LOL, it has occured to me I had a brain fart!...
When the coordinator mentioned getting a copy of my license she probably was talking about my driver's license/ID. 
"After 4 yours" ? eh? Who doesn't have brain cells now? nm

Whose QA gets paid per correction?
We get paid hourly, although I do know there are some who get paid per line. The folks I know paid per line get credit for the full report, not just their corrections. They also are the first blamed if a client reports an error in a report that has passed through QA.
Correction: Should NOT expect to be paid

Amphion doesn't run out and if they do, you get paid!!! nm

It doesn't look like you'll get paid by Nicholas
you don't know when you'll get paid. The others I have no idea. Just my 2 cents.
You're supposed to get 12 hrs of paid training even though it doesn't take that long to learn

Use your brain, please...
If you really believe you can make more money working directly for the client, then do that. Or, better yet, go out and find your own clients and see how much they are willing to pay for MT services.
My brain......
I have 17 years of acute care experience. I work at home for a large 350-bed hospital, along with doing clinic for KS. I also do maternal-fetal medicine for another company. I would put my brain up against yours any day. Sometimes having a change, such as clinic, helps to give the brain a rest when spending a day with ops and maternal-medicine reports (which by the way is not easy work). Don't judge me just because of an observation I have made. I have been where hospitals and companies don't assign work out in the hopes certain people will leave. My advice to you, if you don't like it, find something else instead of complaining about it on here.
It is Sunday, my brain's day off.

You don't any brain cells...
Go back in your cave and stop trashing a good company. After 4 yours, have had nothing but a great experience. Time for you to hit the pharmacy for you meds as you obviously need it.
Maybe not only low work but low brain? LOL nm

Maybe you don't have the brain power...Or,
Ever consider those possibilities, hun?
Food for thought, anyway.
It's a Brain Drain all right!
I don't really care how much money corporations have invested in VR, ASR, whatever they want to call it, I'm voting with my feet. I'm getting re-educated in a different field and leaving transcription as soon as it is feasible. In the meantime, I am actively seeking IC work that is straight transcription.
JUST SAY NO TO VR!
Engage YOUR brain please...
It is most certainly a pay cut. I have worked on ChartMatrix and can tell you that this software is slower. I did not see any improvement whatsoever in the quality of the SR that I did on that software compared to what we are working with now. I would have to be able to consistently do more than 350 lph with the new software in order for it not to be a pay cut based on what I am making now with our current ISR. In the example she provided the MT was only doing about 280 or so LPH with the ISR, correct? I know it was NOT over 300...
that tells me some people don't know how to use their brain.

LOL tired brain too. That s/b More week nm
gone back to bed - but i understand about brain being off
Sunday is the only day I dont use punctuation, too.
oops..had a brain freeze.
MQ does provide equipment. not sure, however, if PT flex is provided with equipment or not.
Oh my...Ever get a word stuck in your brain...sm
that you know is wrong, but you use it anyway? That is what happened there. How embarrassing.
Its going offshore because so many brain-dead MTs
admittedly don't care if the company they work for offshores. I refuse to work for any company that offshores. I am an AMERICAN and until every American has adequate work, I say, keep our work here. We are being the authors of our own demise by our I have got mine kinds of selfish attitudes.
TRANSCEND - Sorry - too many trans on the brain

Anyone with half a brain knows why they lost the account.
I know why, but I don't understand why. It is like they did it on purpose. Why not just sell-out to start with, why let it get to the point that it did and have their name smeared everywhere (let me say justly so). I know there are still MTs who don't know all the details and I myself probably don't know all of them, but I know lots of details and they aren't pretty.
Big MT...we're sharing the same brain waves again
That's my definition of IC as well. I used to have that position with MQ, but with all of their changes I'm...well...looking elsewhere. I have no problems with promising a number of lines as long as I don't have to do them at a specific time. Things happen, especially when you have kids, but if you have the work ethic you'll still get things done, just not at a specific time. Agree with the pool as well. You'll never have a great line count unless you have consistent dictators. If anyone believes differently, I don't think they've seen how fab your line count can be with the same dictators. Anyway, it sounds like you work for a wonderful place with all the things I'm looking for, i.e., 24-hour TAT and consistent dictators. Would you mind sharing where and if they would by chance have openings you know of? You can email if you don't want to post it. Don't worry, I'm not thinking I'd start at that cpl--I'm sure you had to work up to that:-) I'm really just looking for the other perks.
Sorry for the typo/brain fluff-offense

I can't figure out how to use the shorthand properly (brain dead I guess) (sm)
Maybe I haven't taken enough time to learn it (I can be a bit impatient with myself), but I seem to have a mental block and have about given up. I used to have Smartype with my old system (before DQS) and wonder if it worked with Vianeta. Anyway, anyone out here, what do you use other than the ShortHand that comes with it?
Oops,meant making "more" (brain lapse)
nm
ps: Please excuse typos! "Hands-working-faster-than-brain syndrome!" haha (nm)

Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
Correction
What determines their line? I am stressed these days. Thanks.

Sorry, title should read I Believe That...

Re: Why would anyone be WILLing to slave over this work for 27-YEAR-OLD wages?
Actually would be correct to have just said regressive wages...
Correction
this isn't clear:
The corporations call the shots with YOUR Congress/government primarily because AMERICANS are so easily pacified and distracted by the toys these corporations made for that exact purpose.
They (corporations) call the shots because of their influence; and CONGRESS helped to give them that power in the late 1800s by passing certain laws which gave the corp. similar rights to individuals...
I mixed two thoughts originally...
Correction - sorry
feedback on that PROGRAM (i.e. Isagenix), not problem.
rad pay correction
I need to clarify this was only for emergency coverage and is temporary. My supervisor informs me that once we go to VR, only 2 inhouse full-time transcriptionists will be used and those positions are filled.
correction
meant same nonexistent or uncommon email service provider
Correction
Worked for them in mid 90s, not 80s....it's been a long day!
correction
let you go that should read.
Correction
80% + ESL account
Correction
Whoops! I meant places, not placed.....
Correction...Not 12 cpl...
You'd have to make between 10.72 and 10.1 cpl for straight typing to make 7.5 cpl for ISR at Webmedx. I don't think a relative newbie with only 5 years experience is making over 8.5 cpl starting with Webmedx. Correct me if I'm wrong. I just don't believe it for a minute.
Just a correction...sm
your base rate is NOT $9....it is based on YOUR line rate, so for everyone it is different. I actually get quite a bit more than that. Also, Medware has more than one platform, so what is happening on the Dictaphone side is NOT necessarily happening on the Merit side, and not everyone is unhappy on the Dictaphone side. Not THAT many have left. Just so you know and can make an informed decision.
Correction.
Completely different atmosphere on CMX side.
Correction
Whoops, I meant to say I HOPE, not I CAN. It's way late where I am, so I had best pack it in for the night. Sorry for the error.
Correction: Above should be "...NO announcement..." NM

Correction to post - sm
I have also seen positive and negative things mentioned about virtually every transcription company discussed on this web site. Didn't mean to say companies that YOU discussed on this web site!!

OSI - I am so sorry - PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION
Note correction in CAPS
If you do control S for a job and click on statistics you will get a number of lines. If you are on OSI's very own line cheating Xpress server, that number will be much HIGHER (NOT LOWER) than the IChart line count. Do this. Do only one job for the day then write down the correct line count using the above method. Go to IChart although it may take hours to show up so you may want to do this on a day off. There is your proof. I-CHART LINES ARE LOWER THAN OSi X-PRESS LINES. The reason the correct statistics are disabled on the XPress server is because OSi is skimming lines and don't want you to see the correct number. OSI is diligently trying to eventually get every possible account on their very own XPress server so they can cheat on all accounts. Rest assured that they are billing the client for the correct line count. I could not make any money with OSI because of their dishonesty. Dictaphone Extext is a good system but OSI could change how it was set up and rip the MT's off.
Correction - sorry for confusion
I apologize for not checking this before -- I just found a problem with my suggestion, so here's the deal:
You are better off forcing the format - as you did to h:mm:ss (or hh:mm:ss), to ensure that all cells display consistently. This does force you to have to enter more digits for hours though.
There is a shortcut for entering data -- for 00:05:12 (5 minutes, 12 seconds), you can type: 0:5:12
For 00:05:01 you can type 0:5:1
This may be more foreign than just adding the extra leading zero, but if you're hyper about cutting every keystroke, you can....
Then when you add down a column, there's nothing special to do in the sum.
Sorry for any confusion.
Holidays correction
I'm sorry the above poster is right. If you want off you have to take it without pay or use PTO. You get paid extra if you work the holiday...which to me is a bonus as so many don't pay anything extra for holidays. Sorry for the confusion.
Correction - "a few WORDS"....
