I couldn't get onto their home page at www.protype.us as it said something about 'Apache' being installed on their page. Maybe they are in the process of building a web page. Anyway, I sent a pasted resume to office@protype.us and we'll see if I hear anything back.

ProType
I have worked for ProType in PA for the last year. I think they are great. My time is flexible and I make as much money as I want because I can work as much or as little as I want and when I want. Pay periods are twice a month, which is the 1st through the 15th and the 15th through the end of the month. I saw a posting that said they never knew when they were going to get paycheck, but I have never had a problem. I usually get my paycheck within 4 days after pay period ends like any hospital I ever worked for and they pay twice a month. I have been very happy with them. The work is steady. There are lots of dialects and lots of specialties because they are University of Pennsylvania and a teaching hospital and also Temple University Hospital (so doctors rotate as fellows and students come and go). They fit you to what your experience is and there is always someone available if you have questions. The owners are great!!. I got sick right after I started with them and I couldn't work very much. They stuck with me and were very supportive until I got back on my feet. That is more than I can say for another company I used to work for. (When my dad had cancer and I took even 3 days off they griped about it. That was Transhealth out of Franklin, Tennessee by the way. They were very regimental about when you worked and always looking over your shoulder. I didn't like them at all. They weren't very forgiving about scheduling at all!) Anyway that is I what I think of ProType. Great company to work for, great pay, and great hours.
Protype
Worked for them for about a year from 2001-2002. They have been bought by Cymed so everything may be different. They were very unorganized, mom & pop kind of place. Otherwise they were great, but I was doing letters and they could not come up with a mailing list in the whole year I was there, had to make my own database. Imagine that impact on your line count? Luckily my husband has a paycheck, otherwise I could not have done it that long.
Protype
Not much work ever. Are they hiring? IF so, I am surprised, because we don't have enough work.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

ProType (Penn.)
Archive info is old (2005 through 2007) so am looking for someone who has current knowledge of the pros and cons for this company. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
More ProType questions
I also am interested in Protype. Specifically would appreciate info on what platform they use. Also the old info looked like there was no direct deposit. Has this changed? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
ProType is AWESOME!!!!!NM
The work is BEAUTIFUL!!!! and pay is pretty darn good.
ProType in PA and flexible hours
I have worked for ProType for 1 year. They have flexible hours for the MT that is looking for it to work around her 3 children's schedule, and with regards to the MT looking for their address or phone number. They are ProType, Inc. 8794 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, PA 19082 or you can contact Maureen with your contact information and any questions at office@protype.us or fax her at 1-610-853-9600, and she will get in touch with you as soon as she is available. See my other posting under ProType for specifics about company and my feelings about working for them. I think they are great! You do not have to live in PA to work for them.
Can anyone share with me any info on ProType
in Phili? Thanks
FutureNet, and ProType out of Penn. so far. nm

company called protype out of new york
I see protype will pay 11 cents per line. Does anyone know anything good or bad about them?
there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

Some WMX posts on page 4 here near the top of the page. nm

I don't see that on their web page

Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page
To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc. You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference. Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines, as they could both be half a page? That is just my opinion though. Could work in your favor and could not. If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.
I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....
Keystrokes is really popular right now.
you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies. Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line? If so, could you please email me. Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.

On what page are they? If they are there, I will
x
Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.
I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.
It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us. I fail to see how some people can stick their head so far in the sand.
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.
P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding! What an insult!
$1.00 per page
Yes, I thought it was very low, too. And she pointed out that you make the $1.00 page if you are very good. I thought that was hilarious. It was like she meant to convey that only the very top transcriptionists could ever hope to attain that job with such an exhorbitant amount of money as $1.00 per page! I had to hang up quickly before I laughed out loud! No hard feelings with them, though, and I wasn't all that insulted. I wish them well. They just don't have clue about how to hire quality transcriptionists and pay them well. Of course, that problem is a common one in this industry, but they just seem to have even less of a clue than most companies about paying us properly for quality work.

look down the page
look down the page, much ado about something....

There's no such thing on the web page

pay by page vs line
Hmmm...I work by line and I pull in over $4000 per month. I'd hardly call that no money.
Don't you have to go to NJ to train? And pay was only 1.75 per page. nm

Paid by the page, HUH! You will be
YOU HAVE TO BEG FOR YOUR PAYCHECK TO BE MAILED!!!!
By the page is great
Listen, I have done work both ways. By the page, you cannot get cheated. I have been cheated by line counters. I got $2.50, $2.75 and $3.00 a page. I would not go below $2.50, but you will make money this way. It's awesome! I congratulate you.
per page/per line
I know of MTs that charge $2 per page and make good money but I would question if you are cheating yourself especially with a report that is very long. This may benefit a MT who is typing a lot of short reports. I would prefer being paid per line when transcribing lengthy reports just for the fact that you are paid for every single character and space. But, I would prefer being paid per page when transcribing many short reports because of the time its take to enter in patient information in each report, which slows down productivity. So, base your decision on what you are transcribing and other factors.
