Is anyone here editing on Transcends beyondtxt and if so please let me know how your pay compares to the transcription side.  Are you making more, less, the same? 

Thanks

I could have dealt with an 80% cut.  I think that is a very fair rate.  That is my whole point.  I do not have a problem with the fact that they are moving to ALL editing.  I have a problem with the cut being too large.  I think 6 cpl would have been fair.  That allows you to make a decent wage, but 4 cents is absolutely ridiculous.  If voice recognition is the way of the future, at least MQ is doing something right, at least trying to be fair.  Transcend is just greedy!!

I have been an MT for 2 years, I have never edited before.  This is my first editing position.  I am learning a lot.  Sure the pay is not the best, but I am learning.  Don't get me wrong, I do need money, but I also need experience in this field.  I don't know if the pay goes up or not, I have only been with them for almost 2 months and have not asked for a pay raise.  I am sure there are editing jobs that pay more, but I like the company, the people, and the flexibility.  There are no set lines you have to edit.  You go at your own pace.  There are pros and cons to every company.  Some like Shapin, others do not.     

I Like editing with eScription.   I can edit twice as fast as I can type.     Before eScription, my wrists and shoulders would hurt at the end of the day.    I don't have that problem any more.

I've been a transcriptionists for 15 years.  Before, eScription, I was worried about how much longer I could work.  I think eScription has extended my career.

Boy where to start.  There's one group of about 100 clinic accounts and you don't pull them in any particular order, the specifics are an absolute nightmare, and with so many you never get to actually know any of them enough to go through them quicker.

All the editing is 100% listens, which really kills your pay.  On one of the platforms, the program never works right, so you might have to fill in all the header information, which means writing down the demographic info and then typing it in - you don't get paid for this.

There are a few reports you can get through pretty fast, but by far not many. With being paid by the line, you're really losing a ton of money with them. A great deal of the editors just don't even try, they just push them through and I know because I was a super for them for a time before I got smart and got out.

My STM told us that you should not be able to tell the difference between a VR report and a report that was typed. You should absolutely be listening to the entire dictation and not just reading through and making corrections. Sometimes VR will leave out entire sentences or be way off, and if you don't listen to the dictation your end product will very likely not be what the dictator actually said. I know that our pay rate for editing is dropping considerably, but we still must place quality over quantity.

The way to get a decent LPH editing is to make sure that you are working as efficiently as possible. You should be creating macros to make the edits easier. You can make macros with SH or AutoHotKey. This will allow you to be much faster without sacrificing quality.
