Requiring minimum 700 lines a day, 5 days a week, and the weeks must be either or Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat. Past workers only had to commit to 2 weekend days a month but new hires must take a weekend day each week.
This seemed to be as low as a person could go for weekly commitment, unless I misunderstood.

Here is what the recruiter told me
A few weeks ago I was offered a position with the Baltimore office for their "big" oncology account. The recruiter told me they start all transcriptionists at 7.5 cpl but after 90 days you would be moved up to 8 cpl. She also said that they now have a production pay plan that would pay 7.5-8 for the first (I think it was 700 lines); then 8.5 for for 701-1200; 9 for 1201-?; and it would go on up to as high as 9.75 cpl depending on lines produced. I turned them down because I thought that 7.5 or even 8 was low for someone with a lot of experience in oncology. I was very disappointed to say the least...especially after going through talking to them on the phone, then testing, then waiting for them to get back to me (which took forever) to see if I even passed. I thought I hadn't made it through the test and was really down and out...then after all that I turned them down anyway.
The recruiter for KS told me I
Lanier Voicewriter. Haven't heard back from the recruiter lately. She must be busy doing other things, trying to make ends meet.
That is what the recruiter told me.
I talked with 2 MTs that told me they were making 10/5 cpl for night shift. They were hired as new grads straight from Career Step back when they had the Focus on the Future program. I asked the recruiter about it, who confirmed that is what they pay for night shift. I have also seen others on this forum post that that is what they are making. I would be inquiring about why you are not getting the night differential when others are. Sounds like you are getting screwed.
Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m
Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!! 
Recruiter told me the don't outsource
And supposedly they are hiring me because they are getting a huge account with 6 hospitals. Any more info on them - I need to let them know tomorrow and don't know what to do. It sounded good, but now I'm worried.
another thing, recruiter told me about this
wonderful account that rarely had an opening because the MTs loved it so much. I had worked on this account when I was at YOG so I knew how horrible it was. After talking to the TL she told me they constantly have openings because the account is so difficult that they can't keep anyone on it. I'd only believe half of what the recruiter tells you. The recruiter is the one who denied the offshoring, the TL was the one who told me they did and also told me they offshored the good stuff.
I was told by recruiter that about 80% were now internet nm

The recruiter for Axolotl told me
nm
ITA. The recruiter told me how lucky I
was that they had an opening on this wonderful account. Said the MTs just loved it and there was rarely an opening (A.V. in CA). I had worked on the account at YOG and it was HORRIBLE! When I talked to the team leader she told me that it was a very difficult account, that they couldn't keep MTs on it. Fortunately for me I already knew how horrible it was and turned them down. I wouldn't work for a company where they lie to you before you even get your foot in the door.
Recruiter told me they do pay for spaces...sm
The black and white line did confuse me a bit though.
I was told by their recruiter that they outsource off-shore.

I was told by recruiter they pay gross line
nm
No but just talked to a recruiter who told me VR jobs pay
S/l Precyse. The recruiter told me how lucky I
was that there was an opening on a particular account because all the MTs just loved the account and there was rarely an opening, it was a great account, yada, yada, yada. They mentioned the name of the account and I had worked on it several years earlier with another company and it was a horrendous account with the absolute worst ESLs I've ever countered and I like doing ESLs usually. I then talked to the team leader and she told me it was an extremely difficult account and that the MTs hated it and they couldn't keep anyone on the account. She accidently let slip too that they offshored and that the best dictation went offshore and the garbage stayed here for the US MTs.
It was fortunate for me that I knew about the account and I turned down the position. I don't know why they coudldn't be up front about it, because no way would I have stayed past day 1 with that account.
Dunno. Recruiter told me 8 cpl w/sp. for 1100 lpd, 8.5 cpl if you do 1400 lpd. nm
f
No, I am not paid any flat rate and I told that recruiter
I gave my notice, but he continues to ask me. Of course, I have not given my notice and will see how this job plays out. One thing to note is the recruiter claims I have a great account that many would be happy to have. May be he is worried about fabrication.
I spoke with recruiter 3-4 wks ago and was told mixed acute care & clinic, no ops exclusively. Low

Any recent SPi info? sm
The archives have nothing very recent and nothing very nice to say about this company. Have things improved there over the last year? I notice their line count requirements are lower than most companies. Does this indicate an inability to provide MTs with enough work or good sound files? ANY recent information would be appreciated. Thanks!
Recent TTS info anyone? (sm)
Wondering if anybody could post updated, recent info on TTS as to how the work load and getting paid on time have been for the past 6 months or so ??? TIA.

Any recent info on Keystrokes
Does anyone have any experience with Keystrokes? I am getting kind of fed up with my company that I have been with for a year, and I just got an e-mail Keystrokes saying that my resume meets their requirements and sent me a questionnaire to fill out. I was wondering how the pay is, how the accounts are, the managers, and how easy their platform is to learn. Any info, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated!
Recent info on Wedmedx
Does anyone have any recent comments, pros, cons, etc, about this company, I have searched the archives but all I come up with are posts dated either 2005/2006 and would like to know some current info, such as line rate, ESL percentage, steady accounts, how are they to work for? Any info would be appreciated, either on the board or in an e-mail. Thanks so much for any information anyone can provide.

Any recent info on TransTech?
I've been looking in the archives, but I can't seem to come up with much (specific) recent info, so I wonder if any current Transtech MTs might be willing to give me a little info.
Are they a good company to work for? Nice people? What type of platform they use? Is it easy or hard to make your lines? What is their approximate pay range (not specifically, just generally). Do they have a decent (do-able) incentive program? Are they strict with your schedule or are they willing to be a little flexible? Is their benefit package really as good as it sounds?
Sorry for so many questions, but I'm trying to decide between another company and TransTech, so any information that you could give me to help me in my decision, positive or negative, would be most appreciated! You can email me privately if you don't want to post.
Recent info is there too. You can click on
related messages in your original post and pull up most recent info and then can do an archives search too. If you click on the archive posts there are multiple posts within the original post usually.
Of course you want the most current info, but for companies like Transtech or Keystrokes someone asks about these companies several times a week so there is a ton of current information on them.
Any recent info on A STAT in FL
Just tested w/ them and wondering if some of the negative reviews from a few years ago still hold current. TIA!
Need recent info on NEMT...nm

Not brand-new info, but recent. (sm)
I think the rate I had there was 8 or 8.5 cents a line, as an IC, which isn't great. The problems I had with them were that they did not use direct deposit for IC's and the checks ALWAYS took at least 15 days to come. They said it was a slow post office. I took the envelope to the post office and they looked at the postmark and said it had only just been mailed 3 days earlier, which means they mailed it 12 days late but would not admit it, nor would they let me have direct deposit or overnight (even though I offered to pay for the overnight service). That was annoying as heck, as it happened every single pay period. The other issue was that they required me to work Sundays, and yet I ran out of work EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY. I was supposed to hit 1100 lines every Sunday and it never ever happened even when I started at 4 a.m. Oh, and when I moved to where there was only satellite internet available, they told me they were compatible with satellite, and they weren't, so I had to find another job fast and they couldn't ever figure out why it wasn't compatible, as their tech was actually just an MT who had taken a computer course. Oy. I liked the work, the supervisors, etc., but it wasn't great. I left almost a year ago and never looked back.
Any recent info on ZyloMed? Thanks!
Any recent opinions/info on TRS? sm
I am probably going to test for Transcription Relief Services this afternoon. Any opinions on this company before I do? TIA.
There's lots of recent info...
you just need to scroll down the page and maybe to page 2 or 3.
for more recent info, use the 2nd google

There is recent info here on this company.
Here it is again. Several divisions, they don't all operate the same. The one in Colorado uses Scribe and Express Scribe which isn't such a great program. I had problems with it freezing all the time. No demographics are filled in. (You aren't paid for doing it either.) You are expected to look up old reports and fill in blanks before you send to QA. They do not have 24/7 technical support. No overtime. No incentive/tier pay. Quarterly QA, must pass to be eligible for $50 bonus. Paid holidays. Some hire IC/and/or employees. Benefits (expensive but more than 1 deductible to choose from). Both straight typing and VR accounts. Cherry picking was a problem. Set schedules. Not for newbies.
