LOL! Yep, people are thrilled with system that is slow and
xx
I agree. Have people not learned its always slow after a holiday?!

Not for people on my team. Slow work for months. nm
:(
You have to use their puter, do 1200 lpd at a low rate, and they're slow and nasty getting people

Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
What I do when its slow
I do exactly what the email they sent out to us says. If there isnt any work during my shift, I leave and take the kids somewhere, clean or do laundry, make dinner early or whatever. Then when work comes in, I work. If work is there during my shift but there isnt a lot, I take what I can and then go do my thing and come back later. When work is slow, I do work longer hours trying to get work in. I get a good line count in too. I am not in this career for others. I am in it to feed my family. I am in it for a paycheck. If work is slow, I will take what I can get when I can get it. I type fast and am productive and I will not go without.
The email they sent out said to t ype during early morning hours or at night when the work is in there. So that is what everyone has to do. First come, first serve. We all have the same chance of getting on there and getting the work. The early bird gets the worm, ya know. This MT that has 20,000 lines per pay. I think that is great. I try to get that also. There is nothing wrong with that or unbelievable about that. It all boils down to how bad you want it.
slow
outdated platform, new QA guidelines for the birds. I'm trying to find something else now.
You can slow it down (sm)
In your transnet player box, there's a box that says more or something like that. I'm not logged in right now and can't remember. But, it's at the bottom right of the transnet player box. Click that, and you can adjust the volume, speed, etc.
The 4th was slow for many
nm
Very slow to pay!
nm
slow down
Please tell me how. When I do it it does not give me that option. Help!!
Slow for me, too.
There just is not the level of work available that I would expect, sometimes nothing at all, this is on the same account you asked about, looks like the monitor took that part out. Went from a hundred report backup to a job trickling in here and there, started to dry up around Christmas but seems to me it never recovered. That's not a seasonal slump, the work may be going elsewhere.
DQM slow?
my first job is taking FOREVER to come up...anybody else?
Still slow
I guess it is feast or famine depending on account because they are still just trickling through. 
It's slow for me, too.

It's Slow Everywhere
Yeah, it's just that time of the year when people have better things to do than go to the hospital I guess. In my 18 years experience in medical transcription there are always these slow times occasionally. It will pick up. I'm not worried. I socked back some when it was busy and I was getting those great bonuses TT gives us. People have been on here slamming TT saying everything from there being too many transcriptionists on accounts and even accusing them of outsourcing. That is one thing they do not do and I really feel that my statement is accurate. You can tell by the job numbers that work has been slow. I was transcribing a report a couple of weeks ago and there was a female yelling out to a doctor that was walking away and she said, Hey, get back to that office and bring us in some patients...we're hurting here. Confirmation to me. I love Transtech and plan on hanging in there with them until the cows come home. Good luck and don't worry...it's gonna pick up soon.
I do not think it is slow everywhere!
But, that being said, I honestly wonder why people feel the need to say this sort of thing out here? It makes more sense to be in touch with your company and get it straightened out than be in this state of upset when a phone call or an email might give you a direct answer.
SLOW PAY
I never did receive my last paycheck from Transform. Got tired of fighting for it, but it's not too late to contact the Department of Labor and Attorney General, I guess.
YOU SAY SLOW?
If it is slow where you are already, I hope all the employees have a large bank account because the holidays are not even here yet!! You will be out of work for 2 months.
slow
They are slow. I've been getting emails not to download work on secondary accounts so they will have enough for the primaries, but they are fair and usually let you flex your shift if you need to. They tend to get backed up in the evenings.
YES SLOW
That's why I am on this board. If it doesn't get better, I need to move on - not paying the bills here..........
Only slow during the day when EVERYBODY
:)
slow slow slow
The lady who will contact you worked for another company and slow is her middle name. I don't know if it's that she's not organized or what, but she takes her sweet time with anything she does. It can take weeks and usually people have found another job.
Yes, it's slow
I think it's a combination of the holiday slow-down and the fact that a lot of MTs from MQ are trying to jump ship right now and may be flooding the job market. I had to job hunt in July and I was very discouraged by how long it took the companies to get back to me. Several of them did keep my resume on file and contacted me later, although I was already working at a new job by then. This was, in a couple cases, months after I originally applied. Some do hold on to your resume and contact you later when they have an opening.
We are slow also. However, are you
still logged in to the pool when you are not working?? If not, they are going to the next available MT when they come in. I personally stayed logged in and therefore am in when a job pops in if I am the next one in line.
could you tell me what is slow sm
about it? I just applied with them and know nothing of this platform. I only want to work part-time. Just curious.
HMM, i must be slow, cause i sure
xx
Slow???
I have been with KS for about 6 months now and I wish I could say my account was slow. I do clinic and just got 75 jobs assigned to me yesterday. There is no lack of work on my end. Maybe you should suggest an account change, or maybe they're trying to weed out the slackers.
Okay are all the Rad accounts slow?

You must be slow, so VR will work for you.
Personally, I could not live on 13.50 an hour, or 12 an hour or some other equally low rate of pay. That is not even typing 200 lines an hour, and if you are so experienced, you certainly did not work on your speed skills. Your editing speed is just as slow, obviously.
VR will only help people like you who are very slow at transcribing. It is not going to help those who work much faster.
IBM selectric? I knew people who could transcribe 2000 lines a day on those things. Think what they did when computers came in.
Your post is confusing to me. Yes, I use an expander and a computer,and I get paid for my work because I did the input. I am also going to have to do the input for VR but that will pay half of what I make now. Forget it, sista, I am not an idiot. And I have yet to see an ADT feed that worked without glitches.
Like I said, you sit under your mushroom, let the owner and management make money off you while you sit there and work for a rate of pay that won't allow you to buy peanuts or popcorn cuz those are luxury items on your rate of pay.
Oh, I get it now. Sorry, little slow tonight. I'm
so sorry this happened to you. Unbelievable how this world is. I hope you get every penny you're due and THEN SOME.
Ah...but what fun it makes on a slow day!
We all love to be 'right'!! And if we can't be right then maybe we can just be silly. Sorry etched in stone. I should have continued but ended up getting distracted. It is (was) a cold, snowy, slow, and beautiful day and a fun topic came up and I was inspired to respond. Obviously not very well. Small, see, long, short, no ..... we will keep them all and continue to wonder why 127 people opened a message that so obviously had NM in it!
Just can't help it...it might just mean nasty message or naughty message so we have to peek.
I am sorry to hear you are slow... everyone
seems busy. Contact the office, I am sure they will help you. We have a lot of new accounts on board.
You should ask for another account until the slow......sm
season passes. It is like this everywhere. I work 2 jobs and both places are the same.
They have slow periods also

My account is slow right now but it has been
good prior to this. I work in Word.
Been very slow here....discouraging.... nm
