Sounds awesome to me. I only get $2.50 a page and the crappy part is...

In Reply to: I thought it was good when I charged - $3.00 per page.
If I only type half a page, I get paid for half, a quarter of a page, three quarters, and so on. I'm not happy about this at all, especially since all I've been given to go by for examples are a few reports typed by someone else. There have been days I've worked 10 to 12 hours and I'm quick! I think you should be paid by the line or character. Except in your case, if they are strictly going by pages, you'd better jump on it!

Sounds like the place I used to work for. The one with crappy program?

Wow that sounds awesome! nm

going by the address in Clearwater - it's a pretty crappy crappy location
so it kind of makes me wonder what the company is like! I know that location shouldn't really matter, but let's be realistic - there are TONS OF PLACES in Clearwater with office space to rent, but judging by the address, I am pretty sure this is out of an apartment or house. Not that that should make a difference,
Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
Sounds like the part-time is an afterthought
I do have the small children at home, why won't someone fit their schedule to meet mine? What would you do if you had to, oh my goodness, get a job outside the house?
Sounds retaliatory to me. Rather short-sighted on their part. (nm)

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

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

Their pay is crappy! nm
nm
Really crappy ESLs. nt
They don't want to pay, accounts are crappy, you have to
fight to get your paycheck, they want you to edit offshore work, etc.
Maybe it was your attitude as well as your crappy sm
transcription skills that got you let go from there.
RE: crappy doctors and good MTs
Any halfwit could have figured out that she was talking about the doctor's crappy dictating skills, not their doctoring skills. She never said she couldn't do the work either. Every MT would like an occasional good dictator, but those all go overseas or to VR. You're the one with the bad attitude and condescending tone.
Crappy pay, no communication, inept QA. NM
I've gotten some really crappy stuff too and it just
wears me out. I can't make lines, but can't claim no work either. I'll have a really bad day, the next day will be so-so, and the next day is pretty good, and then it starts all over. I don't mind no work, but I wish when I ran out the first time I could just take the rest of the shift off.
Crappy hours at first, but guess what
My son years ago got a job, only the weekends but he was on call. He quit. That was not a good idea because had he stayed his salary now would be through the roof. He quit a union job. My husband now works for the same company. When he started, he was what they called on the board. Well, anytime a person not able to work their shift, my hubby got that- all hours- anytime-and now he has seniority and paid off in the long run for him. No wonder outsiders being given/offered our jobs. No one should ever complain about their jobs.
Not unusual, but some of the crappy companies
force MTs to work weekend days rather than simply hiring part-timers for weekend work like most companies do.
Again with the crappy reading skills
With each post, you clarify how you are able to make your grandiose claims about VR. Reading, as they say, is fundamental, and once you ignore that whole pesky reading for context thing, I'm sure VR does get a lot easier. Try it again, slowly this time, and you'll see that I qualified the 1000 lines number by following it with an 'or'. I know...it requires actually a little more effort than looking for squiggly red lines under the word, but you may find you actually can follow a discussion better. But don't try it in your work. It might actually slow you down.
Obviously you don't receive the crappy quality of drafts...sm
that I see all day long on this system. They claim that it learns but it doesn't, because my coworkers and I make the same corrections over and over again to the same things.
GOOD MTs aren't ... but there are tons of crappy ones
Finding one that is actually GOOD in this business? nearly impossible. I do editing and QA (and have been an MT for 22 years) and I see nothing but horrid work day in and day out.
I work for SoftScript w/ another crappy system

Hate these companies that want you to test BEFORE they tell you the crappy pay!!!
What a waste of time!!!
Crappy company with crazy platform and
sick of working for crappy companies?
I have been thinking about starting my own company. I have done some research and it looks like all I really need is an FTP site, handhelds (that the doc's purchase themselves), and to get accounts. If anyone is interested in doing this with me let me know...or if anyone has any other information on starting a company input would be appreciated!
Why are we working as IC's and the companies are making profits off of us? Let's cut out the middle man and make the money we deserve!!
My idea is that a bunch of us get together and create a business. We put together a good sales letter...we all do our part in mailing these letters out, i.e., finding accounts.. We decide how much we want to charge per line, (I believe the going rate is around 11-14 cents a line).
These are just some ideas....Anyone interested??
I quit because it was a crappy company. I worked in QA.
There was so much crap like you are spewing here. My standards are much higher than SS and I told H so when I quit.
Trust me.. I have come from a lot of crappy jobs that is why it was so refreshing to hear some
excitement over the possibility of another job.. one that may be a great hidden treasure. I just think it is great when people never lose that newbie enthusiam even after some not-so-great experiences. I admire you totally and best wishes.. I hope this is the job you have looked for..If so, sign me up LOL
No, if they knowingly tested you when you had crappy sound effects what would they treat you like a
.
I agree. This past year has been terrible with MQ. Never enough work, crappy dictators, no pay for
weekends and holidays anymore etc etc I guess with all their legal woes we are paying for it and then have to have few blanks and 98% QA on dictators I have never even heard of. A joke to be sure and no matter how good the new pay plan is or they allow everyone a window to work then everyone will be working all hours to get lines for incentive which they probably never will. MQ is losing a lot of MTs and I expect that will continue. They seem to just keep pushing and pushing and it almost seems like they want people to leave so it really makes you wonder what is going on here. They really just dont care.
Some WMX posts on page 4 here near the top of the page. nm

My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm

OH - I thought part transcription, part escription, but don't know for sure

C.C. You are Awesome
C.C. Thanks for always watching out for us!
AWESOME
TransTech is a GREAT place to work!
and they are AWESOME
to work for and with.
AWESOME!
U go girl (or guy)! Keep us informed about your new job and congrats!
Then that is awesome!
Best of luck!
Awesome!
Been here 7 years, back before it was bought out. There is endless work and that's NO joke. Small management staff, pay on time. Only drawback for some is using the C-phone. No hassles, nobody looking over your shoulder. You just work and get paid.
TRS is awesome!
I have worked for TRS for just over 2 years and couldn't be happier. TRS truly cares about its employees and it shows. I can't imagine working anywhere else.
YOU ARE AWESOME
Very well stated! I am VERY interested in the 3000 lines/6-8 hours. WOW! Can you emaiil me and share you knowledge on how you acheived this goal. Do you do this consistently, daily? I think I am pretty up there usually coming in around 2000, but I am very interested in how skilled, quality MTs come in at 3000 a day consistently??? Please share you knowledge with me so I can try it. Thank you for the great post! I am so frustrated reading this line count stuff. I love Transtech and my sense, as good as it can be in this remote working situation, is that they are honest people and wound not intentionally mesh with line counts.
Awesome!
That is an awesome rate. Usually it is 4 cpl. What company is this with?
That is awesome!
A friend told me when he went to RT school (a long time ago) he was taught by physicians. I heard nursing school used to be full of practical experience too.
Awesome!
I ended up typing the report over again, but believe me - I will NEVER forget your instructions on accessing a lost report, and I will get some cardboard ASAP!!! Thanks very much...
AWESOME
4-1/2 years and don't intend to leave. Great, great, great company.
Awesome!
I start tomorrow. I'm glad to hear that our supervisor is good.
You are AWESOME
You get the picture!
Awesome!
I worked for them for a couple of months. The work was very easy, but the paychecks were a little slow!
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
awesome post above. thank you for saying that!
