yes it is true, 1 header and 1 footer nm

Anything you transcribe in a header/footer is paid.

Yes to spaces, no to header and footer. Their rates are about
average, not the best and not the worst. Decent benefits package.
OSI reduced header/footer size but still keeps
@#$%
They don't pay header, footer, bold, underlined and at 7cpl at that and you have to ask
:{
Is 8 cpl on 65 char with spaces,header, footer good rate for IC work?
Want to accept position. Wondering if that's a good rate today. THank you
I got an automated email shortly after and received info from Debra shortly after that. NM

Any new info on Amphion? Archive search doesn't provide new info (sm)
Looking for a part-time position with decent pay and decent workflow. There's nothing new in the archives.
header?
What kind of header is it? Do you at least get paid for what you type in the header?
ER already 100% automated
Please check out the article linked in my original message above.
Tax info doesn't have to be mailed until
January 31, although it can be sent out earlier. Much too early to be worrying about it now. If you don't get it call the IRS and they'll take care of it. You should always save check stubs for this very reason.
Doesn't sound too promising .. thanks for the info. nm

Wait a sec - EMR doesn't specify HOW the info gets in the chart sm
It can be transcribed (by US), entered through the point and click system (usually by a clerical person), done via VR (either doc or a member of staff), as long as it is in ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD FORM and available online. It has nothing to do with being typed in or always created by the physician.
Don't get worked up by EMR - it is not going to end our industry.
I just have to fill in patient's name and everything else is automated and
even filling in the patient's name is made easy, I just type it and enter and it goes where it needs to do and then I type. The work is batched so I just keep typing until I have 10 -12 pages and then send, again all automated and then start another batch.
I worked for YOG for a short time years ago and they had so many demographics it took at least 5 minutes to fill them in, had to constantly look up stuff on the lists to find correct info and never got the same doctors twice to be able to learn doctor's information so you didn't have to keep looking it up.
My server has never been down, except during hurricanes last year, so no down time. A couple of times the hospital's server has been down and I've been able to get my lines, though had to take a break during my regular shift and work a little longer in the evening. Never went a day with NO work. System never locks up.
I don't like their UNpersonable automated email...usually shy away from
companies that are too busy to make you more than a number.
I think it's automated speech recognition - nm

maybe taking off for header? just a thought not sure how they do it-nm

Automated or automatic speech recognition...nm

I got the same automated email, but did not get any additional emails...
apparently the left hand is not aware of what the right hand is doing. I would not bother with them at this point since they apparently are not on top of things. I would think they would have shut off the automated reply or at least changed it seeing as they have an ad running...makes ya wonder.
There was 1 positive post in Jan. I emailed them and got an automated reply. Have years of ex

Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't

That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
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!! 
Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm
Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc. Otherwise, the all the 411. 
Thanks!
Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone
love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.
Need info on eMTS out of Florida. Any info would be appreciated!
nm
Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages. Have things changed for the better here? Is there steady, reliable work? Able to make any decent money? Thanks!
okay, that doesn't really help. I really need to know
the major city that is near you, how far away it is, and also put the next major city to you. For instance, if you live in kissmee, florida, you would put Orlando about 30 minutes away and Tampa about 45 minutes to one hour away.
TH doesn't. nm

It doesn't mean anything now though.
I don't care if I got anything, but if it didn't come until all the posts about not getting even a card, it just doesn't mean anything.
for CMT...CMT really doesn't mean....sm
a heck of a lot, as I know plenty of CMTs who make errors (just like any MT who sometimes does), errors like typing Port-A-Cath as Porta-Cath. For decades, *CMT* yielded NOTHING extra $$-wise. Today that is changing a tad.
It doesn't get better than this! NM

It doesn't seem so to me. SM
I was told that my account would be 50-60% ESL, but I don't find them too difficult. As well, there are lots of normals to look back on for help if needed.
It doesn't take me any
extra time. I just write down the job numbers while they are downloading. If I was having to actually take time out of work, I don't know that I would do it!
It may well be, but it sure doesn't sit well.
Doesn't matter to me either way, I'm not staying.
MQ doesn't either.

Maybe she doesn't have the exp in ...sm
the area they are advertising on the job boards. Maybe she doesn't have the years of exp they want. There could be many reasons why she hasn't obtained another job. Maybe she wanted to give this one a fair chance. Who knows?
doesn't have anything to do with that..
how many companies state a minimum and overhire so you end up not making your lines? It does not mean Synernet does not do the same thing. Have you worked for them? Do you know this for sure?
This doesn't add up...
I read the article. It states, We have 1,000 domestic transcribers and 600 in India. Now, why do they need 600 transcriptionists in India if only 15% of the work is being sent to India? So, it takes 600 Indian MTs to complete 15% of Transcend's work and 1,000 American MTs to complete 85%. Either the Indian MTs are very, very slow (and how is that cost effective and how does that affect turnaround time and quality) or they are sending more than 15% of the work to India. Take your pick  .
That says a lot about you then, doesn't it.
Why on earth would you find entertainment in MTs taking a pay cut to do VR and being low on work, etc. Sigh.
From the looks of that ad, it doesn't appear that
N/M
I believe and to anyone who doesn't sm
she tells the truth here. It's so sad that they are doing this to us. Those who stay will probably be people who are the 2nd income in the home, not the main breadwinner.
You mean she doesn't post her name (nm)

That doesn't mean it was sold...
there are many reasons why the accounts/offices are going through closure/moving.
If contracts are not renewed, then not only will the account be finished but if that is a significant percentage of work for that office MQ may choose to merge that office with another for cost savings.
All I know to believe is what they have told me.
Well that doesn't say much about the company
You've been there 4 months and have 5 accounts already????? That tells people that they run out of work consistently otherwise you would be working on 1 account and have a backup, maybe 2. I've been there years and didn't even get my secondary account for almost 6 months because the work was so heavy on my primary account. Things have changed. The turnaround is so great they have to continually overhire. The only thing I have to say is think about why you were hired at 10 cpl. You're training the VR that is going to be cutting that 10 cpl to 5.5 cpl. If you're happy earning 5.5 cpl doing FULL editing that's great. Maybe you weren't there when the CEO was saying that the people who do really well on editing are not high producers in typing and vice versa. Those who have a hard time doubling their lines in editing are the ones producing 350-400 lines an hour in typing. There's no way they can make 700 lines per hour doing FULL editing. So if you're doing great in editing, you're not that great in typing...you're average. If you're a high producer in typing, let's see how happy you'll be when making 5.5 cpl for producing the same amount of work.
This company doesn't try either
They have not responded to their employees directly ... instead they put their comments anonymously on this board.
