I am also one of the few I guess, who does like the DQS platform and am making more lines per hour, now over a year on it, no where close to your line count though

But, what amazes me is the total inconsistency, once again, between the various MQ offices.  Been with MQ for 11 yrs now, I also work evenings and weekends, starting at 11pm and make the majority of my lines on weekends, yet you started out at 9.5 and I'm only getting 8 cpl ? My office does not know what a raise is and had quite a few lay off's after losing a huge teaching hospital account, so even asking for one, some of my fellow MT's have been looked at like they are asking for zillions.

Your starting line rate at 9.5, is quite frankly and not rudely, hard to believe or swallow for just this reason...many many of us have been there/done that and are not making the same rate. 

I truly congratulate anyone who can get the rate they need to survive on w/o giving up life itself, but I'm thinking you should enjoy and make the most of it because, unless they will be bumping thousands of us up in cpl, once (and if) the threatened new line rate comes out along with the "new consistency nationwide) across all the offices, you may find that line rate out the window, which would be wrong of them to do so.  They promise and I hopehave realized because of all the legal issues, that they DO need one game plan across the board, bene's, salaries, CPL, bonuses, PTO, etc, etc. to be fair and consistent.  But, to make it this way, there will be some or even many of us MQ MT's that will be unhappy.  I hope not, but with MQ, ya never know. 

The latest Qnews on yet again, problems with their filing with the SEC does not look promising for any bright future with pay for us measly pions who are the backbone of the company, but it would be nice to fantasize that corporate would realize if they make us happy by providing us a way to make a decent living w/o turning off our life support, then the MT's could be so instrumental in their "forward looking statements"..geee and I'm not even one of the new suits making the mega millions ..

I just happened to troll through the QNet reading this and noticed that NO ONE has asked FRANK any Q's since May?  Wonder why that is? Maybe the legal suits have advised him to not take any more ask frankie baby Q's as God forbid, someone could bring another class action in that area.  Sorry ladies, was a very long night full of any and all ESL's not even off the boat..did I have problems with them...nope..made my best lines on them (even though I felt wiped for one of them because it seemed to take all his energy just to dictate the reports), it was the dang lilly white good ol boys who I will call Tigger & Piglet because one kept hopping all over, while Piglet would stop, studder, shuffle, walk to one side of the trauma bay on the other side of the room from the phone...then run back at 90 mph to say the next word, therefore making me a great candidate for sign language now

I suppose someone could twist the post I put on the company forum as tattling.  However, I dont see how.  My post simply asked what the posts on MT stars were about.  I really don't think I need to "alert" anyone to anything as millions of MTs come to this forum daily.  Also, as some disgruntled ex-Transcenders said, their words not mine, Larry scans these boards regularly himself.

Another thing, I at least tried to go to the source and find out some information about what the OP was saying about unfair treatment, unfair pay and such between newbies and long-termers at Transcend.  I wanted to know what the person was talking about since she wasnt going to explain herself.  At least, I took it where it belonged in the first place, the company.  Of course, there was never a reply as that person isn't able to post using her name. 

Thank you for your post trying to divert the attention on to me instead of the issue at hand.  If  you are leaving or have left, why are still bothered by what I say?

Do you currently work for them?  If so, could you please share a little bit of information about them?  Do you know what their line rate is? 

Thanks for your help!

I AM NOT AFRAID TO POST MY REAL NAME!! 

To set the record straight... I posted on here because I spoke from my heart which is the TRUTH about what I think from MY perspective on the companies that I have worked for in the past, just to give someone else some insight....  NO ONE from Keystrokes put me up to this, Not Lee OR Becky... OR not management of any kind, form or shape....

I just wanted to express how I felt about working for Keystrokes as I have worked for MANY nationals out there and anyone can e-mail me OR phone me and I will send you my credentials/resume to let you know this is NOT Lee!!!  I think KEYSTROKES ROCKS!!

Not only I have been transcribing since the ice ages but I have been with TT longer than 1 year.  I have worked on many platforms and have been paid hourly, salarly, by the minute, by the line, and by characters so I too am familiar with different aspects of different line counts and I have never had a problem with TT before but I do now and now is my concern.  I am not trying to badmouth TT because I have no problems with TT I just don't understand my line count and Debbie doesn't understand it either.  My only question has been and still is "is there someone out there who have worked with this platform and know how this line count "really" works?" and if that is a question you can answer for me or if there is some kind of formula you have that you can make me understand it since you seem to know that your counts are correct then I would really appreciate it because after all thats all I am asking for. 

Really not worth a reply.  This "old hag" bets you're a 20-year-old stud, sitting there in your birthday suit, doing OB/GYN notes and getting your delights.  Sheesh, yourself.

I appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!  I am happily awaiting to start training later in the week! 

I get the MTjobs newsletter every week usually on Friday and it gives a list of the companies that have posted for the week.  Net Dictations was one of the companies listed. 

I currently check the line count under properties of the document, my own account.  This has always been satisfactory to the client. 

Now I will be subcontracting some work and they said to base the count on 65-character line including headers/footers, spaces, tables, etc.  so to me it would be the same thing I am currently doing??? 

I had seen something where they took the total line count multiplied by 30% and that was roughly based on a 65-character line and then multiplied that by your cpl rate. 

Just looking for the best, and easiest, solution.

Thanks for help-

Sometimes I wonder why these companies tell transcriptionists who rely on these at-home jobs for a living can't be more truthful in regard to the accounts assigned.  I realize it takes a while for an account to get up to speed...but 2 months' time is definitely more than enough.

Good luck to you!
