Thanks for replying - 43/50 is not bad at all!

Thanks for replying
I thought I had seen something about low work after hiring a while back, but that seems okay now? I think I had talked with someone back at the end of last year there but never went any further. Are they IC status only? How's the platform to work on? Do you have to load a bunch of stuff on your computer and do you need special pedal? Thanks for your help! I'm thinking about contacting them again to see what they have available. 
Thank you mg for replying. sm
I am glad that it can remain IC status. Would you be able to share whether or not you have to use a pedal they give you or if the USB wav pedal 5 is compatible with the way you would get their audio? Or would you know if this depends on the account? I am just curious to know if I could use what I already have as opposed to having to install another foot pedal. Thanks again for your feedback regarding the IC status.  I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks you for replying.
Thanks for replying .... sm
Thanks, I decided to not go with them and stay where I am at....
I see. Thanks for replying. NM

Are you replying to me?
I don't work part time; I work full time. I would love to make 200 lines an hour, but I can't. There are no templates that can be used for these letters, and I have to look up the doctors' addresses on the internet for the letters, which I don't get paid for.
I guess you're telling me I'm in danger of losing my job, then? Thanks for the warning!
By the way, how many lines an hour would be you be typing without any templates, as I am doing? Just curious.
Thanks for replying!
Thanks for letting me know. I don't feel so alone now. I wish I could afford to take a break. So things slow down for hospital accounts on holidays also? I was just wondering about that and if everyone says, hey, this is a holiday, I'm not going to be sick today. I wish the holiday would soon be over. Need the work if you know what I mean.
Thank you all for replying
You all give such good advice, which is why I like coming here. I've been working all night and I guess I just needed to vent. I really don't want to leave this company, so I will try and tuff it out. I think we've all been there with these types of situations. I've got work finally (probably cuz its the weekend, i'm not even scheduled to work) so I'm going to get back to it before it dries up again. Keep your fingers crossed for me :)
Thanks again for the comments and email.....
Replying to you
by e-mail. I do not think you want to work for this company.
Replying to Looking Too
Isn't giving a 2-week notice rather silly when all you would do is sit in a chair with no work? What did you do?
I don't know whose post you are replying to SM
because I was only on full QA for 2 days (which to me isn't long at all). I am having a pretty good experience with them, sorry yours wasn't the same. As far as the people at the company, if I have a question it gets answered pretty fast and I'm getting paid on time and getting enough work - that's all I require so I'm getting what I need.
thanks for replying - see message
I remember reading somewhere on here about being paid for 74 character lines. Does anyone know how many characters per line, 9 characters per line adds up.
How disappointing! But thanks for replying. nm

Thanks for replying even tho u don't work there
Hopefully it won't be much longer and I can find out if I need an expansion program or not because I'm telling you ShortHand is looking pretty good right now, especially for that price.
Thanks so much for the info!
I just felt replying here was enough. I SM
really didn't care to receive an email saying basically the same things. I know she doesn't actually have my email address. I have posted hundreds of times on these boards and this is the first time anyone has done that.
Then stop replying
No one is forcing you to read the posts and respond.
Not Replying To Testers
It would also be nice if you replied to people who take your test, instead of just blowing them away and making them wonder if they passed. Not very good business manners. I had a phone call from you, then you sent the test, and I took lengthy time trying to perfect it, only to be ignored. Even a you didn't pass reply would be better than 0.
Thanks for replying, guys...
At least you asked more more questions than I did. Maybe if I knew somebody in Jersey, ha-ha. I would not have minded driving to the next town if that was required; did that back in the day. Oh well. Maybe if I was 20 and up for an adventure, but guess I'm getting too old for this stuff.
BTW: I am the poster who you were replying above to.
Don't you know a single mom is someone who was married but now alone with a child?
All of the replying post is true.
Even if you do meet your line count by the 3rd pay period but don't meet it later because there is no work to transcribe, you still get the nasty grams and phone calls and told to work 24/7 to stay employed. The MTs who don't have this problem are given preference in order to help them make their line counts, thus reducing the work volume of everyone else.
They also just completely changed their insurance, reduccing benefits and raising the employee portion with only about a 10-day notice.
I am replying about the over hire comment.

Thank you for replying...how long did you work for them?
Let me get this right...if you had typed the report, but it went to QA with a blank, then you didn't get paid for the entire report that you typed? Is this the norm at most companies? Doesn't seem fair to me. 
Not the poster you're replying to, but she is RIGHT
VR is way worse than editing as it has been in the past. With editing in the past, you'd take a report transcribed by an MT, a REAL person who did their best with it, and edit that report. No prob.
With VR, you take a report finished by voice recognition, a MESS of a report, not done by a REAL MT who did their best! It's a pile of garbage, a big bag of jumble left for the Editor to sort through and fix ---- a bigger job, a worse job, and on top of THAT, they're paying us HALF of what we usually get paid, not taking into consideration any long-time work experience, skills, knowledge of the MTs.
If you don't understand any of this, then I just don't know about you....
They're not replying to email right now. Hmmm....nm
s
No she's not. She's obviiously replying to a post by DB and bringing to top. nm

I was replying to packrat. I am not sure why it posted under yours. I did not say Hawaii because
who would ever leave Hawaii??? You have a beautiful place to live, and from what I have read, a healthier place to live.
Where would I be without my husband's income? Living in a smaller house, just fine. I married for love and we worked together to get to the point we are now without help from anyone.
I would never, ever criticize you or lecture you and am not talking down to anyone. Packrat just struck me wrong. So many MT's complain that they cannot make money because of a, b or c but never do anything about it. That's all. I did not mean to insult you in any way.
My ending is plenty happy, but it is hopefully 50 years away. I have a great husband, a warm roof over our head and enough food to feed my family and keep us in clothes with a little extra to vacation each year to that place you are lucky enough to call home!
I agree about wishing I had found transcription when my children were younger. I love what I do and am fortunate enough to be good at it and work for someone that has enough work to keep me busy.
If someone is struggling, I will be the first to lend a hand, but to rant and rave about how MOST women don't need to work is just plain BS.
Thanks very much for this. Very well done and very much appreciated. nm

Help appreciated

Help appreciated
Hope somebody would reply to my post for current info on Transcend soon.
Help appreciated
I did search the archives, but could not find any current info on Transcend. It all dates back to 2004,2005. Need some recent info. Thanks.
these are really appreciated
Nm
Any comments appreciated.
....
You are greatly appreciated!
And I take it you are happy there?
Your assistance is most appreciated
Thank you!
DSG? Any info is appreciated.
nm
Your info is much appreciated!..sm
I know what you mean about getting nervous when no work is available, I am the same way! The company I am with now offered overtime for this past weekend and for the past several weekends (which are my regular days) and I have run out of work on countless occasions. TT sounds great, think I will make the jump. Thanks again for your input.
So, it's just for fun but only serious replies appreciated?
nm
Thanks for the publicity. It's much appreciated.
Happy Holidays.
Any info. appreciated
Anyone working for Gulf Coast Transcription out of Florida?
Greatly appreciated!
Good afternoon!
I have had employee status all my years of dictation but am venturing to IC. For those that have done BOTH, which do you prefer? The pros so far for me as an IC are setting my own schedule and no set times I have to work, just getting my lines in for the day.
As an IC, how are you doing as far as income after you pay your yearly taxes? Does it even out about the same as far as the percentage you pay in taxes as compared to having them taken out for you?
I already found affordable health insurance for me and the family, so no worries there.
Thank you so much for any replies! I'm looking forward to this new-found freedom.
Thanks for the info - appreciated! nm

You are a rarity and you are appreciated!

you would feel appreciated
here I am sure, but you may have to work hours you don't want in order to get your committment met; of course, there are a lot of variables that could affect this.
Thank you, thank you for that much appreciated clue.
we're talking about a perfectly dreadful typing congomeration. Am I right?
Prayers appreciated s/m
Thank you for your prayers. I have some family issues that really need prayers.
TC Transcription. Any info appreciated...
nm.
Any info on Encompass would be appreciated!
I appreciated the positive email, but sm
I just can't believe we didn't even get a Happy Holidays email or anything. I'm definitely not complaining, but they have spoiled us in the past and then just nothing this year. I enjoy working for QT and hope things are going to work out for the best! I wish someone from mgmt would respond on this board or in an email!
