I might have some tips/ideas, too, if you want to email me.  I average 220 LPH with WMX.  

My line count woes could also be part of me being worried about my QA score.  I was never graded at the hospital.  The only feedback we got was a doctor or if another MT pulled our work off the printer and saw something.  That was our QA.  At this company, just like others I am sure, they randomly pull your work over a 3-month period and give you a score.  My last score was 98.2 which is passing but I could not help to think if they found 1 more typo, I would have failed. 

Thanks so much for your input and encouragement.  I'll keep plugging along.

I dont' know how good/bad my dictators are....they all seem to need a lot of punctuation inserted and headings moved around.  Sometimes the things that come through make me laugh out loud, so good bonus.  *smiles*

I DO like the platform, but I am hoping in the long run I will maybe possibly be able to get to 400 lines/hour, to compensate for the much lower pay rate.  It does save on the wrists and fingers though, I must say!

I'll keep you updated!

after submitting your resume before you heard from them? 

but I started no later than 2 weeks after all my paperwork was signed and sent in.  So I don't know if they finished the background check before I started or not.  About a month later, I got a notice from the DOT notifying me that they checked my driver's license records, but that's the only info I got back.

I also have to agree with several posts above about the comments about being a hospital employee.  I also was hired as an employee of the hospital, and yes, the process is a little more involved, but it was no more involved than when I was hired for an inhouse position at a local hospital.  It is just the hospital's requirements.  Diskriter did pay for everything and I have no indictation whatsoever they they sold my info to telemarketers. 

The pay is average, but I also agree with the poster above that it is offset by the fact that you are working on only one account, plus the benefits are better than any national out there.   I  am making more $$ than in my 15 years of MTing than I ever have (45K+).    

Oh, another plus is that they do pay an hourly wage for downtime (system problems, no work).  This is also a big plus in my opinion.

Good Luck.        

I need to find a new IC job.  To make a long story short, I work for a very small local company as an IC (just 3 transcriptionists).  I guess the reason why I stay is because it's so flexible.  I can work in the morning, have the afternoons off and then work again in the late evening when my daughters are asleep.  I have 24 hour TAT.   I'm supposed to be paid on the 1st and 15th of every month.  For the last two months instead of the 1st and 15th, I've been getting my paycheck on the 13th and 28th if I'm lucky.  Right now I'm still waiting for my check from the 1st. 

Again, I know I'm crazy to stay, so you don't have to say it for me,  but this is my first IC job and I'm a little scared to leave. 

I guess what I'm asking is do you know of a good company that hires IC that use lines rather than hours or is flexible with hours so I can try to keep my same schedule?  I know there have been a lot of posts in the past about this, but I was hoping for some recent information from someone who works for a good company.

I'm just so frustrated at this point.

Can anyone who works for Transtech tell me how long it took to get your test results? I tested last night and I'm wondering how long before I hear from someone at the company.

Thanks.
