Not a good deal there! sm
You will be doing all different dictators and jumping back and forth from account to account with different formats. You have to format headers/footers and they are all different for each dictator. I tried it for 2 days and the owner sent me a picture of himself. How weird is that?!!! Kinda out there.........
Good deal.

Paid every other Monday. Mine is usually in the bank on Saturday. nm

Spheris...not a good deal!
I can tell you this, even if I COULD transcribe 200 lines per hour, which allows no time to look anything up, there's not enough work! I've been there for not quite 3 weeks, and since being turned loose on production pay only, EVERY SINGLE DAY, the account I work on runs out of work. There's not enough work for me to make enough money!
Accupro actually looks like a good deal
even if they require hours for IC. Any information on ths company?
good deal for THEM. NOPE NOT ME
I have seen ads for 2.5, 3, 4. I would not take. When they say editor, don't confuse this with QA. It is simply voice recognition and you sit and unscramble, delete out, retype in, put in caps and periods and take out where they were put in by the machine.
IF you do 400 lines an hour THAT IS listen through and correct it at 4 cents a line....I would say pretty hard to listen through that much and correct in an hour but maybe you like it.
Times past, was a good deal...now
Today we get the short crud/fast talkers/accents from who knows where... so 1:00 a minute is not good at all...BUT with all the changes in the way the software counts for us... if you would have a GREAT dictator (not) would be an OK deal...
This sounds like a pretty good deal, especially if....sm
you are making $$. You can always contribute to an IRA that will be tax deductible at end of year. Sometimes going to a company for the benefits doesn't pay off - ask me: I tried it twice in the past month, only to quit both jobs after about 1 payroll period as it became obvious that they either didn't know how to do payroll correctly, or that the lines weren't correct (even though they claimed to pay for hdrs/footers/spaces etc!).
I would sure like to know where you work - I'm an EXText-er myself and want just PT. Care to share???? Thanks!!
It was a good deal 15 years ago if you could live with
nm
Maybe if this deal loses clients, I can work out an at-home deal with one of my current accounts.
Or else get a McJob at McDonald's flipping McBurgers....
A good friend of mine
who has been an MT for 30+ years had to quit Trans Tech because she was not making enough to pay her mortgage.
Mine is good, but there seems to be a lot of commotion

Mine's a good balance
If an account is going out of TAT, I'll have an email pop into my cue. If not, it's pretty much minimal contact.
On the other hand, I have a supervisor who is great about just randomly emailing to ask how I am, if I'm still enjoying my account, and asking how everything is going.
It's a nice personal touch I really appreciate.
Everyone has a different definition of good money. Mine is 50K or more.

Mine through them is Blue Cross PPO. Very good coverage.
I don't know if they offer other options or not.
Good Company, but yes very strict supervisor or mine was anyway! As long as you meet the deadline
you are safe! They were strict when I was with them though
Paid on time, but not good.
;;
Good Luck Getting Paid
LOL!
Also 6 paid holidays, good ...
incentive pay, great supervisors. As a single, i pay $83 per pay period for the BC/BS, dental, vision. I haven't had a problem with not enough work. There are a lot of ESL dictators though.
Still need help on figuring what would be a good cpl if paid w/o spaces.
See my first message above. Thanks
Absolutely! I had a good hospital job that paid okay but -(sm)
left it cuz they wouldn't let me work from home. And unfortunately most of the services are located in states with lower cost of living, thus lower pay. I live in an expensive state, and should be able to make a wage that reflects the cost of living HERE.... not in the Middle of Nowhere, USA.
I don't know why hospitals haven't figured that out... they could have full-time, QUALITY local MTs, without the cost of housing them. Yet they'd still be available to come in to the facility when needed.
I make far more money on VR. I also get paid a good SM
line rate for it, so that helps. I am paid 7 cpl for VR.
Anyone have a good average for getting paid by the minute?
I have never worked this way so what is a good rate for cents/audio minute?
Not a good way to get paid, plenty of the better companies pay hourly.

Their web site says you get paid when the client pays them ... not good. nm
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

TT has paid maternity leave? Sounds too good to be true..
Just wondering if anyone has used this paid maternity benefit? Is there a catch? This is such a rare benefit now days it just seems too good to be true.
This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm

Well, call a lawyer then. A good one. You could even get court costs paid by your employer probabl

I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port. I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like. I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it.
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm

Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Okay, here's the deal...
I am a Transcender myself. I have just put in my notice, but in hindsight, wondered if I was being fair. I was becoming disillusioned about certain things and could not decide if it was just my perception and if I was the only one who noticed or if I was doing something wrong that I wasn't getting the same benefits as some others and wanted to know what others thought.
I think what I've come up with here is that it is a combination of both - that at times, I put all I had into it and didn't get much in return and at times, I could've put in more. Live and learn, I guess.
I was up the next day. It's not that big of a deal.
I don't know where you were going with this post, "In the know," as it's hard to tell if you're commiserating, bashing V, or accusing her of something. Sounds like maybe this is something between the two of you given the tone, but I'm going to post this anyway.
Dunno why. Hope you're both on good terms!
Here is the deal
The work load is down tremendously which in turn is causing the transcriptionists to have lower than normal line counts. I do wish you luck making the 2000 lines per day, but honestly I don't know if that will happen. Be cautious if they "promise" that work will never run out. I think we all have been told that at one time or another. Other than the lack of work right now, Medquist is a really nice company to work for. I just hope the work load situation is temporary!
Oh big deal!
Hey, we got CHAPSTICK for Christmas! ROFL - seriously, congrats on sticking it out - U deserve the best, as do we all in this profession!
What is the big deal
They are asking you to pull a small 30 minutes a weekend, is that so bad? I too am enjoying the slower time after so much work - most companies require everyone to work an 8 hour shift Saturday or Sunday, as does QT for the newer hires, you should be happy it is only 30 minutes you are asked to do!!
Here's the deal.
The first time I ever emailed them for more work, no one got back to me for 12 hours, by which time the point was moot. On subsequent occasions when I have been out of work or low and they are broadcasting for help on other accounts, I help out but then end up getting stuck on that account and NEVER any of the good dictators -- all the crap. So, anyway, now I just flex and hope to hit a run of the dictators I can understand every now and then.
big deal,.....
so, you are one person who LOVED them. I did not have any problem getting their quota, but I did not like the management's snobby and uppity-type treatment day in, and day out. Tech people were good, but the rest absolutely SUCKED.
MQ, now there is something to write home about. I never worked for them, but my friend does, and does not like them, but she stays with them because she is in her 60s.
one raw deal i see here is this
anyone in the world can post and name a company, say anything they want. person could be a teenager just out carrying on, a disgruntled mt, an employee of a competitor ... ANY PERSON say ANYTHING and NAME a company but companies sure don't hvae the right to name problem employees do they?
i think fair is fair: if companies can be named, so should people but no more anonymous situations. gotta name yourself. lol
that would cut a lot of this garbage out.
My deal
With Focus, it seemed to me that they let the subcontracted companies take precedence over actual Focus employees. They get the work - like today as an example - I have no work to type, because it was given to the subcontractors. That is my reason for seeking a second company to supplement my income. On Focus pay right now with no work and the subcontracted companies TAKING WORK OUT OF MY QUEUE WHEN IT IS DOWNLOADED FOR ME TO TYPE...you get the picture.
I believe it is a done deal. (nm)
.
what's the deal
They acted like they needed help but won't contact anybody
that's the deal..
Yep, it looks like the only choice is to suck it up or switch jobs. Truth it, there are so many awful surprises at new jobs these days that I'd rather just suck it up than switch jobs. But, I did want to make an earnest effort to find out the truth if it is out there for the finding. I'm weird that way; I like to actually KNOW when I'm being lied to..and worse. It's totally up to me as to whether I let them do it to me. right?
Get this deal......sm
I was just recently hired by a company, sent in all my new-hire paper work, given a start date and then never heard from them again. It just so happened that I ran my free credit report and noticed the company had checked my credit. My credit is shot to say the least mostly due to this job and its fluctuations in pay. I pay the bills when I can pretty much, but I always pay them. I was shocked at my score, but I still can't believe they didn't have the courtesy to let me know that they decided against giving me the job because of my bad credit. Just never heard from them again. Very disappointing, and given the fact that they have all my stuff, SS#, license, W4, signatures, etc., this somehow doesn't even sound legal to me. But even if it is legal, shouldn't you contact me and let me know you are not giving me the job and have destroyed my paperwork or something!! Does this sound like a recruiter doing her job properly?
What is the big deal?
