That may be true, but other companies use it. Med-Links for one. nm

• What companies use Bayscribe besides MDI? Thanks! - nm
  • None. Bayscribe was developed by a tech guy - for MDI, is my understanding. nm
    • Etranz uses it too ... it's not exclusive to MDI-MD. nm - Long-Time MT

Please realize fellow MTs that usually an IC works multiple accounts and that can mean multiple MTSOs.  You don't need to put all of your eggs in one basket.  If you are asked to work a set schedule which does not allow you to transcribe for other clients, then that's employee and you should be treated as such.  The IRS expects you to contract with more than one client or vendor; it just plain looks better since we are considered self-employed.

A plumber doesn't always work for the Jones family, they do work for the Smith family and the restaurant down the street, etc., etc.

There is one on the job seeker's board.  Says Transcriptionist needed.  That one is for $25. 

about the company - the VERY TOP of the page - I almost missed it myself.....but there's all kinds of info, FAQs, and contact page for any questions you might have that the website did NOT answer for you.

Geesh, you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make them drink it.

And no, I wasn't the poster of that website - it was your reaction that got me curious and so I went to that website and there is a lot of info there....only at the top of the page of the browser......

that I found for you.  Potential employers are supposed to get written permission to check your credit report and also notify you if adverse action is taken based upon that report, i.e, you not getting the job, and there are penalties if they don't follow procedure. I wonder what they were looking for as pertains to getting an MT job, a lot of information there that not just everybody in the world needs to have, unless they were verifying employment history, SS#, whatever.  My husband has to fill out a form starting last year for government security and has to include all MY info too, which didn't set too well with me, but he said if I want him to have the job I better do it, like they need to know if I'm a security risk for him to take bribes or something, okie doke then....while you're at it, why don't you DO something about offshoring so we can keep decent jobs here....

I post positive about MQ all the time, but I'm not a recruiter, or even management. I'm just a lowly MT like the rest of ya! So, nope, your theory is wrong!

Some people won't be able to edit as fast as they type.  The CEO said that himself in a conference call when he said that high producers in typing WILL NOT be able to produce as much in editing as those who don't do as well in typing.  If a person is typing 350-400 lines per hour now they're taking a pay cut. In all the con calls they've had I haven't heard of anyone being able to produce 600 lines per hour in full editing.  If you're mediocre in typing you should be able to increase your overall line production per pay period, but even then unless you're able to increase your overal production by 40%, you're taking a pay cut.

If you don't normally type a high volume per hour, you will definitely increase your production in editing.  If you type 400 lines or more per hour, there is no way that you can edit 750 or 800 lines per hour, yet you will still receive the decreased rate for editing.  For some people who have been on the accounts for years all they had to do was pull in their self-made templates with the jumps programmed in and fill in the information.  With editing, some reports need to be corrected almost entirely or at the very least have full paragraphs that need to be corrected or moved.  The people making 2800 lines per day on editing are only doing minimum editing, which makes for an extremely sloppy report.  Ask some on the Forum about their QA scores in editing.  In a recent conference call people got low QA scores even though they followed all the instructions given to them about not changing certain things in the report that they had been correcting before.  They were told they were over-editing.  So when they stopped doing that their production went up, but then they got low QA scores.  Something has to change.  That means that either QA is going to change and allow sloppiness in the reports or people are going to have to start editing more closely to make sure that these errors are corrected.  That means closer inspection and more editing time.
