You would have to get an employee position that
offers short-term disability to get any money for maternity leave, but it isn't much money, about $150/week.
Found a position where I am an employee, don't have
to punch a clock, higher line rate plus bennies.
sounds more like an employee position, no?
From job board:
Nu Transcription
Hours: Mon-Fri 8AM to 5 PM.
You must be available during these times and meet a 2 to 4 hour STAT for MRI reports only.
24 hour TAT on other.
This is an IC position.
Sounds like an employee position to me
You're being taken for a fool. ICs should all work from a pool. These MTSOs want their cake and eat it too. What you just described sounds like an employee. An IC does not give notice. I've covered for my IC job for people that give no notice when taking off and it's never a problem. I can wake up and not type at all. I can also take off whenever I want, but that doesn't mean I want have work either. I type from a pool.
Is 9cpl a good pay for employee position with benefits?

Nuance is the parent company of Dictaphone. Dictaphone makes ExText.

Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be. Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account. Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
Is the AC a salaried position or hourly? If the position is salaried, there is
no such thing as overtime, at least not at any places I've worked. I've been in salaried positions before and you work until the job is done or delegate it to someone you know will get it done. Only hourly employees are subject to OT pay.

Dictaphone/EXText
EXText is the word processing program which works with MS Word and is marketed by Dictaphone company. Transnet is the voice file player that works along with EXText to play the voice files. Hope that helps. :)

Can anyone who uses this program tell me if there is a way to slow down the voice or speed it up? Thanks for any help.

If a company says they include headers, spaces, etc. in their line count, how can you make certain they are included? Do you copy the report, place in Word and check that way or what? Hope this is not a stupid question. If it is.....sorry. Thanks.
Does DTS use Dictaphone Extext?

ExText is from Dictaphone

they use dictaphone extext
great platform, although I prefer DocQScribe now. If you have lots of oncology experience, you will do well there. The line count in their program is not accurate, so don't be alarmed. Make sure they give you the link to get your accurate line count. Owner is great, but don't know how much one-on-one he has with MT's now. Staff is very nice, but tend not to respond to technical issues which is why I no longer work for them. Good luck!!

Dictaphone ExText avg pay?
I'm wondering what anyone averages using this platform? Just started using it, does not seem as fast as straight typing.
ExText with Dictaphone
question - Many times after entering a document using ExText, I realized I had to leave the computer for a few minutes. I closed out of the ExText document and usually even exit out of VPN Client. Even if it's 30 minutes later, when I return to work, that same document is still sitting there. I process it then and that's fine for me, but it makes me wonder why the documents don't rotate. It seems that it slows time down that they are processed because they just sit there for a long time.
Anyone have any idea why the specific jobs sits there? Does that mean no one else is working so it stays at my computer, or does it mean the document is stuck? How to unstick it? Has that happened to any of you? Your thoughts please. Seems to really slow down turnaround time for the client.
Is this for IC position?

I'm looking for an IC position
with a company that uses ExText as their platform. Does anyone know of such a company? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
IC Position
Hi, can anyone give me the name of a "good" company that is currently hiring IC or statutory status MTs? Any information you could provide would be most helpful. Thanks for your time!
RE: IC Position
Transcend.
Yes there was a position...I was the one who
turned it down and she was hired a month later.

IC position ?
What is your opinions on IC position at $2.00 a page with 1 specialty? TIA
what I don't like about IC position
This is just my personal thought and i'm sure you would have VERY different thoughts on this from other MTs.
When I worked as an IC with 20 hour TAT:
I found that I wasted way more time researching a blank (that I would never come to figure out anyhow), I found myself rechecking things all of the time and relistening to things constantly just because it was there.
I have found out for myself that I could have been way, way, way more productive and making way more on a regular employee schedule. I am done when my schedule is done...none of this all day every day thing...that's what it ended up turning into for me because the client was VERY picky (I'm talking obsessive picky about EVERYTHING) and I had to fine tooth comb everything to the point where it would take me 6-7 hours to get 400 lines in  ... haha, and the kicker is taxes still weren't taken out of that yet...so I bet you can tell what my pays looked like. 
I don't think I will ever go back to TAT work. It works out for some people.. but not for me. If I am going to have to be glued to my computer at some point in the day, I might as well do it on a schedule and get some kind of employee benefits out of it (holiday pay and PTO).
When I figured what I was making doing IC work minus all of the taxes... I was making way less than I am now working 5 and a half hours a day 5 days a week employee status.
I always said I wanted IC work on a TAT..but, to me, there is no benefit to IC work unless you are a busy person and have a lot going on during the day or need really frequent breaks.
Like I said..this isn't the case for everyone..just for me. Just something for you to think about.
5-6 cpl for IC position
They have got to be kidding. This would not even pay for the long distance service they require. Please, tell me someone in the U.S. will not take this position.
I'm looking for PT Ops-only position.
Anyone hiring for ops only.
Position for 12.50
The position is for pasting reports over from one platform to another. No transcription required. Their just hiring clerical people for these positions. This is why it's only $12.50.
IC position
Hi,
I was just wondering if there are any good companies hiring ICs. I work for a national but I need a backup for when there is no work.
Thanks,

I think this is an IC position. nm

DSG - QA position
Can anyone tell me about working for DSG in QA? Are they employee or IC? Do they pay on time? Starting pay? Steady work? Lots of ESLs? Is platform DocQScribe? Thanks for any and all information.
DSG - QA position
I also work at DSG only as an MT (only 2-1/2 months now) and I see where there is limited work on Sun/Mon but those are my scheduled days off. I think the QA girls/maybe 1 guy there are quick to proof your reports for future reference, precise, accurate, intelligent and actually, I'm the one who feels bad when learning new report types in that I have to leave many blanks at times, but never, ever, have I rec'd an email from anyone employed there complaining about my work. Actually, I rec'd one email QA sent to my supee after seeing the same mistake 3 times and wanted it brought to my attention, so I welcome all and any info that helps me become a better and more accurate MT. Pay always correct and on time. I just had a major issue with storms and had to take a scheduled day off to make phone calls and get repairs done, and not one person there emailed me to complain. So far, I also love working for this company and until someone gets nasty with me, I will continue to work for this company. Are you sure you are not just misunderstanding helpful advice versus maybe taking it as criticism instead of them trying to help you become better at your profession? The grass is not always greener on the other side either.
Did you take a position with them? nm
.
Sad that they have been put in the position to have
to deal with all this. Just one more strike against management, with at least one more to come.
I'm exactly in your position as well, but
There have been some recent new hires and I can tell some of my work types are being blocked off to give to the new hires, so I am having to go to a secondary account to get my lines. About a month ago, there was a bad time where a lot of people were not meeting their commitments, so I think they are bringing new people in to get coverage, but now we have too much coverage. I have been seeing this for 2-3 weeks now.
BUT IT IS NOT AN IC POSITION
If TT asks the employee to jump in and help, then they should have to pay OT. If it is because the MT did not make the line count, then that is on the MT.
It is HORRIBLE that a company who hires employees asks them to work when they need help but will not pay OT. They deserve to be turned in.
new position
I'm looking for a part-time position with a good company. Any suggestions?
QC position
Has anyone else out there taken a QC job with Focus recently? Wanna share your experience and/or nightmare? I see they are still hiring, but from the outcome of the training group I was in it looks like they retain their new hires for anywhere from 1 day to 1 week. Any thoughts?
I just took a position too. Hopefully this will be the
answer. Tired of bait and switch. Want to retire somewhere, hope this place is it.
If you took the position because you saw
dollar signs, I guess that makes you greeeeeedy as well, huh?
Sorry but when I took that position
I didn't agree to meet a courier. She's lost 5 girls in the past 4+ months. Two of them worked for her since starting the business. She keeps switching my accounts to cover the people she has lost. Now I see why they left.
There was a QA position just sm
posted on the Job Seeker's board. Unfortunately, starts at 0.03 cpl and then goes to only $11.50 an hour. I think it was for an orthopedic account.
I'm looking for a position where I can do all
Ops, ESLs okay, but want good sound quality, and where I can download work and work offline. It seems every time I take a job like this the company sells out, changes platform, etc. I've found myself in that situation again and I'm really not liking it.
