7.5-8 cpl -see post below for 9.5 new hire
I don't understand it! Someone else said they were just hired at 9.5 cpl and the production plan was different. If this is MQ's idea of making things more consistent ----- well, I just don't know! They are going to lose A LOT of people at this rate!
Please post your name so recruiters know who to NOT hire.
If you want a company who doesn't care about quality, you must be well aware already that you can't provide any.
Wal-Mart is hiring.
I agree with your post. I hire them too but the co
I just worked for did nto appreciate them. I know they are out there and go that extra mile. I want to find a company who appreciates their MTs and QA staff and who will instead of trying to get them to kill themselves recognize them for what they do and how well they do it. Sick of these companies. They appreciate no one.
There are always those who do nothing and try to make excuses for not being there, but for every 2 there are a good 5 who are hard workers and companies clump everyone together into one category, which just is not fair.
Since when does TransTech hire IC status? You might want to post the correct information. nm

Obviously not what it appears to be...
I was hired as a CMT in early 2005, had a very good account. In early 2007 I started SR along with MT on same account and was given 2 more accounts. We lost my main account last November 2007. I have 5 accounts I do MT and/or SR work on. I am available 7 days a week and will work all hours that work is available, management knows this. The work is still slow and I'm still waiting. This you see is what it is that I do, thank you.
It appears to me that there MAY BE
some MTSOs or their sidekicks posting here a lot and I suspect they MAY use a lot of different monikers (or lack thereof).
the above poster appears to me to be a....nm
I appears you don't transcribe
From your post, I gather that you are either QA or QA/recruiting (and maybe hourly?). I agree that there are some inflated resumes floating around and many MTs do not put out quality work. Neither of these issues is exclusive to American MTs, though. I also agree that many MTs quit a job quickly - I'm guilty of this, as well. There may be a problem with the platform, the interface, the Internet connection, the sound quality, discrepancies in the schedule agreed upon compared to days/hours actually worked, promised percentage of ESL, ability to utilize templates or playouts, workflow, and pay. These are all issues that can't be foreseen until you actually go to work for a company. Experienced MTs discuss as many issues as possible with the recruiter prior to hire and hope that the recruiter is honest/informed enough to provide the information necessary, but often that is not the case. I'm patient with technical problems, as I know they'll be resolved eventually. But, when you encounter ongoing roadblocks to making a decent living and voicing your concerns to your supervisor/their supervisor/the recruiter gets you nowhere, it's time to move on. In my opinion, at that point the company has voided the contract, not me. Your recruiter friend who generally hires twice as many MTs as she needs and ends up holding onto a fourth of them - she's either misstating the conditions of the job or overhiring and starving out the ones who can't afford to sit and wait for something to show up in their queue. Either way, the MT is the one who loses out.
Zylomed is not what it appears for RAD
Worked there within the last six months. Word-based web platform but tons of demographics and training sucked - not a money maker.
It appears their name is a spoof for (sm)
Medi-Sota, a transcription company. I skimmed through the article and found this as a contact.
Preferred Vendor Agreements – 2004 Update:
****Brinker Transcription and Technology Solutions became Medi-Sota’s first preferred vendor for medical transcription services in August of 2004. Contact Karyn Brinker, at 651-257-6360 if you are interested in using this service.
Well it appears that that number has been disconnected.

It Appears Censorship is Alive and Well...
here on the MT boards , as my post in reply in this thread has disappeared.
I've seen the light., but it appears dim.
The light you're shedding though seems to be in the rose-colored form, which only means to me that you have been among the few, fortunate MTs, that do not have to put up with the rat race this industry has turned into. The day you remove your rose-colored glasses just might be the day you see how things are for the majority of the working MTs out here.
I despise fighting for files, running out of work, never knowing if I can/will get enough work to earn a decent check. It shouldn't be this way, but it is.
Congrats on your cushy job and all the best to you, I mean that sincerely, but your situation certainly is not the norm in this industry, especially not today.
Check out some recent ads asking for acute care experience. Take a look at the line rates being offered. Then remind yourself of everything you are required to know in order to perform your job successfully as an MT. Think about that for a few, then come back to this board and tell us all how you would feel if you were placed in a position to be looking for a well-paying job, and do let us know how you would honestly feel.
It appears to do only the document you are in. As I trust my co. to tally for me, I don't know m
about the function. You might be able to write a macro to do that...but I have no idea how to do that.
Webmedx bought TransHealth, but it appears
they are still 2 separate companies for now, still using both names. Webmedx had a couple of ads posted this week or last that said they paid QA hourly, but I don't know their rate. I hated it from day one there but I was an MT. I don' know how it is on the QA end, though several or us complained about QA because we never got feedback and work was bypassing QA and going directly to the client. They have overhired MTs, but have severely underhired QA.
I agree. Bad supervisors are common at Spheris it appears. NM.
dd
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
grammar
Check it out. A company cannot be a "who." Only a person can be a "who."
Grammar
All I can say is  .
I have been transcribing now for 3 years and have never heard a thing about my grammar. I have gotten reports back the past couple of days this week stating: There should be a comma here.. there should be a semicolon there.. you shouldn't have put a period, but a semicolon.. or when I put something as far as a comma where I was told to.. I would get it back stating that it was unnecessary, HUH? Not only that, but I would have a passage from a grammar website pasted on the report that was sent back in e-mail. LOL.
I give credit where credit is due, but seriously...
Now instead of being paranoid about any kind of medical errors-- I am worried about if a comma is in the right place. Nice, huh? Everything that I was corrected on was trivial.
So, while I was sitting there feeling kicked in the gut waiting for my next grammar correction, I found myself looking through samples and reports transcribed by other people and found that the commas that I had on my reports were on other peoples transcriptions, too!
No medical errors, miskakes, misplaced words, missing words, format issues, and I get grilled about a comma.
 I felt like I was back in highschool. 
Seriously, is this normal?? I am thinking about leaving this place. I have never felt so insulted. A comma should be the last thing on their mind..especially when seeing the horrendous mistakes that were sent to clients by other transcriptionists in the database. 
Just needed to vent. Am I wrong to be so irritated about this?
Grammar
 So do you practice what you preach? I noticed in your heading you typed you not your. Or did you type it that way on purpose?
You know some come to this board upset or in a hurry. I know I have. There are times, I am sure, some come to this board dead tired from working all day or putting up with really bad dictators.
Bottom line is that we are all human and humans are not perfect 24/7 365 days out of the year. This is just a place we can let our hair down so to speak. If you don't like it perhaps you can find a board out in cyber space somewhere where all is perfect.
grammar
I would stick to my guns. I don't know how old you are, but I was taught the same things in school and I refuse to change my habits now. They have done that to me as well. It makes absolutely no sense to me either for QA to make corrections like that where they aren't needed. I think that sometimes the QA people just get off on thinking they are better transcriptions than we are. Unless it was some rule by the hospital (which would be insane), I would just keep doing what you do. I DO ! I have never, ever been reprimanded by any of my own clients or any hospital client in this lifetime. Do what you do best, girlfriend !
With grammar like yours
With grammar like yours, I wonder how YOU got and keep YOUR job!
we do not correct anyone's grammar....sm
who needs trolling word police
Grammar and typos
I believe that Goldbird posted the same thing about there being no need to correct people on the board for typos or grammatical errors. There's really no need.
grammar and commas
Yes. grammar and commas are very important and it was one huge issue where I trained. One suggestion, turn on your grammar checker in Word and watch the *green line* appear. It will keep you aware of your comma errors. It is worth the effort to find and correct your mistakes prior to report submission. good luck to you!
Your poor grammar
You are not using proper sentence rules by using a lower case letter to begin a sentence. I truly do not believe you have a simple typo, sorry.
Please do not grammar police here...
Many MTs come to this site to relax and may not have the time or desire to proofread their messages.

Grammar? It's You're not YOUR

Thanks for the 101 grammar lesson ...sm
Gee, it looks like none of us MTs would even know how to spell and punctuate if you QAs weren't around to teach us how. The MTs are paying your salary, for the most part, yet most of you act as though we have to answer to you! We answer to whoever pays our meager salary, and it's not you, baby! You all say you don't have time to look this up to fill in blanks....well, that's what you're paid to do. You don't have the time for this, for that... but the MT is supposed to do all this unpaid work while you're above it. Get off of your high horse!
Excuse my bad grammar, there are
I guessed that after seeing the grammar and
spelling errors in its ad.
GRAMMAR POLICE - sm
Having nothing meaningful to contribute, these immature holier-than-thou self-proclaimied experts need to vent their insecurities by finding fault with something as insignificant as spelling/grammar. Reminds me a lot of a large percentage of QAs -- need to nitpick on something trivial, real or imagined.
I would just tell them to kiss my butt, unless they are also paying my salary - otherwise they should MTOB.

I'm not one to correct grammar
or spelling on a message board, but I do think how one presents themselves on a message board does reflect on the quality of work that a person produces. If a person who needs to know spelling and grammar for their job, cannot produce a quality post on a message board, I would think the quality of their work would reflect the same, and I don't mean a measly typo that can happen to us all, but out and out incorrect spelling and grammar is either laziness or ineptness, which I think also reflects on how well they do their job. Do people not take any pride in how they present themselves? If one wants to be taken seriously, I would think their posts would reflect that.
Grammar is dead.
I wish it were not so, because I'm with you - reading some posts almost makes my eyes bleed. I get such stuff from supervisors, from the owner of my company, from friends and it all drives me nuts! I think the advent of ''instant communication'' has killed thoughtful written expression. Don't U disagree? Nobody takes the time to proofread anymore - just bang out a message, maybe run spellcheck, and hit SEND. Nobody sees the point that there is a difference between the word then and the word than. They now are used interchangeably. Gaaag! There, their, they're; to, too - all the same, right?
And I see, too, that your grammar is as top notch as your spelling!
HAHAHAHAHA
A grammar checker for they're/their?
There is no need to correct anyone's grammar on this board. (NM)

I meant your bad grammar - went back? wow
Good think they have something. They DONT have grammar

Are you American? Your grammar is awful.

Applying the right grammar and spelling
should not be an extra effort. But this only if one is good at it.
What logic is this: Today I am tired, so my grammar and spelling are bad.
I can understand: Today I am tired, so I make a lot of typos.
But some will never understand the difference.
Do you only use correct grammar and spelling
when you are paid for it?
Who cares about punctuation and grammar?
With the doctors using EMR and VR without editing, these things are a thing of the past. Medical records are a mess and nobody cares.
Punctuation and grammar still counts
As much as some may hate taking time to use the correct punctuation and grammar, it is still a part of the medical transcription industry. The ability to decide between correct and incorrect grammar and punctuation separates us from the machines.
BTW, grammar police are not allowed.
Go back to your corner now.
Honestly, think it is PD (recruiter). No grammar skills. BUT it could be Flo
hee...hee...hee
hope your spelling and grammar on work are better than this.

No grammar and spelling/capitalization police please, nm

Following basic grammar is nit-picky? Maybe I misunderstood.
