FOR LONG TIME MT: generic : Brand.....s/m
No, MTs are NOT supposed to KNOW if a med is generic or brand. HOW COULD WE? We are not doctors and no pharmacists.
How can we know, especially if it is the first time that we encounter this drug?
We have to LOOK it UP, what often takes a lot of time. But we do it. Because we HAVE to know if we have to Cap it or not cap it.
Do you know that Brand drugs are CAPPED, whereas generic are NOT CAPPED??? I suppose not, otherwise YOUR COMMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE DIFFERENT.
As what do you function: As an MTSO, MT or QA??
I hope that the time will come that MTSOs AND QAs will be made OBSOLETE, likewise this AAMT, now AHDI (or whatever), because they cause ONLY CHAOS and MONEY !
YOU OWE US AN APOLOGY!
And you just started on DQS brand new account and make 260 lph. You are extremely amazing but to be
honest I dont believe you.
contact the attorney general in the state she is in and the better business bureau and
call the local newspaper and something like ABC on your side. Put the heavy duty pressure on her.
How long did it take them to contact u?
I took the test over the weekend and am curious to find out how long it took them to contact you. Thanks!
How long for Phoenix to contact you
after you apply with them? I have many years of acute care experience and love doing OPs, and would love to work for them. Haven't heard anything yet, just wondering if they are a bit slow on responding?
How long does Keystrokes take to contact?
I filled out the online application and also e-mailed my resume yesterday. I wasn't expecting anything quick, but I would like to have an estimate on how long it takes to hear back. Do they call or e-mail, and do they have testing online? Thanks for any info.

That wasn't that long ago. Just contact the recruiter again.

If you have been in this business very long
.
you been in this business for a long sm
time too, huh?
MxSecure...how long does it take for them to contact you after you pass test?
I got an email stating that I passed test and they would contact me....just wondering how long I should expect to wait....THANKS!
I, too, have been in this business a long time.
I think the hostility and anger is due to the changes in the industry.
Even if everyone were well paid and benefitted, the anger and disappointment would be there because of the changes going on.
Most hate to do speech recognition work. Many QA are not as good as they should be. Lots of new MTs without the experience are being brought in as the more experienced MTs are phasing out. Offshoring is here now (I don't expect it to ever go away).
Of course, these things all impact our pay, too, which causes lots of frustration and anger.
The changes our business has gone through are not over, in my opinion, and will never be over. Personally, I see that technology will become more widely used and we, as MTs, will have our roles completely revised. It will not be the same job in 2 years as it is today.
I also think we are seeing the cap on pay having already passed us.
JMHO
Did the MT interviewing with Transcript USA make contact yet? Anything good

LET THEM KNOW IT IS BIGGER THAN MT BUSINESS - Make them want to do the research and dig deeper
Give them facts that will blow their mind. MT business and otherwise. According to the web site for the Population Reference Bureau, they claim you can not get an accurate figure on offshored jobs (all jobs). In 2008 they said they could only estimate it to be about 30 MILLION. That is the equivalent to the total population in 3 U.S. states. No concrete and credible figures are documented anywhere. Wonder why? Make the reporter want to start with the MT business and branch out. See if they can come up with a figure cutting Uncle Sam's pay and our jobs.
Do not let anyone tell you this will not do any good. Even if some do not wish to participate, enough voices want to be heard. I myself sent a letter to President Obama. This is posted on the main board. Read it. I sent it to the major newspapers, NY Times, whitehouse.com, Washington Post, 60 Minutes, Forbes Magazine, USA today, etc. Make your guy want to do some investigation into this. Ask him to contact credible sources he may have. Ask for feedback.
Whether this works or not - pat yourself on the back!!! Thank you for 30 Million Plus U.S. Jobs and all the upcoming college graduates. We're all behind you. Share your results.
ALL YOU MTs, GET INVOLVED!! You're not working that much right now anyway. Just send 1 letter to a major newspaper near you. Share it with us.
Because, you IDIOTS, Dictaphone DOES NOT make the business deals. I don't know
where you all get this misinformation and why everybody latches on to it, but they get their own business.
I doubt any business will succeed that bases its profits on screwing their long-term employees. sm
You are not the only one who has worked hard for the company, but it doesn't matter if I like the people or not -- I have to make a living. Your callous disregard for that fact (along with theirs), calling it something like an oversight or human error is a slap in the face to those of us who struggle alone to support a family on a measly 30-40 minutes of dictation a day, coupled with the fact that we were out and out lied to about the shortage of work. How can there be mutual respect in a situation like that?
I am glad you support and care for them, and I hope they never leave you high and dry like they have done the rest of us. I, for one, am done. I don't need the lovey-dovey family talk when it is all a pack of lies. That kind of family I do not need.
I guess I do ... well worth it for business, plus I make tons of LD calls to friends/family. nm

how long to make $$$
How long did it take you to get to your current line count?? I work with a pool of doctors/clinics so it is next to impossible to fully utilize my InstantText expander. I try to cut myself some slack since I've only been doing this for 5 months, but how long does it take to make some decent $$?? Right now, on my absolute BEST days, I average about 110-120 lines per hour and can't seem to break through that. Any ideas or input??
Does "being around here long enough" make one a psychic?
sign or message is in this person's post that makes you know who they are? I would imagine that there are many po'd MTSOs out there. It could be any one of them. I'd be po'd as well if I had to deal with the likes of some of you folks on a daily basis.
resumes do not take that long, especially when you have had only 1 job..make it with your word sm
processor and send.
How long before they make you part-time?
I have had a terrible couple of months. The first time I didn't make my line counts a person from HR emailed me and suggested that I type a bit faster. Gee....why hadn't I thought of that? 
And expect to work long hours but somehow you only make peanuts.
I suspect that they must not pay for spaces, headers, etc.. as you can work all day and somehow you barely have any lines. I smell a rat.. very suspicious to me that you could work so hard and it just never adds up.
Well, I was thinking I couldn't make enough $$ but I truly didn't stay long enough..SM
to really give it a chance. I know that now. I started but got cold feet and went back to my old job. I really liked their benefits, and I'd be willing to give it time, this time, to get more used to the account and system, etc.
I was just wondering if they ever hired anyone back. Thanks for asking and not flamning. :)
Totally unrealistic as long as Indians make it worth their while.

Can you tell us what brand? SM
I have tried many and not found good ones, so I'm asking you. It's worth a try! I'd love to invest in some but have not found any real good ones. Years ago Radio Shack had some awesome ones but they did not seem to have them at this time, mostly just what you can get anywhere. Thanks
BRAND NEW?
I'm wondering why nobody responded to this post. Is the company brand new? Or, so bad that nobody wants to share? Or, does the company forbid any posting here by its employees/ICs?
eMachines is just the brand of computer
It doesn't determine whether your computer would be compatible with a platform or not. Your operating system, word processing software, and browser are the key factors for compatibility with a platform, I believe.
brand versus generic.....
but that's why we have reference materials!! When I started doing the job, I was lucky to FIND the medications!!! (I just started off the street...) Actually, the person that said that was correct, we don't necessarily always KNOW if drugs are generic or brand name, but it is our job to find out and spell/capitalize it correctly. Yes, it's time-consuming but hopefully once you have looked it up a few times, you'll learn it or at least be able to put it in your auto keys!! Well said MyMT!!
Not brand-new info, but recent. (sm)
I think the rate I had there was 8 or 8.5 cents a line, as an IC, which isn't great. The problems I had with them were that they did not use direct deposit for IC's and the checks ALWAYS took at least 15 days to come. They said it was a slow post office. I took the envelope to the post office and they looked at the postmark and said it had only just been mailed 3 days earlier, which means they mailed it 12 days late but would not admit it, nor would they let me have direct deposit or overnight (even though I offered to pay for the overnight service). That was annoying as heck, as it happened every single pay period. The other issue was that they required me to work Sundays, and yet I ran out of work EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY. I was supposed to hit 1100 lines every Sunday and it never ever happened even when I started at 4 a.m. Oh, and when I moved to where there was only satellite internet available, they told me they were compatible with satellite, and they weren't, so I had to find another job fast and they couldn't ever figure out why it wasn't compatible, as their tech was actually just an MT who had taken a computer course. Oy. I liked the work, the supervisors, etc., but it wasn't great. I left almost a year ago and never looked back.
Probably a brand new company. Never mentioned here or "elsewhere" before now. nm

An emachine is just a computer brand. I have one, no problems.
nm
The only time I've seen this, it was a brand new account sm
The whole team had to go on QA and be released one by one. It was time-consuming but I guess the client had demanded it.
A lot of companies are brand new start-ups, so we won't know anything about them. New places open
s
Probably brand new. Lots of new graduates get out there and try to start businesses all the time. nm

Is it proprietary software you guys are using or a "name brand," like ChartScript, etc.? nm

Do you feel better now? !! Business is business, most of it should be confidential. Why post on a

Trying to build his business? He's been in business over 15 years!!!!!! sm
I also had a hard time, nearly impossible actually, getting paid. The owner does this on the side; he is very involved with other things.
If you don't know what is confidential, you have no business being in any business.
This is confidential information and should not be divulged. It is one of the biggest problems a co can have. If you have to ask...well I won't be able to explain it to you
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm
nm
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
Contact RBJ
directory, go to World Wide News, but keep trying. You may have a good fit, and company may or may not shut down, but plz remember her clients are reading this as well. Will the client base be there in a month???
Thanks! Please contact me at:
octobermt@yahoo.com with info.
Thank you. 
If you can get anyone to contact you and
actually hire you and then follow through after that it probably is a good company. I was hired last year but never heard back from anyone and when I would call nobody had an answer for me.
I'm not sure, but I would contact them again as
when I applied, I heard back in less than 24 hours.
