Axolotol was asked about this week, probably on page
2 by now, go to page 2 and do a ctrl F search.  Good company.
Look down the page. Dozens of posts a week on KS. nm
 
I am new w/ TT and asked that this week as well. sm
QA could not find a way either right off the bat and then said they would get back to me if they found it.  I know they are swamped so either there is not a way or they really were too busy and forgot.  I do a copy but dont add.  I then highlight and copy that into text...takes WAY too long.  I am used to another program and Extext is pretty slow and clunky compared to what I am used to, but I love the 1 account and the co....
I called and asked. There was an email last week. sm
They are making the official announcement next week is what I was told.
They asked me to work OT every week, NEVER paid
any OT, did not get raise after 90 days.  They said I would but it never happened. 
I asked a similar question last week and got one positive ....
reply further down the board.  I actually think it is on page 2 by now.  I'd love it if you'd post back your experience with them.  Good luck! 
Exact question asked last week. Read old posts.
 
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

Some comments on page 2 of this board, middle of the page. nm

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX.   I wouldn't call them a small national.  
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Some WMX posts on page 4 here near the top of the page. nm

Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)

Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come.  I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it.  We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week.  Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
I don't see that on their web page
nm
Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page

To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc.  You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference.  Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines,  as they could both be half a page?   That is just my opinion though.   Could work in your favor and could not.  If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.


 


 


 


I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page
/
pay per page
typo
Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....

Keystrokes is really popular right now. 


you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies.  Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line?  If so, could you please email me.  Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.
z
On what page are they? If they are there, I will
x
Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.

I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.

It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us.  I fail to see  how some people can stick their head so far in the sand. 
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.

P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding!  What an insult!
$1.00 per page

Yes, I thought it was very low, too.  And she pointed out that you make the $1.00 page if you are very good.  I thought that was hilarious.  It was like she meant to convey that only the very top transcriptionists could ever hope to attain that job with such an exhorbitant amount of money as $1.00 per page!  I had to hang up quickly before I laughed out loud!  No hard feelings with them, though, and I wasn't all that insulted.  I wish them well.  They just don't have clue about how to hire quality transcriptionists and pay them well.  Of course, that problem is a common one in this industry, but they just seem to have even less of a clue than most companies about paying us properly for quality work.

look down the page

look down the page, much ado about something....

There's no such thing on the web page

pay by page vs line
Hmmm...I work by line and I pull in over $4000 per month.  I'd hardly call that no money. 
Don't you have to go to NJ to train? And pay was only 1.75 per page. nm
