To Happy @ Precyse....

I agree with many points you made.  When I started I was using a MAG card/selectric set up.  I would not still be around if I had not learned long ago to roll with the punches... and there have been plenty of those. 

No, ASR accounts AR not mandatory, but have you been in a work pool lately full of the left overs?  Did they eliminate all other work types from your pool except count-killing diagnostic test reports out the ying-yang and cardiac caths dictated by bottom of the barrel ESLs?  Has your income been cut in half for the past 6 months?  Has your attitude toward your job plummeted from one of passionate enthusiasm to utter dread every time you start your shift?  Do you burst into tears at the drop of a hat when your dictation is beginning to sound like verbals abuse and you still have three hours to go?  Are you being driven into financial ruin by your puny paychecks?  Do you have critical work pool issues that nobody wants to hear about?  Did they send all of your macros to the graveyard?  How would you feel if you found out that your ASR line rate was 15% lower than some of the other MTs?  How much help do you think the training bonus is if the bottom line barely makes it to $70?  By the way, they are not paying a bonus until you average pay is equal to or greater than straight transcription pay.  $100 for the first 2 pay periods and $50 for the last one, that's it.  How appreciated would you feel if you had made 6 passes at 4 different TMs, jump up and down and stand on your head to get some attention on the problem to no avail? 

This is not about the growth of the company, team work, staying on the cutting edge or the cut-throat competitive market.  The issue at hand is self-respect.  If you and I were really colleagues at Precyse (their word, not mine), they would SHARE  the wealth once in a while.  After all, we ARE the ones that are generating their profits. Taking the garbage out is not in my job description.  I earn my living by transcribing medical reports reports.   I do my job and I do it well just like you.  If I didn't, I wouldn't be maintaining 99%+ QA scores on such huge volumes of trash dictation....and they would not continue to throw it my way if they didn't think I put out darn good work.   I am not likely to be weeded out anytime soon at the hand of managment as you and the anonymous mgr seem to think.  In any case, I think you got this backwards.  They are not replacing me.  I'm replacing them and I am having absolutely no problem whatsoever finding work. 

What is the company supposed to do?  They are supposed to pay me a living wage for my 31 years of experience...not insult me by expecting me to double my line count for 0.0464 CPL, when somebody else is getting 6 cpl for grinding out an easier work load.  To be sure, you can bet they are not accepting 50% less money from the accounts for ASR reports.  Why should I?  Why should anybody?  I don't know what you call decent money but there is nothing DECENT about 4-and-1/2 pennies.

Attitude, smattitude.  Show me the money.

Wow, I have to agree with the other posts.  I have NEVER had a late paycheck or a check that was not correct (which is a small miracle--other companies seem to mess up the line count or something).  I've been with Precyse for 3+ years (they are only 5 years old) and love it.  Good pay, good benefits, picked my own schedule, no hassle from my manager, and they let me do my job!  Each MT has to find the company that fits them.  After 22 years in this profession, including in house and at home, I'm glad I found mine!  Good luck to you

I've worked for both these companies.  The platform is Webcorrect (DocQScribe).  I happen to love that platform and I managed 1200 to 1400 lines in 6-7 hours - yes, relatively easy to get.  I did all consultations and ERs (didn't like being stuck in these work types and ended up, after about 4 months, not getting any ERs).  If you didn't like the old Edix management, you probably won't like Precyse.  For the most part, though, other than a couple of snippy QA and supervisors, they're not bad. 

As far as MDI goes, I did voice recognition for them for a few weeks.  The platform  I worked on was Escription - easy.  The problem is, VR doesn't pay well (about half) and it is very possible to spend lots of time on these reports.  Spent about 70% of the time on VR and the rest typing.  These folks seemed unorganized and no one was available.  If you're a self-starter, you'll do fine.

In my opinion, Precyse is the better, more structured company with much better benefits.  The pay is always on time, every other week.  If you don't like DocQScribe (Webcorrect), though, don't go there. 

Good luck to you.  Wish you the best.

Hope this helps.  Email me for any further questions about where I work now. 

Do they pay well? Annual raises?  Do they pay on time?  Do they put you on too many accounts?  Is platform fast enough?  Is their line counting system fair?

Any other comments appreciated.

Thanks

As I said before, each MT has to find a company that fits their needs and schedule.  I've been with Precyse going on 4 years (they are only 6 years old) and love it.  Pay is good, I always have work (of course I work a split shift by choice and there is always work), and have been on the same 2 accounts the whole time.  They do not hold your hand, you have to be independent, but I like that.  I never have PC problems, paycheck problems, or problems achieving my lines.  I love their PTO account and the fact that it adds up so quickly.  I've been doing this a long time and by far this is best national I have worked for thus far. 

That's my 2 cents!

anyone working for Precyse or know anything about them?  thanks

I just called the Precyse telephone number and used the prompts for employment opportunities, and medical transcription.  The automated voice said, Just a minute, please...  Then there was screeching, like a fax machine!  ROFL!

Anybody know a better way to contact them?  I took their on-line test last week, and I just wanted to follow up.

I have looked in the archives.  Awhile back it seemed there were mostly good things to say about them.  Now I see more negative posts.  Is someone reading this who wouldn't mind it if I Email and ask some specifics?  TIA. 

I am thinking about looking into Precyse. Does anyone have any really bad experiences with them such as lack of work etc.? 

To anyone who has applied, how long did it take Precyse to get back with you after you completed the test at mttest.com?  Thanks so much.

I've been with Precyse for almost 4 years and have absolutely no complaints on my end.  If you want to know anything specific, please Email me.  Everyone has an opinion, and I respect that, but the positives with this company far outweigh the negatives (and I've worked for other nationals).
