Sorry, that should be thinks…fingers too fast today

1.70 regular minute, 2.25 stat per minute. sm
I do all cardiology.
Me thinks you think too much!!
 Thus, the problemo!
SHE thinks she's the only one who knows how!
 who is that unqualified for the position she's in. You're either SD herself or someone she put up to posting this nonsense because she's definitely an approval seeker and would be horrified to know that she wasn't fooling anyone. Keep shoveling. I find it amusing.
Better thinks about it
They don't pay for spaces. They fine you for mistakes. Everyone is mood at that company. Horrible experience working for them. Better think about it.
Nothing yet. Am I the only one who thinks this is odd???
When companies switch insurance plans, they do it months in advance and not keep working on it long after their insurance is canceled.
The OP thinks she is SM
being specifically singled out for bad treatment because she **dares** to question them. Completely ridiculous. I know all of us would like to believe the world revolves around us, but the reality is that an MT that questions my corrections or feedback is barely noticed by me.
Just like MTs, our working conditions have deteriorated over the years and the majority of us have the same priorities as MTs, getting the work out the door and keeping the office off our back.
Me thinks somebody is a bit paranoid.
I've worked other places and I've never done as well as I have at TT. I doubt they pull the bull you state.
For me, I planning on being there until I retire. I think you should back up your info with FACTS, not RUMOR.
Me thinks it isn't the platform...
that causes the problem, but the company you work for that controls how the lilnes are counted!
She thinks she's texting

Me thinks you are not really 'admin.'

What an idiot this person is. Thinks he has all
the answers and really doesn't have any of them. He doesn't know who I am and cannot comment on anything about what transpired when I worked there.
I have absolutely no reason to lie about my experience with SS. It was a horrible place for lots of reasons and I'll tell anyone who asks about the company my experience to spare them the headache. IF my QA scores were down (how could they be I was in QA), if I didn't stick to my schedule, etc. and got fired I would admit that also, but none of it happened - I QUIT and H did beg me to stay. I know it is hard with all his sliminess to believe he could beg, but beg he did.
I know it was not a type and know poster thinks

I hear you. I pay NO attention to how good someone thinks they are.
With all that wonderful experience, if you cannot pull the testing, you have just proven you don't know your own skill level.
I got a call the day I sent my resume and answers in. Maybe you the OP is not all that she thinks s
the positions that had open were not a good match for what she has done. I read her post a few times. It says that her skills do match the opening that she applied for, not that she was a bad Transcriptionist or anything like that. Their question sheet is pretty specific. If she was looking for hours that they did not have available or a type of account that they did not have openings for, that would explain it. At least she heard at all. I applied to at least a dozen companies, many mentioned here often as good or great companies, that never even acknowledged my application or resume. Each experience is obviously different.
Me thinks the 'lady' doth protest too much - nm
So what exactly IS your point, if any, besides the obvious pedantic and self-righteous diatribe?
Me thinks the lady doth protest too much
I do not know All Type or any of the people involved in this but it have been reading along because I am interviewing with them next week. I was very upset by this and scared that I had made the wrong choice. You have made a lot of statements and I was thinking that you were treated unfairly and that I hoped you proved your case in court and maybe make our place in the industry a little stronger. We are the lowest people on the totem pole in every company and we do get kicked around a lot. But you now sound like you had it in for one particular person at your company and have worked very hard to cause problems for that person. I just do not know why you would stay there or even want to go back if you hate this person and she makes you this unhappy with your life and job and she singled you out to cut your pay so drastically. I agree with the other poster who said you have wasted a great deal of time on this and that you should move on and find yourself a better job with a company that is a better fit for you. I think you have gone too far and become far too emotional when you get this dangerously close to slander.

There's only one way to find out if an employer thinks you'd be as suited for a return to this
.
Anyone who thinks it is "okay" and we should "accept" the way society is changing ...sm
is the reason why it is. The ones who just roll over and take it, should be ashamed for not having backbone and standing up to globalization for not standing up for themselves, our country, and our children and their children. This is the reason why we the whole people are losing control of our government and what they control, offshoring, loss of privacy, etc.
Yet, second company thinks it should work and not mess up other platform (sm)
I will feel better when the actual technician sees about loading it. Not that the recruiters don't know their job, just nervous.
I had others report they are using 1 computer for 2 different companies and maybe having to use a second pedal. Let's hope we are lucky.
Hafta laff -- SM thinks she's quite the master of sarcasm.
In case anyone thinks Escription is a good thing!!
This is just the beginning as more and more records are residing on the internet. And when you go into see your doctor, he is more concerned with making his laptop work and inputting info than he is listening to you. My friends are angry about this as they see it more and more. So EMR, internet, etc are more trouble than they are worth and we can only hope we go back to the way it used to be.
That poster thinks this has nothing to do with spirituality or domestic violence.
See below. She says we are in left field suggesting that. So, the words suck it up has nothing to do with how we treat other people or how we choose to be treated, that is just take the beating? Okay, well if I am in left field, and she has typed me in a psych note, I suppose I should suck that up too. Answering here because I wanted her to read above once again so that this poster can put 2 and 2 together, instead of calling me a nut. Thanks for listening.
Transcend really thinks we are stupid and would never know a little line count manipulation.
They picked the wrong people to try that on!!! 
Must be a skinny person who thinks it's that easy. If it were, trust me, we'd all be thin.
No one wants to be overweight, noone what to contemplate surgery, but I think there is a conscious choice to want to live and will do anything to keep doing that with a decent quality of life. It's not always by choice that people are overweight. All I can think of here is ....empathy.. and I applaud anyone who cares enough about living to do whatever it takes, no matter how drastic. For some, it's their last chance to live so spare us all with the Just diet and exercise speech.
per minute
I get paid per minute of dictation. $1.00 to 1.35 per minute. 100-120 minutes in an 8 hour shift is average or 16-20 minutes of dictation per hour.
pay by the minute
I also used to work this way. I worked in house by the hour and we had a quota of dictated minutes we were supposed to meet. Then we started doing it at home and were compensated by the minute. It was awesome! Unfortunately they went with voice recognition and it came to a tragic end. I still miss it. I get paid by the line now and make probably a third less at least than back then. So very sad. Anyone have any idea if this company is hiring for radiology and what they pay per minute? TIA.
minute nor
too heated.
If pay comes out to 1.00, or less per minute is very low...sm
1.25 and up would be good pay per minute... and 200 per day if quite a bit to get through on an average. Good luck!
Pay per minute...
I work for a hospital that pays us per minute of dictation. It is the entire dictation, whether the doc is sitting thinking, talking to someone else in the room or whatever, a 14 minute report is billed as a 14 minute report. The pay scale I make is $1.30 per minute after 450 minutes, under 450 minutes $1.25 per minute. I am sure the hospital itself charges more than that per minute, so I guess it would depend on whether you have your own account or are considering working for a hospital or other company.
Pay per minute...
It is absolutely more lucrative than by the line for me anyway. I almost went bankrupt working for 8 cpl.
More like $1.00 - to 1.25 per minute
Keep in mind the 3 x rule: For every minute of dictation, it takes roughly 3 minutes to transcribe. So if you want to earn $20/hr (example) you have to charge $1.00 per minute. If you factor in even 5 minutes and hour for taxes/interruption/breaks etc., you need to bump it to $1.25 to clear $20/hr.
It says pay is 0.85 per minute.
Seems kind of low to me.
By the minute vs. cpl.......
I was at a meeting the other day where 2 docs were discussing paying their MTs by the minute versus by the line. It was the first I, personally, had heard of such a thing. The more I thought about it, the more appealing it sounded to me to be paid by the minute, particularly after I had to listen to a resident literally eat their way through a 37 minute dictation, which ultimately yielded me only about 62 lines. I was furious! I would have at least been paid for my time on that report had I been paid by the minute to transcribe it. I am sure it all balances out in the end, whether one is paid by the line or the minute, considering some docs fly through their dictation without even taking a breath or bothering to enunciate or structure an intelligent sentence. I would love to hear from any MTs who are, in fact, being paid by the minute.
Pay per minute
I would appreciate information from anyone who is compensated per minute of dictation. Thank you.
$1.00 per minute
I have worked like this before. The operative reports you get will be between 0.9 to 2.0 minutes and there will be 30-40 lines for one report. You will go broke.
minute pay
I once worked for a company that paid by the dictated minute and I really liked it. Seemed like a good way to pay. The company had a pay scale so that the more minutes you typed per week, the more per minute you got. The bottom line, of course, is how much will we be paid per line or per minute. 
That's too low for per-minute pay.
Think about this: A 3-minute report, say you get 1-1/2 to 2 pages. They would pay you $3. There could be 50-80 lines, which at 8 cpl would be $4 to $6.40. A dollar a dictated minute is much too low.
Not at $1/minute.

by the minute...
i do legal by the minute and it generally takes 2 to 3 times the amount of time. So if you get an hour of dictation, it's probably going to take you 2 1/2 to 3 hours to do it, depending on the dictator and sound quality. Could be more, but not usually less than double the time... hope this helps!
per minute pay
Try and figure it out this way....60 minutes of dictation will take apx 3-4 hours typing...so hopefully that will help figure out per hour.
That is low 1.00/minute is even low..
which would be 60.00 for an hour of dictation..
Hey wait a minute....
This all originally started way down below with a positive post about Transcend in answer to a question about the company. Then, the naysayers hop on and start blah blah blahing all over the place. So, I believe the trouble started at your door.
Pay by dictated minute.
What is a reasonable pay for dictated minute? What is reasonable to expect to be transcribed minutes of dictation in 8-hour shift? Anyone know?
Okay, wait a minute
Well, you know, now that I check out my first apology, I see I didnt apologize before to you, just JMO. I thought I had apologized to both of you. So, I am also sorry if I said anything that hurt your feelings. And thank you for your apology also.
Now wait a minute...
I am management remember? not an MT!
Radiology per minute
I get paid per minute and was wondering if anyone could tell me some companies that pay by the dictated minute for radiology and have benefits. I am happy with the amount of money I am making and the company but would really like a job with benefits.
Thanks
