Jo, I think you're going to be all right. You have a high sm
QA score and you are increasing your production consistently on a weekly basis. It takes such a long time for an MT to be able to sit down and transcribe whatever comes through the queue and make good money. This is very tough work, and we all learn every day. You have what sounds like great work habits, terrific quality, and a wonderful attitude. You'll do fine.
I don't think we're the ones who need to get off our high horses
We're not the ones who are irritated by a simple question.
DRC if you're capable of high quality work.
DRC (Digital Records Corp.) is a top-of-the line company to work for, if you are capable of doing top-of-the-line work.
Yep, they're definitely up there pretty high on the SUCK list
another evil company
They're probably Indian if you check into how to contact them. nm

Interpro - 'nuff said!!!!!!!!!!
Horrible - dishonest, bait and switch, EVIL
QA is highly over rated anyway.
Wow! Is all I can say to this post. Who wants to be QA? Not me. I'd rather utilize my skills for the entire document, then fix others errors.
Go to their website. They don't pay for headers, footers, special chars. and they're Indian

Low paying offshore-ers. 'Nuff said. nm

Ah pfft. MDI was over-rated anyhoo.

They're the old Lancesoft, have Indian techs, terrible service, and pay issues. Friend was with

I'm high level 4, all acute care, high ESL, many years exp. and highest QA grades...
In case you are wondering...All acute care, all specialties. I request new accounts, and yet they all run out of work...not just during usual slow periods...
I'm original poster and a high level 4 as well with high ESL accts, which I've always had...sm
My accts (10+) for the previous 12 years were all in the LA area. I consider ESL at Webmedx easy, even though my WebmedX accts are supposed to be high ESL. ALL of my STMs accounts are low on work--quite low. I've added more accounts. Not helpful if all are low in work. My supervisor at MQ was more helpful than my Webmedx STM.
They are not MT, but general transcription. Pay not very high. at least not as high as MT work.x

Is MDI-MD affiliated with the other
MDI in Florida? It seems that one has an excellent reputation and the other not so good.
our un-MQ affiliated DocQscribe does
I work for a company using DocQscribe, but are in no way associated with MQ. We can very easily access old reports after QA and/or transmission to the hospital -- very helpful.
You DO NOT want to be affiliated with that one! Can you say whack job?

Focus is Indian run and you'll be editing Indian
work, so seriously doubt you'll make a bunch of $$ on editing. 99% of the MTs love KS. If you'll just scroll down the page you'll see dozens of posts about them.
Is TransTech affiliated with Heartland?
nm
No, not affiliated in any way. I work for the one in FL, and they are very good. nm

Isn't their testing site affiliated with
Career Step somehow? I wonder if Focus gets something for people signing up with their school.
Not affiliated at all with Key Strokes - different company all together - www.leeperfect.com - nm

Are you or are you not affiliated with Webmedx? If so, please explain your failure to pay policy sm
as noted in one of the previous postings, for MTs who fail to meet 98% or above. That's not a Webmedx policy, is it? Please post your response here, rather than email.
Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

Go to their Indian website or other Indian websites

I thought ATSI was affiliated with Zylomed..That would be strange, wouldnt it. .
I'd check on that if I were you.
Speaking of CBay, do they still have Elite Global aka Echo affiliated with them? Just wondering..nm

I can speak for AccuSTAT Wisconsin. It's not affiliated to any other AccuSTAT.
I've been with AccuSTAT Wisconsin now for 9 years and I wouldn't work anywhere else. The work is acute care (basic 4), mostly ops and ER work. The work is done thru C-phone or VXP software.
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
I think a lot of the high $$ MTs
produce the lines, but not necessarily the quality. I know lots of MTs who never do any type of proofing before submitting work. I used to work with one high producer, but the quality of her work was horrible. This was several years ago and no spellchecker and no QA. She would never survive in this business now with the error rate she had.
I'm sure there are some quality MTs that can also produce a huge amount of lines because they learn to work smarter and can type like a demon.
you ARE on the high end of
the pay scale and congrads to you!
It is NOT high ESL, no more than

High ESL
I just want to point out that being a Transcriptionist should include learning to deal with ESL dictation. Obviously you should be compensated fairly for that, but the truth is being able to decipher different dictation is what makes us more valuable than a machine.
VERY HIGH ESL when I was there . . .
I struggled to make counts because the dictators were so difficult. I have a lot of experience with ESL, too. I liked her thought she was very nice, but struggled really bad with the ESL load.
high and dry?
What do you mean by high and dry. I know for a fact that you have a lead for this account, a coordinator, LOTS of samples, QA people who are available every shift - and very helpful. That doesn't even make sense. You sound like a disgruntled individual.
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
DRC Insurance very high - sm
I was offered a position with DRC and would have taken it, but family health insurance coverage was something like $900 a month! There is no way I could pay that much and I needed the benefits.
If you are a high producer (400+ lph) do you have to
even after you make your line count at Spheris?
She used to pay by the page and not very high. Don't know about now. nm

I have their insurance now and it is rather high...however, (sm)
they are in the process of changing their benefits package so I'm hoping for something with a lower rate. I have single coverage and pay about $400 a month currently. I'm kind of waiting to see how much the new insurance is going to be.
There is insurance. Some consider it too high but they are getting sm
new insurance that is supposed to be lower in cost but better coverage.
I have the insurance they offer now, which is Unicare, and have no problems with it. I took out the family plan, which cost me $610 a month, but the insurance through my DH's company would have been over $800, so I am not complaining.
Seems to be about right. Not high, but normal. Thx! nm

High turnover.......
I live in New Jersey and this is a not a good company to work for....read the old posts about this company in the Archives. Not a good company....
Very high turnover....
They always keep running the same ad every 3 weeks or so, so that should tell you something about them. I did not like testing for them at all, so I just gave up! Horrible dictators.
This is like in high school where
Why are these companies wanting to have initials for their names? Do they think it will make them more popular? For example, TTS, TT, MQ, KS..... There are others doing the same, and looks like this one that doesn't pay wants to be FST now so they sound more important and fly under the radar as Four Seasons known as a nonpayer. Professional to me equals proper name, and isn't that what the BOS preaches? Let's be professional insteady of like small children with little nicknames that are like baby talk!
High horse
You make some good points but the vast majority of MTs don't apply to your condescending e-mail. Glad I don't work for you. You find some poor employees in any industry, and the few bad apples in the MT business are not the reason work is being sent overseas where the work is even worse quality (but done with a smile - I give you that). Whatever - I will just be glad when this post has moved on to another page.
