I agree, plus this affects people who don't work for
the state of the transcription industry.

Yes, thanks for noticing!
I can't blame anyone for being skeptical, I would be too. It is what it is -- I'm just an MT who works there, and it's a great company which deserves a blatant kudos. They aren't hiring right now to my knowledge, so no benefit meant for me in the post. I'm sure there are other small companies that are just as great, but you never hear about them because their turnover is so low and it's hard to get in the door. Again, I really just hope these smaller companies will not die out before work starts coming back from overseas, if it ever does.

Anyone else going from DQS to ExText and noticing

of your line count off the top to account for headers which is not fair because none of the headers are the same for every facility. It doesn't matter to OSI because they take 17% of your total lines anyway. This is common knowledge to anyone who has ever had a supervisory position at OSI. This is thievery plain and simple and matter of fact I left OSi and went to MedQuist. A lot of people don't like Medquist but I make twice the money that I made at OSI. DQS is a much better program than ExText.

The post was about going from MedQuist to Transtech and making a lower line count. I don't know about them but maybe they do the same thing as OSI but I doubt it or there wouldn't be so many happy employees there. If it doesn't work out for me at MedQuist my next step will be to Transtech. 17% of my work? No thank you.

Have been noticing all the posts for SM
companies that the pay is EXTREMELY low. I can't help but wonder what is going on and where it is going to end. There is no other profession that I can think of where the pay is as low as this one, and yet the knowledge we need to do this job WELL is not exactly easy or is just something anyone can do. It just blows me away that we are being taken for granted in this profession!

Noticing a pattern here
Keystrokes gave you no work and then you just got laid off at another job - all this in a few months. Maybe it is your quality of work??

Or, maybe you were looking for "didn't".. Thanks for noticing that I would have failed the

Anyone else going from DQS to ExText and noticing lines are harder to get? (sm)

Both accounts are about the same difficulty, just find ExText more cumbersome and where I used to do 1200 lines in 6 hours on DQS I now take every bit of 8 hours and sometimes that doesn't do it. Am i just getting slow to learn new things or has anyone else noticed this same thing?

DSGrs...Are you guys noticing the increasing ESLs???
I have been working on 2 accounts for a while. They used to be pretty good accounts. It seems like everyday there are more and more ESL dictators which means I get less and less lines daily.
