A few corrections? Must be short reports. You are lucky! Thanks for the smile/laugh! nm

No. You are lucky to get your lines in for the day for
half rate VR.
I feel lucky if I get 1100 lines a day. I was doing sm
at least 1500 a day on DocQscribe.
Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,

Incentives? What incentives? Lucky I can get the minimum lines.

Lucky You ... I was not so lucky to work with that platform
Meditech - it was awful. I kept getting promised that my account was going to ChartMatrix, but it never happened and the Meditech system was SO slow. I loved TH, the people, etc. - so if you can get an account that is on ChartMatrix - hop on it. But, avoid the accounts that are on Meditech because I don't think they are EVER going to convert (and I waited quite awhile - couldn't take it any more).
QA corrections
If you think they have you mixed up, cut/copy your work to wordpad and put a job # on them, compare that with your QA corrections and see. Call the supervisor on this. NO one should be nitpicking you, I do not know who work with but good luck, some QAs can be relentless for petty stuff.
corrections...sm
Wether it's 1 QA person or more, keep corrections as references because I notice that even QA have their I'm in the mood to correct/type this today... These references will be your weapons. If this QA person/people will not let up, then I hate to say it, but just play the suck it up game until you get off of QA. It may or may not work for you, but I've played the suck it up game until I was off QA with 2 people and, now, as long as I follow the rules, neither one can tell me anything. I'm hoping someone will have better ideas, but good luck if you chose to go this route.
QA Feedback/Corrections
I am so frustrated.. I am just starting a new job/new account and the QA feedback is ridiculous.. I was an English major and know where my punctuation is supposed to go and the QA people keep removing commas were I know there are supposed to be commas. Also they keep removing The from sentences were I know the doctor said The or That. Like The History and instead they have been correcting it with just History and some other little changes that are driving me nuts. I am afraid that in the future these changes are going to go against me or something. Do I say something to the QA people or do I just let it go? I find it really irritating to be slapped down for something I know to be correct.
Try to question QA's corrections....
then you are certainly remembered who you are and picked on!
No, not when she has all those corrections to battle
Sounds like it's a 'too many cooks' situation for you, too, skunko. At a company as huge as the Q, I'm sure there are dozens of MTs in there and (from what I've heard) many newbies, etc., I'm sure quite a few people are overriding the system and changing what is technically correct, which is creating a lot of the chaos you're conscientious enough to clean up.
With regards to racking it up because Skunko gets 0.5 cpl, nah, she can't clean up if she's having to practically rewrite every report that drops into her cue. That's incredibly time consuming just doing it a couple of times a shift, not to mention if it were practically each and every report.
My sympathies, Skunko...I'd be struggling just like you if every report consisted of damage control!
WHAT? Do you have to email all those corrections to all the MTs...
so basically you are only getting paid for 15 lines if you fill in a blank? Do Focus QA people have to listen to the whole report from top to bottom or just jump to the blank? Our company must listen to the whole report. Why have a blank in paragraph 1, QA fills it in, but there are typos and crap in paragraph 3, 4, and 5? Interesting!
Hello!! Waiting for my corrections on grammer and ain't. (sm)
Sorry to be so petty, but a person tries to help another and this is the kind of crap that goes on.
This is the Holiday season and we should at least during this time of the year show a little compassion and kindness towards our co-workers.
Are the corrections legitimate? If so, maybe you have a few things to learn still..

Corrections: Sorry..'I would NOT call these people SUCKERS.....nm

I have a pretty good list. Any comments/corrections welcome. This is just from
what I have seen over the past few years in terms of growth, size and national accounts.
I put them alphabetical rather than size as I am not 100% on a few. There are 11 instead of 10 too.
This also leaves off a few that only have U.S. Editors with all work done offshore.
If I am missing any, I apologize. These are companies that I have seen at AHIMA, in magazines, on these boards, at AAMT, etc. I am not claiming perfection so I have omitted any, I apologize in advance.

1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a

Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR

Lucky you.
Not OP, been here years and leaving shortly.
lucky you
you guys are lucky to be working. i need a job. just relocated to NC.
if you are really lucky you can

I wish I was that lucky!!! I pay $900/mo

consider yourself lucky
It's better you find out how horrific the communication is now than waste your time getting hired/quitting your other job, and them jerking you around.
Take it from someone who knows EXACTLY where you are coming from.
Well, you must be lucky...sm
Like the poster below, it took me 6 weeks to get my first check. Two weeks worth of work invoiced on the 1st was not paid until the 27th. That is beyond a long wait for 1 paycheck. Also, while I knew I would not be paid for headers/footers working in Extext, I was quite surprised when I got my check and 30% of the total line count was deducted. Considering the headers/footers only accounted for 5 to 6 lines a report, they were ripping people off big time. What excuse could they have for not sending someone a paycheck?
Lucky you!
I just emailed the payroll person to see about why the check I got was wrong and she says she only issues the check and she can't help me with any issues. I just would love a straight answer from someone and for someone to step up and do what is needed.
Your one of the lucky ones
I am no longer an IC for TTS nor will I ever be again or will i EVER refer anybody to her dungeon. LK has a serious problem with favoratism. If you are one of her goody two shoes that she not only pays on time but gives them all the good work, (cuz yes, she does cherry pick herself and give her favorites the good work so they can make more money) then you don't have any problems. Fortunately but yet unfortunately for me, I was one of those people that she Cherry picked for and when I got paid I got paid well, but I can't live on a not knowing when I was going to get paid. This is not a new problem for TTS. This has been ongoing since February of about 2 or 3 years ago, I can't remember what the year was.
There is no doubt that TTS has GREAT accounts, a GREAT platform, and LK does know how to take care of systematic problems, but she doesn't know how to run a business professionally, unless you are one of her favorites!
How lucky you are?
You must not work for a national!
Lucky?!
Your lucky! I worked for On-Point MTs and am owed $1400.00 that I will probably never see because the owner stole all the money her MTs earned...
I have a bounced check from one of the payments I recieved and never recieved payment for that or any of the other work I did for her.
Stay away from On-Point now and in the future. Her name is Bawnie Bartlett and her husband is Aaron Bartlett.
I would say you got very lucky! nm

Lucky you
A lot of us did have problems getting paid. There was not always plenty of work either. Sometimes we did run out.
Lucky you....
My emails are never answered. Maybe I should use your name in my subject line in order to get a reply.
Consider yourself lucky
We still have autumn leaves.
LUCKY!
You are so lucky! I have to drive what I can pay for. You are fortunate to have such a generous husband. :)
Lucky you, we are all not so lucky.

Boy you are lucky! (sm)
I can crank out 500 lines an hour but there's no place I've found that allows me to do that. Sure I can do 1000 lines a day and make $20+ but if I only work 2 hours, 3 max, that's only $60 a day and no where near coming close to making $8000-$9000 a month.
If I could make HALF that a month, I'd shut up and type. I'd be in heaven and I'd never gripe about my life/job/bills again!
I'm lucky if I make that in 6 months. You are definitely NOT the norm and I'd hate for people to think that you're making a normal average salary ... the work pool would be saturated and those of us with 16+ years experience and in a normal crappy MT situation would be even worse off.
I hope you count your blessings every day because there are tons of us who wish we were in your shoes!
Lucky?
Gal! Please don't fall for this. Sounds like a bunch of hype to me. Telling you that you are lucky? This is is the jargon of a company who knows it's an employer's market and, believe me, once they get you, they will use you up and discard you without looking back! You will be using your equipment, financial resources, and knowledge to line their pockets. Run the other way.
and you are lucky she does
If she didn't and took all she could, you might be the one who ends up with nothing. Gee, maybe she should go ahead and take it all.
You don't know how lucky you are
Rudeness is their game.
I just got VERY lucky...
I was responding to multiple ads on the job seekers board and MDI happened to have a position listed. I wasn't hired for that one, though. They actually take the time to read your resume in detail and find a perfect fit for you; in my case, the position they offered me wasn't yet advertised. I consider myself very fortunate.
Be patient when you apply. There is a lengthy telephone screening process and once you start, you are limited to 5 reports per day (yes, their QA program is that thorough). I was on a 5 reports/day limit for the first week or so.
The upside to this approach is that you have time to get very comfortable with their formatting and style, and you can use the extra time to load up your Expander so when they cut you loose, you're ready to hit the ground running.
Good luck to you. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about this company.
You are one lucky...
gal (or guy) to have found something so easily and quickly and that sounds just perfect. I like the 12-hour window.
Consider yourself lucky!
That place is a mess unless you like a company that changes the terms of your contract, schedule, pay, etc. whenever they feel like it and management that can't communicate properly to save their life!
You must have been one of the lucky ones
DIT does not seem to want to pay anyone anymore other than the office personnel. They've given me two NSF paychecks so far, yet told me funds were there and to go ahead and redopsit them. They bounced again. Now they won't even respond to phone calls, emails or messages left. They even profess to be Christians. Well, if they are Christians, then they sure have a seriously warped idea of what Christianity is all about! BEWARE AND DON'T GO THERE.
Right..either she's VERY lucky to just have--sm
a job, or maybe her kids like to eat 3 meals a day..... just as the MTSOs' kids like to do. 
We could only be so lucky.
I hope she gets the help she needs soon.
You are lucky!
It didn't work for me but maybe they have improved it and I need to update. Either way it was a heads up so someone else doesn't go through this hell. I was actually insulted by this employer because I was too stupid to run the equipment; it wasn't the equipment it was the Magic Jack. Anyway, you are lucky if it works for you! :)
lucky
You aren't missing a thing by doing clinic...i did clinic for 16 years after doing acute care for 8...take this and do not look back...the nationals are a nightmare and getting worse. You are so lucky.
you got lucky.......................nm
