hahah THEY DONT SHOW UP
ur right she did the work. But basically there is nothing u can do about it until the MTSO grows a conscience and decides to pay.
i don't know if saving your reports to show quality is a good idea
:)
ExText is solely a Dictaphone product. Don't know
s
Lawsuits? YOU are responsible for final product, sm
VR doesn't claim to put out a perfect product and never will.
No, the MTSO is responsible for the final product,
and when they give you a garbage platform and force you to fly through reports to make minimum wage, it's too easy to make mistakes. They know this & don't care, and THEY are responsible for the product they are selling. If your brand new Toyota explodes, you don't sue the assembly guy, you sue Toyota... so bwahaha to the MTSO.
The Dragon 10 product by Nuance is 1000 times better than VR on
escription and dictaphone. It is absolutely amazing. My brother uses it in his office and rarely has to change anything.
I finished
mine in 3 months so it is possible. It all depends on the skills you already have and learning capabilities.
I just finished testing
and I thought the dictators were very clear and easy to transcribe for, but bottom line for me is rate of compensation. I am so tired of being nickel and dimed to death, if you know what I mean. I am tired of giving 120% and getting squat in return. Oh, sorry off topic.
Anyway, I tested and thought it was easy. I hope this helps you.
I just finished. Been working since 6 AM.

Just finished my shift
You probably walk on water also.
My accounts are always busy, never finished
I have more than enough work, if they are over-staffed it must not be on all accounts
when you are finished laughing, pls read
I strongly disagree with you. To say all MTs are highly skilled is to demean the whole group. There are roughly -- very roughly -- two categories of MTs. There are those who do it because they can stay home and breed their chihuahas and herd their babies. Then there are those who absolutely love the field of medicine and work for that reason. I began in-house and never dreamed that I would eventually work from home. The MTs who are willing to research Hiszysrinksigo's syndrome instead of blanking it SHOULD be paid more per line than the puppie brokers.
Just finished with my shift and I made
a little over $147 for the 8 hrs and 15 minutes I worked today, mostly VR and I work at 4 cents a line.
Just finished applying to 35 different jobs
I am so fed up with my current company that I just can't take it anymore! I decided to spend the time I normally would be working to applying to any jobs.
This is the best site to find EVERY transcription company whether they are hiring or not the list is endless and I just copy and paste my resume on the site if they didn't have testing. This is the site http://www.tiptopwebsite.com/websites/index2.php?username=mtjobfind&page=1.
I found it in archives here and it's such a great tool!
I did my best today and put myself out there, I once thought to just get out of MT but I think I'm going to just go all in as I just work when I feel, pretty much PT but now I'm going in headfirst full-time, really going to make the most of this education I paid for, why not!
So here's hoping javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
When I finished with school, I couldn't find a job as an MT..
so I was hired doing billing..it is worth a shot
They offshore, sound quality not great, quality
of work coming back from India is bad and they don't pay enough for editing it.
you spelled quality qualitily maybe that is why you have quality issues.
Sorry, but even spell check misses stuff. You have to at least be able to spell to do this job. Well, you don't have to know English if you are Indian, but us Americans have to spell!
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock
x
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like
x
Quality is quality, and really should have nothing to do with getting new accounts.
MQ isn't scheming against the MTs regarding QA. They just want a quality finished product. Heck, half the slams on this board about MQ are the garbage work the MTs put out. Talk about a no win situation! Getting used to a new account should not lower your quality by any real degree if you are a good MT. Even getting used to new dictators or ESLs. Good MTs still produce quality work, and should not have to fret over QA.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
That is what I say too, don't tell me, show me. nm
No, this just goes to show yet another MT
Pay attention. The OP said she was promised a call on Monday and it is now Wednesday. I don't see where your comments are even close to what the OP is trying to put forth.
Another post a while back stated they received a canned text e-mail. How unprofessional is that? If they want to advertise, then they should respond to all applicants no matter what. Let's be grownups now! 
Sad, isn't it. Just goes to show that
ALL companies are out to pocket profit from MTs anymore. No longer is the watching out for their employees (and I'm talking about all companies, manufacturing, etc., not just TT), but GREED/PROFIT is the name of the game.
Mixing VR with standard transcribing is a process that really cuts the lines, at least in my case. I'm not as flexible as I once was. Different set of rules for straight and VR specifications.
It just goes to show ya...
These people have absolutely no idea what we do, the experience and technique required to do medical documentation/transcription and the superhuman auditory prowess required to translate some of these dictators. Oh we type, so we must be clerical. We I can tell you right now that secretaries make at least $15-20.00/hr now days.
$10.00/hr, please. What an insult. If this is the case to stay in business, I suggest everyone up the food chain cut their salaries by 50%.
You know if we were organized and every MT around the U.S. checked out for 24 hours, think of the havoc! They are soooo lucky that we are not, overseas outsourcing notwithstanding.
P.
250?!! Never heard of that. Most ads show 120-150 lph. nm

Show me the money
All their information is available on their website, www.PhoenixMedCom.com, including their cpl. For me, I'm making more money than I did at the large nationals without all the stress!
Show me the money
it's there for the taking. Help yourself.
You also know if you show up for 8 hours
you get the same pay you were promised. We work Piece Work, backtground noise, ESL, you never know when you step on the pedal what you are going to get. Some people thrive on that, I find I cant' trust it. Some days bat out 1500 lines NO PROBLEM, the next day everything goes wrong and you get 950. There are so many variables in this business, don't compare it to a 9-5 job where you walk in, walk out. I don't mind evolution but I don't trust it right now. And I think most of the people voicing concerns are certainly professional, if not they wouldn't have STUCK WITH IT so long. And we have all been BURNT before. And most places you work UP THE LADDER, you do holidays for years and then move up. I haven't had a raise in this place for 3+ years, not because I am UNPROFESSIONAL (99% QC) but because every year they move me to a new office as they keeping EVOLVING. You get my point????
show me the humor! Show me the humor!
well, blow me down!
Because, you show up to work, sm
put aside that time to do so (as a professional would), and should have the work available. If not, then get paid for your troubles. It's like being on a retainer, you pay to have the person available. Too bad it does not work this way for MTs. Companies have the best of everything. It is the IC who gets ripped off.
Show me the money!!
I am new to medical transcription, and was wondering how long it will take until I can support myself in this profession. The company I am working for pays $0.08 for transcribing, and $0.04 for editing. 99% of the work I do is editing computer generated reports. So I am earning an embarrassing $10.00 per day. This company works with India, so don't know if that plays a part in it or not. Thanks Here it is Monday morning, and they don't have any work for me today.
At least you show you do have a better grasp of the
and I appreciate your sharing that insight. Even on this site less than a year ago, the head of one of the largest offshoring MTSOs posted a message directly to me to begin dialog on this board. The problem was that I never designated myself as the spokesperson for anyone else here on this board and was beaten about the ears rather soundly for being what others considered disrespectful towards him. No one *got* what it was I was saying. He is a board member of AHIMA. He is a millionaire. You would have thought he was god in person the way others thought we should treat him with a higher degree of respect. I don't respect someone advocating the investment of developing land, facilities, training, and employment of more than 5000 Indians and offering some of the lowest pay in the industry in these United States.
There is a small to midsize national that has a nonorganization policy in its employee handbook. That is just one that I know of, and I can predict that will begin to become the norm now that AHIMA and AAMT have gotten federal monies beginning to flow for education and internships for MTs...with the largest interest of these monies going to same said millionaires. They don't want to hear how some of need food stamps, Medicaid and housing subsidies to get by on what we make in today's US-MT-less-than-friendly environment. They blame us, not what they have done. What is even more sad is that we have allowed it to happen by turning blind eyes.
If we want to make an impact and have a voice, each and every US MT needs to be selective about the MTSOs we choice to work for, what our wage should be, the benefits we want and decline to accept what is not acceptable. Unfortunately because we are so splintered, we cannot collectively form a picket line and hold posters and chant. Heck, we can't even do that in the online environment as long as there are MTs who think the millionaires deserve to be treated with respect they have NOT earned - IMHO.
I stand behind what I say, but there is only so much I can do personally. It is up to each US MT and the new MTs coming into this business don't support this philosophy because they don't know what we do – we have to teach those who are willing to listen.

Show me the MONEY ! nm

Just saw a show (can't remember which)
The show was about foreign people with false identities working under Americans' names and social security #s.
Goes to show you they do watch
the posts on here.
No Way! We show horses too
There's no way I would give it up for a job. As you know, it's an addiction. I am willing miss an event now and then, and try to work my schedule around the horse events, but I would not give it up entirely. And to give up your dogs too? I think you'd be miserable.
I think it would be a great way to show MTs
they're on our side. But, I think they get paid for those ads, so they probably get the same amount of $$ regardless of whether the advertiser is offering 6 cpl or 10 cpl. STILL, I agree that it would be nice if they could hit all those 'weeds' on the job board with a little 'Round-Up' once in a while.......
I recently saw a show on TV about Wal-Mart, sm
It was one of those news shows, maybe 20/20. Whatever. It talked about Rubbermaid going down the tubes because of W-M's demands on it, how generations of families worked at one particular factory which essentially supported the town. That was closed, equipment was auctioned off. I'll never forget the expressions on the faces of the men who were watching this happening. It was tragic.
Sorry, this is badly worded, but I need to get back to work.
If you only complaint is QA telling you something different, then show them !!
However, you said the account was too difficult for you. So, I assumed you could not handle it. If the QA dept is incorrect, point it out to them and show them where they are giving you wrong info. Simple as that, if that is really all it is.
What would the control I show you that you can't see on website? (sm)
And do all companies who use Ex-Text block this function? What does it accomplish?
Oops - didn't think my name would show up...
I'm new to these posts and wasn't sure which entry would show up where. Are there instructions on this website about how to sign up?
Don't. A search will show the many reasons why. nm
s
Sorry, the posts on this board show NOTHING about sm
overall happiness within the company. That would be validated by number of MTs leaving - which isn't a lot, as far as I can see. Just because a few people are peevish about a few issues does not mean that it is a bad company. Maybe it is you that is a bad fit, eh?
