If you look at previous posts, you are one of the few happy at Amphion.  It is common knowledge that the amount of secretarial work is HUGE and slows down one's production. 

I have transcribed almost 15 years and they were one of my worst experiences.  People that are applying should know exactly what they are getting into.

Like walking in a parade or working in a large circus along with some horses, elephants.  Only now, forced to walk BEHIND these creatures -- shovel or pick up their droppings -- but the horse or pachy is earning TWICE as much as I am. 

Want to compare two companies, please.  Precyse and Medware.  Platform?   Benefits?  Sure appreciate it.

Anybody familiar with Landmark Transcription and the Extext program they use?  Thinking about a change here and would like to know.  They also use Dictaphone and a word based program....I have been on the MQ DQS for so long, I am very unfamiliar with other programs.  Thanks.

Are you able to get as many lines per hour with nuance as you are able to get typing.  About how many lph do you type and about how many using nuance? 

Thanks

what is the starting line count rate for acute care at some of the big nationals? or the range?  How about for radiology or pathology?  Do most have incentive programs and what do they consist of?  If we could put it all together, we would eliminate a lot of posts and maybe have a reference for those of us looking so that we do not waste time, energy and the possibility of being lied to.

Here is what I know:

ETranz - 0.10 per line but my checks keep bouncing when I finally get paid very late.  No incentive.  No direct deposit.

Transolutions - 0.08 per line.  They supply the equipment and computer (or did 2 years ago).  Their system is a dinosaur.  I always got paid on time. 

I don't feel comfortable publishing them here, but email me privately and I will send you a comparison of the old rates and the new rates that obviously proves its a raise.  I'm working tonight but will gladly send it tomorrow to anyone that asks.

Also they sent an email to everyone yesterday stating PTO will be calculated just the same as it was before, based on what you made the prior pay period, bonus and all.

I guess quite a few people that are freaking out about this are going to feel silly in about a month when they are making more money and find out they were wrong.

Can someone give me the average ASR they are doing on hospital accounts?  Webmedx has recently switched to this and I am not sure it is a good move for me.  I currently transcribe between 250 and 300 lph and with ASR implemented and still learning, I am only getting 200 lph with it.  My cpl rate remains the same for another few weeks but then drops to 35% of my normal for any ASR work. ASR will have to do a lot better job or my income will drop dramatically.  Any words of wisdom appreciated.   

About to lose home-based hospital job.  Looking for transcription company.  So many.  They all say the same things...all claim to be great.  Where to start?  Help!

On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly -  its a nightmare to work in. 

and ran out of work constantly.  I have worked on several VR platforms and BeyondText is not the best, but it is not the worst either. 

Every company has good and bad.  Transcend was just not a good fit for me; however, it may be a good fit for you or the next person who comes along.

I love new technology and work on state-of-the-art platforms, the newer the better, so that typewriter theory of yours really does not jive here.

Every company has good and bad, it all depends on the individual MT and what that MT is looking for in a company. 

Good luck to you and if you choose Transcend, I hope it is a good fit for you! 

1.  How do they pay in comparison to other companies?

2.  Can you access reports typed by other people or review the patient's old reports in Bayscribe?

3.  Do they furnish PC and/or charge a fee?

Thanks

then they overstaff your account.  I used to get over 20,000 lines before they overstaffed mine and started playing favorites, with cherry picking taking place.  (And don't say it can't happen, because it can and does right before my eyes all the time.)  I've been struggling to make the minimum to keep my benefits. 

And then they try to tell you how you're going to be making such great money when you go to voice recognition, which is a JOKE for someone who typically transcribes 250-300 lines an hour.

To read this board and find that now the incentive program is discontinued for new employees (who are now hired at a higher rate and given instant PTO) while the rest of us who were hired before November 1 have to scramble to get a higher line count in order to make what the newbies are making and have to wait a year before earning one minute of PTO only provides yet another example of the inequitable way this company operates.

I'm tired of all the games, the insulting of my intelligence with the fiction they invent, and the terrible, terrible program. 

And to all the cheerleaders out there:  Write down all the good things you have to say now, save it in a file, put it on your calendar for 6 months from now and THEN let us all know how you're making out.

As for me, I've found another job.

they use and if they are employee only? Do you have to be full time? Thanks much!!
