I wonder if I have a slow internet connection and if that would be what is causing my slowness.

slowness
if so many people are having an issue with this could it be a server on their end or something? Worth looking into I would say.
Slowness is Enough
Slowness issues affect pay and make me lose concentration and get aggravated. That's enough to quit right there. Too many different things to remember on too many different accounts and even those things change on a daily basis. Too many e-mails regarding changes on all the different specifics. I guess that would be no problem for a Transcriptionist who doesn't care about the quality of work produced, but the quality is very important to me. Someone's life could be at stake.
Slowness
I have worked on this program elsewhere and quite often it is the IP provider. It takes a while for the voice to download, or gets stuck completely. Sometimes you have to reboot. Maybe your IP address changed during your shift if you use a Linksys this could slow it down. Again, reboot. Also, if all of that does not work, I usually call the ISP provider to see if there are outages, due to road work, weather, etc. 9 times out of 10 when I experience this it is because of limited connectivity. There are days like that but once in a blue moon. I always document slowness due to ISP or something when that happens to me just in case someone asks why the line drop. etc. Hope today is better! PS: Also internet traffic could be a factor that slows the whole net down. High volume days especially around the holidays when cash registers are going crazy and credit card authorizations. But, even in the middle of the night my connection has been slow, and the IP never ever really explains why.
Enterprise Slowness
Any other Webbers out there spending half or more of their time waiting on screen changes, etc. I'm about to throw this thing out the window. My line counts are suffering!! AND it is only Enterprise. Everything else is plenty fast!
Slowness issue still there for me
Some accounts must be affected differently than others, because its as slow or a little worse for me lately. I guess as long as someone is willing to say the problem is fixed they'll never really fix it.
yeh guess theres a reason for that slowness
I tried that when I worked for them so I could get a line count for each report but Ichart was either unavailable or very very slow, a lag of 2, 3, 4 and even sometimes up to 12 hours, so you can't do it that way. They also told me they didn't have that information available when I confronted them and asked to see that report. I wanted a line count for each and every report. The IChart team told me they certainly do have that information. Glad to be gone!
Just a problem with slowness of the cc list, but (sm)
if I reboot and it keeps happening, I will go to Tech support, not here.
I do at webmedx now that the platform slowness issues are resolved. nm

Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
i-chart
If i-chart is sometimes 12 hours behind, how can you (we) check line count to be sure the daily production is being made? How would you check to see how many lines per hour you are typing? I'm really confused....
Here's a chart...
I've used this chart in the past when comparing pay.

Fast Chart..sm
I am going to test with them. Does anyone have any feedback about Fast Chart? Can one advance up the pay levels quickly, or are you stuck at the horrendously low starting rates? The information they have sent is pretty confusing.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes, on the average, to start making 9cpl with Fast Chart? I just received their pay scale chart and it seems like one has to do an anwful lot of typing just to get up to 9 cpl. Is their platform user-friendly? Thanks for any info you can give me.
fast chart
They start you off at 6 cpl at Level 1 and move you up a level according to your cumulative lines from Day 1 and accurately typing all reports. From the best I can tell their top pay is 9 cpl on all shifts, which is Level 8.
Fast Chart
Anyone working for them currently? Are they a good company? Are QA staff personable and friendly? Do they pay well? TIA.
Fast Chart
I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I couldn't find info. Any info on whether Fast Chart is any good? I submitted a resume but want to know, if I hear from them, if I should take the time to test. Transform too. Anybody heard of them?
Fast Chart
I started 2 weeks ago with Fast Chart and have given my 2-weeks notice. My computer does not like the software and have had problems since starting with different problems daily getting logged on and with the software not saving autotext. Sometimes have ran out of work in the past 2 weeks. Made a whopping 240 bucks the last pay period so I said see ya. Starting a new job tomorrow which is better pay. I'd think twice about this company.
fast chart
thanks for the reply. I have been looking for over a month and really am not sure which way to go. I am currently employed but am searching for better pay and flexibility and the hopes of steady work. Too much to ask for??
Fast Chart
I worked there 2-1/2 weeks and got paid squat, which is why I quit and work for another company now which I love so far. Worked on 4 accounts and couldn't make a thing.
i-chart platform
I am about to become an ex-MQ employee. Would you be interested in sharing where you are starting your new job? I have lost so many lines on DocQscribe, I am about to go broke.
Thank you.
Fast Chart
Worked there for 3 weeks and quit. Low pay for one thing and software was horrible to type in for another.
Fast Chart
Thanks so much. Thank goodness for this board.
Chart in time
Do they have a website, phone, contact information.
Thanks
Fast Chart
Any current info on Fast Chart?
Fast Chart
I asked about any info on Fast Chart. I do not know why my message was deleted.
Fast Chart
Does anyone have any experience with this company? Regarding pay, how long does it take to move through their levels and does anyone know of anyone at a level 8? Thanks!
Fast Chart
In my experience, I worked there about 3 weeks. For one thing, pay was horrible. Secondly, I hated the platform, something was always going wrong with it, so ended up bringing home about 250 bucks per pay period. Needless to say, I have moved to greener pastures.
Fast Chart
I worked for Fast Chart many years ago. I started out at 5 cpl, went up to 7.5 in a short while. Yes, very low pay, especially when I used to much more pay. I had to take the first job that came along until something better came along. Yes, the pay was low. I worked 12 hours per day to bring home about $750 twice monthly. I feel that I won in the end because I walked away with more specialties under my belt, more knowledge, more experience, and took all of this with me when I bailed out. I just did what I had to do...
Fast Chart
Did I read somewhere on this board about Fast Chart's pay scale being $.09/line? Is this correct? Do they have a lot of ESLs? Thanks.
Chart Script
We just migrated off ChartScript - we were so glad to say goodbye ! Doesn't work well for remote MTs, lots of lost reports, slow like molasses ! constantly lost our text inserts/autocorrects - horrible system !
Fast Chart
I used to work for them a short time. They start you at .06 cemts per line, regardless of experience.
Fast Chart
Who cares, that is ONLY what YOU made, but not their norm for starting anyone!!
Do you have to go into I-chart to get counts or (sm)
does control I give you an accurate count.
Fast Chart
Any info on Fast Chart?
Fast Chart
Hi, Is Fast Chart a good company to work for? 
Fast Chart, inc.
I am looking into employment with Fast Chart. Did you find anything out?
Fast Chart
Hi. Sorry, no replies to my question.
Fast Chart
Does anybody have any info on Fast Chart? Thanks!
Here's a chart to figure that out-sm
This link has a chart that shows examples and tells how to figure that out.
On this chart, you'd be making about $22 more typing 55 cpl at 0.08 rather than 65 cpl.

Chart Matrix - Pee-U!
It's a slow, cumbersome, clunky DATABASE program with a text Editor feature. It's not a professional word processing platform. It does not come with any type of auto correct for text, so you must buy Shorthand, which is the only program of user-defined abbreviations Chart Matrix will work with. It will slow you down.
chart script
I work with ChartScript and I have hundreds of expanders. They really save a ton of time and the best part is you can print them out too and keep a record of what you have or don't have. I like it. JMO.
Fast Chart
Can anyone give me any information on Fast Chart, good or bad? Paydays, sound quality, do they have direct direct deposit and enough work?
fast chart
I have been with Fast Chart for 10 years and am satisfied. I have found them to have a great support team and the dictators good. Lately work has slumped a little, but I still get my lines. I am considered full-time but can usually get my line count in 20-25 hours per week and make $125 or more per day. No complaints.
fast chart
I have been very satisfied with Fast Chart for over 10 years now - no complaints!
There are 2 platforms here. Ent and Chart sm
I know the Chartmatrix side has tons of rad work. I think this side has a different STM too.
Fast Chart
Anyone with any current info on this company? Do they still pay very low and if so, are you able to make money with them?
TIA
