I'll bet they lost the acount and scrambling to find

I also have lost a lot of lines when we switched to DQS. SM
It seems like everyone else loves it and makes big lines but I haven't had that experience at all. I think it bites in a big way.
Yep I have been using the guidelines also and lost a lot of lines and now ME loss and what next.
Who knows but it will be less for sure or something that we will all be fighting for that line incentive every day and everyone will be running out of work. Yes, I am looking also and upgrading all my equipment to go part time with someone else if this looks really bad with THE PACKAGE.
I went through this. It is a big difference. I lost about 30 to 40% of my lines w/no spaces.
Plus make sure your Expanders and normals (personal ones too) are included in the line count. I spent a couple of years realizing that I could not get over 1K lines a day and I always did around 2K. Thought I was losing my mind until I found out it was the no space thing. For me, it is better morale to see the bigger number, that is with spaces. LOL.
Pay? Support? Platform? Accounts?
I have not seen any real specifics, but I understand about wanting to inform prospective employees and share your dislikes. I am being asked to submit a schedule at the interview when I don't know a tootin' thing about what I'd be getting into.
Nice company, but they use the DocQScribe software that MQ uses. Lost too many lines with it, so
s
LOL. What teeth? Lost them when I couldn't get full time lines
Just gumming whatever I can! LOL.
What kind of platform does People Support use?

Platform and support so bad, I left after few weeks.

Support very slow, had to train myself on platform. Trainer kept

EDiX ...hated the platform, absent mgmt, no support.
........................................
I work on a great platform, have good QA support and make
a lot more than 8 cpl. I even have GREAT benefits, which are more than affordable. There are good companies out there that pays for experience!!!!
No support, basically taught myself the platform, which is semi complicated. Rushed me thru

I do virtually 100% ESL and
I have no problem making those line counts. Like anything else it takes time to get used to them, albeit, perhaps a little longer, but once you get a couple of the difficult ones, they are all the same.
Nonexistent, in too many cases.
Thank you. I'll try and look into that platform.
I've heard good things about Transtech in regards to flexibility. Thanks again.
If you ask for more lines, they'll work with you (NM)
:D
Cameras are virtually everywhere - fact.
Not just on EZ pass. They are virtually in every building you enter, and littered throughout cities on roadways.
All spying done under the guise of keep you/us safe. What a joke. As if practically undressing before boarding a plane has done anything but make a scared public more paranoid.
I second Escription. It's the easiest platform you'll ever try. There is no VPN to log into, n
extra screens. You just log on the system, hit a button to get your job, type it and hit the upload and it is gone. Nothing else to do. I have used too many systems where you have to log into multiple screens etc.. before you can even get started. To me, Escription is way more productive. You will not have a lot of time wasted. JMO.
maybe you'll get on a decent platform/account
nm
From a 5/06 post, 8 cpl up to 1800 lines a day!!! Then you'll get 8.5. Not for this turtle
s
Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,
x
Yes, it comes with Stedman's built in. You'll love the platform, it's
the easiest I have worked with.
Wouldn't do it. You'll end up with lines that are in the 70 and 80 chars. long length. They

I had the same experience. Horrible account, nonexistent communication. What's wrong with these
nm
if easy platform and few ESLs, you'll do okay with same doctors daily.

They are experiencing probs sm
Have had probs all morning and finally gave up. Not sure when it will be working properly again
Transcend probs
Has anyone gotten any experience with working with Transcend? I think I have made a big mistake. I had a training class on Monday. Could not finish it because they did not download the software onto my pc correctly. So had to wait until tech support called me and fixed that. Trainer told me to call her once it was fixed. I have called and emailed multiple times and still have not talked with her. She just keeps blowing me off. I do not know what I am supposed to be doing right now. I decided to try and log on last night and complete some reports and guess what? NO WORK. That is why I took this job b/c I thought they were going to have loads of work. This is why I left my last company. What would you guys do? Would you go ahead and be looking again for another job? I just want to get a job with a company who will keep me busy. Why do these companies lie like they do? The recruiter promises you a bed of roses and then once you get on, you are ignored, there is no work to complete....I am just sooo sick and frustrated with this crap. 
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
line counts, other probs..
I am new with TT - have only worked about 25 hours so far and am up to 200 lph as of my work tonight...it is always slow in the beginning...I am also losing time because I am adding new shortcuts as I get familar with the dictators pet phrases... but it will pay dividends in the future...I love it so far and see no problems...I think if you are working on dictaphone the drag from the real time slows you down a little and makes it seem like you are working harder...but dictaphone is notorious for that...I have checked their line rates with every counter I know...and they are if anything higher than what the counters I trust show...
glad you had no probs with paychecks sm
last summer (two months - 4 invoices) I got ... zip. Endless e-mails, leaving voice messages, etc., FINALLY got everything caught up only to be told they were late because she was out of town?! Again, you are lucky; my experience was otherwise.
Sure, have lost patience, never lost sense of acting
x
NO probs for me except when I push on wrong pedal and can't figure out why no one is speaking, lo
:l
I had sound quality and software probs with them and didn't stay, either. nm

QT lost jobs lost dreams
webmedx is hiring but they may already have enough people, I got a job there last week. No matter what kind of bull you are hearing from management or otherwise is a lie. The account is gone, please look for new jobs
Old posts say improper line counting and not paying for spaces were SOME of the probs. nm

try transriptiongear.com's tech support. They do gearplayer tech support whereever you bought yo
transcriptiongear.com
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info. Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT. Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially.
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm
x
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
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
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

MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL
On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly - its a nightmare to work in.
Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
