You know what I get with your formula for 750 lph on VR,
is a get a vision of a really recklessly and speedily edited reports. Nobody could or should run that at highest speed on all reports constantly- or whatever it is you do to make that lph that consistently. I use eScription too and have for the past 7 years, no way can you accurately edit at that speed regardless of how good the dictators are, how well the VR comes up or what platform you are on.
I don't know their exact formula but
I do know that some national companies only check the reports that are sent to QA once they have cleared an MT to transcribe without every report being checked. Long ago when I worked in a hospital they selected random reports done through the month and did QA on only those reports. Someone else could help you out better with that, I'm sure.
I think if I had worked with those MTs and they still weren't thinking for themselves, I'd get rid of them and find someone who will. Have you considered looking for MTs at this board or another MT board? That would involve using wav files so long distance MTs could access the dictation over the internet, but when I have to expand beyond my local trusted MTs I plan to look on the MT boards. There are a lot of good MTs out there, and a lot of not so good ones. You just gotta find the good ones!
formula for check sent for errors on DQS
did anyone from MQ call to ask how their check amount for the errors in calculations on DQS work was derived at? i sent an email to the payroll dept in our region when I first got the check and she responded by telling me that she had sent it on to corporate and that they would get back to her on how to handle this. i get a call today from corporate and i was given an incomplete explanation -- IMAGINE THAT!! I was told that the average that they had obtained after taking a sampling of reports and coming up with the average was not going to be furnished by MQ to the MT. i requested from that person to find out for me why. it's my money and i want to be able to see how they came up with that figure. Why shouldn't I be able to have that info as it pertains to me and my money so that I can take my own number of lines and multiply it and come with hopefully the same figure. Need I explain that?? oh, and i was told that I was the only MT that had requested that information -- that all the other MTs who had questions about the check were satisfied with the answers that were told them. i told this person that i was tired of being told that I "was the only one" who had the problem and that no one else had brought it up. they try to make you feel like you're the only who has brought up such a thing and act like you're being out of line for doing so.
line count - formula???
Starting a new account that handles line count differently. What is the formula used to figure a 65-character line count with spaces? I realize that there is some difference than the actual characters per document if you divide it by 65-character line. Any specific formula? Any help is appreciated.
LINE COUNT FORMULA?????
Is there any set formula used for counting lines? I am starting a new account that pays 65-character line with spaces, includes headers and footers, margins, etc. It is in a word document, so wondering what formula/equation, if there is one, to use?
ahhh yes (yawn) the "downtime rate". Try to figure out THAT formula!
2 hog prints will be equal or less than your monthly salary x 2 eyelashes and a pimple = downtime rate. What?! you don't understand? Well, just wait for the check. No, we have nothing in writing for that formula.
I'm fairly new to KS, but I know they are adding
2 new accounts by February, so there should be lots of work. The account I am on is fairly new and still working out all the kinks, but right now there is a lot of work available on it too, so you might want to talk to your lead or Lee and ask for more work.
Adding a question to yours...
do they pay hourly or by the line for QA?
Sorry. I was just adding to the insults.
I was also offering my own experience with my particular company. He was pointing out the expenses of the MTSOs and I was pointing out the growing expenses of the MT. In other words, I was sharing my viewpoint as well.
...all this "stuff" should be in there. I keep adding to it as changes are made, etc. nm

If you try adding more than one time the ESP screen
will be behind your other screens. If you minimize them you will see it.
are you adding your names/addresses into
your abbreviation file so you don't have to look up the same name/address twice? That is what I do. With an MD with multiple locations, I will name it something like SmithDown for Dr. Smith, Downtown or JonesLake for Dr. Jones at Lake Forest. You would still have to cut and paste some in the cc field or you might ask operations if there is a way to build a spreadsheet document and add to it as you come across new names/addresses.
Adding, you do have to work the shift SM
you commit to. If you are wanting flexibility as far as being able to leave in the middle of a shift and make up the time later, you would have to negotiate a split shift with them in the beginning and see if they would go for that. As far as my experience goes, I did 8 hours with a lunch break and turned in 40 hours per week. I'm sure if there was an emergency I could have flexed my time for 1 day but if you need flex time every day for picking up kids, etc. you should mention that in the interview and see if they can accommodate. Once you commit to a schedule it is difficult to get it changed.
Awesome! Thanks for adding to the list!
Really appreciated!
Adding insult to injury
My coffee cup came apart in the dishwater today.
Yes, still hiring. They are adding two more hospitals before the end of the year and are looking
for like another 30 or 40 MTs.
...and perhaps adding a statement to contract before signing
outlining course of action (fines, etc.)in the event. If they have a problem with that - well...
Why is it we do not have our own contracts to present to companies? Two areas of concern - guarenteed work and failure to pay.
Excel logs and adding up job lengths (sm)
This is for the MTs who have to keep an Excel log for jobs and need to add up the minutes transcribed at the end of the day.
I've done some footwork today and discovered a Microsoft page which tells you how to enter times into cells: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266691
I haven't figured how to automate it, but basically Excel recognizes minutes and hours if entered in the following format: hh:mm:ss. So if you have a 5 minute 12 second job, you would enter 00:05:12 in that cell. Then at the end of the day you enter the formula =Sum and the cell range (the link gives specific example) and it adds up your minutes and seconds automatically for you.
I thought I'd share. I've been adding my account by hand because I didn't know how to sum with minutes and seconds till now.
Line padding. adding extra words.

We will be adding that feature back, we are just in transition of migrating over to our newer
version of the forum software. We appreciate your patience.
I wonder what the quality of the work is like adding all those people to accounts. I agree. They
will lose accounts this way and MTs will move on. No one is going to sit around and make no money and then have QA breathing down your neck when you are thrown into all these accounts. So no one listens in New York. What is the problem with them.
What I read was that they opened a center in India BUT were adding work for them and keeping their
domestic work force as well.
