VR is NOT going to be all accounts or all services. It is A wave of the future not THE wave of the
We have a few accounts on VR and some that tried it and did not like it and some that will never go to it for various reasons.
VR works in some settings but not all. I personally think it will take about 25% of the work in MT but the actual numbers from the technology companies say less than 10%.
That is very encouraging.
Here is another thought. If we need twice the number of MTs in the US to do the current volume and numbers increase consistently, and VR makes everyone twice as productive, we will be better equipped to handle transcription in the U.S.
The offshore companies are not as cheap as they used to be. Their rates are climbing slowly but surely. There are also a lot of reports on CNN, CNBC, etc that say that they are running out of workers in India, Pakistan, Phillipines, etc.
I think we will see a swing back to US MTs and back to being a good field to get into. It will just take a little more time. We did not get to this point in a day.
If you're illegal, they'll waive that requirement - LOL

You have to be suspect of this one!
Nothing in the whole thing is unusually great -- the only time we sit up and do something like is when there is a big plus out of the ordinary - seems like we could find this anywhere, lol
Need help with Wave pedal
I am currently using a wave pedal for bayscribe in my one IC job. I have recently been hired for another MT company as an IC who needs me to use Gear player. Does anyone know if my pedal can be programmed for both or will I need a separate pedal? javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
I suspect you are the same poster from sm
yesterday with all the anger and craziness in all your posts. What you just posted is SUPER passive-aggressive. You really do need to get professional help--maybe not with that poster's ex-husband, but with someone.
Typical of mentally ill - they focus on something completely irrelevant when someone asks them to get help.
I suspect you are correct about
not all VR platforms are created equal just like all platforms for straight MT are not created equal. My guess would be that either the platform you mention as being the best will take over the marketplace or the others will manage to get their platforms up to par. Once that happens though I could venture a guess as to what will come next.
Not all accounts are on wave files yet.

Wave of the future, thank MTIA!
What is a keylogger? And how what makes you suspect this?

Makes me suspect an MTSO who wants to
know who may be job hunting, so strongly recommend a disposable e-mail address for reply.
What is KS? If it is who i suspect..let me know and I"ll infomr you.

I you work for my company, which I suspect you might, this seems
account and I am talking for a couple of years, adn did not need to ask for more work. Then slowly the work started being less and less for that particular account, and in fact, 2 of the work types were completely taken out of the pool - OPs that I did and never, never ran low on for one. I have had 7 new ones since October, now it seems to be settling into just 2 or 3 per week. If you want to work, there is no limit to how many you should do. It is confusing though and mistakes are being made I am sure of it, me included.
I suspect you're NOT out of the loop
I suspect you just hit a suspected nail right on the head.

I suspect you hit the nail on the head
Years ago when I entered the field (more than I care to admit), the MT was a commodity. Training programs were few and far between (my hospital was training their own since they couldn't find bodies). Now, not only do we have the Indians and other foreign entities and VR, but we also have MT schools on the back of matchbooks, late night TV commercials, and spam mail in our inboxes. Suddenly, millions of people are doing it which, as we all know, not only limits the work each person can get but also drives down the wage, as those of us who have been here a while can verily attest.
I don't think the MTSOs even staff in particular for TAT. I think that's just a bonus. It's much cheaper to pay two or three people part-time hours than have to pay one person benefits.
question on VR editing, wave of the future ?
it seems that alot of companies are either there or heading in that direction, before I jump ship looking for greener grass and consistent work - anybody truly happy working on their VR program? if I have to get into it, at least I want to get into the right one - can you really double your production? thanks for your response and help
My wave pedal would not work..have 2 under my desk.
Had to buy the compatable pedal for Emdat then ended up hating Emdat....
Companies who transcribe wave files?
Hi. I am looking for a good company who will transcribe medical wave files and return them completed in 24 hours via the internet. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
Guess this is the wave of the future, I cant take this anymore...nm

You must be sufferin from some severe heat wave
lmaoooooooo
Ride the wave, yeee haaaa
Ladies lighten up. You really are taking this all too seriously. Our profession is now one that is taking its last swirl around the toilet bowl before being flushed into the sewer of voice recognition and slave labor. If you can afford it, hang on to your daisy dukes, plug your nose, and ride the wave.
I am sure that she still posts, just under diff name.

No shift diff??
I've ALWAYS gotten a 2nd shift differential in Ohio...wow, that's not fair to U.
Very few. More often a 2nd or 3rd shift diff will

Thank you. What is the pay diff btwn Lvl 3 and 4?

We are SE not IC. Does that make diff for U/E?

I suspect the owner of the MTSO felt
it was a good time to retire. If you Google Transcription Stat and Sausalito (where the MTSO at the root of the whole affair was located--interesting because the office used to be in downtown San Francisco and Sausalito was where Kim lived. Wonder if she was running it out of her home at the time the whole thing went down...), all you get is references to the UCSF affair so I suspect she is no longer in business. Didn't one article say her UCSF work totally dried up after that? That was her main account, as far as I know.
I'm beginning to suspect it's the Xanax Express n/m

MQ charges $50/computer - $15/wave pedal - and rarely have
for you to make 12,000 a pay period.
There are diff Sten-Tels (sm)
I worked for them (the one in Springfield, MA) for about 18 months, up until September. I ended up quitting because there was no work and I could not get anyone, from my account supervisor to HR management, to either a) tell me why the account I was on dried up even though the docs had just opened a second office, or b) get me onto an account that had work, or even c) respond to half my emails (account manager). I did enjoy the work, it was straight typing (the platform I was on, they have 2), and the work was pretty consistent until mid-July. After six weeks of begging, I had to move on. Oh, and the kicker? When I would actually get work, I could tell by the job number that literally 10s of thousands of jobs had moved through the system since the last time I worked. But they couldn't find any jobs for me to do....And don't zing me on QA, please. In the 18 months I was there I only had maybe 5-6 reports come back to be fixed or with notes from the client, and that was early on.
Now, having said that - if they called me and offered me work again under a different account supervisor would I take it? Absolutely.
There are many different Sten-Tels out there, and from what I can tell they are mostly franchises, with the main branch being the one in Springfield. They pay once a month, and the checks were usually delievered via USPS anywhere from actually on the 15th to up to a week later. There were some pay discrepancies a couple of times, but as soon as I mentioned them they were fixed.
Hope that helps.

Transtech does have shift diff's for 2nd, 3rd,
Don't know cost of family insurance.
Axolotl pays a diff.

Got all my terrible towels washed and ready to wave. GO STEELERS!
Actually, that 10% I stated was too low - what is the diff between cpl spaces vs nonspaces?

What do you mean by wkd/diff to line 1 - have to work whole weekend?

I work for 2 diff MT companies and love it
Like you I do not need insurance. I like the differences between the two companies I work for, both have their pros and cons (as any company does),the flexibility is better than being a full-time MT for one company but the flexibility is still limited but it is there...the second company I work for is really really good if you have to flex your schedule...for me changing companies usually was becuase of the hours not working for me, this is a solution that has worked for me for over a year now and I have been a transcriber for 31 years...good luck, do what is best for you!!!
ps with the second company I asked for more money than I was making with the first company and ended up getting what I asked for..GOOD LUCK
I believe OP is referring to DocuMed in NJ (dff spelling, diff co.)

Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.

I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
30 years - this WAS my career. The last few years you guys have ruined it.
You work 9-5? Big deal. I work more than you do. I bet I work harder too. Treat US with respect, lady!
Don't talk to us like that and don't expect us to kiss your feet. Kiss ours for a change!
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
