you just don't discuss pay. Ranges maybe, but not actual pay (sm)

As with every company that I know of, there are big ranges in pay, and it just should not be discussed on a public forum, or actually even with people you know. Not everyone may be offered the same thing and it causes too many problems. Any professional person would know this, no matter what field you are in.

It ranges from
270.00 to 513.00 for family plan every 2 weeks--they have many different options to choose from based on the type of coverage you want. Don't have any other specifics.
Ok, what I see are the same IP ranges for some of these posts where sound quality is
concerned. The same poster claimed that the services VR was released too soon, yet another poster says they are making good money. Someone isn't being fair and it's the person posting the same thing more than once.
That would be something you would have to discuss with them.
I am not sure if all are done the same way and do not want to give out incorrect info.
Did you discuss this at all with them,
especially if you had no way of knowing client specifics and could not get them on your own?? If they were available to you, that might be a different story however.
If you would like to email me, we can discuss more.

Discuss MQ on the MQ board, please. (NM)

Well, so then why do you care if we discuss it again?
?
Why are we allowed to discuss MQ's
pending lawsuits but not KS's? 
We can't discuss it on MT Stars
NM
We can discuss whose behavior is sad
And if you aren't familiar with the word Hades, which gets through the word censors when it's other more common alliteration does not, then perhaps you should read more rather than spend your time on the board star gazing.
I removed it; please do not discuss other websites here. (NM)

We aren't supposed to discuss our pay,
without my name here, please don't email me, I make 9 cents a line inpatient trancsription.
I'd talk to the Nat'l first and discuss what would make that a better job sm
for you. I always try to make things better before making a decision.
The board fills up when MTs try to discuss TT because
management & a couple of cheerleaders, but mostly management I believe, literally freak on every single post rather than just letting the MTs have a discussion. If I owned TT, I would request those few stop acting like that & let the MTs have their own honest discussions on this public board without interference. It's so silly.
Why not just bring up another topic to discuss sm
and let them bicker amongst themelves in the their own threads? Seems a whole lot easier just to start a totally new thread. No one is obligated to read their posts.
That is just silly. People discuss pay all the time.

Posts below don't discuss platform specifics...nm
did you read them?
Still hoping for some information on platform from someone who works there. Thanks.
Yes, you can discuss anything UNTIL it rises to the level of libel.
Do you have any idea the damage some of these vicious and unfounded rumors and innuendos can cause a company? Do you really want to place yourself at that kind of jeopardy? Why should a company sit back and take it? Stating an opinion is one thing, but stating something as a fact when you truly have no idea what you're talking about is another thing. Gimme a break!
I never ever discuss pay of any kind, just not a good idea
because what one person gets paid may not be the same as another and it can cause hurt feelings and problems. I will tell you that the downtime pay is the same as vacation pay - LOL.
Probably getting together to discuss line rate cuts. nm

When is the next actual payday for TT?
I will be starting soon. When does the current pay period end, and then when will the check for this pay period be paid? Is the pay period Monday through Sunday, then it is paid by the following Monday? I will have DD and want to plan my finances this weekend. If I can get a pay date for the next check, I can plan ahead for every two weeks. I forgot to ask the recruiter and don't have my packet yet. Thanks.
not for test, for actual job

Are you an actual DR employee?
Or did they hire you as a hospital employee? I didn't get anything and I was surprised because they sent me something for Thanksgiving. I didn't want to ask my supervisor because I didn't want to sound like I expected something.
It's actual work......
nm
Sorry, actual not actuall. lol n/m.......

Perhaps an actual answer.
Sheesh! Does the sniping never stop!
I don't know if TT is still offering the bonus, but you can easily call and find out. In May 2008 my husband and I bought a Prius, and I asked about the incentive. At that time, they still offered it and we did receive it.
And by the way, we saved nearly $3000 in gas expenses this year driving the hybrid. Yes, gas prices dropped, but we actually drove significantly more miles than the previous year, as my husband drives quite a bit for work.
Regarding some of the spewed responses posted here... geeze, give it a rest! Does anyone think for even a moment before they post something here? There are people who can still afford new cars. And just because someone is buying a new car does not mean they are going deeply into debt or into debt at all. That's their own business. If TT is still offering the incentive, then great! What car a family chooses and how they choose to pay for it is that family's concern and no one else's.
People discuss line rates, yes, but pay, I still say is not professional
nm
please feel free to submit your resume and we can discuss all of the above/below :)

You would think the actual transcription portion, if
That's IF there is one. And a transcription test is more indicative of the kind of work you'll receive. Hellllllooooooooooo!
companies or the actual jobs
Do you mean keep a list of companies that you work for or the jobs you work on. Any company that i get info on i save so that way i have it if i need to find another job.
They are interested in actual time. SM
I switched to them from the Q, and they are a vastly better company. Full-time is 35 hours a week. You do punch a time clock. I don't find them very flexible, but I think that's just my supervisor. I have only been there 6 months, so barely any PTO yet, and my STM (their acronym for supervisor) would not allow me non-paid time off for a non-pleasure trip to help my sister with something very important, so I didn't go. She would have switched me to part-time status had I gone. I am very productive and accurate, so I did not appreciate that. E-mail me for more specific details on bonus structure, etc., if you'd like. They will definitely expect you to work your chosen schedule. If you think you will need time off for any reason within the FIRST YEAR, make sure you tell the recruiter.
That's because it's actual hospital employee and

It may be an actual person who pays, but
they're using a home phone number and personal email address. Their website was extremely amateur and advertising web radio.
Have read that a ByteScribe is more compatible, but no actual
s
More than 1/2 the time you don't get actual facility samples, tho, just
s
Wow, a company with actual ppl and not reasonable facsimilies!
It's nice to know there are still companies out there that give a darn about you. I'm sorry for your losses and very glad you didn't have to worry about HR coming down on you cuz u took 1 minute too long on your time off. Jobs worries can add so much stress to a person's already hectic life.
The actual program behind it is AnyModal Edit, sm
It is hard to make money on anything that uses AnyModal Edit. I went from one company with it, to Transcend who says they use BeyondTXT, but once I got started turned out it was the same program in the background for editing, AnyModal Edit. Don't be fooled, it is very hard to get a good line count with this program. I can straight type 250-300 words per hour easily, but in this program for VR struggle to get 150 lines per hour, you have to edit a lot, this program is awful and it's faster to type most of the reports.
Yes, and actual Word clients in platforms sm
like MedRite XL, Extext and MTWorld and there are a couple of others. Whatever platform Keystrokes uses, it works there too. I didn't know if DocQScribe was one of them.
Testing sound quality has nothing to do with the actual sm
sound quality you get when you work there. Trust me, the sound quality is absolutely horrible. You struggle to hear every single report.
Please tell me you aren't saving actual reports...?
Please reassure me/us that you aren't saving the actual report with patient demographics, etc., and then showing them to others? That would be such a huge compromise of HIPAA and would bring to light a whole different set of reasons for possible future termination from an employer if it were found out.
Companies that pay for actual lines, not divided by character?
Does anyone know what companies pay for actual lines and not by characters per line?
To my own knowledge, it is less, B&W character is just the actual printed out characters..sm
that appear on the page, NO SPACES, etc, so it could really add up, I have never taken a jot with those specs, perhaps someone out there doing this could say how they made out? But I have talked to recruiters about some of these jobs and it does seem to lower the line count.
Actual work history total is 50 years, only
36 in MTing. You quoted as desperate, unskilled, newbies with Dorland's could probably do VR which shows your lack of knowledge in talking about VR. Why spread falsehoods any more. Learn about it first. I love VR, make a good salary and glad I don't have to wrack my brain trying to transcribe word by word everything the multitude of ESLs dictate these days. I have no plans to retire, don't want to because I love the money. I spoke about you going back because you have no knowledge about doing VR, otherwise you would never had spoken like you did. Takes just as much knowledge to do as straight transcribing.
Does anyone have actual experience in the quality of off-shore work?
A physical therapist in my area said they kept a file of the funniest errors they received from the off-shore work. I do believe that most of the hospital staff that get the work back care diddly-squat about quality -- it's probably not read, only filed.
I was told by several actual Indiam MTs that they were trained by watching ER episodes and typing SM
as the show was aired. They were rated on their speed, not accuracy! He said that when he did start working, the actual reports were to be edited in the US, so accuracy did not matter. I found this shocking, although the best line rate there at the time was 2-3 cpl. His accounts that he was assigned in India were for many US VA hospitals He has since come to the US and works online for a major company, last time I spoke with him, he was getting 11 cpl. He must have been trained with one of the more complicated episodes of ER...LOL BTW, I did tell him that he should be an entertainment industry MT, he would probably make more money...
Not familiar with actual company but familiar with platform some use and it is super-slick!
//
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
