The problem is

There are so many companies claiming you can make all this money from home so it has become so appealing to people who want to work from home.  That's why I got into it but that was 19 years ago and things have changed so much since then.  Most of that time, I worked for a hospital so I did not see how the industry had gone array until a few years ago when I relocated.  It's so bad that I'm contemplating going back to my home state just to get my old job back and make a decent wage. 


I see everyone talking about how speedy they are and that's fine but what about quality?  I think its hard to be productive when you know you aren't being paid much for your hard work and from one report to the next you have to remember if this company wants this bolded or not, or can I type this word or do I have to automatically remember to change it to another. There's not much "real" transcription going on these days.  Sure, VR can be a blessing at times but when you get paid less than 6 cpl to clean up a computer's mess-ups, it's awful. 


I miss old transcription.
