Is it fair to use ESLs on testing -
Posted By: Fingers
And I do not mean those with accents, or even those with broken English. I mean those who are not even speaking the English language! I doubt anyone could understand them in their own language, especially if they do not even complete a sentence. I do not think this practice is a fair assessment of one's abilities. I failed this test completely and then scored perfectly with 3 other companies. Some of these companies need to wise up. You are letting good people slip through your fingers with this practice.
I tried to look up MDI-MD in archives and evidently -
Posted By: Too Old MQr
you can't put initials in because it brought up nothing. But I was in a discussion last week about MDI-MD and I know they are IC. I thought there was also a post that said how much you get paid during training but I can't find it. If any MDI-MDers could answer this I would appreciate it. Is there a set amount they pay for training? Couldn't find it on website either. Thanks.

Could someone help me with the figuring out of gross line versus character line? sm -
Posted By: Help...
I have generally been paid by character line, 65-character line. Now, I have had job opportunities offering to pay gross line but it like 3 cents cheaper than what I am being paid now. A few places I have read that gross line is MUCH better, but is it much better if the pay is so much lower? Please explain how it works or equals out. This position has offered me 6 cents per gross line - what would that equal out to in character lines? Thanks...so confused...
Company with hourly QA pay? -

I'm extremely unhappy with my current QA position and feel that I'm being pushed out of the company. I regret the move I made from MQ to my current company, as sad as that sounds.
I need to find another hourly QA job as I am a single mom and need to support my kids. What companies hire hourly QA?

Tickle Me Elmo:
There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.
Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM.
The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.
At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.
The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena. I'm sorry, he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...
Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.

With school soon out, we plan on doing traveling, but my currently job's platform/foot pedal is not compatible with my computer as it uses either a 15-pin or a USB and my current job requires a 9-pin foot pedal thus I can only use it at home and wouldnt be able to work while we travel. Does any know of any companies with a platform and/or foot pedal setup that allows for this. Thanks in advance

What companies have best benefits in terms of PDOs? -

Two weeks/10 days PDO is not fair and not enough when you have to use it to cover holidays, vacation and sick leave. I would think there are companies who can do better than that. Who are they?

I am sooo happy you found an old-time MT company!! Been doing this for 22 years and am very discouraged and depressed. Didn't think there were any left like it used to be. That was when transcription was fun!! I would love to find a small company where I could just work the same 2 or 3 docs for a decent wage. Congratulations!

CBay -

I was wonderng if anybody who works for CBay can tell me about the company from an employee's viewpoint. I recently got a job offer but I don't know much about the company itself. I know they own the majority share of MedQuist. I also know they have an India corporate office along with the USA one. Aside from this, I really don't know much about the company operations and don't find very much info reading the boards. Thanks
Anyone here work for TSSC? -
Posted By: wondering
Just wondering why I sometimes get responses that include times of prior e-mails. It's almost like they are on the defensive. I have never encountered this type of communication and am having trouble making sense of it. I don't need a history of communication, who did what when is not necessary for such minor requests and I find it particularly confusing. I feel like I'm bothering them or something. Anyone else feel like they are imposing? I haven't worked there long but like it so far. Wish I knew why communication was so different. Maybe it's because they've grown so fast, could just be incredibly busy I guess.

What is their starting pay? Do they pay everyone the same whether they have 2 years experience or 15 years? Want to know the pay range and whether or not it's worth it (to me) to go through the testing process.

VR question -
Posted By: Long time transcriptionist
I work doing VR at .038 per line. No matter how hard I work, how fast I am, I can't seem to make much more than $80.00 a day, which is completely unacceptable for all the years I have been doing transcription (almost 30.) Any suggestions on where to make money doing VR or should I go back to straight typing? Thanks for much.

Stated Goal: Eliminate MTs this decade -
Posted By: equineluvr
Most are already aware (it is pretty obvious), but because some still refuse to open their eyes, I am posting the below from the Nuance website. It is actually a timeline of the Dictaphone Corporation's history, which is pretty interesting and goes back to Alexander Graham Bell.
Still, I find it noteworthy that they state in no uncertain terms that they want to "eliminate most manual transcription for healthcare in North America this decade."
"A major development took place in February 2006 when Burlington-Massachusetts-based Nuance Communications announced that it would acquire Dictaphone in a cash deal worth $357 million. In a news release Nuance Chairman and CEO Paul Ricci commented on the acquisition, which was completed by the end of March, stating: 'The combined resources, experience and talents of Nuance and Dictaphone will help accelerate the adoption of speech recognition to eliminate most manual transcription for healthcare in North America this decade, delivering over $5 billion in savings to care facilities and transcription service organizations.'
Under new parentage, Dictaphone was named a division of Nuance--the Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions division--and Schwager was named its president.
