70% - mine is a little higher than that. Hope they don't realize it and make me pay back. nm

In Reply to: They pay 70%, and I expect they will "adjust it" - down to 50% or less. nm

It is only right that a higher level MT should make more but I feel I can tell anyone I want
:+
Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm

I sure hope I can get mine today from TransTech.
Boy, that would be a God-send right now.
Same here. It's still down. I hope it comes back up soon!
I have lots of lines to enter!
I hope you can back this up
looks a lot like libel to me. Matter-of-fact, I'm going to inform the corporate office of this post. I work for TT myself and I most certainly take this as a personal affront.
Did you ask them? I mailed mine back and they were OK with that. sm
They are very nice people to deal with. I have been there 16 months and am glad that I went with them over another company that is getting some very negative posts here and very few positive posts. Just as an FYI: I have not had to fax anything since, never had a need to. I mailed my 401k application and that is all I have had to do!
I just hope you're not back here a (sm)
month from now claiming someone or some company took your money for a newbie chance or internship type situation and it was a scam. If there was a legit company, the post could have just posted without the need for asking for private contact.
I got mine back in maybe 2 days. They've been
running an ad so may be swamped. I didn't take the position because I found out they offshore and what the recruiter told me and the team leader told me were 2 totally different things about the account they wanted me to work on.
yes..depends on back...mine was there last night...

Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a
nm
can't make mine at MQ either. .
Thought I really sucked at transcribing, but after looking at several posts, it appears to be a common complaint. I would love to hear from someone who actually DOES make 1200-1400 a day and learn the secret.
Didn't realize it was catty to realize that from 1/18 to 1/25 is a week and nothing happened. sm
Thanks for being supportive and kind.
I hope DSG doesn't make the change

I do. I hope you find something to make you happy and
that is something you can depend on. Whether in this business or not. I wish that for us all!
I hope that's true, might make me feel a little better...
Even if they are being charged less, the rates companies are paying MTs to do VR is grossly unfair. There is no way it takes half the time to do VR as compared to regular. You still have to listen to the whole dictation. Maybe 65-70% would be fair, not 50%.
The percentage of offshoring is higher than 15%, much higher - sm
Two more points - the Indian transcriptionists seemed to get the easy American dictators while the US transcriptionists get the Indian doctors and other ESLs. Never made sense to me. Also, a poster said the work is QA'd before being sent to the client - not all the time and if was then QA needs better training.
make that what I do know "is" that..........sorry now back to work :)

I went back to transcribing because I could make more money!
They wanted me to wade through pure garbage work the MTs were uploading for 3.5 cents per line and $14 an hour on top of that. Trust me, it was NOT worth it. I am happily transcribing again and making more! Let the MTSO or company edit for peanuts. I have bills to pay here!
Why should I go back to making 9 cpl when I make 11 cpl now?? I made 8 cpl over 12 years ago.
nm
If you look back in the archives people left when they realized they couldn't make money with it.
nm
I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port. I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like. I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it.
I think you all need to realize
That MDI would not have never been created if not for Liz and Sue McGrogan....remember this is a company that they built from scratch. So without Sue's input MDI would not be what it is today. Kudos for her and the $$$ her business has made over the years. I don't care where you work you are not going to be able to please EVERYONE all of the time. It just doesn't work that way...Oh and by the way...I am not management and I don't even work for MDI...I work for hospital in Florida.
Maybe you need to realize that they
most likely had to sell out because of their poor management abilities! Management is where all the troubles lie!
I'm sure you realize...
...that much of what I said was tongue in cheek, as there really AREN'T questions that will identify someone who has a personality problem. Unless, or course, the person is severely troubled and is speaking tangentially, or is using word salad, or has flight of ideation. I've come to realize that grandiosity is an uncommon, but workable trait in some MTs. Lol....
I appreciate your thoughts and wisdom on the topic. Hopefully others will begin to recognize that, short of tests that are designed to help identify problems, there isn't anything a recruiter can do to weed out the problem folks. To infer that there is someone bigger and better than a recruiter ("the MTSO")to accomplish this isn't going to be easy, or cost-effective.
Don't you realize..........sm
that many of these posts are from MTs who have experienced your hiring process nightmares first hand? You only make it worse for your company by coming on this board and calling us liars.

I don't think most realize that you don't have
to be consistent. I stick with it consistently.
It's not that hard to make this money. You're right - don't work for peanuts. Find the line rate you need.
It can still pay well if you're good at this work. Some people just aren't as good as others.
Thank you. I now realize that I am being
paid for links. Just did not know what they were exactly. I have been counting them as separate reports so I guess the end result regarding pay is the same.
I realize that, I was just saying...sm
There were companies I worked for that didn't require me to send invoices because I know that if the IRS were to question them, all they have to do is show them the contract that I signed as an IC and it saves their butts. I wasn't disputing.
Not sure if you realize...
but the 7th was a Sunday. Of course you were paid on the 8th.
I don't work for Cardioscribes, so it's really none of my business, but you're making yourself look pretty bad here. Banks aren't open on Sunday for DD, and mail doesn't run on Sunday...so you do the math there.
You might not appreciate it, but do you realize that
every day there are people wondering how they are going to feed their kids, that people are losing their houses, and $100 would be a major blessing to them.
You have to realize there is more than 1
Medscribe, none related.
OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE A HIGHER UP
OR A SUCK UP THAT CHERRYPICKS ALL THE GOOD WORK AND GETS PAID FOR YOUR SPACES. Get a life and leave us poor people alone.
Higher?
They won't if you don't know how to spell hire.
higher
SS pays higher than that for QA.
higher than DQS
but I get paid for everything whether I type it or not, headers, footers, ADT, etc.
they can higher new MTs
nm
My pay is much higher
I do VR and straight and what you quoted lots lower.
higher pay does not mean better. Try them both.
nm
I think once you get into it you'll realize just
how little med-speak you know. I have always soaked up anything medical, starting in junior high and terminology came very easy to me, but I have been in this business 20 years and I still learn new info all the time. I may learn a new piece of equipment or new drug, or have a doctor from a different part of the country and he may use different terminology, not necessarily new, but new to me. I may have a day go by where I don't have to look up anything, but I rarely have 2 days that I don't.
The speed will come with practice. I barely passed typing in junior high and never really typed aftewards until I started in this profession. If I had to take a typing test where I had to type from a book I'd fail, but I can fly when typing dictation.
I didn't realize there was such a
company where everyone is happy and no negative comments. Point me in the right direction - I certainly would appreciate it.
You need to realize that about 80 pc of the docs sm
practicing acute care in this country are ESL. It is what it is.
I like them a lot better than the native English speakers, who slur words, like to play with the language. ESLs learn one way to say it, and they say it that way every time. You just have to get used to it.
You have to realize that there are some people that you cannot sm
make happy no matter what you do and that those same people take their negative selves to the boards and attack their latest company. It IS two-sided. MTSOs have as many problems with MTs as MTs do with MTSOs, but we are supposed to just sit back and be attacked without voice.
There are some people who have miserable lives and like to spread their poison everywhere they go. The problem is that they seem nice and normal when being hired and then their true self shines through within days or weeks.
glad you realize
what I am talking about. I worked on it for 2 weeks. I gave it my best shot. My Expander was loaded. The account was super-easy, but Meditech ran so slow I was typing faster than it could run and I was typing a word, pausing, typing a word, pausing. I have worked on more than 50 accounts in my career and 10 or so different software systems. I can say, without exaggeration, I would not work on that particular account if they offered me $25/hr salary. I was so stiff with tension at the end of the day I walked like Frankenstein.
Thanks, I didn't realize there were so many. nm
Bet I realize who this company is - sm
Someone on here did that to me too, was back and forth, back and forth, had a confusing pay scale, just had another ad on the boards this past week. Don't want to say too much here because I KNOW they come here although it is not a well known place.
If it is the same place, I'd say run because I think the problem is just total chaos and disorganization - nothing to be a part of.
While I realize we all need a Plan B, I mean...
the same thing? Maybe we should broaden our horizons elsewhere? Anyone else thinking this way? Break out of the mold...you know??
that was nice of you, I did not realize
you would do that.
Oh they realize, and they were the first ones I contacted
XX
I realize...I just want a job that has a ton of work that
I can do as I please. There is one company I've been hearing about that has a ton of work and will let me go part-time, which helps (since I have a current job as well). I have little kids, it's just so hard...not what it used to be.
MODERATOR.......I realize all sm
opinions should be welcome here, but LMAO is just cruel beyond words. Are these the kind of posts that mtstars really want on here? Just cruelty to people who are down and out?
LMAO poster is a very cruel and scary poster. If you have any sympathy at all, could you please stop her?
