With a good dictator that knows what he/she wants to say and says it, without all the ...uh....ah....mmmm.....ah.....ugh, ad nauseum... rudely shuffles papers while you're waiting for the next sound ... without the courtesy of shutting the machine off while they steal even more of your time....yes, without all this inconsiderate behavior on the part of dictators...the above equation would probably be correct.

One software is Dictaphone Extext and Dictaphone Exspeech.  The best part about it is that you can look up old reports by patient, doctor, etc.  It has a good shortcut program that I imported from a previous job.

Another software is Escription (or Editscript).  This is what a lot of companies are using now and it is great and better in my opinion than ExsSpeech.

About the people in the home office, yes they are very receptive and supportive from management to support to QA. 

About QA, they are strict in terms of major mistakes but most of them do not nitpick on little things (some do though).  They are strict in terms of account specifics and if you are familiar with that you will do okay.  If you don't follow it they will let you know.  It took me about a week to get off QA but I don't think that is set in stone.  Some people get off earlier and some stay on QA longer. 

We don't have a limit to the number of reports we can type the first day.  That is one reason I like Transtech so much.  My previous jobs limited me to a certain number which really can hurt the pocketbuck.  Not so with Transtech.

I don't think that many companies actually pay you for a holiday if you are off but we have PTO that we use.  The thing with Transtech is that they pay you time and a half if you work on a holiday and it doesn't matter if you are not scheduled to work.  They said if you are willing to work on a holiday then you deserve the extra pay.  At my previous job we only got the bonus if it was a scheduled workday.

I would average 1200 to 1400 lines a day with traditional typing and about 2500 with speech but I am still getting used to speech so think that will go up.  Also they have a tier system where the more lines you get the more you get paid per line.

The benefits are very affordable.  We have Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia.

They have some Monday-Friday jobs with weekend rotation.  It may depend on the account.  I work Tuesday-Saturday because I asked for it.

Yes you can work extra even if you are not scheduled but you would need to check to make sure there are plenty of jobs left for the MT's that are scheduled.

You can get backup accounts if you run out of work.  Not a problem.

Transtech is the best company I have worked for.  They don't require you to check in with IM and they leave you alone to do your work.

I hope I have answered your questions.
