I agree, it's not the greatest, and I'm only saying that because of the spell check -sm

In Reply to: I just tested for Precyse, is their platform user... sm - Thanks for any info!

You don't have to do a lot of nonsense just to get started like you do if you're working with Lanier or Dictaphone. The only thing you have to take note of is your job#. And that you don't even have to if you don't want to, but it's recommended and I do it.

I personally count the lines myself and have found them to be 100% accurate. Of course these programs can vary, but the one I'm using is a good one and they're exact or, if anything, a little higher. I know I'm not getting cheated.

Hope that helps.

Horrible spell check, had to C&P onto word doc. to use spell checker. Slow, used ADT which did not

No, that's what spell check is for. nm

I don’t have to spell check here
and I was showing what I find, did you not read my posting about what I found in the neurologist's office, a sign spelled sureries.. I am not perfect, did not say that. You should edit yourself.
spell check is not, that is why I said you have to know how to look things up.
Knowing how to spell or thinking you know how to spell a word is not enough.

Good grief. Read everything.

Can you comprehend
please spell check before you post
advice is with a C.. NOT an S
I think spell check, proofing and the sm

other things you mentioned are a given for the job. When I say proofread, I mean type a report, then go back and proof, not proof as you go. I am sure we all do that.


Everyone, regardless of what they are paid, should spell check, know their accounts, know grammar and punctuation usage, etc.


I am sure many would lose money if paid hourly, sounds like you are doing well, good for you! If I had the attention span I am sure I could make what you make. I should make that my goal this year. However, how many times on these boards have you read that I am only making $3 an hour. I have read that more than I have read that people are making what you make.


What about your benefits? Do you have retirement with matching contribution from your company? Do you have health insurance, dental, vision, etc, paid for by your company (or at least sharing the cost). Do you  have paid days off? Please, I would really like to know. If I am making $30k a year with the above benefits, essentially I am almost making what you make with my benefits, wouldn't you think? I would have to run some numbers, but I think we would come very close in salary.


Also, depending on where you live, $30k can be good money. If you live in Hawaii, which is the most expensive state to live, $30k might not get you far, however, if you live in Missouri, $30k might be great money. Let's face it, $50k is not that great if you live in downtown Manhattan.


So, we throw in something else to think about, cost of living. Since an MTSO generally hires nationwide, is the cost of living of your employee a factor in what you pay?


I would think that the way an MTSO pays is generally driven by being competitive with the next company (our prices are lower)not necessarily based on cost of living or taking into consideration the education and experience of the people they are going to hire.


I am sorry. I was going to thank you for paying attention and doing a spell check.

Thanks


Precysers, if you have loaded a good spell-check,
Just click on my hidden e-mail address if you want to correspond privately. 
Is there a medical spell check built in their software? n/m

BARE BONES. Not bear need a spell check!

Similar to DocQScribe, expansions go in auto-correct, horrible spell-check. nm

One of the greatest things about the SM

large companies is the fact that they don't have time to monitor public message boards.  Why?  Because they are secure in the knowledge that they are offering what they feel is a decent wage, decent benefits and working conditions.  If they hire someone and it doesn't work out, they just see it in real terms--it wasn't a good fit.


Some small companies, on the other hand, are run by emotional people who are very insecure.


Not the greatest experience

I worked for Precyse for a good portion of last year. When I was hired I was told I had to accept a certain shift, no flexibility allowed (but wound up flexing my schedule most of the time do to lack of work). I was also told who my TL would be, turned out there was another TL for my account. Was told my account was a fair mox of 50/50 as far as ESL dictators - It was nothing but ESL dictators. Could never make my line count and would get scolded by QA quite often. I got a new TL every few months. Most were nice and had great communication skills, just had one who NEVER answered e-mails or IMs. Pay was not great, the hours I had to work were not good for me and I just had a lot of aggrevation working there.


Also, the new platform they introduced was awful. Hated it. That and the fact I had yet another changing of my TL were the reasons I left.  


My greatest sympathies..
to all you Deventure ppl.

Transcend is the pits !

:(
Just outside Des Moines BUT the greatest news is
I found another job, have loaded their software and start training tomorrow.  No more picking up tapes.  All digital and 2 cents more per line. 
I worked for them also and the greatest office staff. .. nm

I know how to spell, but you dont have to know how to spell so much
as how to look things up.

Why are you cutting on me? I know how to spell. I won my school spelling bee and went to state.

The poster above me was putting people down that cant spell.

You can work at McDonald's but I am doing fine with what I am doing.

Thanks anyway for your wonderful advice but i dont need it
I agree with you about this, but the background check business...sm

has happened to  me before.  I DO have something that I'd rather not share with others, but my supervisors are aware of it.  If it comes up in a background check (it is not criminal and has not shown up previously) they are aware of it, I have not lied about it and it should not cause any problems.  I have been through this with 2 other companies in the recent past, no problems.


Background checks are expensive and I think the cost of doing a check in depth on everyone would be cost prohibitive.  Right now, if you know it or not, everyone who is employed in the US has to prove citizenship and eligibility to work in the US.  This is part of the Homeland Security Act and absolutely nothing to do with TT or their PEOs.  I am a recent hire and I had to go through this process with the previous PEO.  If you are legal to work in the US, you have nothing to worry about. There is your background check and you have George Bush to thank for it. 


I wonder about some of you reactionaries.  What ever happened using common sense?  My mother told me not to believe everything I hear.  I extend that to not believing everything I read from an unreliable source, like a message board.  


 


I agree, although employees do have the option of having the check Fed Ex'd. sm

However, if they are going to mail the checks, the checks should be mailed to arrive on the day of pay day and the employee should not have to pay to have their check Fed Ex'd.  I am going to start working PT for Encompass, and the first check or two comes via the mail until DD is established, and they state in the contract that the checks are mailed so as to arrive on the day of pay day.  To me, THAT is a sign of a company that cares. 


JLG may be a great company, but it sounds like they have financial issues.  I worked there a long time ago and at that time we were paid every other week.  It stated in the contract that the checks would be mailed every other Friday from the Tampa airport.  I waited and waited and when I FINALLY got my check, they had back dated the postage meter date to the day it was supposed to have been mailed, but it was postmarked severald days later -- like I'm so stupid I wouldn't notice!!   Still, things change and personell change, and I had considered working for them again until all of this mess started up again, which obviously was a  major red flag to me.  I do believe that they care for the MTs, so I hope they get the financial thing solved and reinstitute direct deposit. 



I agree with the above poster. Check past postings.

Not a good place to work at all.

nm
you'd think I could spell my pseudoname right at least.
nm
so you think you can spell right? HOW? By looking things up!
I plainly said you have to learn how to spell check and to LOOK THINGS UP.


READ PEOPLE

I meant taxes not takes.
spell it "unprofessional" -- one 'f', not two

Spell correctly.
Maybe their line rate was low because you couldn't type well. It is atrocious
does anybody know how to spell redundent
?
Who cannot spell the word anything.

The word anything is a no brainer.  Boy, you're sure a little high on the horse, huh?  I'm not the OP, but where's the support here ??????  Cut the OP a break.  She's venting!  Oh, you must be QA.........


Can you spell audit?
They may not pay you a visit by ringing the doorbell but they can audit you and this encompasses 3 years of returns and you better have each and every receipt for each and every item you claim. It is not a pretty picture at an audit and can cost you dearly.
Well, you did spell Axolotl right, but.....(sm)

Too bad you can't spell it, jeAlousy.

You need to LEARN to spell....
Don't you think?
No wonder! This company cannot spell they.
He or she probably couldn't pass their own test.
Guess I need to spell it out
I didn't say VR was a disaster. I said rushing through to meet some arbitrary goal of minutes mixed with the VR requirements is a recipe for disaster. I've seen what this hospital puts out and they do indeed miss important things that should be fixed and aren't.
Does background check include credit check?

An editor who can't spell misspelled..lol

Can't even spell the names of your accounts

Then spell stupid correctly.

Well, mercy goodness, don't have a spell.
If you re-read your post, I think you'll see that it didn't sound quite like you say you meant it. My personal experience is that Transtech doesn't play favoritism in any way. Yes, they ask me when I went to work for them 5 years ago which work types I preferred and yes, when I got a back up they asked me the same thing. So I don't assume there was anything special about your treatment or mine, just how they treat everyone but Sister, you don't clean up a thing behind me and I hope I'm not having to clean up behind you.

Yes, IMHO TransTech is as good a placed as an MT is likely to find to work for these days and I fail to see what all the *itching is about. On the other hand I have a very hard time believing anyone makes their required line count the first day. I'm not saying it's impossible but I've been around the block a time or two and I've never seen anyone, including myself, who could do that. In a week or so yes, but not the first day. If you've racked up 42,000 lines for this month, I say good for you but not everyone can do that. I could but I simply do not want to anymore. Can't speak for everyone else but I don't have a jealous bone in me and most people think I'm a pretty nice person. There are just a few things that get under my skin and I might add that calling people jealous, rude, nasty because they differ in their opinions from yours is one of those things. With those adjectives attached to the people on this forum, you ought to try the other one, you know the unmonitored one. I post there and have for years. If you go over there and post the same post you made here they will eat you for lunch. LOL

Anyhow, welcome to TransTech, we may even work on the same accounts, who knows. But you can rest easy, you'll never be cleaning up behind TT112, you can ask them in the office if you don't want to take my word for it.
