At over 10 cpl, it is not impossible!

It is not impossible. I do it every day.
I have never hard trouble meeting the minimum line requirement and I've been there 7 years. My lines have fluctuated sometimes when I have to do work that I'm not familiar with. However, I have very nice line counts most of the time.
Impossible...nm

It is almost impossible to do unless you have MTs that are guiding you. sm
You will not have the know-how about work flow, QA, TAT, etc that is necessary. Find an MTSO that is willing to help you with pricing, pay, etc. We are all pretty much the same. You can email me if you want or try one of the mid-size companies. I am actually much smaller than what you are taking on, with only 28 employees. You might want to partner up with one of the mid-size ones to make it run smooth. Worth a try if nothing else.
Because the ones at OSi are full of ESLs that are about impossible...nm

It is nearly impossible to do a comparison when posts
which even mention brand x, with no discussion involved, are restricted or removed. I think at one time or another most of us have worked there.
Doing our job is stressful, but being perfect is impossible....
There is such a thing has high expectations, but when it goes beyond that.....
if it's an impossible report for one to do, then it should go to someone more familiar with the d

Does anyone else find it near impossible to follow
I'd getting dizzy. I can't seem to be able to follow who is replying to which comment. I think I am in the right place, but then the comment below doesn't make sense with the comment above it. And I think people are getting upset because the response does not match the comment and someone thinks they are being dissed. Sometimes it looks like they are agreeing with something but then when you read the rest they are actually disagreeing. Sometimes when I post I think it will end up below one post and it ends up below someone elses. Is it just me? Or maybe when there are this many replies people should just stand back, let it drop, and not provoke anyone else by accidently having a reply end up in the wrong place.
Yes and you'll go broke. Impossible
You'll spend 30 minutes on a report trying to decipher the horrible dictators and you'll be lucky if you make 30 lines in that time.
impossible? its 127 lines/hour.

No, it is not impossible. I get 11 cpl and work M-F days, IC status. nm

Sorry. I know our QA people have to have so many reports done per hour and it is almost impossible
to do that plus all the other things put on them besides so a lot got sick of the stress and quit. They have monthly reviews to do as well so they are constantly stressing so who knows how the quality holds up for QA as well as MT. Seems like quality is secondary anymore to low cpl and the amount you can throw out. Hospitals that I always thought were fussy are now sending work offshore.
Something to think about. Making it impossible for those of us that do NOT mislead anyone will forc
Why are transcriptionists making it nearly impossible for us to find good, reliable, loyal employees? One more reason to consider offshore employees. They NEED to work to eat and SURVIVE. They do not pull temper tantrums or try to pull a fast one.
I have 8 employees that I treat well but I do not doubt that all but 1 would turn on me if they thought someone on the next block was offering something better.
Less time complaining and conniving would be more constructive and everyone would benefit.
There are two sides to this argument, but no one wins. We should try to work together instead of against each other.
Yeah, if you want to look up demographics that are impossible to understand, & get paid for
If you don't mind being nit-picked to death and QA'd into the ozone, go for it.
So you believe offering 2 options to clients is impossible? It's pretty cut and
dried to me. You offer Option 1 as a money-saving low rate with offshore transcription and editing. Sorry, we can't guarantee quality, but hey, you save big bucks. You then offer Option 2, quality-minded American MTs and editors, the gold standard. The rate is higher, but so is the quality of the work. Of course, you then have to make sure you hire only those who can actually maintain high quality.
You are probably right though. It wouldn't work as there no doubt are far too many companies already offshoring without the client's knowledge reaping the benefits of using low-paid foreign workers with nondiscounted line rates. Silly me.
