The accounts I have are under 200 beds, hardly any ops and those are most Csections, EGD, colonoscopies.  Hardly even a chole or appy.  New enough I don't want to really complain to my supervisor.  Thinking about picking up PT job just to keep my skills up in OP department.  Used to working 500 to 800 bed hospitals with lots of exciting ops.  Should I shut up and be glad I like the comany?

Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
LOVE the platform!
I love ExText! It's one of my favorite platforms. I have honestly never had any problems with it before.
I love the ES platform....
Some of the dictators on my account are so dang great, at times I just put the speed all the way up and can just listen through and upload it...AMAZING platform with the right dictators!
I LOVE the platform, the rest is what I do not like
I second that!!
Maybe they are like me, love the platform, but can't make money with it

Love ExText platform but not sure about companies as I'm an IC. nm

Love my platform...hate the company
I currently work for DSG and love DocQscribe.
Which platform are you referring to? They have several. I LOVE mine!!! nm

I love the platform and make good $ on it. SM

I do believe it has to do with the accounts though.  I've used it for 4 hospitals and have made great money, both VR and straight typing.  VR gives me more than double the lines of typing but I do think it is an acquired skill.  Learn the shortcuts and use them.  It is also only as good as the team training the VR. 


On the other hand I've used it on a clinic account and the lines were just not coming in like they do in AC.  A very heavy, 90%, ESL verbatim account and I lasted all of 2 weeks on that account. 


I'd say I do about 90% VR and 10% straight typing and all in all I'm impressed with the accuracy of the VR. 


Yes, it comes with Stedman's built in. You'll love the platform, it's
the easiest I have worked with.
I am in training - 27 years experience. Love the platform! nm

I love the WMX platform. Extremely user friendly and fast. SM
I definitely do not have to enter a bunch of demographics, which is really a plus for me. I love it here, going on one year now!
I currently work at JLG and love it. Great, user friendly platform.
They leave you alone to type.  Pay on time, never late.  Pretty well organized and good communication.  And they do not offshore!  I be sticking around.   Cubicles 






I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm

the people are great.  I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.



the more I know people, the more I love my pets
nm
I love it when people are jealous
and post negative remarks because a fellow MT is doing their job!!!! 
Places love people who can do
the lousy accounts. That is one less problem for them. Have you thought about going elsewhere?

I was a CMT once. Big waste of money.
The one in Houston is the one people love
NM
they use Emdat platform a lot, which a lot of people
nm
Prepared to be bored and much more. sm

I did legal for 9 years. I even went on to get my paralegal degree too. I loved the research, client interviews, etc., but the transcription is boring with a capital B. Tons and tons of formatting and forms as everything is different for each area of law and has to be done just so.


I was good at it, but ended up moving and couldn't find legal. I love MT so much more than legal. So much more interesting and a lot more money.


If you think healthcare is a tough field, wait until you deal with lawyers. If you want to stay at home and If you're going to go legal, study court reporting. That's where the interesting stuff is and the big bucks. Most legal transcription is inhouse so that the lawyers can have you schedule, answer phones, greet clients, take care of their trailing dockets AND do the transcription which they generally crab about if it's not done in a timely fashion even though the phone rings off the hook all day.


And if you work for a lawyer inhouse, buy suits, nice shoes and a briefcase (with an extra pair of nylons in case you get a run) and make sure your car doesn't look bad next to their caddy. They generally don't like that. :)


I did have one really great lawyer I worked for that didn't really care about all of that, but he also didn't really care about paying all that much.


Good luck!


I agree. Think DK is just bored.

JADED, BORED... sm
I think they are jaded and bored, dictating into their chests as they click through computer screens and arrowing down for lab values, sometimes I think they are going to break the keyboard, TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP (heavy sigh) TAP TAP TAP.. I think to myself, Geeze, this is not great for me either buddy.
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
I would LOVE to hear opinions on Enterprise platform for Webmedx&for Shorthand.See msg.
Thanks so much!  Does anyone know if Instant Text will work with Enterprise also.  The recruiter who offered me a job was fuzzy on that.  Any webmedx employees who would like to E-mail me opinions, etc., I would deeply appreciate it
Some people just love to stir things up.

Thank you to all the KS people who posted below - Love this board! NM

Great people..AWFUL platform!!!nm

What kind of platform does People Support use?
z
Nice people there. Depends on what platform. sm
It was Inscribe. Cumbersome with lots of entries to make in demographics fields, many doctor addresses to look up and fill in, and differing specs for each account. They have a lot of work, but I had to be put on several different accounts to stay busy. I had a hard time getting the minimum lines in each day because I spent so much time fiddling with other things and looking up doc names, specs, jumping between accounts, etc. It was far too much hassle for ME for the line rate, which was 7-8 cpl depending how many lines you did per week. It wasn't just me, either, because I spoke to another experienced MT who hired on around the same time and she was feeling the same way.

The cons are very nice and helpful people, pay was on time and correct, the doctors were clear with hardly any ESLs, and there seemed to be plenty of work, albeit on several different accounts. I would've probably stayed there if not for that platform. http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sowhat.gif
Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
exactly....all of the people that I know that work for Keystrokes are happy and love their job...
move on if it is not the right fit for you...there are plenty of other companies out there...
Lots of people work for Adept and LOVE us
Would Adept hire you back? It's a two-way street, you know? This is irresponsible.
People don't "choose" who they love. My family is broke s/m
as broke can be, but I would not trade my husband or anything else for all of the money in the world. Your comment was pretty rude. The original poster is obviously just feeling discouraged. Who in the h*ll are you to judge who she picked or to act as if perhaps she just get a better husband? You sound like a spoiled child.

Not to mention your grammar. Are you an MT? You SHOULD OF CHOSE a better husband ?? Nice. You might be more careful the next time you want to insult someone that you don't come off looking incompetent yourself.
There are a lot of people who do and it seems that most love working there. I started 6 months ago
and have no complaints at all. It is refreshing to work for a company that treats employees as individuals, not just a number. I also like that they do not send work offshore and that I only have one main account. I do have 2 back-up accounts, but have never worked on them after training. I am lucky that my main account is very busy, too busy most of the time!
Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Good luck on whatever you decide. 
I am having the slowest week of my life..so bored! nm
nm
Not surprised. BTW, I'm bored with Iraq - I hope
.
I love it there. Tons of work, great people. I am 100% happy.

great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm
x
Then I guess you aren't missing anything. If bored, go do next week's
Get a grip.
I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.


 


Hope this helps.


I'm the OP, just asking about extra hours in case I'm bored over the weekend and I've alrea

Thank you, we all get sick of 1 bored girl after another posting negatively to a post. Give it a br

Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm
nm
Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money.  They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
 
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL

On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly -  its a nightmare to work in. 


Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.
