Which companies use Escription VR ?
nm
Escription companies
Who is working for a company using escription and what is your pay rate? Do you enjoy working for them or is it a hassle? Thanks!!!
What companies use escription?
I've never used it, but am interested in finding out more about it. Thanks!
Companies with Escription?
Can any of you suggest companies that use the eScription platform? I work for a company currently who uses editscript and i love it. Another company i work for uses beyondtxt which i hate. i am thinking of looking for another company who uses escription to replace the beyondtxt company. any suggestions?
Escription..what companies....
use them? I am specifically looking for which MTSO contracts UMass Memorial Healthcare. Thanks!!!
Looking for companies that hire IC on escription..sm
Other than Sten-Tel and Alphamed, who hires IC status to work on escription?
Thanks
What companies hire PT escription ...
TIA.
Meant to say what companies use Escription!! nm
xx
Any companies out there willing to train people for eScription that have never used it before but
,
Yes, I have checked into and worked for several companies that use Escription and Transcend has the
best pay..now, they just need more work so if you have steady work, then I'd stay put.
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
sounds like other companies, pretty much. nm
.
I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Are there other companies that use SE status and DQS other than MQ.Sounds like MQ has maxed out.

sounds like mgmt from 1 of the companies in message to me.

Sounds like a load of bull to me. Some companies have old
reports that you can look up in their system. My company has samples from various docs posted in a database, other companies will fax/e-mail you samples. I find it hard to believe that all those companies are in violation of privacy issues.
Escription has been out of work. Dictaphone has lots of work.
ANYONE WORK ON ESCRIPTION
Does anyone who works on Escription have any good tips or hints for productivity or any other information to pass along. I would appreciate any additional help. I have just started on it. Thanks
If you work on Escription
If you work for Tammy on Escription, chances are you don't have work.
I work on the eScription account.
I know I was hired because I needed no training for the software. I don't think they have the time or manpower to train people on the software. They want people to be able to jump right in.
I work on escription accounts.
pay 4/9 for 60-90 days, can't remember which, then 4/10. Very nice to work for. I've been there since Octoberish.
Doesn't escription work better than
what the Q has? People post their ASR funnies, and they are unbelievable. I think escription works better, but that's just through the grapevine.
do they send escription work to
or just beyondtxt work to india? I have been on escription.. my last paycheck is barely 300 bucks (due tomorrow) as there was NEVER any work on the accounts i had
You are lucky you work on eScription then... Try
MedQuist's ASR and report back! It doesn't learn anything and gets worse daily!
I will trade for your $16 an hour anyday. I am down to under 10 and only 4 years ago was around $25.
Not complaining about wages not going up but certainly would like them to remain the same!!!!
Anyone know of Escription companies that offer IC status. I do not want employee status but would
like to stick with the Escription platform at all possible.
I'll work for them again if they get another eScription account.
The one I was on was lost. Not too heart broken as it was a pain in the butt account.
Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.
Sounds like you work for MDI - MD
x
Gee, sounds like someone I want to work for (NOT)
x
Sounds like we may work for the same co. Do ask..
I finally did and it is being checked on. I'm not that proud to ask LOL
Where do you work now? Sounds like
Webmedx.
That sounds like a lot of work to me. I have a
FT job, 12 hour window also, and then work as an IC as second job. For that, I pick when I work (if they have it). I have no line or hour requirements with them. That way, if I don't feel like working extra that day or weekend, I am not required to.
Boy, sounds like where I used to work.
The company doesn't start with a T does it. This QA person was extremely rude to me over something, and when the supervisor found out, she was reprimanded and then that is when my nightmare began. I could not do anything right and I could not take the constant nitpicking so I just ended up quitting. In my opinion, once you have crossed someone with that power it just ends up being a head game. I tried the going to the head cheese thing but it just got worse. Do whatever your instinct tells you though. In the end, it is a lot of pressure knowing someone is just waiting for you to fail and I'm so sorry this happened to you also.
sounds like you work at -
PAMF!
MT, it sounds like you work for a sm
wonderful MTSO, and I wish you knew me!!! I've had more than 25 years of continuous MT experience and have a 100% QA rating (have proof). I prefer transcribing OPs but will do whatever comes in my queue, and I'm not afraid of ESLs.
Sounds like the one I work for that just can't seem to get it in there on time for DD. sm
Always an excuse.
I work on an account that sounds just like the one being described. sm
The difference is that I stayed with it and make excellent money. There has been a lot of MTs removed and moved, but it is a challenging account in terms of difficulty level. I love it now. The funny thing is that you are all arguing a point that you know nothing about. No one can know what an account is like in a day or a week. Several of us have been on it since KS get it over a year ago and it has grown from a 2-person account to a 10-person account and I heard it will be growing again. This is because KS is willing to only put their best MTs on there and will remove those that cannot handle it. This is NOT a bash at anyone's skills, just a fact that this is a hard operative notes account. I might be good at it, but it is my personal specialty.
It also IS internet, not c-phone.
Sounds like you want to work PT, but get the benefits of FT!
There are minimum requirements so that the employee must work in order to get health insurance, PTO, etc. Why on earth would an employer offer someone a FT employee status, but then not put any kind of line requirement on them? That's just absurd.
As a manager of a transcription department at a hospital that pays their MTs hourly plus incentive, if I didn't have minimum production standards in place, I'd have a bunch of hourly employees taking a million breaks and surfing the internet all shift long! And still walking out with a nice paycheck and benefits to boot! And my minutes would be through the roof with doctors screaming at me every minute of every day!
I feel sorry for the company that gives you a job. You're looking to get off easy!
Sounds like you work at my company.
They never respond to calls or e-mails and, when they do, it shows they never understood the question or problem. LOL.
Well sounds like nothing has changed. I work there now and it is exactly as you say.
Not sure how long I will stay. I wonder what kind of turnover they have with the lack of work, poor sound, etc. You would think they would get sick and tired of training new people. Their accounts arent what I would call easy accounts to learn. I guess it works for them or they would change their ways. With all the complaining these hospitals they have do about things you would think they would try to keep good MTs. I have never worked for a place with so much complaining about crazy stuff as they people do.
Sounds like we work for the same place...sm
Same thing is happening to me. I have worked 50 hours a week for the past 2 months just to get my lines in. When I turn in my time sheet, I put down that I worked 100 hours in 2 weeks. I got an e-mail from my company stating to please only put 80 hours down. Now, this seems totally illegal to me!!! They should not get away with this but what can I do? I need to pay my bills.
I can see a lot of problems in this way of doing things. That sounds to me like everyone's work i
up for grabs so that would push those MTs that have their acccounts grabbed up go onto other accounts. If you think this doesnt affect quality I think you are totally crazy. There are a lot of people that simply cannot do a good job on accounts this way and they are very good MTs. Very bad way to do business. I am sure quality is hughly compromised. It is always always best for quality and line counts to keep people with what they know. Even the hospitals can see who is in there and they know there are a lot of unknown MTs in their accounts and if the quality goes down or a lot of work is tied up in QA those hospitals are gone to another company.
Sounds like you work for the company/account
I do FT. I'm 17 hours short this week. Fortunately there is plenty of work today, my day off. I won't be able to get any overtime but hopefully I'll be able to make up most of those 17 hours.
Wow...sounds like a good place to work.
Sounds like they made it worthwhile.
So I guess if you are experienced and work for nothing there are job. Sounds bad. nm
:
It sounds like a good place to work..
which is why they are at the top of my very short list. I also am a long-time MQer and the thought of leaving is a little depressing, but it has gotten to the point where I have no choice. p.s. Glad to hear you were treated well, and that everyone is doing okay. : )
Sounds like the company I work for now. Horrible
it. The company in general is also very, very strict on QA, so there's never a relaxed minute as the newbie on the block, and the cliques! Its cruel. I feel like I'm in school again, getting left out and laughed at and even set up for failure. There is always someone calling out sick, etc., as you describe, and I am told I always have to be the one to cover due to seniority, or my lack of it. Its so upsetting that I'm just about to throw in the towel myself. I'm sorry I can't recommend anyone other than MQ QA, but I heard they are no longer hiring QA staff. They used to pay really, really well and the conditions were fine. Best of luck to you.
Sounds like you work at a great place
That seems like a much more reasonable line rate for VR, 0.065 - correct. A lot better than the 0.03 0 0.045 that most offer. Would it be okay to ask who you work for?
Sounds like the woman I used to work for. She is not located in -sm
NJ by chance. If so, things will not improve. Start looking for another job ASAP. I know it sucks for you right now but I found another job and I am making more $$ and I have a lot less stress. I too, hated the thought of going through finding another job, liked the accounts I typed and so forth. Good luck to you. I hope you ended up better off down the road.
Sounds like the place I used to work for. The one with crappy program?
nm
I saw they were hiring but there is no way I'd work for them. Their ad sure sounds good with shif
differential and good pay etc.. but it means nothing if they dont pay their people and you had to fight to get it. No thanks.
