Oops, make that *your* little.....
//
Make that 'pErusing' - oops!

Oops--make that "disheartened." nm

Oops! - Make that ominous sign (sm)

So adjectives aren't my strong point.



Oops, should be companies.

Are there any companies that don't make you

work from a pool, but allow you to download or send you so many minutes or files per day from a particular clinic or hospital dictator(s).   I just want to do my jobs and be done when they run out.  I don't want to have to wait around for more dictation or have dictation from unknowns put in my queue to fill up my shift.  Do such places exist?


Which companies don't make you punch a
I'm currently an IC and hate the thought of clocking in and out for a measly potty break.
Too many companies invested money in VR, and they are going to make
sure they can use it, no matter what. So even if it can only type if, and and the correctly, it will be put into VR and the poor MT that has to straighten that garbage out will be paid a big fat amount of around 4 cpl. These companies are the greediest bunch I have ever seen. None of them are worth the ground they sit on.
There are companies that manage to make it work. OTI, for example. nm

Any companies who DON'T make you do voice recognition?

I can't stand VR and am looking for a new job where it is just straight typing like it should be - anybody work for companies who are not jumping on this wagon?


What companies don't make you follow exact schedule?

Looking for a company that allows some flexibility on what time I type each day instead of a strict schedule that I set up.  This is just to deal with occasional appointments or if the kids have a class play I want to see, etc.  Most days a schedule would be fine but I also don't want to be stuck with it!


The company I used to be with was like this but they now require schedules to be followed. I see the point in that but I also know that some exist with more flexibiity!


Any ideas?


 


Thanks!


Thanks -- I'll make a note of those 2 companies and check them out. sm
Unfortunately, I am reaching that ripe old age where I see a crown in my future
Speaking from experience.. you work all day and make nothing. I also have worked for other companies
on Escription and made a lot more.I just came to the conclusion that they do not pay for headers, footers, spaces etc.. I swear I would work 8 hours and be lucky to make $50. It was my first Escription account so when I changed companies I could not believe it. I make in a few hours what took me 10-12 hours to make at Focus. Dont waste your time. They design it so you dont make any money. What a waste of time working there.
Gee, I only make negative comments about companies I've actually worked for
and have the scoop on. I never said the line rate was high for this company, but nice fast software is what saves a good MT's line count. There are plenty of ESLs too, but no more than most acute care hospitals. So if you can't handle ESLs, you wouldn't want to work for TT (or most other hospital accounts). The new accounts are not teaching hospitals, which is good for me because I don't like doing residents. For now there is plenty of work and OT when you want it. So IMO a starting line count isn't the only important factor for how much money I can make, and certainly not the only factor in my job contentedness. They are fair and respectful and use good software, and those are the facts, not theories.
Still notice a couple of companies offering sign on bonus. Does it make you wonder? sm

Are they just an extremely exclusive type company, wanting only the best and willing to pay for it or is there something wrong they have to bribe people to come to work for them? 



I am not sure, but think I am curious enough to apply to check it out.


Could you please provide names of companies where you are able to make required line counts
and then some? I am struggling to find a platform or company which counts lines where a person can make more than 10K or 11K lines in a 2 week payperiod. This is silly.  This MT used to make 10K lines every week. Any and every suggestion would be appreciated.  BTW: Also please if you can let us know here where you cannot meet line count.  You can use initals so you don't get in trouble. Thanks in advance.
I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm

oops

I meant Transcription Solutions


Have read archived posts about their software being not user friendly.  Is this still true?


Oops. SM
Out-sourcing comes up, not offshoring.  What does outsourcing mean? 
oops! LOL
Let's start our own company!!! ... or maybe the OP will take pity on us heehee
oops
Guess I should also know how to SPELL hyphenated, huh?
OOPS! You did it!
The S should be capitalized and DAH isn't a word. Oh my!!
OOPS
OOPS...sorry...was in too big of a hurry. Guess that if people were perfect spellers...we wouldn't need spell check programs FOR THIS PROFESSION. DUH!!!
Oops!

Sorry! I didn't see further on down that moderator had said no posts on OSi for some reason. Guess I missed something that was deleted.


OOPS.
Meant 30% of a 300 line document would be 30 lines.
oops..should have been sm above
nm
Oops!
Spoke withthem today. Sorry, fingers moving, brain not!!! 
Oops again!
I just cannot type today. Spoke with them.....  sorry. I really can type. This is not a good example. Ha! 
Oops....
I mean everyone is very friendly. Also, the system is excellent so far and very user friendly.
Oops, my bad. nm

OOPs
My english grammar seems to have flown out the window with my paycheck
Oops!

Oops!!
I meant to post the previous reply to the one who said someone else could teach you about quality.
Oops..my bad
That's proud TO work for such a wonderful company....TO not FOR :)
OOPS
Sorry, I meant Superior Global Solutions!!
Oops. sorry

I believe that a should be an e in privilege  


I am sigining off and going to bed. 


Oops P.S.
IF you are concerned with burning bridges (always a good idea) and/or will need them as a reference, then perhaps you want to keep a lower profile than I just suggested ;) You can still refuse the severance pay and signature, but keep the sarcasm to youself.

Smile.


oops
and, unh, duh, I used to be able to spell the word but . . .
oops me again!
I know, should be sounds.  I forgot my S.  I forgot to ask, does anybody know where the Axolotl company is located (state)?  Just curious. 
Oops! My bad! Well, whatever...nm

Oops!
I meant this is the only way to get my foot to the right job by going back to school part-time. So many colleges offer online courses that you can do from your home, but of course you have to go to the actual school to take your tests like in math, etc., so you do not get caught cheating. It's really worth completing your education these days. I figured my daughter will be able to come home on her own in about 3 years, so I should be able to find a decent job by then rather than making 6 or 7 cents a line as an MT. I cannot get anywhere with that kind of money.
oops
oops - I think I posted that backwards - you should make more doing the 55 line - sorry!
Oops!!!
My fault, excuse..
