Any Transcenders using Escription

Posted By: TiredMT on 2009-06-12
In Reply to:

I really need some feedback from fellow Transcenders.  New to Escription and not making any money. Yes using shortcuts, etc. But need 3000 lines to make what I did before minimum.  Without compromising quality, don't see how this will work.  Have heard from these boards that it depends on  how many docs you have on account, etc.  Anyone from transcend, help!! Need some advice, tips, whatever, from one MT to another.

Transcenders
How are things these days at Transcend?  (Need a second job)
re: Transcenders
apply, get hired, then you will know yourself.
For Transcenders everywhere...
I have a question... For those who work on Meditech, how long after you were hired did it take them to get you set up on Meditech? Because I'm not on their platform yet I've been doing all my work on Word which sucks because of course there are no medical expansions, just common everyday words. It's been 2-1/2 weeks now and I'm still not on Meditech, when I asked someone about it they said the hospital was still working on it. My question is how long did it take any of you to get set up? This no expansions thing is killing my line count and I can't afford to buy any exp. software right now.
? for Transcenders
Do you work VR or strictly transcription? If you work in VR, do you find it easy to make the same amount you once did when you were transcribing? Do you like working in VR? Thanks for answering!
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.
Kudos to ex-Transcenders...

For standing up to these lousy companies who think they can s*** on us and feed us a line of crap, thinking we're too stupid not to buy into it! I am so disgusted and angry about what I've been reading - if Medquist pulled this on us I'd be outta there in a New York second. You guys are too good and there are too many other companies out there to put up with this kind of bull. Remember, we are in the driver's seat, we can be picky - demand far exceeds supply for professional MT's and you guys are sticking it to Transcend as should all new and old MT's. I also believe MTStars should ban any further job postings from Transcend - it is a total insult to us to allow them to continue to post, IMHO.


Thank you for standing up for yourselves and, indirectly, for all us MT's!


want to hear from transcenders who
have worked on VR and have been able to make at least what they always made, how much they have to edit to do this and how long it takes.  How has your life changed due to this as far as the amount of work it requires.  How much money can you bring home doing this realistically given the hours you work.  No flaming and honest input please.  Trying to figure out where I will stand when I do it.
Question to other Transcenders

when i go on editing, what will my pay rate be if I now make 8.5 cpl?  Also, that will be with NO incentive rate, right?  So, if I edit 1100 lines per day, what will I make per pay before taxes?  Also, how hard will it be to edit 1100 lines per day between 8 and 4 p.m.?  Is it possible?  Does anyone do it?


Thanks for the help, can't figure out all this mess!


Transcenders: What is the AIM platform?

All thoughts welcome.


Question for Transcenders
Do your supervisors work from home or from the Transcend office?
Transcenders - watch out.
We finally had enough work this weekend to keep busy, so now they will hire 100 more people to make sure this doesn't continue.  No one in their right mind would work there for a full time job.  It is fine to work part time to supplement another job, but don't depend on them for anything consistent.  
To Transcenders...I'm confused...sm
I am suppose to train this week to start work for Transcend.  I have been getting the daily emails about account status and it looks like there is work, but I keep reading where there is not enough work to go around, so I am confused.  Is there or is there not work?  I really need to know what is going on before I officially go through training.  and then it is too late.  Thanks.     
CURRENT TRANSCENDERS: Does everyone have
Insurance is critical for me.  I'm a good, steady producer and I'm not averse to having a few accounts at a time or working evenings, which is my preference anyway, so I hope I can maintain the $900 requirement.  All these posts about not qualifying for insurance or losing it because of production is making me very nervous.
Transcenders - we get your work, do you get ours?
I've heard in the conference calls both from MDI people and Transcend people that we get to cross-train to take Transcend work if we get low.  Has Transcend been telling their MTs that they get to take MDI work if they get low?  Curious if they've been saying it both ways.
Transcenders what region
You girls with no work, what regions do you work in?  I work on 2 different platforms, BeyondTxt being one and in both my regions work is plentiful.  I have 5 backup accounts in case things slow down but they haven't on my primary and they are always asking for help on my secondaries.  Not saying you aren't telling the truth, just wondering what region it is.  Do you do more than one worktype?  I know where are some girls in my region who only will do one worktype and won't try anything else.  That makes for a smaller paycheck, I'm thinking.  Just curious so don't flame me.
Transcenders-Per line how much do you make?

Current Transcenders, how much do you make per line and how much experience do you have?


Is 9.5 cpl any good?


Perhaps the new motto for Webbers and Transcenders
should be: BOHICA - Bend over, here it comes again.
ATTN: Transcenders - Pls provide admin.
that Transcend is offshoring, and they will be dealt with accordingly.
Current post-merger transcenders

I would like to hear from current transcenders, who became part of Transcend through a merger (like MDI-FL, etc).


Did transcend maintain your current line rate, and if you don't mind, were you making more than 9 cpl?  If you were moved to VR, how did they calculate that rate?  Did they tell you that all MTs receive say 50% for VR or did they just tell you what your individual line rate would be for VR?


Just to clarify, I'm not asking you specifically how much you make, but rather if they reduced the rate your previous company was paying you and how they determine the VR rate.


Any happy Transcenders out there? I know a couple people have left, not sure why. nm

eScription
http://www.escription.com/services_mtso.htm

I've heard that DaVenture Health Partners was recently made an approved vendor, but as of today they are not posted on the eScription website yet.
Escription????
Has anyone out there worked on Escription?  If so, what are your thoughts.  Can you make any money at it since it pays so much less?
Escription
Does anyone know of any companies that use Escription, OTHER than Transcend and MDI-FL?  Thanks in advance.

ESCRIPTION
Anyone working on escription, could you give me some advice on increasing my productivity.  Sometimes, I do okay and then other days it is so slow going. 
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
If you are employee as above, please tell me how things are there - is it a good place to work?
Any MDI MTs doing eScription
That says a lot. Thanks.
MDI-FL ad for escription MTs?

Anyone work there that can give me more details? What's the pay for editing there, dictators, atmosphere, etc? Also what about the radiology ad? Do they pay by report or by line? Thanks for any help.


 


 


Escription
Do any of you use this platform?  Do you like it?  Is is productive?  Can you give a time frame for the learning curve?  Any replys greatly appreciated.......thanks.
eScription
EditScript is Word based. It's very easy to learn. Works with Word AutoCorrect to save your shortchuts, etc. Very reliable from a technical point of view. Our facility just went live about 98 days ago, all 22 MTs are loving it. Most have already increased their productivity from our old ChartScript days. Does a really good job with speech recognition even with some horrible dictators - consistency among the MTs is key to that success.

Very nice platform, very MT friendly !

Escription
That sounds great.  I appreciate you letting me know that.......I needed to hear something positive.
Escription
I used to work where they had escription but was paid hourly at that point because we had just gotten it. Sorry no help. Good luck!
What is escription? nm
x
Their pay is low for escription, which is
probably why they are always running an ad.
Escription
USUALLY, not always, the doctor puts in the MR number which automatically pulls in the patient name. Some companies have you do a type of search using that number to pull in the DOS, DOB, location, referring doc all at once.
Pay escription
I'm a little confused by the pay. It sounds like they convert edited lines into a percentage of typed lines so you aren't getting paid a per line for editing. I think.
escription
What company pays the best for escription?????  You can get through the reports fast but cannot seem to make the money as well as I can typing!  I like the fact the hands get a break but come on!
Escription
it's okay after you get used to it - haven't come close to the 600 lines per hour that you are supposed to do - and pay for editing is less than half of transcription line pay - but you definitely do not have to type as much - less stress on your hands and wrists. 
escription
It is not difficult to learn but I found it to be slower than regular old typing.
eScription

Can anyone tell me which companies use eScription?


Thanks


 


eScription.
I've used it in clinical and hospital settings.
I only do eScription.
I only work on the eScription platform right now. I've never used Emdat/Inscribe.
eScription...sm
I amm a radiology Transcriptionist and I would like to learn eScripition editing.  Do you know of any companies that offer training on eScription? 
eScription
Go to MT Daily.  They just placed an ad looking for eScription MTs.  They might be looking for editors.  Also, try Lee Perfect.  They are always hiring.
eScription
I have never used it, but if you say it's only editing then you are probably correct. I just saw it posted on MT Daily today.
I Like eScription
I've used eScription, and I really like it.     The people at the company are great.
Well, I'm on eScription.
And frankly I've been using it so long, I can't remember what all it comes with. I have stedman's on my PC and I know EditScript has some of it's own spellcheck things in there. If you contact whomever your supervisor is, they can let you know. :-)
Escription...
an hour can you edit? Is 700 an hour really possible?? TIA
