What crap! I get my lines in and they ask me to work
extra all the time.  There is no way to indicate OT, just total lines, at least on my accounts.  Everything I say can be documented.   You need to get your facts straight before you start throwing that BS around.
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
I make that much $ too but i work very hard. Its possible, not easy.

Not so easy when you make top pay and work days and hours of

Just wondering - how many hours do you normally have to work to make your 500 lines? Thanks! NM

Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines? 
Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC

When you run out of work doyou have to make up lines/hours to keep bennies? (nm)

Make them give you the skinny before you go through the crap. (sm)
Their recruiters are probably the rudest you will meet, simply horrible and so unqualified or uneducated. They are a small company trying to look big. Probably have about 400-500 employes.
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

Are lines easy to get, more typing than
filling in demographics?  Are sound files good overall?  How strict are they on schedule - are they rigid or can you have a little flexibility. 
I hit 1200 lines a day easy, sm
I hit 1200+ daily at Axolotl.  I was reaching my line counts within the first week.  As stated in another message, it could be the difference in accounts/dictators.  I work on several accounts though.
With Transtech, how easy is it to get your minimum lines
nm
1100 lines a day which is EASY to meet sm
I am fairly fast, but I got that 1100 on MY VERY FIRST DAY!!!

Lines are easy to get and I have so much work, it is unreal. I can and want to go all day and past it. I still have 4.75 hours to make up this week, but the work is holding at a high level and they are so low stress, I am not tired right now after 9.5 hours today, just want a break for a bit and a hot meal, then back to it.

I can't say enough good things about this place, I just can't.
if someone puts up with crap for 5 years... they deserve the crap!! good grief... grow a set and get

I started at 0.08 but am at 0.085. The lines are easy to get. For some reason, I type sm
more lines in 6 hours than I used to in 8 hours at a small company in Tampa.  It might be because I have two doctors that I am responsible for and am the only ones that do them.  I also help on two others when their Transcriptionist is off or has too much. 
OSI rocks. Easy lines. 900+ in 4 hours - now wish i would have stayed with them. nm

nothing but repetative phrases, piece of cake. just be easy lines.
and tons of just use my normal templates.

Ever think of that?
I make that on an easy rad account
NM
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
Make it easy on yourself and move to TransTech

EASY to make line count!
My experience was the opposite. I routinely did 1600-2000 lines a day, WAY over minimum of about 1200 lines a day. I can't make that now in my current job, but at Spheris it was easy. It does depend on the accounts you're assigned, though, so I don't doubt that it COULD be hard to make line count at Spheris. Just depends.
Unbelievable! So you have an easy account and make a

decent living, yet you come on this board and trash TT all the time! That really is two-faced. You don't deserve to work for TT!


 


I have an easy account and make a decent living.

And while you are at it, TT Management,


BITE ME!!!  You were fools to file this lawsuit.  $294.50 to lose all credibility in the MT World.  Sad, truly sad...


And many thought you were one of the good guys.


Not easy to make 1000 - lots of ESLs or time
spent looking up addresses, etc. They kept you on because they can't find anyone to put up with the low and steady income.
depends; can make more $ on easy platform/7 than hard platofrm/8-9 cents
nm
Not much. They offshore, too. You'll get all the crap work.

Low line counts; paying long distance; getting crap work skipped by others.

How does one count one's lines on DQS to make sure one's

Hard to make lines

Love Ops, make more lines on Ops than

anything else.  If you haven't done it in a while may be slow going until you're familiar with equipment/procedure terminology. 


Slow way to make lines
A friend has and it was much slower at line production but she had severe carpal tunnel syndrome... so it enabled to her to work is about it.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours!

If you can't make 1000 lines in 8 hours,
in the wrong profession.
They don't expect U to make lines during first 90 days
Hang in there, it will get better, it takes time.
I am able to make 10,000 lines M-F every week at eTransPlus - nm

EDMAT is very hard to make lines.

I make a lot of money/lines at Transcend.
It probably depends on the platform. I love the company; have been there for a while but also worked elsewhere. This company is the best. E-mail me if you'd like
You pay more for insurance if you don't make minimum lines also sm
I left there because of this exact issue. I started having a harder and harder time getting my lines, meaning I got a reduced line rate and had an extra $95-100 on top of that taken out because they didn't pay the employer matching part of the insurance.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours! More time for 2nd Job.

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.

weird pay scale, hard to make lines, can't
make money, currently training women in Trinidad to do our job. 
You can make up your lines whenever you like. Just drop them and email letting them know that you ar

Keystrokers do you find it difficult to make lines? Almost

a year ago I was offered a position with KS.  There were lots of rumors going around about my company so I started looking, but I fell for the lies my MTSO told and stayed put.  The rumors became fact and I had to find another job.  I just cannot make decent lines with new company.   I went from gross line to 65 characters, which by itself can make 100+ lines a day difference.  The platform is boggy and I prefer to do Ops only, but doing everything but due to my scheduled work time and the tight TAT of Ops and I'm just not happy.


I  was hired for an acute care account doing Ops at KS, but I can't remember any of the other details (other than of course pay).   I'm thinking about calling them to see what they may have to offer (they said call if I changed my mind), but don't want to have to start all over again only to find myself in the same situation I'm currently in with no able to make lines.


Also, what kind of Expander can you use.   New job uses SH and I really don't like it. 


 


 


New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this

Uhoh .. does that mean it is difficult to make the 1300 lines per day sm

required for the 10 cpl?  I was in high hopes ... sigh. 


Thanks so much for your help/input.


Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm

Low line counts - difficult to make 1200 lines in 8 hours. sm
25 years of experience as an Acute Care MT and I had a difficult time getting 200 lph with Bayscribe. Any other accounts with other companies, I could easily transcribe 350-400 lph. Not at MDI - very difficult. I loved the account, but again it was difficult to get a decent line count.

It doesn't matter if you pay me 11 cpl if I can't get a decent line count. Couldn't take the 3 x day e-mails either.
Bayscribe stinks!
I also got put on 2 atrocious ESL accts with them last year. Couldn't make any lines. These dudes
