I am considering a position with DSG. I've seen a few things on here, but they seem to be from QA. I'd like to know what it's like from the MT side of things. Do you run out of work often? How is the tech support?
I'm also curious about pay. I have been with the same company for 10 years and I don't think I'm paid very well at 7.75 cpl (haven't gotten a raise in 5 years). My accuracy rate has always been 98% or better.
What is the average pay per line for this company? How often are raises given (some places do yearly evals)? PTO? Holiday pay? Bonus/incentives?
I have 10+ years experience and an associate's degree in medical secretarial. I'm planning to get certified this summer.
Any comments would be appreciated.

typists
OK, I'll be quite honest and say that I started out as a typist. I never took any classes to be an MT. I bought some word books and sent out my applications locally. I was hired by both a transcription company and a private doctor's office within a few weeks.
However, with that said, I now do consider myself an MT after almost 25 years in this field.
I'm proof that somebody can do this job without the prior official training as long as they have good typing and English grammar skills.
I have many friends who have spent their hard earned money going to MT school. Their skills are no better than those I've acquired over the years on-the-job.
I've worked for multiple MT companies over the years and transcribed just about every type of report there is.
Being a typist doesn't mean you can't transcribe.
Indian typists, not dictators... BETTER THAN VR, not perfect nm
