Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.

Spaces are about 27% of a 65 char line

55 char line with spaces
Ok guys how does a 55 char line WITH spaces = to a 65 char line.  I was offered 8 for 55 char line with spaces and counts underlines, bolds, hard returns etc.
55 char line with spaces
Is 8cpl for a 55 char line with spaces and double counts for bold, underline, etc a good rate.  Sorry, but i am used to getting paid for a 65 character line.  What does this equal out to?  Does anyone know how to figure it out.  TIA!!
8.5 cents per 70 char/line with spaces
Does anyone get paid like this?  Is this good?
The rate was 9.75 cents, 65 char. without spaces. No thanx! nm

Is a 55-char line without spaces good?

Does anyone know how a 55-character line WITHOUT spaces would compare to a 65-character line WITH spaces?  Which one is better?


The average 65-char line has more than 10 spaces.
Your math is flawed.
Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
PS - pay based on 65-char line, SPACES INCLUDED. SM
Also paid for weekend work, 2nd and 3rd shift differential. Bonus plan based on production.
Northeast Transcription says that FT is 32 hrs/1000 lpd, but 70-char.lines with all spaces and

The norm in the 80s was 4 cents per Gross Line, not 65 char with spaces. nm

Is 8 cpl on 65 char with spaces,header, footer good rate for IC work?
Want to accept position. Wondering if that's a good rate today. THank you
They use MedRite software, only offered 7-8 cpl on a 70-char. line w/spaces. Supposed to offer

I see they pay on a VBC line. Isn't that a huge paycut from a 65-char. line with spaces? nm

Read the archives. Hardly a day goes by that

someone asks info on a company that was just discussed the day before.  There are other forums besides this one too where you can get info on companies.  Post your resume on the various job boards.  There are companies that do not post ads but hire from the resumes.   My current position I was hired from my resume and I have been offered a couple of other positions from companies who contacted me from my resume who did not post ads. 


I work for a good company and honestly they are not hiring.  Other MTs do seem to get upset when people will not tell them what company they work for.  I don't believe they are afraid of losing their job to someone else (at least for the most part I don't), but they don't want the company to overhire.  There are many posts on the boards about people not having work for days on end because companies are overhiring. 


All you have to do is read the archives.
Overall it seems that most MTs are very happy.   BTW I am not a TT MT. 
Read through the archives. There have

been posts about them just above every well.  They are an Indian run company. 


Read the archives. I did QA and did not like it.

Read the archives and then RUN.

Why not read the archives?

If you read through the archives you'll see not
much good about this company, especially from people who refused to listen to the issues that others had and went to work for them anyway.  They offshore big time, constant turnover.   I wouldn't consider it.        
They were actually one of the companies I was looking at until I read the archives..it seems
they haven't changed at all with the negative responses this time around.  Thanks for the warnings! 
If you read the archives you should find what you are looking for, although

you won't find much good about them.  


If you read the archives you won't find much

good about them.  They switch you from account to account. They have had management problems for many years.  Their line counting is difficult to figure out and they dock you for lots of things.  They also offshore and are currently training women in Trinidad and somewhere else so you know what that means.   Some of their accounts are teaching hospital and I worked on one of them and the dictation quality was horrendous.  If you're a newbie I doubt they'd put you on it though. 


There are worse companies out there, but I still wouldn't recommend TRS. 


 


Read the archives. Someone else just asked about
them this week.   They are not a good company. 
Read the archives. Lots there, most of it not
good.   Someone else asked about them this week so scroll through the board. 
Read the archives. Someone asks about them
almost daily. 
You must do a search and read OSI archives

read the archives. also, low work
times outside of the holidays is just plain poor staffing, which can be done so that everyone has enough and the work is kept up. It has been done. Problem is, getting people to do more when there is a slam. No incentives for it? they won't come through. company solution? overhire.
Plenty of bad if you read the archives, but the
fact that they offshore so much is enough to keep me away. 
If you read the posts in the archives you

will run as fast as you can.  They are not are reputable company and I'm not even sure they are a transcription company at all, but a front just to rob you blind.  We call them TransScam. 


There are multiple unresolved complaints with the BBB. 


Read the archives. Doesn't pay much, you
pay expenses and get reimbursed. 
Also not true, sorry! 65char with spaces...
We use Word count, and count 65 charachters with spaces while working in Cquence.
Read the archives, lots of info there.
 
Read through the archives, horrible company.
The dictators are some of the worst ESLs, sound quality is horrific, the reports are so bad I had to basically retype them, flaky QA, management problems, etc.  
Read the archives. Many posts, none good. nm
 
Have read archives, but can any current TRS employees ... SM
share how it is there now, specifically whether the required line counts are doable and if they generally have good accounts - also about the benefits.  Thanks!
I found Medgarde, but read in the archives...
that they don't pay for spaces and make you pay for their platform. Is this still the case?
Did you read post? OP didnt ask if pay for spaces.

Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company. 
Precyse Solutions -- I've read the archives and I'm looking for updated ...
responses. Is there anybody here that's actually happy working for Precyse? Are most folks making decent money there?

Thanks.
Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
