spent looking up addresses, etc. They kept you on because they can't find anyone to put up with the low and steady income.

lots of ESLs
 
TRX but lots of ESLs

1400 lpd over 10 days? How easy is that to do with all the ESLs there? nm
b
Yup, lots of ESLs.. I like the company though and
after a while, once you get used to them, they are not so bad. Sometimes, I find the US physicians worse with mumbling, etc
Only problem: Lots of ESLs.

Easy money makers if you can understand.  Lots of times you can't and have to leave blanks. 


BTW, I am a little leary of Indian docs giving me a psychiatric evaluation.  They come from a company that worships rats, cows and giant phallic symbols.  They are going to tell ME about my sanity?  Puhleeze. 


Scary that so many of them are going into psychiatry here, isn't it?


yep, same experience, LOTS of ESLs! nm

Lots of ESLs and not much work. nm

Yeah, Baby, lots of ESLs
ZZZZzzzzzz
Indian owned - lots of ESLs -

Not lots of ESLs and they are mostly pretty good. It is
the American dictators that are horrible, but there are other issues with the account.  
if easy platform and few ESLs, you'll do okay with same doctors daily.
nm
Posters from 2006 on the other board liked them, but no DD, and lots of ESLs. IC only. nm

I make 950-1000 per week

I am an employee, only 8 cpl with incentive over 1200 lpd, work a strict 8 hr/day, 40 hr/wk shift.  I do work on only one account, about 75% op notes, although it is a very large teaching hospital so still have a very large variety of dictators (currently wrestling with my list of 500+ new residents for this summery).  I have full hospital benefits.   It is possible.....


$700 is very good, except as IC you are losing 7.5% in having to pay your own taxes.      


I used to make that $1000 a week but
that was in 1989 or 1990. Wish on.
I cannot believe anyone would make $1000.00 weekly after taxes.
That is very good pay
If you can't make 1000 lines in 8 hours,
in the wrong profession.
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm
s
I was just curious because I have had some people tell me they make over $1000 every week and that
seems impossible to me. 
The last time I heard, they were over 500 and plan to be over 1000 by the end of next May sm
because of new accounts, expanding accounts and I think buying two smaller companies at the end of this year. I have a good source, so these are accurate.
Are the ESLs really bad and can you make line count?
nm
Pay isn't bad, but alot of ESLs. Hard to make money.
NM
with KS make sure you know the platform/account/equipment/ESLs;
nm
Full time empoyee status only -- 1000 lines/day, 10,000 per pay period.

T-C - full-time is 1000 lpd along with a "rough estimate" schedule of what hours you'll wor
It's pretty nice.
I make that on an easy rad account

I make that much $ too but i work very hard. Its possible, not easy.

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.


I absolutely love it and make lots of $$$ on it. sm
Been working with eScription for about 6 years now and absolutely love it. Would not want to go back to straight transcription ever.

I also make great money with it ~ at least $50 an hour, consistently.

I count my blessings every day!
how is the company? do they pay direct deposit? do they have heavy ESLs? Do they pay on time?

??


depends; can make more $ on easy platform/7 than hard platofrm/8-9 cents
nm
$1,000 a month would be part-time and easy enough to do.
Most people don't consider it good pay, but it's a reasonable goal if you have a spouse or supplemental income. Even as a newbie, $1,000 per month divided by four weeks is $250 per week. That's 25 hours at $10 per hour, or 125 lines per hour at $.08 cpl.
Posts on pg 2 here and lots at bottom of page 3 make them kind of iffy. nm

Anyone use TimeTrax as a time clock? Easy, hard,

your time is coming . . . easy does it when first hired on with TransTech, of course.

Do you think they are going to discourage you on the very first day of hire.  NOT.


Obviously, you are one who is getting cherry-picked reports, but your time will come for the difficult dictators just as we all get.


So glad you enjoyed your first day.


They do pay on time & have lots of work sm
but I found it difficult to make any money there. They use a Word counter, which is definitely short. Some TATs they have are unreasonable. Because of the way work comes in, your work day could be stretched from 6 in the morning to 9 at night. I like to work with a set schedule, so it was not a good fit for me. They may have different platforms now.
Pay always on time, platform is easy, they've always been nice to me, do have several accounts to
avoid running out of work.  I do MT and QA.
There is a time clock, but LPH is easy to achieve and bonus is not done by that any longer. SM
Much better than E-time, if that's what the Evil Q still uses. No worries.
I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm

the people are great.  I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.



Which is it? No changes since bought by Transcend or lots of changes? It seems that every time sm
someone says that there have been a lot of changes, someone comes on and says there have been no changes. Is this one person saying this? Obviously there have been changes, there would have to be with a new owner.
They are a waste of time. Lots of posts in
the archives.
Lots of us lost respect for QA quite a long time
Especially when no 2 can agree on the same thing. Easier to just ignore it and get on with our work. Besides, if we didn't make what you consider to be 'mistakes', you'd be out of a job, wouldn'tcha?
Probably brand new. Lots of new graduates get out there and try to start businesses all the time. nm

Good company, lots of clinic work, pay on time.
