Beyond text is okay, it's pretty fast I think.

Bayscribe is pretty fast
MDI-MD uses it and I think one other company.
They were pretty fast with my DD. Mine comes in on friday w/ DD
:)
Doesn't matter how fast you type.. SM

That has nothing to do with the ratio.  I agree though that it does depend on the dictator and how fast they type, but it's true that the standard is 10:1.  I have some that I get more like 30:1 and some 5:1 so it averages out. 


You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
I know.. she's pretty ridiculous and doesn't make much sense
You don't want to steal their expansion program, right? You just want the expansions that YOU thought up and that YOU put in. Not a problem in my eyes. Just figure out where the file is, copy it on to a disk or a little flash drive or something.
This still doesn't answer the question, does it? nm
nm
Thank you, but that doesn't really answer my questions.
nm
Nope. She just doesn't answer me. nm
nm
Sorry, should be doesn't seem progressional to not answer resume
XX
This doesn't seem to answer the question about the "comapany".
x
Look on page 2- J&J owner doesn't answer sm
direct questions.  As I said there, the OP gave enough specific information that I think it is absolutely true.  Who knows if this is the only company also.
Doesn't explain why the work has been so low for 6 months.
It only makes sense in the context of this week. Hope WX is not about to MDI us.
Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.

You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible.  Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period? 


Doesn't sound too bad to me with 7 months experience. I have 26 years' exp and get 11.5. nm

Sten Tel pays promptly
StenTel's management does not play any games. They pay on time.
My e-mails are always answered promptly
I really enjoy working there and have no gripes. Did you bring the incorrect paperwork to their attention?
Actually your ASR rate drops to 70% of your regular sm
rate, not 35%. If you do not like ASR, ask your STM to be removed. You have a choice whether or not to use it.
She is nice and she does pay promptly and in full, but the pay stinks.

.


8.5 cpl. Only get 10 cpl when a new acct is first starting up, then it drops back down to 8.5. nm

30 drops to 20 an hour on VR - that makes sense! nm
nm
Ok. I could handle once as a mistake if explained promptly and fixed. Twice? I would run sm
as fast as I could. Twice in two months? What if you never get paid at all? You would be better going with a national while getting your own so that you have benefits and a steady paycheck. Start your own accounts slowly so that you start right.
Keystrokes drops a mini bomb the day before payday! sm

I know to some this is not much, but the DAY BEFORE PAYDAY, they send out the paystubs with an email saying that starting this check, they will be taking out double premiums for the added vision and dental since it wasn't done before.  It only amounts to $30 I wasn't counting on but the timing really sucks!  It would seem more appropriate to warn folks that it will happen with the next check.  I only got my freaking cards last week.   As I said, to most, $30 is not that much, but this hurts. 


Then of course at the next payday will be the lovely treat of waiting extra days to get paid.  The 1st is on Saturday.  Most companies would go ahead and pay that Friday instead but not Keystrokes ........ you can sit your broke behind at home all weekend and wait until Monday.  That will happen 2 paydays in a row. 


TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.

I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.


Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!


TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL

This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now.  You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day.  Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily. 


That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING.  Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech.  Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc. 


The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us.  The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!


Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up.  I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills!  I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work.  Is everybody sending work overseas?
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't
nm
That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore

He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?

Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.


Run as fast as you can,
I'm supprised she is still using the same name, she's been known to change names in the past. 
RUN as fast as you can the other way
the person you mentioned is the biggest phony, lazy, bs artist, hard work, low pay
RUN I TELL YOU
abusive once you are there a while
Run as fast as you can....
I used to work for them though not on the radiology account. I knew two girls that did work on the radiology account and they hated it, but she had no one else to work. So they had to work horrible hours and the CEO was constantly pestering them to work more (they both have since left). Their line counting program counts short too. I had to work 12 hour days when i did work there just to make any money. They play favorites with the MTs, the office staff treats you like crap when you do need something, you will never make more than what you are hired in at and the list goes on.
RUN AWAY FAST!
This is probably one of the worst MT companies out there. I made the huge mistake of working for them just over a year ago and ended up quitting after only a month. You won't be dealing with anyone except people in India. You can't understand a word they say and they constantly will harass you through Yahoo IM asking when you are going to work and why you are not working, but when you needed to IM them for tech support, they would take forever to answer, if they even answered at all. My experience was that they are very, very rude to their MTs and all of their QA and account managers are in India. I was scoring at least 98% on all of my QAs, but they kept telling me that I needed to improve. There are much, much better companies to chose from. I would stay far, far away from this one. I ran and never looked back.
run away fast
run far far away from SoftScript as fast as you possibly can! Its true you can't believe everything you read here, but trust me when i say everything said about them is the truth!
RUN FAST!!!! sm

Late payer...and will lie and say she sent the money and didn't.  You can tell by the postmark when you finally do get your check.  Also, there is a line count discrepancy.


Save yourself the trouble.


Act fast
Terri Davis is in the process of selling off her accounts and is screwing both companies buying AND the MTs, due to her psyhopath ways.

Act fast on your legal action. MTs and Editors get the heck out now before she cons you into unemployment.

she is truly a sick and evil person who will stop at nothing to look like the intelligent person she is not.

BTW... Shelly (I won't put her last name, but you will know who I mean), is Terri's COUSIN, by no way a REAL MT.
This is truly a run far and fast
Worked for them for 2 weeks in March--haven't yet and will never see a penny of the $150+ they still owe me.  I gave up asking.  Don't believe their ad that they offer MTs a great whatever--blah, blah.  A word comes to mind: ruthless.  Just my input.
i'd run far and fast
I have had 2 friends work briefly for this company.. both promised one thing and received something totally different that was not acceptable at all.
How did you get off QA so fast?
//
Not so fast
There is a difference between OSi or MQ, or some other MTSO willingly offshoring and a hospital/client moving offshore for financial reasons.  Not all these moves are controlled by any company or management, they are controlled by the clients.  Some hospitals will request offshore for financial reasons, others forbid it.  To say that OSI offshores big time makes it look like they did it. . . this is inaccurate..
Not fast enough
Hear ya! I thought it was just me. Type 120 wpm use all my expanders, burn my brain, and can get nowhere near $25 an hour. I would imagine anybody who is getting $25 is possibly blessed with an account from heaven? Not so here. Have a nice weekend!
RUN AWAY!! As fast as you can!
They are the most unhappy bunch of people I've ever met or worked for. I lasted 2 months and it felt like two years!
Run away, very far, very fast. sm
Do a search on the board. Mostly bad stuff.

You can do better.
Run. Run as fast as you can.

Me either-Run away as fast as you can-NM

PLEASE RUN AWAY FAST...SM
sent you an email.
Run away, fast!
I had the extreme displeasure of working for this company a few years ago when they bought out Cymed back in the summer of 2006. They offshore all of their work, treat their MTs like second-class citizens, and I was almost always running out of work. My pay checks were always getting screwed up and I could never get in touch with anyone in the office and, when I finally did, they were usually very rude and ignorant. Like I said, I haven't been there in almost 3 years, but I have heard that they are even worse now. I have been with the same company since I left SPi and I am a million times happier!
Run away, fast!!!
This company is horrible. I worked for Cymed until they were sold to SPi. I left there in February 2007 and never looked back. They treat their MTs like second-class citizens and they were constantly running out of work because they offshore so heavily. Management was constantly changing and my paychecks were screwed up often. This is the LAST place you want to work, trust me!
I should have said .09/,04..too fast...
.09 for straight/.04 for VR but 80% is VR and 20% is straight typing.
