Transcend only pays 55% of line rate for editing...

Posted By: Current Transcender on 2005-09-02
In Reply to: the pay for voice recognition/editing is better at MQ than Transcend - MT

I could have dealt with an 80% cut.  I think that is a very fair rate.  That is my whole point.  I do not have a problem with the fact that they are moving to ALL editing.  I have a problem with the cut being too large.  I think 6 cpl would have been fair.  That allows you to make a decent wage, but 4 cents is absolutely ridiculous.  If voice recognition is the way of the future, at least MQ is doing something right, at least trying to be fair.  Transcend is just greedy!!

Can someone please tell me what is a fair rate per line for speech rec editing?
Thanks in advance!
What is the average line rate for eScription VR editing? I have
heard so many different things that I don't know what's what?  Also, for those of you on eScription, what is the averages lph that you are able to do.  TIA.
do you find being paid per the minute pays better than per line pay rate?

Thank you so much for your help!


She means Webmedx - which pays VR at 70% of your normal line rate. nm

Transcend pays 3 cents per line on holidays, plus sends a handwritten card to all
employees. I have worked for many companies and I have never seen a company that cares as much as Transcend.

E-mail me if you'd like more information.
Transcend - Avg line rate for acute care?..and more....
Do they still run out of work a lot?  Pay on time?  Direct deposit?  How is their VR editing versus straight typing - do you like it, make enough $$$?  Is the platform user friendly?   Any info is appreciated!
To the people at Transcend that had their line rate reduced by 40%, have you checked with any
attorney to see if this is legal. I didnt realize a company could just reduce your income like that with no advanced notice and that be legal. I know I would be checking with someone on the legality of doing that.
From the current editing rate not typing rate

Not true, MQ pays 8 cpl for editing.

is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?

MQ pays 70% of your MT rate. More than anyone else.

They cut the pay to an editing rate of 4 cpl..nm

Editing Rate
A lot depends on what platform you are editing with. Escription is clearly the best. I get paid 3.9 cents per line for editing, and I am very happy with that rate. With eScription, I can edit at about 500 lines per hour. Sometimes higher.
Editing rate
Is 2-2.5 cpl for editing an MT low?
editing rate

Is 3cpl for editing a good rate with editing people, not VR?


MQ pays 60% of transcription rate for VR.

What is a good rate for editing ASR
I'm sure there are many different platforms, and I don't have any info on the platform I will be using, but I have been told on the account I currently work on, I will soon have a choice of editing Speech or typing.  Can you all share recent experiences with Speech platforms and per line rate?  Thank you!
MQ pays hourly. Their starting rate
was the highest of all the top nationals who are still paying hourly, plus they provide all your equipment, pay for your internet and the benefits are great.  
Webmedx also pays 70% of your current rate. nm
.
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm
no msg
VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.

Medquist no longer pays hourly rate for QA - that

It is MME.  You do QA for 3 cents a line.  Then when that runs out, which it does, you do Editing at 5 cents a line.  And you also get straight transcription which is 8 cents a line.


Was in the pilot program and got more Editing and straight Transcription than QA. 


No more QA department for MQ. 


It depends on if this is editing other MT's work or VR. If VR, that is a good rate. nm

Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average

You have to go to NJ to train and pick up their computer & she pays a low per-page rate. nm
s
Webmedx pays a flat training rate for 3 days. nm
.
Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
Does anyone know how Transcend pays out
Their $1000 sign-on bonus?  Thanks so much!
Transcend pays still
one day, 4 hours with trainer = $60.00
Pays per page, top rate less than what I made 10 yeasr ago, benefits high
.
Who in the heck pays you that insulting rate. As Dr. Phil says, "Are you kidding me" LOL
There is no way. I cant get over it, 2 cpl a line???? just pennies a line what an insult for your time. I dont care if you are an old MT or newbie that is ridiculous and when people accept that kind of pay it just drives down the cpl for all of us. I mean heck if they can get people to do it for 2 cpl, why pay 5 cpl so they can pay their bills. That just blows my mind. You'd be better off working an 8-hour shift at McDonalds.
transcend and editing

Is anyone here editing on Transcends beyondtxt and if so please let me know how your pay compares to the transcription side.  Are you making more, less, the same? 


Thanks


Transtech pays as much as Transcend

Oh, they make money off us. Line rate is 17 cents a gross line.nm

Question about editing for Transcend?
How easy is the editing for transcend?  Have you edited for other companies?  How does it compare.  Thanks!
TransTech Pays for Internet does Transcend?
I just read that they reimburse for internet, does Transcend do this too?
So, Transcend pays half of MT rates for ME?

Transcend pays hourly or at least they did a year

I think Transcend pays hourly for training for
But, I think the training is Monday through Thursday and I think you do 10 reports a day.  This is how it was last year, but I'm not sure about now. 
Transcend pays for experience and I thought the
They have quite a few accounts.  They are a large company. 
I left MQ for TT. The base line rate was less at TT, but overall I make more per line with the
shift differential (I work second shift) and the incentive plan (I have never once failed to make at least an extra half cent per line on incentives - most of the time a penny). I was scared to death to make that move, as I had been with MQ since back in the Transcriptions Limited days. I have to say, though, that it was the best career move I have ever made and I have never, not once, regretted it.

I hope that was of some help.
the pay for voice recognition/editing is better at MQ than Transcend
Transcend only pays 60% of line rate, at least MQ is 80%.

Is that true?
Who pays by the gross line? Anyone?
xx
AllType pays by the line
:)
Or 1.5 cents a line for editing. nm
 
Editing daily line count
What is considered a good hourly line count for editing?  I'm being asked this by a service....but our hospital pays by the hour and by report, not by lines.  I'm trying to come up with a reasonable number.  Thanks for your help!
