I guess if you're suited to
work on a less than adequate platform and like to run out of work all the time Chronicle is a good match for someone.
LET'S GUESS, YOU'RE 2ND SHIFT..RIGHT?--nm
Yeah, I guess you're right sm
I shouldn't have used the 'sweat shop' analogy. It's just that the last company I worked for were notorious for 'line skimming.' There was that and now this. It just seems like how low can it go. I've been ouf of the industry for two years. I guess most of you have had a chance to digest these changes.
You're right though - ANY work is better than NO work at all. I guess that's the price we pay to work at home typing medical records.
What's a girl gotta do to earn an honest pay for an honest living, these days! :)
Not an O but I guess they're dime/dozen. nm

Hehe.. you're right. And I guess in some cases
Except maybe 'screwed' or 'raped' might be a better description.
Sorry - I guess we're getting to be like the Indians - we don't understand what we read
or type.
Sorry. You're right. I guess I should have read that message more closely.
Name the source
If it's someone we're familiar with you might have help in getting paid.
The source is:
The American Dictionary of the ENGLISH language:
Word Definition

catastrophy
CATASTROPHY, n.
1. The change or revolution which produces the final event of a dramatic piece; or the unfolding and winding up of the plot, clearing up difficulties, and closing the play. The ancients divided a play into the protasis, epitasis, catastasis, and catastrophy; the introduction, continuance, heightening, and development or conclusion.
2. A final event; conclusion; generally, an unfortunate conclusion, calamity, or disaster.

I have never heard of your 'hard' book?'
Maybe it is the 'Hard' book of the AMERICAN language. I do not trust your 'hard' book.
Shouldn't this at least be Hand' book ?
I told you already that BOTH WAYS are acceptable.
SecureMT Source
If you are still interested would be happy to share my experience
More than one smart-source. sm
The smart-sourcing involves more than one hospital. It is a good fit for me. I had to try a couple of places and a DR smart source account is an excellent fit for me. There are not mutiple recruiters either, and to suggest the recruiter comes on this board as an MT is comical, to me. I think she might be busy DOING HER JOB. Try it.
SecureMT source
Just wondering if anyone works for SecureMT Source or MD-IT out of Louisville, KY. What platform do they use, user friendly and will it work with my Instant Text?
Thanks in advance.
Can't say how I know..third party source..
but I just looked at their site and I don't see where it says they don't offshore work...they do. Yes, they are US based but they do send work offshore.
Any info on SecureMT Source?
Please!
Be realistic - not everyone can get the smart source
account because not everyone lives in the states that are applicable to those accounts. I was stuck doing the multiple cruddy hospital accounts. It would have been fine if I could have stayed on one hospital, but I was jumped from hospital to hospital and hospital. Let's face it, it gets pretty damn hard to get a 1200 line count when you are being jumped from one account to another to another throughout the day. But I'm sure there are super transcriptionists with every company that can do it; I'm not one of them. I had no problem reaching 1800 on one account, but I had to be left ON ONE ACCOUNT to get to it!
And to the poster above - yes, the recruiterS (with an S) do pose as employees on this board. So keep on laughing. It's not a big secret at the company.
Any info on SecureMT Source? sm
I cannot find much in the archives. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
Name your source and the total quote
Its irresponsible of you to suggest that Obama (or McCain for that matter) wants to put records online implying they could be unprotected.
So name your source, and the entire quote and then WE can determine what the position actually is...
source, please? In my hard book
Webster's there is only an e, no y. Need to know if this has changed and I don't trust Google on everything.
Sorry - meant, "Consider the SOURCE.NM
okay nervous nellies, consider the source and their agenda
there are so many people that want to see the 'giant' fall -- they throw out statements with nothing to back it up -- hoping everyone runs scared and they can help MQ fall. Well it ain't gonna happen. You provide no facts. Every thing this company is doing shows it is improving and getting stronger. So go cry in a corner and quit the chicken-little theatrics of "the sky is falling!!". MQ is the biggest and getting better and has a lot of happy MTs that are too smart for your antics.
No way. I work there and have asked a very reliable source who would know. nm

I dont know how this "main" India source is, do you?
All I know is that the Indians are partnered up with Transcend. They are sharing work with our overseas partners as the supervisors call them. What a slap in our face.
Further away you get from primary source, more chance for errors
But can you explain what you mean by true QA editing? Isn't all editing of VR true editing? Or are you QA'ing what has already been edited? Sorry - clear as mud I know. Hope you get what I mean.
the "Smart Source" poster has posted the same exact
response many many times. Keep in mind that the only reason you got a Smart Source account is because you lived in a state that allowed you to work on that account. There are MANY OF US that live in states that cannot get Smart Source accounts.
But I'm probably not responding to a Transcriptionist but rather a recruiter for DKR ...

Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help

You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

The more people that quit, the more work left for me. I love it when people say they can't take doing MT anymore.

Guess you are not doing your job right then.....

My guess...
I may be wrong but my guess is that this is CorT. I have been with them only 4 months but I have many MT sisters who have been with them longer and love it.
I guess Everyone Else....
Since no responses, I guess I am the only MT who works for a national that charges for templates but doesn't tell you upfront or put it in a contract....oh well....time for another company!!!
I guess when you look at it that way...

I guess it was just me...
but it came off as sounding like the stereotype of slaves on the "plantation" - it just didn't sit right with me...

SO AM I. Spaces my XXX. Maybe you but not all of us for sure. Pay on time. Come on, talk about not telling the truth. Last couple of times maybe, but until everyone started screaming on here came whenever. 
Guess what... sm
I am not management and they are a wonderful company. I have heard and read bad things yet I have worked there for quite some time and I have never seen any of what you say. They are nice people and they would not fire someone for being sick or family emergency. There has to be more to that story. TH rocks!
Of course I don't guess!!!!!!!!!!!
No, there's no guessing medical transcription. These dictators are clear as a bell!! A wonderful company to work for.
