Just scroll down the page
There have been plenty of recent posts on this company. Also, look on page 2, 3, etc...
scroll down the page a bit...sm
low pay, expensive benefits, often not enough work, but nice people.
Scroll down the page, others with you.

scroll down this page for talk of better

If you'll scroll down the page there have only been about
2 dozen posts about them in the past week.  
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX.   I wouldn't call them a small national.  
You have to scroll down to see their ad.
They are not focus.
How far back to I have to scroll?

Never mind; I see now that you have to scroll down
Still loving the 10-12 hours a day for 3 days in a row. Not.

Can anybody figure out what $1.25 per 1000 characters really equals in cpl? Their ad says it ''equals out to about 9 cents a line,'' but my calculations aren't making any sense (probably because of spaces not being paid, I'd guess? ... I don't know how to convert from 65 cpl with spaces versus without).
Scroll down, there is test in the post. nm

Go to your original post. Scroll down a bit and look
for the see related messages in blue.  Click on that and you'll get past posts. 
Scroll down a couple pages (sm)
There are a few posts about them, nothing good that I saw.  I do remember complaints about not enough work and the owner needing to sharpen up on his communication and people skills.
scroll to posts from the date

03-03-2007. Theye are posts from management regarding PT issue.


 


What? There are a ton of TT MTs posting here. Scroll through the last few pages.
I would estimate that 95% of what you see posted here about TT is positive.
Yes, I was wrong in that I couldn't scroll down
person is basically a third party, getting us the work while we can still enjoy IC status, who cares?? Let her do the work, if that's what the MTs who work for her want.   I certainly would rather sit back and transcribe and not handle all the other MAJOR stuff that comes with having our own accounts.  Its a heck of a lot more work than you intimate.  I'd gladly pay for a middle man to handle the big BS stuff, not worth the pennies more to me.  So, to each his/her own, right?  Peace!! Get upset at other bigger issues out there!
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and
go to page 2. There's a list almost at the top of the page. Hope this helps!
Scroll down and read the numerous posts over the
last week or so.  Also dozens of posts in the archives. 
Scroll down the board. This company has been asked about
several times this week, if not every day this week.   Not much info other than they don't pay very well. 
Tons of stuff in the archives or scroll down a
bit.  They have been discussed extensively here recently.  For the most part it is all good. 
They have been discussed within the past week, scroll down and
see if you can see the post.  S/B lots more posts in archives.  Nothing good. 
For icons scroll down to "post reply to this msg"
.
If you scroll down you'll see lots of info.

try holding cntr down and using mouse scroll.

Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company
nm
click on your post and then scroll down a bit and click

on related messages.  You'll find posts there and also there have been posts within the last couple of weeks if you'll scroll down. 


There is nothing good to say about SoftScript.


 


I don't see that on their web page
nm
Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page

To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc.  You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference.  Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines,  as they could both be half a page?   That is just my opinion though.   Could work in your favor and could not.  If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.


 


 


 


I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....

Keystrokes is really popular right now. 


you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies.  Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line?  If so, could you please email me.  Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.
