Any TTS workers who... - TTSMT


Posted: Feb 23, 2013

work on the account that starts with a B and has 6 letters?  Could you please email me your yahoo messenger ID so we can keep in touch in case I have questions as I have seen the efficiency in which "the team" gets back to me.  I would very much appreciate it.  Thanks.

Have noticed you have to respond immediately or even before yet when you send something it can take a week or even longer or sometimes not at all.

How is the account so far? I too will be starting soon and am a little "scared".... it seems intimidating?

Are you going to be working on the above account? - TTSMT

I work on the account that starts with B and has 6 letters. It is a bunch of hospitals that include the states of AZ and AK. That said, so far it is ok. I will not lie and say it is a piece of cake because that would not be accurate.

My recommendation is to read and reread the account specs. I took notes during my training and the webinar and I think that helped immensely. I was intimidated too and still am to be honest. I only started this past Tuesday.

Take advantage of the time you will be on 100% review and ask all the questions you can think of because once off that they hardly answer any questions. At least that is my experience. I hope this helps and have a great day!!

Yes I will be on the same account I think! Can I ask how you like the platform? How are the dictators? I am awaiting training but thank you so much for your advice! I hope you continue to do well!
I worked this account before Nuance farmed it out to you guys. - anon

There are some horrific ESL on the account and each location has different instructions you MUST follow because they complain loudly when you don't.

Good luck to you.

What are average lph on their platform? Any averages or ideas please?
Depends. - anon

Escription is pretty good as far as VR goes, however, this account was pretty heavy on ESL (depending on location) and if you are switching between a bunch of different locations within their system, the account specs are different for each of them, which obviously slows you down, as they are PICKY!!!

For me, a good day was 300-ish lph and 200-ish on a bad day.

when I started telecommuting full time.It finally penetrated my consciousness a couple of weeks ago that every year, when it came time to renew my auto insurance policy, I used to get a call from a local agent, and we'd go over the policy, making sure there were no changes. One of the questions was always how many miles did I drive to and from work each day, along with the current odometer reading, and the estimated number of miles driven each year.I haven't gotten one of those calls i ...

They Want Third Shift Workers, But....
Dec 12, 2011

So sorry for the rant, but I am so tired of companies wanting us all to cover third shift, but don't want to pay anything extra when we do and if they do it's something like a quarter of a penny, what in the world is that?   I know I shouldn't complain, but this shift is HARD to work, especially when you have little ones.  Just a little frustrated tonight, and I know there are people who have it worse than I do, but I don't have anywhere else to vent.  Thanks ...

Question For Spheris MQ Workers
Feb 19, 2011

I recently accepted a job with MQ. I will be working on Spheris accounts/platform. I have read many compliants about DQS, but have not found many comments regarding the Spheris platform.  Spheris workers...are you fairly satisfied with your earnings? Does the VR system do a pretty good job?  Do you think it is a mistake to have accepted this job? I hate to job hop and do not want to start a job if I don't stand a chance at earning a decent living. Also, does anybody know the ...


American Workers Have Changed--And Not For The Better
Nov 08, 2011

I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore.   &nbs ...

Any Current Accentus Workers???
May 20, 2013

I will be interviewing soon for a position at Accentus.  I want to get the opinions of any current workers.  Do they run out of work often?  Is the Apex platform anything close to the Escription platform?  Is the STAR team really worth the extra per line or is it too much to take in?  I have seen posts on here from last year, but want to see how they are currently.  Any input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks. ...

New Commercial Regarding Workers' Rights & IC Status

Once the pharmaceutical ambulance chasers get on the subject of IC versus employee, I have a suspicion things are gonna ...


To MTSOs: Pay Your Workers A Wage They Can Live On,
May 12, 2011

"production", and watch quality improve. Or, if still determined to pay on production, then acknowledge overtime worked (you know we do it, you just don't want to acknowledge it, or pay for it), and increase cpl earned beyond 8 hours. Offer higher cpl for years worked for your company. Reward loyalty, and your workers will continue to be loyal. Blow them off, and they'll blow YOU off. Pay MTs more per line for typing horrible-quality voice files. Pay them more for ESL docto ...


Co-workers Signing Off Shift Early
May 16, 2011

Do any of you have this problem? There are several us on one particularly account. They will either sign off 5-6 hours into their 8 hr shift (saying they've met their minimum quota)or sometimes on weekends just leave work not done til the next day. I have the last shift and have to stay until all docs are finished no matter how late. Therefore, I get "mop up" duty every day. Any helpful suggestions? Oh, by the way, they "cherry pick" the short reports and I get left with the extremely long ...
