Does Oracle (OTI) have a 24 hr minimum for part time? - Most places want at least 24 hrs for PT
Posted: Nov 08, 2012
Do they? Also what is the required line count for part time be it daily or per pay period?
Thanks in advance.
It's on their website (link enclosed) - MT

I dont know if you work for them or not, but assuming your do or anyone else who comes along - How easy is it to get your lines out?
The reason I asked is because I once worked as an IC for a company with a horrible, horrible platform and I dont think they paid for spaces and platform was very laborious; so long story short it could sometimes take 6 to 8 hours to get in 4 hours worth of work.
So my question is if the platform fairly reasonable to work on be it Bayscribe or any others they may use? And do they pay for spaces or can you get your lines done in a reasonable time frame?
Thanks.
I'm not the OP, but to my knowledge they only use Bayscribe, sm - Colorado MT

and it is super easy to use, and yes, they pay for spaces. The multispecialty clinic they are hiring for is not the greatest, but you should be able to get your lines in for the week with no problem. I think part time minimum is 3500 lines a week. Good luck.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. - Hoping to get a PT gig thats IC.

Easy to get on Bayscribe - I averaged 350-400 lines per hour. Very easy platform plus you build your own glossary. Also they pay all lines for normals, or they did when I was there. Super place to work.

Can you tell me why you left?
I'm considering applying with them and want to know the good and the bad.
Thank you!

I got a job that paid more money and couldn't pass this up, same kind of situation as Oracle with no schedule, etc..... But if I hadn't, I'd still be at Oracle.
dmz- Would you share - name of company where you work now?

Would love to know the name(s) of places that offer true IC work. Thanks you!
I wanted to ask that too, but I assumed it was probably one of those things nm - pepple usually do not share :(

I almost went to work for them.... One of the most unprofessional companies I've encountered. And unless they've changed it recently, be careful of their contract.
Can you elaborate a bit more regarding - thanks

the contract please, what do we need to be careful of?
I can elaborate - best company ever! - Nothing hidden - sm

Please note that person "almost" went to work for OTI - one of the GREATEST companies I have worked for in years!
I found not a thing hidden in the contract at all. Easiest contract/paperwork ever to sign and send, all done online and no printing and faxing/mailing. As far as lines, you simply put in your schedule what you expect to type on any give day 0 or 2000 (if you are that fast LOL).
Bayscribe is very similar to DQS. Tech support can and will help you set it up and also import your word AC short cuts into the platform for you. Bayscribe is also very compatible with Instant Text shortcut platform if you have one.
My brief history: I'm an MT of 15+ years. I worked for my mentor for 15 years, had my own accounts as well as other pickup accounts during that time. In May 2011 my mentor lost our account and I had to move on. I tried one company at 7.5 straight type, allowed cherry picking, QA was nasty and not helpful and stayed there for 5 months, quit as my family was going without. Got a job with ESI who sold to M*Modal within a month. Tried really hard to stay with M*Modal, but it is as horrible as the posts you read. I finally found OTI in April 2012 and I can't imagine working anywhere else.
Unprofessional? I think not! The sisters who run OTI, Iz and Lynn are great! Very understanding and helpful. QA is the same and I have not gotten a single "nasty gram".
I did a few reports on the new account they are hiring for and had no problems, but was asked to stay on my main account as they needed/wanted me more there.
I hope this helped answer some questions you may have had.
Really? - anon

This new clinic account has terrible sound quality. If the sound was better, then the mumblers would be more tolerable. Not surprised that the company has posted a job ad for this account and that enough current ICs don't want to work on this account at this crappy pay rate. If this was a breezy account, then 7-1/2 cents could be tolerable, but it's not. You would have to consistently transcribe over 260 lines per hour to make $20 an hour. And remember, this is for IC status, with no benefits, no paid time off, no taxes paid.
This company keeps dropping it's price per line and I'm betting they are not bidding these jobs at that low of a price. It's just that they are able to get away with this.

How Many Employees Make Under Minimum Wage & Use A Time Clock? Jun 27, 2014I recently started working for a new MTSO and am employee-status for the first time. We use a time clock.

My concern is: How many are fired because they don't meet the required volume for fear of FSLA suits? Is this still happening like it was a year ago?
