Question for Transcenders: Lots of work?

OK - I'm a straight typing transcriptionist who wants to explore VR - seems most people hate it - I'd like to try it and see. My company doesn't offer it. Are there any companies what have editing on Bayscribe currently? What is the best VR platform to work on and which is the worst? (Don't know the difference in any of them) Have heard of Speechmagic for Bayscribe (but who has it?) eScription and Exeditor at Transtech (? where else) and how's that? and ...

O.K. I have checked out the 3 schools that were recommended. Two of them require 45 wpm I am not that fast yet. How important is this? Approximately how much money can you earn in an 8 hr day doing office notes? When a company test you are they looking for a 45 wpm or better to hire you? Thank you grannieof1 ...

A job dribbles in here, a couple hours later a job dribbles in there. [Sigh!] A person can only file their nails for just so long ------ !! ...

I have noticed Accentus has been hiring pretty consistently, it seems, since maybe November. Anyone know what's up? MTs jumping ship or new accounts on the way? Just wondering, since they were bought out a year or so ago. I have been thinking of applying with them for a while but don't want to walk into the middle of a messy transition. Thanks in advance! ...

Really enjoy transcribing Ops, but Ops have dribbled to few and far between and mostly brief reports on my accounts. Whatever happened to all the detailed op notes I used to get. Bored to tears with H&P, DS, and consults. TIA. ...

All of sudden there's lots of work. Seems to be no end to it. It just keeps flowing and flowing. I hope it stays this way. I wonder what happened. ...

I spend enormous amounts of time doing clervical work for free at the beginning of a report..looking up doctor names that are not on the lists we have been given, figuring out which is the date of admit, consult, etc. If everything was programmed in and we just had to download a report and transcribe, we would be making a lot more and if the speech recognition would stop putting words down that the doctors are not saying so that we do not have to clean it all up we would have more time to ...

I have been on this report for 2 days now. I have managed to figure most of it out but I am really lost on one paragraph. After she dictates all the information under Physical Examination she goes into another paragraph describing more of the patient's symptoms. Is there supposed to be heading before that paragraph? Also, below is a few sentences from that paragraph that I just cant make out. Any help would be great. Thanks again. Tone is normal no clog whealing. Degenerative reflexes ar ...

1. Under procedure, doctor dictates BMP collagen was used. It is ok to abbreviate BMP or does it need to be expanded? 2. She was transferred to the prone position ______ (s/l an aquired) frame? 3. We carefully exposed the subcutaneous tissue and we _______ (s/l sub crossed) the dissection off the level _______ (s/l synchreala) and the transfer processes of the L5, we exposed the spine. I know this is probably a mess. =( I am new at transcribing and really new at Op reports.&n ...

very rare that I get 100 straight typing lines a day, let alone 400 anybody else? ...

She uses lots of tampons and this is definitely a "claudiolise ssue" ?? ...

Mmodal is sorry they got rid of all those dreadfully horrible, worthless, and incompetent MTs who could not score 99.6% on an audit. The 20 or so who could are undoubtedly overwhelmed. Serves them right! ...

as they ramp up for summer. Having people off means we have to work harder and more OT because we've just been having such an easy time of it. Warnings and threatenings. All they know. Turn around times not being met? It's because we're so lazy. Hiring all the time? Still not enough staff; never enough staff. Cheery picking; never addressed. Rotten VR; never addressed. Never knowing what work, which doctors, or work types your're going to be doing anymore; never addressed. Co ...

I am glad to see that some kind of movement is finally happing regarding a decent minimum wage. But something else I'd like to say is that I read somewhere (not here, but on the Huffington Post or somewhere) that Chelsea Clinton said she "does not care about money." Then the article went on to say that she and her husband Mark just bought an apartment in New York City around Gramercy Park for 10.5 MILLION DOLLARS. Nice to not have to be able to care about money. We'd just l ...

Saw this posted over on the MQ board and thought it merited attention on this board as well....Be prepared. http://forum.mtstars.com/190192.html ...

The company MLS site states that QA uses BOS3. Are there enough differences between BOS2 and 3 that I need to invest in the latter? ...

Is the $900 per pay period reqiurement before or after taxes? Thank you in advance for any input. ...

After reading all the negative posts here about other companies I'm glad to be working for Transcend. How about you? I just started there last month, but so far so good. I'm curious about moving up in the company to a TL position. I got an email the other day from the recruiter saying we can apply even before our 90 day probationary period. I'm just wondering if people really get hired for that position being so new to the company. I'm sti ...

I think I'm getting the hang of BeyondTXT now. I haven't run out of work so far, so that's a good thing, not to say that I won't, but haven't yet. I'm doing ER notes right now. Gonna be given more worktypes next week though. I'm building up my speed slowly but surely. How is it going with the others new to Transcend? :) ...

for another MT gig and/or resigning since the new plan has been rolled out to us? Just curious, don't know how many of us actually look here and I rarely post. Just trying to consider it from all angles, pros and cons, options. Taking quite a hit in pay. In any case, wish you all a peaceful holiday season. ...

Never use to see that many ads for them now they have one every single week. Are they that busy? Lots of new accounts or what? ...

Have you noticed more doctors are chewing and slurping while dictating lately? It just dawned on me today, probably some non-MT employees are treating the doctors to Christmas candy at their dictation stations. I used to see that a lot when I worked in hospitals. Ugh! ...

Does Transcend have an incentive plan and would you explain it for me? What were you hired at (base rate)? Do they have any VR work and what is the base rate for it? Thanks. ...

How many of you receive no raises and/or even rate cuts while management receives increases equivalent of complete salary packages, bonuses and the company offers $78 million to buy Spheris? ...

Hi MDIers/now Transcenders: Curious to know if anyone else is starting to feel as demoralized as I am by the recent highly offensive/rude/appalling brow-beating emails sent out by (MDI-MD) TLs? Has anyone noticed the push for total workaholism with even working through funerals?! Did they all take a class on how to make everyone feel like crap about their job? A new ROM mentioned there is a decrease in MLS production that she doesn't understand - I would put ...

Has DD always been this full of hot air? Just from her messages on the mls web site I am afraid I would have to doubt anything she ever told me. What a joke! ...

Since PTers don't earn PTO, how do you handle taking days off? I'm considering a schedule that will involve most weekends (to supplement my FT job). While I don't need to work as much as they require (20 hours), I do need a little extra spending money. Will taking off a weekend day or 2 a month be a problem? Has anyone else had to deal with these circumstances? Just want to know what I'm getting into. ...

On the new platform will you be able to see your line count as you go along or do you still have to go look it up the regular way. At Webmedx it kept a running tab of your lines on the top of the page and you could kind of pace yourself. I really liked that. Also, have they put out a schedule as to when each region will be going over to Encore? ...

You will be "offered" lots and lots of OT every day, and asked to mail in your committments for every weekend. It is not "mandatory", but if you do not do it, you will be written by your SM asking you to. Same thing. So tiring, day in and day out. Guess I am not a "team player" because I feel I was hired to work 40 hours and any time after that is "My Life Time." ...
