Why does TTS constantly have ads on for MTs. They come on - MT

Posted: Dec 26, 2012

anyone elses on here, if anything I make 4 cpl for VR and 8 for straight and from what I see here, other places offering less right now. Oh, by the way, on that "low pay" I am able to make over $20.00 per hour so I do not consider it too bad.

Weren't they offering 3 cpl? nm - MT

Low pay is how you compare 2 companies. Low pay (or no pay) is what you get with a company that offers 6 cents a line but has NJA most of the time, OR, you can make 3 to 4 cents a line with a company that NEVER runs out of work. You'd be amazed at how fast it adds up to a decent paycheck.

I would rather - work for the company that

pays 6 cents per line and keep a part-time gig on the side (not MT related and outside the home) before I take a job for 3 cents a line.

Im sorry, but I just dont see that adding up to decent pay check. Where I work, running out of work is usually not a problem unless its the holiday season (like now) but even then, I think thats industry wide for this time of year depending on what shift you work, mainly 1st shift.

If you are able to flex some and work in the evenings, then you can get the majority of your hours in. No way could I even imagine working for 3 cents per line. Thats ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

Never offered 3 cpl, started off at - PR

4 cpl, 3 never talked about. I do well enough with what I make. I am able to edit, type with the speed as fast as it can go and therefore able to make what I want.

VERY, VERY low! - No thanks

Straight typing is only 6 cpl. I turned down a job with them a few months ago because the pay was an absolute joke. Don't even bother!

Same As Other Offers - Outofmymindyo

I've had nothing but a good experience with TTS. They offered me what any other company has offered me in the past year and the account I'm on is easy enough to edit at close to 600 lph, transcribe at 300-400 lph.

Approx pay at TTS: 3 CPL on Escription, 4 CPL on the other platform. I can't remember the name of it. I think it's EditScript.

Escription, Ediscript pay? - PR

They are 1 in the same. I am paid 4 cpl.

So sorry, meant to say Dictaphone instead of Escription. nm - Bear

To add...they pay about 1CPL more for Dictaphone than Escription. nm - Bear

So it is 5 for dictaphone? - P

Would have to be as I do escription and it is 4. I make more than minimum wage or just would not bother with this type work.

It depends on what acct you are on also. - KP

Perhaps you're on the one that beings with "B" or the one that begins with "P." Those paid more when I was there.

Yes...nm - Bear

Been there.... The pay is so low that in the end, you make less than - minimum wage. nm

Not Really Sure Why - Outofmymindyo

[ In Reply To ..]
I live in the state with the highest listed minimum wage in the country, and I usually easily double that by doing my normal editing at TTS. I still haven't figured out why there are so many MTs that can't make any money at ALL doing this job. I didn't make much money when I was first doing this because I wasn't very disciplined about it, but even now with three kids at home to take care of I still average anywhere from $20-$40/hour, depending on how much I keep my butt in the chair of course.

$40/hr editing - Baby

[ In Reply To ..]
I think NOT.

Perhaps You Don't - Outofmymindyo

[ In Reply To ..]
But there are plenty of MTs on my Facebook and in the chatroom that I frequent who can attest to it. I have no need to prove it, I'm just saying that there are those of us who DO make a good living in this industry, because we work hard for it.

So you edit 1000 lines per hour, 8000 lines per day... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You can't even listen to the audio that fast, much less edit & make corrections. I'm sorry, but it's impossible.

$40 Editing - josie

[ In Reply To ..]
Can you explain how you can make $40 editing?

Maybe your pay is low but - PR

[ In Reply To ..]
On my first hour finished today (all at 4 cpl), averaged $24.00+.

Does anybody else get emails of updated account specs or just in general about how this is now changing in the MT world and things such as hyphens are being phased out, among other changes to make the document "more readable". I wonder...all these changes to how we are supposed to do our jobs, yet the only changes to what we are paid to do our job is a negative with pays dropping instead of going up. I say it here and I can say it so many times, if somebody can sit in an office and c ...

So you want MTs to transcribe and edit VR who are skilled and experienced? You want someone to be a mind-reader with your ESL dictators with no help from QA? You want a reliable person who is going to work nights, weekends, and holidays for this pay? Here's your problem keeping a good MT. You pay 4 cpl for VR and 7 cpl to transcribe. At the same time, you expect nothing from your clients. They are allowed to tie up an MTs time with garbage to t ...

I took a job with another company thinking the grass was greener because the accounts were major and the work was there but the platform sucks and QA is picky as hell. I am a good MT and been doing this years, years in QA with taking MT jobs now because the QA jobs are not there. This is my sole income and I can't survive. I like the platform and steady checks at Keystrokes but the work just wasn't coming in, they wouldn't give me a secondary, and they continually hire ...
