Ahh, there is light at the end of the tunnel! Just hope I am not jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. :/

Where you off to, MT? Another company or out altogether? - just curious - nm

Know the feeling of hoping that I'm not jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. I did enjoy working when it was eTransPlus. Since the buyout by MQ, work flow has plummeted. Can't pay the bills that way. Had to do something.

I'm happy for both of you - good luck - anon

No matter where you both end up, it will be better than this. I'm so sorry you both lost jobs that you loved - even more sorry that it was to a company who would've never appreciated you.

Good luck to both of you - I hope you will stop by to give updates on how you're doing and to give the rest of us some hope about there being life after Medquist.

good luck! - peachey

I think you will like Transcend. I was at Etrans when the Q bought them out. I'm now at Transcend and I'm glad to not be working for the Q. I miss the ease of Etrans, but Transcend has been great. I have a lot of work too! They will give you other accounts too, but I only have to work on 2 to make my lines and most of the time the 1 is enough :) I hope you like it there!

Thanks, did you have a hard time...sm - wasHappyMt

learning the platform? I am nervous to do the SR, since we know eTrans was all straight transcription. What expander program are you using? I downloaded the 30-day trial of Shorthand 9 (not 10, I wanted to keep it the same as eTrans) then I had the eTrans tech guy send me the file I had created in Shorthand for eTrans to transfer over so I did not have to re-enter all my expansions. Will this even matter when doing speech rec in BeyondTXT? Please give me a heads up on training if you can. I start 12/27. I am excited and nervous. Thanks so much for the reply. Anytime I see another old eTrans person, I feel like we are old long lost (and severely wronged) friends!

life after medquist - does exist

I know none of us get paid by the hour, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever figured out just how much you earn per hour, based on a 40-hour week. I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in. I seem to be earning $16-18/hour give or take based on how my week goes. ...

My transcription job was always paid by the hour. I was laid off and they recently offered me a temp position with them making $12.00 an hour. I was also offered a positon that pays 7.5 and 3.5 cpl. The $12.00 is employee status for a small local company I worked for over 9 years. The other is an IC position. Do you think I would make more with the $12.00 an hour or the per line production rate? I have never done production by line work so I'm not sur ...

And they wonder why my count is not up to par??!! I told my QAM that my production depends almost entirely on the quality of the ASR (of which there is none!). I am also so sick of the fact ASR will not output "the patient" and will only output patient. And, I know if I don't add in every single little "the" or "a", I will be dinged and shredded. It still can't get "HEENT:" correct anymore. Along with the fact they haven't fixed the ADT question mark problem they caused over ...

Hi Everyone:) Is anyone else having trouble getting work tonight? I am on 3 accounts, and all I have gotten since this afternoon is 3 jobs. My main account has no work and my 2 secondary accounts have no work, and they told me that they give first pick of the jobs to the girls who work primarily on my 2 secondary accounts. I have the other secondary accounts in case I run out of work, so what good is it to have those? Sorry, just need to let it all out. Thanks ...

ASR has gone slap crazy tonight. Just had a female dictator who has been on ASR for a while, usually very good reports. 11 minutes of one big ole solid paragraph, took 45 minutes to strighten the mess out. How in the world can we make money if we only do 1-2 reports every hour. This is just insane, every ASR so far into this shift has been problematic. ...

It looks to me like a 50:50 blend of pros and cons regarding TTS on MT Stars Company board. I'm a glass-half-full type gal, so looking forward to interviewing tonight. Before I do, I'd love to know opinions on eScription vs. Dictaphone platforms. I've used eScription in the past and hated it, due to being constantly badgered about using the mouse. I refuse to give up my mouse. Some people are faster with the mouse, others with keystrokes. Wonder ...

If you can't hear parts of the dictation, leave a QA marker. It looks really bad when the client is on 100% for ILPs and all you did was copy and paste an old progress note with a few changes to the impression and plan. Seriously?! Did you listen to any of the dictation? Cuz it didn't come close to matching up. Sure, the dictator was difficult and hard to hear, but I could hear enough to know that what the ILP typed didn't even come close to what was said, ...
