For those who've transitioned to Fluency from FutureNet - anon


Posted: Oct 25, 2013

I know it's going be a big paycut from straight to VR, but how do you like the program?  Have you been able to increase your lph at all with VR? Curious too about our new TSM.  Thanks for any info. 

yes just came over a few weeks back. - sorry not good see inside

please do yourself a favor and until you are off 100% QA go at a snail's pace. check each and every document. you are going to be paid at minimum wage if you go over your training hours allowed. I learned this the hard way. My lines were excellent, i thought i was making tons of $$$. Wrong. Since i was still on 100% QA they were docking my pay 3 cents per line. Yep you read that right i made 1 cent per line for about 2 weeks. I was told it was because I "needed some extra time" but truth is I wasn't the only one. I think they do that so they can cut your pay. Got my check, it was a whopping $540 for 2 weeks...minimum wage.

after I got off 100% I have averaged my pay for the last 3 weeks and average about $12 an hour. I'm in school and actively looking for another job. I can't pay my mortgage on this salary.

As far as your question, I love the program. slick as butter. I love being able to see past reports right there in front of me, pulling up google with a few keystrokes. It would be an amazing job if the pay were better and standards were not attainable. but I think we are going the way of the dinosaur and M2 is trying to hang on for a few more years by cutting our pay with really no choice but to do so.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Anyone Has Yet Been Fully Transitioned To DQS 6.1?
Mar 09, 2012

I was curious whether or not anyone has yet been fully transitioned to DQS 6.1?  Like the age/gender discrepancy feature or the banned content feature?  I keep asking my CCM and really getting nothing in answer.  I just wondered if this has completely fallen by the wayside or if its something that my CCM just hasn't activated yet.  I feel so ridiculous having taken the training, waiting with baited breath hoping for an easy way to make sure that drs got the gender and age right and just ...


Transitioned To Nuance

Has Anyone Transitioned From Working
Jul 30, 2012

for a hospital that has sold out to Nuance to working for Nuance and watched with disbelief what they do?  Has anyone watched them try to manage the account without asking anyone who works/worked at the hospital for suggestions, for instance, how to staff and cover busy days, evenings, etc.?  Or QA, when they don't know the doctors but then send out emails with QA tips that are just wrong - yet they STILL don't ask anyone who works at the hospital or just plain igno ...


Transitioned To P-scribe Now NJA
Feb 23, 2013

Our high-volume hospital dept just went onto Powerscribe after many fits and starts.  Everyone involved expected the MTs to get reports to edit but it looks like the doctors (who fought tooth and nail against this) are very happy with editing themselves.  This has left the MTs with little or no work.  It's only been a week.  Has anyone found that the novelty wears off and the doctors stop doing most of the editing?  They have the option of editing themselves, having ...


How Many Nuance MTs Have Been Transitioned

Just curious if the changes are limited or wide-spread.  This was another attempt to fool MTs that Nasty Nuance was looking out for us by annoucing they were excited that Capacity Optimization (WHO THINKS UP THESE NAMES?)  would ensure we would not run out of work (by placing MTs on ugly accounts they could not keep staffed).    ...

FutureNet - What Is Up With Them
Jun 11, 2010

Not sure what is up with them.  They have several ads again but there is absolutely no work for us long timers.  Suspect they are hiring newbies and paying less to get the work done.  BTW, do not ever expect an increase in line rate.  You will NEVER get one.  Also do not expect to attain those bonuses they talk about in the ads - they have now made it impossiible to reach that level by maknig work unavailable, once you get close to making the bonus you can expect to see no work available ...

If Anyone On Here Uses FutureNet
Sep 25, 2012

Wondering if anyone on here uses FutureNet (possibly the glitchiest, most annoying transcription software ever created).  I use it at work.  When I started using it, it seemed to have a pretty good medical dictionary in it -- recognized all the medical terminology and almost all of the drugs, so I ASSUMED that all that was included.  So now we have a newbie, and when SHE uses FutureNet, it marks every single drug as an error (red wavy line), as well as all the medical terms.  I'm to ...

The ding at the end of the report.  I know it's crazy but it was strangely comforting.  Ding! you are done! Now sometimes I have to look at the slider (atrocious orange versus comforting Futurenet blue) to be sure I am at the end and not just playing dead silence.    What do my former Futurenet buddies miss? ...

FutureNet Interview

Hi group!  I have a job interview with Rita at Futurenet tomorrow.  The reason I am looking is I am really tired of constantly running out of work because my company over hired and now we transcriptionists are just out of luck!  I am in my 4th year with my current job and suddenly can barely hit $100 a day.  This is really sad when there is no loyalty to their employees.  Now from what I have been reading Futurenet is the same???  I read from this group how they run ...

FutureNet Is Hiring?

I just posted this on the wrong board (Job Seekers, what an idiot I am).  Anyway, I'll try again here.  Does anyone know if the position FutureNet is hiring for is for an oncology account or acute care?  I would like to apply but not sure I am qualified.  I'm looking for hem/onc job.  This is sort of confusing to me.  I have never seen a company ask for acute care experience if it is for oncology transcription.  Any information would be appreciated. ...

FutureNet And No Work Available

Picking up from a thread earlier this month that is buried.  Does anyone have any knowledge as to what is going on with this company?  Many of their accounts always had limited work.  For at least a month, even the biggest accounts have had very low report counts.  Has the traditional transcription gone over to the VR side?  But the VR side is also low on work.  I have only noted job ads for VR in recent months.  You are required to give the company a set sched ...
