Does eBTXT ever get better? Starting my third week - wannie


Posted: Apr 08, 2013

and dislike it more than I did the very first day.  Is anybody really making more than they did before?

Of course someone is making more than they did before: Nuance.

I think it has gotten worse. Formatting is a wreck, have to reformat so much, numbering things in middle of paragraphs, it does not know the indentions other than numbering, all subheadings are still bolded when report pulls in. If the dictator is a mumbler forget it. My hourly line count used to be almost 400, now it is less than 200. So they definitely have this rigged.

Yes, it does get better. I thought the exact same thing. One issue I have with the new migration is the voice loop. Way too many physicians with way too many long, long pauses, eating, or chit chatting in the background and wasting time. Another issue is the ease of speeding up and slowing down the dictator I used to have. Just have to get used to everything I guess. But, I migrated in December and have seen an increase in my pay. Just hang in there.

May I ask what platform you were on before? If it was T-mode I can see you making more money but if you were in BTXT you probably are not really making more money and I will tell you why: When Nuance bought Transcend and the BIG phone conference happened they told us that because they were dropping the base line rate, they would make up the deficit by compensating us temporarily. Then it's the hourly rate for all that training we did and conference calls. You'll be back to your regular pay in no time because all this stuff is going to settle down and no extra $$. EBTXT stinks and they know it. They rigged it that way so we would not be able to make incentive.

Way To Save Voice Files In EBTXT?

I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game.  We are treated as less than second class citiz ...

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents. The time czar wants schedule changes, but I see no problems with turna ...

Mar 05, 2010

Hello, I was interested in becoming a MT because I recently became a mom and would like to work from home. Can anyone tell me the best way to get started? Is there a class/ school you recommend? Or is there a book I can study and take a test to get certified? I am financially strapped so which would be the best for me? I currently work in the medical field in the ER as a Doctors Scribe so I have quite a bit of medical terminology. Thanks for your input!  ...

Hi. I am new to MT boards here but wondering about how one would start a home business. I have worked for companies as a subcontractor but wish to advertise for myself and get some work from local doctors on my own. I would likely need a mini transcriber if I have to pick up and drop off tapes, but how does one do it over the internet? Would there be a way to get it through email set up of some kind with audio wav files that they could dictate to and I access it from there and just type and emai ...
