Is there any other VR platform besides Escription that you can make money on? sm - yochana


Posted: Jun 16, 2010

I know everyone loves Escription, but just wondering if there were other platforms out there.

Depends on how you define "making money." - I am gradually getting faster on

the dreaded BeyondTXT at Transcend. I am making almost what I was making doing straight typing, and am hoping to continue to get faster as I go along and get more practice.

How long did it take you to get to that point? - VR newbie

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm just curious how long it took you to get to the point where you were feeling more comfortable and back to your regular income level. As my thread below notes, I'm new to VR and liking it, but wondering/worried a little about the transition and its effect on my checking account. Thanks!

I'm only 2-1/2 months into VR. - So I do hope to keep getting faster

Does Anybody Make Any Money At This? Sm

I've heard of more MTs NOT making any money than making money.  I've worked from home before but had to work full-time from home and part time at the hospital just to pay the bills then ended up quitting at home and went back to the hospital full time because I could make more money working from the hospital 40 hours than working 60 hours between the two.  I loved working from home but I couldn't make any money at it.  But at the time I only had 2 years' ...

I type my butt off full time and don't make anywhere close to $2k a month. This is the first time I've gotten to see it since it's the first time they've had enough work for me to make my line count. They don't pay for spaces, plus they have a weird way of counting lines. Time to send out resumes. I am not typing my way into carpal tunnel for this pittance they call a paycheck.

Hey MModal, You Know How You Can Make Money!?
Nov 08, 2013

Take all your suits, the ones raking in a quarter million to a million a year with bonuses, etc, and cut their pay in half, and that is still being generous.  They don't need to be paid that much.  With all your fancy business degrees, you would think they would teach you some common sense.  It seems that they teach you how to squeeze as much money out of a company and its lesser employees before running it to the ground, then move on. ...


Can You Make Money With VRE Editing?
May 08, 2014

So I have been working for private doctors for the past few years.  Prior to that I worked for national companies doing straight transcription.  Rates back then were 8 to 10 cpl, with 8 cpl being pretty low.  Now 8 cpl seems to be where companies tap off.  I am seeing that the companies that pay 8 cpl for straight transcription also offer 4 cpl for VRE.  To be honest, VRE sounds nice to me because it will save my hands a lot of pain!  After 14 years of being an M ...


M*Modal - Does Anyone Make Decent Money With This?

I have been using M*Modal for about a month and a half now and I was really trying to give it a shot, but I am really doubting that I can ever make good money with this program.   I used to be able to transcribe approximately 25 min/hour and these were docs that went pretty fast, so I usually got 250 to 300 lines/hour @ 9/line, so I made about  22.50 to 27.00/hr.  Now with M*modal, they dropped the line rate 4/line and there is just no way that I ...

Those of you who claim to make TONS OF MONEY TYPING....  You are not straight typing MTs under regular circumstances IF I believe you...and I don't.   You probably work 7 days a week, all hours of the day like most MTs.  You DO NOT work a regular 8-hour day, 5 days a week and make that much money.  If that were true...there would be much more competition.  The only perk is being at home.  Period...End of story.  Stop trying to sell me your ocean front pro ...

Hospital Job Paid On Production. I Can't Make Any Money

When did hospital jobs get almost as bad as working for a service?  When I have had hospital MT jobs before, we were either paid hourly, or hourly base pay plus incentive.  It was possible to make $22 to $25 an hour. I have also worked on production for a service and for myself and I can usually do 200 lph very easily, 250 lph if I'm concentrating, 300-350 lph if I'm concentrating and getting good dictation (that I'm familiar with and know what they are going to say ...
