Last year it was around 7.5 to 8 cpl for straight transcription, though there's not much of that left anymore. Most is VR, which runs about 3.5 to 4 cpl.
Lines per hr. requirement was in the neighborhood of 250 for VR, but their accounts are weird and so is their software, so it's hard to meet that quota.
They don't pay overtime, but you'll still have to work it (for free, undocumented) in order to make your daily quota.
Supervisors are decent, but QA is nitpicky and rude. Very few monetary incentives are offered, and in order to get them, they have to pull your name out of a hat. So much for fairness.
All in all, working for them was a nightmare. I'm making more on unemployment than I was actually working for them.
Thanks for the info...not big on taking tests unless it is a job I would consider - GeeGee

I work there part-time 9:30 PM to 1:30am. Work is plentiful on my account during those times, in fact, they are hiring for anywhere from 9 pm to 3 am. The pay isn't the greatest, but I only supplement the household income. I love it there. My supervisor is great, the training staff, as well as everyone from India that I interact with, they're awesome. That being said, if you still decide to test, feel free to use my name as reference (email me and I'll give you full name) (referral bonus!). It's the best MTSO to work for, it truly is.
Being the best out of a bunch of dishonest, - cheating shysters isnt all that great.
about this company - tested, passed, need to make decision within 24 hours. I acted on impulse or maybe desperation when I applied. Really don't know the company. Can anyone offer anything please. TIA ...
All right, anyone work or have worked for this company in the past..........and have any feedback for me? I will be testing for them soon and want to know what I'm getting into. They look to be a bit better benefit wise than Softscript that I just interviewed with. Input appreciated, please. ...
I have seen some posts where people want to know about Acusis. I will tell you what I know and about my recent experience with them. The Human Resources person, Susanna Sovek,is located in Pennsylvania. My supervisor was located in California. The IT folks are in India and the CMT's are all over the place. You are given 3 weeks of "training" as per the "roadmap". The first week you are paid $180, the second $240 and the third $260 provided that you are meeting the criteria of 99% accu ...
Been there a year, always had loads of work. The past few weeks have been agonizingly slow. When I ask supervisor, I get told it's the nature of the beast, feast or famine in the industry. Something just doesn't seem right to me. Would appreciate any info. Thanks. ...
I'm wondering how is it working at Acusis. Pay scale is "funky" being you get paid less if your work goes to QA, but otherwise seems reasonable. I searched and the only thing I turn up is stuff that is from 2009, so looking for fresher info.
Thanks in advance ...
Does anyone know what qualifies an employee to receive benefits at Acusis? I realize one needs to be a full-time employee, but I'm wondering what this entails. Do you have to produce so many lines or make so much money per pay period? Are they decent benes? Would appreciate any info.

Today is a do-not-hyphenate day.
And be sure to mark your calendars - as tomorrow is a special day!
Not only is it once again a hyphenate-everything-you-type day, it is ALSO a put-as-many-commas-into-every-single-sentence-that-you-can day. The fun and excitement never stops at Acusis!

How much does Acusis pay for clinic accounts? Do they pay for training? And lastly, can you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 with them? Is 64-bit acceptable for each? ...
Has any Acusis employee felt some desperation with Acusis lately? I know that some accounts are really being monitored by the hospitals and they are not happy right now, but some of the things we are having to do are starting to slow down production.
It makes me a little concerned for job security. ...
Last year, there were some changes made at Acusis and a group of MTs left at that time. I was wondering if any of these MTs found a "new home" they are happy with. I felt DRC was very good to its MTs and wonder if there are other "jewels" like it was out there. ...
Well now, don't all we US MTs at Acusis feel better after our quarterly meeting? After being informed of all the new accounts signed on, we are told that, of course, they are going to India. But this quote they left us with should soothe us. "In times of great change the learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves uniquely equipped to operate in a world that no longer exists." KMA! ...
