Anyone care to venture a guess as to why volume reports are missing from Transcend's MLS page?. - anon
Posted: Feb 20, 2012
It has been reported to tech support, so my guess is it is not a technical issue, but rather intentional for some reason. Things that make ya go hmmm...
Wondered the same... - Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

My TLs are awesome at sending out updates at least once a day, usually twice, but I like to see the red shrinking through the day.
I'm missing any reports that were transcription. I believe I have all my correction reports listed in statistics. Has anyone else had this problem today? My payscale is low enough, I don't need to be ripped off!! ...
The hospital (client) of the company I type for, just updated their system. This was a so-called big deal. I was excited because they use a program that I know has potential to make a lot more shortcuts and less mouse use available for the MTs, that they did not utilized, but today, I started typing on the "new updated" version just to find there are more fields I have to fill in on the patient profile screen, there is more mouse use, and more looking up, and going out of the program ...
I assume health care is investing in programs that they think will enable them to eliminate having to use editors. However, we all know that doctors do not have the time nor the patience to edit their reports and their non-MT staff are not qualified to do so.
I spent a day documenting errors that would be left in reports if they were not edited. 75% of them contained erroneous diagnoses, conditions the patients did not even have a history of, which included STDs and head lice - thin ...
How does it work when a company advertises that they pay per page? How on earth would I know what I would get paid? Wouldn't some pages have just a little and some a lot?
Like this ad on the job seeker's board... "Transcripts are 25 lines, expanded font, indented speaker tags, $1.10/pg" huh?? lol

I must have missed something. Today I get an email telling me I have to go through some certification process to work on an account I've been working on for the last several years. Was this mentioned prior to this? Nothing was said on the last conference call about it that I recall. I think this is getting a little ridiculous. First the mandatory conference calls, now this. What's next?
Seriously, I'm about ready to quit. Maybe that' ...
I tried to verify my line counts by doing a copy and paste into word from their system. The only way I can come close is if I exclude all those "automatic" headers that are included in the templates. Does anyone else experience that? This really knocks a lot of characters out of my reports. ...
I have a question about Smartype and I will try to make it so it is understandable:) I bought Instant Text because I had to have some way of moving my Smartype over into Word 2007 (I had Word 2002). I have Instant Text turned off until I learn the new platform on the new company I am with. My problem is this, the Smartype line will not move with the page so when I get to the bottom of the page it covers up everything at the bottom and I can only manually move Smartype by scrolling back up ...
I am looking for a FT job with benefits and steady work. I am considering applying to these 2 companies so I am hoping some will share their experiences good and bad so I can have something to compare to. I currently am working on eScription through a local hospital as an IC so I wanted to apply at companies that I knew had eScription as I feel I am most productive on this platform. ...
I did quite a bit of reasearch online for coding and I am confused. If there is an experienced coder who can help a seasoned CMT with training and certifications needed to land a job as a coder, it would mean a lot. TIA!! ...
I received a W2 from a company called Venture Resources Group, LLC, and I have no clue who they are! I worked for a bunch of companies in 2010 and I'm not sure which this is as it's not the direct name of any of them. Tried to contact an obscure phone number to no avail. Anyone have a clue about this place? ...
I am interviewing for a job that would be three days in office and two days at home. They requested my salary requirements, and would like to know what I would charge per page and half page for work done outside of the office. I have never had to worry about this before, and I am not sure what to say. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! I have been an MT for four years, two in a hospital and two working from home for different doctor's offices. ...
...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...
Can anyone offer a suggestion? Recently, I am unable to hear the dictation on some reports. I have the volume all the way turned up, by using Ctrl +, and still cannot hear some reports clearly. Makes work a little more difficult.
After turning it all the way up, the next report will blast my ears out. Too funny.
TIA. ...
Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)?
I definitely prefer very long reports! ...
I always seem to have issues with being able to get the audio up to a comfortable volume on the Bayscribe platform. I don't think it's an issue with my computer, as my other platforms have volumes that are just fine.
Is there a volume booster somewhere on Bayscribe besides the obvious up and down button on the audio player that I'm overlooking? I have all the settings up to maximum on my computer as well as having the audio player volume all the way up to no avail.
TIA t ...
My Emdat voice quality has been very low recently. Unfortunately my ear phone cord broke and I ordered new earphones but it's just a whisper. I've increased the volume button on Emdat, but wondered if there is a way to increase the volume otherwise. I've done everything on my computer to make the volume loud but it doesn't work.
I just ordered a new 2nd set of earphones along with a volume increase thing from Amazon and was so excited to get it in today.&nb ...
Is there anything at all I can do to increase the dictation sound volume when I get these whisperers or people using cell phones, etc, and I can hardly hear them? I guess some of them are just sitting too far away from the dictating equipment, but they are never going to change. They are always going to be barely audible.
Is there anything I can do or buy to amplify the sound with these dictators? I already have my computer and speakers set on the highest volume. I' ...
Does anyone who works for CommandHealth (Transform/MD-IT) know how the VRE volume bonus works? I tried to figure it out using the numbers on my pay report but I couldn't come up with the percentages we are supposed to be receiving according to the number of lines edited each day. It appears like it's only half of what it should be. ...
Did anyone else receive an email from BR this morning stating we are to let her know if we are seeing an increased amount of work as she made changes to the settings so we'll receive more? They added this to our POD a week or two ago w/o letting us know and sent an email out after the fact. Nice to know they've added more work to our POD when we can't even clear out the work we're already getting... Thank you. ...
I read on this website some time ago and there was talk about a piece of hardware you could connect to your computer that would boost the volume and I think it was called "boost or booster." If anyone knows of this device I would love to get one. Anyone remember what it was called or where I can get one? Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...
Has anyone experienced a problem with their keyboard today while typing reports in Fluency. When I hit the Control + key while in the body of my report (to increase the volume) it is also changing my font size to larger. When I hit Control - key (to lower volume) it shrinks my font size. I am talking about the number keypad to the far right of the keyboard. Thanks. ...
