VR - tootsie

[ In Reply To ..]
yes...more and more every day...pay for VR is 4 cpl. Straight typing is 7 cpl with no spaces and no pay for headers or footers on template. Must submit a schedule even though IC and work weekends. Overstaffed, so work load varies...(currently I am out of work and have been since early this morning.) Pooled queues. heavy esl on hospital accounts. difficult communication with account managers. Pay is direct deposit, mostly on time. Online system counts lines and I do not feel it is accurate, but got tired of fighting about it. Basically told to shut up and take what I get, or lose job. Does that cover it? :-)

Thank you! sm - tired

sorry to sound so negative. It has paid the bills for six years, but things are getting worse, like some of the other mergers I have seen on this board, and I am not happy. I am presently looking too, but want to keep this one until something else comes along. I hope they do not read this, or figure out who I am...or I will be gone sooner than I anticipate. They do not like criticism in any form. Good luck in your search. I wish us all the jobs of our dreams!!!
no prob VR - honest, factual and what they don't say up front saves. - best wishes...NM mtt

Speech Editing.
Oct 15, 2009

My quality has gone down since the clinic that I work at started this.   We use Dictaphone Extext.  Anyway, I must be going too fast or something because I seem to miss things.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I have started reading over my reports myself now before sending them through and I asked my supe if they have improved.  She said yes, but I still am making mistakes and she will send me my reports back shortly.  The only thing else I know t ...


Speech Recognition Editing Course
Aug 01, 2010

I graduated in May from the MT program at a local two-year college and, naturally, it's nearly impossible to find a medical transcription job as a newbie. Since speech recognition seems to be the future, I was wondering if taking a speech recognition editing course would be a good investment of my time and money. AHDI, I know, is offering a speech recognition editing course. I've done a lot of copy editing in my previous clerical jobs. I've always been good at copy edit ...


Speech And Editing Errors
Dec 19, 2010

working as a coder, I read all the reports.  It always amazes me what goes through.  today I coded an MRI that had the indication "Left upper Germany tingling!"  It should have been left upper extremity.  This is the stuff that doesn't get caught when editing, and it goes into the patient chart.  Once some doc, who didn't bother to look at it, signs it, it can't be changed easliy.  In fact, it is a major issue to try to change something once the ...


CJ, Regarding The Speech And Editing Errors...
Dec 29, 2010

Maybe what you are seeing is already the result of many people like yourself who have already left the field for the same reason you did.  When you get the responsible, diligent workers leaving because the pay has been cut so drastically they can't afford to work anymore, the field becomes saturated with new or substandard workers.  If you're already seeing these errors a lot, imagine how much more there will be when more MTs leave.  Who will be left to do the editing th ...


Tricks To Faster Speech Recognition Editing?
Aug 14, 2011

I have been straight transcribing for many moons. Then got into doing QA and a lot of the reports I get are straight editing of speech recognition rather than doing QA. My production stinks when I do straight editing and have no idea how those of you that edit speech recognition all day make a living. Kudos to YOU! I am one of the probably few QA who really appreciates you MT's who make our jobs easier and do AMAZING jobs transcribing what I can't even QA. Thank you for your hard work ...

After Reading The Ad From AssistMed, I Am

what they offer in terms of compensation with all the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the QA/MT positions.  When you read it, it sounds like the person/persons they are looking for would bring a lot of experience and talent to their company.  I wonder if the pay rate would come close to minimum wage considering all the variables involved, as we all know.  Anyone work there as an editor/MT?  I would love to know.  ...

Assistmed, Disorganized And Unclear

Was offered a management position with Assistmed for an extremely low salary (well below industry standard).  There was no organization.  Duties were "assumed" with no job description that was suitable.  The account manager I was working for literally "dropped off the face of the Earth" after I had 5 days on the job. The HR rep subsequently managed the account and had no idea how to manage. Was subsequently ask to "move to prodution" which my wrists don't allow ...
