Futurenet? Good, bad? sm - MT


Posted: Oct 29, 2014

Specifically interested in just how hard the ESLs are.  Was told that the account they want me on is "heavy" ESL.  Its editing.  I wonder what the average lph editing rate is for this heavy ESL oncology account. 

They are in SoCal so probably really bad - Just saying.

Very heavy ESL. At least the company did not lie about that fact. Ask them how many lines per hour most of the editors are managing to do. The truth is that as far as I can determine, no one is earning a living on their platform for speech recognition, especially the M-Modal platform, and add the heavy ESL dictators and the more intricate terminology on the oncology account and you have an equation to make less money.

Of note, FN is no long a company heavy into transcription or speech recognition work for clients. They are selling programming and doing more tech work for clients. Look up their website and dig deep.

You know, it's really too bad about Futurenet. - Rita was with YOG

and that was one of the best places to work. Rita was also very nice and easy to get along with. I believe she was the hiring recruiter for YOG back in the day. Too bad Futurenet went down the tubes and couldn't be run like YOG.

Too bad indeed. - Old YOGger

I jumped to FN a few years ago once I knew April and Rita were there, but it was nothing like YOG. Not enough work, low VR pay. Sad.

FutureNet - What Is Up With Them
Jun 11, 2010

Not sure what is up with them.  They have several ads again but there is absolutely no work for us long timers.  Suspect they are hiring newbies and paying less to get the work done.  BTW, do not ever expect an increase in line rate.  You will NEVER get one.  Also do not expect to attain those bonuses they talk about in the ads - they have now made it impossiible to reach that level by maknig work unavailable, once you get close to making the bonus you can expect to see no work available ...

If Anyone On Here Uses FutureNet
Sep 25, 2012

Wondering if anyone on here uses FutureNet (possibly the glitchiest, most annoying transcription software ever created).  I use it at work.  When I started using it, it seemed to have a pretty good medical dictionary in it -- recognized all the medical terminology and almost all of the drugs, so I ASSUMED that all that was included.  So now we have a newbie, and when SHE uses FutureNet, it marks every single drug as an error (red wavy line), as well as all the medical terms.  I'm to ...

I just posted this on the wrong board (Job Seekers, what an idiot I am).  Anyway, I'll try again here.  Does anyone know if the position FutureNet is hiring for is for an oncology account or acute care?  I would like to apply but not sure I am qualified.  I'm looking for hem/onc job.  This is sort of confusing to me.  I have never seen a company ask for acute care experience if it is for oncology transcription.  Any information would be appreciated. ...

FutureNet And No Work Available

Picking up from a thread earlier this month that is buried.  Does anyone have any knowledge as to what is going on with this company?  Many of their accounts always had limited work.  For at least a month, even the biggest accounts have had very low report counts.  Has the traditional transcription gone over to the VR side?  But the VR side is also low on work.  I have only noted job ads for VR in recent months.  You are required to give the company a set sched ...

Another Ad Posted By FutureNet
Apr 14, 2014

FN has again posted an ad for editors/speech rec people to work on M-Modal.  It appears that people are leaving due to this platform.  FN does not appear to have acquired new accounts.  See post below about the M-Modal platform and this company.  This used to be a good company to work for.  It's the platform that is just terrible and impossible to make a living wage when using it.  Your mileage may vary.  ...
