InScribe - Straight typing versus editing? - wendy
Posted: Sep 08, 2014
Has anyone ever worked for them. Is it hard to pass their test. I sent the application in, and it was a long process. How long does it take to hear back on the test results. Are they a good company to work for? Pay (cpl)? Straight typing versus editing?

Pay is on a tiered basis for straight typing as an IC, starting at 6.5 cpl and going to 9 cpl. You must produce 20,000+ lines per 2-week pay period to get 9 cpl (and must have prior authorization) and over 10,000 to get 8 cpl. NOT easy to make lines because you log in to one platform to hear voice file, log into another to get template, type in MS Word, copy and paste either in the template platform or log in and upload to a file transfer program. It's rare to make it 3 levels up from the bottom (7.5 cpl for IC straight typing).
On top of that, you can't send blanks to QA without asking for someone to listen to your voice file in a private room on instant messenger. Be prepared to wait for help. If you send to QA without asking for help first, you are penalized.
Oh, and be prepared to be bombarded with daily emails (sometimes up to 15 a day) - many that are prayer requests.
Check the archives. It may be old, but all of it is still correct.
prayer requests??? - how bout this prayer, OMG r u f k me?

Re Straight Typing Versus VR. Mar 08, 2012I have a pretty good and accurate typing speed, which has made me pretty good money in the past. Then along comes VR. I have had somewhat success with it, if the right dictation is placed on it. The problem comes in when a company tries to put anything and everything on VR that does not belong there. It defeats the purpose of using it in the first place.
I am told that the computer calculates the accuracy of a report. If it is 80% or more, it goes on VR. ...
VR Versus Straight Typing Dec 13, 2014I am pretty sure I know the answer but need to prove it.

VR Rate Versus Straight Typing Apr 16, 2014I really wish I understood the logic behind paying 4 cpl for VR as opposed to 8 for straight typing. Do these people think it takes us exactly half the time? I understand being paid a little less, but it should be around 6 cpl. We still have to listen to the dictation, which takes the same time. What about the providers we basically have to type the whole report for? Yet we get the 4 cpl because it's VR. So unfair. Did they do some type of study tha ...

Why Suddenly Less ASR, More Straight Typing? Nov 19, 2009Hmm, let's see. We get a letter from MQ extolling our virtues as MTs, more and more info about nationalizing the EMR with Verizon, etc. and I notice I'm not the only one getting less ASR, more direct typing. Could be a coincidence, but could be MQ is gathering statistics on us, how the voice recognition program of MQ compares with our production as MTs versus straight typing on our own. Could MQ be using us as guinea pigs right now to pad their statistics to prove the ...

VR Is NOT Twice As Fast As Straight Typing! Nov 28, 2012I used to love my job, being an at-home medical transcriptionist. I used to make around $20-25 an hour straight typing and thought being an at-home medical transcriptionist was the best job ever! The flexibility of working from home and flexing my hours was great! I could get the kids off to school, work for a couple of hours, go shopping, work for a couple of hours, just so I made production requirements and everything was great!
Unfortunately, things changed and they started making us ...
