Just sent my Precyse equipment back - I can finally relax


Posted: Sep 19, 2010

I had a good account, but the account specifics were ridiculous.  The dictators were horrible and picky.  And Precyse catered to them.  I've never seen a health system so babied!  And the way the system was set up it made it impossble to go and make corrections on your own.  Once you finished it it was gone to the client...the picky client...Then Precyse has this weird way of computing your hours worked....almost like they penalized you for staying in the report too long, or even waiting for work!  I never did figure it out completely. 

Nice people - but basically when it comes down to it no one listens to you and all they say is "well, the client is picky" and "we need to keep them happy".  They sucked me in with low ESL, decent pay (don't get me wrong I made some good money there - PType is sooooo easy - loved it), but when you can do 2000 lines a day and still be told "you still haven't worked enough" something is wrong with that picture.  You can work 12 hours and still be told "you didn't put in all your hours" something is wrong with that picture. 

I'll find something else soon, I know that.  I'm a good MT.  Didn't let go of old job, thank goodness.  But I will find something else.  For now its just nice not to have to sit at a computer and be stressed out knowing your doing well and it still not be good enough.  They actually had me doubting my own skills, but no.  I was good at what they asked me to do.  220 lph ASR, 130 lpr TX - ha I did an average of 400 lph daily!  And if that's not good enough for them - their loss. 

Oh, they also had pretty decent equipment, though I never used their mouse and keyboard.  I have my own I like.

Yes they are picky. Precyse caters to them because they want to keep their client, it's called customer service, it is also our job to keep them happy. It is rare when the employees get to do things their way. If that's the kind of job you are seeking, you're probably in the wrong occupation.

If you averaged 400 lph per day and only ended up with 2000 lines, what kind of math is that? sm - Job-Seeking MT

Were you only part time? And where have you working before that you did not have to follow the account specs to the letter? "Picky" or not, the client makes the rules and you live by them so you can keep the client.

Maybe this is a company with fuzzy math? - nm

Precyse is Solid - TypesALot

[ In Reply To ..]
Have no fear, Precyse is a fine company. Nicest people I have ever worked with in the transcription industry. When I was unhappy with an account they moved me to an entirely different region. I just had to speak up and ask to be moved. They have computer generated line counts called "system time" but that does not include the time between reports, breaks, looking thing up, etc. It's simply the time spent typing keys. So it's understandable to have 400 lph and still get 2000 lines a day in 8 hours - if you took a lot of breaks or had other issues come up.

Like someone already said, if the client is picky, then Precyse is picky. But it's steady work and steady pay and I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Relax - TAA

I really like this company..I make good money..the platform is very good and my manager leaves me alone to work.

I Wonder If They Want Their Equipment Back
Jul 02, 2012

I left a few months ago and was never contacted about returning their equipment. Maybe they don't want it back if they aren't supplying equipment for employees anymore. Has anyone left recently and been sent the packaging to return their PC? I sure don't want to have to pay taxes at the end of the year on this "income." ...

I am working on sending back my equipment for MQ and just got the mailing slips in the mail today.  The sheet that comes along with it tells me I'm not required to send back the foot pedal, speaker, keyboard or mouse.  This makes no sense to me.....anyone been here before??  Did you just send everything back regardless??  Please help. ...

Precyse Still Has Precyse University For Training
Jun 16, 2015

Can anyone tell  me if Precyse still has Precyse University for training.  I went to work for them a few years ago and quit because I was only doing 1-2 hours a day for a couple weeks going through the University and waiting for things to be approved in order to move on and was not making any money, got fed up and quit.  I would like to reapply but do not want to if they still do Precyse University training. ...

Back To Work After Back Surgery
Aug 23, 2012

Hello, I would like to transcribe from home again. However, I HAVE to get up and walk for a few minutes at least once an hour. You see, I had to have 2 back surgeries in the last 18 months. I've been a transcriptionist for many years and this is my profession. Does anyone have a suggestion what to tell these companies that will hire you to work from home when you have to get up so much? The last company I tried had a "pop-up" box that appeared on my screen if you were up longer than 10 min ...

Mt Equipment
Apr 13, 2011

I have been doing outpatient surgery reports for a small hospital for four years.  They are outsourcing with a company that does voice recognition.  The ophthalmologist has talked to the OR manager and wants to use me for some other transcription (the hospital pays for what he does there).  I need to know the cheapest and best route to go since I only have computers, printers, and an Infinity foot pedal, as well as two transcribers that use microcassette tapes.  In order to p ...


All This Equipment We Have To Buy
Feb 16, 2014

why do they keep gouging us for this crap even though it should be painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain that your average MT has hardly any money for it? Amphion had told me that my workstation was not up to snuff, and after they specified what I needed, they told me *where to buy it*. I ended up sinking almost 300 bucks into it. Then, after working there for a couple weeks, they micromanaged me intensely, and after a performance review where I missed the mark by probably about a fra ...


Trouble With MQ Regarding Equipment
Oct 12, 2009

Hi everyone. I am having trouble with MQ regarding equipment and I'm hoping someone could maybe help me out here. I used to work for MQ and had returned my equipment after leaving. I was re-hired a few months later, but used my own equipment, therefore, never took anything back or received anything from them again. The returned equipment was returned over a year ago and I no longer have the receipt from UPS, as I never heard anything and had no reason to think there was a problem. Any ...

Hello, Can someone please tell me the best digital transcription machine to buy. I really do not know anything about digital transcribers. I am used to the cassette transcriber. Also, I heard there was a way to have a 1-800 number and the doctor can call that number and do the dictation over voicemail. Does that require any other software or equipment. I am not familiar with any of this. I guess I just really need to know the different ways I can do transcription. Thanks ...
