2) Ability to work evening shifts and weekends

The rate of pay is 3 cpl for editing and 7 cpl for typing.

Hey, we want you to work the shifts no one wants and we'll pay a premium for it! OMIGOD are they for real?

they wanna see if it WORKS. Don't bite, there is better out there - .

If MTs accept this rate, it will continue. If they want good MTs they need to change and obvious will not unless "nudged to do so" by turning it down. Not even minimum wage, WORTH MORE Ya-all MTs

You betcha. I hope every newby and wannbe remembers the mantra: YOU DESERVE THE KIND OF TREATMENT YOU WILL ACCEPT. Don't buy into this kind of a rip-off!

It would appear if you are willing to strap yourself to your desk 24/7 without being selfish with your time to do things such as eat, drink or stretch your legs, you can earn quite the tidy income with them:

Benefits:
1) Work from home position
2) Potential earnings of 3,000-4,000+ per month
3) Ability to transcribe and edit multiple accounts
4) Flexible and friendly staff

The nerve of some of these freaking companies...Crazy.

Sounds to me like they accidentally posted it - in the wrong country! LOL (nm)

have to honestly get RACIST about it?

I detest the outright racism read on so many of these forums.

Save your comments if that's all they amount to.

I'm sure they weren't being racist, they were referring to - anon

the money being offered.

This is not even a livable wage - in the USA

[ In Reply To ..]
3 cpl for editing and 7 cpl for typing is NOT a livable wage in the United States. And especially for an IC position (this is roughly equivalent to 1 cpl and 5 cpl as an employee). I don't think this would even meet minimum wage requirements.

However, this IS a livable wage in some other countries like India. So I think that is what was being referred to...not anything racist, just the difference of livable wages between different countries.

And yes, in my opinion, for the wages that are being offered, I think this MTSO should probably post on one of the offshore MT boards instead.

I saw no $ signs in the ad. They could have meant rupees at that rate or - mrs.krabs

like the poster above said, chain you to the desk. No bathroom breaks for you! No lunch breaks for you! No Coke or smoke breaks for you!
But then again, that would be racist, kinda sounds like the Transcription Nazi?

P.S. 4000 rupees = $89.67? Sound about right? - mrs.krabs

Racist, shmacist - Nick

And detest people seeing racism where none is intended. We are oh, so, politically correct. Well, I say POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS INTELLECTUAL TERRORISM. Let people speak without reading hidden meanings in, please. The sixties were over a long, long time ago.

Have to say, I love Mmodal. My CCM is caring and considerate and kind. Also, love the pay and hardly ever running out of work but when we do, that is a nice break for me.

A new ESL dictating a DS. Can't speed him up because he's too "new" (to this country?). He is spelling every other word!!!!!! AND then spells it again - extubated, e-x-t-u-b-a-t-e-d, extubated e for elephant, x for crosses, t for tom, u for umbrella, b for .......... get the picture (sigh)? On top of that, the report is 28 minutes long!!! Should never have gotten out of bed this morning. LOL I do feel bad for him that he doesn't realize he doesn't have to spell every other ...

Hey, I don't actually type that crap, ya know! I have way too much dignity to be associated with that garbage for the pittance they are paying. However, looking at the crap that VR produces that is included in patient records, I realized, hey, why bother proofreading??? Anything I produce with my old-fashioned, stone-age, luddite TRANSCRIPTION looks a heck of a lot better than anything I've seen VR produce. No one will notice any mistakes I might make. The ...

An email gets sent out around 4 a.m. stating there is a critical backlog and asking everyone to help out. The email shows the backlog, but it's really not that big. Says if you have hours to make up to do it today. This is at 4 a.m., when a lot of us are sleeping. Panic!! I log in for my regularly scheduled shift......and NJA! Thanks a lot MQ. Take work away from people that are scheduled to work just because you get a little panicky at 4 in the morning. ...

I love to be able to fill in blanks that people can't get and to help them. I wish I could give them detailed explainations so that they can understand the why of the error or resources I used to find it. However, because of the ridiculous pay and having to wade though ILP garbage (sorry, I don't enjoy helping them out), I'm only able to leave brief or even no messages to try to at least make what I did when being an MT. These messages come across as rude, nitpic ...

You have continually screwed me out of money every year since I've started here. You keep taking and I keep giving and I've about had enough. I know the 150 lph isn't that bad as I usually do that anyway....but seriously!!!! Is it too much to ask to be supplied with accounts that I am familiar w ...

I would absolutely love working for Nuance but for the fact that the work volumes are never consistent or reliable. I love my hours, my TS is awesome and I love my accounts. The benefits aren't great but I can work with what they offer. I wish they didn't practice over-hiring. ...

Imagine 8 hours of looking up "J. A. Smith" in phone books to write down his/her phone number. Then searching for the modifier for his second line. More like insurance work or accounting (even without the numbers) than language based work. I love the narrative of the reports I do, not the lab data. If my job were threatened, I would view it as an opportunity to learn to do something I really wanted to do, not just take the next career offered doomed for automation and overseas outsourcing. ...

if someone from management come to this site to defend this MTSO and its policies. I don't work for MM, but from the posts here, they have significant problems among their staff and at some point will have trouble recruiting new employees. I would be reluctant to work for this MTSO based on this site and ratings in other places. MM, do you have a defense? ...

For the last week and a half, all I have been doing is progress notes for some hospital that isn't even in my BoB. It is worse than watching paint dry, I swear. I'm so bored with these notes that I would rather just beat my head against the wall or pull each hair out one by one. Anything other than making one more keystroke! I want my primary back (I know there is work in it). I want to do my Op notes again! WTH!!!!!!!!! Sorry...had to vent. ...

Lately I have talked to many friends who are all disillusioned with their careers. The state of the economy has made it worse, but I really think the problems existed before that happened. They come from all walks of life and all occupations. Everyone seems to want out of whatever they are doing. The ones I have spoken to include teachers, attorneys, nurses, doctors, police officers and of course MTs. Anyone out there know someone with a great and (as stable a ...

So, I got this super long report with HORRIBLE audio. When I got finished it looked like a piece of Swiss cheese it had so many blanks. I didn't even CONSIDER sending it to QA as the audio was just terrible and there was NO way I was sending a report that long...and then get paid 3 cents a line because it might put me over 5% QA submission. So, I just sent it straight through, expecting to get a call from my CCM on why I sent so many blanks, which, of course I was prepared ...

And you KNOW she got the email but literally ignores it? The reason I know she got it was that I sent 2 other unrelated emails around the same time (in response to her asking for extra hours, which I said I could do) and another email.....But the one where I actually needed something from her.....where she would actually have to TAKE ACTION, she ignores. So, now it's 3 days later and still nothing. I should have IGNORED her email request for extra hours.....just so sh ...

The thing I like most about coding is the process that you go through. It's good for my brain. They say that people use their brains stay healthier longer.

Finally sucked it up and bought a Kinesis Advantage keyboard. Wanted one for at least 10 years, but couldn't justify the cost, but after typing off my laptop for a few months and quickly developing tennis elbow, it was time to make the switch. I love this thing! My arm pain is gone after just a week, and I love that I actually type faster when I maintain good posture; when I slump, my fingers are positioned correctly to go very fast. I also love that the key "connects" halfway down, s ...
