Does anyone know of any companies that do just straight typing or, at least, have a semi-descent platform.  I don't really care about their "wonderful benefits" which of course are not for free, and prefer working as an IC.  I'm sick and tired of these companies with platforms that have outdated bare-to-the-bone medical/English spellcheckers, no expanders of any sort, I mean nothing that helps productivity.  I've been stuck with this company for the past several months, and I guess for now it is better than a stick in the eye and no job, since you apply and apply and never get a response from any of these companies that advertise for job openings.  I got over 30 years of experience and I have no less than 99% accuracy.  After killing myself for 2 weeks' worth of work for this company and even surpassing their line demands, I received a check that really works out to below minimum wage, and they claim to pay 65-char including spaces.   Now, they have gone VR and I dread to think what my next paycheck is going to bring, perhaps $250 for 2 weeks' worth of work? Have mercy! Yell

They have an okay platform, using shorthand expander, straight typing only. Benifits are okay, but you can pass them up if you don't need them. Pay is based on production, up to 9.5 cents for over 16,000 lines, counter on the platform is accurate ;-)

is Etrans hiring right now? nm - cashstrapped

They had a posting here about a week or 2 ago. If you go to etransplus.com and follow the links which takes you to the MTtest.com site for them, it looks like they have a 'general medical' position open. I think I tested for them and then got a call about 2 weeks later, I don't remember when or if I ever sent in my resume...

I've been working for them for about 2 months and have no complaints at all.

Production Pointers Please
Feb 01, 2014

I know some MTs say they make $17 to $20/hr. I'd love some pointers on how you make this happen.  Even with decent dictators, I average about $9/hr and I have been doing this job nearly 17 years.  Even my PC said some produce 500 lines an hour, I don't understand how they do it.  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! ...


WMX - M-Modal, Positive ;pointers?

My accounts will be moving to M-Modal in August.  I see lots of negative posts, but could someone please post some pointers that would be helpful during this transition.  I know we will be having training sessions on this beforehand.  Also, could someone tell me if the pay cuts for M-Modal are immediate, or is there a transition period?  Trying to go into this with a good attitude, hoping for the best. TIA ...
