This platfform is the most awful thing that has ever been made for MTs. Do these people sit and pay people to think of ways to slow us down more???!!! HOW RIDICULOUS.

I totally agree. I was hired about 4 months ago at dtsok and they use this same platform...totally horrible. It takes forever to complete a report. It is very slow and most of the time I have to reboot my computer after doing about 5 reports because the more reports I do the slower it goes. I don't see how anyone can make any money on this platform. Totally wacky platform!
I totally agree too... - anon

I don't see the purpose of having those blocks for the headings... Completely a waste of our time. And they block the doctors' names associated with patient care. Having access to that info would be SO helpful to us!!!! horrible platform
I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...
I have another question. When one does a draft in VR, does MT get paid for all lines in the draft or would an MT get paid if it has to be edited. I will be trying to learn this in the next few weeks and I am scared to death I will not catch on and then I might be without a job. I have a feeling I might not get paid for the whole draft report. Then again it may depend on the company. Any opinions please. Thanks ...
...looks like he's dropping a deuce. Sorry, but he does.
Also, how do you pronounce the name of the company? I say it to rhyme with immobile - immodal. ...
I'm considering applying to M*modal. I've been around the block (several times) so I'm aware of the reputation, etc. This means anyone who just wants to slam the company, please bypass this thread. For those of you who work for M*modal and are happy, what is it you like about the company? Would you recommend a friend apply?
TIA.

Been offered a job at M*Modal. Can anybody tell me the pros and cons of working there? Is there enough work. Where I work now it is SO hit and miss, feast or famine. I need something more consistent.
Are they flexible? Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,

Our hospital is supposed to make the decision tomorrow if they are going to keep our work in-house or outsource to M*Modal. I want to make an informed decision when and if we are told we are going with M*Modal. Do you get holidays? How is the pay? Flexible schedule? What about our vacations that are already scheduled? If they hire us will we still be on our same accounts?
Thanks for any info. ...
Hello Everyone,
The hospital I have been working for has switched all of our transcriptionist to M Modal. I will be doing radiology work. Any helpful hints out there.
...
I was thinking of applying for a job at M-Modal as I am not so happy with my current job and how they pay. Can anyone help me and tell me how much M-Modal pay their staff? ...
I am on the M*Modal website to apply, and they are asking for my social security number. I have never provided this on a job application. Is this legit? ...
I am thinking about testing for acute care transcription with M*Modal. But, when I went to their web site I see they are owned by someone in India? Is that for real? Also, I see posts here in this chat room "no work, no work, no work, paycheck sucks," etc. Can anyone fill me in on M*Modal, please. Also, do they supply you with the equipment? I do not want to work for a company owned by someone in India, that's for sure! Thank you in advance for your help! MT2 ...
I stopped doing medical transcription for a while and I am considering getting back into it. I live in Green Bay, and no one is hiring in house. I am considering taking a test with M*Modal. Can anyone tell me anything about this company? Good, bad, and ugly. ...
I thought they got rid of all PT positions?? Here's the link:

I heard that M*Modal is sinking fast and won't be in business much longer. Has anyone else heard this? They've been having problems getting investors and new clients, so it wouldn't come as any great shock. ...
Our company recently outsourced us and we are being offered jobs w M-Modal. I have seen all of the negative comments but I was wondering how bad the pay is. I typed about 220 lines/hour doing straight typing and they are saying their average for voice rec is 220/lines per hour. If that were the case you'd be making nothing! Can anyone give me any input? Thanks! ...
Would appreciate feedback from anyone using M-Modal, especially Webmedx Enterprise MTs. Dreading the conversion and wondering if my fears are well founded. I'm pretty fast straight typing but rarely get more than 50 lines more an hour with current VR. Seems all it takes is just one lousy report to negate the lines made on the decent reports. Afraid it's just going to be worse with M-Modal and the whole drop-down heading thing. Anyone have any encouragement to offer? ...
I know there are a lot of comments on here about M-modal being horrible and I have to definitely agreed, it is the only VR I have used so nothing to really compare it to but cannot do many more lines per hour than I transcribe (usually about 275 lph or so), anyone willing to share how much they do on M-modal and how long the account has been on VR? Just my curiosity since I don't seem to make any progress in increasing my lines per hour. Thanks in advance. ...
Can anyone recommend an expander? I just started using this program and it's locked up (stopped responding completely) several times today, making me lose several reports. Is this a common bug? Thanks!
