Transtech - Is it all VR or are there some transcribed accounts? - Considering
Posted: May 10, 2011
This board has some TT posts, some good and some bad.
My questions are:
1) Is it all VR or are there some transcribed accounts?
2) What do they pay; is it per line or per report (Radiology)?
Thanks.

The radiology accounts are mostly VR (PowerScribe), but there is one transcribed account.
They pay $1.10 to $1.20 per report, depending on the account. The transcribed account is paid by the line at approximately 0.09 cents to 0.10 cents per line.

I work on regular accounts for 3 facilities and I do 99% VR, barely any straight typing, and I am lucky if I get 5 non-speech jobs a week!! The VR has increased over the past few months, and I was told when I was hired that it would be about 50/50, and that has never happened. This is what brings my pay down a lot.

When Do You Proofread Your Transcribed Report? Aug 05, 2011Hi all,
When do you proofread your transcribed report? Do you wait until you are finished or do you proofread each section when finished? And, do you ever get faster? I'm afraid if I wait until I'm finished I will not remember things. Also, do you re-listen to the dictation or not? Thanks. Many questions.

She said these records are obviously done by people who don't speak English. What I don't understand is how work can still be off ...

Same Pay Rate For Edited & Transcribed Lines? Jan 26, 2012My employer has recently gone from straight transcription to VR (using MedQuist's DocQSpeech).
At this point, after 4 months on VR, production is up 11% overall. The employer says they believe it will go up 48% overall (60% for VR lines, no change of course for transcribed lines, 80% of lines VR).
At this point, indeed, at least 80% of lines are VR. (The quality of the VR output, however, is pretty bad.)

Transcribed As Dictated On Verbatim Account Jan 27, 2015The dictator clearly dictated a word with an apostrophy following it. The word actually has an accent mark following the last letter, but he specifically dictated an apostrophy. I got it marked as an error.
I don't get it -- it was a verbatim account -- I did what he said - and now it's error.
Frustrated!!!! ...

How To Get Your Own Accounts? Nov 05, 2009Hello, I have been a transcriptionist for a couple of years now. I wound like to try and get my own accounts.

Anyone With Their Own Accounts? Oct 07, 2010Recently I was told the account I've been on for the past decade is going to voice recognition. Having worked on a VR platform briefly, I know I don't want to get screwed making half the money with longer hours. I really hated it and did almost as much typing then as now - only at half the rate.
That being said, has anyone gone out and found a couple of docs locally to transcribe on their own? I guess I'd have to buy a call-in system? Just seems like it w ...
Getting Your Own Accounts May 16, 2011A couple of years ago I obtained an LLC, took a webinar on how to run a transcription business as far as getting ideas on file transfer services, fees, etc. However, because I had to work full-time I never found time to pursue beyond that, or I guess I just chickened out basically. I guess I am thinking I would just start calling locally. I already checked with a college friend, who is a general practitioner. Of course, they are entering data themselves and not using tran ...
