Welcome to Synernet math. Fifty licenses = 61, sm - Fed up

and maybe 20% equals over 50%. I hope my landlord understands this new math when I say that this is all my rent money and it is only half.

Will you leave already? For someone that hates the company so much you seem to be hanging around an awfully long time.

Why not go ahead and delete your post now. nm - You will soon enough

that not all accounts are going VR? I guess you'll know soon enough whether you're in THAT lucky group. The rest of us will just have to get a 2nd job.

Team Synernet--maybe group--u need it too - anon

I was surprised to read that they are just now turning it on sm - Confused SMT

for some. I have been stuck with it for awhile now and seems I get more and more. I have no idea how they choose the ones they give the license to as a few are good but on several I have to practically retype the whole report myself. And yet I saw someone post the other day how great Dolbey Speech Magic is at another company, so I am confused about that as well - can it vary according to how the company sets it up? All I know is I get more and more VR reports and my wages are going down. Gone are the days when one job will supply my salary needs, it seems.

The problem is that even if you don't get - MT

in the VR group you will have to just type for the providers who didn't make the grade for it. Those are the worst dictators. ESL's. Mumblers. Slow speakers, etc. Still going to lose money on them too. I agree they are doing something wrong with the VR setup. Never have seen such a bad platform. I'm looking hard for another job even if it is VR just because I know there are better platforms than this one. I don't believe Synernet when they say there are people making a lot of lines with this VR. I think they lie.

All they do is lie - SM

While I am not a fan of VR by any means, I have done VR for other companies before coming to Synernet and none of them were nearly the horror show that Synernet is. They obviously have absolutely no idea what they are doing when it comes to implementing VR and are lying through their teeth when they say they are making more money with it. What a complete joke. I have an interview with another company later today and, if I get it, bye-bye Synernet! I've never seen a company run by a group of such incompetent monkeys in my life. What a circus.

You are so right about the crappy dicators - AnotherSynMT

I hardly ever get a VR report, but what I do get is all the crappy dictators who are either horrible ESL or fast talking American MDs or mumblers. I have almost lost interest in transcription altogether, my production is at an all-time low. Then when I do get a VR, it's like learning all over again, because I hardly get them, I am slow because I don't do them all the time. It is a lose, lose situation.

I live in Florida and am trying to obtain a business license for medical transcription. My county and city do not give them out and they tell me to call the State of FL, I have called about 10 different numbers and no one can help me.

...and I'm wondering about everyone else's situation. If I work diligently and have work available, I can do 300-350 lph in SR, so that's $12-$14 an hour. My hours actually spent engaged in my job, getting ready for my job, getting to my job, getting home from my job, etc. are basically the hours I'm working and the few minutes it takes me to boot up.

Just got notified the national audit team did a June audit on me and I failed. I had the incorrect birth date. Stupid me. I am usuallly so careful that what is dictated and what ADT have are in sync. This 1 got by me. Said my audit score was 96.75. If a critical error is 3 points, how can this be? Even 97 would be failing. HMMMM? Guess slow down and triple check everything. Back on the "worry wagon" again. What will happen? ...

Let's say you have 1,000 MTs. If N manages to keep $100 per week per employee due to penalties, that is $100,000 each week that Nuance gets to keep....for nothing. Multiply that by 52, and they get $5,200,000 to keep per year just on platform, QA, QC, LPH. And how many MTs are there? And how much more than $100 are we losing? But heaven forbid they have to increase you by a few dollars to get you up to minimum pay. Check where your total lines are comin ...

I've tried to do the math to figure exactly how much of an "increase" this is. I'm sure it's chicken feed, but since I keep getting a different answer when I try, I'll never know. I subtracted my old rate from my new rate and got 0.0013. Is this 1/13th of a cent my raise per line? Lordy that cannot be right! I kept doing it over and got different answers, and I don't know how, but math isn't my forte. What does 0.0013 mean? Is i ...

I'm unsure if my math is correct, but this is what I got. I average about 300 lines an hour for my 8-hour shift. In order to reach the cap over the 4 days, I would need to type 16,666 lines above my normal line count. That would be 4167 lines extra a day. In my case, at 300 lph, that would be almost 14 more hours I would have to work daily on top of my normal 8. I suppose 1 hour to sleep and 1 hour for eating and potty breaks a day is all I need, right?& ...

Here's my deal...I got a report a couple of days ago that shows my avg LPH for the previous ppd along w/ some other stats. It shows that I edit appx 300 LPH (cut me some slack as I'm fairly new on these auths). If I multiply that by an 8-hr shift and my line rate (0.045 cpl), I keep coming back to about $20 more per day than I'm actually getting. My straight transcription pays about double the VR edit rate, so WTH am I missing.Apologies for being dense, but I rea ...

if my current job is calculating a line at 55 char w/spaces and a prospective job calculates a line at 65 char w/spaces -- I am so dumb with math anymore -- what would be the equation I'd use for figuring LPH that I might make in an hour on new job? thanks!! ...

Many posts on this convoluted mess called a compensation plan. Here are my positives: 1) I don't have to notify payroll if they posted more lines than I should have gotten. I have no clue how many compensated lines I should be given. 2) I don't have to notify payroll if they overpaid me. I will never know. 3) I will know where all the food banks are and every other means of help with utilities, etc. Now, here's my negative after doing the actual math: 1) I am losing $350 per ...

I just received my March report, graded at 99.3% and the accepted standard is 99.6%. There were 5 audited reports - 3 @ 100%, 1 @ 99.75% and 1 @ 99.3% which was the last one. My March report said I averaged 99.3% and need to improve quality, proofread, ADT screen, dates, labs and so on. Problem is, one missed comma gave me the 99.3% score. Yes, one comma in that report, nothing else was noted. Just doing simple math to come up with an average score for my audited reports (5) is 99.81% surpass ...

I was consistently going over the metrics for blanks being submitted to the client and decided to keep track of why I was sending those blanks. It turns out that 77% of my blanks are due to either discrepancy or audio issues; blanks that I am positive nobody could fill in. 77%! These metrics either need to be done away with or adjusted for doctors that don't take the time to not be idiots. The most common discrepancy is incorrect age or something else that I can fill ...

What in the heck does .05 for every 43 black characters equal out to. It doesn't sound good but I'm no math whiz. Maybe, I'm missing something and who pays like that. What happened to X-amount of cpl based on a 65-character line..or even a gross line. I suspect it's a sneaky way to screw you but I could be wrong. ...

Okay, so today if I did 1320 lines and sent 93 lines to QA, which was only 2 reports all day. Wow it adds up fast! This is more than 5% for today (not sure exactly what % but I'm sure it's over 5%). I'm pretty sure this is an average day. So, I'm still confused about how much we get docked.....will I get paid 3 cents less a line for EVERY line starting when I first go over 5% in any given week, which will be the FIRST day? Will it be on EVERY lin ...

search for the cpi calculator. Type in what you originally started making when you first worked for Q converted to dollars - like I started at 6 cpl, so I type in 6.00. then type in the year and calculate. Mine comes up a little over 9.00. converting that to cents, I should be making a little over 9 cpl -- that amount has the same "buying power" as 6 cpl did when I started. But actually I'm making a little over 7 1/2 cpl -- This works out to that I now have about 80-some percent ...

Dec 14, 2011

In any case, I've been ignoring it. You can double check your pay by taking the amount of money in the Current column and dividing that by the number of lines in the Piece Units column. It may be a little bit more if you work nights and get the shift differential as it seems that they add that on. It would be nice if they would show that in a seperate row like they did before Ultipro ...

On reading the posts below, if an MT makes 8 cpl and pay is cut down to 6.5 cpl, that is an approximately 20% pay cut. Then, going from a 65-character line with spaces to VBC (a 65-character line without spaces), that is an approximately 30% pay cut. So, 20% plus 30% equals an overall 50% pay cut. Can that possibly be correct? ...

If I understand this right, the calculation is $75 per audio hour - that means for every 60 minutes of dictation, the scribe is paid $75. If it takes one hour to complete the job, you make $75 per hour Two hours, $37.50 per hour. Three hours, $25 per hour. Four hours $18.75 per hour. What am I missing? It typically takes at least three hours to transcribe one hour of dictation (audio). If there is heavy formatting, difficult audio, etc., you can expect it to take longer. U ...
