Long list of acct specs, impossible to keep up, picky - MT52

QA. Hard to make any money. I tried it a few months ago, almost 100% VR.

I didnt mind the VR as much as constant emails - about needing help,

changing accounts constantly, excessive stats. Pay is average. I left because I couldn't earn a living wage.

The account specs weren't really bad on mine, but they are VERY, VERY picky about punctuation and their VR system may be the worst that I have seen. The VR puts TONS of punctuation where it doesn't go and never puts it where it should go and the VR never, ever learns. I FINALLY, after three months got up to around $8.50 an hour battling with the VR and receive an email telling me to "slow down" and now all of my jobs were in review. They already review your reports daily and score you daily and again, VERY picky on punctuation. I slowed back down and was making around $4.00 per hour and got a "good job" from them, they were grateful that I was producing 100%, but nevermind the fact that I was making no money.

They also don't pay for headers and those have to be re-generated on every report and can be quite time consuming.

I don't believe it is possible to make money there - Ex-PS

I couldn't get even anywhere near minimum wage and each time I thought I was close to minimum wage I got an email chastising me for making too many punctuation or grammar mistakes. I was actually told that my medical terminology skills were excellent, but I must change sentences that are incorrect in VR, even if it didn't affect the content. The VR is so bad that I don't believe anyone could make money fixing it all. I even came to this board and asked if anyone makes reasonable money with them, because I was hesitant to quit, and never got a success story about this company. After six months I finally threw in the towell. I was wasting way too much time and never making any money.

Something interesting about Proscript - sm

As soon as I started making anything over minimum wage (Around $9.00 per hour) I got an email telling me to slow down, I was making too many punctuation mistakes. Once I slowed down and was making very minimal money they were happy with that. I finally just stopped transcribing. Well, two whole months later, when I had transcribed ZERO lines for them, I get an email telling me to slow down and my reports would be going through QA, not to take any more than 5 reports at a time and if it continued I would be let go! I emailed them back and asked them where in the world they came up with this, because I hadn't even transcribed for them in over two months. I never got a response, was just taken off of the email list.

My experience was similar to all the above, and - Ex-PS2

I even had sticky notes all over the place to try and keep up with all the different "protocols." I had a protocol failure which cost 3 points, which is a 97% and failed audit.

Wow, thanks. I think I'll pass. n/m - looking

I interviewed this morning for a transcription position that I will need to be flexible for front and back office backup. This interests me and I am very interested in it as I think MTs need to be more flexible in this day and age. This is a sole FP physician and she does do EMR but also keeps her own chart record by using the sticky back paper. So she does double duty. I believe this is a wonderful idea and will keep some of us MTs working into the future. She always has the record there w ...

Can anyone shed light on how flexible optiscript in State College is? I read on here how the unit manager will work with you if you need to change a schedule or need time off, but if you give an 8 hour schedule do they mind if you do not always adhere to it minute by minute or do they give you a little room to breathe. I heard they have split shifts but just wondering how strict they are with the schedules you give. TIA. ...

Just wondering if there are any companies out there that offer flexible schedules. I am currently a substitute teacher, so I don't have a set schedule for work.

I am thinking about pursuing a job as an independent contractor as I am retired and want something to do more than the money (retired hospital transcriptionist). It is my understanding that an IC must have flexible schedule to qualify for IC status, yet the job ads specify second and third shift as well as weekend days. Can they do this? I know the government is cracking down on ICs to make sure they are truly ICs (we all know the transcription companies will do everything to preserve their bo ...

I know this has probably been asked so many times on this board, but I am currently working for a company as an employee, full time, and I'd really like to move on. I've been there 6 years and the only thing that is holding me back right now is the fact that I need to have a flexible schedule and I don't really want IC status. Right now, I work 2 hours in the morning and 6-7 hours in the evenings. However, if one of my kids has a dance class or karate in the evening and I&# ...

I recently went to work with Proscript after 9 years of hell at Spheris and 1 year of the same thing with Medquist and I love it. I have a great hospital, great supervisor and flexilbility. I do work evenings though and that is my choice. The system is pretty decent. I can see a few things I would like to change, but for the most part, it's not bad. Money, (are we getting paid for this?), seems about the same, but I am still learning the account, so I don't feel I am up to sp ...

This is for anyone thinking of going to work for Proscript (I understand that they are advertising): This is NOT the Proscript that was a great, great company to work for some years ago. That crew was the old ddi crew and they brought the ddi corporate culture with them: Fair to clients, fair to employees, and they valued their employees equally with their clients. They would attempt to work with an MT to see how to get any problems resolved. &n ...
