Are there any companies that are offering transcription only jobs that are descent. I was full time at home and now am struggling with VR, etc.
SoftScript is all typing, no VR - XTR

Softscript is a decent company to work for, they pay on time if not early. It's all typing. Their platform is a little unwieldy and takes some getting used to, not very easy to use. They run out of work sometimes like everybody does, but still its a good place to work. They don't bug you with a million things all the time like other companies, just the opposite (maybe to a fault). You should check them out. Good luck!
Tough advice, but.... - sm

You need to accept the changes the industry is going through and learn to adapt. You may have one or two companies left not doing VR yet, but they will be soon unfortunately.
So, I had work. No problems. Then, a few months ago, the work started coming in slowly. Then, I started receiving NO JOBS AVAILABLE here and there. Then, the NO JOBS AVAILABLE started being constant, even at 11PM and 2AM. Knew something was going on.
Found out 3 of my accounts are gone. Went to India. I was worried about my manager and what would happen to him and the rest of the MT's working on the other accounts, but comes to find out, the manage ...
Received call from TSM (or whatever they are called now) yesterday that she will be done as of November 18th. MModal is doing away with too many good ones. Don't understand their thinking, we will be merged with another BOB, another quality coach will be added, and a scheduling person. Why not leave it alone! She mentioned all the good things that will come of this, all I see is bad. I tried to be optimistic before, but after hearing this, I am not right in the ...
Well just got word that the physical therapy company I work in house for is going point and click. Inevitable I know. We have about a month/month and a half. They are keeping one of us to work the system, make sure everything is correct in it, etc. So I'm going to start pounding the pavement. I am thinking of looking for PT front desk work. Wish me luck. ...
Several years ago, after working for MQ for a few years, I gave up on them - it was right around the time they introduced the whole cesspool thing and all my work disappeared. Then, I began working elsewhere and guess what, same boring story, the work dried up. So, with painful reluctance I came back to MQ and these last few weeks has been one heart-wrenching day after the next. There's either no work, or I get another hospital with completely different CP instructions or ...
PT. Ccm said all PTers being let go due to lack of work. I could tell that she knew that I knew the reason WHY there was a lack of work--offshoring to india. I was at top of tier level btw.
Good riddance MM. You saved me from having to quit, which I planned on doing very soon as I was sick of working for such a sh____, greedy, unethical company.

I guess what it's saying is that we will get raises instead, based on how we did in Jan/Feb? Oh you mean the two months that I had little to NO WORK? How do we know if we're getting a raise anyway? Is the Raise Fairy going to hit us with a wand and tell us? ...
