Chronicle Transcription - SquishyMT

[ In Reply To ..]
Chronicle is a good company. Staff is friendly and flexible. They pay on time, twice a month. Pay rate is standard for straight transcription and about 50% less for SR. Platform is kind of slow and cumbersome compared to others I've worked on. Most of the dictators are really good including the ESLs. Lots of work just like they promise. Leaving to work for another company because I can't afford the pay cut with SR and can't stand working 10-12 hours a day just to break even. Surprised the ad didn't mention SR since about 95% of the dictators are using it. The other 5% are regular transcription because they are really bad dictators and the SR platform "couldn't learn" what they were saying. I think the editing we do would go much faster if it wasn't for the awkwardness of the platform and the way we have to pull in the normals since SR doesn't understand them. Otherwise, the platform is easy to learn.

The only positive is they pay on time. The platform - is impossible to make

any money on. They do run out of work. I'm in the final hiring stages for another job and will be leaving soon. I can't pay my bills on what I'm making there. Good luck if you decide to go with them.

Does anyone here work withor have experience with Chronicle Transcription? More to the point, how they figure out the line count? I did a visual character count and my count and their's do not jibe. Needless to say, I'm not getting compensated for the patient demographics I must take the take to insert, but it would also appear that I at the very least do not get paid for the headers that are part of the work type template. Something seems very fishy to me. Thanks. ...

Be very careful. I was hired by this company and told they had a new account coming onboard. I started out on the clinic side and there were so many days with no work, but yet they complained if you were not on the system waiting during your required hours. Then I get a phone call out of the blue saying well we have good new and bad news. I was told my services were no longer needed on the clinic side due to low volume of work, but they new account they had was not going to start until A ...

Was wondering if anyone has ever interviewed with Chronicle?

decent living wage at this company? I've gone through the archives and saw comments on the platform but some posts said those issues were resolved. It is possilbe to earn a good paycheck without working 18 hours a day? Do they really have nonstop work consistently or is this just a backlog situation? I'm on the fence and afraid to jump from one pot to another. Thanks for any insight. ...

I have been invited to test for them, but I wonder what kind of company they are. I have IE9 and they want an older version of IE for the test (yes, the dreaded MTTest), but I am just wanting to make sure if I test and get hired, it will all be worth it in the end. Are there any current CTI MTs here? I would appreciate any info! ...
