Editor - what to expect for pay?

Hi, I applied for a job at MModal. I am only looking for part-time work to help supplement some of my income. I also work for another company subcontracting. Can anyone tell me what to expect as far as how they contact you, how long, etc.? Thanks in advance. ...

It is not realistic and not likely to happen. MModal, you need to get real. ...

very long reports coming in about 10 minutes before we are about to finish for the day, which will force us to either do, causing us to stay over, or opt out of, which will leave time which we then will have to make up at their approval. There's always torture involved with just doing our job. It's like industrial terrorism. ...

After 20 years of hospital-based HIM transcription, they gave us away to Medquist. I feel set up for failure by not getting consistent hospital accounts and never having a chance to learn a specific account. Communication with management is - absent - unless they want something from you. I also find the pay and line count methodology to be deplorable, to say the least. I have VR experience, but find that Medquist just turns on literally EVERYTHING to VR, and most of it re ...

These MTSOs just expect way too much out of someone just APPLYING for a job these days that it has caused me to not even apply anymore. I need work, but I suppose I don't need it enough to be willing to jump through all of the hoops that they require. The MT testing site has been aggravating enough, to take so much time on a test, not even knowing if you will get a call back, even if you DO pass. Lately, like the past 3 jobs I have looked into, their testing process was IN ...

I have a phone interview with Medquist. Could anyone tell me what to expect? Thanks in advance! ...

Over the 6 years I've been with them, have only gotten a half-penny/line raise once! That was after the first year...never again since and my accuracy has been above the required 98%, usually 100%....GREEDY COMPANY! ...

I just set up an interview for an in-house job. Problem is, I've only worked from home, so I'm really not sure what to expect. It is for a rural hospital district. My experience is with medium to large multispecialty clinic accounts. The HM manager said it was transcription, including radiology, as well as acting as assistant to her, which makes me think it might be more clerk work than transcription. I'm wondering if there are any questions I should ask m ...

1. Expect to feel proud of your career choice again. 2. Expect your family and friends to be proud of you for no longer being exploited the way you are. 3. Expect to enjoy going to work every day. 4. Expect to be able to pay your bills on time and even have a little left over to do whatever you want with. 5. Expect to feel a sense of security in knowing that you will be able to take care of yourself. 6. Expect to make some new friends and even have someone to share your mealtime with. 7. E ...

How can one company expect an IC to be full-time? Isn't this a contradiction? I mean, how can you be an IC and work for only one company? Or, does this mean that you should have more than one job and work more than full-time? ...

I am trying to learn a new clinic account and find little to no work. I can't even come close to getting my minimum line requirement of 1,200 daily. How long does the holiday slump generally last? ...

Sometimes I wonder with companies who pay an MT less while they are on full QA, if they don't simply keep that MT on QA for as long as possible to avoid paying the higher rate. Has anyone ever pressed the QA issue? ...

I have worked for the same service for over 4 years. I am an IC MT. I feel I deserve an increase. I asked for one at the end of my first year and was told the economy was bad....blah, blah. Ok, I understood that but now I feel I have earned an increase. Yes, I realize that many feel an IC should just inform the service of their increase. I know that would not fly with this service. They could care less if you work for them or not. Theyhave a "we wi ...

Was just wondering if anyone had any idea of what they ask, etc. Would like to be as prepared as possible. ...

Yes. Never mind, just answered my own question. ...

I like how CCM says that we need to work extra to make up for the downtime. Uh..I do have a life outside of Mmodal. Not my fault the system is down day after day. ...

Has anyone tested recently and heard back? Thanks! ...

I am being paid per report and was wondering if it is better than per line. ...

Add to that, I am getting accounts from all over the place. Exhausting and demoralizing. ...

After over 21 years being an MT, I am burnt out and want to try something different. Is there, in fact, anyone that will hire an MT without editing experience and train them ???? ...

Just wondering if this is a good VR platform? Thinking of applying to a company that uses this. Any information would be appreciated. I hate the thought of going to VR but that is all the jobs that are out there and I need a job. My previous employer just lost the account that I was working on. ...

I know this is not the place to look for positive answers, but I am going to try anyway. Worked for MQ years ago, but hated the punching in thing. I have tested with them recently, as I want to get into the field of voice recognition editing. Can anybody tell me about the part-time requirements, benefits, and the average line rate for editing? How much of your time is editing and how much is doing actual typing? What are the line requirements, and what happens if yo ...

Is anybody really making anything doing editing of work that somes from India. I was offered 5 cents to do it and was wondering if that was good. I have heard that the fixing of them reports are sometimes worse than the VR. I strongly feel it should be kept here personally. Any input would help in my decision. ...

I wonder how hard it is to be an editor. I checked transcriptionists work for years when I was inhouse. I figured I could do it. ...

What do most people like, editing or transcribing? Just curious. ...

I was wondering if anyone knew of any entry level editor jobs. I do have about 6 months of experience, but I am not sure where to look for a editor job online. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great! Thanks Julie ...

Just wondering if anyone here does any transcription editing and if they do, how much they make. sadly this was the only job i could find. ...

I'm not talking about the official proofreader positions that people hire in as. I'm talking about VR "editing" - meaning, when you get those reports where VR does what it's supposed to, and you only need to add 1 comma, for instance, in the entire report - and you are zipping along at the 300-400 lph you were promised, as justification for the 50% pay cut on switch to VR...isn't that actually proofreading?? ...but what about those OTHER reports...the ones that re ...
