Heaven help me. An almost 27-minute report, ESL, smacking her gum

only got 37 lines from it. This nutter dictating kept putting me on hold (with the worst music) every section of the report so he could look it up in the patient's chart! I hate it when they do that stuff! There would be no way I would go to this guy as a patient. Anyone who is that unorganized is not going to operate on me! Breathing deeply now, rant over. ...

I get a pop up that says my current DQS log in has expired and the system will shut down. Then it shut down on me. I was TYPING at the time. I swear, if I log back in an all that work is gone, I am going to go ballistic on someone!! Has anyone else had this happen? ...

Usually, several my ASR corrections are undone during the course of the report. I have to proof and remake them. This time, the whole report just went poof and was gone. I immediately went to the "undo" feature to retrieve it and I could not. Now I have to type the whole report over again. This can't be profiting MedQuist. They can't pay me any less, so they might as well allow me to be productive so, at least, they will benefit. ...

Well.... if it's from ILP 24. That's after an MT handles it with 100% review, it's routed to QA automatically over there with 100% review, and then finally I get the lucky number. Yippy! Let's see if any others will top that today. Sheesh. Oh, and let's remember, Coumadin is used as an antibiotic! ...

I had a long, long report that was filled up mostly with another doctor's dictation, who was sitting nearby going a mile a minute dictating on his patient while my dictating doctor sat quietly thinking. At least, I guess that's what he was doing, hard to tell, he was so quiet while page after page filled up with the report from another patient. When my doctor resumed speaking, it was hard to find where his dictation began again. The actual report turned out ...

Can anyone tell me any companies that pay you per report or per minute? The company I work for now used to pay per report, but switched me to per line, and I am making "squat". I have a PT that pays per report, but they don't have anymore hours. I need another job, preferably FT. Thanksfor any help guys! ...

I have had it with these idiots who can barely dictate for making smacking noises. That is right up there with burping/eating/peeing/chewing gum/driving/mumbling/groaning/ uhh, uhhh, uhhhh/playing with the dog/helping the kids with their homework while dictating. If dictators were held to the same standards of dictation that we are held to as MTs, only a handful would still be dictating. Let's cut THEIR pay when they are idiots and smack loudly after each word. ...

Have 4 years experience. Mostly acute care/basic 4. Got a job offer for Radiology using Meditech platform and pay offered is $1 per dictated minute. This is an IC job. Haven't done radiology exclusively before and haven't been paid per dictated minute either. Thoughts? Thanks! ...

Wow, all day today and yesterday I have been getting actual transcribe jobs, not ASR!!! Whuppeeeee!!!! This ol gal is relishing the respite for a while. I know it won't last long. I am enjoying it while I can. I have been extremely, extremely sick for the last 2 months, and this is a joy for me. With all the meds I take ASR tends to be too monotonous and I find myself drifting off. Not good. Transcribing keeps me alert and focused. ...

I just got an eleven-minute dictation that I actually had the pleasure of transcribing as opposed to doing speech recognition on it. The dictator was perfect!! He spoke at a regular rate, not too fast and not too slow. His thoughts were organized and he enunciated his words clearly. I just typed my little heart out on that one and loved every minute of it!!!! Why can't it always be like that??? <Sigh> ...

Woohoo! Got the job offer today. At long last I am out of transcribing. I feel such relief I cannot even believe it. No more production pay at poverty rate. No more frustration of broken promises. For those of you staying, I really do hope the latest promises of hearing you and making changes will be kept. And for those of you who keep saying quit whining and do something about it if you are unhappy, venting doesn't mean we aren't doing anything ab ...

sounds like MT heaven. Is it? ...

I question things now that I never before questioned in my life! Thanks for any help. ...

that is less than 30 lines; dictator who repeats every sentence with 1 subtle change; DEAD AIR, etc. It is stressful enough that I'm losing money today but to be stressed out about line count and being perfect...I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! ...

Has anyone heard of pay at 0.16 per audio minute for medical transcription? They told me I could make at least $10 an hour or more at this rate. This seems impossible to me... What do you think? ...

I have been an MT for 12-years now. I used to get paid hourly, now they are suggesting 12.5-cents per line. Is this too low? Is 12.5 cents per line fair, anyone know? ...

Lately, when I get NJA it is just long enough to slow my production down, but not long enough to report it. It only lasts about 10 minutes most times. Does everyone else wait the 15 minutes before reporting as we are supposed to, or do you report it right away? ...

Seriously, I was 11 seconds (according to my punch clock) past the scheduled start of maintenance on submitting a really long job and it didn't go through. I think they should wait 5 minutes for the last minute submissions or at least hang onto the job and have it submitted after maintenance. ...

Anyone get paid by dictated minute -- How profitable is it for you? Considering options? is there a catch? ...

of dictation for a radiology position, what does this mean? So much per minute or a flat rate for a total of minutes per day? ...

Hi All: I was looking at a job posting, but they pay as stated above. I have never worked for anyone that pays like this. Does anyone know what this would average out to be per line based on 65 space? It is not Radiology. ...

I have never been paid by the minute before and I was wondering what is a good rate? I have been offered 0.08 cents per minute up to $1 per minute depending on the dictator. Right now I am getting paid 7.5 cents per line. I average 800-1000 lines per day on the account I am on now. Does anyone know how to figure pay on the minute versus the line?? Thanks in advance!! ...

Hope everyone is having a great day...I have an interview for a position that pays by the minute of dictation...I have never been paid this way or no anyone who has so am at a total loss as to the average, what it calculates to per line, hour, etc. Anyone who knows anything about this and can share would be so very much appreciated. I have not interviewed yet so don't know the rate but just want some info so I don't go in completely in the dark. Thank you! ...

I need some help I think my mind is fried...Does anyone know how to compare pay per minute of dictation to a per line rate? Example - 0.0972 per line versus 1.056 per dictated minute Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you very muc and please excuse my ignorance, but I am getting frustrated trying to compare the two. ...

GFR is 23 milliliters per minute. Should this be typed mL/min. I haven't typed this in years, and I have forgotten if I should type it all out or just abbreviate it. Even then, I'm unsure if my abbreviation is correct. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

Experienced MTs needed for multiple accounts/specialties - CCT Posted: Jul 19th, 2012 - 9:12 am Experienced Medical Transcriptionists needed on several accounts (3 years of MT experience is required to apply for each of the below) - Multispecialty account (orthopedics, gastroenterology, plastic surgery, internal medicine, oncology) - pay is per audio minute of dictation. Full time applicants only. Upon signing contract, please note it will take at least 5 busin ...

I was not told anything about taking 15 minutes when no work available. I have read something to the effect of taking 15 minutes pay when no work available. I'm confused. Why hasn't my TCM told me about this? I work on new acct, haven't been with MModal that long, but shouldn't I have been told about this as I ran out of work and was told to just clock out if no work. ...

When you get NJA you have the 3 options as we did before. When you choose to "make up time", at the very end of the explaination, it says something along the line of entering a leave request on teamwork for excused no pay? This only makes sense if in fact you cannot or do not make up the time, but the policy does not explain it that way. Example: You work 2 hours and get NJA. You have 6 hours to make up and can only make up 4. The remaining 2 hours must be en ...

Just got an email saying we could now take PTO in 15 minute increments. Haven't quite figured out yet how this benefis MQ, but I am sure it does. Any thoughts. ...

An hour or two ago, I had a word question and put it on the word board and within a matter of five minutes, someone posted the answer. I know we all have our own opinions and experiences but I am an MT with 20 plus years of experience and my mind just went blank on this word. Well, I was glad this fellow MT helped me out, so I did not have to send this to QA. I looked up the word again myself just to be certain not that I doubted this other MT and then I took a minute to thank ...
