Have a regular account been doing for years, all speech wreck. Due to low volume, was farmed out to an account that is straight typing. On an unfamiliar account and looking up old reports for nearly every doctor, I made over $50 more in 8 hours straight typing than I usually average on my regular familiar ASR account. At least I am not crazy and I CAN still type.

I usually make $20 more per hour anytime I have straight typing EVEN on new accounts with tons of different specs and as difficult dictators.

Doing the same account today. Also notice - anon

I want this account - what region

However, it is the point-n-click programs that are phasing out the transcribed document. ...

I sincerely think that the majority of us work our schedules, take pride in our work, produce quality documents and have relatively low QA submission rates. However, I also think that there are a significant number who do not comply with some or all of the above, and they have caused this joke of a company to punish all of us. Just take one look at the reports on the Repository to prove my point. I wish to all heck that I was young enough to start a whole new c ...
