While training on Docqscribe 7.1, do we get paid hourly or straight transcription rate with a little extra for training?
I'm probably way off the mark as I haven't started DQS7 - but what I think is this

When they say being paid for training in something, it just means the time taken to watch the videos and take the quiz, not actually using the program. In this case you get paid your benefit rate.
I'm guessing when actually using DQS7 you just make your tx rate as usual, nothing extra.
I hope I'm not being paid hourly - sm

cuz I'd make a lot more just transcribing since I'm not getting any ASR reports right now.
Right when you think MM (Merciless Master) couldn't possibly come up with a new way to add stress to your job, they make you install a software that counts your mouse clicks! My friends who still work in hospitals wouldn't believe this! Okay, I've seen everything in this business now.

and you'd better straighten up or we will PERFORMANCE MANAGE YOU!!
So sick of being treated like I'm in kindergarten. Yaw-Hoo, getting PM'd by a TSM who has never been an MT ...
I know the "push" is to use the shortcuts but it takes me twice as long to remove my hands from the keyboard to reach the arrow keys and alt+shift or ctrl+shift than to just click where I want to go with the mouse.
I was just wondering if it's worth it to retrain myself to use those particular shortcuts. I tried creating my own but they will not work in our system. The other ones we have are fine but the cursor ones stink. ...
Our work is going off shore faster than you can imagine. According to posts, I see we are wondering about the lack of work, in many cases for over a year. We are behind in getting info on this. Google off-shore transcription or any words that will get you the info. The information is plentiful. Many articles state the hospitals are unaware that work is going off shore. They just dictate, assume it goes to a central system in the states and we sit behind our desks and have so much wor ...
Wondering if anyone has been able to find a way to make M-Modal go faster or if it is just hopeless. The software can be extremely slow and bogs down a lot, especially if you increase the speed or choose to optimize the playback to skip over blank spots (dictator not talking) in the dictation. I increased the RAM on my computer with what my employer provided when we first switched over to the software, but it is still so much slower than our previous software. Has any ...
Since the report is already typed and we are just editing I know I should be going faster than I am. Sometimes I spend as much time as I do if it was regular typing, but I know I should be going faster.
Do people go faster on VR and if so do you have any suggestions that will help.
Thanks, ...
Doc was saying the silver alginate was doing a good job, so he will continue the patient on "surovnick." "Surovnick?" I spent approximately 20 minutes looking for all brand names of silver alginate, googling every possible spelling of the word. THEN realized he was actually saying - - silver alginate really fast. Lets see, how many lines could I have typed in that 20 minutes? Even after I realized what he had said, it still sounded like surovnick to me! ...
I have been straight transcribing for many moons. Then got into doing QA and a lot of the reports I get are straight editing of speech recognition rather than doing QA. My production stinks when I do straight editing and have no idea how those of you that edit speech recognition all day make a living. Kudos to YOU! I am one of the probably few QA who really appreciates you MT's who make our jobs easier and do AMAZING jobs transcribing what I can't even QA. Thank you for your hard work ...
I've asked numerous times; all get ignored. I have asked what happens if I can't get my hours in (I'm FT) in any given week (s).....Will I lose my health insurance? She picks and chooses which emails to answer. Any FT'ers who regularly find it next to impossible to get their hours in -- did you lose your benefits? ...
Ever wonder what is going on with the work? Lots of it one day, none the next? You get no answers from anyone on your account? What are you supposed to do? I've about had it. ...
I've been working for almost two weeks now for a company and have sent QA several messages concerning questions about appropriate ways they want the reports done as well as dangerous abbreviations (I did not use them at my last job.) I cannot get an answer and it just bugs me badly. ...
No one answers my emails when I ask why my accounts have no work. It's been going on for a very long time, but so much worse now. I thought a new account was going ot start, but I haven't heard a word about it. Is something going on that I don't know about? I realize they were going to be switching to more SR and MTs weren't all that happy about it (my own pay will be 1.5 CPL lower and only 4CPL for SR work), but what happened?I absolutely hate coming to a r ...
from Qcare. I haven't been able to log into MQ central or get my e-mail for over 2 days already. I thought they were supposed to answer in 24 hours?! ...
Now Plllleeeeasssse moderator, don't move this to some other forum. I really do need for a MedQuist QA person to answer this question....
My original blurb was placed on here, and it was moved to the Word Board. I got answers from others who do NOT use ASR platform of MQs. I realize BOS2 says the number, and that is what I have been doing for about a year now. Here is the headache that we MQ employees endure. ASR seems to do whatever it wants and does NOT follow rul ...
How come when I had to F11 a job today (first time in 6 months), I was still paid for ASR rate, even though I typed it?
Is this because of all of the people "claiming to do an F11 day," thereby screwing the rest of us???
...
as it will be moved to the tech board where it belongs, but it doesn't have email options. I really would like someone to let me email them with a screenshot of the Chartnet I am working on. I have permission from my TL. We are switching over to Chartnet and I just hate it. I have read where everyone loves it but something is different with what I am working on. Early on, someone suggested it was set up in M-Modal version which is not as user friendly, but all ...
Who's minding the store? Because there certainly doesn't seem to be anyone there - despite the fact that the RTL is supposed to be on duty for another hour and a half.
Trouble with my que on the weekend has been going on every since the last maintenance. Wonder if the two are connected or coincidence. ...

I was acquired 1 yr ago. I had 4 years service with previous company, and was told we brought that with us, so I assume now I have 5 years service, right? At the time, there was a schedule of PTO hours earned per years of service, I think it was about 3 weeks if you had 5 years. I do not see that anymore. Does that mean everyone only earns 4.62 hours of PTO per pay period no matter how long they have been employed?
Also, regarding the "time off without pay." If I h ...
asked, "I am trying to get a grasp on the IC vs employee thing but I don't understand why a company would want to hire an IC then?"
No one has answered this as of yet.
Why would a company hire an IC then? Because they don't have to take out taxes, (including their share of Social Security), and they do not have to provide benefits. All they have to do is cut the IC a check, and then the IC is responsible for all the taxes, including all of the Social Sec ...
