I have no idea why we're not trying to find something better. Maybe that which we already know feels safer. Plus, I worked for one company that paid literally pennies per day before Spheris/Medquist. ****

No Outsourcing Companies - ICMT

[ In Reply To ..]
It took me forever to find another company to work for and then I quit MQ, but I had to take an IC position. When that bunch didn't work out, I found local companies and do clinic notes and of course, no fear of outsourcing there, but eventually, it will be gone probably. I am still working as an IC though. If there are companies out there that don't outsource or use VR and will employ you as an employee, I have yet to find it. I have found other jobs, but it is almost all voice and the ESLs are 90% of the dictators. Again, what to do? I am hanging by a thread it seems. I keep looking, but have been an IC for over a year now, with no light at the end of the tunnel.

I work for one. - Anon

I work for a smallish (80 or so MTs) MTSO that does not outsource or use VR. Everyone who works here is an employee. They pay well, have enough work, and treat us well. I'm not giving their name because they are not hiring and don't want to be slammed with resumes, but I wanted you to know there are such companies out there. You shouldn't give up looking. I used to work for Spheris and can attest that there is life beyond the huge MTSO!

Is there ANY company out there that does NOT outsource ANY of their dictation? I usually don't mind ESL dictation except when it's ALL I get anymore. I work for a company that is being bought out by another company and right now, the only work I get or that is left to type, are the crappiest dictators out there. This is the dictation that cannot be sent out as a voice recognition file OR for straight typing simply because it's crap dictation. I've been ...

I can sign on with them, but they're strictly BOS 3. I'm still in the dark ages with BOS 1. How much time am I going to spend with my head in the book? What things should I focus on (re)learning first? Also, what kind of paperwork do I need to take care of, line counts, billing? Do they take care of that? All I do with my current company is submit my online line count at the end of the pay period, and two weeks later I get a deposit in the bank. This is the only IC position I&# ...

Company I worked for recently outsourced us to Nuance, and now I'm wondering what the likelihood is that they will, in turn, outsource our entire account overseas? Do they pay less to their people who work overseas? Something's in the air recently - just in the past week or 2 - among me and some others on our account, and it just seems weird. We're getting harrassed more, we're getting more major errors marked BY FAR than previously, and some have even been threatened with be ...

I just wanted to compare prices with other MTs that are using similar services.... My FTP site - $25 monthly (up to 5 users) Digital Dictation System - I pay $0.17 per minute for telephone dictation and $0.10 per minute for imported dictation (from hand-held recorders). The recorders are $299 each (Olympus 2400) with a $150 one-time set-up fee. I am interested in cutting costs if any other MT has a less expensive system they could refer me to. Thanks! ...

Today my TSM sent out a list of people who have to check their FIESA scores. She used their names instead of their HR numbers. This really bothers me and I can only imagine the people mentioned feel, well, like crap. Oh, and she congratulated us for bringing our FIESA scores up to 94%. Well who would after being bombarded with emails about that. ...

Is it just me, or does it seem like every time I have audio highlighted and the one below it checked under Tools/Options, that I have to go back in and uncheck them because some dictator is putting things out of order.

I'm sure there is probably a way to look at check stubs, W2s, etc. on the Transcend/Nuance web site but I don't know how to do it. I tried to use ADP self-service. But, it is asking for some registration code that I don't have. I was given a 5-digit employee number but it doesn't want to accept that. I'm a new employee. If anyone can answer on this I'd appreciate it. ...

this forum and I backed out because I had to purchase software and would be "micromanaged" too closely. I found myself on the offensive and caught the recruiter off guard because I told him I had no money to buy software because MTs are so poor. It was beautiful just to hear his jaw drop! I felt tremendous just to boycott this industry in my own way. ...
