Escription QC's, do you have plenty of work - on your platform. They are telling us

So here is a blindly obvious question. With all of the job ads on this site, who is getting hired? Are they actually real jobs that are being posted by "real" people who actually need MT work done? Are any of you applying and getting these jobs. I have found that there is NEVER a shortage of MT jobs to apply for. There are ALWAYS ads on several sites soliciting the help of both experienced and newer MT's. As many MT's that are on this site I think I would here a few more success s ...

I will be starting second shift, Sunday through Thursday, with Nuance. I have not given notice yet to the company that I am currently working for because I'm thinking of hanging onto them in case there is a shortage of work with Nuance. Anybody else work this shift? How is the workflow? I've read a lot about people not being able to meet the full-time requirements to receive benefits because there simply is no work. Is this true? I'm a single mo ...

Today I have had plenty of work without having to jump around all over the place. I enjoy working at MModal. They have been good to me and I have been fortunate to have supervisors who will work with me and I can work with them. I feel very fortunate to have a job right now when so many others are out of work and cannot find them. In the last 6 months, I have only had 1 day when there were no jobs available. Within a couple of hours, my supervisor called and asked me to work on an acc ...

I have an interview with TTS tomorrow. Can anyone who currently works there tell me if they have issues with running out of work at this company? Thanks in advance! ...

They have taken on a couple dozen new accounts this year. They are a huge company and use Escription and Dictaphone Extext. They are owned by Dictaphone so rest assured they will have work when other companies are running out. The team leads are in America now, not in India. I would rather work for them and know I will get my lines and get paid than to make zero on another job because I'm pouting about working for a company that sends work to India. Just a FYI. ...

Does Amphion have plenty of work? I see they are advertising and was curious if there was enough work there. TIA ...

I average about 400-500 lines a shift (full time), so I guess if you can live on $36-45 a day, they are not lying. ...

I thought about applying, but there seem to be a lot of negative posts, although there were some stating that the work was flowing again. Any information is appreciated. TIA. ...

At least most of the time? Thinking of changing status, but don't want to get into a no-work situation. FT work available is already much less than used to be before Transcend buyout. ...

I was hired and told there was plenty of work. I could get all the pages I wanted. I am seeing a patten of only 1-2 days a week where I get work and the other days it just trinkles in. Is the the normal pattern for the work flow?? If so, I may have to swim out of this stream real fast. Any info you would be willing to share with me would be appreciated. I left my last job because of low work volume but was getting more than this. I came to Silent Type because I was promised pl ...

I am so tired of trying to find that "perfect" fit for a company to work for. Good companies are so few and far between and I just want to finally find a fair place. It seems like the only companies left are MModal and Nuance and I wouldn't work for them for anything. So, before I apply for Synernet, how are things there? Thanks :) ...

Looking for input about Softscript, good or bad. ...

Did y'all get the work status e-mail this morning? At the end it says, "as you can see, there is plenty of work available." How insulting. I have had no work for a very long time and this morning is no different. Who else doesn't have work this morning? Do ever wonder if work is being limited to those who have been there a long time and our CPL is higher than the new people they're hiring for those pathetic line rates? I think they want us long-timers to quit. ...

Is this platform good/bad/indifferent. I have used ExSpeech which was a horrible platform. Just wondering what is an average line count/hour that you can get on this platform. I know there are a lot of variables, but a "ball park" idea would be great! Thanks, ...

Hey, I am curious as to whether anyone is using eScription out there. If so, for what company and do you like it? Thanks for your help! ...

Does anyone else use escription? If so, how do you get the line count? ...

I have no choice but to accept because the rug has been pulled from under me and my fellow co-workers. Hospital outsourced to a transcription company and 0.37 cpl is what they are offering us using eScription. ...

I am new to escription and start with my new job on Tuesday. Is there any advice beforehand? I really need a job at home right now or I wouldn't even give VR a second look. But because it is what it is I was wondering if anyone could give me pointers? Thanks. ...

Hi there! I posted a while back b/c i was a bit nervous after 20 years going to voice rec. Its only been a week now and i really REALLY love it. I enjoy it. Okay shoot me now I konw most of you hate it. Anyway, I remember when i started a regular transcriptiion job a few years ago and i had to get used to an entirely new system, i was going so incredibly slow i never thought id be able to make a living with all the little bits and details. But it worked out fine and i eventually got it down ...

Does anyone who does QA on escription/editscript know how to get their counts? I know MTs get their line count through the transcription metrics, is it the same for QA? Thank you, freesf ...

For a company with technology in its name, I find this platform sorely lacking. Constantly having to correct capitals I don't want when I take out a period, it not putting a macro over what I want to change and all this backing up and retyping to change stuff or get a macro to work where I want it is driving me crazy (I know, short trip) and wasting a lot of time. Don't they have any engineers or programmers who can get around this? Guess I just got spoiled at Precyse; mac ...

Anyone on this platform, please tell me it gets better. I spent 2-1/2 hours and got absolutely nothing done. Demographics locked up completely and I had to X out, sending the work back to pool. Tried to upload, but kept telling me to confirm demographics which I did, then demographics header grayed out completely, then tried to upload, and again message to confirm demographics, which had been confirmed and were now locked up and grayed out. The entire platform seems just plain overwhelming wit ...

Thanks in advance for any information. ...

After 40 years on the job and getting tired of typing, when out of a job this last time (there have been so many times of late because of ...well most of you already know how goes it with our profession), I decided to just go for what seems to be taking over transcription anyway. Thanks to this board and all the talk about the different platforms, I took a job with a company that uses EditScript, and I am thrilled. In those 40 years, I have had to do a lot of proofreading as a super ...

Is there a way to turn this box off? Our system is not well trained yet so there is a lot of editing required. The alt-K combination is awkward for me when having to stop every few words to correct something. I edit by forwarding my cursor through the document (like the red box does) but then there is no extra work in bringing the cursor forward to where the edit needs to made as it is already there. Thanks for the input! ...

I have now been doing EditScript for a month now and my lines are still horrific. I've read the manual over and over and still have the below questions. I'm only doing 1/4 of what I used to do and it hurts. 1. I have to minimize and maximize my screen to see more than 10-14 lines. Anyone else have this problem? I think it has something to do with the header because if I change something in the header, I have to minimize and maximize again. 2. I follow the red bo ...

I posted this on the company board but this might be a better place...I work at FocusInfomatics...QC..just started not that long ago. Many years of experience with editing, QA, MT, etc. I'm new to VR. I would love to hear what to expect for production as right now...it's not so good. I understand variables, etc. My work load is very low right now but that is supposedly going to change soon. With QCing everything to sound, can someone tell me what they ...

Escription QC's, do you have plenty of work - on your platform. They are telling us

Nope. We are offered typing when it dries up which - is often lately.
