I haven't seen any increase. This is on their ad posted today. - nuancemt

Posted: Apr 27, 2012

We offer a multitude of benefits:

• Increased line production rates

• A 6-tier bi-weekly incentive plan that rewards for quality and productivity

And I'll add that if there was a pay increase WITHOUT that stupid incentive plan...... - nuancemt

I'd probably quit my B *$%#ING about being a MT.

Huh? Nuance is offering BIWEEKLY incentive? - I am very interested and hopeful. SM

This sounds unequivocably different from before--and great.

Increased line rates? What does THIS mean? Undefined, yes, but it does not sound like the rate decreases we've come to fear every few months over the past few years. Has a turning point been reached?

Glad you're hopeful. Good luck getting the bonus. - me

The ad is misleading. - plain and simple.

to bad you have get in and actually start working before you figure that out.

And the 6 tier incentive plan is a joke and practically nonexistant.

Just calling a spade a spade.

I called that spade 6 months ago when I was hired. - nuancemt

I'm just biding my time for now.

Hey, clue me in. How does one fight for oneself while - determining to be a victim? SM

Let's ask what those phrases mean and when they come into effect for existing employees.

I wouldn't know since I'm not a victim. - I refuse to work under such circumstances.

And who are you? The Nuance spokes person?

take the stick out of your arse. Geez. - mt4ever

increased line rates - Wornout MT

I have not heard of any increase in line rates and the bi-weekly incentive has been there for awhile, but it is the same.

Increased line rates? - cjjmt

I just don't believe it. I applied for a QME position six months ago and the pay per hour was so insulting I highly doubt they will increase that pay either. I had to participate in A LOT of testing which is fine but for what I was put thru I was assuming the pay would reflect that!

....as I'm about ready to get kicked out. I have been working like crazy and was shocked when I saw my paycheck but at least I have a job. Please tell me what I can do to get more lines per hour.

Does anyone have any hints/suggestions/help for working more quickly in Powerscribe editing radiology reports? The program seems a bit sluggish and you have to wait on it when you want to go on to the next step/next report. Any hints for copying/pasting more quickly, etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to increase my speed. TIA ...

I've been doing work via escription for about a month and a half now (Transcriptionist most of my life) and i really like it. I am just up to about an average of 300 lines per hour though. I have heard/seen people do much better with the line count, and I wonder what your input is. Some say that you shouldnt use the mouse and should only use the keyboard for quick editing. I use the mouse still. I have my short cuts in and such, but for the most part i keep my hand on the ...

..well, I'm really close to finishing. It seems as though, based off things said here, I've made a bad decision. Oh well, I'm almost done, so I mine as well finish and sit for the RMT exam. I actually am applying to school for respiratory therapy. Any newbie's have anything positive to say about their experiences getting started as an MT? I hate to have a negative attitude, that's really not how I am, but sometimes you have to be realistic. I'll still apply to MT jo ...

Hi everyone I feel like I just have to vent a little. Hope that's okay. I've been a transcriptionist for a long time (17 years) but I am beginning to believe that I must really stink !! I had applied to Transtech and Transolutions and haven't heard a word. I am thinking it's me. I currently work nights from home and I swear I have not heard dictators like the ones I have been getting, all ESL and I can barely tell what they are talki ...

As I said before, I am collecting partial SUI for times like these but really guys, how can we remain employed by a company who does not give us work???? I'm sorry once again for venting. ...

A while back I was trying to think of some things to increase my production, so I sat down with paper and pencil and made a list of the biggest things that were slowing me down. At the top of the list were three main things: Nine different accounts with nine totally different CPs, ESLs, and ASR. I decided to work on the CPs first. This one little trick has actually DOUBLED my production over the last two months. My thought was that maybe if I had all the CPs for all ...

I kind of feel dumb even asking this question but how does one get these 300 lph counts I've read about on here? I have 12 years plus years experience and have only worked in 2 different hospitals. We never had expanders so I don't really know much about them. I average about 180 lph but am realizing now working for an MTSO that I am going to have to increase my line counts. Thanks! ...

Not long ago, work was abundant for all MTs, but then it seemed that changed when for some reason, turn around times were shortened markedly. What caused this? Was is just a new way for companies to compete, promising that the work would get back sooner than a client's current MT service, or did something more technical occur, such as government regulations, insurance requirements, etc. I see jobs by the hundreds on the web and yet the complaint is always the same: No work ...

Help!!! Okay, I've been working PT for MQ for 7 long years. I am considering going FT just for the benefits because no one can live off of minimum wage. Because information on open enrollment will not be available until late April/May for June 2011, I need to know if the rates normally go up and by about how much? Please, I only want to hear from MQ (not recently new to MQ from Spheris or non-MQ people) people who have been full time for the ...

My Emdat voice quality has been very low recently. Unfortunately my ear phone cord broke and I ordered new earphones but it's just a whisper. I've increased the volume button on Emdat, but wondered if there is a way to increase the volume otherwise. I've done everything on my computer to make the volume loud but it doesn't work. I just ordered a new 2nd set of earphones along with a volume increase thing from Amazon and was so excited to get it in today.&nb ...

I have a service that rerecords from the hospital server and then we download from the service's server. The sound quality is absolutely atrocious by the time it comes to the MT with most jobs sounding like they were dictated on a cell phone inside a cardboard box. I am presently using a Boostaroo which make the audio louder but does nothing to clean it up. Is there something I can buy that will improve the quality? TIA ...

Jul 24, 2012

Is there anything at all I can do to increase the dictation sound volume when I get these whisperers or people using cell phones, etc, and I can hardly hear them? I guess some of them are just sitting too far away from the dictating equipment, but they are never going to change. They are always going to be barely audible. Is there anything I can do or buy to amplify the sound with these dictators? I already have my computer and speakers set on the highest volume. I' ...

Jul 27, 2012

Boost didn't help me like that at all. In fact, it didn't make any difference at all in my production. Only learned tricks to keep my inactive time showing as less. Also, according to statistics given in the statistics report, I am producing about the same as most others - which is still minimum wage (in my state). Even the average production is barely above minimum wage (in my state). ...

Basically, it's been working out fine until one day last week when I received an email from the transcription manager saying that was "short on my time" on one specific day. I was confused because while I agreed to work first shift on specific days, I wasn't aware that I was strictly held to a specific schedule and wondered how they were keeping track of my hours worked because I do not punch a time clock. I assume they are keeping track of the hours I'm logged onto th ...

It's like a switch has been flipped since yesterday, and I also notice my Teamwork timecard has my manager's name changed to the new one. Guess this is what my work flow will look ...
