Dragon an industry-wide trend?

The company I work for just increased our production requirements from 220 to 240 LPH for ASR and for straight transcription from 150 to 160 LPH. They gave their reason as industry-wide production requirement increases. Anyone else out there have the same problem. ...

I know and accept the fact (albeit grudgingly) that ASR and offshoring are the wave of the future, but do you think that as the economy improves that things will cycle and what we do will once again become valued with the recognition of our value being reflected in higher salaries? Or do you think that the unhappy reality is that regardless of the economy salaries will either remain stagnant or continue to trend downward? Thanks in advance for your input. ...

I have noticed over the past few weeks that the majority of transcriptionists wanted ads (not on here) are in-house only. I saw 11 job postings today looking for such and all were for in-house in different areas - and that's just today! One of the companies I have a contract with has lost an account in the past month due to their hiring in-house staff instead. Anyone else notice this? ...

I have been noticing a trend lately here on the old board. Starting midweek, some posters start with the meanness, the insults, the name calling, nastiness and it continues through the weekend, Saturday seeming to be the worst. Anybody else notice this? It was quiet yesterday, usual normal venting, but no meanness or sarcasm or insults, and today, wow. Just sayin' ...

around 9:00 p.m. Central Time. Any other MTs running out of work consistently around this time? I am wondering if the work starts getting routed to India around this time, because India is about 10 hours ahead of the US, so it would be morning time for India. The work just stops downloading and not even one job trickles in. ...

submission? I'm with a company that does this (amongst other bordering on unethical things)....I'm sure we all know what company.......cough MQ cough........ Anyway, is it just this horrible company that docks pay for QA over 5% and also if you fail an audit? I really wouldn't have a problem with docking of pay for failed audits IF they were fair, but this company doesn't know the meaning of the word fair. Just wondering if there are other ...

I have been looking for a better job for about 4 months or so. As of today, I have trained for 3 untenable situations. I won't name companies because my intent is not to slam a particular company, but to see if others are seeing a trend of companies saying anything (including lying) to an MT to get them to come aboard. 1) A company where they were to pay hourly, but once I signed on the dotted line, it became production...with hourly at some future date. As pa ...

Anyone else notice a trend that you get assigned to a "new" account (new to you and to Nuance) and work slowly builds up to a good amount, then starts to get out of control and behind, then starts to dwindle, then eventually it's such a trickle that you're constantly out of work? This has now happened to me 3 times, and I'm beginning to wonder what's going on. I know that staffing increases, when things get behind secondaries get pulled onto an account, and that a ...

Another poster below mentioned that her hospital hired its own MTs, stopped outsourcing work. It seems like most of these jobs are in-house, but I was happy to read that her hospital had all its MTs working at home. How I wish I could find a job like that! The few hospitals in my part of the state that do hire on-site MTs are too far away to make commuting an option, especially with the rising gas prices. I've been looking at hospital employee MT jobs nationwi ...

As a group, we need to talk, fax, email our state representatives to explain what is going on in our industry. Give them your personal story. We should all do this 3/1/2010 and the first of every month until something is done. If they get enough complaints/responses, they will help us. They will start and talk to each other and realize how many of us are being abused. We need to have state and federal regulations to protect us from these companies. Due to&n ...

I'm new to this board, but have been in the business a while. There's obviously a lot of dissatisfaction on the way work is being moved to India and Speech Recognition. Its affected me, too. But, it is what it is. The healthcare facilities are being forced to cut costs, and the MTSOs have to respond to keep the business, which is unfortunate for us. First, there was India. HealthScribe, Focus Informatics, CBay, Heartland and others pushed this ...

I don't know why I'm posting, just a last bit of hope left in me. I have devoted my entire adult life to this industry, what I used to consider a career. Over the decades, I became a top-notch professional MT, basically 100% accuracy, never needed QA help, and was a huge producer. Fast forward 20 years, and I climbed up the ladder in our industry, joining QA, being a team lead, then up into management levels, and.... rather than have my salary 'commensurate with ...
