Hi,
Within two months, I have seen some people within my friend circle, they got work around 16 cents to 20 cents (around 8 rupees per line).
In lot of indian sites people are begging work for 3 cents and all for company purpose.
It is better to get work at good rate and improve the rates in the industry.

Agree with u Venu.
I don't think it would be manageable to run a company a 3 to 5 cpl. I think people will start up with those rates to just show that they have some sort of production going on in their unit, otherwise I don't find any profit with those rates. That too many people will put a clause that the bill will be paid x number of days after raising the invoice. But 3 to 5 cpl might be good for an HT.
There should be a in-depth discussion on this point but the question remains how. |

Hi
You are saying your friends got work. in this forum, i have not seen one ad also where the offer was as high at 8 rs/line. Can you name me one company which offers this rate. The max i saw was 1.40/line in this forum. Give us proof that MT companies are paying so high, Mr. Venu. |

Thanks for your reply.
Hi mtathome,
I am not talking about this forum. You can try in some export forums(one year membership with fee) and contacts from US for direct.

Hi Venu!!
When this forum's primary objective is to help each other why don't you give the other forums' details to get direct contacts from US and help others too.

Hello itsashy4u and Square,
I am also accepting that forum is for mutual help. They told me and they are doing their work. I want to inform people about this, but how they reveal the details. After lot of sweat and hard work, they got that, simply they cannot give.
One of my friend told that he will sell client at rate of 3 to 5 lakhs (6+ cents) with invoices and agreement forms with client etc. If you want, contact him. Already, Filipino candidate is dealing about that.

Why you are surprising for that rate. Now also Appolo is taking at 90 cents per line. Alert and Orient Transcription is getting $2.25 per line.

Dear All,
RE: Begging for work for very less rate
Let us chew upon this bitter truth. We Indians have been "boot lickers" for centuries, being ruled and bullied by various civilizations and invaders who came from far away places across the globe.
Centuries later now that we are "in-dependent," instead of holding our heads high, we believe in keeping our bottoms up! It is no wonder therefore that this same trend has percolated to almost any sector that has something to do with foreign trade, BPO sector being no exception.
This is the reason we, despite being hugely talented, meekly submit to any alien and under sell or hard sell ("undercut", if you will) our skills/talents/manpower, thus spoiling the charm of this wonderful industry...!
Your candid comments are welcome on this. I equally welcome bouquets and brickbats (gift wrapped, please)...;-)

Beggars can't be choosers.
There are some posts on this forum offering Rs. 1.10/- . I have seen some people responding for offers as low as Rs. 0.80/- . Let us be frank, we want work at any cost, and are ready to be exploited.
Let us not work for anything less than ¢4, then we can improve our finances, work, and self esteem.
The flip side of this is that - not many can offer the pure upload quality transcription. I have seen people with 6-7 years of experience and working as Proofers, QCs and even QAs delivering substandard stuff. A direct uploader should be 'near 100% accurate' (yeah, yeah I know, 98.5% accuracy is the industry gold standard.) For example, please go through the messages above, you can see so many 'bloopers' in grammar, context etc. Probably you can pick some in this message too. A US client never forgives a bad report.
Oh, yes, there are many worthies in our MT field, who can give a better transcription than a US MT. I think they are paid well.

Hi!!
We should thank Venu and many others who are making people aware of what are the correct rates in the market. Probably, now people who are capable of providing quality will not jump into the offers less than 5 cpl.
Message is clear, if one wants absolute quality they have to pay more.

Hi,
$$ Yeh Mera India, Mera Bharat Mahaan $$
It is noteworthy that many Indian wannabe MT entrepreneurs had hit the US shores in early to mid 1990s, salivating to stick their fingers in the $20 billion medical transcription/coding pie but returned with their faces smeared black due to poor representation and approach. You should see how pathetic our Indian business people can be, either in our home land or foreign land. Please go to the article (Thanks, But No Thanks by George Heymont) to be found at http://wwma.com/kamt/ka00005.html
And one more at http://www.wwma.com/kamt/fools.html
Regards,
Indian MT

Great insight inidanmt! Yeah, I have gone through those blogs. Quite nauseating stuff, is it not? The saddest thing is that, all of it is true!

Thanks itsashy4u and indianmt and others....
Fact is if you are HBT for upload people are offering 1.20 to 1.80 for direct upload. If you have 20-30+ seater then you can get around 5+ cents. Direct upload means direct upload(100%) there is no deviation. Otherwise, they will stop within one or two days or penalty will come without any hesitation.

WHY BEGGING WORK FOR VERY LESS RATE
