Home transcriptionists are exploited by MT companies by paying less or giving tough dictations to home transcriptionists.  In home transcription companies save on these grounds - they do not need purchase computers and foot pedal, rent for office space (in case they not have their own building), do not need to give tea/coffee/meals (if they are giving these to in-house employees in subsidised rates).  After saving these much amount also they are exploiting the home transcriptionists which is unfortunate.  One main reason for this type of exploitation is home transcriptionists are not connected to one another.  There is a need to connect all the home transcriptionists all over India in facebook like groups.  That will give good space to discuss problems of home transcriptionists, their exploitation, etc.  There are forums in facebook related to medical transcription like - i.e., medical transcription forum, transcription future etc.  If anyone know more groups please discuss it in this forum.
