that they couldn't believe that anyone would build a platform with code that was so archaic and out of date, with parameters that could not be fixed without rebuilding the whole thing. I've worked on much more reliable platforms. They are out there.

The tech support person should be able to help (sm)
I know you have to email the Expander file, but can't for the life of me remember where exactly that file is located. Tech support told me where to look. They will have to convert it, and then will email it back to you and tell you how/where to put it. They are very, very helpful.
I believe you have made an excellent choice, by the way.
Sometimes yes, but sometimes no. I always ask the tech person or the recruiter before hiring. nm

I just confirmed with the tech person and the office -- they do NOT offshore sm
and are quite adamant about it. You should get your facts straight.
And it DOES state at their web site that they do not offshore. I had the link at the bottom of my post.
You really should get your facts straight before posting such things. So far, i have been very impressed with the company and how I have been treated. 
Contact said pay was on time but there's a real language barrier with their 1 tech person. nm

I also worked there. Hated DocQScribe & left after tech person toasted my

I tested and passed Med-Tech, interviewed and was told they had opening- but I guess
I made the mistake of typing the name IC as "individual" contractor, and the recruiter e-mailed me back with the corrected "independent" contractor, and later sent an e-mail and said they were not hiring and that if anything should become available, they would contact me. I have since found that they have hired since that time, but no one ever contacted me again. I figure it was "their loss", not bragging or boasting, but I know I would have been an asset to the company. IMO
They seem to be a pretty together company though. I occasionally go to their website and read their quarterly "whatever you call it," and they always have interesting information in their for transcriptionists, and about the company, and the QA standards and goals. I would love to have worked there. I hear they have good benefits too.
Well, when I purchased my computer tech support told me Vista would not work...sm
They said that it would work but it would cause a lot of problems because of the way the hot keys are setup on the Vista. They advised me against getting a computer with Vista. So it was very hard for me to find a computer that did not have Vista this year because everything had switched over. I bought a used one!!!! Just so I could avoid problems with my work.
I don't know if this helps or not. Just letting you know what I was told. Good luck!
This is the same person who told me
that there were job openings on escription and Dictaphone. I have a friend there who had been trying to get moved from dictaphone to escription. When she asked him (the next day) if she could be placed in one of the escription openings, he told her that there were absolutely no openings on escription when he had just told me the day before that there were. I had to actually forward his email to my friend to prove to her that he had just told me that they had escription positions.
Now they have been lying to people, telling them that they have hourly positions just to get them to test and then telling them that they can only have a by the line position BECAUSE THE HOURLY JOBS NEVER EXISTED!
I don't understand why they think it is necessary to lie to people because the lies will be revealed here on this site. Maybe they just think we are too stupid to figure it out.
The person that told you that LIED like a rug.
If you have it in writing, I'd turn them in to the FTC or BBB for false advertising. $30,000 is pretty respectable.
Anyone told they must come in person to train....
when being hired as a home transcriber? Silent Type wants me to come to New Jersey for a 2-day training period (I'm in Ohio). I've being transcribing at home for 14 years. I'm stunned at this and have declined but just curious if any of you have been told this.
I know of one person who recruits for 3 different companies. She told me
s
Transcend tech support - ???- sm
They are the absolute worst I've ever seen....probably why all the technical PC questions. You won't get any support after hire, that's for sure - at least not within 6-24 hours of your problem!!!!
"twisting The Knob" - if each of us told just 1 person in medicine about how this is done
We don't have to bad mouth.
We don't have to lie.
Just educate 1 institution - each of us - tell a clinic, tell a doctor group, tell a hospital. Tell them about how the billing has the capability of being manipulated underhandedly. We already know we feel like we are typing in quicksand. How can I be only typing the same number of lines that I did 20 years ago and yet now I have word expanders, computers, dictionaries that "ride" and drug books that "ride" and I don't have to lean over the look up drugs or words - and here I am making the same line count. It doesn't make any sense. "Twisting The Knob." That makes sense.
 Educate, that's how we will bring back our jobs to a reputable place.
RE: "twisting The Knob" - if each of us told just 1 person in medicine about how this is done
As you describe in your post, I would venture to say, you are in a very small minority. Otherwise, why would there be any need for documentation in a medical record?
Are you talking Trans Tech or Transcend? Could be either one.
The only work available at Transcend is the junk accounts that they don't trust the MTs in India to do. I'm sick of the work going there, and it's very obvious. They stink at communication too. Sooooooooo, I vented and feel much better.
When I applied and tested they then told me they did not hire IC at least the person I talked to
said that. I had applied because someone else said they did hire IC. So I actually dont know if they do or do not hire IC.
I talked to the insurance person yesterday (we all have her phone #). She told me sm
that the holdup was the insurance company and the fact that all KS employees did not get their paperwork in despite phone calls and emails. They needed both the applications for those who want it and the waivers from those who don't, apparently a federal requirement to prove that they offered it to everyone eligible.
The date of effect might still be 6/1 and everything will be retroactive with cards in the mail this week. They will know today.
I am excited about. I too have been without insurance for too many years!
When Transcend bought the company I worked for we were told they did not do IC, just PT/FT... sm
so this is news to me! Maybe they allow different things for different companies they buy. I also understood a little while after the merger that all accounts would move over to their platforms, but now I am reading that maybe not all of them did with other mergers. I am sorry you all are going through this! I remember how it was thrown on us so quickly too.
Have you considered radiology tech or lab tech?
A lot of the credits you have acquired for nursing transfer to both of those programs. Probably a little less stressful.
try transriptiongear.com's tech support. They do gearplayer tech support whereever you bought yo
transcriptiongear.com
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Svcs?
Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for? Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa? Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to
:+
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm
nm
We heard Transcend is buying Keystrokes next. I'm not working for Transcend. No Way !

If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
then doesn't that make MDI a company that offshores? That's like saying that one branch of a company offshores but another does not, so they are excluded from the offshore label. If MDI-FL is part of Transcend and Transcend offshores, that means that they do.
RE: If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
Your hypothesis is incorrect. MDI is a wholly independent subsidary of Transcend, therefore, they were not a part of the experiment to offshore to evaluate cost/benefit ratio that Transcend only tried for 90 days (I believe the evaluation process is not still ongoing).
Med-Tech
I worked there for 2 years and I liked it fine. The company has been going through changes internally and going onto a neew system, so I don't know how it is now. You do have to work in-house until you get up to speed (I think that is still applicable) No problem with getting paid direct deposit every two weeks. Supervisors and QA people are readily available for questions/problems. A very fair and nonabusive QA team Some have not liked the company, but I found them fair and easy to work for, one of the better services I have been involved with. They deal with hospitals and large clinics, no individual practices. You get a variety of work. You do have to start out working evening shifts, I believe....like I said I've been gone for a while, but I hope this helps.
Med-Tech
I tested with Med-Tech a few days ago and I got an E-mail today to contact them regarding my scores. Does anyone know if this is a good company and/or if this is good news? Thanks!

Med-Tech
Are you still working for them? How is it?
tt tech
how is the technical department at transtech? Is it better to have your own computer or are theirs pretty reliable??
Thanks to all in advance. I would appreciate any input.
Med-Tech Help . . . .
Does anyone else work for Med-Tech? I got my first check but not my second and no one in payroll has responed to me as of yet. Do they only pay once a month? Or only cut a check over a certain amount? I'm really tired of fighting for my money with these transcription places. It makes me sick. I work because I have to work -- it's not like it is just a hobby!
re: Med-Tech
They pay on the 1st and the 15th of the month. When did you receive your last paycheck?
MT Tech
 Why do they have a flashing "now hiring" sign? Everytime I call in for work the pool is dry!
CPR Tech
Also did a short time with company. Dictaphone needed and second line. Thought platform was easy enough. No training given, jump right in with heavy ESL and super speed MDs (was told ESLs but not told almost every dictator would be one). Rerecording makes ugly MDs even worse. It was assumed experience in all fields. Pay was on time, however.
Med-Tech
Does Med-Tech offshore?
Maybe the tech can get in there and see if
s
T-Tech
I know there has been a lot of discussion about T-Tech on here lately but would like to know if there is anyone there who really likes it and would be willing to e-mail and share their experience. Would like to know about schedule flexibility, software, ESL, etc. Thanks in advance.
Med-Tech
Is there anyone out there with familiar with the company Med-Tech? Any information grealy appreciated.
Ask Tech
There is a word Expander on BeyondTXT. Ask them. I do believe they can include what they call a short-cut which will export your Expanders over. Not exactly sure, but they are really helpful... glad to see we have new MTs.... keep in touch if I can be of help. Im relatively new but would share what knowledge I have. I work on BeyondTXT for 2 months. 
can't the tech help you do that?
x
Tech should help
The techies are very aware of how to transfer your MQ Expander files to be used in MDI. Ask Matt or Greg, they have been doing this for years! Ask them about the aco file, do not try to do it on your own.
MED-TECH
Anyone know what MED-TECH pay is starting at? I have a year exp. I am wondering what kind of pay the offer generally. They sent a test to me. I hate to waste time on testing if the pay is not good. I already have one job with bad pay. I don't want another.
Med-Tech
Does anyone in the world work for Med-Tech, at home or locally. Infomation on this company is like looking for a ghost!! It's like no one really works for them. Even locally. Or is there information that you just can't get on this company? If anyone has worked, is working, or has any info on this company please share.
MED-TECH
Did you take their test yet? It takes the recruiter awhile to get back to you. I passed their test and was offered a job, but it took awhile. For various reasons, nothing they did, I turned them down.
Med-Tech
I don't know. I Emailed you.
Med-Tech
I think they are in Covington. I spoke with a man.
Med-Tech
Hello MTs: I was wondering if anyone had any information on a company called Med-Tech located in Metairie, Louisiana. Is pay good per line, are they a dependable company, do they pay on time, just general information. Thanks

When an OSi tech person is in your PC, I would watch every move they make, especially when they are setting up your OSi email address.
