MT-World is software program
MT-World used to be its own company out of Dallas, Texas, but now it's software only for transcription services. Zylomed and American Transcription Services in Florida use MT-World software and merged with that company.

It does work around MS word...using your copy of word on your machine,..so you have to have your own spellcheck and Expander or have autocorrect set up

Welcome to my world. I have tried to warn others for over a year. Been there done that. Awful
They are by far the worst company out there. Dont forget that your whole check is docked anywhere from 5-10% based on QA checking your work from India. Hmmm. Never saw those penalties coming..It sure saved all of them money and you can bet the client paid full price. I remember seeing some of the work already done and all I could think of was, and they keep this contract because..... You would be penalized if a comma wasnt where they thought it should be etc.. and the line counts never matched. I mean how could you work 10 hours a day and be lucky to hit $50. I didnt know the difference until I went to another company using the same platform. I doubled my money and then some. Anyone who works for them can expect to be ripped off, definitely NOT the American way.

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
MT World
Nice platform, very simple does not have a lot of bells and whisles, but it is a nice typing platform and it interfaces with MS Word. On some you cannot get your line count, that was the only issue I had with it when I worked on it.
What in the world did they want to know?
nm
USA is not same as MT-World
 MT-World is now ATSI - American Transcription Solutions. Good company, but a lot of turnover in the office. Lots of work right now.
why in the world
I agree! I think the same thing has happened to me at MQ. I'm still waiting to hear back from them after training. :(
MT WORLD
Any info on MT-World in Clearwater? Have a pending offer in radiology.
MT-World
I've been working for them for about a month now so I don't know how much help I can be, but everyone there has been very helpful. Any time I have a question, there is always someone I can ask. Get paid every 2 weeks and so far have been on time.
How in the world would you know??
I thought people could post anonymously. BTW first time I have posted anything about TT in a long time. Im just watching these days. Pretty interesting I must say.
What in the world is going on at OSI?
Seems to be big changes going on.
Why in the world sm
did they buy an MT school? I have my thoughts about that. Mostly that they are trying to get rid of the older (higher paid) transcriptionists.
Whether it is a true town hall meeting, and we get to speak, is yet to be seen. In the past they told us to mute ourselves, and they just said what they said.
I think it's becoming a dog-eat-dog world out there
When I first started in this business and on this board, there was never a bad post. Everyone helped everyone with questions, etc.
Lately, with the economy and the world the way it is, plus the fact that MTs don't get recognition for their GOOD work and, of course, let's not forget the crappy pay, there are a lot of unhappy people out there.
I read an article in the newspaper today that stated in a capitalist nation, greed is good if it serves a purpose; i.e., jobs and prosperity; but if greed gets out of control; i.e., bonuses for the upper echelon and nothing for the true workers, then the role of capitalism is in the toilet. This is what is happening in our nation today and everyone is either worried about their job or trying to stay afloat with all the negativity in the job market and so, the nastiness prevails and turns into the dog-eat-dog world we all fought against a few years ago.
Things will turn around again, but it will take years of trial and error now. Whether it will be good or bad will depend on the attitude of the people and government.
I don't mean to turn this into a political post but I, myself, have been biting my tongue towards some posters and just trying to live my life the best I can. With DH only working 80 days this year and not able to collect unemployment, I am the total breadwinner, so it makes me a little sarcastic and/or mean, but not enough to post nasty messages....YET.
You have to let the negativity go in one ear and out the other and move on.
How in the WORLD do they keep.MTs? sm
Oh, i know how...they get paid well by their clients and they pay their MTs 6 cpl........
What in the world?
Ok, I am cracking up right now. You seriously have some problems. No, I am not the woman who lost her marriage. I am still married and wouldn't lose my marriage over a job. This is hilarious and thanks for the laugh. Like I said, go get some comfort food and calm the heck down.  You are totally losing your mind. Here is you ------>  Here is me ----->
Why in the world would anyone
NOT give the best they can? That is owed to any employer by any worker. Second-best doesn't cut it in this job.
What in the world?
MTs have become a total joke. What happened to this profession? I am so embarrassed to be part of this industry. Some of you are visualizing managers as drinking brandy and smoking cigars? Are you imagining them yelling 'let them eat cake too?' I wish I could tell you how I visualize most work at home MTs, but it might be a little too harsh for such a nice place as this.
What in the world????
Why on earth would an MTSO who KNOWS they are treating their MTs well and with respect, have any desire to come and visist this or any other board??? Only one way that my poor humble mind can see and that is because they KNOW they are not treating them well much less with respect and so they MIGHT feel the need to assess how angry their MTs are so they can plan damage control. I'm sure there are good SMALL MTSOs out there who do treat their employees well but I think they are fewer by the day.
One would think this board is for MTs to share their various experiences and those who are happy should thank God that they have it so good and those who are hurting, well it says a lot about the people who would put them down and pour salt in their wounds. There but for the grade of God goes you.
Best Company in the MT World
Stat-Med in Missouri - Pay is excellent, always, always on time. Owner is the best person to work for and I absolutely love it.
Greenlight - Pay is absolutely great. Owner is SUPER and again love working for them.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BEING A MT....
MT-World, any info
Any info on MT-World, good or bad??? Thanks!
Post about mt world
There was a post last evening about MT World being a scam, a couple people asked for an explanation and now the post is gone - why was it deleted? If this place is not legitimate we should know because American Transcription Solutions is advertising and they are part of MT World.
I do anything and everything. Why in the world are they hiring???

I did not like MT World either and I hated being on IM all day. nm

Its really World War III here, War of the outsourced
Go get those scammers.
ATSI, formerly MT-World?
Lots of work right now. Pretty good accounts, not a lot of ESLs. Direct deposit every 2 weeks. Good work platform. Some benefits.
Why in the world do companies -sm
Keep on hiring MTs when there isn't enough work for the ones they already have? I am disappointed to learn that a company I tested for, and accepted a position with, apparently does not have enough work to go around. I used to love medical transcription. Now I'm just downright discouraged and depressed.
What a world this would be if no one had to work on
weekends. Every store, every restaurant, every gas station, would be closed. What would you do on your days off? Of course, all patients would just lay in their beds in the hospital, have family bring food in, etc., because no nurse, no dietary department, no ancillary services would be open. And if you had an emergency, of course it would wait until Monday to be resolved.
Too many of those who do not want to work weekends do not remember the days that all banks were open M-F, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. except Friday when they were open until 6 p.m. No one worked at home. If you had to take care of any personal business, you had to take vacation time from your job to do that, including go to a bank. No servicemen made calls on weekends, either, so if you needed a phone installed (before the days of the plug-in lines), you had to take an entire day off to wait from the service person to show up, and prayed that they did so you did not lose another day's vacation while waiting.
We were happy to work weekends then because we did not burn up all our leave time for taking care of everyday business.
I'll work weekends any time you want me to.
Welcome to the real world. Try getting your
see how it works. I have a surgery center account that I bill once a month, on the last day of the month. And they have 30 days to pay. So work I do on January 1st, I might not get paid for till the end of February.
