Focus is Indian run and you'll be editing Indian
work, so seriously doubt you'll make a bunch of $$ on editing. 99% of the MTs love KS. If you'll just scroll down the page you'll see dozens of posts about them.
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
It isn't the Indian people we should be made at as they
are just trying to do a job. Yes they are taking jobs from U.S. citizens and not just MTs anymore. A local bank is sending 4000 jobs to India (and I'm closing all my accounts with that bank), lots and lots of companies have their call centers there. It is the U.S. citizens wanting higher wages and the greedy CEOs who have sent the jobs to India and elsewhere. I do get extremely frustrated when I have to call for service on a piece of equipment and I get an Indian, who speaks very good English and is very polite, but doesn't seem to understand English and is of no help at all, just reading off a computer screen and offering no resolution of help to my situation and repeating back to me everything I say.
I still can't understand though why we do the Indian dictators here, who are very challenging overall, and we send the good stuff to India. Why not send the Indian dictators to India?
The same thing happened to me 2 years ago. That Indian creep gets people to work
for him. He gives this scale of how you are supposed to be paid, but it NEVER, EVER is the high range that you KNOW you are owed and deserve. So, then your production and earning come up and they are WAY off base. On top of that, he either pays you late or not at all. This is fair warning...DO NOT WORK FOR CALLSTREET!
Here's a news flash for you... many people make MORE money editing....sm
in the same # of hours in a day than they do straight transcribing. I know because I and others with the company I work for do. When I was straight transcribing I averaged making $12 an hour. Now that I'm editing about 90% of the time I'm averaging making $13.50 an hour. Now THAT pays the bills faster, and I'm still working the same # of hours a week! 
Just because someone posts that VR is the wave of the future doesn't mean they're in management - they're just being realistic about what is happening in this industry (just as they referred to the copier and PCs).
Of course if you think it's really going to hurt you to do VR then perhaps you should go back to an IBM typewriter and get your own accounts. After all - using a PC and expanders is helping you get paid for work you're not actually transcribing (yup, think about those expanders - I bet you're not fussing over getting paid to have those kick in instead of having to type out those words, or consider the header information that blows in for you from an ADT feed that you're not having to manually type).
Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

Go to their Indian website or other Indian websites

I think your getting it all wrong.. She is probably doing VR editing..not the same as QA editing..
Does make a difference as you are not correcting someone's else work.. just VR to make sure the sentences make sense, right punctuation etc..If you have good English skills, it is not that difficult but this 1.5 cpl is a joke.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
Indian ran?
ugggggg
They ARE Indian!!!
If you want to take a chance and not believe what you read, you will see for yourself that they are ALL Indian RUN!!!! Some people are so hardheaded....they are a horrible company and Bobbi is a real MEAN person to deal with as well....NO WAY FOR FOCUS!!!
CMT for Indian MTs
As an Editor who worked an account for several years transcribed 100% by an Indian company, I am surprised to hear they are able to pass the CMT certification exam. Their transcription was comical at best and sheer nonsense at worst.
HIS has been Indian since day one.
It has not one whit to do with AAMT. This company tried to recruit me years ago when they were first started and they were Indian then and still have their heavy ties. You lost your jobs because Manor Care will not be deep pockets to a dying entity any longer and can't even sell the damned thing!! Blaming AAMT is easy. I think the letter you got may have been from the executive director and not the President. Each of us, has to take responsibility for the choices we make with employment and having been through a lay off with HIS I had to blame myself ultimately for making a choice to be lied to and believe it because it suited me at the time. Offshoring is over 15 years in existence and I guess here to stay so the next time you make an employment choice be sure you pick a company that does not offshore .. in the meantime, put the blame where is squarely belongs at your own doorstep and not AAMT.
...that should be Indian MTs. nm

Indian MTs
There are always exceptions. I emailed often with one of the Indian MTs at one time. His English was probably better than my own. I think he was starting up his own transcription company and he was kind enough to ask me to work for him. (I was already working, but I considered it nice of him to ask). Really, I do think he was the exception, he was a great fellow. He was supporting his mom, his father had just passed away. Now he has gotten married. I do not exchange emails with him anymore but, if there were others like him, they would do pretty good. I do not really think that there are others like him though. Honestly, my primary account probably has 80% of his nationality. Wish they could type those.
Indian.

Didn't you know this board is run by Indians??
I wonder what they pay the Indian MTs? ..sm
I guess it is now equal, we are paid the same as the Indian.
did you mean by chance Indian
.
So is that why the new US MT supervisor is Indian?
?!?!?!?!
I was doing some research on Indian
MT companies and from what I can tell probably all work is done in India. They do hire U.S. editors, or at least they used to.
So, are your editors Indian?
I highly doubt it.
Indian company (nm)

That is correct! I don't! Obviously if you can tell they are Indian....

indian company
i bet it's an Indian company
Sounds like an Indian to me...nm
nm
They are not an Indian company - they are in NY
but they were offshoring A LOT of their transcription work. In fact, they lost quite a few clients about a year ago because the quality of the transcripts was just AWFUL!
Indian and Philippine.
yes.
I don't know name of company, but there is an Indian
company with at least a store front in MA. Tech people could possibly be in MA, but are probably in India.
You mean they are hiring US MTs. Wonder why. They are almost 100% Indian. nm
:
All of the Indian MT work I have
proofread is full of errors. I guess there are exceptions out there.
Says they also use Indian MTs on their website. nm
s
Lartech is in TX but I think is mainly Indian run.
and very much slave labor pay.
They are Indian owned
Do a search on the Company Board. Many negatives and they are based on India. Can they even post job ads on this board?
Do you mean apart from them buying 2 Indian co's
They are wonderful for Indian MT.

OP is probably Indian, hence the spelling.
nm
What's up with the Indian job ad on the classifieds?
Good grief!
It is an Indian run company.
Indian Company, are you sure??? nm

Indian MTs versus US MTs sm
I QA'd Indian work for about a year and a half and for the particular ones I QA'd, they did not seem to grasp feedback. The same errors by the same MTs would come across again and again. Additionally, please remembers that most of the Indian MTs are sent to cream of the crop dictators and all that is left for the US MTs are all the crap. That combined with low rates, they try to do as much as they can to try to make money and pay the bills. Just my opinion; please don't flame!
Indian company........nm
xxx
they are an Indian Company
nm
Yes and no. They are an Indian company so
$$ not bad if you live in India, but they only hire US editors to clean up the junk tha comes back from India and that is no where near enough money. Because of them my company went out of business.
They are Indian owned and run.

Indian MTs are not as productive as US MTs
It's a common fact; they send work to double QA. There was an article in Advance that I will try and find to provide a link that states this.
I doubt Transcend would lie about the work they send to India in their press releases and investor calls, they could get into a whole lot of trouble, and for what reason - just to stop the bashing on this board?
