I have answered that many times.
If you don't want to provide that info you don't have to but they don't have to review your incomplete application either.
I asked this before and don't think it was answered (sm)
Have you ever heard of or worked for Orion (OMT)? Been offered a job and am considering it.
You asked, I answered. Both things I stated
say *how* I know those things. You didn't ask the other poster how she knows they pay on time or that there is always work. Somehow, I don't think you're a person wanting to apply for the job.
Fact: The owners are not MTs.
Fact: They have lost some accounts recently.
I know both of these things I have direct knowledge of, they are not things I have heard.
Hi. Did you ever get your questions answered? If not, let me know.
I'd be glad to help if I could..
Questions not answered
I learned that they are not going to answer our questions for now. I have no doubt they know the answers. I would think they would ask these questions before they agreed to sell out. It is just so frustrating that they will give us absolutely no answers to scheduling and pay rate. Surely they asked these things!
In other words, MQ still has not answered any questions
than to say THE ONUS IS ON YOUR BACK! Get the lines, sit in front of a computer you probably can't type on due to no power, lightening, frozen up, no work.......or expect to lose employee status.
Of course what is employee status with them but a word. It gives you nothing.
There is no way that company should ever offer EMPLOYEE status to an at-home transcriptionist.
And in doing that they should also be made to pay CONTRACT FEES, not employee wages as they are trying to get away with.
When MQ bought out my company there was no change from "employee" line pay up to "SE" line pay. It stayed the same. How insane is that?!
They screwed us from the start. And knew it.
I haven't read all the posts yet and haven't gotten the all important package, although I have quit MQ a while ago, I'm sure it will come, they never know who they have working for them! - but do they even offer Statutory Employees as of January?
OK - I work at TT and I answered the questions
I was answering the questions she emailed me about. Maybe I should have put her part first and my part last.
Hils questions answered...
They are a great company! I get paid on time all the time! It is usually around 4 days after the last day of the pay period we get paid. I do all of their physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy (with the exception of one account). I am part time and usually work around 20 hrs a week, give or take how busy the offices are. I usually type anywhere from 5000 to almost 7000 lines a half. Pay is good. The QA girls and bosses are awesome! So helpful! A benefit of their company is that you are never out of QA. I know that sounds weird, but it's a great thing because that means two sets of eyes are always looking at the notes before they are sent to the doctors. You still have to do your part and work hard and make sure you try not to leave any blanks, but they are really good if you have a couple still. I still have a P.T. that I leave a blank here and there for...she's an interesting dictator! LOL. I love my account and wouldn't trade it for the world. I hired in at Hils and about a month later purchased a used minivan!!! I make enough money to pay for the van payments, my girls catholic school tuition payments and food/gas for the family/cars. My husband pays the rest. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask! I'd be glad to answer any! 
All your questions have been answered in the archives
many times.
I've answered your questions repeatedly.
You have also answered mine by getting so defensive. If you worked for TT in the past and were so unhappy there, as the previous post seems to indicate, then why would you be, and again I am QUOTING your original post, looking into TT.
I'm through going round and round. Good luck. I hope you find or have found a place that makes you happy!
Is there a good site to get DQS questions answered quickly? nm

Someone has asked about them at least 5 times
this week. If you'll scroll down the page you'll find info, also check archives. Nothing good. Indian company with a store front office in US.
That is a question I have asked many times and
cannot get the answer to. Even when being as nice as possible, you will still have people that will bite your head off. I guess it's just their nature to be that way.
This question has been asked many times
Please look through the archives.
I had asked this several times, but got no response.
Everyone seemed to love the VR at TT, but no one would give an approximate percentage of VR reports that were 80% to 100% correction. I asked this 3 different times and there were all sorts of responses from TT people after my posts, but yet no one answered this question. So I kind of figured that it was a high amount, so I never applied.
I'm sure it has been asked 100 times but any company have pathology?
Have asked several times for a back up account.
I'm still waiting....
this has been asked many times lately. Use Search box below Google box

I know this question is asked a million times but who is good to work for
anymore? I have 13 years experience and I work at a hospital part time but I know I can make more on production plus I need the flexibility because I have osteo in my back and other health problems that require me to kind of break it up if you know what I mean. I'd only like to work 4 to 6 hours a day, make a decent line rate, and have flexibility of having a span of time within which to get my lines done. I don't need benefits but do not like IC status; I prefer statutory. Any ideas?
Most of the questions you ask have been asked
dozens of times previously. If you spent a little time going through the archives you would find the information.
My experience with a company may be different from Mary down the street, so you have to investigate for yourself, read all the posts and decide for yourself if company might be a good fit for you.
the OP did not badmouth; simply asked questions.

But this wasn't your transcription test. She just asked you questions,

I just think a lot of questions are asked on this board that should be private so to speak...

Too busy working to post anything...plus no one has asked any questions about them lately...

Answers to some questions asked about TransTech out of Houston, TX
Different platforms -- Dictaphone ExText -- very clumbsy/clunky editing platform. Probably 85% ESL now that so much VR/editing being done.
Big push for more editing, so what straight transcription that is kicked out from the voice machine is absolutely horrible on the ears! THE TRUTH and nothing else but the truth !

Pay half for editing/VR work . . . yuk !
Different strokes for different MT's, but I work to earn a living, not for the fun of it ! Transcription used to be a FUN profession, but lacking now with all the jobs going to VR machine.
A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but
to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
Thanks so much to all who answered!
It makes it worse when your posts don't get answered either!! But you guys did, and they stayed long enough for me to read!! No, I am not impressed so far. I could have been hitting the job boards myself for a week now!! Happy nearly weekend!
Is MDI-MD the same as MDI? Sorry if this has been answered before. nm

i answered
your e/mail and it bounced back to me ???
Sorry nobody has answered.
Landmark - can be great when there is work. As far as I know not steady enough for full time. Pay is not great as they don't pay for spaces. MDI-MD I know they get lots of raves, but I have known some who have not had things go well. I would definitely try them out before leaving Q. Of those I know who did, several are struggling. No experience myself with them. I know from the past, though, that I never leave one before I know the other is all its painted out to be. Best wishes.
I just answered you below.

I have already answered this above. nm
This has already been answered. Only
you can decide. Neither has a great reputation, but Transcend is probably a safer bet than Softscript, but again, only you can decide.
you may just have answered sm
a question for me. I don't work for the same company, but my company just lost the ER part of a huge account. Asked questions for over a month about what was going on and only got the answer that things were slow. Bull! all of a sudden. Finally was told yesterday we lost the biggest part of the ER account which slowed everything down, due to budget restraints.
I am wondering if the ERs went to VR and nobody is telling us. I have come to the conclusion taht all these companies will LIE!
I wish they would figure out that they would be better off to let the MTs know at the beginning what is going on so they could make informed decisions about getting other jobs. So frustrating!
Are you happy now? I answered them all.
I cannot believe you would side with someone who shouts at people for not having any worthwhile input to the questions. People can search the archives for information about ALL the companies listed. Otherwise, Google will bring up any comments made at this and other MT sites. I was not being nasty. Why is it so hard to believe that out of 60-100 views, none of those people worked for XX company? Believe me, honey, I've been plenty nice around here answering technical, newbie and word board questions. You don't shout at people who try to help. THAT is nasty and offensive.
Just answered a question, that's all.

Please disregard. You already answered. nm

Thanks to you guys who answered...
on Oracle. Guess I don't know about the platform since I saw some not so favorable reviews on using it and being productive, am trying to figure out what exactly I really need to get started purchasing and I don't think at this point a C-phone would be one I would be willing to purchase. Thanks for the info!!
Anyone out there on JLG and their platform? Thanks!
Nobody has answered my JLG inquiry...
Please somebody tell me. Good to their MTs, flexible, how is pay, what platform, how is QA?
We hav recently answered these
Look on page 2,3,4,5 etc...
Sorry, just noticed nobody answered you yet. sm
The benefits are pretty good regarding PTO and holidays. If you are asking about insurance, the coverage is great with BC/BS, which you can use almost anywhere. All good providers take it. Cost depends on how many you are insuring. If you yourself, it is about $75 per month. Cost grows for spouse, or 1 dependent, then entire family. The cost for that is pretty high, but individual is good.
and there was no reason for you to have answered, if you -sm
felt uncomfortable or paranoid about the question being asked. It was not a requirement for you to answer anything. jmo
No one answered this. Does it mean what I think it means?
