and I apologize for not writing back.  Your last note is still in my inbox to be answered!  Anyway, the name of that company is Echo Transcription.  I know they have benefits (remember, MTA didn't) and that they used Docuscribe (?sp) and have part of a large hospital in Atlanta.  Good luck!

I ordered it, but haven't been able to get it to work right.  I'm thinking it's something dumb on my part, as a friend of mine says her daughter has it (in NY) and does fine.  The location should make no difference, of course.  I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Just so you know, there's no 800# to call, contrary to what my friend told me.  I've surfed around to find out what others have said about it, and the vast majority like the thing, so at some point I hope to get it to work. 

Maybe when you get it you'll post an update on it.  It arrived here really fast.  Good luck to ya. 

Are there any HAPPY MTs out there who are making a decent living at it?  I have been out of the MT circuit for about a year and was thinking of returning, but reading all of these messages about the different companies (hence post on Company Board has made me skid to a stop. I have been an MT for 24 years, but spoiled because I worked for local hospitals and have never had to deal with companies via the computer. I am thinking of returning to MT work and amtrying to make sense out of transcribing for national companies and which ones to apply to, but all of these posts are rather frightening -- particularly when you are a single mom who is supporting not only a child, but a grandchild.  Any help with enlightenment on whether it is worth returning to or not would be great -- have interviews with Diskriter and Keystrokes at present.  Thank you very much. 

I had a similar situation happen twice, I might add.  I got an E-mail from a recruiter on 2 separate occasions - same recruiter one year apart during my job searches; the recruiter was from Prohibity Transcription wanting to know when is a good time to schedule an interview.  I immediately responded and said anytime from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but to let me know what would work best for her schedule as I am flexible.

I never, on both occasions, received a reply back.  I sent a follow-up E-mail a week later, on both occasions, I might add, and never heard a reply. I called the company and asked to speak to the recruiter by name and got her voice mail with no return phone call.

I, too, have been in this business for many years with a proven track record and I used to get a phone call the same day my resume was sent out by companies, sometimes within 15 minutes upon receipt of my resume.

All I have to say is at first I thought it might have been a fluke the go around she did not respond to my E-mail.  The second time, I am not so sure.

My advice is look to the smaller MTSOs who are family owned as opposed to the Nationals - of course, with most of them, you are an IC, but I find you tend to be treated as a valuable employee and your hard work is appreciated.

It's been 3 months since I left the company, and I have not received my computer deposit yet.  I called and talked with HR and Accounts Payable, who promised me a check weeks ago.   I called today and was told they had a snag -- no one to sign checks, providing me with a lame excuse about having to send the checks to ATL next week, etc., etc.   NOT MY PROBLEM -- You took the money out of my check, now send it back since your computer was returned in good condition.   (Not to mention that I have not received my last paycheck -- haven't pursued that because it's less than $5). 

Also -- when I worked for the company, the accounts (3 hospitals) continually ran out of work.  I was to give WEBMEDX 12 hours out of my day, checking every 30 minutes to see if there was work, and then sign off if there was no work so as not to abuse the minimum wage laws (i.e. so they would not have to pay me).   This was the worse experience I have ever had with a transcription service.   HORRIBLE!!
