UPDATE: CARD AND GIFT CARD ARRIVED TODAY FROM TRANSCEND. USPS STINKS...
It tooks what looks like over 2 weeks to get there. It could have been shipped to a third world country is that much time. Shame on USPS. I guess you get what you pay for..even at 41 cents.Yikes. Sorry to my employer.
Transcend always sends a nice handwritten card and a gift card
I just got my card today, and it is still five days before Christmas.
You really cannot please all the people all of the time, even when it comes to gift giving. I am so surprised at some of these comments.
Merry Christmas to all!
Our gift card and Christmas card were appreciated.. Check this out......
I have only worked for MDI a few months, but I can tell you they appreciate their MTs. Compared to the doctor I have worked for 9 years for and whom USED to give me a $1000 bonus, but this  year.. NOTHING.. I had been working both jobs, but that made me decide to tell the doctor to take a hike and devote all my time to MDI.. where I'm appreciated...
I received a Christmas card and a gift card 2

I appreciated the Christmas card and gift card..
I don't feel that the MDI/Transcend plays favorites at Christmas. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the signed Christmas card and gift card. Also, I work the holidays when someone on my team wants the day off. This is a good company to work for. I agree with the above posts--if you're not happy, there are other companies who may suit you better. Happy Holidays to all! 
I got a card and a gift card They are always very good
to us. Transcend has nothing to do with it.
Got a card but no bonus or gift card.

I think a gift card (sm)
Wal*Mart, Amazon.com, something like that. It's the thought that counts. It's nice to feel appreciated!
I get $100 gift card from my doc plus
a wonderful card thanking me for all the hard work I do all year round, and my company sends a $25 gift check.
Gift card
Hey, maybe for someone an extra $25 would come in handy. We do not know each others situations. The one thing I do know is the amount of income lost this year as compared with the past.
No, the poster was saying that it would be nice to be recognized, that we are not computers placing words into computers, that there is actually someone somewhere making sure that the work is accurate, on time, and profitable. None of us have our collective hands out..
I got a card and a gift.. as did everyone I spoke to
You may want to wait a few days and take that back.
Did you send her a card or a gift? nm

I got a gift card from Transcend!
I am very happy about thank and thankful for a great job!
Transcend gift card
I got my gift card from Transcend today too. Its not a ton of money but every year they send us one. It is nice to be remembered.
We usually get a gift card for Walmart.. Last year,
I donated mine to a single mom whose 10-year-old was not going to get a Christmas because mom couldn't afford it. I've been a single mom so my heart went out to her and I got a bunch of people to donate items i.e. tree, ornaments etc.. food, gifts etc. I felt good about it and I know my employer would have felt good about me donating it to a family in need.

A card and $25 gift check from TransTech. It was

Did you ever get anything? I'm perplexed why some people got just cards, some got card and gift c
and some of us nothing. I can't imagine they forgot some people but it's starting to look that way. Oh well, at least we have work.
I was sent a gift card by mistake- addressed to my supervisor
I emailed my supervisor and she said sh ewas expecting a gift card in the mail and to mail it to her. I called the company... they said it was a mistake.. So, I am wondering, did only management get giftcards, or did all employees but me get a gift card. I happily mailed the card to my supervisor. I also sent my notice of resignation to Probity.
Who is expecting a bonus/card/gift from employer this year or (sm)
plans to send card/gift/etc. to their employer?
I thought a card to my supervisor (if she is still there) from MQ would be appropriate. Actually that is the only person I have contact with anymore. For all the years I have worked at MQ, someone, either supervisor/area manager, etc. has sent a card. Hope it continues. Miss the personal touch of working in an office sometimes.
My second job I don't know exactly how many are in the office, but thought sending a group food type gift if shipping alone isn't a killer. Haven't been with them long, but they are so sweet, I bet they also send out cards and bet they are personally signed and not just printed.
Geez... the "merger" was three years ago and I still got my gift card (today!)
Thank you Transcend - I love working there.
On another note though,isn't it amazing how people can come here and complain about a gift?? Wow.
Nothing from Transcend, although I heard others got gift cards or at least a card. I've worked th
several years so if it was just a case of being forgotten that is still pretty pathetic. How do you forget your employees, especially when you get junk bulk mail from there regarding nothing that involves you..but at Christmas you were forgotten. Oh well, I have work and for that I am grateful so I'll be nice...
Worked for them for years. First time not even a card, email, gift certificate, acknowledgment of s
any kind. The new management is so cheap. Hope they aren't counting on the accolades of employee of the year this year. They certainly are not that, and not even in the top ratings. Everything changed this year. And not for the better.
TransTech sent an Amex gift cheque and a lovely card signed by all the office staff.
Very thoughtful and a nice surprise. I love these people.
Christmas gift appreciated, but turns out not to be a gift if there is no work the day after
Christmas Day. Yes, it was $25.00 (twenty-five). I lost that much this morning when there was NO WORK. I had so hoped to have a good paycheck this pay period, and was working very hard to have one -- as I need the money SO BAD.
I was appreciative of the $25, rather than some kind of novelty advertising token with company logo on it, like some MTSO's would give to a prospective client, etc. Oh, yes, I made very good use of the $25. I took it and paid my high-speed internet bill, a necessary tool for working my job -- which the $25 was very much short of paying that phone charge.
THANK YOU TT for the $25. 
TransTech MT week gift??? OR just low work gift??
Have any of you rec'd anything from TT for MT week gift yet?

I use express scribe with my INfinity USB pedal. My is totally compatible.
Transcription Express
Anyone have experience with this company out of Houston? TIA
Express Scribe
Does anybody know if earphones can be used with Express Scribe? I can't find any information about this anywhere. Thanks.
EXPRESS SCRIBE
had the same problem when I got my new computer. Easiest way is to take it from desktop, and you can drag it into escribe.
Do you have Express Scribe......

Transcription Express, Inc. ...
out of Arizona. Anyone have any information (good or bad) regarding this company? Thanks!!
Transcripition Express
I tested with them, very simple. That was going on two weeks now. For this one account I was checking on they paid 8 cents a line, no more. I used DocQScribe for testing and never heard back from them. I would have liked to heard back from them though regardless to see if I passed or failed. I was going to be typing ER reports. Good luck.
freedom to express
I agree with the above poster. If you can't vent to people who are in the field about your good or bad experiences, then this is not a democracy. Personally, I do keep a lot of mine to myself basically because I don't like dealing with negative people who will judge me. It stems from not having a very supportive family and not being able to express myself growing up. What is heaven for one is hell for another but either way, people need to express themselves and get it out.
In this profit-driven healthcare industry, MTs are under appreciated and in many cases abused by management and perhaps isolated and ignored by other MTs. We definitely need a support system and these forums are supposed to serve as a support system out of the work place where we can vent and hopefully be comforted by kind words. We work in an industry that refuses to acknowledge the fact that if it were not for us, they would not have jobs. We are the industry but many of us do not feel we have much clout in the way we are treated, i.e. coldly, indifferently and there-are-more-where-you came from attitude. Lets start cooperating instead of competing especially in the forums and let people have their say and try to embrace with kindness. We all need a pat on the back.

I second that nomination! I'd do it, but I do not express myself
eloquently enough and this issue is too important for it to be written in a way that might come across as abrasive or offputting, even though that would not be the intention.
Has anyone used Express Scribe to take an on-test SM
test? I downloaded it, but I can't get the function keys to work. Any help would be appreciated. I am technically dumb! TIA
Those who applied at Transcription Express, sm
Has anyone heard anything back from Transcription Express? I applied on Sunday and have not heard anything and was just curious as to whether anyone else has heard anything. I have a lot of experience and thought I would at least receive the opportunity to test. I do realize, however, that with the number of views the ad has received, they are probably wading through tons of resumes. TIA
How to load Express Scribe
If you already haven't found out how to do it, save the files to a folder on your desktop, then go into Express Scribe, click on Load or load files (I don't have it on this computer, so am doing this from memory), then click Browse, then click on C drive, then click Desktop, click on the folder, then click on the files you want to load. In my experience, Express Scribe will only load a job if it has been saved in a folder. Hope this helps and good luck
Just feel the need to express my thoughts on VR, ASR, etc. ..sm
It is just tough to sit back and watch this evolve. I've been in this profession for many years now, and have watched voice recognition start to surface in some capacity years ago. It still is not where it needs to be, and I do not believe it will ever be as efficient as a skilled MT. Regardless, what really bothers me is that there are so many in this field being sucked in by these companies who are hiring for .03-.05 line of so called voice recognition editing when in reality you are basically typing the entire report over again, or taking just as much time as you would to type from scratch. The other scenario, in my opinion, these job offers being filled are simply to cover the incompetent work that comes in from overseas. Hire 100 Indian MTs and have a few good U.S. editors or voice recognition MTs who are willing to work for pennies, and what a profit you make as a company. I just wish more MTs would put their foot down and say enough. Let these large nationals lose their experienced MTs, and they will either fail as a company or up the pay scale for a qualified MT.
Transcription Express - Wisconsin
Does anyone have any information on this company?
Express Scribe does play that!(sm)
Not sure about Gear Player, but in open Express Scribe and go to settings, and then settings, and go to the tab files, and you should be able to check the box there. You can also go to the WMA file right click and select open with and then select your Express Scribe. Good luck on the test!
Are you talking about Express Scribe?
It's a little primitive, but it works well enough to take a test with.
Huh? I'm using Express Scribe v4.3 with Vista - nm

I did download express scribe but sm
I may be doing something wrong. I can't open this file in anything but windows media and it goes directly to windows media. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
BTW, why did you leave and do they pay on time?
Thanks
I tried downloading it into Express Scribe and it wouldnt go into that.
It's a mystery and they have never gotten back to me so I assume as I cannot play their sound file, I wont be considered for the job. I tried everything to get it to work.
isnt express scribe free? sm
i had to purchase my own bos and the software/pedal they told me to purchase was $129 (with their discount). they did provide the spellchecker, drug book, and Smartype though, so that was good. thanks for the fyi.
foot pedal- Express Scribe
Yes, I've got that far. I'm actually able to play now, but I still don't have all the kinks ironed out. When I play, it is warbled...I'm sure the problem is with my settings and my F-keys...can you help me?! At least I know now this pedal does work thanks to your telling me yours did...I kept plugging and accidentally discovered I had to click on Express Scribe when I signed in.... Thank you for your help.
If you are using Express Scribe, you can use your function keys and...
the instructions are in the Help section or maybe it is in Setup. Good luck on the test!
I used express scribe. Worked just fine.
