Great company. Would highly recommend!!
Pays on time. Great owners. Very helpful. Nice software. Flexible schedules.
Could anyone recommend a company that is fair and doesn't show favoritism?
thank you in advance
I do and would highly recommend
Always plenty of work, awesome communication, just an overall wonderful company. I'm going on 2 years with them and have never been happier! Good luck!
I highly recommend . . .
SPi-BPO.
You may have heard that they outsource, but what they actually do is hire people in other countries to do work in those countries.
From numerous conference calls of over 50 people just on my one team, I detected no non-US accents.
(I'm in NC, work out of the Richmond, VA office, and work for agencies in 10 different states.)
Anyway, I don't know what their experience requirement is (and I'm one of those ancient veterans with over 20 years' experience), and I can't seem to find out on their website, though the fact that it does NOT mention a specific experience requirement and the fact that the testing site mentions new grads, it would seem they're more interested in what you know than for how long you've known it.
I'd be surprised if the requirement is all that much because most of the work is disability, mostly psychiatric, some orthopedic, and therefore not so technically dense, if you will.
They even seem like if they do have a policy, they might make an exception if you test well.
Anyway, it's worth checking it out--you can test right on the website.
(Never out of work, very clear dictators, allow use of former reports as templates; full employee status, part-time and full-time, including great benefits--even a few, like 401k, for part-timers, like me; only hire actual MTs as managers, etc.)
Sorry to gush; I really am an MT and not a recruiter, but I've worked for so many lousy companies that it's good finally (again, after 20 years) to be able to highly recommend one.
(And now, in fact, I do need to get back to work--yes, at 1 a.m.--flexible schedules too.)
Check it out:

Good luck, Dawn,

I would highly recommend
them. Pay always on time and direct deposited. Work easy and also as long as you do your work in the required TAT, they basically leave you alone. I would say accept the position, as they are really good to work for. R
I took Webmedx's course, highly recommend it...
I've been an MT for almost 25 years, but was still quite nervous about the exam. The course helped to keep my attention focused on the task at hand, helped to keep me studying faithfully for the duration of the course until I took the exam. I tend to put things off until the last minute, so the weekly webinars & study materials were invaluable in helping me to study consistently and to stay focused on my goal. Also, I learned a lot! The CMT Review Guide showed me my weak areas, but I concentrated my study time on the Language of Medicine, the 2nd ed. BOS, and an anatomy & physiology text. Also read Human Diseases by John H. Dirckx, MD, but I'm not sure that was very helpful. In the Webmedx prep classes, you'll get a lot of very helpful information & handouts, and the review questions will force you into the books!
I work for them and would recommend them highly. Email me if you
want to ask specific questions. oceansonata@aol.com
I cannot recommend Instant Text highly enough...
Here is a link to many many reasons why...

These will tell you why this program is the best thing that ever happened to my production.
Would not recommend Amphion
unless you want to be nitpicked to death by the one QA person.
Amphion - I wouldn't recommend anywhere else
Why do so many of you recommend Amphion? Good points, please? Thx. nm

I left MQ after years and went with a highly rate company on this board (sm)
my account has dried up and I am constantly out of work now...same with backup account. I like the company I'm with and don't want to leave but I HAVE to have a steady account. I realize there are slow times of the year but on this account they have overhired and now it's low a lot of the time.
You would think a professional would use the name of her company sm
and not a moniker to post with, plus like the other poster, I am not sure as a potential employee I would need to know about her 26 surgeries (26?!!!). I think I'll pass.
Professional Transcription Company
Anybody have any experience with this company? I haven't been able to find anything on them. TIA!
TRS I would not recommend a company
simply on the basis of having talked to a recruiter or testing with them without having worked there myself. I myself, did work for them and my experience was a less than pleasant one. Some of their equipment is outdated, dial in systems with so many different numbers that you have a hard time getting on because others have been given the same number, lots of confusion, very little communication and a great deal of turnover. Notice, they always have an ad out and always have openings. The good companies are hard to get on with. The horrible companies like this one are easy. They sing a very sweet tune so beware!
Can someone recommend a company that
of recent experience? I was looking at Transtech but apparently they hire only the best MT's (like Axolotl) and with a lot of current experience. I have 3 years of recent experience after raising my family but 11 years of experience back in the 1990s. Please recommend another company that I could apply to besides Transtech that is not so strict with hiring requirements. No way would I feel comfortable being released from QA after 1 day - I'm not that good and also being allowed to type unlimited reports when they have no idea what I'm putting out. That definitely would not be a good fit for me. I need a company that will work with me and understand that my experience is not all recent. TIA 
recommend company
If you get an answer, please pass it on!!!
Eagle's Landing. Professional Transcription Company???
Hi
Any good or bad comments about Eagle's Landing and Professional Transcription Company? Looking into them and want to know the good, bad and ugly before I apply. Thanks so much for all your help!
Then you need to be professional, give a company website than can be checked out sm
and let people apply there. Why in the world would you expect people to get their personal info to you, if you are less than professional yourself. I certainly would not, especially after your post here.
Needed on PTC or Professional Transcription Company. Please Share!

Can anyone recommend a company who allows you to type on just 1-2 docs M-F? SM
Pays every other week or twice a month, on time. At least paying 8 cpl and with an MT-friendly platform.
Thanks guys!
Know WedMedx,: Recommend. Good company. SM
Hi, Looking. Yes, you have to log in and out--good structure for people who'd love to earn more money if only they could keep their hands clicking. Very nice incentive scale for those who do. Good medical. Rest of benefit package slim, made up for by good earnings IMO.
Platform getting genuinely good now and continually improving; the old slowness people complains about seems to be gone.
Lots of ESL but simply not a problem for pros once familiar with dictators. Assigned accounts so you can get fast. Need more than one as they can empty out during those hours when a lot of people want to work.
Genuinely nice company to work for. Excellent support in a variety of areas. Very helpful education programs and groups to help develop skill levels, both medical knowledge and production. Study groups and monetary assistance getting certification, and more.
BTW, if you sign on, you now get to be called a Medical Content Specialist. Not sure what that means yet, but I'm newly impressed with myself anyway.
Bottom line: Good place for good workers.
Transolutions..a fair and good company..sm
I no longer work for this company as I did not like the platform (MedType)...however, if you want an honest and fair company and can deal with the platform, these people are great. I just got a birthday card from them 3 weeks after quitting. That is going far beyond the expected in my opinion. The people on their staff are wonderful to work with and if I could handle DOS-based platforms, I might consider going back to them...just not my cup of tea.
When the company line count is fair - it is easy nm

Amphion is just like every other company (sm)
not terrible, but not that great either. Just like all the others....
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Amphion is a company with smarts.
They are low-key, pleasant, and agreeable. No high-energy hassle from what I've experienced. I just may have to give up my blood pressure meds if I continue with them....lol!
Is Amphion a good company?
Does Amphion allow you to work a flexible schedule or is it set hours, do they require a c-phone, have a stable workflow.....? How is it working for Amphion?
If the company is Amphion, watch out! (sm)
I asked for acute care and was promised acute care (more $) but what I got was all clinic work, multiple clients, most not even over 1 minute dictations. I was disgusted. They still paid me for the acute care wages, though, because I was good. I left because of lack of work.
If it is Amphion, run.
Is Amphion a good company 4 radiology?
From what I've read they seem to have their act together, but what about radiology? Do they pay well? By report? Too many ESL's? Any info appreciated about this company in general...
I agree - Amphion's the best company to work for
f
Amphion is a great company to work for!
Great accounts, I have one primary that keeps me busy. The people are great to work with.
many recent negative posts of Amphion on Company Board

You obviously think highly of yourself
I don't know about you, but I am young at 23. I don't sit with books in my face looking at punctuation. I don't speak correctly or think of things like that in a superior way. You think I proof replies to my supervisor? Think again! Do you think she proofs hers? Don't think so. I have seen typos time and time again, but would I criticise her? Absolutely not. It is just rude. Don't put yourself on a pedestel. It makes you look bad in a huge way. You have no right to tell me I am not ready for anything. If I feel I am and my supervisor sure does, what does that make you? Ignorant. You are just upset and try to belittle people to make you feel better about yourself. I play games, I talk to real people, I do normal things, and I do not proof every little thing that comes my way unless it is called for and posting a reply is not called for, in a chat room is not called for, and in an e-mail is not called for either. Personally, I don't care what forum this is to be honest. I don't care if it were the PROOFING FORUM and particularly don't care if it is an MT Forum. Just don't do it. It is not right. No one wants to be judged all the time. I came here for advice and support and it totally backfired. I think this place stinks. No one is consistent. I will look to my supervisor and coworkers for guidance and they have, I am sure, a lot more experience than most of you in the field and they don't act petty and full of themselves. You all should really be ashamed of yourselves.
I am not proofing any replies, nor will I ever. There is no need to unless you are paying me, are you? Didn't think so! So, please proof and keep them to yourselves or perhaps you are the proofer of this forum and are getting paid? Didn't think so. It is a waste of your valuable time. Go get a friend and try not to grammatically correct them, k?
This is not even a place to make friends or to have someone to look to for guidance. This is like an animal war zone where people give crappy all over the place advice and instead of helping, make someone feel bad.
Good luck to all of you on this forum and I will not return. Like I said, I will turn to someone who actually knows what they are doing.
I don't need a raise so we are clear. I was just simply asking if it were ever done and then I opened a whole new can of crappy worms.
The Best Of Luck To All!
Proof Away and No Need To Respond.
Bye
That's why they are highly praised here. NM

Highly recommended by someone else...
another MT who I have a lot of respect for who worked for them as an IC in the past highly recommended them to me. Said the owner is great and the work is good. They didn't have what I was looking for at the time but I've kept them on my list for future reference!
QA is highly over rated anyway.
Wow! Is all I can say to this post. Who wants to be QA? Not me. I'd rather utilize my skills for the entire document, then fix others errors.
I highly doubt
I would really like the name of the VP that told you that. I don't believe that anyone at Transcend would tell you they were giving the easy work to the offshore people because that is all they can do.
I don't buy it.
I understand now, but I highly
left if they were all turned in to the IRS. They all pretty much treat ICs as employees and require line quotas, set hours (even though they say flexible), and often times that you be logged into a messenger of some sort to clock you. I just went through it, and it was sooooooooo not worth it. At 8.5 cpl, they can have their messenger and their set (but flexible) hours. It's almost uncanny how we are treated more like children than either employee or IC, for that matter. 
highly subjective
I think work loads are subjective and differ from person to person (account to account). I was hired to do a particular clinic and it was lost. Now I am scraping for work - many days sign on and no work available with repeated request for a replacement account and told there are none. So it really just depends. Some people seem to have adequate work loads and others are struggling with no work. Inconsistent.
MDI-MD does, and they are highly thought of unless
you want to work the PRN program which allows you to work at 7 c a line anytime you want. Of course, they say regular schedule is 1 day a weekend, and 24 hours turn around, no schedule, but the fact is they expect you to meet your line requirement, so you sit there 24 hours a day scraping for the lines. Due to overhiring, I am assuming. TAT and all. I'd rather have a time I know the work will be there at 8 c a line rather than overhiring and my scraping. Of course 7 cents a line for anytime you want is about the same. Pick and choose what you like. But as an IC they don't have to promise you work to be there at all. It's in the contract. Perhaps this company wants you to work a shift so they don't overhire for coverage. That is my take on things having been there, done that.
As an Andrews grad, I highly
I felt well-prepared when I got my job and never regretted having paid top dollar for my training; as with many things, you truly get what you pay for. In fact, many of the national companies prefer Andrews grads or M-Tec grads as the previous poster mentioned and as a newbie you will need every advantage. Good luck to you.
I doubt very highly its TransTech
After all she said she could use Ctrl I to view sessions statistics but Transtech disabled the ability to use that function.
I speak highly of TransTech, too.
Why would you leave such a great company that offers so much and that you were so pleased of and speak so highly of after you left.
Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels.
I highly doubt these companies are running in the
The other thing is you don't really see the invoicing that goes to the client. You are paid for what you transcribe. No one knows what the company is really charging the client. The client could be paying for spaces, but the company is not paying the MT for spaces, etc. There are all types of scenarios. The MT takes the hit, but if you are an MT that has had your own accounts, then you've been there and done that. With your own account comes more responsibility. So it sometimes tends to even out. Others have posted this that it is not so easy to take a week off when you are maintaining your own accounts. Isn't it so much easier to let an MTSO know you need a week of vacation, come back to work, and everything be just hunky chunky?
I highly doubt that it was someone in management posting. sm
They have other ways to communicate with their employees. It bothers me that employees post questions that should go to the office or their lead but still post on here. Go to the source. I work for KS and when I ask a question to my lead, I get an answer not a guess.
I worked for one of the highly touted companies sm
and it was GREAT...until they went overwhelmingly to voice and took entirely too much work away from the traditional MTs to give to voice. This was after they told us it was a CHOICE, but little by little they are forcing the issue with their MTs. It is NOT a choice! They are APPEAR to be somewhat overstaffed at this juncture.
I need to keep my insurance and I do have the belief that this company will come to their senses and nix so much voice. I could be full of it, but I really think they will. They are a hop and a skip from the hospitals complaining because the editing is EXTREMELY poor on the part of the MTs doing it. Time will tell. You will note, this is not bashing the company so much as bashing poor MTs who can't actually do the job put in front of them.
My solution was to go and find another job at a place that didn't want to go to voice at all. I posted my resume on another site and within 24 hours, I was contacted, hired within 48 and scheduled for setup/installation within 72. We are working on some issues, but this seems to be a very nice small to medium company. They are only offering IC, but that is fine since I have the above as well. They are willing to give me all I can stand of what I want and have voiced being pleased to have found me. It is I who am pleased to have found them.
With the state of affairs in America right now with layoffs and what I believe is a deep recession and/or another depression on the horizon, I DO FEEL VERY FORTUNATE to have ONE job and I have TWO. I don't know any other profession where someone who is looking for a job finds one within 24 hours! It has happened to me the last 4 times I looked for work, PT or FT. You betcha I know I am lucky.
Up until now they only hired highly experienced, top-notch
MTs. But, with their recently and drastically-lowered pay scale, that will likely change, and Acusis will become a company of newbies and Indians. Just like the other mega-MT companies out there.
I highly suggest you contact support. AGAIN we are backlogged.
DUH!
I highly doubt that. This is obviously a rumor. She is much too busy to bother. nm
