proveros true colors
Guys, 42, 41, 30 days who cares. Can you see the attitude of the chick who keeps saying stuff is DEFAMATORY...can you imagine dealing with a person like this on a day to day basis and and then again when you DON'T get paid even after 100 days. Bottom line...they don't pay. Avoid this crazy Indian owned company.
I took it and passed with flying colors
and it was not worth my time for what they are offering - to anyone who had not taken it - my advice is DON'T.
I will take one with a skirt, preferably spring colors. nm

I passed the MQ test with flying colors putting 2 spaces
after a period, so I don't think that's why you failed.
I've ALWAYS put 2 spaces. That's how we were trained, and that's always been the correct way to type a document. I'm so sick of the BOS's bull, though the company I'm with now follows BOS, but we all put 2 spaces still.
Okay, just a little frustration showing ...
Don't let it get to you, if you can help it. Life goes on. Good luck.
careful.....your IP is showing......LOL!

Nothing of mine is showing.
Don't worry 'bout me ;-)
Maybe I'm showing my ignorance
But I don't know why it wouldn't. When we use these platforms, at least in theory they are not supposed to do anything to our copy of Word. They just sort of overlay it with their platform. Over the last couple of years, I've accumulated several different platforms on my desktop without problem. Maybe if you tried running both at the same time you would run into issues, but using them separately should present no problem.
ur ignorance is showing now..
You stated VR demands constant checking and correcting throughout the whole document.
Those are the MTs who are so terribly outraged about the change to VR because they cannot make usage of their so helpful, comfortable and practical Expanders anymore.
How dang dumb is that statement. Those helpful, comfortable and practical expanders are what made us more lines and thus made us more valuable to the MTSO by making them more money! Sheesh....
Dennis Paulik not showing up
You know what...those 2 ladies did his dirty work for him...the 2 of them have built quite a reputation for themselves. I wonder if he (Dennis) will turn around and find them to be overpaid so that they will find themselves out of jobs too. Let's be honest, there's nothing they do that a person from India can't do...Just remember...you reap what you sow. That motto applies to not only to Dennis but to Kathy Clemmons and Colleen Neidert as well...because remember, God doesn't like ugly, which is all that they seem to have spewed here. This is a horrible situation and if I were in the shoes of these 2 women, I would worry if I would be the next person to stand in the unemployment line.
Your anonymous and just showing one of the reasons
that SS is a horrible place to work.
typed "thanks" at the end of the above msg, not wha'ts showing there. nm
I've been working 5 hours and it is still only showing 250 lines. It will
come up eventually correct, but seems to take forever.
Is Transtech payroll being done in-house now? My DD is not showing up yet today and it always is.
I know payday is Monday, but mine has always shown up at my bank today. I hope they don't start delaying our paychecks because it is being done inhouse instead of being outsourced.
Anybody else see their's in bank yet?
Again, your post is showing your lack of knowledge of the company now. sm
I am not going to argue with you but suffice to say that RD is no longer here either. It has obviously been a while since you were an employee of the company. I don't know and don't care why you left/or were let go, but do not speak of something you know absolutely nothing about. It only looks bad on you.
It was a web-inar showing how to use the BCBS insurance site, mostly. sm
Talk to HR if you need more help. It was presented by BCBS, not our HR group. Showed how to access your account, benefit stuff online.
Want to call you all kinds of management but showing them, no response at all. zzzzzzzzz

Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
Not necessarily true. That is not a true test of skill.
Do you know how many people get others to take tests for them? It happens and it happens more often than you might think. The only skill that shows anyway is that you can do it.
We are actually more than a transcriptionist. We are specialists in our field and we are supposed to know some things regarding anatomy and physiology as a working base. That's how we can judge if a physician dictates something in accurately and many do because they can't pronounce or just are not thinking. That's why our skills of basic knowledge come into play and that means basic knowledge of body parts. If our job was just to sit there and type without thinking about what we are transcribing, then all patients are in trouble and this is just based on what I see as a QA person.
It's more than just knowing how to transcribe and some of the companies have discovered how to know what your basic knowledge is based on what you have picked up with your experience by utilizing your references etc. Hopefully that utilization of your references has taught you something that does stick in your head.
Beliefs like yours are just so far off base. You have to know what you are doing. It's not just about being able to listen and type. Base knowledge is a very important thing and the services have to find a way to know that knowledge base that is there in your head.
Hey, guys!
I'm glad you're here, I find that guys can sometimes tend to be a little less emotional and more objective than girls (please no flames, just MHO!). And specialties...I love path, too, but have only ever been able to do it in-house. I've been doing Onc for many, many years and love it absolutely, but it's not that easy to find at-home. I have a fabulous account now, but I work for the apparently doomed MQ, so now what? RadGuy, was it only money that motivated your stay? Do you think your account will stay with MQ? PathGuy, have you thought about tapping into more vet stuff? Will they pay better or the same?
Glad you guys are here...

Thanks guys
I took my time and used my reference materials that I have and thought I did pretty well. Guess not. There were a few questions I did not know the answer to so I guessed, but would never do that on a report. It was very disappointing.
I wish I knew what questions I got wrong. Almost like QA'ing the test would have been helpful to learn from that.
I will keep trying because I am still looking for job. Not happy where I am right now.
Hi Guys!
Well, I think I am still in shock, but the panic has been hitting hard today. I just found out this morning that one of my kids looks like he will be facing surgery on both of his eyes in July! Great timing, huh! I am just worn out! Last week took its toll both physically and emotionally.
I hope everyone finds jobs (the right one for you!) quickly!
Take care of yourselves!
How about these guys?
Any info on Aero Transcription in Maryland or U.S. Transcription in Iowa? TIA
If I were you guys (sm)
I would start looking. I know you reach a comfort level where you are, but TRUST ME, there are reputable companies out there (I work for one) and believe me, you are better off leaving now, before things crash down on you just when you start feeling comfortable again. Good MT's can still find work in this country, and they are paid in dollars, not rupees.
thanks guys -- could
you e-mail the account name or some specific hint so I if apply I can be forewarned? Thanks.
Thanks guys...
your help is sooo appreciated. From the frying pan into the fire is not a good thing.
Thanks again!!!
P.
Hey thanks guys
<3
As good as it feels tho to be able to feel hopeful about the future, I guess the pessimist in me wont feel truly elated until I've started my new job and quit my old one. But hell I'm happy regardless LOL It's just such a huge load off my worried mind !
Thanks again and I hope to be in close correspondence with any present and future Transcenders, maybe we can help each other out at times :D
Thanks to both you guys.
Thanks guys
for all the great info. I will let you know how I test.
Can you guys believe this!!!
I am sick and tired of taking these so-called top notch transcription tests with the most difficult grammar questions, BOS-style like questions, abbreviations, what is a plural,etc, and only having an hour to complete the test. I just recently jumped through hoops for a compnay I shall not name. The VP told me I had exactly one hour to complete the all most impossible task. Well, I passed her fricking test. Then, she told me to gear up I had exactly until the end of the day to complete her 4 wave files. I completed them. After all this, she had the nerve to offer me a full-time IC position at 7 cpl. The wave files I heard require more than 7 cpl and why on god's green earth would I take an IC job doing acute care for 7cpl, I would be losing money. Then, she had the nerve to set a schedule for me Monday-Friday starting from 9 am to 5 pm. No thank you. I will keep right on looking. I do not need this stress. I am going in-house. I simply outdone.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Thanks guys
I appreciate the straight dope about this place. We all probably know what to expect with any national company, so we gotta look after ourselves ultimately. Medquist and Transcend have failed me pretty bad so I'm gonna try and do whatever I can (within reason) to make this work.
I'm hopeful.
Thanks again and thanks for the All Caps trick !
Wow! You guys, I'm so sorry! To have to go through this after...
all the drama you had to deal with at Focus. I had a bad feeling things were going south at JLG right before I quit back in July. I can't believe they didn't even offer you MT positions! Well, my opinion is they are going under and they probably didn't have anything to offer you. When I quit, I sent out an resignation email and never got a response. So I just quit working and started my new job earlier and nobody said a word. I thought that was a bad sign.
I was having trouble getting my pay checks when I quit and then right after I quit they sent out the email about not using direct deposit anymore and then I kept reading about all these poor people who were late getting their checks. It just didn't look, sound or smell good at all.
Man, it just goes to show you there isn't a reliable company out there anymore. Used to be when I first started working from home JLG was one of the most reliable companies around with a good reputation.
Well, good luck gals! Drop me an email sometime. It's still the same and use me as a personal reference if you need to. I have nothing but good things to say about all y'all!

Hey, guys.....
Hey, lighten up!
In the old days -- 20 or so years ago, or maybe as recently as 10 years ago -- those terms were possessive with the apostrophe and the s. It wasn't until recently that the definitive references like Stedman's (or should that be Stedman?) decided to drop it. If you read medical literature, you will see that in most instances the apostrophe s is still used. So it has changed, and a lot of oldtimers (and M.D.s too) still put the apostrophe s at the end.
I prefer the apostrophe s as most docs dictate it that way and that was the way that I was trained to do it many, many moons ago.
Hey - You guys that are IC's
Forgive my total ignorance, but why do you guys choose to be IC's? I have been an MT for very many years, but all I really know about IC it is that you have to pay your own taxes and you do not receive benefit. I am not currently using my medical benefits (hubby's), but are there other perks? Do you make more $$. More flexible scheduling? Do you just like to have your own clients, and more than 1 or 2? I would think having your own client would be more profitable than to do IC work for a company, cutting out the middle profit. I see so many IC positions now but I thought that was to the company's benefit.
Exactly. You guys need to get over it -
lots of companies operate this way - they just tell their workers about it. It's nothing new or earth shaking. Get a grip.
How do you guys know so much info?....sm
I have been working at OSi for almost 2 years and never get any information about anything...other than from this board. I got the email this weekend about the coordinator job and have been wondering since who left...and hoping that it is not mine, who is awesome. I like working there and have had zero problems since the day I started, other than being made to switch to SE from IC, but all this nastiness is starting to worry me too. When I started up with them I could not find a single bad thing about them...now it is all that I see.
Do you guys know of anyone hiring for
If I could find a psych account I would be in heaven.
Thanks guys. Seems as if it is the same thing everywhere.
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!
I declined it. Thanks guys. sm
I just can't survive on $10 less an hour.
Thanks for the info guys :)

TT. You guys like working for them?
I am currently in the testing phase.
As an outsider to MQ, isn't anything better than what U guys
x
How do you guys make that much?
How many years exp do you have? I have a little less than one and am struggling with money. How long did it take you to start making that much money a year?
Hey guys, got a question for you!
I work for this company part-time, ExText platform, pays for spaces, headers, footers, etc. at 9 cpl, easy to get lines, M-F. I am considering going full time, but there are a couple drawbacks. They don't have PTO. They pay only for 5 holidays, provide health and dental insurance. What do you think? Should I take the dive anyway. I really would like some 401K with match since I'm in 50s, and would love to be able to take a week's vacation. However, it is easy to whack up 250 lines per hour on the system with the spaces, headers and footers. Any opinions appreciated. Thanx
Well guys, you convince me --
from now on I'm going to demand that I have work. I don't care if it takes it from someone else. That's too bad for them. I'm just going to worry about me and my pocketbook. The rest of you don't matter. Thanks for the push!
how do you guys know your on the same account?
maybe you BOTH are speaking to quickly eh?
Hey Guys, tell me if I got "dooped."
I just recently started a new job and was offered 8.5 cpl and and accepted it, now I am feeling I should have at least held out for 9 cpl. This is going on the second week and I am only up to 7000 lines on my 8th day. Is this about the norm. I have worked for some companies where my production is up after about the 2nd day. The company offers BC/BS with low premium, dental ins, 401K no match, life insurance, short term disability, holiday pay, personal day pay, sick pay, vacation pay, incentive of 1.5 cpl for any lines over 12,000 lines per pay period, every 2 weeks. The account is a huge one with all kinds of work types, but not a lot of ESL, and I also have an excellent backup account that is not as large with a few ESLs. Do you think it would be wise to ask for a raise in 6 months or maybe 9 or 12. Thanks for the input.
MT - CNN says hot job 12/27/08 Did you guys here CNN -jobs to go into
This morning 12/27/08 CNN had some economic expert on there telling people about the HOT JOBS that will be secure. First one he said Medical Transcription. He said 18,000 MTs will be hired a year. Where is he getting this info? Just thought you guys might be interested. I find that questionable. What do you guys think?
Thanks guys for your suggestions.
this problem with. Yesterday I was even beginning to question if she has the correct MLS when she directs these corrections to me. The work does not look familiar. I'm making a good attempt at the suck up game :-) and saving all the emails. I guess I'll give it a few more days and see how that works out. I've just never been in this situation before so it's kind of an eye opener I guess.
