Transform testing process ?
I took the test last Fri p.m. for Transform and at the end of the test it says they will get back with you in 24 hours. (I'm not expecting that over the weekend obviously.) That same evening, I emailed the person that had invited me to take their test and let her know I had completed the test. Just curious how long it really takes them to get back with you and if they get back with you even if you didn't pass.
Thanks for the info. Have a BEAUTIFUL day!
Does anyone know what their testing process is like? nm

Testing process
Just wondering if anyone else thinks that taking an actual transcription test that consists of a total of 6 different voice files is a bit too much. Three maybe, but six (6)?!!! IMO they should be able to tell if you are any good at just giving 3 different ones. Any opinions on this matter? M

Can you share their range for voice recognition editors?
Is this radiology?
Application process/testing
I am starting to think that all of this application and testing is a waste of my time! You spend hours at your desk and seem to get nowhere and not even get hired!
Anyone willing to share Axolotl, Keystrokes, Transtech & Webmedex cpl range?
Looking... Thanks!
Do they have both a written and verbal testing process? Thank you. nm

If an MT takes time to go through the testing process...
MTSOs should take the time to respond, even if it's an auto-response, letting the MT know that either they did not cut the mustard or that the position was filled already. It's the decent thing to do. That's the benefit of computers. It's not the personal touch most would prefer, but it sure beats sitting around waiting for an answer.
Sten-Tel in Mass. and their testing process
I need a 2nd job really bad. I have worked for Sten-Tel in Mass. before and know that they do not require you to work any certain hours and do not have a minimum line count for you to meet. They also pay on time. I applied to them and went through their entire testing process. I finished this last Friday. By Monday evening, I hadn't heard anything so I emailed human resources asking for an update. No reply. So, I emailed again Tuesday and I finally got a reply back saying that my test was received and that it takes 5-7 business days for me to get an answer and the human resources person said she should have an answer by today. I wait all day and hear nothing. I email her again asking about the status and I do not get a reply. This is really irritating me. I know I did good on the test. I don't understand why it is so hard to get back with someone. Should I just say forget it and try to find somewhere else? I really don't know of any other companies that are very lenient with the schedule and have no minimum line requirements. If you know of any, please email me and let me know.
I want to get opinions about this testing process I'm in the midst of...
it feels like I'm doing work for the company for free. Two weeks ago, I submitted an online application and downloaded a test file for this company. I completed the test file and sent it via email along with my resume as instructed on the website. I then received an email asking me if I was still interested in the position to which I replied yes. I then received another email stating they were sending some attachments, a punctuation and grammar test and basic medical terminology test. I was told to complete those tests and email them back. I was also asked at that time to fill out a 5 page job application for the company which I did and forwarded all back the same day.
I then received an email two days later telling me I was now ready to begin the second phase of the hiring process and that they would forward me a confidentiality agreement to sign before I could continue testing. I then received an email instructing me to download FTP software from the website and install it and then wait for the next phase. I did as instructed the same day and emailed as instructed.
Finally, using the FTP software they sent me several folders with the last phase of the test. The last phase turned out to be 16 voice files which seemed to be full clinic days of 8 pt. a piece for two different doctors along with pt. appt lists, etc. I felt as though I was actually doing work for free for this company. If I had to estimate, I would say they are probably going to get about 700 to 1000 lines of free transcription from me if I were to go ahead and finish this test.
I have NEVER in my 16 years of being an MT and working for national companies encountered a test like this. The most that I have transcribed for testing purposes were four reports totalling no more than 500 lines if that. Quite frankly, I'm ready to say forget it! At this point, they have said very little about the job, the pay or company. There has been no phone interview.
So what do ya'll think?
I don't remember the testing process as being extraordinarily difficult
but the person I tested with in HR is no longer there. What I liked best was interviewing not just with the HR person, but also actually getting to interview with my Lead, so I got to ask real relevant account-type questions, etc. Pay is not the hightest, but definitely not the lowest - more middle of the road, but at least I always have work, so that's not an issue. I'm only PT, so I don't get benefits, but we recently got sent a new benefits plan, etc., and it looks good to me for FT employees. Give them a shot. There's a lot of bad press here about them, but I think it's old info, nothing current.
Current Deventure line rate range??
If anyone cares to share what their range is (straight typing), please post or email me. Would also like to know what the average weekly cost is for family coverage. I have read through the archives and saw info on rates, but it is old.
Transform out of Wyoming....anyone with any information, please share...thanks!!
Is their platform easy, work great or not, what is their pay scale?? Thanks!!
Transform testing...
I sent them a resume three weeks ago, took the test and got their automated response. I haven't heard a peep from them. I gave them three business days and gave up. 
Current or former Transform? Questions...
Anyone else at Transform find that each report takes a couple of minutes to come up? I'm also finding boggyness in the platform to where when my macros spit out (even short ones), the system is slow and a letter or two is missing from the words. I'm constantly backspacing and correcting. Sigh.
Any current info on Transform and Meridian? Considering both. NM

That's correct, but I only pay employees share of taxes. sm
As an IC, you have to pay ALL the self-employment tax. It's an entirely different ballgame. Plus, my insurance for a single person only costs me $21.45 per two week pay period. You aren't going to get an independent policy that cheap. Plus, we have quarterly bonuses besides the tiered incentive. I work for a hospital at home. More and more hospitals are going to this. It's a lot more secure than any service I ever worked for. My point is, options are out there, one just has to look for them. 10 cents a line with no benefits is NOT a good deal.
Any MDI-MD employees care to share their experience? sm
Could anyone share their experience from training to being released on their account and the workflow? Is there plenty of work.... On Bayscribe is the work pooled or you pick and choose the work? My account will be out of Washington, D.C. (SH)
InterPro present or past employees care to share your experiences
I'm to take the test tomorrow. Thanks in advance
Why not ask current employees if they
can type on ALL the platforms, or if they would be willing to train on them before placing an ad? Very typical for MDI. I'm sure a lot of MTs ask for more work, given account information only to find there is no work on there as well! This company just never ceases to amaze me!
Current MDI-MD employees - sm
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am curious as to what type of LD service everyone is using (and have been using long enough to know that they aren't going to get shut down!) Mine (Verizon Freedom) is not going to work for me anymore. Other than this, I love MDI, but I may need to look for employment elsewhere because of this problem.
This is for current SPI employees
We have to fill out all new paperwork, job application, withholding forms, an employment agreement, and a binding arbitration agreement and waiver of jury trial (scary-basically stating we won't sue them). I think this was for all the Cymeders that SPI took in.
Current employees please
I would appreciate just posts from people who are currently working for this company. How is your work load? Do they overhire? Are you getting enough work to make the incentives on the incentive tier? Pay on time and biweekly? Are you spending a lot of time in demographics before transcribing reports with the platform? Thank you!!
Current OSI employees
Hi. I was wondering if you could please tell me a little bit about OSI. I couldn't find any posts from this year, just from years past.
What is the current pay? How are the accounts? What platform do you use? Overall negative or positive?
Thanks for any information that you can provide. 
Current Transcend Employees
Would you refer a friend to Transcend at this point in time as one of the best to work for as far as nationals go? Why or why not?
Current employees of Diskriter
Can people who currently work for Diskriter email me? I was offered a position there yesterday and want to talk to someone who is there now and can offer some insight on this. Thanks in advance.
Current Diskriter employees
I am looking to chat with people who currently work at Diskriter. I have seen a lot about this company good and bad and want to talk with someone who works there at the present time.
For current Medware employees...sm
I am thinking about going back to MW, just because their benefits are so hard to beat, but how has work flow been on the Dictaphone side? Are there still a lot of changes as far as leads and such? When I left things were rather up in the air with several people leaving as fast as they could. Thanks. 
any previous or current MRC-MD employees here? sm
Can you give my any pros or cons? Is platform productive? Plenty of work? Alot of ESLs? Are they nice people to work for? thanks
Any current MedWare employees?
I have seen some bad press but am curious about how the cmopany REALLY is. Thanks.
Are there any current ATSI employees out there?..
If so, please give me the scoop. How are the benefits? Is the pay on time? How about supers? Particularly radiology. Thanks a bunch.
IntelliType...current employees
Would any current employees please tell me how they like working for IntelliType. I did talk to the recruiter about a job but it seems to me as though their pay rate for IC status is a bit low. What do you think about this? Do you feel you are able to earn a good living with them. This is for their ad regarding hematology/oncology. Do they have enough work? Platform good/bad, etc. Please let me know if you make a decent living. This is very important to me. Thanks so much for your help.
Are there any current Diskriter Employees here?
I would like to hear from anyone currently working for Diskriter. I am not interested in hearing from former employees at this time as I have read the archives, which is why I would like to hear opinions from current employees or recent new hires only. Thanks!
What - no current employees at Zylomed??? (sm)
If you're currently working for Zylomed please take a few minutes to update all of us on what it's like now. I would hate to have to rely on two to three year old archived messages when making a decision about working for them. Certainly I and other MT's would prefer to make an informed and well researched decision. Please help us do so!
Any current or former USA Medical employees out there? sm
I saw their post on the Job Seekers board. Can anyone tell me about them, good or bad? What platform do they use? Are they decent people to work for? Please feel free to privately email me if you wish.
Thanks!
Current Transcend employees - how about (sm)
their platform? Is it anything like DocQScribe or is it like Dictaphone ExText?
Also, I understand there are schedules but is there any flexibility? Do they work with you if you need to change times for unexpected events, etc.?
Is the work pretty constant? I know it fluctuates greatly this time of year, but am speaking generally.
Any other info appreciated. E-mail if you wish.
TIA
Any current Spheris employees here?
1. Does Spheris have speech-recognition or editing work?
2. Can you do just SR or is it a mix of MT and SR?
3. Do they pay flat rates for SR (what range, please) or a percentage of your MT?
Thanks
Any Current MedScribe employees?
Positives on Medscribe?
Current MDI employees see message
Hi, anyone working MDI only full time and feel they get good income and not work a second job? Are you able to get the lines you commit without feeling the need for a second job? Just curious as I want to be able to work full time for one company and not two.
Any current ASCEND employees?
I would like to hear from any current Ascend employee. How is the work and are they truly paying on time? Do they have direct deposit? Thanks!
Question for current TT employees....sm
Just wondering how many of you did NOT respond to the email telling us we need to do VR? Or did respond stating you did not want to do VR? I said I was not interested in it and now am worried about losing my job, not to mention the weeks of no work.
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about
their proprietary software and how it is to work with?
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about...
In response to Dana, my supervisor doesn't answer ANY e-mail I send her so not sure how flexibility would work in that regard. My accounts with SR are absolutely awful; make changes pretty much throughout the entire report. It is nice to hear, though, that someone actually does well with this company. I have tried to find positives and I have yet to find one thing I can say I like about this company. It is a job, though, until I can find better....
Current Zylomed employees
Looking at applying with this company. Not too much recent in the archives. Can anyone tell me what they're like to work for?
Offshore? True IC (set your line amount in 24 hours)? Flexible employee schedule?
Pay on time? Good pay rate?
Comments on the platform? Work available?
Thanks for any input!
Current employees can you give me info? sm
Considering sending WebMedX my resume. How are they? Pros, cons, no bashers please.
they could care less about the current employees they are running out of a job. n/m

Execuscribe--Current information?? Any employees out there.

Thanks, but I was wanting feedback from current employees/ICs.

eMTS - Question for current employees
I'm being tested for a position with eMTS and would like to know how you do on the platform. I read in a previous post there were several, so please let me know how you like the one you're on. Also, how many lines do you average each hour/day/pay period? If you could share what your hourly equivalent is, too, that would be helpful.
Have you had any problems with not being paid on your paydates ever? Hoping it's a stable, responsible, professional company.
Thank you for responding!
Have read archives, but can any current TRS employees ... SM
share how it is there now, specifically whether the required line counts are doable and if they generally have good accounts - also about the benefits. Thanks!
