to hear back from them.  I felt like I did pretty good on the test, but I was just wondering if it usually takes a while for them to get back to you?

TIA!

Darn it.  They want to give me an account.  What is bad about them may I ask??

This company is located in North Carolina and I did check archives but could find nothing regarding them.  Are they a new company?  Anyone with info please fill me in on pros and cons, please.  Thank you.

Did anyone apply and hear back from TransPortal?  I was contacted for an interview and never heard back.  I was just wondering if anyone else may have had luck with them.

Thanks,

Got an email that they liked my resume, would call the next on the phone.  Never got the phone call.  I called the following day and left a message for the recruiter that I was still interested in talking to her.  She called back the next day and told me they had nothing available but would keep my resume on file. 

Another total waste of my time. 

Are you referring to Transportal?  I work for them.  They ROCK. :)

Hello,

I have a phone interview coming up with TransPortal, and I was wondering if any TransPortal MTs out there could comment on the Scribe platform.  Has it gotten any better to deal with? I have read some past posts both here and on the CS forum about it being a pain in the neck.  All other info on the company seems to be great aside from the platform.  I'm hoping to hear that they have the bugs worked out by now...  (especially assuming I have Vista!)

Any info, pros, or cons will be appreciated!

Thanks! 

I have a phone interview with transportal today and I was wondering if anyone knows of that company or works for them. I would appreciate any information.

Thanks!

I have just been offered a position with Transportal but I do not know anything about them.  I am not finding much on this board about them either.  If anyone can tell me about them I would really appreciate it.

Thanks so much

Thanks for responding.  How long have you been with them?  Do they pay by check, direct deposit, or do you have to get a prepaid VISA card? 

Thanks again

I did look up prior posts on these companies but did not find the answer to this question.  Do any of these companies hire IC?  Do these companies base full time on line count or hours if they have employee status?

Thanks for your help.  I am trying to narrow down my search.  I appreciate it.

I'm reposting this in hopes that someone will see this and give me updated info on TransPortal. I have tested with them and should hear back from them this week.  I've read everything in the archives, but I was hoping for some updated info about their platform.  My other post got buried under the MDI and T posts.  (Not knocking their posts, by the way, as I feel sorry for what they are dealing with...)

Anyways, here is what I originally posted a while back...

If anyone has any info before I interview tomorrow, please let me know.  My biggest concer is the platform.  I can type 1200 lpd with no problems, but every platform I've tried in the past seems to produce nothing but dinking around all day instead of $$$.  Hopefully this one will be different.  The test doctors sounded great.

Thanks much,

Debbie

Any info about steady accounts, benefits, flexible scheduling from anyone who may work there would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.

The test tape was definitely horrible, and actually isn't a fair way to test new MTs for any account.  I had 2-3 blanks left in the end.  All they told me about my results was that they were below their levels for employment. 

I asked to see what mistakes I made and asked what my actual score on the test was, and they never got back to me with any results after I emailed them several times about it. 

The test itself consisted of 20 questions and 10 reports to type.  Who would think 2-3 blanks out of all of that would result in a no hire.  I guess you have to be able to do that tape without any blanks or questions at all in order to pass and get a job with them.

I have not worked for them, but I tested for them.  The test job I did was about 50 65-character lines long and at the per page rate they were offering it came out to  4 cents per line.  Don't know if all the jobs would have been that long, but I got the feeling they would all be pretty long.  For long reports you're better off getting paid by the line.  So you've got to be careful in comparing your current pay to what they're offering. 

A C-phone is a phone that you dial into a digital dictation system with.  It has a footpedal and you can plug a headset in, and you just transcribe while listening to the dictation right over the phone line.  It works real well.

Hope this helps somewhat.

have changed files, but I didn't have any problem hearing them.  Typically companies will put some of their worst dictation as tests, especially if they have a high percentage of ESLs.  In the past there was a problem with scoring of the tests and it would mark things wrong that weren't, but I think that is fixed now.
