Lots to do on Saturday and Sundays, come Monday morning everything dries up for the rest of the week. Overhire maybe or maybe the swarm of mosquitoes that blow in from the east every night?

Transcend interview today. Anyone care to elaborate on the ins and outs?
Their ad said Acute Care Transcriptionists and VR editors, so I am assuming that they do have some straight typing positions, right? I know waiting 120 days for benefits is a bomber, but I need something else like right now. How is the pay, incentives, communication, platforms, etc.
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

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.
And where did my work go today -
And offshore for no reason but to save money? Happy, happy, happy, very happy I don't count on MT for anything anymore!
Yup! Got one today and I don't even work there!
I haven't worked there since February! Up until as recently as a month ago, they were still calling me and e-mailing me asking me to work and type stat reports! The incompetency of this company just makes me sick. I had to finally call the HR person to tell them to stop calling me or I would report them for harassment as they were constantly calling me very late at night (10 PM and later). I have been gone from that hell hole for about 7 months and am with a much, much better company!
Work today
Steady between primary and secondaries, got my 1500 easy today.
No work today again. System down..
How do you make a living like that?

RAD Keystrokers, as of today, is there enough work every day?

Any other MDIers out of work today?

You'll have work today, but not tomorrow.

Offered job with Transtech today. If you work for TT....
what has your experience been like? I got all the answers I asked for regarding platform, hardware, work flow, schedules, benefits, incentive, DD and paydays. Everything sounds good. Insurance sounds more affordable than other places I have talked to and they also pay for 12 hours of training plus line rate. Please only respond if you currently work there more than 3 months or previously worked there for more than 1 year.
I've been out of work 2 times today
7 a.m for 1-1/2 hours, and now. I don't count the 1 or 2 reports that slip in. I've worked exactly 3-3/4 hours today in my 8 hour shift.
There is lots of work today. Plus next week is still
part of the payperiod. There is plenty of time to get your usual check.
Sad you have to come to this website to try to find out anything, they are already out of work today

First time since July, I ran out of work today BUT sm
Extext has been terrible for over a week. I think it may be Extext. I had to wait until midnight before all my lines from yesterday showed up. I have been booted out a number of times, have lost reports, had it put in offline mode and my internet was FINE.
It may be Extext!
NO WORK again today -- mgmt, are your checks LOW, too???? n/m
Who is making the money to keep your paychecks the same????
Is this really fair? You mgmt people should be doling out some of your paychecks to us MT's who have NO WORK and LOW PAYCHECKS.
Running out of work again today. How are you all coping? (sm)
I have tried flexing and checking in every 10-15 minutes to get lines and then having to often make them up in the evening eating into another persons shift.
I have now picked up a PT flexible job that I do pretty much of an evening and my days off. I just have to commit to lines, not hours. Great gig. I don't want to endanger this PT job because I have to flex all over the place to get lines with WMX.
How are you all managing the low work flow situation?
My accounts have barely any work today.
I've managed 2 small jobs so far today. My account had picked up for about 2 days and actually had a good backlog, but then it was bombarded by MTs instructed to go there, so completely wiped out and nothing left for the primaries. And I see instructions for other MTs to come here for part of their lines again today as well, which means the primaries on my account have to fight them for work again. If my husband hadn't just had his hours cut also, I'd consider just taking a week off and getting stuff done, since I'm mostly wasting time babysitting my computer that I could put to more productive use elsewhere.
That explains it, yesterday I had no work, this morning DS on today's date. NM

Thank you. I went to Walmart today, and guess what, they had one phone and it didn't work!. Go

Transcend and no work...sm
I left Transcend over 1 year ago, and from what I have read here, nothing has changed except the forced VR, that I saw coming and one of the reasons I left. The other was NO WORK, especially on the last week of the pay period. On the weekend day that I HAD to work, I sat there and babysat my PC with NO WORK!!!. It was so frustrating, and I was NOT one who got on and worked when I wanted. I worked my scheduled shift everyday, all day long, and it was a struggle to get a decent line count...sometimes it was impossible because the accounts were over staffed. I know there are slow times, but this was for the WHOLE year that I stuck it out there. They had the most horrible accounts, sound quality was spotty and scratchy, and the dictators were awful. The worst accounts were the ones you had to have a "faxed" copy of the patients in order to even start typing the report; had to search through tons of awful faxed sheets....ugh!! I'm sick to my stomach just remembering it all. Apparently nothing has changed, and only gotten worse, as evidenced by the constant help wanted ads and complaints posted here. Sure glad I got out when I did. Flame away with "things are different", but I don't see any evidence of it in the posts I've read.
How is Transcend to work for?
I worked for MQ for 6 years and it sucked. Management was terrible. Raises were unheard of and you worked your butt off. They appreciate no one!
So do you work for Transcend?
Are you making 10 cpl with Transcend? If you are is that what you started at and how long have you been with them?
RE: So do you work for Transcend?
Yes I do, and I have been with them one year as of July.
Transcend...anybody able to work?

Does anyone work for Transcend doing...sm
editing for voice recognition? I am thinking of making the transition as my hands are tired! But don't want to make a bad move and get paid nothing for hard work.
Currently work PT for Transcend
and so far doing okay. It was a challenge to learn Beyond TXT, but so was DQS, I have a problem learning new programs. The people are great and they have their own forum and web site to ask questions. No shift or weekend differentials. You have to E mail tech, but sometimes I just call them. They usually get right back to you. I heard a lot of negative posts about them on this site, I guess disgruntled ex-employees need to vent, but I have not found what they said to be true. It has been a positve experience for me. They leave me alone to do my work and I am picking up speed. 4 weeks now. I do get some hard dictators, but also some easy ones. I don't listen to a lot of the negative posts because in my experience, they are exaggerated. I have another job and that company gets a lot of negative posts also and the job has worked out fine for me. MT stars in general gets a lot of doom and gloom posts. The sky is definitely not falling.
I work for Transcend and it is no
company out there. The posts below are not true in my experience about as the person hiring was very nice to me and not rude at all. Please do understand, though, that every account they have they hope to get on VR and pay the MTs half per line what they are making doing MT, because it is expected your production will double on VR. So if you like doing VR and can do double what you transcribe, this would be a good company for that person. In the meantime, they still have plenty of regular work. Hope this helps.
I work for Transcend. Beyond TXT
to others I have been on. Also, all accounts will be going to VR in the near future, so if you like VR at half your line rate, go for it. Otherwise I would seriously think about this one.
All Transcend work going to ME
If you want to do MT, be prepared to being switched to ME in the very near future. This company wants all accounts on VR.
What is Transcend like to work for? How about MDI-FL? They both sm
talk a good game, but it sounds like a sales pitch and I want to get some honest opinions before leaving MQ.
I used to work for Transcend.
I also thought their platform was terrible and the training was a joke. That is why I left. They have the worst platform I have ever worked on. The training was the worst also. And the technical department, if you have a problem, you have to email them and wait and wait and wait for an answer, sometimes not until the next day. And they were crashing on a daily basis. Reports did not show up on my line count. I had to constantly email tech to see why a report did not show up. The worst company I have worked for.
I work for Transcend
They are a very good company to work for. I've been with them over a year now and have been treated very fairly and kindly. I highly recommend them. They're looking for MTs, so definitely consider them as your home. Hope this helps.
Transcend work
Where is it? I guess they have none. Anyone else having this?
Transcend work
My accounts are pretty busy this morning.
Transcend must have sent all their work
over to India this weekend too. Nothing available on my accounts. What else is new. This is getting to be routine.
Anybody work for Transcend
who is a team lead and would like to share some info on how they like it? Feel free to e-mail me.
I don't work at Transcend. nm

Low/no work at Transcend?
Anybody? Or maybe it's just me. I don't get it. I've barely had part-time amount of work and I check in at all hours of the day and night just to get that. There is zero work on the system right now. It's ridiculous. I've been begging them to add another account and they are doing it I guess but at a snail's pace. Bills are coming due, gas is getting higher and this looks like the end of the road for me. Even during MT week, everyone was suppose to get a package, I didn't and to add insult to injury there was a contest I had won that week ($25) and you guessed it, no sign of it.
So although they're extremely friendly ppl who don't give me a bit of grief, I can't afford to work there anymore. It's been since the end of May and hardly any work.
Oh well. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','%3Cimg%20src=http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sad.gif%3E');
I've already applied to a few places, so we'll see what we see.
It's back to the drawing board, Again.
Transcend work
I have had no problem with communicating with Transcend. Got out of training on the second day, and I am on a very difficult account. None of it is easy, but I feel I have lots of help and support when and if I need it.
If you work for Transcend and do VR
how many lines per week are you doing? Is it possible to make any money with their VR accounts?
Low to no work at Transcend
Anyone else from Transcend frustrated with low to no work for the 3rd day this week. Granted there was a hurricane that hit Texas and some healthcare facilties were hit ... but most are back up running now and back to usual... Is this a case of overhiring for Transcend escription or what?
I was already near the poor house and 1 day last week and now 3 days this week of basically now work is a surefire boot to the poor house.
Transcend work...
I do VR and ST for Transcend (going on about 4 months now) and absolutely LOVE this company and their accounts. Not much I can add to that!
Transcend work
Good for you. Hope it continues have worked there for about four years and it has gone from poor to worse.
If you work with Beyond Txt with Transcend what
is your opinion of the platform? Can you make a decent living? I've read the archieves back to 2005. I find lots that hate it, but a good number who like it.
For those of you who work at Transcend...
And you are on the Editscript platform...what version do they use? Version 6 or Version 8. With Version 8, can't you have Word 2007 and use an USB footpedal?
Transcend - anyone else out of work almost
consistently? Guess they must have decided to do 90% offshoring to India. I rarely have enough work to even work an entire shift and I work on 3 accounts. Feel sorry for anyone who believed that stuff about big bonuses for 3rd shift work. You will never get it.
