Speaking of CBay, do they still have Elite Global aka Echo affiliated with them? Just wondering..nm

I don't know anything about Elite Trans, but they arenot the same as Elite Global. nm

Was this formerly Elite Global Transcription?nm

Is Elite Global still in business? I haven't heard anything...sm
about them in quite a while.
Worked for Superior Global...sm
The very best advice I can give you about this company is to take any other job you can find. They're dishonest, have multiple overflow accounts that run out of work all the time, and they routinely go through restructuring which means the job you have finally learned and actually are starting to like and make a living with is taken away from you and you're demoted, all the while trying to make it seem as if you've been promoted. The guy in charge is...well, there are no nice words to describe him. A few people there are okay and one is very nice and sweet, but that's not the norm and the other MTs who I used to work with there have all had the same experiences. Just read this board.
Global Transcription IS a nice small service, has a good rep. Superior Global has Indian conn-

Elite Transcription
Any information on Elite Transcription out of Kansas? I found some things on Elite Global in the archives, but not sure if this is the same outfit. Thanks.
Anyone know anything about Elite Transcription? sm
Mostly concerned about the quality of sound, pay scale decent, if the pay is on time, method of line counting fair, etc.
Thanks!
Elite Logitech E
Best keyboard I've ever used and only about $25. Nearly silent and has just the right yield to touch (for my comfort).
Global Transcription Services is not Superior Global.

The wealthy elite are running this country.
And they would prefer that your money be in THEIR pocket. They will share as much as they have to and no more.
Yep, elite and STAR=CRAP ACCOUNT-nm

Does anyone know of Elite Office Solutions that pay hourly? TIA

Not being in the 'inner elite circle' I used to be offended
because they were always posting about so-and-so making a kazillion lines and how happy and wonderful for them, and on and on - yeah right, while I would be sitting there struggling with the really bad dictators, losing hundreds of dollars a month doing VR - not even able to make my minimum.
People should not be forced to be social on the job. If you had a private site somewhere for those who do then you would not be offending anyone. Then you could all go warm and fuzzy over each other.
This business is cut-throat in reality, and it seems to me there are always a certain group of MTs who get all the good meaty work, but you always have the people to clean up the garbage.
Not nice to have it thrown in your face.
I echo about DSG
I believe Webmedx and Spheris pay hourly, but also almost always hire for QA from within. I don't know about TransHealth or Transolutions.
Echo Sten-Tel
I think this company may be in North Dakota. Has anyone worked for them? I am thinking of applying with them but would like a little information from present or former employees. Thanks!
I work for Echo, and I really like it. SM
We use DocQscribe. I use ShortHand with it, but there is a built-in Expander you could use if you don't have ShortHand.
Management and QA are very nice, pay is fair, work is good. Some ESL, but not many.
Employee position. Only bummer is that there are very limited benefits. I've worked for MQ, Spheris, and TransHealth. I prefer Echo hands down over any of the above companies. I don't know if they're hiring or not, but I'll link their website below.
Good luck!

Does Echo have a website? Thanks. nm

It has never happened to me at Echo sm
I'm not sure how many different accounts they have, but I have never been switched around. I've learned new work types since working there (like OPs), but it is all part of the same account.
I've been very happy there. I have experience with MedQuist, Spheris, and TransHealth. I thought MQ was okay...I hated the other two. Everyone's experiences are different (some love the last two companies I mentioned), but I have been an Echo employee for almost 1 year, and I have to say that I really, really love it here.
If benefits are your top priority, you might not be too happy here. They do offer benefits, but they are pretty expensive. But they offer PTO (given at 1-year anniversary), sick time, and have a very generous incentive program. They also have much less ESL doctors than I had with those other 3 companies.
I hope you find what you're looking for. If you want to know more about Echo, you can e-mail me at any time.
Take care,
Chickadee
I really like Echo Transcription, Inc. SM
Good pay, really nice incentive plan, PTO, sick pay, great management, great QA feedback, small percentage of ESL docs, employee status. Only bad thing, though, is that health and dental insurance are expensive.
Good luck in your search!

ECHO EMPLOYEES? SM
Are they hiring? Do they use DQS? Wondering if you can tell me if they have any clinic work or will hire someone with hospital but no OPs experience? Cost and type of med. ins. for individual coverage? Thanks for any info!

Has anyone heard of Echo Transcription Inc.? sm
Care to share your opinion and experience with them? I tested with them today. They seemed nice and friendly. The platform was pretty user friendly.
Is there plenty of work? Is the pay fair? Do they have benefits? Thanks...if I'm offered a position, I'll find out all these answers, but I'm just really curious.
Just Me 
Echo Transciption Inc. in Georgia SM
I really like it there a lot. We have tons of work, excellent feedback from QA, great boss to work for, good pay. I spot check their counts against my count on MSWord (characters with spaces divided by 25) from time to time, and it is always exactly the same or 1 line more on DocQScribe.
Their website is http://www.echoti.com.
Good luck!

Echo Transcription in Georgia does. NM

Anyone had any experience with this company? Would like some feedback, as recently applied for a part-time employee status job there
Is Echo Transcription still associated with CBay? nm

Thanks for all of your responses. You echo my intuition.
Thanks so much for your responses. I agree with you. I do have a roving eye, just in case, but that would be for any job in this economy. But, I love TT, and considering the fact that I am willing to put the work in to get up to speed, I really don't want to leave, at least not yet. Frying pan to fire, etc. TT has a lot of things besides what I mentioned that I can't put into words. I guess it is just a right fit and where I want to be... so unless things change really badly.. I want my job and I want to keep it! Thanks again everyone for your help.
I echo your experience! Said the very same thing to me, but I quit them first.
Good riddance! On to better things! :-)
I echo BTDT and left a few months ago. Don't bother. NM

I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
global
I worked for them for a little while several years back. They might have disorganization issues, but they are a local Texas company and to my knowledge do not outsource. The people who own it are super nice, honest people.
Global
This is not the Global that you are talking about - this is a very small company in my area. They hire locally. I appreciated getting the experience, I dislike this man coming to me when he needs help on an in-house position, when he has work that could be done at home.
Global
I always ran out of work and pay was low .... and now everything is VR or going to be VR but nice people.
Which Global? sm
Global InfoSystems or the other Global? If it is Global InfoSystems, they hardly have work, they are liars, and they will lie in your face every chance they get. So you may want to consider that if that is the one you are referring to.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
Superior Global
You know - I left there 2 weeks ago. I know from a past experience - this company holds checks. You are one of the lucky ones who if you get your check on-time if they do not bounce. Does anyone know if contractors have any rights? Are they allowed to hold money even if the equipment has been returned?
Superior Global
I have been very happy with this company. The checks arrive on time and they leave me alone and let me do what I do best.
Superior Global
Just wondering if anyone knows anything good or bad about Superior Global - thanks
Superior Global
This company is a waste. First of all - they bounce checks to most of their employees. They say they do not outsource - but they do. The owners run and hide at payroll time -- constantly have their phones shut off, and the insurance is constantly canceled as they do not pay the premiums. Not to mention, they still owe the overseas group greater than 20,000.
AccuTran Global
Does anyone know anything about this company???
Superior Global
I just heard the same story today. They don't pay!
I have never been in a situation where I broke my back typing for 15 days and had to beg for my money. I couldn't think of anything worse, except of course illness.
Superior Global
I completely agree, worked for them. Pay was not on time, typical excuses. I left there in a hurry. There are other jobs where they do pay on time believe me please.
Superior Global
Somebody asked about Superior Global a few weeks ago............the same things were said about not paying on time. This is not just a rumor. This is true...........Please listen or you will be out on the street waiting to get paid by this company............Unless they have changed.
Superior Global
I know that the small company that I was previously employed with lost all of their HCA accounts to Superior Global and most everyone that had worked with me went to work for them. I chose not to, as I was tired of radiology work. From what I hear, these people are happy. They are working on accounts that they have worked on in the past and have plenty of work. I don't know for a fact that they outsource, I just know that my friends are not hurting for work and like the change to Superior from the company we had worked for previously. They also had no compete contracts, but have not been legally pursued by the other company - probably because they lost all their accounts and can't afford to sue anyone now.
Global Transcription
So I'm confused - was the guy from Global or do you like Global?
re: superior global
I received an email from this company in response to an email that I'd sent a long time ago. I did some research on a few different sites and found lots of negatives in regards to pay.
I emailed them back and stated that I was not seeking a position. I later thought about it and decided that I wanted to get the info directly from the source. I emailed the individual and stated that I had read that there were problems with MTs being paid in a timely matter and asked if this was true. I never received a response.
I don't want to work for any company who cannot pay me on time.
Superior Global
I heard they don't pay either!
There is nothing AAMT can do - we are in a global
economy, and the cents per line margin is just so tiny - it really always has been. I remember in the - old days - max anyone was making realistically was 14 to 15 cpl. Its not like it used to be 50 cents a line even. There just is no margin for all this bartering. The entrepreneurs and MTSOs dreamed up the offshoring, and that was that! There is just no sense blaming AAMT - its so much bigger than AAMT. I know how you feel - wasted about the last 5 years being bitter about it. Again, don't join AAMT or whatever their name is, but many of us want to be members. I want to be at the top of my game in this career so that I will not be offshored. There will always be room for the top brains in this industry - whether American, or Indian, or Irish. I have seen offshored transcription, and it is not the joke that most of you would like to think. That's what actually changed my opinion of -- the foreigners -- most of their work is absolutely meticulous and beautiful. I swear, being in QA I can actually get vibes from a report regarding the attitude of the MT. You can just see whether they are top-notch and professional, or sloppy and bitter. There IS a shortage of new talent in my company from the USA - its shocking! I give the offshorers whose work I QA kudos. And believe me, there was no one as angry and disgusted about it than I was. But I tried to be global minded, and it has paid off for me regarding my attitude and my sanity. Its NOT going to go away, and yes, I do embrace it. At this point, I don't care what ethnicity transcribes it, as long as its good quality. And, to date, I have had lots of Indian work in particular pass thru my hands, and I have not experienced the horror that others claim to see. Rather, the horror stuff is churned out by the US MTs, in my particular situation.
pay at Superior Global
Any idea what Superior Global pays for experienced hospital transcriptionists?? 
Superior Global
Pay is low and sometimes late. Not very well organized and many accounts are on Meditech that doesn't allow you to work in Word, then cut and paste into Meditech.
