Are you one of those peope who love the sound of your voice?

In Reply to: I understand how you would - misinterpret my post.
You keep prolonging an argument. If you haven't even gotten off training, you're really not in any position to judge what they're like to work for. I've worked for 2 of the 3 Axis of Evil companies, and they were delightful during training. After that, not so much.
So get over yourself. The opinion of someone who has actually worked there (and that means gotten off the hourly training wage) is, unfortunately for you, the more valuable opinion.

ahh com'on, peope (women) don't stitck together
I did note something on MTStars Job seekers, Transcription Express had an ad (I did not see another one a few below this one) but in the newer ad, gave her email and said use this one as she had no replies, guess she figured they did out go through on the board. So later I clicked on the first ad. It offered 7 cents (THUS, I would guess nobody was biting) HOO RAY) That is how to get the rates up but nobody will. Look how they accept 3-4 cents a line on VR. Pitiful.
Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma
services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational. ALL software has its share of problems. It's the nature of the business. When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO? If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement? Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?
My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete. It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.
All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions. If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it. If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on. However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt. While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.
Good Luck!

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
voice
I almost took a job there but it was correcting voice recognition which I tried once and did not like.
MT is different in that each voice
So, an IC has the right to not take a voice file. These contracts that state certain lines per week are for employees not ICs. An IC has the right to pick and choose work just like any other profession.
Also, painters do not sign contracts ahead of time. You sign a receipt when the work is complete. Another thing is when you find a painter that agrees to a timeframe and sticks to it, let me know. They are contractors just like us where things come up and they cannot complete the work. It is all part of being a contractor and being self-employed.

What companies pay 6 cpl for voice recognition?
Voice Systems
What can anybody tell me about this company? Good, bad? TIA.
Voice systems
I would check this company out completely. I worked for this people just under a different company name about 4 years ago. The company filed bankrupcy and then reopened under Voice systems. Cindy and Lex have a reputation of being very unprofessional and they will bully an employee as well as a client. Just check them out thoroughly, they could have changed. I am trying to remember the name of the company, but I cannot off the top of my head. I will look into old tax records and see if I can find. They were based out of Albany GA at that time as well.
Voice Systems
I would not recommend Voice Systems. I had bad experience with them!!!

Voice transcription - sm
Thinking about testing for them. I checked the archives and can't find anything. This is all voice recognition work. I worked on editing voices files for the previous company I worked for. I like doing this work, but didn't like the fact that it was less money. I'm thinking I may be able to produce more to make up for the decrease in line rate. Any thoughts on this company?
Voice Systems of Ga.
Don't do it!!!!! Very unprofessional.
FYI: Voice Transcription
I keep seeing people post about this horrific company and I thought I would share my experience with them:
1. I still haven't received payment for work that I completed in November!! The owner (initials J.L.) keeps giving me different excuses of why she hasn't paid me. The one check I did receive from them was a month late.
2. After one of my many emails about the money owed to me and how much exactly is past due, she sent me an email saying the amount wasn't right and that we had agreed on a lower rate for one of the clients!! Absolutely NOT true!! So, after I completed this work, she apparently decided that I would be paid 0.045 and not the 0.06/line as promised (VR editing acct.).
3. I actually ended up quitting because J.L. went off on a rant saying that I had made an unacceptable mistake in one of the reports. Later, after I proved that I was right, she apologized and said that she had a temper because of a three day migraine.
Now, I only worked for this company for two months (thank goodness it wasn't longer). If you're okay with being treated like this and not getting paid for work that you complete and her changing your rate, then go for it, but I would highly advise against it!! For those of you below that stated you had not been contacted after testing, just thank your lucky stars that you aren't working for her and hopefully you'll take my advice and never work for her.
Voice Systems of GA
I don't think you would be happy with them. Not very professional.
Voice recognition.
As far as I know, they only have one account and it is overstaffed so it is really hard to make any money. Some of the people hired for that account have moved on.
Voice Recognition
Does anyone know which companies hire reviewers/editors for VR work? My hands/fingers are starting to really bother me and I need to shift gears. Thank you!
Voice Recognition
For anyone out there who does voice recoginition can you tell me what you average per hour for lines. Just curious to see if I am on the right page with it. Thanks
couldnt tell by the voice

Accounts going Voice
The accounts I am working on are going voice, I just read it in their news. My company did not tell me this. All the while I felt like I was being used because it seemed like I was getting clean-up work. There are hundreds or doctors and I rarely get the same one, so it's hard to get any speed up. I have been given additional accounts, and checked them out and they will soon be going voice too. Do I just hang in there or look for something with less doctors and more stability? I am so disappoionted. Have only been doing this for a few years, but wonder about the future. My questions to the company I work for go unanswered. Any input?
voice recognition
So far I have had the opposite effect (drop in production), BUT I have only been doing it for two months. Does someone have any hints???
Voice speed
I can't help with that as when I fix the voice through Express Scribe it stays that way.
Voice Solutions?
Does anyone out there use Voice Solutions by Central Voice, especially in conjunction with Meditech? Just curious what all you had to have on your comp. to set up.
voice recognition.
I have been talking with a woman from Diskriter about part time shift and she did say something about willingness to learn about voice recognition. Does that mean that all the Transcriptionist become editors or how exactly does that work out for those working for them? Will there be layoffs?
Speech/voice
You are so right! Some of the idiotic things typed by the speech systems make me cringe. Presbyacusis came out please be a Q-tip. I hope those people sitting in the board rooms drooling at the prospect of makeing more off the backs of transcriptionists get a wakeup call when they are hit with lawsuits because of system errors not caught by fatigued editors trying to walk on water for 3 to 4 cents a line. I prefer to take responsibility for my own documents, not those created by speech recognition.
The voice of reason.
Did that, just voice mail. nm

Voice Systems
There is an ad on mt.com for an orthopedic Transcriptionist by C. Adams of Voice Systems in FLORIDA. I did a search in MT Stars and there were some very bad things about Voice Systems in GEORGIA. This seems to be the same company. I am glad I searched here before I applied! I doubt if they have changed much.
Voice recognition
Take my advice and avoid voice recognition if you can. Half the pay for the same job!
Voice Systems, LLC
Hi anyone and everyone. Please give me any info on Voice Systems, LLC. Searched but did not get much. I can't afford to type and not get paid in this economy. To all the ladies and gents out there who type and know what I mean, please school me on this company, supposed to start this weekend. Thanks
Voice Systems, LLC
I can only find a post from over a year ago on them. Do any of you have any scoop on the company?  
There you have it, a voice of experience.
How many more times do you need to hear it? I remember one Christmas one of the experienced general pediatric clinic MTs had to work on acute care, as there were no clinic notes to be done. She spent 1/2 hour searching to verify a tray keostomy:, before coming to ask. Hmmmmm. She hadn't heard much about tracheostomies in the ped clinic. Not her fault, just something she hadn't experienced before.
YOU need to get over YOURSELF . . . give those with the experience and knowledge their due. Some MTs don't want to learn acute care and that's fine. I don't want to do clinic notes, I get bored easily and like longer reports. Everyone has their preferences. It may be easy for some to do acute care after doing clinic notes, but not for most.
Regarding Voice Recognition.
Hi:
I noticed your comment about Transcend and the Voice Recognition program. Well I worked there about 4 or 5 months and never could get the hang of it. I do not mean to be discouraging, but I really did not like their program. If your line count does not improve, I would look somewhere else. I know they have wonderful company and some of the greatest people ever, but they are not paying your bills either. Look out for yourself in the long-run. Hope this helps.
VR = Voice Recognition
Not the OP, but I am going to assume that VR stands for voice recognition, not a state abbreviation.
Voice Systems?
 I know that some issues a few years back. Does anyone know any current info on this company, I think out of Georgia? Thanks for feedback.
MDI voice recognition
Just curious how the transition over to speech was going for other MDI employees.
Do NOT work for Voice Systems!
Do a search of these boards. Nothing good ever said about them. Bad company to work for. The owners berate you, paychecks bounce, can't keep anybody. Bad people to work for. I would highly recommend you look somewhere else.
Is this the Voice Systems in Georgia? nm

Yes, yes, and yes. The only negative, IMO, is the voice quality sm
which could be a lot better on the accounts that I do. Other than that, FC is a great company; staff is wonderful.
Looking for Voice Recog. Redictate job?sm
I was told some companies have MTs who listen and then re-dictate, is that true? Who are they? Is it Transcend? Thanks for info. PTCruiser
The name is Voice Transcription out of Washington.

Which Sten-Tel is this? Do they use voice recognition? Thanks. nm

I could be voice recognition with paying
an Editor 2 or 3 cpl.
no more voice file test
just a written from what I understand, lots of complaints about the quality of their test files so they 'shelved' it. I'm happy there, takes 2 weeks to get started, I don't think they make you take a physical any more, but still the background check which is almost standard now due to identify theft - - but the supervisor is good, flexibility when you need it. I'm happy, they work for me.
I didn't think their voice files were of
good quality, lots of difficult dictators, and they are now offshoring. MTSO said that files were surprisingly good. I had to QA the entire report and basically retype most of it because reports were not surprisingly good. MTSO was nice and up front about offshoring though.
Voice Recognition - I hate it
My company is making the move to VR for as many accounts as they can and, wouldn't you know it, the account I love and am doing really well on and making good money on is going to VR. My line rate is slashed in half and I have spoken to other people who have gone to VR a few months ago and they say they are not making anywhere near what they were making typing. This really annoys me as I NEED the money! I may have to look for another job. Anybody know of any good companies that you can actually just still TRANSCRIBE for like the good old days? I hate this VR!
Yes, typed 3 voice files
The recruiter gave me three voice files and I had two hours to return them. Not bad, one was kind of hard. You only have to fill in the blanks, not transcribe the entire report. Just like doing an edit. From the time I applied on-line, got a call from the recruiter and tested and then offered a position was less than two days. They sent me an equipment package and paperwork, I trained and now I am working my way through the three week full QA process. Nice people so far, I am very happy with Medware.
