My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

Could you be a little more specific? Your post
completely... too many metaphors. Not a lot has happened at my end, but who's to say other people have heard other things. What finally prompted you to jump ship, other than the obvious India-based thing?
I don't know about these specific companies
Ablescribe in the mid-TN region and they are hiring. Pretty simple work, a nursing home same 4 or 5 docs and a lot of the same patients daily too. My sis works there and loves it.
I am from TN too!
ablescribe.com, I believe.
Ask about specific companies. (NM)

Any companies out there who assign a specific group of
dictators instead of accounts with hundreds of dictators? TIA. 
?? company board, can talk about specific companies by name (nm)

Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm

there are various reasons as to why companies post over and over again - sm
For instance, I was working with one company that had tons of applicants. However, they were calling back people they fired in the past and offering them jobs. Other companies I have worked with just like to have applicants on file and if one in particular jumps out at them, they will call and test that applicant even though they may not have a "new" account per se.
And of course, there is the old standby reason - no one qualified for the position, so they are reposting it.
These are the companies I got from a post a week or so ago...SM
MDI Florida, Medical INK, AccuStat Carolinas, Proveras, Sten-Tel, Focus, Chase.
not all companies post jobs here -
why bother being so rude.
That post bashed 7 companies, and
went on to say the good companies never get mentioned. Well whose fault is that? I'm working for one of the 7 due to word of mouth. If you had posted about a better company, maybe I'd have applied there. But do you actually know what these better companies are? Instead of bashing companies, you should be praising the good ones. Now that would be helpful!
Otherwise it sounds like you're just telling fairy tales.
Wonder why these companies post jobs
with low line rates but requiring years of experience. Who out there is desperate enough to fall for this? Maybe they should try an overseas job board somewhere.
See post above--message to all companies (nm)
Post your resume on the job boards. Most companies
want 2 years of recent experience, but with your extensive experience I'm sure some companies would be willing to offer you a chance, but could depend on the disability. If the disability was due to mental health issues you might have problems more than if you had a physical disability.
companies that do not post line rate...
In some of these postings (I'm talking mostly about the big nationals here), the recruiters spend LOTS of time talking about what they have to offer but are noticeably silent about line rate. If a company has so much to offer, it should be proud of the line rate it is offering. It always seems like they are trying to rope me in in some way & then will spring the bad news on me once they have a captive audience, like a bunch of used car salesmen.
If I don't see a line rate next to pay/compensation I just substitute embarrassingly low & move on to the next listing.
I've had the thought that the listings should be divided into Big National and MTSO --- and within that, willing to show line rate and not willing to show line rate.
Anyone else?
That may be but if companies can't post ads without company names,
nm
Others will post that work for these companies, there are some great
people that post on this board, you just have to overlook a few. Unfortunately I do not work at any of these companies, otherwise I would be glad to give you any information needed. Good luck though!
Maybe because not ALL companies post there. He/She just asked a simple question!

I think the point was to POST names of good companies for all MTs to see,

What happened to my post with an inquiry for companies that have clinic work available in the
mornings (not in the afternoons or evenings)? I did not think there was anything inappropriate in my message and thought it was on the correct board. Thanks.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. sm
Mostly, just the usual -- are you happy there? Would you recommend it to your friends? Pay on time? Work flow consistent?
Thanks!
More specific please- MS in NJ or FL? nm
.
Can you be more specific on what you'd like to know? sm
Good benefits (PTO, pd holidays, life, medical, dental insurance); good amount of work available (except this week has been slow on some accounts); they provide equipment (you do pay deposit, returned at time of leaving); direct deposit, always on time pay; easy to use platform (but you need high speed Internet); good training and I LOVE my manager (responsive to emails and phone calls, doesn't micromanage me).
Weak spot would be tech support (depends who you get).
Can you be more specific? nm
Were they at all specific about SM
what they meant when they said typing skills? That is so vague.
You need to be more specific, such as ....
Employee status or IC?
Benefits?
Work type?
Set schedule?
Okay, but that's not very specific (sm)
I guess I should have asked for all opinions happy and otherwise. If you work for Webmedx, would you mind telling what has been the problem?
Can you be more specific?
Turns out they are not hiring for a month or two anyway!
Sorry, I should have been more specific.sm
MDI MTs will be getting a call in October/November and will find out then what the offer is.
TT..please be more specific about platform..sm
You say you like the co...please tell me what kind of platform you work on and are you able to increase your line count using the platform easily? Good incentives?
Yes, they do. Maybe your specific experience
does not match up with the positions they have available right now?
Can you be more specific? This doesn't help at all. nm
nm
could you be more specific on what you love so much about it?
nm
Could the replies be more specific
I am considering them also and would like more substantial information than vague statements. That is no help at all. Please if anybody has any experience with them or works for them, please I would also like to know how they are.
This is when you turn over specific
examples to your supervisor and get some answers. I would keep a record of every inconsistency and send them in.
Cannot name specific accounts.

specific answers ..
hi ..
1. Does the ShortHand Expander work on DocQScribe?
not sure .. pretty sure it does.
2. How easy is the platform to learn?
very ... just use keyboard commands instead of mouse
3. How easy is the platform to navigate around when you are in a report -- and are there a lot of steps to saving, sending, etc?
I find it easy and there are not a lot of steps ..
4. Can you look up prior patient reports?
no
5. Can you make your own templates?
You have to put them in the expander and it depends on company policy; they do not want cut and paste as it can affect formatting on client end
6. How is the spellchecker?
okay
7. Can a fast typist make good line counts?
yes .. friend does over 300
8. Is the line count mechanism accurate?
mine has been when I checked it
From my experience, it is a great system.
I too lost production but I started using it but that has been true for me with any windows-based program I have worked on ..
give me back my DOS and WP .. .that is when I used to make good money .. LOL
good luck to you .. you will be fine
PS - However, The speech recognition of MQ (ASR) is terrible unless you have really great dictators.
you dont need your specific
numbers to do your FAFSA. There's a question on the renewal that asks if you've filed your taxes yet, you just say no.
I've not gotten my W2 from TT, and I don't see ANY excuse for that.
specific company name?
nm
Then, obviously, be more specific in your posts
When you post something as vague as your post, you should realize you're leaving far too much open to question. And if you'll read my post, you'll see I tried to clarify in which direction you were attempting to with your ambiguity.
Before you get your feathers ruffled, re-read what you're posting to make sure it conveys the message you are trying to get across.
Glad you weren't sniping at her, though.
Which mediscript?? What are your specific questions? nm
x
Can you please be more specific regarding "play favorites?"
Can you please be more specific regarding "play favorites?" I used to work there and never had a problem with QA in general; maybe it depends on the account you are assigned to. Although, I do doubt the competency of management there and agree with the other post that you pratically have to "work like a horse" to make any money.
Translutions..good/bad? please be specific..nm
s
Does DRC assign specific worktypes or do you sm
get a regular account like with the big nationals? TIA
It probably would depend on the specific software.
In my case, I have no problem. My IC position is done strictly in Word with downloading and uploading files to FTP, so it really does not require any particular software.
I would not cite the specific reason
just say not working out as you had hoped. Good luck
answers to your specific questions
12 hour window - no, you give them your schedule of hours you want to work and if it works for them, they approve the schedule and you stick to it. However, they are flexible if things come up and you need to start an hour late or early - just let them know ahead of time. Also flexible for appointments or if you need to trade a day for the most part.
Expander Program is ShortHand for PC.
You would have to ask their IT guys about transfering your entries into their computer. I just sat my two PCs next to each other and created the entries on the SH on the work PC, only took an hour or so to do and well worth it.
Ad seems very specific about acute care.
nm
Yeah I think you'll need to be more specific...
.
It's specific to the software Emdat sm
I understand you could possibly get your Infinity pedal to work with Emdat's software but it takes quite a bit of time and finagling and then still might not work.
To be specific, how they deduct for headers
They deducted a flat 17% from the line count. You all know that all headers are not created equal and some have hardly anything in them and very few of them are 17% of the total lines typed. I remember when this head honcho went in one day and revised all the headers to make them with even fewer characters but that 17% did not change. I could not accept the politics of this company any longer and immediately started pounding the pavement for my own accounts because I didn't need the benefits anyway. This company was not Transtech by the way. I don't know what percentage Transtech deducts because I have never worked there.
