Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
I'm fairly new to KS, but I know they are adding
2 new accounts by February, so there should be lots of work. The account I am on is fairly new and still working out all the kinks, but right now there is a lot of work available on it too, so you might want to talk to your lead or Lee and ask for more work.
Adding a question to yours...
do they pay hourly or by the line for QA?
Sorry. I was just adding to the insults.
I was also offering my own experience with my particular company. He was pointing out the expenses of the MTSOs and I was pointing out the growing expenses of the MT. In other words, I was sharing my viewpoint as well.
How do you know list is true? I can make a list,

...all this "stuff" should be in there. I keep adding to it as changes are made, etc. nm

If you try adding more than one time the ESP screen
will be behind your other screens. If you minimize them you will see it.
are you adding your names/addresses into
your abbreviation file so you don't have to look up the same name/address twice? That is what I do. With an MD with multiple locations, I will name it something like SmithDown for Dr. Smith, Downtown or JonesLake for Dr. Jones at Lake Forest. You would still have to cut and paste some in the cc field or you might ask operations if there is a way to build a spreadsheet document and add to it as you come across new names/addresses.
Adding, you do have to work the shift SM
you commit to. If you are wanting flexibility as far as being able to leave in the middle of a shift and make up the time later, you would have to negotiate a split shift with them in the beginning and see if they would go for that. As far as my experience goes, I did 8 hours with a lunch break and turned in 40 hours per week. I'm sure if there was an emergency I could have flexed my time for 1 day but if you need flex time every day for picking up kids, etc. you should mention that in the interview and see if they can accommodate. Once you commit to a schedule it is difficult to get it changed.
what do you mean "toggle over." and what is your formula for adding it up? Help!

Adding insult to injury
My coffee cup came apart in the dishwater today.
Yes, still hiring. They are adding two more hospitals before the end of the year and are looking
for like another 30 or 40 MTs.
...and perhaps adding a statement to contract before signing
outlining course of action (fines, etc.)in the event. If they have a problem with that - well...
Why is it we do not have our own contracts to present to companies? Two areas of concern - guarenteed work and failure to pay.
Excel logs and adding up job lengths (sm)
This is for the MTs who have to keep an Excel log for jobs and need to add up the minutes transcribed at the end of the day.
I've done some footwork today and discovered a Microsoft page which tells you how to enter times into cells: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266691
I haven't figured how to automate it, but basically Excel recognizes minutes and hours if entered in the following format: hh:mm:ss. So if you have a 5 minute 12 second job, you would enter 00:05:12 in that cell. Then at the end of the day you enter the formula =Sum and the cell range (the link gives specific example) and it adds up your minutes and seconds automatically for you.
I thought I'd share. I've been adding my account by hand because I didn't know how to sum with minutes and seconds till now.
Line padding. adding extra words.

We will be adding that feature back, we are just in transition of migrating over to our newer
version of the forum software. We appreciate your patience. 
I wonder what the quality of the work is like adding all those people to accounts. I agree. They
will lose accounts this way and MTs will move on. No one is going to sit around and make no money and then have QA breathing down your neck when you are thrown into all these accounts. So no one listens in New York. What is the problem with them.
What I read was that they opened a center in India BUT were adding work for them and keeping their
domestic work force as well.
C.C. You are Awesome
C.C. Thanks for always watching out for us!
AWESOME
TransTech is a GREAT place to work!
and they are AWESOME
to work for and with.
AWESOME!
U go girl (or guy)! Keep us informed about your new job and congrats!
Then that is awesome!
Best of luck!
Awesome!
Been here 7 years, back before it was bought out. There is endless work and that's NO joke. Small management staff, pay on time. Only drawback for some is using the C-phone. No hassles, nobody looking over your shoulder. You just work and get paid.
TRS is awesome!
I have worked for TRS for just over 2 years and couldn't be happier. TRS truly cares about its employees and it shows. I can't imagine working anywhere else.
YOU ARE AWESOME
Very well stated! I am VERY interested in the 3000 lines/6-8 hours. WOW! Can you emaiil me and share you knowledge on how you acheived this goal. Do you do this consistently, daily? I think I am pretty up there usually coming in around 2000, but I am very interested in how skilled, quality MTs come in at 3000 a day consistently??? Please share you knowledge with me so I can try it. Thank you for the great post! I am so frustrated reading this line count stuff. I love Transtech and my sense, as good as it can be in this remote working situation, is that they are honest people and wound not intentionally mesh with line counts.
Awesome!
That is an awesome rate. Usually it is 4 cpl. What company is this with?
That is awesome!
A friend told me when he went to RT school (a long time ago) he was taught by physicians. I heard nursing school used to be full of practical experience too.
Awesome!
I ended up typing the report over again, but believe me - I will NEVER forget your instructions on accessing a lost report, and I will get some cardboard ASAP!!! Thanks very much...
AWESOME
4-1/2 years and don't intend to leave. Great, great, great company.
Awesome!
I start tomorrow. I'm glad to hear that our supervisor is good.
You are AWESOME
You get the picture!
Awesome!
I worked for them for a couple of months. The work was very easy, but the paychecks were a little slow!
awesome post above. thank you for saying that!

I work for MDI-MD and I have had awesome help from QA.
Never anything negative, only helpful.
They do and the lines are awesome
nm
Wow! Awesome hop! Congrats! nm
If they are supposedly AWESOME
why do they have so much turnover and why are there so many posters who worked there and left? Don't you have to wonder about a company that is so great but still has to advertise?
This is awesome and is what this board
should be about!! Thank you.
awesome company
AccuStat Carolinas is a great company. Myself and many co-workers all keep in touch across the country as we all work for AccuStat and we all love them. The people are great to work for, pay is on time and the work is plentiful. The managers really help and get you going so their support is the best I have found in this market really!
Thumbs up for this company for sure!
They are growing like MAD! This is an awesome
company. Definitely not overhiring. I have been here almost two months now and I have never been happier with my job. The accounts are good, the people are amazing, from management to tech support and even the general office staff. They treat me incredibly well and many, many others on here say the same.
Awesome! I got the job and start really soon.
My husband is happy, but cautious, after all that has gone on recently. But, I sure believe this is an answer to a prayer.....and an angel must be looking out over us here. Thanks again for the kind words. It is a good day today! :)
lee perfect is just awesome nm

Awesome company...
I've been with them since the end of March and they don't expect you to start out at 700 lines a day. I started at a very low number (don't remember off hand)and have increased it by 50 per week. I will be up to 700 lines per day by the end of the May. Platform is great and the team is of people are awesome to work for, too. I plan to go full-time just as soon as I quit my other very flex part-time company and the two places are like day and night! MDI appreciates their people! Do yourself a favor, if you are even remotely interested, check them out and talk to their recruiter.
Wow that sounds awesome! nm

AWESOME. Did you hear
that AHDI/MTIA is now wanting MTs and editors who are entering the workforce and those currently employed will need to approach professional credentials the same way all other allied health workers do – as a necessary investment to engage in professional practice in this industry. Basically elevating the medical transcription certificate program to an associate degree by 2016?
Awesome post to you!
Ditto all around.
Penny is awesome!
I know everyone has their own opinions and experiences with people, but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Penny Whalen. She is a great recruiter and a great person!!!
Awesome, prayers go with you
Wow that is so cool. My prayers will be going with you that the audience will have open hearts and ears to hear this dilemma and do something about it.. You are a credit to us all for standing up for our profession... Thanks for what you are doing..
awesome, are they flexible?
I have no problem sticking to my schedule, but since I won't have any vacation for awhile are they flexible? Say I want to take off a Wednesday, can I make it up on Friday or Saturday, or am I just out of luck?
My DH is off during the summer, so we try to take a weekday to go do something with the kids once in awhile and avoid the crowds!
Awesome post, and I do the same.
Also, as far as TAT, that's why they shouldn't rely on just one IC to pick-up all of the work. If the MTSO wants to only use one or two people to do the work so that the TAT is met, then hire employees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I feel way better and am so glad someone else agrees regarding the IC positions.
The MTSOs are free to abuse other MTs in this industry, but not me!!!!!!!!
