How was the platform? Enterprise sucks
big time. E-mail said TransHealth had a good platform and they would take the best of both.
No it doesn't, sucks big time. nm
OSi pays on time every time exactly what was quoted on job offer.
Someone is getting really confused here. OSi does pay on time. Pay has always been in accordance to my time sheet that I fill out. If OSi pays only if their accounts pay them, then I must be on one good account that always pays. This is not in any fine print of any papers I have received.
OSi ALWAYS pays on time!
In all the time I have worked there they have never been delinquent.
Please, TT always pays on time...
it will be there; try some patience and don't count your chicks before they are hatched. Hopefully, you didn't spend money that wasn't there, which never fails to amaze me. Why do people do that?
Diskriter pays on time
Diskriter has been in business for a long time. It is an established professional organization.
In this day and time it is really hard to find a job that pays
anything decent and not work weekends. Maybe a smaller company, but the larger ones are almost all on Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs.
proveros NEVER pays on time or correct
dont do it unless you want to work and not get paid or very very late--either as a subcontractor or IC.
Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?
Curious
What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average
No PTO, just TO. Sucks. Holidays off, no pay. Sucks. Otherwise, okay.

Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
Platform and time off
How is the platform at Phoenix. Is it easy to learn. What about time off since its M-F schedule. Is there any flexibility for part timers for a day off during the week if needed.
pay is on time, Emdat platform used to be sm
buggier than all get out according to friend who used it but don't know if it's fixed - her pay got cut about 30% when she went to Emdat because it's set up to benefit the MTSO (normals, headers, etc.). She ended up dropping it after it crashed her computer. Also use Transnet/Dictaphone platform - they take $10 out of your invoice for rental but you are responsible for fixing the footpedal, etc., if it breaks (which doesn't quite fit the rental concept nor the IC concept). They change their policies about every other month so you just have to go with the flow and whatever the QA person du jour says (lots of changes there too). If you get a great dictator you'll have it made - just do your work and ignore the occasional e-mails complaining about late TAT, AAMT standards, etc. which only seems to apply to a few MTs but gets broadcast to everyone (really ticks off some of the MTs who get their stuff done on time, etc.). Judging by what gets posted here, it's a better MTSO than most - just be sure you are happy with your account and platform.
Any information on Rapidtext, Inc? Do they pay on time, platform, etc.?
Their platform is VERY time consume - no money
m
Pay always on time, platform is easy, they've always been nice to me, do have several accounts to
avoid running out of work. I do MT and QA.
I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm
the people are great. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.
I didn't care for Ascend's platform...very time consuming
and no paid training
It's kinda like the Irish.
There are people who feel compelled to set off a bomb just to keep the war going. That's you.
Are you entertained by all of this, and can't bear to not continue the conflict? And here I am, adding to it. Well, actually my issue is with YOU, not the company.
Kinda of late to run away when most of
us were KICKED OUT.
I kinda hope you don't.
I've landed in a similar place and I don't want somebody mucking it up. I, like NorCal, has an exclusive account. It's a wonderful feeling seeing there are 12 jobs there, and knowing I can go pour a cup of coffee, take a shower, check the mail, or even paint my nails and know that those 12 jobs, in no danger of going out of TAT, will be there for me. There are days where the account is light, but they are balanced by the ones that are bountiful. I have no desire to poach on anybody else's account and accept the light days as part of the rhythm of the job. When they add new accounts, I can ask for a piece of that, but until then I respect other people's work, and I sure as heck would hate to see this place turn into your type of snatch-and-grab tactics, because it's great being able to go to the bathroom without worrying about a vulture picking the work carcass clean.
Now that sucks and it says
right on the orchestral page (haha) that NO ONE got a pay cut with this plan. So I guess you got it by divine intervention? Huh?? You have my sympathy.
Man, that sucks! sm
I wish MTs had a forum where we could post all these companies so they don't get lost in the many threads here. I was burned too by an MTSO out of Ohio. 
One that really sucks...
Also, I always seem to get stuck on the clinic notes and those range from 6 lines per report to 25 lines. So that takes forever.
I just arranged to have daycare for my kids for 4 hours a day and now I cant even pay for that.
I have been in this for 10 years and it has changed so much since then. I am making less now than I was 10 years ago and I have all of this experience. I have to make this work for 2 more years until my son starts school and then I will be okay.
I guess I am just diappointed that they do not pay for quality and experience first and production second.
That sucks
because I'm having to work like 12 hours a day most days just to make enough to pay one or two bills. I really like working for them and everything though. I'm looking into Medical Coding schools now so maybe I can do one or the other, or both, and maybe make more money that way.
Oh - I see. Well, that sucks!! nm
xxx
it sucks
Yes, a whole penny or 2 might break these companies. They keep us at a low rate thinking that will encourage us to get on there more for OT and type more. I am afraid it it beginning to work the other way for me. I am furioius that I asked for a raise and they never even had the decency to get back with me to deny me any increase, after asking them twice. I guess its too embarrassing for them to say why they are so cheap and can't fork over a penny extra per line. If this economy was not so bad and there were actually jobs available I would be there now. I am sick of having to type every single moment of the hours to get paid. When all these other office workers and other kinds of workers get paid for just standing or sitting there is there is nothing for them to do. Nobody says lets count how many new accounts you have opened or how many groceries you put through your line and you get paid by each piece. I really miss the old days of working for a doctors office or clinic and getting paid by the hour and then getting OT if working OT. I remember times when the older women that I worked with were not as fast as me and they still got paid a decent hourly rate even if they weren't typing as fast. 8 cents a line is just spit. My company loses people everyday and they don't care. I would like to tell them its because of the pay. They would rather train a new person instead of keep someone that has been there for a year or two. I don't know what their thinking is. They just think, oh well, we'll jst get someone else.
AT&T Sucks lately
I have skeptiwebber, but later in the day it suddenly cleared up. I was on the phone with AT&T yesterday for about an hour, maybe with so many of us calling them they decided to do some checking and found the problem. We never had this problem with Bellsouth.
OMG that sucks
And why couldn't they have told us this MONTHS ago when they knew the account was changing to VR? A little warning would have been nice, to give people time to get their resumes polished up, etc. The timing is horrible too with all the MDI'ers looking for work, the job market's got to be really tough right now.
Good luck to all my former team-mates - maybe we'll meet again in a better place some day.
That sucks
So you are now working for 5.5 cpl for straight typing?
I kinda had that same thought, but I tried to stifle it.
I see some of these posts where people brag about making big bucks on their own accounts, and it just boggles my mind because their spelling and grammar are atrocious. Why am I having such a tough time making any money at MT with a 99.8% or higher QA score?
Ew - kinda scary! Thanks for the warning everybody. (nm)
(nm)
kinda agrees with my point
great new insurance -- NO DETAILS AVAILABLE --- trust us, we have anonymous posters on a board that say they love working for us.
haha - actually I kinda' like it better as a DO-DO list! nm

Here is my question.. kinda long..
I work as a trainer for a great company; however, the pay is just not there. I asked for a raise with no response. I have been in the MT business for 20ish years. I have and do perform QA duties, MT duties, etc when needed, but unfortunately the company I work for does not care. I truly love working with new MTs and new employees. I just want to find a company that wants the same. Any suggestions?!
lol...yah, person sounds kinda mad
/
LOL, it DID look kinda like something Focus would do to get applicants....
We all need an occasional giggle...Thinking Focus posted that to attract applicants was pretty entertaining :-)
Kinda like you should check your capitalizations?
Because she's not simply expressing an opinion, she is on a rant about a company she doesn't even intend to work for. If you don't like what you're offered, don't accept. It's that simple.
Sounds like there's a lot more than the MDI offer that has her off to the races.
There are constructive ways to present your argument and there are less constructive ways that make one appear a bit over the edge.
Nice way to pick on another poster's spelling though. I'll bet you're one of those delightful ladies that try to rain on everybody's parade who's happy, too.
Next time, check your own posts very carefully before you squirm in delight at finding a typo in another poster's post.
Have a lovely day :-)
Ever analyze this kinda stuff???
Those ticker-tapes that run along the bottom of the TV screen during news broadcasts, such as local news channels, MSNBC, CNN, HLN, etc?
I love to watch those just to catch all the typos (yes, I sometimes sit and watch the news for an hour to catch the highlights and find myself obsessing over the typos the ticker contains, lol!).
Oracle...nothing. Kinda disappointed.
I thought they liked us?
I kinda don't think they give a rats azz.
Hey if they can get us to work for 8 cent s a line, 150 lines an hour for a whopping $12.00 buck/hr. Hey!
May even be less and hour as the trend is going lower than 8 cents a line. Plus they keep hacking away at the lines counted by reconfiguring the system to give certain letters a value of this or that, or no value. It is a bad profession.
Sounding kinda paranoid.
Why are you so up in arms? Some of your comments sound like you're a caffeinated conspiracy theorist.
For instance, you think IC's billing statements will be scrutinized.
Uh, I have no problem with my bills being scrutinized. They are absolutely accurate and in keeping with my contract. Why would anybody be concerned unless they were trying to fudge the system, hmmmm?
As far as companies putting Spyware on ... pfffft. I go through a HIPPA compliance training session every year. Takes, what, 10 minutes? I sign the paper. Everybody's happy.
Mountain.
Molehill.
Learn to differentiate the difference and you'll be a much more relaxed person, IMO.
Kinda like being RAPED, and then believing
nm
I think it sucks and is not very user
I will never work on Meditech again, but to each their own. Good luck to you.
Lanier sucks
I really really hate this company. The hospital I was working in with them to get out of the old DOS platform. It took them several weeks to get it up and running, and I use the word running loosely. Most of us worked at home and they could NOT get the home employees up and running. We had so many service calls it got to the point they were telling us we had no more calls per contract. The system couldn't count lines either. It ended up with the employees having to come back in-house to work and because of the lack of ability to count, the bonuses were gone which averaged 1500.00 a month. A 65,000 a year job GONE because of those goofs.
TRANSCEND SUCKS!!!!...sm
Transcend has turned into one of those companies that do not give a crap about their employees anymore. They just put us on VR and then cut our pay by 40% but did not bother to tell us about the pay cut until yesterday, which is 12 days after the pay period began, but the pay cut started on August 1st, which means if you were planning on getting paid 7 cents per line for all lines typed from August 1st to August 12th, then that is just too bad. I guess we have to figure it out. Maybe I can call my bank and ask them to cut my mortgage by 40% this month since my employer cut my pay by 40% with absolutely no notice. They are so full of crap. They have people quitting left and right. I know of at least 3 MTs who have had to get 2nd jobs because they NEVER, EVER, EVER have enough work to go around. I had to bust my butt to get the few lines I can get by working at 2, 3, even 4 a.m. because that is the only time there is enough work to work for a couple of hours straight without running out. I used to be one of those MTs telling everyone how great Transcend was. What a fool I was!! They really got me this time. I know that these National companies are generally dirty, but I NEVER, EVER though that were this dirty. They just went from being one of the best companies to work for to one of the worst in a matter of a few months. One more thing, they just switched to this new platform called which is for transcribing and VR, and it SUCKS!!! It is not user friendly and has all kind of problems with it. Now is definitely not the time to sign on with Transcend, and TRUST ME, if you do, you will SOON regret it. TRANSCEND SUCKS!!
I work there. It sucks. nm

Future Net sucks....SM
No direct deposit, no benefits, minimal weekend incentive and now NO WORK. I can't put up with it anymore and I'm out of there......If you are looking for a good job, this is not the one.
That sucks...all I can say is hang in there...
Things should pick back up this week, especially with Spring Break being over with..
