I have been at Transtech for about a year and a half and I can honestly say that it is the best job I have had in this industry.  Since I worked on Extext in the past the only thing I had to learn were dictators - not bad at all, and account specifics which were very easy, only a couple pages long, very concise and easy to understand.  My account specifics at MedQuist were so long and confusing and full of redundant things. Don't worry about learning new things, it is so worth it especially since you have some Extext experience. It will come back to you because it is such an easy platform to use.  Management has been great.  My little boy has a birth defect and sometimes I have disrupted and crazy days but they are very understanding.

Go for it, Kelly, I promise you will agree that it is worth the effort!!

I swear, I usually get along with most people but this one is trying my nerves.  This lady did not get along with the other transcriptionists.  She claimed they made too much noise, their hand lotion smelled (even though it was unscented), they shook the cubicle too much, always a complaint.  So what the boss do? She moves me and the this whinny lady to a little office all to our own.  I wasn’t complaining.  Anyway, the only thing I hear out of this office lady is either bragging about herself or putting one of the other Transcriptionist down.   She does put atmosphere in our office.  I had to get up and go pee.  She gives me a dirty look.  I say “what.”  Then she says I have this psychiatric disorder that I have to get up and down too much.  Another complaint she had about the other office girls, they were in an out of the office too much, never sat still. 

Then, she starts complaining about this ESL she was transcribing for.  He is horrible, he needs to go back where he came from blah blah blah, I just chuckled a little.  SHE says “ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee.”  Then she starts in on how her neighbor in her apartment complex was making too much noise with his girlfriend last night.  I chuckled.  ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee. She had to walk further to her apartment.  I said why, she said “OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE HAD MY PARKING PLACE hospital employee.” Then she slammed something on her desk and went to typing.  I am sorry, I don’t know how to deal with this.

Thank you for the clarification.  It is apparent that one of two scenarios is happening here.   You are either charging too little of your client, undercutting all competition, or you are keeping too much of the profits for yourself!! 

Since you have direct contact with this client, why not train them to train the horrible, ESL, fast-talking dictator!!

BTW, I work the night shift, so the time I spend here is my own time, as if that is any of your business.

you could manually type it in and resend me the info.  Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.

the e-mail address of someone I can contact at Spheris to get my deposit back for equipment that I returned in July?  I moved out of state and they do not have my contact information.  I want to give them my addy so they can mail me my check.

Thanks (if you click on my name, you can e-mail me).

Take care,

Sure, feel free.  I really know what you are going through working with MQ.  It took me months to get up the nerve to finally untie my apron strings.

I would also like website and information on this company.  Is the dictation good quality?   How much do they pay?  IC or employee?

Thank you for taking the time for my questions.

e-mail (free) blanketing anyone who gets on an MT mailing list looking for unskilled (low pay) workers to churn out poor quality work for big profits.  Sounds right out of a get rich book to me. Standard operating procedure for most companies in transcription biz.

If you don't receive it, please let me know!
