Which companies use VR for a platform besides Transcend, Sten-Tel and Focus? sm
Am looking for part time editing job, but cannot load EditScript.  Tried Transcend, but the VR just disappeared out of the queue.  I posted my resume, but just get offers for MT, of which I already have plenty.  Would like to post directly to the companies that use a different platform, if I can find them.  TIA.
Any info on Sten-Tel?

Any info on Amicus Sten-Tel? nm
Tx
INFO: Enright Sten-tel

Hello,


I was wondering if anyone has heard of this company, or possibly worked for them?  Any information positive or negative is appreciated.


Thanks


Sten-Tel contract, anyone with any info on their contracts? more inside
I received their contract and had my attorney look at it and some red flags came up.  One of the things that is in it is an indemnity clause stating that I an as an IC hold them harmless for ANY liability even if it's THEIR fault.  And there is no guarantee of any certain amount of work or amount of hours in it.  Please help and advise if you can.  I would like to hear from any previous Sten-Tel workers or present ones.  Thanks.
Anyone have any recent info on Sten-Tel out of Massachusetts? Old posts were rather confusing sm
as to whether the company was Indian or not.  There is an ad up on another board for editors.  Are they offshore?  TIA.
Transcend does! Give them a try.

Transcend does give you credit but I
am going into business for myself anyway this summer. Transcend has whacko management but at least you could see your lines.
Give Transcend a chance
First of all, hello to all of you from MDI-MD.

I certainly know where you are all coming from. In January of 2005, Sue and I decided to sell MDI-FL to Transcend. We worried and prayed over it. We had over 500 employees and hoped that they all would understand and stay on with us, as I felt they were the best MTs in the world. I spoke to each and every one of our MTs and explained the situation, telling them that as far as I knew nothing would change; that Transcend was a great company who cared about their customers and MTs, as well as quality, which I never wanted to jeopardize. After getting to know Larry Gerdes, the CEO of Transcend, we knew that this was going to be a great fit.

Our MTs were all a little afraid, but fortunately they believed what I told them and about 90% stayed with us and I am thrilled to say are still with us. (Thanks Deb, Sheila and Carmen for your very kind words).

I know what you are going through. Try not to be too hard on MDI-MD. I do not know anyone there, but I have heard they are an extremely nice group of people who think the world of all of their MTs and also are great to their customers. I know when we sold MDI-FL all of our MTs remained on the exact same accounts that they had been on, so I don't see why we would do anything differently now.

Yes, Transcend does send a very small percentage of our work to India - I believe 15%. This will never replace our hard-working US force of MTs.

I would just wish you all would not be so harsh on MDI-MD. In the past, I have seen many of you write such nice things about them. They didn't merge with Transcend to hurt you. After working for us for a while, you might even like it. We are very well known for our flexibility, flex-time, etc. You will see that Sue (who is now President and COO) and Larry (our CEO) both have an open door policy, the ROMs are great and the Team Leaders are also.

I hope I was of some help to you. If you would like to send me an e-mail, you may at Liz.McGrogan@trcr.com. Good luck to each and every one of you. I do hope you decide to give Transcend a chance!

Thanks again,
Liz McGrogan

Any info on Sten-Tel..not much info
Any info is appreciated.
Okay..I'll give ya that one. I came from the MDI side as it merged with Transcend so...
I was offered more than 4 cpl per line on editing and I'm not sure why if everyone else prior had been given 3 cpl. There is no way I would do editing for 3 cpl and trust me..coming from MDI into Transcend was not happy days for us. The biggest problem that I did have was when I found out our work was getting sent to India. Nothing is worse than being told we share work with our overseas partners and have too many days of no work. I have no doubt where it was going. So, never having come from the Transcend side, where you came from, I'm only going to relay my experience and apologize if that is what actually happened there. Yikes..I rely heavily on the MTs and supervisors who came from MDI because I know they watch our backs.
give amphion or transcend a try and dont always base choice on posts

Can anyone give me information on Transcend Services Voice Recognition editors? sm
I was offered a job with them.  Curious as to how good their benefits are, how easy the program is, and if the dictations are REALLY awful or just as any others.  Any input on anything to do with the company and/or information on Voice Recognition editors would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!
Not really, if anyone has info, they give SM
an answer.  If no one knows, the post doesn't get a reply.
Could you give me any info on
Transcend.  I am so glad to hear a positive post about a company.  As I said, I am starting very soon, am very excited about a change of pace.  I was getting kind of bored and their pay incentive looks excellent.  They are also sending me the computer, everything.  Thanks for something positive on this mostly negative board.
Please someone give me as much info as possible on MDI-FL..sm
I am torn between them and another company that I have a job offer with.  I was quoted a rate on their insurance and the quote was comparable to everyone else.  I was wondering if you ran out of work, easily could meet your production, and if the program was not too hard.  I have been an MT for many years.  I just would like some information on them as I don't want to make the wrong decision.  TIA!
Could you give us some more info?
Nice to find somebody who actually works for them.  You said you work part-time - about how many hours a week?  About how much per hour can you make and what are the line rates like?  I heard you have to buy expensive equipment.  Is that still so?  Good accounts?  Thanks.
They sure don't give out much info
on their website regarding job requirements, etc.  They are not hiring right now but your job sounds so good.  Do you get paid for spaces? Right now I am at a company that only does consultation letters and I bet I spend 5-10 minutes PER report looking up doctor's addresses for the carbon copies. There are very few ESLs and the dictation if fairly good and the owner is terrific to work for, but I cannot make a decent living.  The major issue that holds me back is I only have dialup internet and so many companies require high speed.   Thanks.
Can anyone give me some info on --sm

MD-IT?  I guess I am not sure how to search the archives for any information. Rate of pay would be good, platform, etc.  This one is in Kentucky.


TIA


Can someone give me info about MDI....sm

Can anyone give info on OSI?
Are they a good company to work for?  Good benefits?  Enough work?  Any comments would be appreciated.  Thank you.
Can anybody give me info on JLG
How are they like to work for, do they have work, do they do VR and what is their platform?  I have been considering applying there, but just cannot seem to find any good MT companies to work for nowadays.

I don't work for them, but can give some info

I interviewed with them several months ago.  For level 3 acute care, I was offered 10 cpl for IC, 11 cpl over a certain number of lines per week.  For IC, line requirement was 1000 lines per week and seemed that they would be very flexible.  Use your own computer if IC.


I was also offered 8.5 cpl for employee status (with incentives depending on lines per hour worked).  I think they required 20 hours per week and have to keep an average of at least 150 lines per hour (it sounded like they had a time clock system).  They provide the computer if employee status. 


Everyone I spoke to was very nice, especially the recruiter.  I turned the offer down due to reasons not relating to the company in particular.  They did tell me that they had a lot of ESL (the test consisted of all ESL), but I don't know if this would apply to ER.  Hope this helps.     


Can anyone give me info on ExecuScribe?
Work volume, benefits, anything at all. Thanks!
Any MDI-FL employees that can give me some info? (sm)

Flexibility with schedules, insurance?? I know they have benefits and insurance but wondered if insurance was good. Just overall opinions on satisfaction or dissatisfaction would be appreciated.  TIA.


Can someone give info on Precyse VRs?

I have done ASRs before with Transcend and with Transcend it would have been faster retyping the report. I would like some current info on what it is like working on Precyse ASRs?  Thanks...


Is there anyone that can give any info on DSG. I am looking at applying there and would like some

Can anyone give my any info on Med-Scribe in Florida?
They have called me back about a position on an ER account. I was wondering if anyone has worked for this company and could share the positives and negatives about them. Any info is greatly appreciated!
Anyone who works at eMTS willing to give some info?
I am interested in this place since their web site says they were affiliated with MRC.  I worked for MRC for years and loved it, then it became the Q and I finally left there recently after over 15 years.  Am looking for a company that would be a good fit for me, wondering if this might be a possibility?  If you would rather email that would be fine too.  I am interested in how many hours/lines is required for FT, if they hire PT at all, what do they mean by flexible schedule is it REALLY flexible?  And what kind of production incentives do they offer?  Also, what platform do they use and how is that as far as user friendly, etc.?  I have worked on DQS and EXTEXT recently, any comparison?  Any info would be appreciated, positives/negatives/etc.  Thanks!
No thanks. Dont want to give this much control/info
that you don't know about.  What kind of software/spyware/trackers are also put on your PC with something like this?  No thanks.
Can anyone give any updated info on Amphion? sm

Unexpectedly this morning, I received a recruiting email from them.  I have sort of been going over some of the companies and comtemplating making a change.  I have 5+ years in my current company, and the only real thing I am looking to change is: (1) Better pay by the line; (2) Getting my weekends and holidays back to spend with my family.  I currently work EVERY Saturday.  Don't really mind it, but would like to be able to make plans and perhaps rotating weekends would even be okay. 


I was just wondering if anyone can give me any updated insight into this company. I did a search, but the threads are several months old, and was wondering perhaps if things were any different than those posts read.


I have a lot of experience in transcription, upwards of 16 years, with probably only half of that being in acute care.  Other important things to consider in my search is benefits.  The health insurance at my current company is very expensive. 


Thanks for any input guys! I appreciate it.


 


Can anyone give me current info on SmartMed?

I want to know how flexible they are with their IC positions and how easy the platform is.  Do they really work IC or are they just employees without the benefits?


I mean, any info you can give me about this company would be greatly appreciated.

Who in the world would give you any info other than an email address?
With most of the flaky ads, no one knows who they are applying to, or what will be done with their info.  Their is no way I would give you my address or phone number, unless I know you are a real company, with a website and and and address and a phone number of your own.  Most ads do not even include this, and there is no way I am giving you my private info, other than an anonymous email address.
Anyone working for Landmark right now that can give any info on things there. nm

RE: Info on Transcend please
Carly D:

I am a part-time employee of Transcend for the past 2+ years. If you are looking for
information concerning the company's policies and procedures, etc., other than the noninformative posts below, which are personal opinions of some annoymous person/persons who did not even quantify their remarks with objective examples, then feel free to reply to this message and I will be happy to hopefully provide you with some information to aid you in deciding to join the Transcend team.

Transcend Info/cpl
I have an interview scheduled with Transcend but it isn't until late last week which puts me at a stanstill with other companies.  Basically, I am wondering if anyone has any info on them at all - especially what they pay.   But any additional info would be very important - like the ease of the platform, what the people are like, etc.  Thanks in advance :)
