Chronicle gets my vote!

Hello fellow MTs!  Anyone care to share any info on this company?

TIA!

They're certainly a nice group, but may be a little manipulative as well.  Not unlike a lot of companies, they seem to expect that the company's needs come first and your life comes second.  Don't be shocked when they call you at times when you are not scheduled.  The QA can be a little condescending, or at least seems that way in email.  The platform stinks (APEX); really difficult to get a decent line count, plus it had the habit of breaking down at least once daily, often in the middle of a report.  If you have nothing else to do with your time and you don't really need a lot of money, and you do transcription because you just really LOVE it and would rather transcribe than do just about anything else, including sleep, then they are very pleasant to work for; however, if you want to work your set schedule and not be bothered on off hours, this company may not be a good fit for you.

I am scheduled for a telephone interview with Chronicle Transcripts next week.  Do they require you to have any special equipment outside of Windows XP, 512 mb, USB port footpedal, sound card to hear the audio files?  I know most companies do not require anything other as stated above, but I thought I may have read somewhere they required something in addition.

Just wanted to know if I have everything I needed, if they offer me a job.

TIA

here tested with them recently?  Hard, ESL?  Any advise to share would be great. 

Thanks in advance.

looking for current experience with them?  Training, pay, platform, QA?  Is there enough work? 

I went through training and now I'm not sure I made the right decision.  Any comments from anyone who started recently?

I've taken a position with CTI, but I'm kind of worried after reading all the negative posts about the horrible Apex platform.

Is there anyone who works for them who is satisfied?

Most info I found on these two companies is rather old...Any new info?  The good, bad, and ugly please.  Trying to make an informed decision and find my home :)  TIA

anyone have any information to share on either of these two companies?  They are both advertising for current openings.  I'm currently an IC and wondering if there really is a benefit to being employee status?  

Any information on platform, management, QA, etc. would be appreciated.  Easy/hard to meet production quotas?  Pay on time?  I don't need health benefits.

Any information is appreciated. 

California uses the same platform the other posters here mention (APEX).  I stayed for 2 months and finally called it a day.  It was horrible, always breaking down, slow, the dictionary isn't even a standard medical dictionary.  Are Chronicle and Transolutions the same company or related does anyone know?

I left soon after starting with them a while ago because they didn't have enough work.  They are advertising again saying lots of work available.  I had to buy Word 2003 the first time only to find out it wasn't enough work to keep busy.  Have things changed?  Do they have enough work for everyone?  Is the same rude QA woman still there?  Same platform (uses Word 2003)?  Any info would be appreciated.

What type of work do they have?  Any op reports?  Appreciate any info. 

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 

I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 

There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments

Does anyone know anything about them?  I read old posts, but would like to see if anyone knows anything more recent.
