YEAH for you! Nice to hear a happy ending.
I thought of you today. You posted once a fave website with a alphabetical Genus species list. I used it today as it is saved in my faves and it is only listed as HAYSEED! I wondered how you were...
Glad to hear!
Congrats !! I'm happy for you. .nm

Congrats! I'm so very happy for you. Maybe we'll be on the same account. :-) nm
thank you, that's very nice to hear.
do you use Lanier transcribing unit? Thank you for the information. I do not know what clinic I'll be on, but they require Lanier.
Nice to hear that. I am starting
with them. Do you have a steady supply. Not worried about ESLs, do them all the time. Are the rigid about the schedule (like MQ is turning into) or flexible.
Nice to hear that someone likes this job. I have just started and so far so
good. It seems to me that those who don't like it may not have been meeting the criteria they require. They were very up front with me on what was expected and, as far as I can tell, as long as you do your job there shouldn't be a problem.
Hey, nice to hear from you again. I would say Encompass is a very good sm
place to work. I wasn't working there full-time, but from what I saw, they have a nice benefit package, and the staff is very helpful and professional. The only kinda scary part is that they require 99.5% accuracy (or maybe 99, cannot remember). Fortunately, on my first QA thing before being released from QA, I did manage to achieve that (a little more actually), so I was relieved. I guess I just do not have enough confidence in myself. Unfortunately, they lost the account I was hired for, but they were looking for another one. In the meantime, though, my personal life kind of took a different turn, and I ended up moving from Kansas to Colorado, so I decided one job was enough for now.
As for eTransPlus, they are also very friendly, although much more disorganized than some companies. I was put off for a week and a half past the date I was hired to start, then when I did start, there were tech problems, then I did 4 jobs or so and ran out of work ... that kind of thing. Again, when I decided to move, I just decided it was not worth the extra aggravation. Still, I would recommend either company.
There are still some good companies out there, although I hesitate to comment since my experience is not recent. I used to work for MDI-MD, and they paid VERY well at the time because you had to supply your own LD, and that was before the days of unlimited LD. I had 5 accounts, so managed to keep myself busy, but now I read posts about people running out of work, so I do not really know.
I have heard good things about Axolotl, and I applied, but the only opening is 3rd shift with 80% ESLs, so I decided not to do it. Their benefits are great, though - no deductible for BC/BS! And there is a $500 sign-on bonus too. Oh well ...
I talked to Acusis, and if you can overlook their heavy overseas connection, they have a nice benefit package as well. The pay is so-so. I guess no one ever pays me what I know I am worth. 
If you run into a company you are interested in, feel free to ask me. I have been an MT for about 100 years now, so I might have worked for them! 
Good luck -- hope you find something wonderful.
Thanks You. It is nice to hear positives on Transcend since they (sm)
Will be my employer. I am trying to stay positive throughout the process, and not follow the rumors of paycuts, etc. on the boards. I will just wait and see what happens, and if I don't like the terms then I will look elsewhere.
The only thing I am upset about is possibly not working on Bayscribe anymore. Hope we get to keep using it at for our accounts.
Nice to hear. Can you give some details on the coverage?

It is nice to see someone happy about
VR. Could you please post the name of the company you work for? It would be nice to finally hear something good about a company for a change.
LOL--boy would that be nice. We'd all be happy MTs.
Awesome, it's so nice to hear from people who like their jobs and are positive.nm

I am so happy to hear your post.
I have been with them a week now and have been getting discouraged. Tech problems yesterday and only 6 reports in 3 hours. I hope it picks. Listening to you makes me feel lots better.
Glad to hear you are happy.
Maybe they save this behavior for their ICs. There is no reason for me to lie. They are threatening in the way they DEMAND that you work a set schedule, even though one is SUPPOSED to be an IC.
The micromanaging comes in when as an IC you don't log in exactly at the SCHEDULED time to work.
Bottom line, TTS does not respect the law when it comes to IC workers. Period. They will eventually be dealt with if they do not begin to follow the law.
Very happy with PS. Extremely nice people. sm
Their platform is fully over internet. It has a few bugs, but they are working these out all the time. These are just plain nice people running that place. I really have enjoyed them and am so happy to have shed the stress of the uncertainty with MedQuist. Proscript does not offshore, either.
The big thing I like about Proscript is that they all work together pleasantly. With MQ, we are left out there alone without the tools to do a good job. With Proscript I actually feel I am part of an organization that is genuinely dedicated to doing a good job - and provides the tools and the feedback to do that. I like the QA people, too. They provide good feedback done in a diplomatic way - and they know we are all just human, which helps.
Sten-Tel...any QAs here work there? If so, how is it? I'd be happy to hear from ya:D nm
nm
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Why are those your only choices?
x
your choices
You are obviously new. Please search archives for the companies you are chosing between. It is not the sunshine and roses you are expecting, unless you think $12 an hour is living wage. This is from a fast reader and a good Editor also.
your choices
It seems immature to be rude to someone asking a question, especially to someone who may be new to the board. We are all just here for a little information, not to be slammed. Hopefully you will have a better day tomorrow! :)
So I have two choices
Work for low pay and drive the Editor nuts, which seems to be fine with the owner who makes this arrangement of paying more than one person peanuts...or I can try to search out a company who will compensate me for a meticulous work product. Thank you.
Sounds about right.
Choices
What I see is a lot of posts about Keystrokes and Transtech so people tend to go with one or the other and then come right back here to bash these companies for one issue or another. It seems to be a cycling of MTs over and over again. There are other companies out there besides these two you know so I would not limit a job search to these two. These companies are promoted on this board by the same small group of people over and over. I will say I was very very apprehensive about going to work for KS for this very reason. However, seeing more positive posts than negatives, I decided to go with them. I have found that they are a great company to work for. No one ever bothers me and my pay is correct and on time. I have had to take unexpected time off due to some urgent situations and they have never given me a hard time about it. Sometimes life can be so stressful so its good to find a company that understands that family comes first and situations do arise that are beyond our control.
Choices
If you work for someone who is insisting you store PHI on your computer you need to make sure YOU are following the law and doing it correctly. I would suggest you look up what those requirements are as they're pretty much a PITA.
Also, MTs are puppets-- It really *IS* okay to say- I'm sorry, but storing this data will cost $$$ in order to make sure I am HIPAA compliant.
Just cause someone says do it, doesn't mean you have to break the law and do as they say.
TT gives 2 choices, your PC or theirs.
Insurance is with BCBS and very reasonable. PTO is good too. The best part about Transtech is that they treat everyone as an equal, no big I, little U mentality.
I think you have two choices in this situation.
Since you have already discussed this with her and she has not made any changes...you can transcribe 30 minutes of dictation or more - depending on how much time you have - and return the rest, or you can find another MTSO to work for. You can only do so much .
Looks like I picked the 2 right choices TY!
/
It's obvious I don't base my choices
by this board; however, the negative things that have been stated have been true. Guess I should have taken the hint the first 3 times in regards to getting the hiring process completed. Since they could not follow through with that, don't know what made me think they could follow through with anything else!
Dislike it, too. Much too involved, too many choices, etc. nm

This obviously all boils down to choices. If your willing to use a C-phone, then there is work but
if you want to work for an account that you were hired for, say using editing, or basically internet-based, the work load can be somewhat fluctuating and this could be due to the fact that many were hired on these editing accounts so it keeps the work load down most of the time. It also depends on the hospital your working on. Some have more work than others. Just be aware of what you will need and want in order to keep working. I still stand by the fact that sometimes things promised never materialize and emails are delayed in being answered. Other than that, pay is on time and for some that is enough to keep them happy. I say, try it out. Only you can decide what works for you or what is acceptable. Again, it is about choices.
Posters can choose emoticons from the choices given

Life is about choices. Nobody forces her to work so hard and
put in so many hours that she's hiring people and ignoring them. I don't agree with that, no matter what the excuse is. We're all busy people. We all have lives. That doesn't mean you have the right to mess with people's income and careers. Employees or ICs aren't just disposable commodities that you toss aside on a whim. It's called RESPECT for your fellow humans.
Yes, even without a raise, currently compared to my other choices, I would wholeheartedly recommend
As far as ESL - yes. Most accounts are 60%+ at least from what I have been offered. However, I would have to say that only on certain days do I get 60% ESL and most the time, I have an easier time understand the ESL dictators more than some of the non-ESL dictators. I guess it is kind of a wish-wash in regards to ESL. I would say even though it sounds like a lot, I think they are pretty comparible at least in my experience.
VR depends on what account you are on. Some of my accounts are phenominal and others not so good. However, they do give you the option to remove dictators (though don't seem to listen to half my requests) if their VR is bad. Plus the pay is the best in the business for VR at least from what I have seen.
2 choices: Continue to call/write repeatedly or move on. nm

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

Congrats to both of you!
I'm glad you are both happy with your jobs. :)
Congrats! nm

Congrats!!
Figured I'd say it.
congrats
thank you very much!!!!!!!
Congrats! :) I wish they had at least NM
let me know whether or not I passed the test or that they filled the position already! Oh well, I suppose it was good experience! :)
The good new is, I was offered a position with 2 other companies (Echo and The Word Pros) and was able to accept both as The Word Pros is a p.r.n. position (sort of like a temp agency--you take work only if you want to).
I hope you love it at PMSI!
Just Me
Congrats.
Good luck in your new adventure.
Congrats
You must have a wonderful account with a wonderful platform. Can't be MediTech, is it? You were lucky to get a good account with good dictators and easy platform. Right place at the right time. Think of the money you will be raking in:)
Congrats!
Been there for a month and i love it. I have plenty of work and everyone has been very helpful as I learn the accounts, etc. They expect a lot but they give a lot too! Good luck and welcome!
Congrats!!!!
Would you mind e-mailing me with any info that you've been given. I'm not to that stage yet so until I get to talk with them some more I'm flying blind :(
Congrats to you!!!
I like to post non-critical questions on here as well. I hate to bug my supervisor unless I have to. I posted a question Sunday and got rude comments because of it. At the time, I didn't have my paperwork to look up an answer. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking questions here. That is what this board is for. I have asked my supervisor a ton of questions today and got very quick responses. I think people like to post rude comments because they either have nothing better to do or are just miserable in life. Who knows, maybe they hate their job and resent us for going after a better one. Anyway, post away. I don't mind answering anybody's questions if I know the answer and I definitely appreciate the answers I get on here! :)
Congrats!
Congratulations on the job!! Let us know how you feel WHEN YOU QUIT THIS ONE! LOL. Years ago, I was a regional manager for Transcend. They let me work my way up from at home Transcriptionist to QA to Transcription supervisor to Regional manager. At that time they were a great company to work for, especially since my local company was bought by them, and the transition was pretty good. I am not there now because I have kids and cannot travel anymore, plus I moved to a southern state where they did not have a presence then (no internet transcribing back then, only expensive long distance). If they are the same company as then, you should have a good career. Keep in touch with us, to let us know how it goes!
Congrats.........
for getting out of the Q!  
Congrats! Let us know how you do!
nm
Congrats to you. Did you ask during sm
x
Congrats!!!
You're going to absolutely love working for MDI. No games, no hassles, great communication, and for the most part really decent dictators, too.
Congrats on getting on board... :-)
