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.

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!
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 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...

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

Nope. No 20hr position. Please don't give wrong info.

They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm
I get what you are all saying about them not having to give give you work, but...
I guess I just figure that as an IC, I am basically my own business and it is my responsibility to make sure that the work is done when it should be. I just think that if the standard of the company is 24 hour TAT then that is what I am agreeing to do when they hire me. There are advantages for both of us to the IC senerio, they do not have to pay benefits, or take care of collecting and reporting the taxes, and I have to adhear to the 24 hour TAT (or what every thier standards are) but can do that during hours that are convenient to me. Of course it is better for the company if they know exactly when I am going to be sitting at my desk and typing that is why they have the option of hiring employees. Just my opinion and wanting things to be like they used to be.. I guess I have to get out of my time warp or look a little harder for a company who really knows what IC status means.
Give it time, sweetie, give it time.

Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m
Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!! 
Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm
Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc. Otherwise, the all the 411. 
Thanks!
Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone
love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.
Any new info on Amphion? Archive search doesn't provide new info (sm)
Looking for a part-time position with decent pay and decent workflow. There's nothing new in the archives.
Need info on eMTS out of Florida. Any info would be appreciated!

Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages. Have things changed for the better here? Is there steady, reliable work? Able to make any decent money? Thanks!
Don't give up what you now have. (nm)

We Cannot Give Up..
I have been doing this for 10 years now and I believe that none of us should give up. It is my understanding that part of the reason why they are going offshore anyway, besides low cost, is because they cannot find anyone who wants to do the work here. Partly, I disagree with nobody wanting to find work because it took me many, many attempts to find a job and I was so desperate at the time that I worked for one of those Indian companies. I found that team leaders there are not qualified enough to lead and really have no leadership abilities. Also, the MTs are not great either. If we all team up together, I believe with my whole heart that we can truly win our jobs back. Besides...how many people do you know wants their medical reports and social security numbers floating over there anyway? I know I don't.
give it to you
on a handout in the packet. I didn't gain, didn't lose.
I would give it a try
about how MTs were dropping out of the sky like flies. I don't believe it. Good ones are very hard to find. Ones that will work and not take a half day to go to Wal-Mart. It is not a straight typing job. Most people think it is. I have people calling me all the time saying My sister is interested in that. She can type. and on and on.

Why give up one?
It sounds like you have a good thing going working amongst both? But if I HAD to give up one, I'd probably give up the national and stay with the smaller MTSO with plenty of work and good communication.
Seems a bit low? It IS A LOT LOW! Don't give
them the benefit of your time for the interview. Line pay is not worth it at all! Taking a job with a co that pays line pay says you are not into quality because apparently they aren't! All of the QA I know will not work for line pay. There are companies out there that pay decent for QA. Don't settle for it or you will be selling your fellow QA folks down the river. Hang tight and find these hourly jobs. I have one that is a pretty good rate. Tell the 2-cent-per-line companies what they can do with their QA jobs
ugh.. i give up.. that should say.. SM not NM ..
nm
I give up
You know, most MTs who post on this board seem very negative. I have 2 years experience, but you don't even know what I have been doing in those 2 years, or my educational background, so how could you even say I am not qualified? I was just responding to a post directed at me. Good grief.
