Current information.
I've been with OSi for a couple of years, and I have no complaints.
Currently, the insurance is Aetna, certainly middle of the road in coverage and price, and they switched to them from United Health last August because UH was going drastically increase the premiums due to the high volume of use they had from the company. Current family plan on the managed PPO is around $250 per pay period (twice a month), and that is the most expensive plan. The others have much higher deductables, and they offer the medical savings account plan, but I prefer a traditional coverage plan. If you're looking for individual coverage it is much less than that. OSi pays about 50% of the cost, some other companies are contributing more like 80%, so the monthly bill is higher than some, less than others.
I have received all bonuses promised, all holiday pay, all celebratory pay, and my annual raises. All pay has been on time. I have found the pay scale to be very competetive with other nationals.
You are expected to have a schedule, but in my experience there is more than adequate flexibility for anything that comes up. If you are scheduled on the weekends and have made other arrangements for time off you may be called, but just if they haven't seen the change or if your manager forgets to change it on the schedule for the week. Like any real job working for other people, things happen, and you may just need to say that you made other arrangements with your manager. Not a big deal, frankly. You just need to let people know in advance, or if it is last minute call, so they aren't wondering what happened.
Vacation time accrues at a rate equal to 10 days a year in the first 3 years, then increases. Vacation pay rate is based on you average output prior to vacation (not sure how long they average). Not as high as you would get typing, but certainly very nice when you're on vacation.
If you work on a government account you do have a background check, but you provide the contacts for them, so think about who you list. This is done by an outside government source, not OSi, though they send the paperwork, then it's sent to the gov. agency.
If you do work on VA accounts, typically all national holiday weeks are pretty light, but they make up for it in volume by the end of the week. Other accounts vary as to flow of work, though most seem pretty steady in my experience.
I happen to really like my primary account. The lines pile up fast, because the reports are long, and you don't spend a lot of time setting up the demographics. Not all accounts are equal, and with first-hand knowledge of several accounts at OSi and at a few other nationals, the specific account is the luck of the draw.
This is a real job, and I've found that if I approach it like one it is appreciated. If you are a full-time employee it is reasonable for a company to expect you to work your hours as planned unless you notify them otherwise. I know many companies give a time window of 12 hours to get your lines and hours in, so you may be more comfortable with a place like that than with a job that asks you to base your week on a regular schedule. There are many people who are better suited to freelance gigs, because the reason they work at home is to have total freedom to work when and how often they want. If that is what you're looking for, you should consider working as an independant contractor (IC). There are some working at OSi, and most other companies also have both employee and IC positions. You just have to ask the recruiter or personnel officer if it's available, and get the rates.
Please keep in mind that message boards are most often used by people who have something they want to complain about. It's an easy place to vent frustration and anger, and sometimes not so easy to get the opinions of people who are busy at work. As a very long-time internet user, I've found that to be true of all types of message boards, and you have to learn to balance the information you get from here accordingly.
Any current information on OSi?
Thanks, but I'm looking for current information. Anyone else?
It is better to get the current information sm
directly from the employer as we may not have the most correct information ourselves or may even misinterpret what we do have. That is why we say ask the employer. It's not fair to you to give you incorrect or misleading information.
Any current information
Is there anyone with current information on Lartech? Pay? Pay on time? Any info is appreciated
UST--current information
Considering applying. Any information as far as how they are to work for, benefits, etc?
Looking for current information regarding
Archivus. I have seen some discussions about them on this site, where it was stated that they were changing their platform from Vienetta to Transcribe+, but I cannot find out any information about this platform and was hoping some of you who are working for Archivus, or those who use the same platform, could provide some information here about the platform.
Also, I am wondering about the flexibility in scheduling. They say they do offer flexible schedules, and the employment type is IC. Do you know what timeframe there is for getting in the 1200 lines per day?
I guess the other thing I would like to know about is, does anyone know about how long it takes to get up and running once an offer of employment has been made? There was some discussion here about that being the one bad thing about this company, so I was just looking for an idea of how long it actually takes.
I appreciate any insight offered here. Thanks, and have a great day!

Current Transcend Employees
Would you refer a friend to Transcend at this point in time as one of the best to work for as far as nationals go? Why or why not?
Transcend current info - sm
Any current info on Transcend. I am considering applying since they had an ad in the last few weeks. Their website says they use BeyondTXT. Is it productive.
P.s. I know they offshore 7%, says so on one of the links on their website, this is not an issue for me as most of the nationals do and as long as I have work I don't care - don't yell at me in a post about offshoring, I don't like it either but have learned to live with it and complain via the appropriate avenues and not bash people who work for companies that do it, so don't get on me for looking there for that reason only please. (I want the facts about actually working there from people who know!)
Current Transcend employees - how about (sm)
their platform? Is it anything like DocQScribe or is it like Dictaphone ExText?
Also, I understand there are schedules but is there any flexibility? Do they work with you if you need to change times for unexpected events, etc.?
Is the work pretty constant? I know it fluctuates greatly this time of year, but am speaking generally.
Any other info appreciated. E-mail if you wish.
TIA
Transcend current info
What would you like to know. I would give them about an 8 out 10 for being a good company to work for. They need to police their ROMs more as they have a few really horrible ones. They are generally fair and pay okay. Their iinsurance kind of sucks. They are going with voice recognition A LOT.
I worked for them for over 3 years - have been away for 2 months. So, my info is current. Feel free to e-mail me anytime. I have nothing bad to say about them except they are a big company and what I call the 'suits' and I have gone to a smaller company run by MTs so I like it much, much better and I hated voice recognition.
If you like voice recognition and like a big company, they are the way to go in a heartbeat. Not a good fit anymore with me though but I still have warm fuzzy feelings for the ol' suits, lol
I am a current Transcend employee and think they are great.
Any new job takes time to learn. Give it a little while longer and see how it goes, check in with your Team Leader, they can really help you.
Good Luck.
Need current info on Transcend/MDI-FL radiology?
TIA
Current Transcend employees...what type of lines...sm
What type of line counts are you getting as far as VR on the Beyond Text platform? I am rather new and not getting a very good line count and was wondering if there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have gone through all the resources on the main website to help enhance line count, but not seeing much of a difference. Thanks. 
copied from email sent to current Transcend employees.
It does, however, provide additional opportunities as
we become a larger and more meaningful company. MDI was attracted to Transcend
because Transcend is widely recognized as the best company in the industry. MDI
is also very excited about Transcend’s technology, speech recognition successes,
and broad capacity to deliver services on a large scale.
This is a company big on VR. Hope you like it.
Any information on Transcend?
How is the workflow? The line rate? Any information would be helpful!
Would appreciate current info on Proscript, Aubri, Transcend, or ETransplus
Would appreciate any information from MTs currently employed at any of these companies. Many, many thanks.

Can anyone give me information on Transcend Services Voice Recognition editors? sm

Any input on anything to do with the company and/or information on Voice Recognition editors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
