try D&L typing service
I worked for them and they are closed on weekends so what they send you on Friday gives you all weekend to toggle it. Some of their work is also 48 hour turnaround time but depends on account. They pay on time also but no direct deposit.
D&L Typing Service
Looks like they are having problems again keeping their staff - they also have ads on other sites for recruiters - they just hired one a couple of months ago and they left - I here their tech staff is dwindling down too. Makes you wonder why they have the high TAT - I heard they had problems paying, hope all is well with MTs still there. We all know when a company is having problems it is our bottom line that hurts.
Does anybody know anything about D&L Typing Service? TIA. nm

D&L Typing Service ??
Does anybody know about this company? It may be one of the unknowns that is a good place to work. I did a search but found nothing on the boards. Any information would be appreciated! Thank you 
D&L Typing Service
It seems like every time (prior to the most recent fun going on there) when someone spoke of the BAD THINGS there, there ws that one MT that knew it all and said how great it was, and even called out one poster saying she knew why and when she was let go. I recall someone tried to call them out as a manager, seems like it must be true. No one has anything nice to say now. Did she not get paid too, is that why she is so quiet now?
I think if you get a check and it bounces you need to press charges. I guarantee you if D&L is paid by a bad check they would raise the roof. Unfortunately, the roof is pretty much falling in on them now. Not so many more stories can be told by them - they are running out of excuses.
I hope the Transcriptionist keep up the good fight and get what is theirs, and of course - I hope any company that would do this to others gets what they deserve as well.

Unfortunately D&L is not out of business - wishful thinking perhaps on your part (and mine). Also, they did have a manager for three years who quit last year amid some storm and controversy - possibly she knew and got out quick - or was there another scandal not mentioned - who knows? And the post referred to was probably posted by the owner sticking up for D&L posing as IC, if you search back through the pages you will know which one was discussed. You are right, not one old or current IC will stick up for any owner of D&L, but their employees were great people. I wish them and the IC well, and hope they get their money.
anyone work for D&L Typing Service?
Do they seem to have alot of accounts? Is pay still low?
D&L Typing Service--Trouble with Pay?
Is anyone else besides me being given the runaround about being paid, i.e., when payroll ends, when payday is, and when checks are mailed, etc. from this company? I was told paychecks are to be mailed on one day, only to be told they were mailed out the next day, and have not been paid and do not believe they ever mailed a check to begin with. Please say it ain't so.

WARNING ABOUT D&L TYPING SERVICE!!!!
I started for D&L not too long ago. So far, they had never run out of work, but then had some technical issues with the account I was on...that was a month ago, and we have been typing and retyping month old work, the same reports, over and over again as they are testing the system. My supervisors mentioned worry about D&L having lost the account, and having us do busywork in order to try to scramble to retrieve it. Also, numerous people have had their paychecks bounce, they do not return phone calls about the bounced checks, and the owners do not care one way or the other about the people they hire. DO NOT work for this company, unless all you want is a one way ticket to stress and headaches!
D&L Typing Service--beware
first, that was not a manager, it was a D&L IC who gave the company the benefit of the doubt as did a lot of D&L ICs and employees. D&L did not have managers ever. The owners are pathetic excuses for human beings who are choosing to hide behind the internet walls and be cowards. It will catch up to them...karma has a strange way of doing that. D&L has now supposedly gone out of business....be on the look out for any office located in Stroudsburg PA area or any company you cannot find verification on that someone has worked for them! Be very, very cautious that you are not dealing with the OLD D&L Typing Service! The independent contractors that worked for this company are amazing people and were one heck of a crew...and I do not know of any supervisor type person D&L had who stuck up for D&L ever!! D&L did everyone bad, took advantage of their hard working ICs and employees and then skated out when their money maker quit on them! No one knew what was really going on but the owners and you are right the MTs deserve every penny and then some that they do get from D&L...I just pray they get it!
Are you on straight typing or VR/typing?

FTP service
can anyone explain the difference of using an FTP and that of a company that expects one to have cable or high speed internet? I have been doing this for little over a year and hope this does not sound like a dumb question. Thank you for your help.
Another service
Please put your money where your mouth is, give initials or some relevant information, or please stop spreading innuendo. Thank you.
What service?
What service is she offering exactly? The service of placing yet another ad on the job board making us believe it is a completely different job only to be hired for the same account that Superior has listed right below it? Are you flipping serious? You honestly think we need this service? What a nice gig she has. I would love to place a bunch of ads and get people to work for a company and take a couple cents for each person I find. She must be exausted working so hard for us needy MTs. Thanks bunches TTD!!! What would we ever do without you? Go jump in a lake, fly a kite and kiss my butt.
At my very first outside service
job back in 1990 I was paid 7.5 cents per line based on a 55 character line for clinic work and a line was a line was a line. If I typed Sincerely, it was considered a line. None of this BS about characters only or black characters or no spaces or some other tomfoolery to rip off the MT. A large employer who has settled recently in a class action used to make us work on a 90-character line and then convert it to 55 when sent to the hospital and pocket the difference. Outrageous!
While I realize we will never have a line is a line again, unless you strike a good deal with a private doctor, I agree that a minumum 10 cpl (probably one of those tomfoolery lines to boot) in this day and age is not an obscene amount to ask for.
What other service do you mean? nm

What do they charge for their service?
I would be curious to know the cost of such a wonderful service and the success rate of placement.
Can someone tell me about JLG transcription service. Thank you.

DIT Service-please read
Has anyone in NC/SC heard or have knowledge of DIT Transcription Service out of Rock Hill SC. It is my understanding that they are outsourcing to India. Thanks in advance.
R&S transcription service
Hi, has anybody out there heard of R&S transcription service? What was your experience? Do they pay on time and are they friendly and fair? I am considering a radiology position with them.
Thanks in advance Thalia.
A to Z Transcription Service
Just wondering if anyone has any info to share on this company. I do not think that I have ever seen anything about them on this site, but I'm hoping someone here is in the know.
Thanks, and Happy Memorial Day everyone! 
Working for an MT service...
9 cpl is about the highest I've seen.
Never rely on just one MT service...sm
In my 13 years as an MT, I have been nearly evicted because I relied on only 1 company to make ends meet. After that experience, I vowed to always keep at least two companies to work for. It takes about that many or more just to make job security in this industry, depending on who you work for.
I'm really hearing good things about Transtech and Keystrokes, though I've never been involved with either one. They are saying these companies give you back-up accounts with plenty of work. Again, this is hearsay from this forum. Sounds like it is worth a shot, though.
The PTO is according to your length of service
I work there and get 7.08 hours per check. I haven't noticed less PTO. My complaint is the HEALTH INSURANCE for MTs (NOT Management). Ours stinks this year. NO RAISES. Any extra money we make will go to paying medical bills the INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER and RX which is NOT covered anymore. They give us $500 to spend for the whole year and that's it. Then the deductible kicks in and it is $5000!!!! I am checking other companies.
Same happened to me with a different service sm
Priority Transcription out of Ohio. And I was not the only one who did not get paid. I guess that owner's priority is to stiff her MTs and keep the money herself. All I can say is karma. 
Has anyone used a service called
Transcription Matchmaker? Seems like a good idea but don't have time to waste my time right now. Thanks.
It depends a lot on the service that has sm
your hospital's account.
Maybe the MTs should get finagle some kind of severance benefits package from the hospital--I believe it's been done by others.
You may end up making a lot more money at the service once you get your production up. Consider giving the service a shot as at least you know the account! As you said, your radiology dept might be outsourced, so if you hopped over to rads, you'd probably face this situation again.
I'd also check out the little hospital (you'd probably take a pay cut there) and see what it has to offer.
Play your cards close to your chest, hang onto a positive attitude(sure makes it easier!!!) and make the most of this new situation. This might be a very good change for you--make it one, anyway!
Best of luck!
Is this a service with an ad somewhere? Never heard of them. nm

ANP Transcription Service
Anyone hear of this company? I have been sending out resumes and today this came up in my bulk mail. I do not see where I sent them a resume. This is a mystery to me. Anyway, they do kinds of audio transcription, not just medical. I am looking for any information you can give me. TIA
What small service?
are you talking about? How do you know this?

THIS SERVICE OWNER DOES NOT PAY
A friend of mine has been working for this service owner, located in Arizona, and has received only one paycheck and that was late. She is now working without being paid, caught up in the I need the job and I need paid.
How do service owners get away with this? I wonder if contacting the contracted hospital would get her attention since multiple emails from multiple MTs are ignored, voice mails unanswered.
People wonder what happened to transcription? People like Philis Kortland happened to transcription.
What recourse does an MT truly have other than to quit? NONE.
Service Pack 3
I tried to download it on my computer and it messed up my computer, I had to call Dell and try to fix things. I ended up doing a systems restore and thank goodness everything was fine after that. I am not trying to downloaded it again!
Service Pack 3
My gosh i installed this and my network went down and couldnt even get online on my main computer. Had to uninstall and then everything worked fine.
How many of you actually work for more than one service
and would you recommend doing so to others? I am very seriously considering working for two separate MTSOs PT. One would be day shift and the other evenings. I am wondering if others do this and find that they have better paychecks than when working for one MTSO full-time.
It is the service's right not to employ PT
employees. My employer does not as they have to pay licensing fees for programs, and do not feel the fee is worth it for PT employees.
Google has a new service
coming out I heard that is very much like MJ but free. I too had MJ but got really bad connections. I liked the email voice mail but not the quality of my connections. My boss absolutely hated it and asked me to please not use it when I called her. I ended up back on Vonage. I had platform issues too when a call came in. I was at a standstill every time the phone rang.
Why does a service outsource?
Hi - I also am an American citizen and live in a rural area of Florida where the unemployment rate is 20%. I have taught hundreds of people to become MTs and they are some of the best I know, and still working for Transcend.
I have to tell you, when I owned MDI-FL, we did not outsource any work to India. But you know as well as I do, times have really changed. I am not thrilled with this. I never thought I'd see the day when we would have to go outside of the US. I always felt like most of us do, that I would definitely rather have US MTs.
Then, a hospital comes along and says - OK, we expect you to credit us $6,000 a month or we are going to outsource our work to India. For the first few years of this, we stick it out, but then you find out you are being undercut by so many other services because they can afford to charge a lot less than us because they outsource.
We still tried to hold out. Then it becomes a choice to either lower your MTs pay or outsource. I know how hard we work - don't forget I have been a MT for 35 years. So do we lose the work, lower our fees to the hospitals, have to lay off our MTs, lower our MTs pay, train additional MTs who work for less money, but then hurt our quality? You don't know how hard this decision is unless you are directly up against it.
Today, Transcend purchased and merged with a transcription company with a great reputation, who has 500 U.S. based, extremely experienced MTs who know their accounts inside out, who know what the doctors are going to say before they say it. I sincerely hope you all decide to stay with us, actually helping to lower the amount we outsource.
And yes, there are many hospitals who request please do not send our work overseas -- and WE DON'T. I am happy to say this is happening more and more.
It might be safe to say that I don't think there is a transcription service around that does not outsource. It is a sorry statement to make, but I think that is the case. And yes, it does come down to MONEY... We just can't continue to lower our rates, year after year.
We hold lunch time conferences each week with the entire company joining and I am going to suggest that the next subject be Why does a Service Outsource to India. I am sure Sue and Larry can answer this a lot better than I did.
Take care, and hang in there. Please e-mail me and if you want I can give you my number.

Then you need serious psychiatric help. Either that, or you came from a service worse than MQ
worse than them.
I did go home from an inhouse MT service
5 years ago where there was no flexibility whatsover, we worked every stinking weekend if we got hired for that shift and after 5 years of weekend and holidays they told me it would always be that way for me. Now with this company 6+ years I am going to be forced to work my holidays again? Just for insurance? Blood money I say. There is no flexibility in this new play either. Why are we home then? I would rather be in house, at least when I walk out I am done with it.
Cornerstone Transcription Service (sm)
Does anyone work for this company or have any knowledge about them at all? Thanks!
So is there a service that specializes in legal?
Tell us more.
Maybe YOU should try owning a service if you think you know more than those of us who do. I hope I
This profession needs a wakeup. We are not enemies but we are constantly backed into corners. First MTs are attacked, then MTSOs are attacked, then it goes back and forth.
My husband laughs and tells me that it is my fault for getting into a predominantly female field.
Yes, DSG (Dictation Service Group) uses DQS.
