Are they U.S. based and do not outsource transcription out of U.S. ?

Didn't we just recently have ads to hire more MTs at Webmedx and also (sm)
have notices of referral bonuses if we referred people? I am hoping they are ramping up for new accounts and this is just a temporary thing as new people are put on existing accounts.
I know all companies have ups and downs and I have been around long enough to know you have to go with the flow, but I have seen many, many posts about this company over-hiring and am a little concerned.
Anyone??? Encouraging info please???
I applied recently. They want 1000 lpd, use an FTP site. Didn't say anything about benes for FT.

You're best bet is to try and acquire a job on-site.

I just got an email from them, they pay up to 8 cents a line, but it is based on a gross line.

I just had a very bad experience w/ RapidText Inc, of Newport Beach CA. I'd avoid them like the plague.
RapidText
Have just been hired by them. What is their platform like? Dictators? Am looking at the QA penalties. Any comment on those? Good company to work for? Thank you.
Rapidtext
This is a great company...been with them for years.
RapidTEXT
I was told that RapidTEXT, @ Newport Beach, CA, is going through some changes. Not sure if this is a merger or what, but one person did lose his job recently. I do not know the details.
They used to be RapidText.
I used to work for them doing insurance transcription before I was an MT. Not to be confused with Rapid Transcript, by the way. Pay was always on time. Don't know anything about them post People Support, though.
Rapidtext
I meant Rapidtext
Rapidtext
My address IS correct, correction from prior post.

I got ahold of the CEO of that company. She's investigating herself to see what's up.
Rapidtext
Well, I'm already looking for other work.
Rapidtext
Okay, thank you for your input.

I worked for those guys for two years and only had one check come late, which was during a switch in their payroll department. I received profuse apologies for this as my check did not go to direct deposit as it was supposed to. When I contacted them to find out what was going on, they cut a check and overnighted it to me.
These folks were great to me! :)
RapidText Inc info
Could you give some solid details - I am curious because I was considering applying, however, I just heard from a friend who worked for them and she could not get paid for months. What was your experience?

Desperate seeking Rapidtext employee(s)
Please, if anyone out there is currently working for Rapidtext out of Newport Beach, CA, please, please contact me at mtmaven@yahoo.com.
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
Has been down a lot recently, but..
only for very short periods at a time, not sure if they're doing upgrades or what. Could also be weather-related with the terrible tornadoes this week in parts of the country. You just have to be patient and adjust your schedule slightly when it happens. I love the BeyondTxt platform, it's the easiest I've worked on. IMO, MDI-FL is a very good company, and I can't say that about many out there these days, so was worth it for me.
recently went to an HSA
and went IC.
Actually some of us are ICs. Recently ...
MDI was only hiring ICs with SE status after so many days or months. So there are some ICs that were with MDI.
In my meeting CB said that Transcend had IC, SE and employee and the usual case by case. I think she wrongfully mislead the person who asked this question because that was the first I had heard of their being SE status at Transcend.
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).
That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
I have not had issues until recently and
with you I would; however, I don't! FYI, I am dealing with my issues and if they are not resolved to my satisfaction, I will leave. Thanks for your concern and have a great day! DVW
Recently started too
Flexible schedule but you need to decide what your hours are and commit to them. Benefits granted at 32 hours. Plenty of work. Really good, patient and supportive people. Training with guaranteed pay. Smooth, easy and fast startup. Good, high-tech platform.
There was recently a big campaign on
to try to get MLS who were smart enough to quit Transcend before, to come back to Transcend because of all the recent *improvements* the company claimed they made. I wonder how many of those did come back and how many are happy that they came back did versus how many have quit again or are ready to quit again.
Hired recently for 0.825 cpl.
:)
Duh..I until recently was an Ochsner MT and still
geez... get your facts straight
I see, yea, happened again recently with someone in QA and
today with a wonderful coordinator, seems very unstable. I just don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
Well, I started recently
and I'm only getting 8.5 c. I'm FT, acute care and do the weekend. And I have 18 years experience with acute care. That totally sucks. I'm so depressed now. I wish I would have never read this whole thread. 
Have been postson it recently. I know you have to
train in house for a week or two - I believe two? Which was totally not part of my game plan anymore! Yuck!
As recently as 2 months ago, they are SM
still selling you that foot pedal (that you pay full purchase price for and then in the contract it says you must return WHAT YOU PAID FOR when you leave them) and they have the same pay scale they did 3-4 years ago. They still tend to prey mostly on new-ish transcriptionists who don't know any better. Other than the person recruiting, nothing has changed about Medscribe in Jacksonville, FL.
Yes it has happened recently, and sm
people have been posting about them paying late & shorting checks for 2 years now. How they are still getting away with this?
We hav recently answered these
Look on page 2,3,4,5 etc...
Try Breitner out of N.Y.- ran ad recently
xx
Took that test recently
and it did not require a foot pedal. The test I took was pretty much multiple choice and spelling corrections. But yours might be set up differently.
There was talk about them recently, but again (sm)
They are notoriously bad about paying and have been for years. They misrepresent whether they pay for spaces or not, and they pay when they feel like it. I waited months for payment back when I worked for them a few years ago.
Started recently
Lots of work. Very nice people to work for! Platform is easy to work on.
I just recently left
They changed accounts on me all the time - they overhire and then we ended up with no work.
What do you mean "until very recently"?
They haven't done ANYTHING to prevent it!!!!!! In fact, they encourage it!!!!!!!!!
I do too, and they helped me recently
when I had a low-virtual memory problem and I wasn't savvy enough to know what to do. Busy as they are, they didn't make me feel stupid for needing help with it.
Who is the too? I've seen ads recently for JLG. They
do disappear for a while and then pop up again. For a while they had recruiters, maybe they hired from the posted resumes, maybe the hired locally.
I worked there very recently
I worked for Precyse for 6 months. In the beginning, workflow was great. I don't know what happened between then and now, but I was lucky to get 50 hours for a 2-week pay period. When work is low, you usually can't work on your secondary because their work is low also and they don't want to take away from the primary MTs. That leaves no room open to make up time. Every pay period, I had to use whatever was in my PTO account for the missing money.
I actually had 4 different accounts I was doing at one time to keep busy, so I should have been considered on the SWAT team as far as that goes...lol.
It is a very nice company with wonderful people, but my main issue is feeding my kids and helping my husband with the bills, so I took my 10 years' experience elsewhere and am very, very happy.
Recently purchased . . .
They were also recently purchased by Nuance/Dictaphone. Strangely enough, while some of the accounts are with eScription, Nuance is the company that created Dragon Naturally Speaking so I wonder if there will be some sort of marriage along those lines in the future as well.
How long ago was that, recently?NM

I just recently interviewed with them.
This was for acute care: Base pay was 8 cpl, 65 character line with spaces, goes up to 8.75 for 1600+ lines a day. There's a $1000 sign on bonus, paid at $100 per paycheck. You have to be there a year before you get any vacation time, which is 2 weeks. No holiday pay.
If you just did this fairly recently..
Please be patient. Management is currently moving into a new office and it could be disrupting the phones/e-mails. I would give it a few more days. I work for them typing radiology and absolutely love it!
Just started recently as an IC (sm)
I recently took an IC position and needless to say am very, very impressed with the way they operate. The training was excellent, communication with them has been excellent. If an IC, you send your availability and it can change from week to week. Pay is comparable to other companies out there. They seem to be a very straightforward and honest company.
