Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for?  Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa?  Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
Re: Nicholas Transciption

The owner is wonderful.  They have great accounts.  You are not in a pool.  You get your own dictators.  The pay is on time.  The support is great.  Overall, a wonderful company.


Nicholas Transcription??
Does anyone know anything about this company? They have an ad for an Editor, but would like any positive/negative info before applying. Thanks!
Nicholas Transcription - SM
I did the test on Sunday. There were a few blanks which I thought were rather difficult but overall I thought that I did pretty well. I still have not heard from them. I have been a MT for over 11 years. Is it possible that I did that poorly or does it take a while for a response? Thanks for any help.

Hello,


Did you test with them yet?? I was contemplating taking the test, but do not know much about them. 


Thanks,

Nicholas Test

Yes, I did.  I was not a difficult test, basic knowledge of grammar.  The dictations were clear and not too difficult.  One was a little tricky.  I'm thinking if the test was clear, then their sound quality should be to, if I were to work for them. 


I just don't like most of these internet based platforms for the simple reason of the sound quality - the handful I've worked on can't be slowed down or tweaked.  ExText could but not the rest.  You can email me privately if you want.


Nicholas Transcription
Does anyone work for or know anything about Nicholas Transcription Company?  I checked the archives, but nothing since 2004. 
Nicholas Transcription...sm
Any current information on this company?
Nicholas Transcription

This company does not use a platform. You work with templates in MS Word. It is impossible to crash a computer using a template. Templates do not break hardware. If you were unhappy with the line rate than why agree to work with the company. When you are interviewed with this company it is explained up front what is expected of you and you are given a contract to sign again with what is expected of you in writing. If you can't live up to what is expected then do not sign the contract or agree to work for this company. This company works with each MT and if a problem arises and you can not meet your 24 hour TAT all you have to do is talk to them. They will work with you by extending additional time for you to complete the work, or have it reassigned. In regards to a $2 fee for the direct deposit. That is your choice, it is not required. You can receive a check in the mail, its your choice. If you feel that a company that provides samples, answers their own phone and email, works with each and every MT, requires no line minimun, has plenty of work, allows you to work on the same provider and not pull work from a pool, and allows you to complete your work at your convenience in a 24 hour TAT is a bad company to work for then perhaps its a good thing you are not working for them.  


Anyone with information on Nicholas Transcription in NH? Thank you! (NM)

I always got paid on time at Nicholas..sm
I think there were possibly a couple of times where it was 2-3 days late, but she always let us know what was going on ... she's a nice lady to work for, friendly and flexible.

Biggest drawback for me was pay was only 7 cpl at the time (about 4-5 years ago), and there was slight disorganization due to rapid growth. New tech issues, specs, staff changes, etc. Decent dictators, though, and I liked working there. I left due to the pay.

All that being said, I now have my own MT service, and I personally do not agree with paying ICs when an MTSO gets paid. I consider that a business expense like any other, and I allow for and recoup those costs from the clients accordingly. An MTSO's collection issues/methods should not be the IC's problem, IMO. I believe an IC has the right to expect regular payment for services rendered.

If you can accept the payment arrangement knowing there MIGHT be times you'll have to wait, it's a nice place to work, though.
Nicholas Transcription/not Valentine
My head must have left me...I was wondering about Nicholas Transcription in New Hampshire not about Valentine Transcription.  Anyone heard anything about them or has anyone worked for them.  JMD 
Nicholas Transcription FTP question..

I'm just wondering which File Transfer Protocol they use.  I don't mean to sound like I'm prying, but the last couple I've used I had a problem slowing down the dictation, meaning you could absolutely not slow the voice down, or even adjust it.  It was the way it was.  Now, how in the world can you start a new account without being able to slow down occassionally? 


Anybody else had this problem?  Are they all like this?  I'm on C-phone right now.  Not perfect, but I like it okay.


Playback Software at Nicholas

Gotcha!  Getting my terms straight here   So, I did my research and the software used to 'play' the voice is Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software )DTPS).


The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed.  Are they all like that?


I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at Nicholas.  BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!


Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!


 


 


It doesn't look like you'll get paid by Nicholas
you don't know when you'll get paid.  The others I have no idea.  Just my 2 cents. 
I looked into Nicholas, but I felt that it was too risky

Has anyone ever left Keystrokes and gone back? I left a few months ago and realize that I made a

It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.

What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.

Has anyone worked for or heard of SC Trans? Thank you!
CC Trans
I had ben contacted several times to work, then nothing, then once they contacted me and I was unable to that day, so nothing.  Now I got another call asking if I could - said yes, and guess what - nothing. Maybe they forgot who they are contacting?

Work is easy/normal, but platform is slow with entering a lot of demographics. Pay is regular at 8 cpl. Staff really easy to work with. Have you applied yet?
Med Trans, Inc.
Has anyone heard of this company? You pay $4xx.xx to take the course, and are then hired by them to work for them. They are a member of the BBB, and have very few complaints. Just can't find anything else on them.
TRANS-PLUS
Does anyone know the new name of Transcriptions Plus?  It is or was located in southern California.  I believe it has been renamed tho.  Does anyone know the name? Thank you.  Dee

We have filled the position for radiology transcriptionist.  Thanks to all who sent resumes to LMT Trans.  We still have an opportunity for psych transcriptionists.  Please feel free to send your resume to LMTTRANS@aol.com, attention: Sarah.
Med Trans, Inc
Does anyone know any information on this company as far as work, pay, etc.?
ANP Trans
I was wondering about them.  I just started doing some research on them tonight and have read some pretty decent comments about them -- until now.  The rate sounds very low; however, if you break it down you get -- 0.0051 per word comes to about 82 cents per minute of dictation or 8 cents per line (65 characters).  When you look at it that way, it doesn't seem so bad anymore.  Pretty much right up there with every other company.  Thnx for the info about late checks. 
Is this CC trans?
no, I'm not an MTSO if that's what you're asking
CC trans
I've been doing the same thing. I'm still waiting for the fees for wire transfers and for the bounced check I had because of her bounced check to be deposited in my account. In the meantime, I need a job.
Med Trans Inc.

Does anyone have any information about this company?  I already did the archive search and found very, very little. (So, please don't tell me to do that ;) )


 


Thanks in advance for any information!


Med Trans

Run away from J. at MedTrans of America.  She will not pay you.  I am going to the Labor Board.  She has only voice mail and now does not answer my e-mails.  She says she does not pay for spaces.  Thank the Lord I only worked for her briefly.  Keep away.

Trans Sollutions in TX?
What are you doing for them?  Are they located in Texas?  If so, then I worked for them.  What can I tell you?
New England Med Trans
I worked for them back in 2000 and 2001 for 8 cpl hosp and 7 cpl clinic.  They direct deposit pay and are reliable and on time with pay.  Only problem I had was that pay never would go up higher than that but don't know about now.  No set hours which is good but 24 hour turnaround time.  I actually know the owner from living in that area in the past and they are a trustworthy company just not high paying unless they have changed.  I would be interested if you get a job with them how they are now to work with.  Anything else I can answer just ask.
Med Trans of America

Can anyone tell me anything about Med Trans of America?  Have they always had payroll problems?


Anyone work for LMT TRANS?

I am going to be starting with them today and I was just wondering what anyone can tell me about their experiences with LMT TRANS?  I had to leave my other company because started sending work overseas and left me with next to nothing to type or QA.  I am hoping that this company can keep me busy. 


 


Out of where? Heard of LM but not LMT trans?

No, read my name GA trans......SM
I'm not defending her as she sounds quite immature and unprofessional, have never worked for her and had never even heard of her until this post, but I can understand plain English when I read it.
trans company
Because the company I worked for did a very bad thing and think they can get away with it by placing balme on others away from the facts at hand. And if they sign up here as a trans they can copy and paste the information - how do I know, because when I worked there they did it frequently.
I learned alot from the inside about trans companies - they need us, but at same time abuse their power over the work they assign. They think because we work for them, we arent as smart as them.
