In Reply to: The reason I ask is because I am new and I applied and I got offered a "job"... - mindy
They want a fee of $55.00 I was offered a job there, too, but I wouldn't do it because of the fee.

Yes - Excalibur Remote Workforce is Legitimate although there is a small fee!
They are legitimate although they do charge a small fee which I didn't mind paying since they are legitimate.
I joined with Excalibur and I have been happily working with the company now for 5 months as a contractor on their client referral position as Medical Transcriber.
Don't let the fee discourage you - its for your background check verification and their work at home job bank registry.
Thanks & Good luck!

I sent a resume, heard back today. You have to pay $55 for the background check etc but if they don't hire you, then they supposedly give it back. I'm searching to see if I can find any information on them now. It sounds good, if it is actually legitimate. I've seen them posted on quite a few legit freelance boards, so hoping it's not a scam. I'll let you know if I find anything good or bad.
Anyone dumb enough to pay Excalibur
deserves the lesson they are about to receive. WAKE UP! SMELL THE SCAM!
There is no shortage. And as far as the "aging workforce" sm
if they'd pay me what I am WORTH instead of fractions of a cent maybe I wouldn't have to work 2 jobs 7 days a week and age myself even effing faster.
Yes - and plant closings. Has to be 33% or more of workforce
The biggest loopholes (for MTSOs) are faltering business or unforeseen business circumstances. The loss of a client, for instance, might open either loophole for them to skate through.
Unfortunately, clients make it a habit to keep it a deep, dark secret that they're switching to another vendor until the last possible moment so that the current vendor won't start moving people to other accounts, putting their work at the bottom of the pile, etc. I've seen them call up on a Friday and say 'Oh, by the way, ummm...on Monday you'll probably notice a slight dropoff in the work. How many minutes should you plan for? Oh, probably somewhere around NONE. Goodbye!'
Respect the American workforce?
Since when did sending American jobs overseas equate to respecting the American workforce? I am so happy that I do not work for any of these sleazy, offshoring MTSOs. People, get out while you can, seriously. This is pathetic!
Data Entry / Excalibur
Does anyone work for or know anything about this company? Sorry, no time nor money for scams.
Excalibur is legit and they are now hiring again for new projects!
I been working with Excalibur for the past 9 months!
I currently do transcription and document coding with them FT and i love the variety of jobs they post each week in their remote job bank registry.
Thanks

WAH MOMMY!
"Aging workforce" refers to the population in general - not MTs.
It's pretty well documented that with the baby boomers aging, that anything related to healthcare including transcription will increase in demand. Supply will not exceed that demand.

I am a remote MT
You must have a different supervisor.
It could still be remote...
they would just contract with individuals versus a service, and they could have 1-2 onsite employees to facilitate.
remote MT
That is exactly how it should be.
Remote Coding
Does anyone have anything to say about the remote coding.
Are you forgetting that most MTs are remote? sm
Difficult for a company to pass out checks to someone who is hundreds of miles away.
that is exactly how it was when transcription first went remote--sm
and we made tons of money. Not any more.
You will be told that you can work remote,
And, there are a number of excuses that will be given as to the reason why. Pay is not toooooo bad. Would not go there. There are better jobs out there. Best of luck to you.
It's too easy to mistreat remote MTs.
They know they'll never have to face you up close and personal. You don't work on-site so you probably have no way of knowing what they're up to behind your back and cannot hold them accountable. The worst of them may see you as a mere tool to use or abuse to make themselves rich.
As for the nasty e-mails, some places send them to everybody from time to time as a general threat in their never-ending campaign to depress wages/line rates. Don't take them personally.
Oh no! Remote transcriptionists put on mute! That's a whole new low to sink to!
So sorry for you, though I can relate. Ah, I'm sure their ad really fooled us all, huh? More than just a number! 
What are some easy companies for a remote transcriptionist to start with?
I have been a Transcriptionist for 5 years. Are there any easy companies out there to start with as a remote MT. I have tried to work with one company at home but the training process was very complicated and required A LOT of computer knowledge. I need to know some good companies to check out and some of the ones to stay away from.
