Lisa, if you're name is not on the list in the link inside,
Here is a listing of all CMTs.

Can someone list all the MT companies that exist?
I've tried to find a complete listing of every MT company that exists, but no luck. Can anyone here provide me with that or at least tell me where to get it? Thanks
Can you help with a list of companies that do pay downtime?
n
I have 2 companies on my list to apply to if
MQ sinks and Medware is one of them! Thanks for the info!
List of companies using ExText? sm
Can anyone give me a list of companies that use ExText? Looking for part-time position and IC or employee; specialize in OPs, 10+ yrs experience.  Thanks in advance!
Maybe list the bad companies instead of the good
I don't really blame the person that has the great job for not wanting to post it on the board. I had a great job at one time and they lost their big accounts and I lost the job. Now I got a good job, but the pay isn't much unfortunately, but the work is good and steady.

Maybe people rather wouldn't mind listing the names of companies they worked for and got burned or hated the job for whatever reasons.

If there are any good companies they are few and far between unfortunately. I was making more per line 10 to 20 years ago than now. Our rates have not increased. The only difference is we are on computers now instead of typewriters. I don't think any of these companies care about us as people. We are just money makers for them. That's their bottom line. I'd love to know how much they are getting per line from the hospitals. Probably 16 cents a line and we are getting 8. It really stinks. The only way to make more is to work more and more. And then when you work like 8 hours overtime and see your check it really is disgusting how little it added up to. At least in the days where we were employees at hospitals our overtime pay would be so great that it made it worth it.
Is there a list of companies that DON'T OFFSHORE?

If not, can we list them here?  I'm tired of getting laid off or not having enough work from companies who're sending work to India. 


 


If you know of a company that doesn't offshore, it would also be nice if you could say whether or not they require VR.


 


Thanks in advance to anyone who participates -- we're all in this together!   


Would like to know list of companies that use Webtop please?
Anyone know of companies that use the program, Webtop?  Thanks!
Here is a list of companies that offshore ... FYI

See study overview table from 2008 MTSO study:

What is sad is that you'll get a longer list of companies
People with skill and experience are too costly to most large MTSOs.  Quantity is more important than quality because, after all, it's cheaper to hire a couple skilled professionals to clean up the mess of the larger group of unexperienced/unskilled MTs that they can hire for a lot less. 
List of companies that use Dictaphone platform??
I like working on the Dictaphone platform and would like to find a company that uses this platform.. preferably with low ESL.  Tried a company that had Dictaphone but the ESL was so bad I could not get a good line count.
And a lot of the lists are made up of companies that pay to be on the list. sm
I think your best bet is to either go with someone who is well known or go with a small company if you know someone who works there.
Can anyone share a compiled list of companies

And a second list of companies USA only? This would be a great reference tool for those of us who have made a personal choice to only work for USA firms.  I thought about compiling a list, but am afraid it would not be all-inclusive, and I know that some of you out there are very knowledgeable and have done much research.


Also on the American ones, perhaps if you know they cheat on line counts, pay, give the run around, that would help too.  I could probably help with that but again it would not be all inclusive.


Maybe we can get a few posts together and share notes.  I think that this kind of list of all of our experiences (collectively would be a great reference tool), and perhaps it could be saved here somewhere, maybe earmarked for future reference so people would not have to constantly search through archives.  Why reinvent the wheel over and over again if we could have all this info in 1 place.


I think that if we work all collectively, we can improve our working conditions, because MTSOs on that list will be held accountable at least by the amount of people who read this board and support the ideas which seem to come up often here, namely, keep it in the USA, keep wages fair, treat the remote MT/QA professionally, etc.


When gas prices went through the roof the American public cut back and you see now, gas prices are going down. This should be an example to us that if we all work together throughout the country, changes must be made by those who are cheating the MT.  By us having this information, and keeping it here, then people can have a great list to keep in their back pocket, and finally companies will be held accountable. 


I will be willing to put some into the list, but I don't know it all so I need help.  Will wait for feedback first. Thanks in advance for listening to my idea.


OP asked for a list of companies that DO offshore (sm)
Inside the post she asked to start a second list of companies who keep work here in the USA.  I understood the post, and was merely listing Keystrokes as someone who does NOT offshore to go on the second list of companies that keeps work here.  KS does NOT offshore and they never will.
Here is a compiled list of Indian MT companies
http://mtherald.com/medical-transcription-companies-in-india-a-detailed-list/

Checkout this list. You've two more such lists on that blog, totaling three.

One thing you need to know with the Indian companies is that the rates are low and you cannot earn as much as you can in the US.
Please form a list of nonVR companies

It would be great to have all in 1 place companies which do not have VR (and they usually are all USA too).  I can only come up with 2 to start, but please add to the list.  This would certainly help out those who do not wish to take the leap at this time into that kind of technology.  Thanks for adding to the list.


1.  Keystrokes.  Very little VR, lots of straight typing.  No overseas.


2.  SoftScript.  I think all straight typing.  I do believe no overseas.


Please add to the list. It would be a helpful tool for many of us. Sorry I can't think of more, but then again, that is why I am creating this post. Thanks again.


 


Correction to list below of Companies that do not off shore
Optiscript in State College,Pa DOES off shore. I was offered a job with them until I heard from a very reliable source that they even have offices out of the country. Stay away!
Still good companies in my opinion...was not on the list. Check them out for yourself OP

Partial list of companies providing a computer...sm

Diskriter, Precyse, Opti-Script (Penn.), CIT (Charts in Time), WebMedX, Spheris, and Amphion.  Transcend used to. Maybe someone can say whether Transtech or MQ still do. I do not know if you have to be FT in order to get computer provided with any of these companies. Opti-Script in Penn. WILL provide one for part-timers. Good luck!


I just emailed Mr. Dobbs with a partial list of MT companies
that outsource that weren't on his list.  Thanks for the link!
good list of companies for straight typers
1. Keystrokes
2. SoftScript
3. Digital Transcription Systems, Inc. (DTS--Oklahoma)
4. TRS, LLC (N.Carolina)
5. Silent Type, Inc.
6. TransPro Medical Transcription, Inc.
7. New England Medical Transcription, Inc. (NEMT)
8. Southern Transcription Services,Inc (Georgia)
Everyone is always wondering what companies offshore and i found a link to a bunch

http://www.angelfire.com/mt2/transcription/medical_transcription_services.htm


 


Notice AlphaBest is on there and she SWEARS she does not  send work to India.  I worked there and i knew she did but she refused to admit it even though it is in writin now.


They're not listed on MTD's Companies list. Maybe do a Yahoo search? nm

I have an idea..we should all start a list of MT companies that are no payers, bad payers, and late
but it is even worse when no one knows their record until they find out the hard way as they sit around waiting to get paid. I think it's rude to bounce checks, pay people late or not at all. We're not all working for free because we wanted to donate our time. We need to work to survive and those companies just prey on people. If they are getting paid, yet they can't pay their MTs, I'd say that someone doesn't know how to manage money. I just find it sad.
Your link is broken.....see inside for correct link:

How do you know list is true? I can make a list,

where is the MQ link

I do not see the MQ link to the left of the page anymore.  Was it moved?


 


MQ Link

To sm:


I am sorry for my post. I did not really see the Medquist menu at the left margin as of the time I posted my suggestion. It seems the link has been deleted for some time, as some viewers have just complained. 


Thanks,

see link below
It's an SE position.  Fortunately I'm a vet and can get my healthcare at the V.A.  I'll figure something out later, but right now I need an INCOME since MQ has messed me up royally.  I may have other places I could find health insurance, maybe through the small business organization or something. Ill miss my PTO, but, hey, nothing is perfect :)
no link for me
Since the boards went through an update (about the time the MQ board was made) I haven't been able to see any specialty boards listed on the left anymore, just Top, Home, and Contact.  I have to go to Home to see the list of the specialty boards and for some reason MQ board is not even on there with the others. 
Try this link.
When the link opens up, look on the left-hand side under News & Info, and there is a section called message board.   If this link doesn't work go to yahoo.com and click on finance.  When the finance page opens up, type trcr at the top of the page where it says enter symbol(s).  The message board link will be on the left-hand side of that page too. 
Link to another link. Look for changes soon

I don't work for CyMed, but I saw this link posted on another board.  It seems to have a little information.

They give me a check and a nice luncheon. I've only been working for them for 3 months so I was pleasantly surprised that they invited me since I don't work in-house.

Here's a link when I was asking about them
a while ago.  I did contact them and told me only full-time positions but that's all I really asked about so don't know anything more.  You might get some hits if you put the name in the Google search at top and click on search MT Stars.
Here's a link.
This has a couple of them.

AHIMA looked into it, suggested everyone do VBC and why. Clients, I suppose, would be the ones to insist on VBR because they can check bills for accuracy.

However, read this one addressing all from MTs voice in the matter, you will love it:
