A search here turns up lots of negative information.
Best of luck with your continued job search. 
Tons and tons of stuff in the archives. nm
try googling them
Do they have a website?? Couldn't find it by Googling them..THANKS! nm

I found a template while randomly googling - sm
While I was researching Meditech I came across a website for a company, I don't remember which one, that used it and had a template with the F keys on it. I think it was for Magic. Good luck.
What is the name of the company?? StatlQ? I can't find it by googling (sm)
Can you give some more info, is there a website? TIA.
these are what I found googling "mxsecure mtstars"
they look like from the same person, but this might help:
07/13/2007--They ding you for everything. From what I gather, the few editors they have are very inexperienced and they have an automatic grader that takes lines from you. The account specifics are very vague and often times do not match the examples given. For example, the example may show to do a report one way and if you do it that way, the Editor may mark it wrong and you lose lines. My first week, I lost 60.00 for the most minor of things and things I could verify in the BOS. Nobody will respond when you try to get verification. My check was short, nobody would respond to that either. I left after just 3 weeks. I would stay away from this bunch.
05/29/2008--They are just about all Filipino MT related and they literally kiss their behinds. They used to deduct from them just like the domestics, but they are phasing that out. Domestics are deducted for every little mistake. One girl was let go after only one week, had NO mentoring. Admin staff never been MTs.
Try googling a line you remember from the ad and see if it shows up that way. NM

Is there a website for Accustat? I couldn't find it by Googling.. could someone e-mail me the (s
web address? TIA.
It turns out you might be right!...sm
I had requested a contract and pay dates from them, and that was the end of our conversation. The other e-mails before that were coming back at me with lightening speed. That was even before I came here to see all the negative remarks, so it all added up. Thank God for this board because I would have been wondering what's up. Wonder no more!
Thanks!
Yep and turns out they need help so its not really PRN
Its whenever you want to work.
if that turns out to be factual, SM
speaking as a veteran MT, I say stick together as a sisterhood in this profession and don't go with a Phillipine company. There are many jobs out there with reputable companies who hire only U.S. transcriptionists. Let this SPI advertise until their blue in the face. They will be desperate for skilled transcriptionist, because the overseas transcriptionists cannot cut it. Stand strong and go somewhere else. If everyone could do this (yes, I know it is not possible in situations where you cannot find a replacement job), this company will flop. The experienced and skilled U.S. MTs and editors who have the option to go with a company who does not outsource (there are many companies who do not), could virtually throw these foreign MT companies out of business with regard to the U.S. physician clients and hospitals. The garbage that comes in from overseas is a disgrace. Let the work go straight from the Indian or Philipine MT or Editor to the U.S. physician, and see how long the doctor keeps the service. By working for these companies, we are enabling them to stay in business and take over. Let's put a stop to it. I'll be the first to say, I would not be able to produce an acceptable transcription report in a foreign language format, so why are we letting them take all of our business, and then help them fix their mistakes so they come out smellin' like a rose. Sorry, I am most passionate about this issue.
No matter what the truth turns out to be, sm
no one is going to believe it unless it's the worst of all these speculations! Too bad it has gotten this far.
Nice one day, turns on you the next. I guess the MTs who
never talked to or know the owner are the lucky ones. She comes on as being so very helpful, promising you what sound too good to be true, and guess what? It is.
Do the managers take turns being on call 24 hrs a day?
...
So many twists and turns on this issue
The post here states very confusing- well maybe for some but I love and have been a Transcriptionist for much longer, almost 35 years now, doing VR for about 6 years and ours is tremendously good, can put on auto and really easy money for me. I think it all gets down to WHAT VR you use. Some are lots better than others. I do not find difficult in the least. I really look forward to working each and every day. Piece of cake!
My archive search turns up nothing.
I stated that I already know that they offshore. If you don't have any answers, why did you reply?
Turns out it was innocent oversight
Does not seem to be the event it has been in the past. In the 80s I worked for a hospital in So Cal that offered a luncheon to us MTs, little tokens, etc. It is what we make of it; perhaps send out gentle reminders next year. :)
I recently downloaded a trial of spyware and it turns off ITV when IT is trying to access it.
Don't know if that may be your problem or not, but that is the only time I have had it happen. It alwasy links to IE and I haven't figured out how to stop that. Wish I could.
Perhaps the owner is waiting to see if the pilot test turns permanent...sm
that's just my thoughts.
Turns out she was just frazzled hiring people. She works there. Sorry about the bad press.

Christmas gift appreciated, but turns out not to be a gift if there is no work the day after
Christmas Day. Yes, it was $25.00 (twenty-five). I lost that much this morning when there was NO WORK. I had so hoped to have a good paycheck this pay period, and was working very hard to have one -- as I need the money SO BAD.
I was appreciative of the $25, rather than some kind of novelty advertising token with company logo on it, like some MTSO's would give to a prospective client, etc. Oh, yes, I made very good use of the $25. I took it and paid my high-speed internet bill, a necessary tool for working my job -- which the $25 was very much short of paying that phone charge.
THANK YOU TT for the $25. 
Anyone know anything about Global Information Systems? Any information would be appreciated. nm
Why don't you just go to MQ? They seem to be having TONS OF FUN 24/7!-nm

I have used it tons
It is a pretty easy system to get used to. A lot of nationals use it. It is the same testing system that Career Step uses for their final. I like it better than some of the other tests that I have taken. Just don't close out of your objective portion or when you log back in you will have a whole new test. That happened to me before. 
Tons of work
I don't know what account other poster is on but she should probably check with her supervisor about the no work issue--that doesn't sound like Amphion.
The account I'm on is never out of work and it is always available to work on, overtime included. I love Amphion and have been at several different companies.
Amphion gives me the freedom to do my work and keeps me in work but they don't bug me to death about work. They go above and beyond to create macros, request software changes that get approved for MTs to use to make our jobs easier. I get employee benefits including retirement and PTO and I couldn't be happier. I'm also not bombarded with emails all day like I was at TRS a few years ago. The supervisors and QA are great! I was not sure when I started because I was skeptical from past jobs, so I started part-time and kept my other full-time MT job, then made the switch to full-time with Amphion after a few months and I am so glad I did.
If anyone remembers Omnimed from a few years back, they are now back as Amphion. You really have to just give it a shot to see if they're a good fit.
There are tons of comments
All you have to do is start going back on the company board. On each page of posts go to edit on your menu bar and then select 'find on this page' and type OSI. Or you can search the archives. Most of the posts are not good at all.
If you don't have tons of experience, why not?
I have a decent amount of experience (6 years), but if you want to compete against people with 20+ years' experience, it certainly can't hurt to get your CMT and get everything you can possibly put on your resume. The test and studying for it did teach me a lot.
So...while it's correct that a lot of places don't care if you have a CMT, some places do. Seek them out.
While we're on the subject, I still haven't done anything to earn my continuing ed credits... I bought this book on amazon with a bunch of articles in it that supposedly you can summarize for continuing ed credit. Bo-ring...that's the last thing I wanna do with my free time. But it's something, anyway.
Flo, there are tons of info
as recent as yesterday. All you have to do is go to page 2 or 3 or 4. There is probably someting on each of the pages about this company.
Not tons, but there are a number of them who SM
are totally unintelligible.
Tons of lists, etc.
yes, and it seems like a lot of paperwork, wondering if I should go ahead with this company or not! What do you think? amj
I have tons of work.. I can't see how you can say that.
What account are you on?
To Have Tons To Share
Don't see your e-mail - can you send again? Thanks
Tons of work currently
Hmmm, I have not had this problem at Amphion. We have been doing overtime for a long time now, sometimes mandatory, sometimes optional. I have by no means ran out of work. I just wanted to give another opinion. I'm very happy working there and would recommend them. 
I have always had tons of work..SM
I would e-mail Lee directly if you are running out of work on you account. She is VERY nice and more than willing to help out. She will put you on a new account, or give you a backup in a heartbeat. She has done it for me and many other people.
I have tons of work...
nm
Same here. TONS of work. Never run out
They are always asking for extra help, and I'm always glad to give it! I have never even ever come close to running out of work the year I have been there.
Let's see there are tons of job listings right here.
there's mtjobs.com
I can't do it for you; you need to do your own work and research and applying and testing.
Since you have a lot of time on your hands, why not give some of these other companies a chance.
No, instead, you'd rather moan and groan and blame others for your family not eating.
Sometimes we need to be accountable for own actions.
If it's a pity party you want! You've got it from these other posters! Is anyone here participating in the pity party going to give you what you want other than pity? Probably not, but I guess that makes you feel better to know others are out of work. Well misery loves company.
If you don't like your situation, search, search, and search. You have no work, so you've got plenty of time to search.
Tons of jobs?
Alas, no. You are about ten years too late, I fear.
We have tons of work!
The account that I am lead on has tons of work. I personally don't use the insurance since I have it through my husband's job, but we did recently get a new policy that I heard was great.
If you want tons of work at MDI
ask for a Lanier account. There is always a ton of work and I have never run out. Plus of which, I love the account!
Still around and tons of work
I have been with Meridian for 4-1/2 years. I haven't had a slow period or run out of work in the last year and a half. Love it there. contact me if you want more info.
You are right. I have tons of work..and no VR
nm
Low no work? There are tons of ads
Tons of info about them in the archives.
They ran an ad a few weeks ago and supposedly got 500 resumes. It seems they are constantly hiring, don't know if new accounts or turnover. Some people seem very loyal and love it, lots of others have had problems.
Silly - they'd rather whine - we have tons.

If you like typing tons of demographics...
Then Amphion is for you!!! Yes, their platform is horrible. Too much searching for doctors, account numbers, etc. Not enough work on one account so you have to learn up to 6 (which I did). All 6 will have vastly different rules/regs and you better know the difference because they hit you on QA. Sometimes in a week mandatory overtime and 2 days later no work. You will be asked to flex your time, meaning stuck to the computer to make up the time to get your line count.
I do have to say, the people are great. Also, they do not offshore!! And, like the person above stated, their pay is more because of all the extra DI screen info you have to put in. Wasn't worth my time and moved on to somewhere better.
TONS of stuff in the archives.
Love it there.

Check archives. Tons there.
