Hope this helps
When doing a search on google, it said there were omitted links due to duplicates, but I clicked to show them anyway and that's when I found the link for their ad on MTStars.

19% first quarter 2009
I found this clipping interesting; see link for more.
**********
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2009 was $5,343,000, an increase of $1,189,000 or 29%, over first quarter 2008 gross profit of $4,154,000. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 36% in the first quarter of 2009 from 35% in the first quarter of 2008. This was down one point compared to the three most recent quarters due to the impact of the DeVenture acquisition on the company's gross profit margins. Approximately 62% of the Company's total revenue was processed on our BeyondTXT platform in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 64% in the first quarter of 2008. Most of this reduction relates to the addition of DeVenture in 2009. Approximately 53% of our BeyondTXT volume was edited using speech recognition technology in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 38% in the first quarter of 2008. The Company's goal is to increase this percentage to at least 60% over the next twelve months. The percentage of the Company's total volume processed offshore was 19% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 16% in the first quarter of 2008.
Whenever we acquire a company, our top priority will always be to keep all of the customers, stated Sue McGrogan, Chief Operating Officer. It is typical to see lower gross profit margins initially from companies we acquire. As we integrate the newly acquired business, we have three primary strategies to help improve the gross profit margins of acquired businesses: migrating as much of the business as possible from older platforms to BeyondTXT to take advantage of the increased productivity inherent in our speech-recognition enabled platform, considering the use of offshore resources, especially for night and weekend coverage, and implementing our operating model to streamline the operation. These three strategies are really no different than what we do every day in our existing business. I want to thank our employees, including our new team from DeVenture, for the hard work necessary to integrate DeVenture quickly and the extra effort made to reach out to DeVenture's customers and employees to begin forming strong long-term relationships with Transcend. I'm also pleased with the progress we have made with the integration of TRS in April. Our customer retention remains high, with only one customer leaving Transcend in the first quarter due to a corporate decision unrelated to our service at the local customer level.
k, its digital TV signals by 2/2009...but
I still don't know what the details are
check out 02/12/2009 string
which is on about page 4 or 5 of this board right right now. Posts claiming to be from MDI MTs who say their accounts are going to VR this weekend. Post by C. Buckley not addressing the VR issue. MDI seems to be holding its cards pretty close to the vest, and if your particular account is not involved, you may not be notified until it is. Better to know ahead of time while you have time to do something about it?
Our contracts will expire at the end of 2009
at which point we will have to sign all that HIPAA confidentiality stuff and probably noncompete agreements with Transcend too. While the 2009 MDI contract says they have to pay us a certain line rate for 12 months (and this would be binding on Transcend as well) I bet what we signed says we cannot compete for at least couple of years (and this would be binding on us as it pertains to what would now be Transcend accounts.) Don't have time to hunt up and read my contract right now but I would be very surprised if the noncompete agreement expired at the end of 2009. Way to easy to walk off with accounts that way.
.07 line pay offerered by Superscript in 2009
I would have liked to have had some part-time work, but the pay offered, with my 13 years' experience and passing their test, was 7 cents per line; way too low. I counteroffered asking for a higher rate, and she said she was unable to agree. So, I told her I could not accept .07 cents or .075 cents per line. That is my experience.

June
Thank you for a very worthwhile post. Just a word of unasked-for advice to all MTs from one who has been kicked around the block a time or two: Keep a file and a log. On my log, I write the time I log on and the time I log off and the number of hours I worked that day. In the file I print out memoranda such as the one cited above. If I ever have to go to the Labor Board, Wage and Hour Commission, or my private attorney, I will have a blazing .357 magnum in terms of the file. It is a shame that we have to take such proactive measures, but as they say in the Marine Corps, CYA. Good luck to you and don't take any guff from these people. They need you as much as you need them. Too many MTs are wishy-washy and think they have to take any kind of nonsense doled out to them. They don't. The labor laws do indeed apply to at-home workers.
I believe it i was effective June 1st.

New accounts come on in June and Jan, so they

Huh? It's scheduled for June 2. nm

I leflt in June. sm
One of the accounts just dumped us. It got slow all of a sudden and I was told that it would pick up. Then I found out there was plenty of work. Then all of a sudden on a Saturday we get an e-mail that said immediately we could not do the account anymore. They offered a couple different accounts but they were really bad and I wouldn't take them. Horrible platforms, money etc. My problem with KS and most of these companies is they string you along and lie to you. It wouldn't bother me so much if they would just come clean wtih you when you ask a question.
My membership is up beginning of June.

Interesting Discussion on June 21 -- Did you see that?
Did you go to about the middle of page 4 -- thread started June 21, 2006. Begins with:
Anyone turned down offers at Amphion, Axolotl or Webmedx - would like honest opinions
She's in Connecticut and she had an ad on MTJobs at the end of June. nm

They had an ad here in early June 2006. Did anyone start with them? nm

It is finally in place June 1st. It is reasonable and sm
really good. My sister has had it for yours and says Guardian is better than BCBS.
Good luck June I hope to be out
of there soon also. There's no way you can make a living there with this company. Good luck.
Any info on the go live starting June 1 at WMX?

Quit MQ in June - still in shock with new job. Plenty of work, OT available. (sm)
I just can't tell you how fortunate I feel. The bonus program is good and understandable, you don't have to be a math genius to figure it out. I have 2 accounts, great supervisor, pleasant office staff. For those of you still unhappy with your current jobs, keep the faith, there are good companies out there. Good luck on your search.
Did you notice on our community page new hires May/June - I think there were 19 or 20 of them. (sm)
Nothing against the new hires, but from our point of view it stinks to hire new people while many of us are/were scrapping for work.
I did notice they haven't posted any new hires like they did for May and June. nm

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,
jgl
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

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.

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:
