I also vote for Webmedx - used to work for the Q, left long ago sm
Have not worked for Transcend or SoftScript so can't judge. I agree with the above poster; pay good, shift diff, PTO, decent bennies. Lots of work. Keep in mind there are two parts of Webmedx - the one on Enterprise platform and ChartMatrix; the ChartMatrix side seems to have more negative reviews.
Webmedx - how long til 150 lph?
Any Webmedx employees care to share how long it's taken to get to the 150 lph? Are you actually able to type 8 hours a day straight typing? That's a lot considering in other jobs you'd not be clocking out to go to go look at samples, use the restroom or stop to rest your wrists. Yet it looks like to keep a good LPH you've got to clock out for anything that's not straight typing. And then to keep the benefits at 35+ hours a week, you've got to be clocked in. Sort of a catch-22. :(
Newbie here and a bit discouraged. Please share. Does it get better? I'm hoping once my normals are built up for some of these ESLs things will look up. Thanks.
How long does it usually take Webmedx
to get back to you after completing their tests and questionnaire?
Has anyone applied to Webmedx, and if so, how long SM
did it take to hear back? tia
As long as Webmedx pays well for VR
accounts, I won't mind, but if they do like Transcend, I will have a real problem. I can't afford to make half the line rate I make transcribing doing VR. We'll see and hope for the best.

I passed the initial screening and test about a week ago, and the next day was sent an email interview that I sent in the next day. Is it time to give up hope, and take the wait as a rejection. 
Webmedx hiring process - how long?
Once you know you've passed, any idea how long it takes them to get back with you with an offer?
thanks :)
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)
Just sent it off Friday, so I guess it could take a couple of days. I am just ready to make the leap and I think I am leaning towards this company. They sound pretty good from their ad and I see few/if any negative posts about them.
Just curious how long the whole process will take from application to testing to potential hiring and beginning work. Any input?
How long does it take Webmedx to respond to an on line app? (sm)
Sent in the initial application, got an immediate E-mail with some different questions on it which I submitted 2 days ago.
Really want to work for this company part time for now, possibly full time later.
Any info appreciated.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines?
How long ago did you work there?
How long do you have to get your work done as an IC? sm
Do you set your own schedule or have certain times they want you to work? I worked as an IC before and they made me work a 10 hour window every monday through friday. How is Medware?
And just how long ago did you work for them?
I have been there a year and the QA staff is great. No calls in the middle of the night for stats. This is a good company and they have constantly gotten better since I started and they weren't bad then!
How long ago did you work there?
Just curious as they are hiring I think.
How long ago did you work
For Transcend? They no longer have a production team. The team leaders and regional managers are transcriptionists. QA is done by transcriptionists. Also, even though your account may be on VR, that does not mean you will editing all reports. It all depends on which doctors are on editing. There is still a lot of typing on VR accounts.
How long ago did you work for them?
Maybe it is better now. Could you elaborate further, please.
And how long have you been without work? Do you do VR? - nm

How long ago did you work there?
What other company names are associated with this company?
How long did you work there? sm
It took me a good week, week and a half to be comfortable with my account. My SIL also works for KS, and she did not like the account she was on and told them, and they moved her to another account, which she loves. She followed me there and they took great care to find her an account that was better for her. My neighbor, on the other hand, did not last. They let her go after a week for quality. I felt horrible as I was the one who got her into transcription many years ago and she is angry with me because they let her go.
how long ago did you work sm
there? Is it recently or in the distant past?
Thanks
I work here, but not for long...
All I can say is people are very unhappy and leaving left and right. They switched us all over the Turbo Speech program and we aren't nearly as productive as we were in EXText. Also, they do send some of their work to India and our supervisors are nonresponsive. You feel ignored. The benefits are good (lots of PTO, like 2 weeks plus sick, but paid at a base rate of just over $9/hour, paid holidays, 401k matching, and decent insurance) and we seem to have plenty of work now, but I'm leaving. I prefer text and responsive management. As far as lines go, it's VR now and you are lucky to get 300/hour.
Good luck!
Just how long have you been out of work?
We all know that with this industry the work is feast or famine. Have you had times of feast, too, with Transcend? Has it just been the summer months that have been bad for you with your accounts? Or, has work just been dwindling down now for many months in a row on every single one of your accounts?
Do you do a variety of work types? Do you do VR and straight transcription.
Please understand that I am not trying to be a jerk. I am an MDI-er and I really, really want to know what to expect. I remember last summer at MDI I nearly had no work and I was infuriated. Then, along around September or so, it started to pick up again. Go figure. Thanks in advance to your reply
How long did you guys below work there?

I work for 2 nationals, and I think as long as you are an IC sm
no one really has a right to tell you that you cannot work for as many people as you want. However, as someone pointed out, most companies nowadays have you sign a contract with a no-solicitation clause, stating that you cannot solicit work from any of the accounts you have worked on for them for 1-2 years.
Still, I do not broadcast to either company that I am working for someone else. I simply let each company know the days I am available to work for them.
Hope this helps. Try not to let the nasty/negative posts get to you. There are always those in every group who take more joy from tearing someone down than listening and possibly lending a helping hand. Fortunately, they are NOT in the majority.
Good luck!
Okay - I probably didn't work long enough to get used to it. nm

It has been little or no work for a long time now.
And the only thing I can get are those editing jobs that don't even come close to reimbursing you for the time spent trying to clean up the mess. I think making money at Transcend is a thing of the past. This company is definitely on my list of things to get rid when I do my summer housecleaning.
I would work also for as long as I could stand it...nm

How long ago did you work for Focus?
Why would a company keep wasting their time posting ads if their intention is not to hire the people who apply?
I work there now and have every other MT who works on the account that I work on - listed on my IM. There is not a single Indian name.
I have an American team lead and they will soon replace any remaining Indian TLs with American TLs.
Obviously, a lot has changed since you worked there.
As long as anyone's work schedule is
approved by their supervisor, that is between them and their supervisor, not anyone else's business.
Thank you for replying...how long did you work for them?
Let me get this right...if you had typed the report, but it went to QA with a blank, then you didn't get paid for the entire report that you typed? Is this the norm at most companies? Doesn't seem fair to me.
This is very interesting. I work in QA for Webmedx. There is NO WORK
Why would they be testing for additional editors when there isn't enough work for those of us who work there now!
I've been smelling something fishy here for a long time now, this just confirms that something is going on that they are not being honest about.
As long as you have work and are not running out, why worry? sm
I know exactly what company you are referring to and they HAD to do it to be able to keep within TAT. There were not enough MTs and not enough QUALIFIED MTs applying. I have not heard of many people being out of work. Are you running out? I was also disappointed, but I have to pay my bills and the rest of the companies out there are far worse than ours. Trying to find a company that doesn't offshore and pays well and has decent dictators is extremely, extremely difficult. Hang in there!!
Any long-time QTers here? Do they have enough work to go around? Thx. nm

I work for KS and not in Meditech. I do not need long distance either. sm
I think it depends on the account. I have never been this happy anywhere until Keystrokes.
Agree! Been around a long time, and the work I see SM
coming in from overseas (in general,any foreign country)needs extensive editing. The medical terminology is not so much the issue, but rather the poor grasp of our language. The reports produced from my experience are quite an embarrassment to those in this profession who have worked very hard over the years. I can decipher a report typed by an ILP vs. an American MT the second I look at it. I have quit editing and refuse to edit reports typed by overseas MTs in the future. I decided that I will not be an enabler to fix the mess that comes in so a company can come out smelling like a rose. Give the work to those of us who have the years of experience and education in MT at a fair wage, and in the long run it will be cheaper, with little to no editing would be necessary. Hello? It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. I know, it never will be like the good old days, but we can only hope that some form of restriction will be implemented to keep companies from outsourcing our citizens' personal medical information overseas. We can only hope!
I DO keep track, and work long hours, but only
If I say I can't do the minimum line count in 8 hours, they say I'm too slow. But if I eliminate quality (by not proofing or not correcting grammar, and just typing verbatim) then I hear about that, too. They just say to work harder, work faster.
The MTSO's only care about their precious TAT and volume. What we have to do to ourselves in order to accomplish THEIR goals is of no importance to them.
The only way it ever will be is if someday they happen to get put under a microscope like other fraudulent US businesses have, lately.
What I wouldn't give to see the fat-cats at AHDI up in front of Congress trying to explain themselves some fine day. Could happen.
Meant to say, I would not work for that company. A long day and still going!!

This is a gambit that won't work over the long term
I don't know many experienced MTs who are signing on for this VR for less pay. Before anybody chimes in who has a unique situation and loves it, save it. I've heard it before. But if you look at the job board, you will see that there are some MTSOs who use no VR as a sales pitch to attract good MTs. I also know of my local hospital where the MTs there are being forced achieve a minimum amount of minutes on VR or their pay gets docked. This stems from the bogus sales pitch that the dishonest vendors fed the management. That you can do VR faster so you can pay less. The MTs aren't happy and are looking for work elsewhere.
I DON'T work for WebMedX. My cpl
is not part of an incentive plan, 10 cpl is my normal pay, 12 cpl for weekends.
Anyone work for Webmedx?
I would like some recent input on this company. Thanks.
I also work for Webmedx sm
and the platform is slow. I am tired of them telling me it is my ISP. I don't believe that. My lines are falling as well. Don't know what to tell you, but I am in the very same boat you are. Good luck. By the way I have been at Webmedx nearly 4 years.
I work at Webmedx. nm

For those that work for Webmedx how did the
computer ship? I am supposed to start training next week and don't have the computer yet. Just wondering if it ships via FedEx, UPS, or some other method. I'll call Monday to double check on it.
No Work At Webmedx!
Don't waste your time.
I work at Webmedx (sm)
I work at Webmedx and really like it. The platform is very easy to use. When you are first hired you get a week of training to get used to the platform, account specifics, etc., before you are placed on production pay. The company provides many tools to help you be productive (normals stored in the platform, productivity classes, the ability to search past reports, dictation samples provided, etc.). I was hired right out of school so I know that I started on the bottom of the pay scale. They do offer an incentive program based on total lines per week and pay shift differentials for evenings and weekends. You get a flexible 12-hour window, and the benefits are pretty good compared to what other MTSOs are offering. They are really looking for MTs right now so you would not be sitting around and waiting for them to call you back like the other poster mentioned. I was called back right away after my interview. If you have any other specific questions, feel free to e-mail me.

WebMedX- NO WORK?
Anyone else hired for WebMedx recently only to find absolutely NO WORK available?
WebMedx, for those who run out of work . . .
What shifts are you running out of work on? What work types are running out?
No work at Webmedx
Do not waste your time applying, there is no work. They overhire. I have to struggle to get my hours in.....Too bad cause they are all so darn nice.
Currently, no work at Webmedx. FYI
;(
I work at Webmedx
There was a short period of time where work was very low while a new account was getting ready to go live and work was being scattered to new MTs (the norm), but now that we have gone live, I never run out of work. I have a primary, secondary, and tertiary account (rarely ever see my tertiary).
I am very happy here and cannot say anything bad about this company. When work is low during the day hours, you just have to accommodate and work a couple hours in the evening or maybe a few hours on your day off at the end of the week, which doesn't bother me. At least the work is there. :)
Webmedx has ONLY domestic MTs. There is no offshoring.
