TransTech Employees
What platform do you use? What Expanders do you use? Can you use Shorthand? Thanks.
TransTech Employees
I recently found out that you can use Shorthand with their Dictaphone Extext program. Can you look back on old reports with their system? What exactly do you have access to? Thanks.
Any TransTech rad employees out there?
Was wondering which Meditech platform - Magic or Client - and how many jobs you're averaging per day or pay period. Just got hired and wanted to check with the real world and people who are actually working it now.
TransTech is great to its employees like that
I had the same experience working with TT. They are really great to their MTs because they make it clear there (my supervisors especially :) that the happier we are the better we do for us, the company, and the hospital and patients.
If we worry or get upset, our production goes down then we worry more and onward.
They have been around the block and are very wise I believe in treating each and every MT as important...and in return they have our loyalty and our hard work! I love working with them... and am grateful to have found such a great company and people. Glad you are not worrying anymore and congrats on relaxing!
Quick question for TransTech employees....sm
Are you required to work holidays? And if so, do you get paid extra?
Employees work a specific shift at TransTech?
Or do you just have to commit to a certain number of lines per day? An an IC with my current company, I commit to X number of lines per day, and as long as I get them done within 24 hours, I've met my commitment. Don't want shift work, i.e. 7-3, 3-11, 11-7. There is absolutely no flexibility in that. Noticed in post before this that Diskriter requires a shift commitment or a split shift.
Transtech platform?
Wondering what platform Transtech uses, also any comments on likes/dislikes. Thanks in advance.
Transtech new speech platform
Has anyone tried this out yet, and what is your opinion. Please feel free to e-mail me if you wish. Thanks!
I'd say TransTech; Transcend's platform is horrible. nm

What type of platform does TransTech utilize?
Is it hard to learn?
Is TransTech platform user friendly?
Is it difficult to get lines there?
Thanks
Transtech does have voice recognition. Horrible platform for editing.
Dictaphone Exspeech is the very worst VR platform I have ever worked on. Yes, the MT line rate is much reduced for it, too.
Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm
Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc. Otherwise, the all the 411. 
Thanks!
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
MDI-MD platform is fast, not full of problems like Transcend platform or MDI-FL
On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly - its a nightmare to work in.
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

Yes, SPi does use this platform....it's a great platform, but not worth working for SPi. nm

Bad Platform. I personally know of 3 MTs who left because of the platform.
If you are like me, the bottom line is wages and what I get in my check. I have never worked for Amphion, but I personally know of 3 MTs who worked part-time at Amphion before quitting their other service to see what Amphion had to offer before it was too late. All 3 quit Amphion and stayed with their other service because of the Amphion platform. Too hard to make any decent lines.
Something to think about.

Here is one post from a couple days back:

To all of us trying our hardest to grab our work when it is available, and then still only make 24 bucks a day because of the garbage platform.
No. TransTech is out of Texas TTS is in New Hampshire. TransTech
s
Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
which employees are getting this and how much.
I havent heard a work about any incentives.
MQ employees
Quoted: Remember employee = real benefits, not this 3 days a year PTO and insurance that is laughable. Also you must provide the equipment, the internet, and pay for downtime such as weather. A supervisor to authorize your stupid OT
PTO can be up to 18 days per year. As a FTE, I was given a week of vacation PTO and holidays. The insurance is not laughable. Compared to many companies out there, it falls right in the middle somewhere. Who pays you because it snows? (or rains, etc)? I know in our region, many MTs were affected by the hurricanes and received some compensation. And where have you worked that you do not have to have OT APPROVED??
I still think so many of you are so accustomed to be picky that the reality of "real job" is going to scare you off.
Certain new employees get PTO right away but other new
employees have to wait a YEAR? Isn't that a little unfair and discriminatory???
And since when is $12-15 an hour considered GOOD in this profession?
Is this thread real? April Fool's Day isn't for another 4-1/2 months! 
How to keep employees
Every single MT company is full of BS these days. They turn our homes into sweat shops, they cut our pay. They have no consideration for our feelings. MTs are job hopping just looking for a decent deal.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there was a company with high standards. A company who gave so much in the way of decent treatment, time off, flexibility, civilized treatment, appreciation and good pay, and I mean very good pay. Can you imagine what it would be like to have every MT in this godforsaken lousy business clamoring for a job with your company? All you have to do is be FAIR, pay decent WAGES, treat people like HUMANS instead of machines. You would never be posting a help wanted ad.
Man, I wish I could do it myself. I would have the best, brightest MTs out there becasue I would attract and draw them to my wonderful company instead of nickle and diming them to DEATH.
Why don't you want to know what former employees have to say about OSI?
I think they would serve you better on what you want to know. I worked for them for four years. The first couple of years were okay, not many problems to speak of, then it all went down hill from there. The higher-ups started to get nasty to the transcriptionists, they starting changing accounts around, loosing accounts....it really got bad. I think they have a revolving door on their main office, so many people come and go. I would do my research before I jumped the gun with OSI.
no those employees are all over here
throwing muck and personal attacks all over the place, especially at the company (ies) they left. I also know the company monitors the board which resulted in the formulation of the language of not allowing the company named to be posted.
As for not wanting a good thing to leak out, I've always been a cheerleader and am of the opinion that if I can help my employer grow by being a good employee and bringing other good employess to them, then that adds to my job security and a recognition by the company of my being loyal to them.
Maybe that's the part that has so baffled.
It is so new that most of us employees do not know anything about it yet. nm

MDI-MD....I think all their employees are SE (sm)
I got hired for Radiology not acute care...
I only mentioned that again because there were some posters last week who were running out of work at MDI-MD and were afraid they overhired but I think those were acute care MTs...
An OM did this to both employees and ICs
at a company where I worked for 4-1/2 years from home, then about 10 months in the office. I ended up leaving the company because of what I saw happening within the office. The owner was a great person, but left much of the day-to-day operations to the office manager. If someone called in and needed extra cash because they wanted to put a child in a private school, she would take work from someone else and give it to the needy person...now keep in mind that the person needing the extra cash didn't actually HAVE to work because of the husband's income and the person whose work was taken away was single and had no other source of income.
This is just one example, but it happened like this A-L-L the time I was in the office. I lost total respect for the OM and then for the owner for knowing it was happening and allowed it to continue. 
They can't keep employees...
They are rude to their employees and they go in and change your time-sheet hours if you are getting paid by the hour and cut your actual work hours in half. That was my experience with them.
They must REALLY need employees
Between yesterday and today I've had 3 phone calls and several emails, after I said no. I told the guy I'm not interested in a company that has QA in India, especially since they would be deciding whether my work was correct or not.
5 employees?
I do two of mine accounts, and I certainly do not require employees? No wonder you weren't making any money. You have to actually do the work yourself not hire people to do it. My goodness. 
employees, I mean

US employees
They said they employ approximately 30 MTs in the US.
Can anyone tell me how many employees
before I make a decision. Thank you.
Any MDI-IT employees out there? sm
How long have you worked at MD-IT? Do you run out of work?
They don't have employees there??
nm
How many employees do they have?
xx
they have about 52 employees
/
It is more than 52 employees
Axolotl is more than just a transcription company. They also have an EMR system, which is very successful as well. I know we have at least 50+ MTs, plus the EMR side at Corporate.
How many employees do they have in

New KS employees...VPN/HBO
 Has anyone figured out how to get on the internet while on VPN/HBO Star yet? I hate this ugh
Hey, I am looking for old employees...
I am looking for some folks that used to work for MTA in Atlanta before they sold to Transcend. Post a message or privately email me, please...
Just looking to talk to some old acquaintances!
old MTA employees?
Hey - could anybody tell me the name of the company in Georgia that belongs to the same person that used to own MTA years ago? I had talked to somebody before about this company, but just cannot remember the name. I would greatly appreciate any information.
why employees?
True, ICs saves companies money by not paying employer taxes, but they may HAVE to hire employees because they may want you to work a certain way, certain hours, using certain equipment, etc. which falls under the IRS classification of an employee. Many companies try to do this but don't want to hire you as an employee, which saves them money but allows them to have alot of control over your work. Check out the IRS website of classifying employees versus independent contractors for more info.
Wow. Then almost ALL MT ICs are really employees ...
I'd never read that whole thing before. I'd always known that them dictating hours and schedules made it an employee/employer relationship.
However, I was not aware of the first paragraph in particular.
Any company who dictates that you must use their software, or must follow client templates ... aren't they directing HOW you should do your work?
Crimeny.
I'll add my hat to the ring of people who just sit around saying something should be done about this.
Yes, many of them really should be employees.
If you are one of them, I would be careful. I read in an article recently that if a company gets reported and investigated and then it is found that their workers should be classified as employees, the IRS can then audit the employees prior taxes and make sure they were filing correctly. If they are indeed classified as employees yet were filing as self-employed and taking deductions, there could be consequences. So I would be nervous to work for such a company.
MD-IT - Why not PT employees?
Does anyone know why MD-IT will not even look at PT employees? I think they deserve a chanc to be looked at too. I applied for them and I got a reply back that they only want FT at this time. It is frustrating, as I need only a PT job right now with 2 small children at home.
