Lists and lists and lists of offshore MT companies and
some from here on that emply the offshore MTs. Not to mention all the wonderful things AAMT is doing over there.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

Some company lists have been around a long time, so lots of places

check company page
Mary/writer has written a post to the company board stating that she had filled the position. She thanked people for their posts. I think she was taken aback by one very mean email she received. I am surprised she didn't get far more. Of course $25 for three hours of work is ridiculously low, but I bet she could have been treated much more nicely. Some of the people who post on here are so unkind. I don't think they would be happy anywhere with any amount of money. How disheartening.
here is the link to company info page
http://www.synthescribe.com/company.html
No info about the company, but there is an ad on the second page of Job Seeker's board. nm

I found it, bottom page 2 Company board

At the top of the company board page, do a google search for MTStars.
Start reading. This is an Indian based company. There were recent posts over the past few days about this company.
I used Apex with another company and it was awful. I'd do a full page of transcription and it'
out to be like 30 lines. There is no way. I quit after 2 days. I felt like the reports were easy but I was not working all day for $6 an hour.
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
Some comments on page 2 of this board, middle of the page. nm

Also doctor lists
They can be a nightmare
Black Lists?
No, I don't believe there is such a thing. Then, do companies talk to each other about former employees? Yes, sometimes that happens. It's simply the course of doing business. It's called a network and often called checking your references.
As for recruiters not knowing each other, at any given AAMT meeting there will be 5 to 20 companies exhibiting, each with their recruiter there. Of course they get to know each other. It is, again, about networking.
I am curious, though. If MTs can create a blacklist for companies, what would be wrong with employers doing it??
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
It looks like 2 different lists, 2 different schedules.
Schedule 3.13(a) hereto contains a complete and accurate list of all employees (including statutory employees) of the Company who for the year ending March 31, 2009 were paid annual aggregate compensation in excess of $35,000, showing the position, annual base salary and bonus potential for each such employee.
Purchaser shall continue the services of the employees of the Company following the Closing except for the individuals listed on Schedule 6.11 hereof who shall be terminated at or shortly following the Closing.
It appears that there are going to be some that are terminated at or following the closing. Is that tomorrow or January 1, 2010?
Do they have an ad up somewhere? Many places on old lists aren't around any more. nm

Portability of expander lists
When you switch platforms, it raises the question about portability. You don't want to lose the work you put into making your list(s).
One solution is using Instant Text. The glossaries that come with IT, the ones you create with IT, and the lists you import to IT from other Expander programs, can be used in most platforms you may type in.

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

I have heard of managers etc who have taken lists of employees
for their company when they left and contacted them announcing that they were with the new company and telling them to write them if they were interested in positions.
It definitely IS unethical but yes it does happen.
Someone who values their name in this industry would not do this. People do not want to work for someone who resorts to underhanded tactics. Too many people do this. Those who care about the business practices of any company or manager would not condone this. Just ask yourself this question, if they would do that, would they hesitate to give out personal information of the MTs who they have done this to? I personally think if they are unethical in one area, they would be in another. I would avoid any company or person that would do this.
Is this doc lists and addresses or MT-specific stuff? nm
s
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.

Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
I don't see that on their web page

Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page
To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc. You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference. Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines, as they could both be half a page? That is just my opinion though. Could work in your favor and could not. If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.
I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

pay per page

Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....
Keystrokes is really popular right now. 
you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies. Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line? If so, could you please email me. Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.

On what page are they? If they are there, I will

Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.
I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.
It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us. I fail to see how some people can stick their head so far in the sand.
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.
P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding! What an insult!
