It could still be remote...
they would just contract with individuals versus a service, and they could have 1-2 onsite employees to facilitate.
remote MT
That is exactly how it should be.
Remote Coding
Does anyone have anything to say about the remote coding.
Are you forgetting that most MTs are remote? sm
Difficult for a company to pass out checks to someone who is hundreds of miles away.
that is exactly how it was when transcription first went remote--sm
and we made tons of money. Not any more.
You will be told that you can work remote,
And, there are a number of excuses that will be given as to the reason why. Pay is not toooooo bad. Would not go there. There are better jobs out there. Best of luck to you.
It's too easy to mistreat remote MTs.
They know they'll never have to face you up close and personal. You don't work on-site so you probably have no way of knowing what they're up to behind your back and cannot hold them accountable. The worst of them may see you as a mere tool to use or abuse to make themselves rich.
As for the nasty e-mails, some places send them to everybody from time to time as a general threat in their never-ending campaign to depress wages/line rates. Don't take them personally.
Excalibur Remote workforce
They want a fee of $55.00 I was offered a job there, too, but I wouldn't do it because of the fee.
Oh no! Remote transcriptionists put on mute! That's a whole new low to sink to!
So sorry for you, though I can relate. Ah, I'm sure their ad really fooled us all, huh? More than just a number! 
What are some easy companies for a remote transcriptionist to start with?
I have been a Transcriptionist for 5 years. Are there any easy companies out there to start with as a remote MT. I have tried to work with one company at home but the training process was very complicated and required A LOT of computer knowledge. I need to know some good companies to check out and some of the ones to stay away from.
Yes - Excalibur Remote Workforce is Legitimate although there is a small fee!
They are legitimate although they do charge a small fee which I didn't mind paying since they are legitimate.
I joined with Excalibur and I have been happily working with the company now for 5 months as a contractor on their client referral position as Medical Transcriber.
Don't let the fee discourage you - its for your background check verification and their work at home job bank registry.
Thanks & Good luck!
