I am not her spokesperson just happy with the company I work for and upset that people can be so sm

misleading because the fit was not good for them. 

If you have been on these boards a while, you would know that she always posts her name.  I emailed her today to tell her what was happening on here, and the response I got back was she does not even look on here as it is too upsetting and has promised herself not to come and look.  She has too much else to do with her time and defending herself and her company is always misinterpreted.  She basically told me I should spend more time working or with my family than spending time on this soap opera.

sorry about type, but very, very upset with the TT has lost any concern/care for their MT's who make their paychecks for them.  Dictatphone doesn't pay you your salary, nor pay for your raises.  Your MT's allow your paychecks the remain the same and allow you to give yourselves RAISES.

Leads/sups, etc are transcribing OUR WORK now and we have none to little no paychecks to pay our bills.

You who are thinking of hiring on with TT better give some very consideration to your decision.  GOOD ADVICE.

I actually know a couple of the people who regularly post positively on this board about Transcend. I email with them quite regularly. They aren't management. There's one theory down the drain.

And, no, I'm not management trying to create a story, either, although you probably suspect that I am.

Try to accept that people can be happy and supportive of their employer. It's better to be part of the solution than part of the problem.

Hello, I am an IC MT that is very happy with the company i am contracted with. This post is to serve 3 purposes. 1) to try to help out a few good MTs looking for a good company, and 2) to help out the company as it is need of some good, qualified and dedicated MTs, and 3) (in all honestly) to make a little referral $$$!  

Their clientelle and workload is increasing and finding good MTs is a hard process. They are not an IC that offers 6 cents and wants perfect MTs...They pay decent, given the trend of this industy... typically 7-9 cents, i believe. They really take care of their good MTs by verbal praise and $$$$.

I am on an all ortho account that could really use a few good ortho MTs that know their terminology and focus on quality. About 80% of the dictators are great, the 20% are not terrible  --there are many other accounts available besides ortho as well.. but it will take applying and talking with the recruiter to find out what is all available at the time because positions fill up fast and new positions become available at times.

Their platform is pretty simple while allowing some great features. You type in Microsoft Word 2003 or higher. Use Expresscribe (which is free) for audio. Need BOS 3rd edition and probably a good spellchecker.  Need your own computer and software. Pay is always on time and accurate. Incentive after 1000 lines a day. Holiday pay. Strictly IC status as of now.

This is mainly clinic work. full time requires 1000 lines per day, Monday-Friday. Some part-time 500 lines per day positions are available. With most accounts, Friday's work is due on Monday. 20 hour TAT. Flexibility on a day-to-day basis. You get assigned providers, or a smaller assigned pool.

Training is fairly quick, and depending on your learning abilities, the process of learning the templates and creating your own shortcuts can make you productive fairly quickly.

Well, I answered most of the questions... however, if you have more (of course which company is it?), please email me and I will give you the link to the company if you provide me your name for a referral.

I am not a recruiter, just a happy MT looking to help out some fellow MTs, help out the company I am loyal to, and make a little referral $.

I started in October 2006, and after 30+ years as an MT, I hope I have found my home.  The work seems plentiful (I have only had to go to my secondary account a few times) and the people in management seem to genuinely care about you and want to help.  The incentive tier is easy to achieve, and the benefits are pretty good, I think.  

Regardless of what you choose, good luck!  

Now why would I be upset?  I work for a great company and make great money.  It is a little annoying for people to say these things don't exist when they do!!! 

As far as posting my company's name, I am not at liberty to do so after I posted my line rate.  This is a very confidential topic at the company I work for.  I will say that they have been talked about frequently on this board as a great company to work for.  I don't believe they are currently hiring at this time.

Not that we are just switching to VR from straight typing. They are switching our VR to new software (that they claim to be more productive) and decreasing our line rate with the switch. We are currently paid a decrease of 30% of our transcription rate for VR but will be paid a 37.5% decrease when the switch to the new software takes place (this is about 1.2 cpl less for me). Unless the new software is really that much better right off the bat, that is a significant pay cut for us. If I can only do the same number of lines on the new VR software that I do now on our current software, I will lose a little more than $3 an hour for editing. I would have to be able to do about an extra 100 lines per hour on the new software to make the same amount of money that I am currently making. The problem is that there really is no proof that the new software will lead to significant enough productivity gains to justify dropping our line rate. I'll believe it when I see it. The idea of working harder to make (hopefully) the same, or maybe even less, money does not sit well with many....
