I am so hoping that TransTech has not begun to offshore. I do know that they were outsourcing

some work some time ago to another MTSO. There has ALWAYS been work during the evening hours and early, early a.m. hours, but NONE to be found anymore. Good time for the foreigners to be working 
I hope and pray that TT has not started offshoring our work. The work has definitelyl disappeared somewhere. I don't believe that even with VR our work would disappear so FAST and STAY GONE SO LONG. This LOW and NO WORK has been going on for the past year and more -- before TT began VR. It has been a struggle to get lines/hours in for a LONG TIME at TT.
Or maybe Dictaphone took away some of the work on the Dictaphone accounts and shared it with another MTSO.

Offshore outsourcing
Go to Spheris's website where they brag about their India connection.
SOLUTION TO OFFSHORE OUTSOURCING
Since offshore outsourcing couldn't be stop why don't we just outsource the dictations coming from these freaking speaking doctors. We need to screen the accounts and all those accounts with difficult doctors to understand, we outsource them. I think we will be more productive, the only problem I can see is that most of the doctors here in America freaking dictators.
Sorry, late here, outsourcing instead of offshore, same thing though. NM

If anyone has definitive proof that OSI is outsourcing offshore, please email the Administrator
and I would be most interested as the owners of OSi say differently. My email address is admin@mtstars.com. Your responses will be held in complete confidence. Thank you.
TransTech, Outsourcing?
Is all work based in the US, or do they have other countries transcribing also?
TransTech has lost work somehow, somewhere . . . or outsourcing/offshoring it !
How could Transtech mgmt be so noncaring of their MT's who provide their paychecks for them??? Yet, they care NOT of the MT's get a paycheck or NOT.
Soon to be gone from TT. Not what it was cracked up to be from the beginning.

Mgmt and those leads/sups who are STEALING our work should add money to the piecework MT's paychecks every pay period that we make less. Oh, boy, you are really good mgmt at TT !!!
The sweet talk from most of your mgmt-type people wore out VERY QUICKLY. What is left from TT for the MT's -- NOTHING but low and no work.
Mgmt, SHARE YOUR PAYCHECKS/GAINS/BONUSES with us lowly *per your opinion of us in reality* MT's who type our fingers off so that you can GET ALL THAT MONEY for YOURSELVES !
Chartscript- Just starting a job using this platform. I havent begun training yet but in looking at
the manual, it looks complicated or that you have to open up a lot of thing, I-player or something, a VPN, then the platform etc. Tell me it will be easy to learn and your able to whip through reports. I got spoiled on Escription where you just load the platform and go and then hit on button to upload. No VPN to sign into and load, no player. Just one thing. I think I'm getting to old and set in my ways to learn new systems. It seems like a hassle, so if there are any Chartscripters out there who can give me some positives, I'm all ears. I tried one other job that was the same thing and even got worse when I had to open up a ton of screens just to get demographics etc..and that was before I could even type the thing. I just cant see how that would be productive. You have 10 minutes into it before you even type the job LOL.
TransTech does not offshore

TransTech does not offshore either

Transtech does not offshore & does

Well Transtech does not offshore anyway
:)
Transtech? Cannot find website. Are they offshore?
The only thing I find for Transtech is an Indian company. Is the Transtech in Houston a US front for this Indian company?
offshore overseas.... not outsource .... correct term is offshore.

This seems to be pro-offshore board. Messages against offshore often just disappear.

That's too bad..I was hoping you were.
To equate a business not hiring remote employees from a particular state with not hiring a particular race of people is ridiculous. You do know there are laws regarding interstate business, right? Do you think they view Californians as a race and they just don't like you so they won't hire you? You would get nowhere with a lawsuit.
They were hoping you would not
:)
I keep hoping...
I have put alot of personal investment into my primary acct. Perhaps others can just pick up a new account and go with it. I am not that way. It takes me anywhere from 3-4 months to really get to know the docs especially when they come up so infrequently that only over a long period of time can you pick them up.
But right now, I am forced to deal with multiple new accounts. Like everyone else who is there, you never overcome your learning curve to maximize production and QUALITY!
But from the few things My supervisor has said, I think it is going to get worse before it gets better. The turn around times for all reports have become so real time that I will never see any pooling of my primary.
Example: This afternoon my supervisor wanted extra people to work tonight because some reports were going to be out of turn around (I mean how can they when there less than 24 hours old?)and the number of reports in my account was 15.
That is what I am hoping.
2 years ago. I am fixing to call and hopefully things will go well. If he asks, I won't lie.
I'm hoping 3.8 will be last. I'm looking at this as
xx
I was hoping
someone would say that, since people have recently posted that we (MTs) are always being negative, but if you are stressed about how you are going to pay your bills then.....also one of them suggesting we find another job.....believe me I am trying to finish school, but it's kind of hard, because some semester I can't get the money to pay for school because you never know how the work is going to flow.........
sorry for being so,negative lol I mean realistic.....
I was hoping for that. TY!

Yep, it's bad. Am hoping it will ...
not last, but I can't take much more. As it is, I am living paycheck to paycheck. I couldn't even get enough work on Saturday, which is my regular day since I work Tue-Sat. I too have mult. accounts. Am looking at getting a part-time job too.
Do you think that they just overhired? Or is it everyone is feeling the crunch and upped their commitment?
That's what I was hoping to do also sm
Get up early Saturday morning, knock out my lines, and get on with my weekend 
I am hoping for better...
Just because another company's speech platform stunk doesn't mean they all do. I am going to try to think positive. I know that won't pay the bills, but I myself cannot go into it dreading the worst or I will get really depressed, and what good is that going to do?
Thanks - I was hoping there was a quicker way
than doing them each individually. Very interested to see the difference. Probably much better at this (as far as line count/day) than I thought, huh?
Hoping someone out there has any info on SPI
Any info would be great. Do they pay on time? How are the supers? etc. etc.....
Thanks a bunch! 
Thank you LTMT!! I was hoping...
to hear good things! I am training on Thursday and I am really hoping this will be my permanent home. Thank you for giving your opinion, it is much appreciated!! Cute doggie!! Have a great day!
I am miserable there and hoping
to get out. I have never made such a low LPH. I was not aware that not being paid for spaces would hurt my production so much, but it has made a big difference. I do like their platform and it was easy to learn, but I still have bills to pay. I used to make 200 to 300 LPH with other companies, make 150 or so with this company. Also they have a program where you can look up previous reports on the same patient or examples of report types or by the same doc, but it always, freezes or goes so slow and I am stuck in my screen. I have heard from some others having this problem. It really slows me down. I am leaving as soon as I can.
OUTSTANDING - and *this* is what I was hoping for
Many people misread my tone and in all fairness tone is hard to read in an email or online.
What my main objective was in posting originally was this: do people just want to complain (justifiably) or do they want to *try* to do something about it *before it's too late*?? Assuming it isn't already too late...
I've had a few private emails and many on the board. Unfortunately, until next week I can't personally do much, but after that I'm more than happy to help an effort get started/organized.
Watch for a website which I'll start specifically for this purpose.
I have *no* idea if a union is possible or a step forward, but as long as we allow our considerable skills to be whittled down to minimum wage level, trust me, corporations will certainly try to go in that direction.
No, corporations aren't evil, per se, and they deserve to make a profit. that said, there's a difference between a profit and a killing.
Later - and HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
I'm hoping I'm wrong, but...
I thought I saw somewhere on TV that by 2009, phones were supposed to be digital? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I need to ask my boss about this to.
thank you - I'm hoping by summer to
nix the Q alltogether, unless by some miracle things get better. I think my biggest peave with the Q is that stupid time clock. I never wanted FT or benefits, so I don't see why PT with no benefits has to punch a clock. Give me IC any day!
The new company I'm going to only requires me to meet my daily quota on the days I say I'm going to work. If I need off, I just let them know I won't be working that day. No more holidays, no more cesspool and no more TIME CLOCK!
I hope things go well for you at KS. I've heard a lot of wonderful things about them on this board, especially if you want FT and benefits. Good Luck! 
was hoping you could give me some
but i understand
I was hoping for that answer..sm
They already have my paperwork so I'm hoping things will move quickly if I asked to be put on the other account. TNX again!
Thanks SO much. I was hoping I could hear from SM
someone who works there. I have an email friend who referred me, but I really wanted someone else's opinion. I like everything I have heard and will probably accept the position once I have another interview. Well, I have to have employee/spouse insurance and I don't much like the cost -- but it's that way everywhere anymore. Anyway, thanks for responding.
I am hoping they figure it out too.
I am having a really hard time thinking that TT would so quickly turn their backs on their MTs. I just hope they soon figure out that paying 50% for VR is ridiculous. They should be able to tell by the paychecks people are now getting. Will they care, probably not, but one can hope. I don't know what platform you are on, but I hope the one I am on is not supposed to be the better one, not that it is horrible, but can't imagine how it could be worse on another platform, it definitely wouldn't be worth it.
I was hoping you would. Contrary to SM
what some people think, everyone participating on this board does not wish ill will toward a fellow MT. For what it's worth, I think you are making the right decision and you are correct - if there's no work at all, it doesn't really matter what they are paying. It all amounts to a big goose egg.
I doubt very much anything wonderful will happen with TT - it will just get worse and at least you'll be ahead of the game.
She's hoping to come back to a
In a perfect world, we'll all just find new jobs while she's gone. If enough people quit, there might actually be an opening or 2, thus justifying all this continuous recruiting.
Yeah, I feel like she left us twisting in the wind. Is it REALLY a virtue to never lie to us by refusing to tell us anything at all? No WAY does she not know what's going on. The majority of the team may have had faith in her before she left - lets see how they feel by the time she comes back!
Hoping it comes thru for you! Good luck! nm

thanks....i was hoping for info from someone who has worked for them...
Of course there will be nothing but positive information listed by the company themself.
Thanks for the info though.
I was hoping they weren't liars. sm
What a concept eh to think companies actually tell the truth once in a while. I was hoping they would make good on their promise. I have spent a lot of time making templates and such and did not want to start all over again. OK, I get it now. I told them I would not do anymore work until they sorted this out but I am looking elsewhere. Thanks for the input.
I am hoping to start a new career with a new
company this year. Working on the resume now! I am so tired and burned out with my present employer and so unhappy doing QA. I want to transcribe again, or QA with a more professional company. Not too much to ask for, right?  But change is hard. I hope I don't wimp out.
You were hoping to build up experience
on the medical aspect of all of this? May I ask where you got your MT education? I am only asking respectfully and wondering why they are not helping you more. I find it curious that you are going to bow down at this point. Why give up?
I was hoping to work with them on the weekends. I
tested the other day and went onto the second part and hoped to hear. But have not heard a word. Kind of disappointed. Have heard really nice things about this company and they said I'd hear Monday. Guess I did not do as well as I had expected on the typing test. Good luck if you try and get it.
I was hoping some would answer - RI Transcription
I posted a question about RI Transcription a few days ago, and I didn't get any replies. I was also thinking of testing for them. Let me know how the interview goes.

I am hoping for Friday but it could be Monday. sm
The pay period just ended yesterday. With over 400 employees it might be difficult to get it all done by Friday but I sure am crossing my fingers!
Hoping that doesn't happen
for awhile! Their largest account is one of those in which the clinic does not want work going overseas so I'm hoping to be able to stay for a little bit longer because it sounds horrible at some of these other companies. I do VR and can get 2500 lines in an 8 hour day and it doesn't seem like from reading on here that most are doing so.
I'm with you and hoping this is not gonna be the next trend...
I'm a confirmed second shifter for many years and for many reasons and recently started at a different company, doing Sun-Thurs evenings. Long story short, have been there 2 months and frequently run out of work on my Sunday night, and I'm infuriated (and maybe naive, have rarely in 30-odd years run out of work and especially not the first day of my week). Of course that means I have to make the work up, so I do that on my Friday off, though I take care to do it after 3:30. Needless to say, I deeply resent working on my day off. Like you, I say this is sacred and my wrists need it, and I'm a good employee. I'm biding my time to see how this all pans out; I may see if I can negotiate something different if possible. I was one of five new people hired on this account, (hopefully not an overhire, things are fine other than this). Anyway, NO, it just ain't right to in effect force us to compete for jobs in this way.
Didn't your outside job with the big bucks work out? We were hoping for ya..nm
