see message this post is excellent a fair representation of KS..I copied it from below.
You know who I am. I'm the one who hooked up the Foley at the beginning of my shift. I'm the one who worked extra each and every time I was asked. I'm the one who went into the office to transcribe when it was needed. I'm the one who went on site to help with a new account (and this account actually wanted me to work for them!). I'm the one who transcribed tapes when asked. I'm the one who did the 3-page reports and the docs that no one else wanted when you cut our pay. And I'm the one who worked an 8-hour shift when my air conditioning broke down last summer during one of the hottest days of the year. No one just handed me that huge paycheck, I worked for it.
And now I'm the one who works on two accounts that consider my transcription excellent. As a matter of fact, one account doesn't want anyone BUT me. During my career I was told by one manager and one MTSO that they wished they had 10 of me. I also came highly recommended to you. That speaks volumes about my reliability, stability, flexibility, and quality.
You offer some flexibility. Zero tolerance would be more like it. I had to take three days off for jury duty, my electricity went out twice, and workers cut my cable line, all of which were out of my control. I took five days off in a row once in two years for a very good reason and it was not a vacation. If I had to take time off during my shift, I made up my time that same day. Unfortunately my dentist doesn't have hours on Sunday. I also worked when I was sick. Is that what you mean by not a good fit? I was an IC not an employee.
The kicker for me was when I found out that your coordinator went to the client to find out if I was skipping reports. I have never skipped a report in my entire career. I don't have to. I love what I do and I love a challenge. She also told another employee that no one can do that many specials. I could and I did until she made certain that I didn't.
This field is stressful enough. I certainly don't want to work for someone who places more stress on me, especially when I'm already giving 110%.
When it was all over, I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. It was then that I decided I would rather be appreciated than used and abused.
A couple of days
You should hear back in just a couple of days. Be ready for a long telephone interview.
They got back with me within a couple of days. nm
not just these days over the last couple years
revolving door lol
Severaldiscussions the last couple of days. If you will
scroll down you will see them. You can also open your post and click on the see related messages post and bring up lots more. Click on those links and you'll find even more.
It took TTS a couple days to call me..
But it was definitely worth the wait. Actually, If i remember correctly, they were the last response i got to my resume, but ended up being the best all around offer on the table at that time.
Someone asked that a couple of days ago....
xx
I would write them an email if it has been a couple of days.
Never hurt to try.
I did 2 tests the last couple of days, both through mttest, though
the tests were different. One test took about probably 45 minutes and that didn't include the transcription part. I started the transcription and the dictation was so horrendous - sound quality really bad, barely able to hear any of the dictation, 2 ESL docs, and 1 really fast talking U.S. doc. I do about 90% ESL, but goodness. I have nearly 20 years' experience and I have decided it just isn't worth my time to do the transcription part. I'm trying to get out of a stressful situation currently, and this didn't seem like it was going to be the answer. I know that it was only a small representation, and I feel sorry for anyone without lots of experience trying to take the test.
The second test was so easy and even with transcribing the dictation I think it only took me 45 minutes tops.
I don't know why I continue to test and look for another position, because I'm fairly comfortable with my dictators, my company leaves me alone 99% of the time, good line counting program, etc. and I turn down every position I'm offered because: 1 - no one offers me as much money (even though I'm not making gobs of money); 2 - no one offers me the flexibility that I currently have, although I don't have as much as I used to have; 3 - I've got 5 years invested in this company and I know what to expect; 4 - while QA is pretty stringent I'm 99% or better and go weeks at a time without getting anything back ....... I just need a change of pace, but at the same time I don't like change, I don't want to learn new dictators, don't want to learn a new format, don't want to learn the quirks of QA and all the other stuff that goes along with a new account/new company.
I think the last 6 months I've tested and been offered 8 positions and some companies continue to call me and none has anything better to offer me.
It's the weekend. Give them a couple of days. nm
s
It wouldn't be in the archives yet...it's only a couple of days old...
here is a link to it. I believe it is on page 3 or four of the company board.

I do my daily or every couple days after my shift. Much easier (nm)

The hiring process usually takes a couple of days,
but depending on the account it can take about 2 weeks to actually be working.
yes, and then give is a couple days for snail-mail...after that - ask again. NM
,
I gave a couple of days notice, just til September 1st...
The day the merger actually occurred. It was about 3-4 days' notice.
So give her the couple days before the kicking begins. n/m

don't worry, these kinds of heated threads always die down in a couple of days

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors
ROFL
I actually know a couple of the happy people who post...sm
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.
We post frequently for a couple of reasons. Not only are we constantly hiring for new business, but
regularly keeps your ad near the top of the list. In my experience, we get far more responses when our ad is in the first ten. Hope that helps explain it.
Ok, been reading this post for a few days...sm
who, what, where is this Bill Baker???
How would they know if you copied and pasted?
I did this for years in RadNet. I typed in Word using AutoCorrect and used a keyboard shortcut to select and cut the text, then another to paste it into RadNet.
look back a few days.. LONG post about this
Can the MQ glossary be copied over for Medware?

I copied the ad and it is inside..read it again--sm

Check out post from "Tech Support" on here a few days ago . . .
said you can do this if you create another partition to install it on, and then you have to prompt computer which system you wish to boot from when you restart it.
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.
That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.
OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.
I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.
Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
Rotten t o the core! And if you copied/pasted
then there are many more errors than you pointed out (if you did not copy/paste I am not bashing/correcting you, as I know this is just a forum, not a job, and also the anger factor plays into it)
copied from email sent to current Transcend employees.
It does, however, provide additional opportunities as
we become a larger and more meaningful company. MDI was attracted to Transcend
because Transcend is widely recognized as the best company in the industry. MDI
is also very excited about Transcend’s technology, speech recognition successes,
and broad capacity to deliver services on a large scale.
This is a company big on VR. Hope you like it.
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm
x
Would that be 5 business days or 5 regular days?
So when are we going to be paid this time around since you're so knowledgable?
Sorry, but for some of us a day or 2 actually makes a difference.
Most want 20 hours over 5 days, but it could be more, or it could be spread over 4 days. nm

Correction - TH has 5 PTO days 1st year/10 days 2nd yr

Axolotl within 30 days. Transolutions in 60 days. NM

It is true. Any job has its good days and bad days.
Perhaps you'd like to just keep your old job and try this one out. Just because a poster here is crabbing about it, or even if as in the past there have been negative posts, odds are that there are very happy people who don't even post or know that this board exists. As Alice says. Everything is relative. The fact that this company is hiring and pays may be a place which is a blessing. As opposed to digging ditches on day labor for example. Or somebody might prefer digging ditches. This is just an example. Sometimes we who are employable, even though we don't make as much as we used to in this business, or as much as we would like to, we still if working at home do not pay for gas to go to work, career clothes, deal with office politics, have to look at a boss who writes us up if we are a minute late, etcetera. I don't make half as much as I used to, but I don't send my 3 children to day care which by the way saves us money. SO I remind my husband I am worth that in addition to my salary if I had a job outside. No job is perfect. I am not even sure if Focus is any good or not, I have not worked there. But if one poster says there are good days and bad, I say that is the most honest answer you are going to get anywhere, and if you need a job badly, how is it to hurt trying it out, until you know for sure for yourself? THanks for listening. But sometimes this board gets to be a bit much with the agendas of people railing on other people like the OP here who just wanted all opinions instead of just one side. Balance is always great. And, if things seem lop-sided, then it is a good thing to seek out both sides. IMHO.
I think they would. Those are good days for 10-hour days. sm
I have a set schedule but it is Tues-Sat and it works well for me. It wouldn't hurt to ask!
90 days is correct. 3 days off 1st year, 10 during 2nd.
nm
Were the 2 days weekend days? sm
They expect everyone to work a weekend day. Their definition of team player is to actually work 6 or 7 days a week. One might consider it if the pay was there & she gave out some decent work. It is the ideal place to work if you are a workaholic with no life.
11 days is more than you would get inhouse...usually 10 days.
We have the convenience of working at home and yet you want MORE than what inhouse positions offer?
Ask if those are calendar days or biz days too nm

My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

A couple
Lee Perfect I believe and TTS. Try putting your resume up as well. I got a ton of hits off of here and another transcription job board and another job website. Not allowed to give you names of the sites though.
There are a couple of ways....
You can either use Alt+tab and that will switch you toggle you between programs or you can just keep a notebook and write down the acc#. I thought this was going to really hurt my production but after you get use to doing it, it doesn't really seem to be a big deal at all. Good luck!
It took me a couple of weeks...
had to get all those shortcuts in but once you get used to it, it is okay. I always keep track of how many reports I do and I don't look at line count until I do so many. I can get my required line count in 6 hours or less and when I first started it was a lot longer than that. So, it does get better. 
A couple questions
Do they hire part-time? Do you need a C-phone or are they internet based?
Thanks
...couple more questions if you can...
Tested for radiology, but I can do acute care. Can you tell me about the rotating weekends? How many weekends do you actually end up working over about a 3-month period? Does the software have a built-in expander?
Thanks!
I have a couple questions
Do they hire part time? The website mentions Word 2000. Does it have to be Word 2000 or will a newer version work, i.e. Word 2002?
a couple more questions
What is the minimum line count you need with them for part-time and if you need to work outside of your schedule or type earlier/later in the day, how flexible are they with that? Thanks for the info!
Just a couple questions
How is the platform?
Is rigid schedule required for full-time?
Are there production bonuses?
Thank you!
Yup. Same here. Just started a couple
of months ago with promises of good accounts, never run out of work, etc. I really regret going with them. Now looking for something else. What a disappointment! Same thing with Medware in the past. So don't look there either. These companies over-hire and offshore, and this is what happens. Ugh.
