All I know is that the Indians are partnered up with Transcend. They are sharing work with our overseas partners as the supervisors call them. What a slap in our face.

Just dont ever forget the work that goes to India and other countries. I guess they will be doing
weekends etc. I am sure MQ has this all very nicely figured out.
Can you saying..work going to India.. I knew you could. All we get is the awful stuff. Why dont they
send that garbage to the folks in India to do. They have about as much chance of being able to do it as we do.
Looks American but isnt. All MT work done in India. Hosps in IL dont know. Bound to fall.
Name the source
If it's someone we're familiar with you might have help in getting paid.
The source is:
The American Dictionary of the ENGLISH language:
Word Definition
Your search [word => 'catastrophy' ] returned 1 result.
catastrophy
CATASTROPHY, n.
1. The change or revolution which produces the final event of a dramatic piece; or the unfolding and winding up of the plot, clearing up difficulties, and closing the play. The ancients divided a play into the protasis, epitasis, catastasis, and catastrophy; the introduction, continuance, heightening, and development or conclusion.
2. A final event; conclusion; generally, an unfortunate conclusion, calamity, or disaster.

I have never heard of your 'hard' book?'
Maybe it is the 'Hard' book of the AMERICAN language. I do not trust your 'hard' book.
Shouldn't this at least be Hand' book ?
I told you already that BOTH WAYS are acceptable.
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

SecureMT Source
If you are still interested would be happy to share my experience
More than one smart-source. sm
The smart-sourcing involves more than one hospital. It is a good fit for me. I had to try a couple of places and a DR smart source account is an excellent fit for me. There are not mutiple recruiters either, and to suggest the recruiter comes on this board as an MT is comical, to me. I think she might be busy DOING HER JOB. Try it.
SecureMT source
Just wondering if anyone works for SecureMT Source or MD-IT out of Louisville, KY. What platform do they use, user friendly and will it work with my Instant Text?
Thanks in advance.
Can't say how I know..third party source..
but I just looked at their site and I don't see where it says they don't offshore work...they do. Yes, they are US based but they do send work offshore.
Any info on SecureMT Source?
Please!
Be realistic - not everyone can get the smart source
account because not everyone lives in the states that are applicable to those accounts. I was stuck doing the multiple cruddy hospital accounts. It would have been fine if I could have stayed on one hospital, but I was jumped from hospital to hospital and hospital. Let's face it, it gets pretty damn hard to get a 1200 line count when you are being jumped from one account to another to another throughout the day. But I'm sure there are super transcriptionists with every company that can do it; I'm not one of them. I had no problem reaching 1800 on one account, but I had to be left ON ONE ACCOUNT to get to it!
And to the poster above - yes, the recruiterS (with an S) do pose as employees on this board. So keep on laughing. It's not a big secret at the company.
Any info on SecureMT Source? sm
I cannot find much in the archives. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
Name your source and the total quote
Its irresponsible of you to suggest that Obama (or McCain for that matter) wants to put records online implying they could be unprotected.
So name your source, and the entire quote and then WE can determine what the position actually is...
source, please? In my hard book
Webster's there is only an e, no y. Need to know if this has changed and I don't trust Google on everything.
Sorry - meant, "Consider the SOURCE.NM
Umm - let me guess - you're NOT the only source

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
okay nervous nellies, consider the source and their agenda
there are so many people that want to see the 'giant' fall -- they throw out statements with nothing to back it up -- hoping everyone runs scared and they can help MQ fall. Well it ain't gonna happen. You provide no facts. Every thing this company is doing shows it is improving and getting stronger. So go cry in a corner and quit the chicken-little theatrics of "the sky is falling!!". MQ is the biggest and getting better and has a lot of happy MTs that are too smart for your antics.
No way. I work there and have asked a very reliable source who would know. nm

Further away you get from primary source, more chance for errors
But can you explain what you mean by true QA editing? Isn't all editing of VR true editing? Or are you QA'ing what has already been edited? Sorry - clear as mud I know. Hope you get what I mean.
the "Smart Source" poster has posted the same exact
response many many times. Keep in mind that the only reason you got a Smart Source account is because you lived in a state that allowed you to work on that account. There are MANY OF US that live in states that cannot get Smart Source accounts.
But I'm probably not responding to a Transcriptionist but rather a recruiter for DKR ...

Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

India, Michael. The MT world is going to India. Wonder why? nm
!
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
offshore to India, it's OFFSHORE (off shore), not outsource to India.

If the transcribed files go to India, are sent out from India to be transcribed, sm
then the transcribed work is sent BACK to India to be pasted into the GEMS platform and then sent back to the clients in America, how on earth can the company claim to be US-based because its Indian owner has a home in Kentucky?
You dont have to tell me..
I see it quite clearly. Some of that stuff is just plain crap, and it takes longer to change every other word or heading, etc. than to just type it yourself. Trust me, I know the game they are running. I am just trying to prevent others from going through the same thing a lot of us are going through right now. All of this could have been avoided by just having a little more consideration towards their MTs. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why we should have had to work for 12 days and not know what we were making--NO REASON. I think this really shows just how much they really DON'T care about us as MTs, and that makes me both sad  and angry  .
I dont know why
WHY what did your lawyer think?
dont do it
there are jobs out there that are more dependable. Dont go there. Not right now. Honestly, the system is new and there have been many new changes implemented. They are still in the process of making changes and it is a mess. The system has so many bugs in it that it is constantly going down and screwing up. There are times that it is down for hours and hours. You cannot depend on getting your line count in. Also, there is lack of work on many, many accounts way too often. They are going to editing and you will only get paid about 4 cpl. It is a mess. Please look somewhere else.
Dont do it. Dont take the job. You will
really regret it. I was laid off from my hospital job and went to work for a national and it has been the absolute worst experience. My income has gone down so much that I leave the answering machine on now because the bill collectors are calling me every day. The security of knowing that you are paid by the hour no matter what makes all of the difference in the world. When the national has platform problems, computer problems, no work (which happens frequently), etc. you are NOT PAID. You just have to sit and wait until THEY fix it. The benefits are nothing like you get working in house and they are so expensive. I just really think you should consider all of these factors and understand that it is very different from working for a hospital.
At least it has been for me, they dont TELL you to sit and
and I dont if I dont want to. If I have otherthings to do, I do them. Places to go, I go. As FT though, I do make up the hours or use PTO (which I hate doing) and really more now since my company took any PTO over 40 hours we had not used as of 12/31.
I dont know but it
is a paid ad, so they have to still be in business. They can't be too hard to find on Google or they would damage their business dealings. Sorry, I just saw the banner and knew people were questioning their existence.
I just dont do it
I personally do not accept a job that pays low. I can understand if you need the job yesterday; but with forethought and planning, a seasoned Transcriptionist should NOT work for peanuts EVER! I try not to accept less than 10 cpl, period; 9 cpl is really easy account as a subcontractor of course.
DONT DO IT! nm

DONT DO IT
DON'T DO IT...they ARE the same company as in the Phillipines operated by a very nasty CEO that will NOT pay you. She has been sued so many times for non payment. Not good people to work for.
DONT DO IT
YES they are the same company in Tennessee and the Phillipines. I use to work in both offices...trust me...DONT DO IT...very nasty owner, short fuse and will NOT pay you!
Dont ask, dont tell. nm

please dont tell me ...sm
They use it on rad accounts. I hope it's Lanier.

I dont know about everyone else, but my PC
In the last coupla weeks, it's slowed down about 50%.
You dont have to have radar here
Agree with poster above who said that only you can change things for yourself. Maybe shouldnt have used the terms babies. Fine, okay, I'll admit that. And I dont take anything on here personally. All I am saying is that all anyone does anymore is complain. It is tiresome and old.
you work there dont you? You tell us

Dont you wish someone would have warned you?...
I have gotten a lot of grief for trying to warn people about what was happening to me and others and that it would soon be happening to a large majority of you. I think it is a duty that we should all have. Why would you let someone else go through something horrible if you could possibly stop it. I loved the "old" Transcend and its management--not too happy with the "new" Transcend or its management. However, that is my opinion. I see there are many others with the same opinion, and these number will continue to grow if Transcend does not wake up. I was a "Current Transcender" until now. I just can't do it anymore. I tried to fight the good fight and hold on to them (at least until I found something else better), but my children need to eat, and I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I can no longer be a Transcend cheerleader. I was a cheerleader in the past and referred other MTs to the company (all of whom left before I did), but it is just a really "bad" place to work as far as wages go. I have to do what is best for me now. I can't go bankrupt for Transcend. Thank God I had the wisdom to find another job to supplement early on in this "transition" process. If not, I would be homeless now. I certainly do not wake up every day with my only purpose being to bash Transcend. I had to be honest with myself and others or I couldn't sleep at night. I wish all of you the best and hope you and Transcend figure it all out before it is too late for you.
