I worked for them about 3 years ago. They have a WP platform I believe. I thought it was a little fiddly, but not bad. Lots of OPs, big hospitals. They didn't bug me, just let me work. It's easy to make the lines if you're experienced. They really know what they are doing. If I needed the work, I would go back to them without hesitation.

Have been with them a short time
I have been with them for about 3 weeks. QA is very nice. My account is very decent. I can work whenever I feel like it as long as I put in my lines. Bayscribe is a very easy and simple software to get used to. Pay is excellent. Overall, I'm pretty happy so far.
No, and if it goes down, it is for very short time.

I worked for them a short time ago.. sm
I found them to be a very good company, very fair and very honest. I had no problems with getting my check at all. I did not stay with them long, however it had nothing to do with the company, it was for personal reasons. I would work for them again. Good luck.
Yes. Quite a while ago and for a very short period of time.
Just wasn't a good fit and didn't feel good to me. The pay was on time. Platform was shoe-string transfers via e-mail but that could be different now.
I worked there a short time
and EVERYBODY I ever dealt with was pleasant & professional. Very, very nice company. I ended up leaving because I had trouble with my DSL and kept losing jobs, but it was a great company. I loved being able to review other chart notes on the patients, very helpful. Good luck to you there!
I worked for them for a short time.
Very, very fussy in QA, but other than that was a decent place to work.
What do you need to know? I worked there for a short time
Not my favorite company -- not because of software, but QA issues. No two QA said the same thing. It was a losing battle. I am much happier since I left that place. AMEN!
I've been with them a short time.....sm
and am very happy. Nice folks, good accounts and good pay.
Worked there for a short time
I had no issues. I was never threatened. They will ask for help if MTs are not working/meeting quotas and as an AM myself, it seems there are more MTs who don't care than do.
The choice is for a short time @ all SM
companies. As more and more accounts and job types are run through VR, the straight typist will find herself without work at times. When they tell someone they have no work, they will be told that if they would do VR they would have plenty of work. That's how it goes. Company will tell the MTs it's a choice, but even they know that eventually it will be forced upon everyone if they want to have steady work.
I worked there for a very short time
...just long enough to figure out there was no way to make any money...especially on the Emdat Inscribe platform they use. The people there are very nice though but that doesn't pay the bills!
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
There are times when someone is with a company a very short time but they are obviously sm
management material, especially if they have been management somewhere else in the past. I have never had anyone as a manager and am looking into that but it is difficult to figure out what and how to pay this person, what their duties will be and what kind of hours I need help during. I have had 15 of the same MTs for over 5 years and while they are all good MTs, they either do not want to be or would not make good managers, but someone I hired just 3 weeks ago is someone I am considering based on her experience and what she has proven to me in this short time.
In other industries, it is called the Fast Track to Management or Climbing the Corporate Ladder Quickly. Why should MT be any different?
Worked there for a very short time. Glad to be gone.

also worked there just a short time last year .. nm

I so agree. Worked w/them for short time sm
and one of the worst experiences of my career. Too many things to list. Horrid.
I worked for them for a short time and found the
platform very cumbersome. It was the worst platform I have ever worked with. The people were nice, a little flaky, but nice. Communication could have been better. Pay was on time and direct deposit.
Just a matter of time - the Indians know they are being short-changed. nm

I worked there for a short time. Wonderful company.
I went and got my own clients, so I couldn't do both. Pay was adequate and on time by direct deposit. I had a teaching hospital, good account, some difficult ESL, some not so difficult. Bayscribe platform is okay, had to get used to it. I personally was not fond of it, but to each their own.
The long distance phone service was not an issue. I used the Verizon unlimited LD and regional plan $49.99 per month.
All-in-all, my experience was good while there. Every company has their ups and downs. It all depends on what your individual needs are and how far out of your comfort zone you want to go.
Good luck!
I worked for TSLLC for a short time last year
They pay hourly for editing voice recognition reports. Back then, very few of the reports were very good quality, most of them had to be pretty much retyped. The software might have learned some of those by now though, not sure as I didn't stay to find out. One thing I was told AFTER I started working there was that your hourly rate will most likely go down. During the first 3 months, you get paid the hourly rate you agreed upon and then they start charting how long you're actually playing the voice file and that's what you get paid for. In other words, every time you stop the voice to make corrections, you're not getting paid. They also constantly sent emails with stupid mistakes that other MTs/editors were making and I just got annoyed and quit. But all in all, it was actually a good company and I always got paid on time, and if I remember correctly, it was weekly. I would just recommend asking for a higher hourly rate to begin with or making sure it won't go down later, put something in the contract or something. Hope this helps and wasn't too confusing :)
She was talking abt not meeting standards in a short time - sm
like a week. Doesn't sound like she was good enough to keep around for longer.
The grass, in my opinion, is definitely not greener. I left QT and a short time later, sm
I came back and was never happier that I did. I should never have left in the first place. I think QT is, by far, one of the most flexible, good-paying, understanding company to work for. I actually enjoy when it is a little slow and volunteer to have a day off. I love to have a day to myself every once and a while.
In regard to the person who waits 30 minutes for work, just call again. Sometimes, the office people get side tracked and then might forget that they didn't get work routed. L told me once, if I didn't have work in 10 minutes, call again. Usually, if this happens to me, the person says something line, Oh, I got busy and totally forgot, I'm sorry, I'll do it right away. Sorry about the long post, I just happen to think that QT is the best company out there! ;)
I worked a short time, El Centro & Salinas acct.
It took 3 1/2 solid days for the install (for free) System not too stable, had to contact tech support constantly. QA was from overseas, some inhouse. The account were also sent there after a certain time of day, 5pm I think it was. The particular account I worked on was really difficult lot of accents (account near Mexico border) A lot of slurring and speedy ones, they did not seem to care how they dictated. I am familiar with ESL too. I did not enjoy the experience.
I think someone on the Main Board had this problem a short time ago. Maybe a search there will show

Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.
s
I personally can't sit for 4 hours at a time. I work 2 hous, sign off and take a short break.
It might just be fixing something to drink or starting a load of laundry. If you did something like that then you wouldn't have to worry about a disconnect and possibly losing a report.
Filled out ...
online app on Monday; got an email that afternoon inviting to test. Tested next day (Tue). Phone call from recruiter on Thursday and she emailed data sheet that day and had contracts/paperwork FedEx'd that day. Rec'd FedEx on Friday (yesterday). Returned it Sat (today - 7/16). Waiting for equipm/training next week!!
That job has already been filled
They post jobs like that because they feel it is the PC thing to do but 9 times out of 10 they already have someone in place. That's the way OSi does business unfortunately. If they have it in for you, you will most assuredly not be promoted by them. They promote from within meaning people they don't have it in for.
already filled in with me too
the data is already filled in for the company that I work for also. I don't work for Allegiant, but do use EMDAT. I'm paid for two lines before I type one character.
Yes, had a contract and filled out sm
a 1099. Received checks without taxes deducted. All of a sudden deducted taxes, and told me I was staying employee like it or lump it. From what I read on these boards, this company is always low-balling someone.
Maybe the M-F positions are filled? Don't know

As I was out to get my prescriptions filled
Diskriter called. I sent them my resume Sunday. The thing is, I work for a hospital that is going to VR and templates. They are cutting back on MTs. They are leaving the CMTs, higher producers and the ones with the most experience to do the leftover MT work. They offered me a position in medical records. I will be doing the corrections, scanning charts and other clerical things as well, which would be fine, but they are going to give me a flat hourly rate at $11/hour. I made more on production. I will be driving 40 miles in-house. I drive a gas guzzling Chevy Suburban. Plus, I will be getting up early early, having to get dressed, get the kids dressed and out the door so I can be there by 7:30. If I am late they will write me up. I forget how many write-ups I can get before they give me to boot. I know for a fact that they are not as flexible with their hourly employees as they are with their production employees. It makes me nervous. On the other hand, I will be using different skills other than MT. I won't be making much profit though.
I filled out an application
I filled out the application and sent in my resume. I was called for an interview and then asked to test, and I had the 2nd interview today and was hired. I am so excited!
Jobs filled up
These days with all the people applying for jobs in this field, it is not surprising they filled up the position in a few days. There are many more MTs than positions at good companies (note I said good companies). If it were me, I'd send an e mail or call asking that they keep my resume. You never know when they will need someone because of becoming exceptionally busy with snowbirds in Florida (they have accounts there). My 2c.
Demographics already filled
 Allegiant is a wonderful company to work for. she ALWAYS pays on time with direct deposit. All of her accounts are in the database and there are no patient lists used whatsoever. I have used Emdat for 6 years and I am very happy with the amount of money I make.
She posted that all the spots were filled now, anyway. nm
s
That's exactly it - the shifts everyone wants (day shift, MF) are filled but the others sm
are open. Should we just not fill them because YOU don't have enough to do? My STM sent out info regarding what shifts were open and asked if anyone was interested in taking on that account. Obviously not enough people were interested, meaning they have to hire to fill those weekend and night shifts.
She has posted that the spots are filled

I just had 2 meds filled and never paid a dime.

Do you give it back with the blanks filled in?
I send things to QA and never hear back until I prod and prod. This is a waste of my time as well only to hear from QA don't know, we sent through with the blank. If you are filling in the blanks, then you should be giving it back to the MT with the mistakes filled in and also a way for the MT to relisten. JMO. Is this MT doing the same doc or is she being thrown new ones to learn each day? As far as the timeframe for when will she learn, there are a lot of variables to that question in my opinion. Sorry to sound sort of like huh?, but you seem like you are sort of complaining about the job you chose. If you do not like QA, why not try going back to being an MT. JMO. Good luck with the MT though..
Why positions cannot be filled. Not due to lack of workers,
Is it because Microsoft cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers without paying US expected pay. I am sure if Microsoft was offering a decent wage those positions could be filled. But they will not be filled with US employees if Microsoft is only willing to pay offshore pay rates.
I filled out the paperwork and late the same day they called
to setup an interview the next day and I was immediately offered a position. They have a large account coming on-line very soon and are trying to train several people too, so there may be a backlog. I was hired 2 weeks ago and start training later this week.
I was told the oncology positions were filled already. nm

Just filled out my new hire paperwork today-sm
I'm glad to hear encouraging things. I'm really excited! I'm just P/T so all the OT stuff and what not does not apply to me anyway.
and was emailed immediately that the position had been filled, ad is now gone..hmm (nm)

So all three you just filled in the blanks and didn't need special equipment?
The MT I work with and I might test with them this week.
Think they posted that all spots were filled 2 days after posting
s
Yikes..5 cpl and they filled the positions..pathetic..okay all you out there that stooped so low to
accept that rate, please raise your hand LOL.. That is SHOCKING..who could live on 5 cpl. I think I'd be insulted and humilated and DESPERATE to accept that rate. I'm pretty sure they are getting more than 5 cpl from their clients. You can bet they are making more than enough by having the slaves work for free practically.
How many have filled applications out with what you make and test and never hear
 anything back. I wonder if you make a decent 10 cpl or something that is the end of hearing back from them thinking you want that much or more when you fill out the application.
I have tons of experience and I sent a resume to them and I filled out the application, took the
test, did fine, got a huge questionnaire to fill out that took about 1/2 hour or more then got a call and they wanted me to take an oral test and do another editing test. I thought what is this. This all took hours of my time. I do think you have to clock in and out like at MQ and I am not interested in the least in doing that again. Been there and done that.
may depend on account; mine needed demos filled in.
