I've worked for many nationals i.e. Webmedx, MDI-FL, Transcend, etc. and
I like Medquist the best.
Nothing from Transcend, although I heard others got gift cards or at least a card. I've worked th
several years so if it was just a case of being forgotten that is still pretty pathetic. How do you forget your employees, especially when you get junk bulk mail from there regarding nothing that involves you..but at Christmas you were forgotten. Oh well, I have work and for that I am grateful so I'll be nice...
What the heck? I've never heard that in the 8 yrs I've worked here. sm
Go back to your STM or over his or her head.
I've been there since 10/06. Love it.
I was with MQ for 11 yrs before I switched to TT. I love it here for all of the same reasons that others have posted.
I LOVE Transcend!!!!!!!!!
Love Transcend
I have been with Transcend for two years and I plan to retire here. The benefits are great, just started a 401-K match, the people are supportive.
I've LOVE 2 require that...
but most companies would laugh at me, I'm afraid. I'll just have 2 settle for my $25/hr. job at MQ...
I've been there 2 months now and love it!
So far, it is by far the best national I've worked for.
Thank you! I will take the work. I love Transcend!

I love transcend. They have a great rep with MLS...
Any company with over 600 MLS will have some happy, some not so happy - but to say "shady" I take offense to. I really love the company and many people agree with me
I love Transcend, I would not speak for everyone...
It's amazing the things people will say on these boards. There are a lot of happy transcriptionists at Transcend, and I get treated great. I love my job, get paid well per line and also get great benefits, including a 401-K match
I love Transcend, have been there for years...
started with MDI. The offshore component is mostly on Escription, and has never affected my workload.
Transcend is a good company; they treat me well and I make great money - I could care less if they offshore. Then again, I also have a Samsung TV, a German car and many things made in China!
Used to love Transcend, now no work.
Iused to make good money, did not even mind editing, but now I have to work 18 hours a day to try to get 1200 lines because all the work is taken. I have to ask permission to work outside my regular hours - absolutely no work on my regular hours now, have to beg for work all the time and my supervisors do not care. I used to make good money, now I qualify for food stamps. I've worked for my accounts for a long time and if this is a sign of what's going to happen to everyone else at the company, good luck.
I love Amphion! I've only been there 2 months now....
but am very happy. They are extremely helpful. Any concerns I have had (which have been only minimal things) have been addressed very quickly. A week after I was on my account, I hadn't complained at all, but got an email from my boss that said they had decided that we had to do a little more info screen input so they were adding a 3% differential to my base pay for that account! The benefits are good. I would definitely consider them if I were you.
I love Transcend. Lots of work, sm
great communication, flexibility.
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for. There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well. They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance. Am I getting rich off this? No. Am I paid reasonably well? Yes. Would I recommend Transtech? Absolutely!
I agree. Hate Transcend but love Robert..nm

I totally disagree, I love Transcend... there are a lot of companies out there..
instead of complaining, why don't you find another. Life is way too short, as someone said.
Love it there, best company I have ever worked for, NM

I have worked there for about 2-1/2 years and love it. sm
I had a problem a few months ago waiting for an ID for a new account when I asked for a change. I am glad that they kept me on my original account during the wait because it took over 3 weeks. I was told that the hospitals can take a while but the wait was worth it as I am on the best radiology account I have ever been on. I have never run out of work and get paid both well and on time, so I am happy.
It is worth the wait.
Worked at MW for over 1.5 years and love it!
 Email me for more info. :)
For the love of Pete -- She worked
for Transtech. See the post near the bottom of the page by Happy Clam. It's all there.
I wouldn't have remembered but for the fact that I never knew gourd painting was that popular. Have fun Gourd Painter!
I've worked for both.
I prefer MDI-FL of the two. It also depends on what you're looking for out of a company. MDI-FL was far more flexible with regard to account assignment, work schedule, and line commitment. You've read the archives. There are pros and cons to each employer. My personal opinion is that MDI-FL is the better of the two. I'd go back there if I hadn't found my current position. Medware, never.
I've never actually worked for her, but she's
a very nice person.
I've worked for them before....
Usually that happens when they are waiting for the account to actually start up. Just send her an email asking her about the status of the account/your start date.
I've never worked anywhere but MQ
until recently, but if you like the DocQScribe platform, you might want to look into DSG. I tested and interviewed with them and was offered a decent pay of 9 cpl. I originally accepted a position with them but ended up turning them down b/c they wanted more of a schedule commitment from me than I wanted to give. For the short while that I was on their communication roster, they seemed to have a lot of work available in DSG-II and they offered bonuses almost every weekend to work extra that were paid back to the first line that you typed for the day it was offered.
The people I spoke with there seemed pretty nice. Like I said, I never actually worked for them, but had I not wanted the true IC status, I would have. I really liked the idea of working on DQS, especially since I'm not familiar with any of the other platforms out there (until now).
Good luck in whatever you decide. There are a lot of archives on here for Keystrokes if you check. Don't really know anything about Transcend other than the constant jobs they post. That would kind of make me wonder, but maybe they've hit a growth spurt. If you do end up at DSG, please email me and let me know what they're like. If things don't work out with my new job, I may try them again. The recruiter was open to that idea.
I've never worked for them, but -
I'd call (or at least email the recruiter) and find out if there's a problem, or if they've simply forgotten. As I indicated, I've never worked for them, but if I were waiting to start a job, I'd be shaking somebody's tree to find out the reason for hold up.
Good luck :-)
I've worked there....sm
and would have to say ditto on the other posters comments. Very nice people, pay up front, good communication, and I had pretty productive accounts with them. The pay is indeed low, but if the productivity is good and you like the company, that may all even out for you.
I've never worked for them
but if I had not decided to stay retired that is where I would have gone because I know someone who works for them (I trained her myself). She's been there a number of years and all-in-all says she is quite happy. Her pay is way above average although I didn't ask her if she knew what the starting rate is now. One thing I did ask her is whether they ran out of work and she said almost never. AND she doesn't do VR. I didn't ask whether they have VR or not.
As I said a few days ago, this is second hand information and I have no first hand knowledge. Probably not much help but I would suggest at least talking with them. You never know until you try it for yourself.
Good luck!
I work for Transcend, love them, but right now a few accounts are slow..so depending on which you
were hired for, do not get your expectations too high. The work can flucuate the key is flexibiltiy. If you have to have a set schedule, I would double check on the work flow for your shift on your account. I would hope that they could be honest, and if I know them, they will be.
I've used both PC SH & Instant Text and they are comparable ... would love to hear comparison (s
Shorthand (or my version of it) seems to have a compatibility problem with the Bayscribe platform Expander ...so I just use ShortHand (I don't know if it's just my quite old version or not) ...
I switched from Instant Text to Shorthand when the in-house Meditech job I was working agreed to install Shorthand for the department.
I believe they both have 90 day or some such downloadable trials.
If you have more than one computer, it's not a bad idea to buy the disk and documentation so if you need/want to reinstall it, it's there ... though that may be old school thinking on my part.
Good luck.
I worked for Transcend!
I know nothing about Transcend. I worked for JLG
back when they were supposed to be a really good company and they paid by gross lines. But I was on an account with the CRAPPIEST mushmouth dictators I have ever heard in my life. My account must have been just overflow of the dictators the hospital MTs didn't want to do because every single one of them was bad. I made okay money, but I think with gross lines I should have been able to do so much better - and I could have if the dictators were decent.
Okay, then one time there was no work on what I usually work on so I moved over to ERs. I was in heaven! The dictators were so good and I worked right along and made great money that day and I was thinking YEAH - THIS IS THE WAY TO GO! Except then I got an email telling me not to do the ERs, because they wanted to save them for the people who couldn't do anything else.  Oh - so because I'm a very experienced, GOOD MT I have to get stuck with the crap and you give the newbie/know-nothing MTs the GOOD dictation? Um, I don't think so!
And now I see they pay by the 65 space line instead of by gross lines. Just wouldn't be worth it to me.
I have worked for MQ and Transcend
I cannot recommend either of them. I don't know about Spheris. Good luck. You might make more at a smaller company or hospital. That is what I did.
worked for Transcend
Two years ago, I worked for Transcend. However, at that time, they seemed to be over-hiring, and I kept running out of work! Eventually, I went somewhere else, but left on good terms with them that if they ever needed the help, I'd consider going back. They were actually good to work for, the people are nice, the communication was great. The only thing was I got ALOT of ESL that were extremely hard (have 13 years working as acute care MT). Good Luck!
I worked for Transcend, but unfortunately
They were a good company as far as I could tell. Ditto above, plus they were true to their word and paid better than most I see posted here. I was on Beyond TXT as well. They hooked me right up with my specialty that I'm great at, and they answered all of my questions. Don't know about Sten-Tel.
I really liked Transcend when I worked for them.
it up due to a family emergency. It went very smooth from the time I was contacted by the recruiter, equipment, and training. All was going great! They pay on time. They paid for training. Unfortunately, when I contacted the recruiter after a few weeks had passed, the schedule was not one that I had originally signed on for, so therefore, I couldn't take the position. I highly recommend Transcend! They were wonderful and so understanding! 
I have worked for Transcend for several
months and I think it is okay. My team leader and ROM are both nice. For full time you have to make $900 per pay period. That is not hard to do. I don't know what the benefits are for part time but full time seems pretty good. They also gave a $25 gift card to Walmart for Christmas. That was nice.
Overall, I am happy there. Hope you will be, too.
Since I have worked at Transcend
they've never given a shift differential or weekend differential. You can't cut what doesn't exist.
I've worked 4 jobs before. I know what its like..
when money was tight, I got another job. (I had full-time MT job, waitressed at restaurant, bartended at a lounge, and cleaned and oversaw my apartment building) Did all that to move out of my parent's basement. That's how I am. Money's not so tight anymore because of BF, so now I have TIME to spend with my kids and I CAN appreciate that TIME because when I worked in-house, I didn't HAVE it. K. Enuf said.
I've worked for MDI over a year now

I've heard of them but have never worked for them.
Originally, it was a mother/daughter team in Montana. Evidently now, the daughter's in Wisconsin but they still have an office in Montana. Nice enough people. I worked with the son-in-law for a while at another job. The workload is easy, but I don't know how steady it is. I applied with them when I was a newbie but found a job elsewhere for more pay.
Yes, they were the rudest QA I've ever worked with. nm

I've not worked for them directly, but have been...
in contact with the upper management off an on for other matters. Very personable, level-headed, and presumably much SANER than some other company higher-ups that we've all discussed here!
I've worked for MDI-MD for several years and no,
my liason either. But that's okay.
I've worked there for over a month...
...and I'm always out of work. I have even asked for ESL accounts and was told It's slow all over.
This is wacky to me, too. I've worked there for 4 sm
years and paycheck has always been DD on time. In fact, this time since Monday is a holiday it is in my checking account today.
Best company I've worked for. sm
The pay is a little low but it's worth it for good accounts and great management, not to mention the good benefits.
I've worked for both cos, and TT wins
hands down for me.
They are great to work with. The platform is great. You will not believe how wonderful and helpful QA people are compared to what some at the Q are getting now. The only time I've run out of work has been the occasional Monday for an hour or so, and some holidays were light on dictation. You'll have to work out your schedule with the recruiter, but they are very reasonable as long as they get the weekend coverage they need. I'm sure they will set you up as a split shift if you want. Not so sure about four 10-hour days, but you can always ask. They won't ever be ugly to you.
I'm with you - best place I've ever worked. sm
I can't believe anyone is running out of work within the company (except for this week of lower account volumes). Goes to show that there are at least two sides to every story!
Last 2 places I've worked I was off QA
after one day.
