I do not know why the poster below says to get everything in writing; I have been a part of Transcend since 2003 and I really do love it. No issues, good communication, good pay. I have been in this industry a long time and have heard (and seen firsthand) a lot of horror stories. You cannot please everyone, but my experience has been very good. Feel free to e-mail me directly

I can only say positive things
about Chronicle Transcripts. If you are considering a position with this company,I would certainly not hesitate.
Want to hear POSITIVE information
Anyone willing to share?
Awesome, it's so nice to hear from people who like their jobs and are positive.nm

So glad to hear all the positive feedback and I also accepted a position with them
nm
I am so sorry to hear that!! Hope things have changed
for your sake:( Terrible co. IMO
I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

I disagree; I love MDI-Fl. Things have been
great. If anything, I get more communication than I really need
I agree, i love those things too :)

I love VR and think you have things wrong
when you said it can improve your production if you are not very experienced and not very fast. Sorry but do not fit that mold at all, over 35+ in transcription doing hospital work and also my speed over 120 wpm. I don't have a clue as to where some get this notion, such as you, that VR works better for what sounds perhaps like newbies. You have to have the knowledge in order to change what is wrong and to edit you have to be extremely fast. I make good money, love VR, hate when I get a straight report to type now and am 1 happy lady. Maybe you had a bad experience with the platform itself. Mine is great and I am so thankful with all the ESLs we have now because does that help out tremendously.
Would love to hear how your new job is going
Sharmz, I would really appreciate any update. I think that would help me a lot in deciding which way to go. Thanks so much for your post. Good Luck on your new position.
Some people just love to stir things up.
I just love this company! I have only great things to say
about them. Pay on time, very nice and helpful people, excellent company!
Thanks for this post. I love a new perspective on things.
I've always felt that the women libbers helped the need for 2-income families, but you are right - I hadn't thought about the single women and women who wanted to work not being able to get decent jobs or decent pay. We still have a long way to go to break the glass ceiling, but women can be anything they want to be these days with regard to career, and we have the women libbers to thank for that most definitely. I am very grateful for all their efforts. I just wish that it was easier to be a SAHM these days...whatever the reason - economy, government, libbers, greed, etc. While I do feel they played at least a small role in it, the good they did outweighs the downfalls. I appreciate your input. It has given me a new perspective on things. Thanks!
I sent you an email; but I'd love to hear about this - sm
radio receiver thing. How does it work? What do I need to get it? We have a huge radio antenee on one side of the house that the previous owner used for some sort of radio transmitting, ham radio operator or something like that. Love to learn more and see if this is a way I could get high-speed.
I would love to hear which companies would pay more.
I applied for several but that was the best I could do.
Paladin Retrieval? Would love to hear from
Do they pay timely? Direct deposit? Any info is appreciated.
Definately call. They will love to hear from you and

Now, did you hear me say I didn't love him? I just have a man who wants to pamper me and why not.
I have my own money too kiddo, I'm not that dumb! I have a great man and a great life here and I'm loving it! Lots of love, lots of free time and more importantly, not slaving at the computer for peanuts!
Anybody work for PMSI? Would love to hear your experience.

Let's hear from the MTs that love their companies, their jobs and have a great line count
I love where I work, happy with line count, happy with earning potential. Love being an MT and working at home. You???
I would LOVE to hear opinions on Enterprise platform for Webmedx&for Shorthand.See msg.
Thanks so much! Does anyone know if Instant Text will work with Enterprise also. The recruiter who offered me a job was fuzzy on that. Any webmedx employees who would like to E-mail me opinions, etc., I would deeply appreciate it.
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.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't.
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Hear, hear! (Or is it 'here, here?') LOL
Well-I don't have anything positive
to say about my experience so I guess I will shut up!!
Positive for me
n/m
At least something positive
came out of this! :)
Not positive, but I think . . . sm
the poster was referring to $1000/mo. since that was the original amount in question.
Mostly positive
It is very different from medical transcription and the pay is low and first payment is delayed, *but* if you want to learn something different and are willing to deal with the learning curve, it is OK. I like the break from medical and the challenge...
I would *not*, however, put all of my eggs (or even most of them) in this basket. Unless/until you are proficient in this type of transcription, you'll probably starve.
And even if positive
Even if you give a positive response to anything someone along the line will knock you down for whatever it is worth. Sometimes it just not worth it. Read the comments I guess for whatever they are worth.
Does anyone have anything positive to say about.....sm
Softscript? I would like to know what makes them an undesireable company to work for as everything sounds okay to me. Is it their pay? What is it? TIA
Be a little more positive.
I too wish this site can be more positive. I mean, I understand we all need to vent sometimes, but get a grip!!! There are pluses and minuses to every profession. If you really can't stand doing this, consider finding a new job or starting a new career. There are still transcriptionists who like doing this type of work. For those of you who are so unhappy with your job, are you going you reject your paychecks when you receive it?
Positive
My daughter worked for them for a couple of years and for the most part, she was happy there. They are (as many companies now are) sticklers about your scheduled hours but that isn't such a bad thing. She never ran out of work and had support from the company when she needed (okay until she needed time off and they said no they couldn't spare her and that's why she left)
Would you mind emailing me?
So? Is being positive a bad thing?
Maybe this person is the first person to say "can I help?"
Maybe she came from a company where she had the worst account, and now has the best account imaginable (It happened to me--I adore my account at Transcend!)
Maybe she communicates with QA rather than having a "they're out to get me" attitude.
Maybe she is concerned about building rather than destroying.
Maybe she's just one of those people who makes the best out of any given situation.
If I were in management, someone like that would definitely be among my favorites.
I can probably say that, without a doubt, you'd not be on my "favorites" list, without ever having met you.
Spheris positive
I have been there a little over a month, and so far, I absolutely love it. I had 6 years with MQ and not many of them happy. Hoping this is my new "home".
Positive Spheris
Have been with EDIX/Spheris for five years and still happy! It is not perfect but have a great supervisor, earning good money and my hours are what I want! Guess we are all looking for something different in companies. Can email me if you like.
Not all positive but not all negative..
At least I stayed busy with them and not sittling idly waiting for work like now.
Positive for me and I agree...
it depends on the supervisor/account. Was a lot of tension for ME for a while, but since new super, been very, very positive.
I had a positive experience
I agree totally with cjs. I had other reasons for quitting them recently.
I have positive experience's with OSi
I have been with OSi for probably 6-7 years. Lord, I am so busy I can't remember.I get paid very very well for my position. I to have rose from the ranks and it did not take long because my goal was to be a superviser. I have never been a manager before so I learn as go but I am enjoying everything about it - to feel that I I am being looked up to and that I can set an example and teach something. It is a goal I have come up with some good ideas that were not in place before. All companies have journies they must take so we may never have perfection so we will hope for the best. I do love working with the new girls who are the future but we still appreciate our older and middle aged women who are strong and perform excellent work. Just so you know that you are not forgotten. Promotions are for everyone , not just the newbies, but is gives them an extra step and helps them be strong for the future. It makes them thrilled that they have been promoted.
One positive - pay on time. sm
Pay is low. I was given work load that stretched my day into 15 hours and low $$$. Burned out and exhausted by the time I stopped working there. Owner is famous for making lots of promises and not following through, and her martyr routines once you notice how hard it is to make lines. They constantly call and IM for things a clerk should be doing. I have heard since I left that she gives some of her work to Indians.
Regarding positive feedback
As company policy, DSG's QA staff never send MTs feedback. All feedback comes from management. There is no such thing as positive feedback. You will get some form of QA information on rare occasions, never a job well done, and often contradictory to previous memos or e-mails or even other direct feedback. The only way to get any response is to pick up the phone, don't rely on e-mails, and call the highest level of management.
Positive feedback???
At DSG you get no direct feedback from the QA people. You only ever get feedback from management. I never once had a good job or any sort of positive feedback. All I ever had was specific information about account specs, and these change with the wind. On some accounts, the spec changes are so often it's hard to keep track of what's going on. Also, the feedback is very rare, or you can be told about something that you have being doing for months that now is wrong.
Positive thinking
I am a positive person everywhere in my life, except when it comes to talking about my job and this industry. Most of the people in this industry that I am surrounded by are the same way.
Minnieha, maybe you can share with us the name of the company you work for that is more positive than negative? I have been searching for a good fit for the last 2 years and each employer is worse than the last. Thanks for the info.
Michele
nothing positive to offer
being a former employee who also went through the same things you see here.
So far EVERY message is very positive
So far so good.
IC is only in Canda now....I am almost positive.
I am employed part time flex, and am required to produce 2,000 lines per week. I have given my PS a schedule, but lately with all the bonuses being offered I have been all over the place with my hours. She does not complain as my accounts are out of TAT.
I will qualify for the quarterly bonus so long as I transcribe my 2000 lines per week, and the hours worked do not matter.
My PS is great. I do not get much complaint if I am not working my schedule to a tee, as I am flex. She knows she can count on me if the work falls behind.
Also, there is no maximum lines per week you can type. I tend to transcribe 6000 per week, but like the PT flex status.
Hope this helps.
