A LITTLE hard to understand????
Did you ever figure out how much you would have been paid on the report you just edited and ALMOST COMPLETELY RETYPED compared to your editing pay????
It's really not hard to understand (sm)
When people pitch in and help, they get within the TAT again (especially at the end of a pay period) It's not rocket science.
Trying hard to understand your post, and you
could very well be on the QA staff at OSi. OR could also be management. Trust me, there are many people who have a lot to say about the insanity at OSi.
nm=no message inside. Can't believe it's so hard to understand. nm

Worked there shortly. Pretty disorganized. Hard to understand the

Agree, lines are hard to get. I also think the sound quality doesnt help things. nm

I experienced the no-reply thing AND the sound quality for me was crap. Had to redo my whole hard

Same here. Too much fuzz and static on the lines. Redid the hard drive, new phones, new sound card,

Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Avoid DSG2 at all costs...don't know if it is rerecord or not
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
Well thanks but that does not sound too good does it? for OSI I mean. nm

Good luck with the 11 CPL - very hard to come by -
Don't give up trying but I have tons of experience and no one wants to offer more than 9 cpl tops. It sucks, big time.
Hard to believe, but sounds good. nm

Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
What happened there? Did they can a few of the QA? You sound like one of the good ones. nm

Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
They do sound like a good company (sm)
and as long as they have people who volunteer to work holidays, they won't have to make rules about it.
sure does not sound like a good move if you are not getting sm
the work types you like and are good at. Sorry to hear you are not happy.
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

The sound files are usually quite good, actually.
Of course, every once in a while you get a bad quality report.
sorry, meant it's good to know...
when the vendors ARE NOT WORKING
Medquist is starting to sound really GOOD!
I work for a national where the platform's been down more than up for the last few months, and they don't pay a penny for downtime.
Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM

Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm

sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg
It sounds as if the owner loses her cool! Not good! Thanks!
Gee, I tried real hard to find those good posts,
but all I could find, in addition to the other complaints already listed, were complaints about being in the "middle of an 11-minute job when it was pulled and given to someone else," "There has to be a better way NOT to make a living," "I know I am going to end up on food stamps," complaints of no compensation for down time and BTXT being down and MTs not being notified.
If there were one or two positive comments about it on there somewhere, they are certainly overshadowed by all the justified negativity, outrage and frustration that's there.
I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you recommend that anyone apply there for employment these days. It used to be a good company, and like the song says, "Used-to-be's don't count any more." Although I don't expect them to "bring me flowers" I do expect to be able to earn a living wage, and those days are quickly disappearing.
They are good production and interesting, but hard to learn. nm

Good MT hard to find & 1 familiar with platform is

Not a good company. Their pay is low and software hard to work with sm
although now they say DocQScribe which means they have picked up MQ accounts like other companies. I would stay away.
Good luck to you. I totally understand
nm
I understand your point. Good luck to you
I am hoping it is just because it is before the holidays... the lack of work lately is worse than usual, and I feel very blue b/c I somehow feel that I could have seen this coming. I have turned down other jobs because I keep thinking it will get better. Hoping it will and seeing no work does not a good Christmas ham make. Too late now for Christmas, tomorrow is last day of the p/p. But I sure hope a good company or 2 posts soon, so we can have another option. I know that I am not alone in feeling this way... maybe it is just the holidays, I keep telling myself, and it will get better...
They really dont pay enough for having most ESL accounts. Hard to get a good line count
and then to only make 8 cpl. It really is not worth it. Chartscript is not productive in my opinion.
Incentive tier isn't so good when it's hard to make lines. I'm about

Fingers are crossed (but it's hard to type!). Good luck! nm

Why don't these companies realize that good sound quality is
essential for transcribing. If the big bosses had to listen to the scratches and static for hours on end, day after day, maybe this wouldn't happen, but most of them don't even know what a foot pedal and headset are. I find that the sound quality from the internet files are far worse than anything I ever encountered on DVI, C-phone, or Lanier systems telephone systems.
Only good thing I have heard lately is that a friend of mine, also an MT recently filed for disability based on hearing loss and/or inability to hear the files that she was required to do and won the case for total disability. She does have some hearing loss, but when she took her computer to the hearing and dialed in and had the adjudicator listen, there was no question that she would never be able to continue in this line of work. Maybe a few more workman comp cases would wake them up.
I'm so sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound good. I hope you

Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm

If you say anything good about this company, the trolls want to knock you down,but..Sound is fine
nm
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
TS has very outdated platform, and it's very hard to get a good daily line count. NMout

Yeah, but the sound quality is horrible on all accounts. Good luck with that!

Good sound quality, fair line counting, pay always on time.

A contact says she likes it, sound is good, but you have to use autocorrect/text, no other expander

1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm

How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm

Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma
services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational. ALL software has its share of problems. It's the nature of the business. When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO? If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement? Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?
My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete. It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.
All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions. If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it. If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on. However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt. While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.
Good Luck!
