Did you read the post you replied to at all?
Because they can even manipulate their count program not to count certain letters, data tags, etc. Of course it will not jive with a word count in Word that will count it all and fairly. Make sense?
I replied, too
What difference would it make if it was an MTSO checking things out? I mean, if they have jobs, what the hey? Or am I missing something here?
Yep, I got it and replied.
Thanks.
I was just looking at their website when you replied to this, trying to (sm)
decide if I should call them about an ad they had online! Do they have employee status or is it all IC? Were they flexible with schedules? If you don't want to answer on here, feel free to e-mail me. I have about 6 companies I'm juggling and don't know which to choose. Thanks!

Loved The Way You Replied!
I know this is days after your discussion but just saw your post. Laughed out loud at the way you replied to the previous comment about better rate. Guess it was just one of those moments that I needed a good laugh.
I know they never replied to me when I E-mailed them..nm

TY, replied back. nm

Thanks to all who replied to my post. nm

Got it and replied back. Thanks! nm
I replied to you once, sweetheart. You've got a
really bad attitude. My response wasn't a big huge long drawn out one-sided conversation either. It was plain and simple. If you can't find the email that they send to everyone, CALL THEM or email them. Who is supposed to help you here? Not that I CARE anyway. Just trying to help the helpless become more proactive in finding their own answers. How much time did you waste on the board being snotty and calling everyone else snotty when a simple little five minute phone call would have fixed all of your complaints? Try to help someone and get your nose bit off.
Ditto....I replied about them below too but just had to say I agree again! (nm)
...
I posted the one you replied to, and I didn't
say anything about Obama...?
A post was made asking for opinions. I replied. sm
Part of the reason I replied was because I did go to management, several times in fact, and either there were no replies whatsoever or the replies were in disagreement with others in management, leaving me wondering which one was correct, or they were replies to simply pacify with no intention of correcting. I'm not trying to flame the company. If my experience seems like a flame, it is because there is a problem and exposing it is like exposing dirty laundry, I guess. It isn't meant to dissuade anyone or persuade any else for that matter. It is simply MY experience. Like I said before, I am not a disgruntled employee. I am merely experiencing some things in the company that differ from what others are going through and I am simply expressing my experiences on this forum because of what I stated before about intimidation coming from management on the internal forum.
You are absolutely right that there are many, many employees of Transcend that are extremely happy. I'm not among the ones who have flamed anyone for posting postive experiences. I have/had been one of those happy employees for years. There are also many that have been so fed up they have quit. There are also current employees who are in my situation as well, but are afraid to talk about it. At this point in time, I fall in the middle grouping. I'm not saying it's a bad company to work for. Again, I am merely expressing my experience, and has been said many, many times before, I'm quite confident that people on this board have the ability to know what is best for them in a company and aren't going to let the posting of a few happy cheerleaders or a few disgruntled ex-employees be the basis for the decision what company to choose or not to choose.
All I am saying is that if you are the poster who feels that he/she can work whenever simply because it is inconvenient to work the shift you had committed to, please don't assume that I hadn't talked to management about MY issues and try to point the finger and make accusations about MY motives. This board is about the pros and the cons. Unfortunately for me, my circumstance falls in the latter grouping and I shouldn't be lumped into a group of people flaming or bashing and told it is unfair for me to speak about my experience when I have tried all other internal avenues to no avail. If my experience seems like flaming the company, there would be no flame if there was no ember to fan, so I should have that accusation pointed at me simply because I discuss it?? That is what's not fair, and since I did say I didn't want to argue, I'm not going to keep the discussion going with banter that gets heated or flamed to the point the whole string gets deleted. Thanks for your input and have a nice day. 
Applied twice recently to Med-Tech and they never replied. They pay 6-9 cpl and want 150 lph. nm
m
I see. You replied to a post asking about their pay scale. Nevermind. nm
nm
I replied and was hired for one of those positions. It is internet. Not sure about all sm
but at least the one I am on is ExText.
Same thing here, got the email and replied, and now NO contact from them
x
I appreciate the input, but they haven't replied to my resume...sm
even though I have 9 years of MT experience, 4 of that with hem/onc. I just don't get why they can't send even a blanket email out...that's better than being totally ignored. 
Med-Tech Resource from one of the banners here is in Marietta, 770. They never replied to me, but

I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
Hello??!! I'm the original poster! I think I can respond to the poster who replied to my original

To Before You Read This
Girl... you are absolutely right on target and now even after I read your comments, I never knew OSi outsourced. That to me is a SLAP in the face. And you are right about the promotions. I have applied for different jobs and told they were already taken. when they have a job available, they KNOW ahead of time who they are going to hire. and you are right about the "welcoming thing, saying welcome so and so, when we didn't know there was a job available Now that I know they ship work overseas, I am totally OUTTA here. And you are right again, you are NOT paid extra fo holidays, weekends, or shift differentials.
OSI........LOL....... read on.....
OSi will promise you the world if they want you bad enough. Then once they get you, the promises are null and void. I see where they are finally following through on their annual raises that they promised years ago that no one ever got....and FINALLY, a holiday incentive? Wow, they must really be desperate.......I worked for OSi for many years, gave them my all and got nothing in return except heartache in the end.........do what you want, but just be looking over your shoulder every inch of the way and get EVERYTHING in writing!
Don't believe everything you read. sm
Most are staying with MQ.
Did you read where it said
39 hour 7 day work week?? Does this mean we are being forced to work weekends? I only browsed through mine.
Don't believe all you read....
I had never even heard of MTStars when I was looking for my first at-home MT job. I would have never accepted the position I currently hold. Every time someone tries to encourage others to apply at "my company" the negative banter that follows only does more harm than good. Just wanted all to know you can't believe even half of what you read on here. Mostly just ex-employees of wonderful companies that couldn't quite make the cut.
Sorry, that should read SM above
nm
I can't read it.
In fact, I can't read any posts regarding Transcend. First time I heard of Yahoo even having a message board about them. If you can still access it, could you please copy and paste it and email it to me? I'm very interested in this, concerning the constant turnover & turmoil with that company. Thanks.
I cant read it either. NM
aaa
Read above! Read below. Just read!
nm
Please read....
This topic has come up before and this concerns me as well. I saved a post I did on this board a while back. It's edited a little but the message is the same. Here it is.
I've worked in many pathology departments, referral labs, and the like. And I'm here to tell you that there isn't a single pathologist that I have met that is willing to go with VR let alone outsource their dictation. NOTHING will convince me otherwise. As for radiology, I am seeing too much of it being outsourced to ever believe it will go totally VR. Besides, VR is an absolute joke! Y'know that old phrase? Garbage in/Garbage out? Well, there are many docs who have already found out that's just how VR works. Just TRY, and I mean just TRY and take out the human element out of the picture (meaning the transcriptionist) and you will have reports coming back that are even worse than what is coming back from India!!!!! A question here....a very serious one......don't you think that if VR was more effective in transcribing reports that all the companies outsourcing overseas would go with VR before they did that? Something to think about. I've been around since 1990 in this field and they have been saying that VR was going to replace transcriptionists back then. Well, here we are 15 years later and quite frankly, VR hasn't even made it past first base yet. The doctors, the naysayers if you will, the big companies, etc. will be trying to find anyway they can to save money, cut costs and so on and the bottom line is, it will NEVER HAPPEN. The Transcriptionist is here to stay. There is absolutely no way you can take the human element out of this picture and have the absolute best quality reports/charts/medical information system on the planet....PERIOD.
Read MSG
Thank you for noticing!! Yes I made typos.. there are LOTS of MTs that make typos on here. As long as Im not doing it on my accounts I don't really care. I DO make this much on ONE account. I charge 12 cpl GROSS. I do have one Transcriptionist who make about 15000/year, so yes deduct this off the 60,000. This is also PRETAX. I really should not have to explain myself. I knew I would get some posts like the ones I got. I will laugh all the way to the bank with my nice FAT checks, while these negative people struggle at their low paying jobs. :)
Happy New Year!!
You do not know how to read do you?
Who said I still worked there?? I specifically said the entire year I worked there. As in PAST TENSE!!!
read above on DRC
read all the notations
Read this:
http://www.mtstars.com/
second paragraph
And also on the main board at the very top read the sticky post embracing offshoring...
did you read it
Hmmm... and what fact did the other person have except to say she would stand by the owner....!!! And someone already working at a company of course what are they going to say? But everyone will find out for themselves. These are just differences of opinions! Simply that. If you don't agree move on. No big deal. And honestly that person is a cheerleader. Goodness sake.
I still have not read what the lie was. What was the lie?
I think the MTs should know what that was.
then don't read about it..everyone has a right
to an opinion.
as said above, if you don't like it, don't read it.
nm
It is something to read because....
People for some reason did not know how truly open SPi is on their website about their feelings toward US MTs. People were questioning that on this site last week. In case they didn't know...I wanted them to be able to read it for themselves.
Did you read right?
The pricing I read was 17 cpl for gross lines under 2500 lines per month. Most of my accounts do well over 10,000 lines per month which is only 13.5 cpl and that is very fair for large company. I charge 12.5 cpl but I pick up and deliver and print. And at that price it is hard to pay someone 10 cpl to type as you only get 3.5 to (I get 2.5) cover all of your expenses. Unless I read it wrong and if I did then please slap my wrist. Those 4 to 5 cents per line that a MTSO makes has to cover a lot of things and if you have a QA person on top of that then you make very little per line. That is why I stay so small as the more you grow and the more IC's you have the more headaches of coverage, quality and other things. Anyway just had to say what I read was 17 cpl for anything below 2500 lines per month.
I read that too
last week all of the financials were in process. Today, at least according to our daily report, it became official. I sincerely hope that this guy is true to his word, especially considering all, at least to me, the talk from our team saying how this is going to be a good thing and that they have not sold us down the river.
that should read get RID of the changes, sorry. nm

From what I read
They are probably backed up but I would leave the vet's name and number, telling them the vet will tell them what it is and if it was their product. That might carry more weight. Most likely every sick cat is being called about whether it is the food or not. Don't give up, vet bills are outrageous and they only take cash up front I know - been there - but after 2000.00 my cat lived (not this food crisis but a couple of years ago). Maybe your vet would call them that might carry more weight.
just read this
You must have posted at the same time I did.
This company is paying you when it is convenient for them. In other words, they are in trouble. Why do you want to stay with a company that does not value their employees? You deserve better.
Read the above again. nm
I read it again and (sm)
it sounds to me like you are saying people have to edit offshore, or send it offshore, or whatever you mean to get a paycheck, and what I am saying is there are other companies to work for.
Have you read.........
Everything about them on this page?????
Please read before considering the Q
I left MQ after 14 years of dedicated service. It is a horrid place to work these days imo. There was such a lack of work the last year I was employed and yes, I do all work types and high ESL as I am very experienced. US MT/MEs are given the bottom of the barrel in work and even I had trouble with the dictator's speech barriers. Not just the lack of work but the low pay. Was told I would never get another raise, kept losing supervisors, had to work nights and weekends, unindated with stupid e-mails then no reply when questions asked to supervisors, and on and on. MQ likes to keep their employees in the dark about just about every decision until the last minute. You should check out the MQ Board and you'll see how unhappy so many are. I got out about a month ago and am so happy with my new place. Bottom line - MQ cares out their Indian and Vietnamese employees before their US of A and that was my boiling point! Good luck with your decision.
