If they offered employee status, I would be glad to test for them, but not IC status for $14 per hr.

I applied once and received information
I believe it is $15 per hour. There are no benefits. It is independent contractor. The platform is Dictaphone Extext.
I received the test files Sunday
The dictator is extremely fast and mumbles. Not worth it in my opinion. I emailed her back and politely declined after listening to the files.
Received their test as an attachment but could not open it. Tried twice and gave up.

I thought I had read in their material
before they took it off their website that they don't pay the MT until they get paid from their client. No way would I work for that type of pay plan.

She sounds like future SUIT material, to me.

Well, goodie for you, Flo! I'd be happy if I was Dairy Queen drive-through material
job for which I'm no way qualified to be in too.
Congratulations! Glad you're happy!
Back-stab, manipulate - YES ! Dairy Queen material - NO !

Platform a bit slow, loads of material to know on each acct, they overhired
for the acct they put me on, so I sit and wait for work to roll in. They gave me a secondary acct, but again I wait. I think some are happy there, I might be if they didn't overhire and they beefed up their platform to move a little quicker.
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
Anyone know anything about Global Information Systems? Any information would be appreciated. nm
Is the test through mttest.com a timed test? Thanks. nm
MedScribe Information Systems, Inc - Information please?
Anyone with information on this company?
I received one of those once-sm
I read through the whole thing before realizing what the heck this applicant was doing. At first, I thought she accidentally sent me some patient's report!
Yup, you definitely should have received it. It's on 2/29 at 2 PM CST
I would contact Vicky in the office if you never received the e-mail because it is a mandatory conference.
I received from
the old payroll company but not the new.
Any MDI-MD MTs received W2's?
I had mine by this time last year, just wondering if anyone else has rec'd theirs yet, and if I should check into it...
No. The only letter I have received is the
September 2nd letter announcing the upcoming Rewards Plan.
Yes, if ASR pay is being reduced that is a pay cut. It is A pay cut. The above post made implication that there was a pay cut across the board, "... the pay cut ...".
I just don't see a need to be careless with that kind of assumption.
I have received nothing about the ASR reduction. However, I do not do ASR and it may have only gone to those MTs.
At least you received a reply! SM
I tested almost two weeks ago and still no word. I find a lot of the companies just don't ever get in touch anymore. That's just rude! 
You already received 3 answers below .. maybe that's all there is? nm

received the email, nm
received the email
I received the e-cards as well - sm
I'll bet we have the same liason! I really like her and thought it was very thoughtful of her to take the time to do this.
I have never really received more money for it BUT if you want to do
it for yourself, do it! I have been able to get other jobs other than MT just by having it because whether or not it means anything to other MTs, it always looks good to have a professional credential after your name if you are in any kind of mentoring position, QA, or management. I wanted it because I wanted to expand what I did and even though it might not have been required, it looks credible. Nothing wrong with doing it for yourself for no reason at all. It is a difficult test and to take it and pass it makes you feel good inside. Some companies do pay a differential per line or for doing QA can reap you more per hour. Again it is a personal choice and no it does not make you a better MT but it certainly makes you feel like you have accomplished something. We need things like feelings of accomplishment in what we do for a living. It's the only credential our field offers and I see nothing wrong with wanting to get it. Go for it and good luck.
I also received a computer
today and will be starting soon. I am really looking forward to it. So far, everyone has been very professional and kind. I like the fact that they take the time and go through the expense of mailing a professionally done packet of new hire paperwork and then providing the means for you to send it back to them via fed ex. Most companies email you tons of attachments that you have to use up a ton of ink to print out...then they expect you to fax it all back...which if you don't own a fax, you have to pay lots to fax 10-20 pages. The company seems very organized. They even sent FedEx labels for me to keep just in case I have to return the equipment for any reason. I hope that things continue to go well and hopefully, I have found my home.
I know that Spheris offshores however, I feel that US MTs will always be in high demand, because there will always be hospitals/docs who refuse to have their work done by overseas MTs.
Has anyone who received the mass
emailing from Keystrokes received the promised phone call yet? I have not and am just wondering
I am one of a # of people who received SM
a check equal to about 4 months' pay from them for avoiding overtime pay. That is no rumor. That FACT was investigated by the Pennsylvania Dept of Labor and Diskriter was forced to pay out rightfully owed overtime pay because they repeatedly, verbally and in writing, demanded mandatory overtime and made statements that we were to only write in 40 hours for that week or face disciplinary action.
FACT. Not rumor.
Received the Same Offer
Do you mind if I ask who you work for?
Pay? Yeah right - you never received your pay.
Don't even go there - they cannot even pay on time or even let you know that it is going to be late - even when it is Christmas time of all times. They are very bad, disorganized and the rudest people ever. Stay far away.
I received a gift as well. s/m
I really appreciated it as I have only been working for this company for a few months. It's nice to be remembered at all.
I haven't received it. Please try again.

I received one this week
It had some interesting comments about hospitals and costs of transcription as well as pay for MTs not rising since 1998, which is what I had noticed more or less.
I also see one of their top people mentioned is a former supervisor of mine at MQ. She was very nice. Perhaps I'll apply there!
I havent received anything. nm

I sent resume and received no
invitation to test, response or acknowledgment.
So, if this is a scam, what is the catch? What would anyone want with a bunch of MT resumes? If it is a joke, I supose there could be some sick humor there, but what's the punchline? I still don't get the point of something like this.
I received mine.....
I had my computer before the phone call. I had to set it up before training.
no email received
can you provide more info?
This packet we just received is merely
supplemental ins. That is what AFLAC is; it is not a primary insurance coverage. They do have other insurance, from what I hear, and if full coverage is needed, you do need to talk to Vicki in the office!!! I hear it is kinda pricy, though...
Yes, I received my payment
Yes, I have received my payment as promised.
Has anyone received a TransTech W2 yet? I know
nm
a lot of us received an email
asking when we would be able to have an interview--NOTHING, NADA after that.
Has anyone from Transtech received their W2?
nm
I have not received by W2 yet from Spheris. Has anyone? nm

I received several e-mails sm
privately stating some of the same things the others had said. These e-mails are all from experienced MTs with 20+ years experience. I would agree with your post IF the e-mail I had gotten from the recruiter hadn't been worded so strangely. She was very very nice but it was obvious this was a problem with her higher up and she did not agree with it. Its ok but it does aggravate me that they are taking up so many MTs time with their testing and not being up front. I would rather they say they are slow than make up something. I can't say as I would feel comfortable working for a company that would lie up front. I am glad you have a great experience there though. Any job in this economy is a blessing! BTW from the time these posts were done yesterday until this morning, I have had a job offer I think I am going to take. Thanks for your post.
just received and accepted a sm
offer from Landmark Transcription. So far, they sounded most like the company that would fit me. i want to be an IC and only want part-time so it works for me. Thanks for all the tips everyone puts out there on companies. There is more positive about Landmark than negative. I am anxious to get starte again.
I received a call from someone
today who I thought was Landmark as I had sent them a resume some time back, and she said Landmark at the beginning of the conversation. Later on in the conversation I found out Landmark had given them my resume. It was for a place called Cornerstone in Wyoming. There are openings for ER accounts, Chartscript experience required. You might give them a try. Maybe that will help get you into Landmark though my wanting to work there has changed since I found out they are in the practice of giving (or selling) resumes.
The pay was pitiful (or so I thought) for an IC position (8 cents). They said they were flexible on the hours, but you had committed hours.
I can see how people take low paying jobs though if they need the experience, but it does effect the rest of us. These companies will keep going as low as they can. They have no bottom so pretty soon it will look like we are doing community service.
I received a reply this a.m. (sm)
However, they stated they are only hiring for second and third shifts at this time. Unfortunately, that won't work for me...
Good luck to you and congrats!
I received their info
I simply couldn't believe they start at 6 cpl. Why on earth would anyone even consider it? If they can pay on a tier system, they are making a big profit at 6 cpl. Their system equals nothing more than slave labor.
