If you do not want to play the game, just ignore the e-mails. Or, you may find another company is better for you. No sense being miserable.

I strongly disagree with you.

Strongly disagree. Maybe 17% but not 27% for sure!

strongly disagree
and I'm not a newbie at radiology either
Strongly disagree
First of all, yes, they bought M-Tec -- now -- why would a company buy a school? I wonder what they pay students to do transcription. If one has 200 transcriptionists and buys a company with 100 students....how would the transcription be divided? Would they give the hardest transcription to the students?
She did not say she cares what happens to Transcend, just making her point.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
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.
Transcend sent the employees....sm
an e-mail stating that they're planning to embark on a TEST PILOT with an offshore vendor for a very minimal amount of reports. This doesn't mean that the company will definitely decide to go that route permanently. Also they didn't state what country it would be -so those below guessing India may be wrong because there is transcription going out to other countries as well by various companies.
The company could have not said anything to the employees and no one would have known. Instead they chose to be open and honest and some people on the boards here want to knock an employer that is honest. They could have chosen to try to hide it like some of the others have.
I prefer up front honesty as opposed to behind the doors dealings any day with any company.
Hello Transcend employees
I did the testing today and received a response. I have an interview this week and am very excited to hear what a stable company this is after reading the posts. If the insurance is pretty good, not too high of a premium, I'll be extremely happy! I applied for an eScription account, read that platform was good (yay).
How many employees does Transcend have? I have heard
3000 and 5000 and now 300. Does anyone know?
Transcend's longtime employees
Ive read here that Transcend has a lot of employess who have been there a long time, they must be doing something right?  I see a lot of negative here about Transcend and so I am trying to even that out a little bit. Also they do not offshore. I wonder if the unhappy MTs from Transcend were MTs who didnt work there long and did not give them a chance? Thoughts? 
Current Transcend Employees
Would you refer a friend to Transcend at this point in time as one of the best to work for as far as nationals go? Why or why not?
Question for Transcend employees (not ICs)
Is Transcend flexible about schedules for full time employees? I want to work full time as an employee (not an IC, which I had thought I would try, but don't want the tax hassle), but I can't have a schedule that I have to be nailed down to (like 8 to 4 every day) - I will work my required hours per week, but I'm in college and my schedule changes every semester so I need to be able to go with the flow. Any feedback?
Transcend gave the employees....sm
1. A gift card.
2. A card signed by the president, vice president and others in the office.
3. An announcement today about a matching 401(k) program starting in 2007.
Current Transcend employees - how about (sm)
their platform? Is it anything like DocQScribe or is it like Dictaphone ExText?
Also, I understand there are schedules but is there any flexibility? Do they work with you if you need to change times for unexpected events, etc.?
Is the work pretty constant? I know it fluctuates greatly this time of year, but am speaking generally.
Any other info appreciated. E-mail if you wish.
TIA
Question for Transcend EMPLOYEES
I am trying to be optimistic and am looking forward to having benefits. I have not had benefits in YEARS...I also would love to have employee status with all my taxes taken out. Here is my concern... I cannot seem to get a clear answer on the pay scale. All I hear is that it depends... so many variable. Well, I know this. Some people need more insurance than other, etc., but what is the average cpl for straight type and what is the average cpl for VR. I do not see why that is so hard to answer. I know my pay will decrease automatically just due to the taxes being taken out that I am not used to and I assume that I will be paying for what ever insurance I get out of my paycheck as well, so why else would Transcend decrease my pay rate? Like I said, I am trying to have hope here and not panic, but I have bills to pay and I am not sure just how much I can afford to be an employee and have benefits even if I do want them.
Thanks in advance.
Employees got a letter. Transcend is always first to come on here and deny
anything that is said that is not true. They are being very quiet about it. I also got one of the letters saying they are using an offshore trial. Do not know what the tie is being the moderator of this board and Transcend is, but sure looks like she does not want to apply the same standards to them that she does for other companies.
But I thought all Transcend employees had to work
That doesn't make sense. I could see that a lot of domestic MTs don't want to work 3rd shift and they need the coverage, but if all employees have to work at least 1 weekend day, there isn't much dictation over here on 3rd shift except for the occasional stats. It would seem they wouldn't have enough work to keep the overseas MTs going. I can't see an overseas service staying in business when they're only getting a few stats on each account for a couple hours on the weekend.
How is Transcend/MDI's medical insurance plan for employees?
Thanks
Current Transcend employees...what type of lines...sm
What type of line counts are you getting as far as VR on the Beyond Text platform? I am rather new and not getting a very good line count and was wondering if there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have gone through all the resources on the main website to help enhance line count, but not seeing much of a difference. Thanks.

It does, however, provide additional opportunities as
we become a larger and more meaningful company. MDI was attracted to Transcend
because Transcend is widely recognized as the best company in the industry. MDI
is also very excited about Transcend’s technology, speech recognition successes,
and broad capacity to deliver services on a large scale.
This is a company big on VR. Hope you like it.
Merry Christmas to you too! I think it is great that Transcend sends out gift cards to employees.
I wonder how many other companies do that. Let's see, with over 1000 transcriptionists that is 25,000.
Again, thank you Transcend!
Sorry, that's good to know. I was told strongly by MQ
nmj
I strongly agree and am not a recruiter either
specialty, then you will not have a problem with radiology. Radiology usually consists of a lot of normals (templates) and also like the other poster says redundant terms.
It's funny because my first MT job was radiology, and then I expanded into other diagnostic areas and learned some acute care along the way being in a hospital!
I would strongly advise you to reconsider
Please read all the archives here... too much to mention and the messages tend to get removed by the administrator because they are so bad. In a nutshell extremely unqualified management in most cases, promote friends and newbies to positions like team leads and QA, inconsistent and wrong QA half the time, on and on and on. Please don't bother with them. I promise you that you'll regret it if you do. Please read the archives here.
If you were my daughter, I'd strongly recommend SM
you go for it. Furthering one's level of education is an extremely wise move for anyone, you're ultimately setting a good example for your children, and a degree in nursing can be taken many directions, including right back home to type for a while if needed (but the Walmart option so many here seem to seriously consider will never need to be among them!).
Not recruiter but I do feel very strongly
you do not have the ability to be a transcriptionist, do not think you have the background, think you are evasive with your answers and think you are trying to appear such but don’t have the background training nor the job training. You said the first group very localized to acute care but you had trouble with other specialities and acute care is just that, all specialities. I think you are just blowing smoke to tell you the truth.
I strongly DON'T recommend Softscript
to anyone. Maybe they seem so good to you because MQ was so bad, but that doesn't mean they're good compared to other companies ;)
years ago (2001?) someone strongly steered me away from TRX Portland...she hated it. But that's h

Who cares?
I can't even believe that all of you are wasting your time talking about how to spell the stupid word anyway. Don't you have something better to do with your time than argue about how to spell a word that really ISN'T a word? GET A LIFE!!!
WHO CARES
NM
NOBODY CARES!!!!
Enough already. Do you have enough work now? I am flooded with work for over 3 weeks now (not complaining, love it).
Who really cares..? I don't!!!. nm

who cares
17 yrs exp. and nobody cares
I'm so sick of seeing ads requiring mega years of experience in multiple specialties, working knowledge of various platforms and every conceivable toy already installed on your computer only to find out the pay is entry-level at best.
Here we go again … who cares? nm

Look out for #1, who cares about anyone else.
Sigh. Thank goodness our forefathers weren't as selfish as we've become.
Nobody cares where you work or what you think.

who cares if they are in india
i heard good things about them
But who really cares? Anyone that has been in this business
knows it takes awhile to get back to people!!!!! If every company came on this board to read their stats, it would be full of stats. Do we really want to see them? If we do, I urge Transolutions, Transcend, Medware, every company that posts to come to this board and say all this. Do we really want to know. The board would be full of statistics. Do we care? No!
Like who the heck cares if she is one or not?

CMT according to AAMT, who cares?
I attended the best MT school in my area in 1971. It was held in a very large medical center with a R.N. supervisor as the instructor for our medical subjects and an English/Business teacher who taught medical office procedures,health, etc. We saw autopsies, learned to give injections and take BPs. We did rounds with doctors during our internship. We worked in the field in this hospital in at least 9 different areas, doing medical transcription, and were graded by the department supervisor at the end of each term. This on-hands medical training gave us the absolute best when it came to understanding what what we were transcribing. At the end of the course, we were given CMT pins and diplomas and I have considered myself a CMT ever since, which is a heck of a lot longer than the AAMT has been in existence! I do not care about any list they have compiled nor do I care about a $300 test they give so you can become certified. That means nothing to me. I have my excellent training and over 35 years of experience, as well as my diploma stating I am a certified medical transcriptionist, and that is what I am.
really who cares if you have nothing to hide?
now if they are delving into your personal life then thats another story, thats just plain nosey. But a criminal background check is not a bad idea.
You know what everyone? Who cares if you're a CMT or not...
If you're good, you're good. If you're not, then oh well. I make $21 (yes, $21) per hour PLUS incentive, and I'm not a CMT. So there. Get over yourselves. My goodness.
So what noone cares about my opinion? I am still

Managment cares
The upper management, and I mean the administration, lets you know they really care and they admit that it is the MTs that are the backbone of the company. They let you know you are appreicated.
who cares if they're mgt ?

Who flippin' cares?!?!
For the people who don't like what she does, guess what? You don't have to work for her. If you're tired of seeing her job ads, guess what? Use your scroll bar and move past it. But please, stop creating thread after thread about her company. It's getting really old... and it's so pointless.
Who ASKED? And WHO CARES ..nm
who cares? Put your energy into sm
something else. If you have ever had a business you would know that the half that you think they are keeping is NOT their profit! They have to pay self-employment taxes just like you do on the money coming in, overhead, etc. Dont waste so much time worrying about it. You are gonna get an ulcer! GEEZE!
