In Reply to: TransHealth testing - ....Wondering
right after submitting my test in regards to an oral test, which I did on Friday. The QA person I spoke to on Friday told me I tested extremely well and that I would get an offer by Monday. However, I was contacted yesterday by email saying that my 20+ years experience did not qualify me for their current openings.
Try calling them though. Who knows you still may have a shot. Good luck.

I got my invoice Thursday and sent it in Thursday. Guess you are special. Hip hip hooray. nm

I applied when they first posted. Not so much as an email in return after I tested.
I tested and did not pass and tested again 6 months later and passed. I think that more and more s
companies are testing MTs for various reasons.
You say that you work for them and keep posting. Why do you stay if you are so unhappy? I love my account and lead but it seems that you do not like being at KS at all.
Different strokes for different folks. Why continuously post compaints without doing anything about it?
Tomorrow being Thursday
I'd ask if you could give them an answer on Monday, unless they seem desperate to get you started right away and make an immediate offer.
Personally, I'd make sure I called WMX before the other interview so I'd have a better idea of how to proceed. If WMX isn't going to make an offer, you'll know going into the other interview and can feel free to accept whatever they may offer.
Let us know what happens :-)
yes very very busy will answer thursday NM

mine was cut as of last thursday but it started
this PP
my check was there on Friday, it usually is on Thursday which is early

It took over 2 weeks for me to get my response..but I did e-mail here again last Thursday and
finally got a response. As far as I know, they are not done yet with everyone's schedules so please try again. If not Lee, call or e-mail Martha or Becky or call your lead Transcriptionist and tell them. I know they are busy with the new insurance changes and Aflac coming on board but I would definitely try someone else in the office. Good Luck!
Oh my no! LOTS of work. Didn't have first 15 minutes of Thursday, but swamped outside of that. nm

Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
I tested
I tested, passed and so on, but by the time they called me it was 3 weeks later and I had already taken another job. They just seem a little slow to respond.
You must have tested with JLG
I tested with them too.
The test tape was definitely horrible, and actually isn't a fair way to test new MTs for any account. I had 2-3 blanks left in the end. All they told me about my results was that they were below their levels for employment.
I asked to see what mistakes I made and asked what my actual score on the test was, and they never got back to me with any results after I emailed them several times about it.
The test itself consisted of 20 questions and 10 reports to type. Who would think 2-3 blanks out of all of that would result in a no hire. I guess you have to be able to do that tape without any blanks or questions at all in order to pass and get a job with them.
Has anyone here ever tested for or
Just curious. TIA
I tested the other day too. sm
I talked to Amy, the VP, yesterday and she said that she had about 5 or 6 MTs who had submitted tests and she had sent them to her lead MT to be graded. She said that hiring as a priority so it wouldn't be too long before we hear anything.
I tested with them. sm
They offered me a job, 2nd and 3rd shift only, but never told me what they were offering as far as pay. When I asked her, she said that the first 2 weeks were 12.00 an hour and then after that your cpl pay would be based on speed and accuracy. It sounded like a trap to me. I wouldn't go with them if I were you. You could waste all that time training with them and then they could tell you that your speed and accuracy aren't up to par and only pay you 5 cpl.
Tested with them
I have not worked for them, but I tested for them. The test job I did was about 50 65-character lines long and at the per page rate they were offering it came out to 4 cents per line. Don't know if all the jobs would have been that long, but I got the feeling they would all be pretty long. For long reports you're better off getting paid by the line. So you've got to be careful in comparing your current pay to what they're offering.
A C-phone is a phone that you dial into a digital dictation system with. It has a footpedal and you can plug a headset in, and you just transcribe while listening to the dictation right over the phone line. It works real well.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Has anyone who tested with
Just curious...... 11 cpl was sounding pretty good. Oh well.... 
It has been a while since I tested and they may have
have changed files, but I didn't have any problem hearing them. Typically companies will put some of their worst dictation as tests, especially if they have a high percentage of ESLs. In the past there was a problem with scoring of the tests and it would mark things wrong that weren't, but I think that is fixed now.
I tested for them . . .
I called first, they told me to do 3.
Sorry, should be I tested with them......

I tested with them
approximately 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing back yet.
Have you tested yet?
I was not able to get the transcription portion of the test to cooperate. It was a blank box when I tried to type and I could not control the volume or speed. Is this typical?
Yes I have tested.
I didn't have that problem. I got an e-mail from them this morning with a preliminary interview form to fill out, and then they would schedule an interview.
I tested with them
I tested with them and never heard anything back, I got a 90% on the test, they said you had to have at least an 80%. When I e-mailed about a job, I never heard back from them. Weird and Rude.
I tested with them,
did great on the test, they asked me what my preferred schedule was, I answered, never heard back.
Sigh.
For those of you who tested for this
I am using my GearPlayer 4 and also have Sound Blaster but have had a very difficult time hearing the testreport1.wav file. The dictator is either turning away from the microphone or whatever he is using to dictate into or is a mumbler...sometimes he comes through loud and clear. I am having to leave too many blanks to do very well on this one. Would like to hear if it is just my old ears, or if everyone else is having a problem hearing this one too. Thanks.
I tested for them
If this is the Sten-Tel from Springfield, Massachusetts, then that is the company I tested for.
They tout how they will send you a detailed analysis of your test--just like you would receive from their QA service. However, I never received anything from them in that regard.
I did get an offer, however. But I did not even consider them because they never sent what they promised. I figured that if they were that sloppy with their testing procedures and broke that promise that they'd be even worse with their employment procedures. It could only get worse.
I tested with Axolotol - sm
At the time I tested I had 16 years experience .... INTENSIVE experience, and I am not tooting my own horn but I rarely make mistakes and I will research a blank to death before I finally give up on it ...and guess what - they told me I didn't have enough experience.
I tested/interviewed with them once, or tried to -
we scheduled a phone conference to discuss the opening they had no less than five times and kept having to reschedule it at the last minute - very irritating.
I tested and aced it, but it still took them
several days to call me. I did not attempt to call them though.
Has anyone tested through mttest.com? Thanks. nm

Has anyone tested with VoiceTranscription and sm
never heard back from them? She does not respond to emails. The test was a very, very easy dictation. TIA
Maybe I just got lucky, but has anyone else tested lately?
When I tested for the company I've been with for nearly 2 years, the transcribing section was absolutely horrid. To this day I still don't have a clue how I passed their testing. Four reports of the worst possible dictation I have ever heard in my career.
Then I test for a few places this week (just in case things don't turn around at my company) and I had 2 reports that were an absolute breeze. One was very, very long, but both were as good as you can possibly get.
I'm just wondering. Is this now part of the recruiting process to make it look as if their accounts were that easy, or did I just get plain lucky?
Anybody who didn't know any better would know that this is definitely not the norm.
Just a thought.
Would also like info as I tested before....sm
sent it back to the e-mail they requested, and never heard another word from them, no web address, no contact info....thought this was pretty strange, but now that I see they are hiring again, I think it's time to put the word out on this company so anyone with any info, please post! TIA
I tested with them and passed.
I got an e-mail from Cymed congratulating me and they would be in contact but I never heard from them since. That was about a month ago. My advice is if you plan on working for them you keep in touch with them.
I tested with them last week
I took the test a week ago with them. You can either test for Orthopedics or acute care. You have to log into their FTP to get the test files. They also send a word attachment with a fill in the blanks test. I sent my test back to them 7 days ago, and I have not heard a word back. I tried emailing them asking what was going on, and asked if they got my test, but still no response.
I tested for Execuscribe. Does anyone
know how long it takes to get results back?
And what's the difference in a 65-character line and a gross line???
I went ahead and tested.
Thank you for the info 
tested yesterday
I haven't heard anything back from them yet. So far, the experience has been very pleasant. Amy, who I believe is the VP, has been so nice and helpful. She acts like she really wants me to work for her rather than the take it or leave it attitude I have gotten from other people.
This is encouraging because I just tested with them. (nm)

I tested with them months ago.
They never specifically said how I did on their test, which was not medical transcription (in my case) but transcription of a phone conversation (not hard). I know I did well, though. I think you get put into a pool of freelancers and when they have work they contact you. I haven't heard anything since.
Not sure if they are Indian or not. I didn't get that impression but hard to tell sometimes. I know they have different offices around the country.
ANyone tested with Lee Perfect
That was a pretty long test, would hate to not hear anything back.
No, but I tested for them last week.. sm
Completed the test, but never heard back as to whether it was rec'd, results, or if pos'n was still available. I'm curious about them, too.
Seems a bit harsh. Obviously, since others have tested with no sm
problem, must be your issue. As I recall, the instructions say to call or email if you have any problems. Perhaps it is you who should READ.
Tested with SOAP
I liked the fact they only required 32 hours for insurance. I realized the cpl was probably a little lower but that somewhat made up for it. I was contacted to test with them a few weeks ago. I took the test (a long and very detailed test I might add with transcription portion and many multiple choice).
I feel I did reasonably well yet I never even heard a word back from them.? To me if someone took the time to take an hour long test at least they could do respond to the potential employee whether you passed it or not.
LOL! I tested for SOAP, too! nm

I just tested yesterday
I sent my resume some time ago, and was finally invited to test yesterday. I was told there were only 4 positions open. This company sounds like everything I've been looking for so my fingers are crossed.
Think I tested the next night. Thanks much. nm
