I thought AllType offshored?

I have spent the last hour doing research on offshoring of medical transcription.  This is one of the sites that I found and now they do our taxes and legal stuff too?  Some of the ones I found also offshore to Russia and China!  Check this link out and look to the right of the page to see what else they are doing.  They even listed some of the MTSOs and will sell you articles and information on their plan of action or whatever they call it.

I was part of a package that Transcend purchased. We were all assured there would be no changes, which was initially true for several months........then the massive offshoring became more and more noticable. One account would have hundreds of jobs in the evening; at 5 AM there was nothing left and if there were any jobs available they were  very difficult dictators. 

It got to a point where any audible dictator was offshored and there were no decent dictators left. You also had to be flexible waiting for work. Sometimes you would have to wait 4-5 hours for jobs to be available. Then your health insurance was revoked for not meeting your quota.

My advice is  that you have no choice, give them a try. Maybe your luck will be better. If you do have job currently, I would not consider changing.

Good luck!

Any info on Allltype regarding tech help, flexibility, TA+ platform, good line counts, organized, PTO, etc...good, bad and ugly

Thank you

I obviously can't know who is doing the posting of e-mails regarding ALLTYPE's pilot quality assurance program, but those of you who want accurate answers, I invite you to write to me (gkelly@alltype) or call me directly 800-560-8973. 

I will attempt one last time here to set the record straight.  Let me first acknowledge that I understand the anxiety that comes with moving from hourly pay to production pay.  I remember when this happened in transcription in the 90s.  But, let's remember too, that hard-working, high-producing MTs who tolerated no interruptions in their work day actually saw an increase in pay, and other MTs paid a heavy price in loss of income. 

Moving quality assurance to production pay is keeping in line with the industry moving to speech recognition.  As I have stated in a previous posting, editors are full-time benefit eligible at 2000 lines reviewed per day (3 hrs 20 min of dictation reviewed). QA tiered incentives start at 2001 lines and go to 4 cents per line at 2500 lines reviewed per day. FTE editors get 80% paid health insurance, accrued PTO, holiday pay, overtime pay, monthly TAT bonus, and quarterly QA bonus.  This program pays a nice hourly wage.  For instance, at 3000 lines per day, 30000 lines in two weeks, editors make $13.59/hr.  At 3500 lines per day, 35,000 lines in two weeks, editors make $16.00/hr.  And remember ALL lines in every report are payable.  Three thousand (3000) lines per day is 5 hours of dictation reviewed in 8 hours, 3500 lines per day is less than 6 hours of dictation reviewed in 8 hours. And it is not necessary to do 100% voice-to-text relisten on all files. 

We have worked hard to take care of our editing staff, reward our star performers, and keep our model in line with the industry.  Thank you for the opportunity to provide this information.

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for some feedback on AllType.  Does anyone who has or is still working there recently have any information?  I finished a test with them this weekend, so I am just waiting to see how I did, but before I jump into a boat that might sink would you help me please?     I hope you all have a wonderful day today and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Nissa Landry

Rudest, clickiest company I've seen in years.  Will never recommend them.

I'd love to hear the good, bad and ugly on Alltype. I've been offered there Sun-Thurs 11 p.m. - 7 a.m. Production + Hourly positions, and everything sounds great... almost too great. Have until Monday to take it or leave it. Anyone?

A coworker of mine just started with them. Great pay per line. She works eight hours fri-sun but gets paid for an extra eight. She said they are very nice and she is thrilled.
