I do and would highly recommend
Always plenty of work, awesome communication, just an overall wonderful company. I'm going on 2 years with them and have never been happier! Good luck!
I highly recommend . . .
SPi-BPO.
You may have heard that they outsource, but what they actually do is hire people in other countries to do work in those countries.
From numerous conference calls of over 50 people just on my one team, I detected no non-US accents.
(I'm in NC, work out of the Richmond, VA office, and work for agencies in 10 different states.)
Anyway, I don't know what their experience requirement is (and I'm one of those ancient veterans with over 20 years' experience), and I can't seem to find out on their website, though the fact that it does NOT mention a specific experience requirement and the fact that the testing site mentions new grads, it would seem they're more interested in what you know than for how long you've known it.
I'd be surprised if the requirement is all that much because most of the work is disability, mostly psychiatric, some orthopedic, and therefore not so technically dense, if you will.
They even seem like if they do have a policy, they might make an exception if you test well.
Anyway, it's worth checking it out--you can test right on the website.
(Never out of work, very clear dictators, allow use of former reports as templates; full employee status, part-time and full-time, including great benefits--even a few, like 401k, for part-timers, like me; only hire actual MTs as managers, etc.)
Sorry to gush; I really am an MT and not a recruiter, but I've worked for so many lousy companies that it's good finally (again, after 20 years) to be able to highly recommend one.
(And now, in fact, I do need to get back to work--yes, at 1 a.m.--flexible schedules too.)
Check it out:

Good luck, Dawn,

I would highly recommend
them. Pay always on time and direct deposited. Work easy and also as long as you do your work in the required TAT, they basically leave you alone. I would say accept the position, as they are really good to work for. R
I took Webmedx's course, highly recommend it...
I've been an MT for almost 25 years, but was still quite nervous about the exam. The course helped to keep my attention focused on the task at hand, helped to keep me studying faithfully for the duration of the course until I took the exam. I tend to put things off until the last minute, so the weekly webinars & study materials were invaluable in helping me to study consistently and to stay focused on my goal. Also, I learned a lot! The CMT Review Guide showed me my weak areas, but I concentrated my study time on the Language of Medicine, the 2nd ed. BOS, and an anatomy & physiology text. Also read Human Diseases by John H. Dirckx, MD, but I'm not sure that was very helpful. In the Webmedx prep classes, you'll get a lot of very helpful information & handouts, and the review questions will force you into the books!
I cannot recommend Instant Text highly enough...
Here is a link to many many reasons why...

These will tell you why this program is the best thing that ever happened to my production.
Great company. Would highly recommend!!
Pays on time. Great owners. Very helpful. Nice software. Flexible schedules.
Amphion - I highly recommend this professional, fair company
Best of luck!

I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.
I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.
I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
You obviously think highly of yourself
I don't know about you, but I am young at 23. I don't sit with books in my face looking at punctuation. I don't speak correctly or think of things like that in a superior way. You think I proof replies to my supervisor? Think again! Do you think she proofs hers? Don't think so. I have seen typos time and time again, but would I criticise her? Absolutely not. It is just rude. Don't put yourself on a pedestel. It makes you look bad in a huge way. You have no right to tell me I am not ready for anything. If I feel I am and my supervisor sure does, what does that make you? Ignorant. You are just upset and try to belittle people to make you feel better about yourself. I play games, I talk to real people, I do normal things, and I do not proof every little thing that comes my way unless it is called for and posting a reply is not called for, in a chat room is not called for, and in an e-mail is not called for either. Personally, I don't care what forum this is to be honest. I don't care if it were the PROOFING FORUM and particularly don't care if it is an MT Forum. Just don't do it. It is not right. No one wants to be judged all the time. I came here for advice and support and it totally backfired. I think this place stinks. No one is consistent. I will look to my supervisor and coworkers for guidance and they have, I am sure, a lot more experience than most of you in the field and they don't act petty and full of themselves. You all should really be ashamed of yourselves.
I am not proofing any replies, nor will I ever. There is no need to unless you are paying me, are you? Didn't think so! So, please proof and keep them to yourselves or perhaps you are the proofer of this forum and are getting paid? Didn't think so. It is a waste of your valuable time. Go get a friend and try not to grammatically correct them, k?
This is not even a place to make friends or to have someone to look to for guidance. This is like an animal war zone where people give crappy all over the place advice and instead of helping, make someone feel bad.
Good luck to all of you on this forum and I will not return. Like I said, I will turn to someone who actually knows what they are doing.
I don't need a raise so we are clear. I was just simply asking if it were ever done and then I opened a whole new can of crappy worms.
The Best Of Luck To All!
Proof Away and No Need To Respond.
Bye
That's why they are highly praised here. NM

Highly recommended by someone else...
another MT who I have a lot of respect for who worked for them as an IC in the past highly recommended them to me. Said the owner is great and the work is good. They didn't have what I was looking for at the time but I've kept them on my list for future reference!
QA is highly over rated anyway.
Wow! Is all I can say to this post. Who wants to be QA? Not me. I'd rather utilize my skills for the entire document, then fix others errors.
I highly doubt
I would really like the name of the VP that told you that. I don't believe that anyone at Transcend would tell you they were giving the easy work to the offshore people because that is all they can do.
I don't buy it.
I understand now, but I highly
left if they were all turned in to the IRS. They all pretty much treat ICs as employees and require line quotas, set hours (even though they say flexible), and often times that you be logged into a messenger of some sort to clock you. I just went through it, and it was sooooooooo not worth it. At 8.5 cpl, they can have their messenger and their set (but flexible) hours. It's almost uncanny how we are treated more like children than either employee or IC, for that matter. 
highly subjective
I think work loads are subjective and differ from person to person (account to account). I was hired to do a particular clinic and it was lost. Now I am scraping for work - many days sign on and no work available with repeated request for a replacement account and told there are none. So it really just depends. Some people seem to have adequate work loads and others are struggling with no work. Inconsistent.
MDI-MD does, and they are highly thought of unless
you want to work the PRN program which allows you to work at 7 c a line anytime you want. Of course, they say regular schedule is 1 day a weekend, and 24 hours turn around, no schedule, but the fact is they expect you to meet your line requirement, so you sit there 24 hours a day scraping for the lines. Due to overhiring, I am assuming. TAT and all. I'd rather have a time I know the work will be there at 8 c a line rather than overhiring and my scraping. Of course 7 cents a line for anytime you want is about the same. Pick and choose what you like. But as an IC they don't have to promise you work to be there at all. It's in the contract. Perhaps this company wants you to work a shift so they don't overhire for coverage. That is my take on things having been there, done that.
Anyone work for Breitner. They keep sending me an email to work for them. What
do you know about this company at present.
As an Andrews grad, I highly
I felt well-prepared when I got my job and never regretted having paid top dollar for my training; as with many things, you truly get what you pay for. In fact, many of the national companies prefer Andrews grads or M-Tec grads as the previous poster mentioned and as a newbie you will need every advantage. Good luck to you.
I doubt very highly its TransTech
After all she said she could use Ctrl I to view sessions statistics but Transtech disabled the ability to use that function.
I speak highly of TransTech, too.
Why would you leave such a great company that offers so much and that you were so pleased of and speak so highly of after you left.
I highly doubt these companies are running in the
The other thing is you don't really see the invoicing that goes to the client. You are paid for what you transcribe. No one knows what the company is really charging the client. The client could be paying for spaces, but the company is not paying the MT for spaces, etc. There are all types of scenarios. The MT takes the hit, but if you are an MT that has had your own accounts, then you've been there and done that. With your own account comes more responsibility. So it sometimes tends to even out. Others have posted this that it is not so easy to take a week off when you are maintaining your own accounts. Isn't it so much easier to let an MTSO know you need a week of vacation, come back to work, and everything be just hunky chunky?
I highly doubt that it was someone in management posting. sm
They have other ways to communicate with their employees. It bothers me that employees post questions that should go to the office or their lead but still post on here. Go to the source. I work for KS and when I ask a question to my lead, I get an answer not a guess.
I worked for one of the highly touted companies sm
and it was GREAT...until they went overwhelmingly to voice and took entirely too much work away from the traditional MTs to give to voice. This was after they told us it was a CHOICE, but little by little they are forcing the issue with their MTs. It is NOT a choice! They are APPEAR to be somewhat overstaffed at this juncture.
I need to keep my insurance and I do have the belief that this company will come to their senses and nix so much voice. I could be full of it, but I really think they will. They are a hop and a skip from the hospitals complaining because the editing is EXTREMELY poor on the part of the MTs doing it. Time will tell. You will note, this is not bashing the company so much as bashing poor MTs who can't actually do the job put in front of them.
My solution was to go and find another job at a place that didn't want to go to voice at all. I posted my resume on another site and within 24 hours, I was contacted, hired within 48 and scheduled for setup/installation within 72. We are working on some issues, but this seems to be a very nice small to medium company. They are only offering IC, but that is fine since I have the above as well. They are willing to give me all I can stand of what I want and have voiced being pleased to have found me. It is I who am pleased to have found them.
With the state of affairs in America right now with layoffs and what I believe is a deep recession and/or another depression on the horizon, I DO FEEL VERY FORTUNATE to have ONE job and I have TWO. I don't know any other profession where someone who is looking for a job finds one within 24 hours! It has happened to me the last 4 times I looked for work, PT or FT. You betcha I know I am lucky.
Up until now they only hired highly experienced, top-notch
MTs. But, with their recently and drastically-lowered pay scale, that will likely change, and Acusis will become a company of newbies and Indians. Just like the other mega-MT companies out there.
I highly suggest you contact support. AGAIN we are backlogged.
DUH!
I highly doubt that. This is obviously a rumor. She is much too busy to bother. nm
nm
Did any of us who left emails hear back from the MT who was highly recommending her
s
Bravo! Great post. I left TT but I will always speak very highly of them.
nm
I left MQ after years and went with a highly rate company on this board (sm)
my account has dried up and I am constantly out of work now...same with backup account. I like the company I'm with and don't want to leave but I HAVE to have a steady account. I realize there are slow times of the year but on this account they have overhired and now it's low a lot of the time.
Can you email me and tell me where you work?
Anyone work for HDS? Email me.
nm
I currently work there. You can email sm
me if you'd like.
psharman@clarks.net
Please tell me where you work here or email me
thank you
Please email me where you work at
I have not been with OSi for long and wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt after reading the things said about them but when I got the email I was very surprised and this just makes me want to find another job where this type of stuff doesn't happen. I find it hard to believe that OSI would promote someone fresh out of the mentor program to a management position but I read the email with my own eyes.
email me if you want - i currently work there. sm
i found them good to work for. i am assigned work daily from same acct, but not necessarily in a pool. mostly same dictators.
I work for them currently. You may email
me with any questions.
It's exactly like the email from where I work
So no, there's nothing confidential or sensitive in this post at all.
I work there, but cannot send an email.
How can I help you
Looking for oncology work - please email me. NM

I tried the email again and it didn't work, so
I'll just post it here. Maybe if you email me it might be easier.
Hi Fatcat,
I'm trying this email again and hope that it gets to you. I'm an IC at MDI too and I have 2 accounts that both have no work today. I've been considering taking on another job part-time, but most of the ads are for full-time or for ICs where they set a schedule for you.
I just wanted to ask you if you know of companies that will hire ICs part-time and allow for a flexible schedule? Also, how do you juggle the second IC position when most require a Saturday or Sunday and that's when most of the MDI work comes in? I'm so afraid of taking on a second job and then finding I'm over my head.
That email address did not work?
Could you email me and let me know what the email address was that you used to send your resume to.
thanks
If you read the email she sent about 2 weeks ago - more work by 01/23/06. nm

Yes ... just looked again at the email I receievd ... 8-1/2 cpl. I just can't work for that. sm
