I worked for MediVoxx

In Reply to: I want to get opinions about this testing process I'm in the midst of... - SM
I worked for them briefly about 3 years ago. Although I do not remember the transcription portion of the test to be that long, I do remember that there were so many steps in the process that I never thought I was actually going to start work. I got done with them rather quickly because their VR software was the worse I have ever seen. I ended up having to retype the entire reports over. No way was I going to get paid a low VR rate and have to retype the entire documents. Although things may have changed since then, you may want to keep that in mind.

MediVoxx?
Does anyone have feedback on MediVoxx?
About MediVoxx
Never went with them myself, but from another MT, very nice people to work with, low rates to start, and she was editing voice recognition reports. That's all I know.
Medivoxx
Does anyone have information on this company? I have an interview tomorrow with them. I am a new grad, and I really would like to get a position. Thanks.
Medivoxx
I know there was a posting recently about this company, but I cannot seem to find it now. The position they have is for a MT/editing position using VR. I am not too familiar with this, so if any one has info on it I would appreciate it. One of my concerns is how many lines per day doing editing VR work produces? Another question I have is if anyone else out there does VR work, is it worth it? Thank you all.
MediVoxx
Does anyone have any new info on MediVoxx? I recieved an application from them, but I am not sure if I want to do it or not. Please if anyone has some recent info let me know! Thank you!
Sincerely,

I applied with them several weeks ago. They tell me every week that they hope to get more information to be by the end of the week. Has anyone else had a similar experience or have any information on them.
Thanks
Medivoxx
Yes I have had that experience with them. I bugged them every day and I got put off every day. They take forever. And it is true they do a lot more testing after the initial test. I ended up failing one to the later tests they gave me.
Medivoxx
I've been waiting on them 3 weeks to respond to my application ... haven't even tested yet! Supposedly they're short-staffed - which is really depressing.
Medivoxx
The application requires the applicant to fill in "compensation desired (be specific)". I was receiving 6.5 cents per line. The lines were not character driven but rather carriage return determined. I know I would make a lot less at this rate with a character driven line so I would want to ask higher than that, and I do know there is usually a different rate for editing. Can you tell me what the going rates are for each type of transcription, and what I should realistically put here. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

Does anyone or has anyone ever worked for Medivoxx? I was thinking of applying there. I know I have heard you start out at 3-1/2 cpl at training for VR and then after training it is 5 cpl for VR. I think that is all they do is VR. If they paid 5 cpl for VR would it be worth it since it isn't straight transcription?
MediVoxx
Does anybody know about MediVoxx? Anybody ever worked for them or know somebody who has worked for them?
I am testing with them and I am just wondering how they are to work for. Is the pay on time? Is their pay scale fair?
I checked the archives and a lot of people have asked, but there doesn't seem to be anybody who has worked for them that has responded. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Is this Medivoxx? nm

MediVoxx
That sounds exactly like what I am doing right now. I have gone through that whole process. I turned in my 12 dictations yesterday and they went to QA. I kind of thought the same thing, but these notes were dated 08/2003, so they were very old files. If they would have been dated Sept 2009 then I would have been more suspicious.
He said as soon as he heard back from QA that he would send me back an email hopefully with an offer.
So, did you do the last set of dictations? I had 12 total. 8 wav docs for one doctor and 4 wav/4 dss for another one, but the wav/dss files were the same, so it ended up being 12. The samples they sent to me seemed inconsistent. I didn't like that. They also don't follow BOS, which I don't like. I'm still hopeful though.
Any experience with MediVoxx? nm
Info on Medivoxx
I do not currently work there, but I can tell you what I know.
You have to transcribe one dictation and fill out a long application. Then, take two more tests. One is for grammar and the other is spelling and definitions, etc.
After that, you get a phone interview. Then you have to sign agreements and type more files for them, which can take up to two weeks (without pay.)
Then, if you qualify, you are hired as an entry level MT editing voice recognition documents. The pay is 35 cpl for one month or until they feel you are ready.
At that point, you become a one pass MT/editor for VR files, starting at 5 cpl. They do give raises (up to 75 cpl) and bonuses.
I'm in the final process of being hired right now.
Anyone currently working for Medivoxx?
Is anyone currently working for Medivoxx out of Louisville, KY? Thanks!
Any info on Medivoxx
Anyone working for Medivoxx? I checked the archives but there really was not that much info to go on. I have never done VR so I would like to know about this before accepting a position. If there is anyone working for them how many lines do you edit in a day?. The pay is low 3.5 to start while trained. Is this worse than just typing? I have done straight typing for 5 years. I have lost all my physician accounts to India and then worked for a hospital for only 5 months being laid off due to shortage of work, so I do not want to play around with another company. I want to stay put for a while.
Thanks for all information.
is there ANYONE who works for medivoxx???
I posted a message on the main board about the QA at my company and I just feel like I am going to get canned. Like I explained in that post, the QA is very controversial. Some do it this way, some do it that way, and I never get a clear answer on anything. I also pull up completed reports as samples and will follow it that way, and it still gets marked wrong. The QA supervisor isn't really any help. I just feel like they are looking to get rid of people now because their workload is really slowing down. But ANYWAYS, even though I have 7 months of experience now, I am thinking maybe I should just get a job at a company that is known for hiring newbies such as Medivoxx or Focus Infomatics. The company I am at now is just making me feel like I am not doing a good job. So any info on these companies or any others would be appreciated. Thanks. 
Any info on Medivoxx?
Does anyone know anything about this company?
Medivoxx is offshoring
This once wonderful company has been taken over by aliens, and I only wish it was the outer-space kind. On behalf of those currently being bent over and the clients that are being lied to, do what you do best my friends. Spread this news like wildfire. 
Did anyone do the MediVoxx test?
Did anyone test with this company or know anything about it?
Lartech Healthprime/MediVoxx
Has anyone ever worked for Healthprime or MediVoxx?
Well, Medivoxx's HR people need to be fired
it sounds like. That's CRAZY. No company in my 20 years has made me jump through hoops like that & transcribe that many 'test' documents. You can tell from a couple of reports & maybe a multiple choice questionnaire if the candidate has experience or not - not to mention checking references... I guess I will cross Medivoxx off my list until they learn how the MT hiring/testing process works.
Anyone here working for Medivoxx that can share experience with them? nm

Any information on Medivoxx - answer here or by email nm

Shapin, Execuscribe, MedScribe, QED, Encompass, Medivoxx Anyone?
Has anyone worked for Shapin, Execuscribe, MedScribe, QED, Encompass, or Medivoxx. Just wondering the good and bad of each company.
Spheris does what? I've just got done testing for MD-IT. I heard they bought out MediVoxx in Lo

I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40. I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed. However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws. I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary. Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad.
Glad it worked for you. I have worked for companies
that were more reliable and paid without the delay I had. Maybe you started before they started doing that but it makes no difference. I TOO am a single parent.
You are not trying to argue? Sounds like you not only are trying to argue but you are just waiting for anyone to post anything about the co on here so you can just get out there and respond, which seems to be the way I have always noticed it. It's like all the MTs or whoever that work there are just waiting to respond.
This board is about the good points and bad points about companies. I am telling my experience.
The people were nice people though, but my experience was not a good one and I will not say it was.
I can go a week after the end of payday and even 10days later but that's it. Kids would starve.
Best company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for a lot!
I can't believe some of the things these people say here, and have to wonder if it just the same person or two bashing. I have been at MDI for four years and I do not have a low workload and I get treated very, very well.
They one I am not sure of. I have always worked FT for them. I have worked both IC and employee
and I always did way over 12,000 a pay peroid. I am sure they are pretty comparative to other companies. You definitely could contact a recruiter by applying if they would answer all of your questions up front. Good luck.
Worked for both
They both have their pros and cons. MedQuist is poor at communicating with their staff. Keep you in the dark, but they leave you alone and let you work. Spheris, on the other hand micromanages every minute of your time. If you stop to go to the bathroom without signing out, your phone will be ringing within 5 minutes with your supervisor wanting to know where you are. They are much better at communicating and support, though. You just have to pick your poison.
I worked for both MQ and S.
MQ SUCKS!!!! Spheris has better training, no rental fees on equipment, management and trainers who actually know what they're doing, a decent platform, and better pay. Those jerks at MQ threatened via $30 Fed Ex envelope to sue me for the equipment I had already mailed back to them, and I had proof of it with UPS tracking confirmation. And no, I never got fired from there. Besides all that, S isn't involved in any lawsuits and hasn't been delisted from NASDAQ like MQ has.
When I worked at MQ
Their "clinic work" was from Emory University and very, very difficult. It was in their clinics that they did drug studies, cancer research, surgeries, AIDS research with lots of ESL residents and doctors. It isn't like a nor doctor's office "clinic." They don't tell you that when you take the job.
worked for both
cherry picking (MDI) and they have to know what you are doing all day (TSI) "WHERE ARE YOU, WHY AREN'T YOU TYPING?"
OK, I worked for a different TSI.
I don't know about that one. I work for a very small MTSO with fewer than 20 MTs. It's my fit, but I'm not going to name names on the boards.
Worked for both.....
I worked for Spheris a while ago, they were very unprofessional in my opinion, disorganized and really didn't pay well, communication was almost nonexistant. My manager never even introduced herself and just really had a bad attitude in her email, which was her only contact.
I started with OSi about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. Their platform is very easy to use and highly productive. I have never run out of work, pay is always on time and they are very flexible. I am completely happy with them.
worked for them?

This Worked For Me
You sound like you are in the shape I was in about 5 years ago with my hands. My doctor recommended high doses of Magnesium with smaller doses of Vitamin B6 with it. I took 2600 mg (all at one time) of Magnesium every day with 200 mg of B6. Within 3 days my pain was COMPLETELY gone and I've never had to wear braces again! Of course, I no longer take those incredibly high doses of magnesium daily, but I do stick to about 1000 mg a day with a 100-mg capsule of B6, and I've remained pain-free all this time. Good luck to you!! And by the way, my friend works e-bay as her full-time income and seems to be pretty content with it. :)
Have you worked for them before?
Just wondering if you have worked for them before and know how bad the accounts are. I dont want to get into a bad situation.
who had it when you worked on it?
?
Has anyone ever worked as an MT
Just applied with temp agency who is hiring for MT work. Don't know what to expect. I will be giving up the at-home job to do this job. I think. Just wondering would it be less money and demanding line counts, etc. I think it's close to home.
Has anyone here worked for JLG?
nm
Never worked there. Don't know.
:)
I worked there I IM'd and
I never heard back from them and if I did it was hours after my message got sent. Duno what went on there.
I have worked both FT and IC
at home and currently working SE, but am changing to FT. We need the insurance. Since I want the option of working more extra if I need it, I have obtained a PT job and might change that to IC. I like the option of working more than 40 hours to achieve my financial goals.
I worked for them
Nice company to work for, always pleasant, and the pay was on time. I don't know if there is a website.
I worked for them and every
Had to call and beg for someone to send me something. It got really old. They have a person who patrols here and is well versed in trying to sound like an MT, but you can pick it out a mile away what she has written. And it's not DH. She is a good person. The other one I'm talking about, well, her head turns all the way around when she speaks.
