In Reply to: You proved exactly how rude - wow
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.

some people can't help but be rude..
I don't really appreciate being described as promoting hocus pocus...I was just describing - very poorly I know - what happens to me and I know alot of others who use dictaphone...that the computer you are typing on can sometimes be overwhelmed by dictaphone and vpn and it will intermittently slow down - and you will experience a lag in your typing - which was what I was trying to describe...maybe these are just older computers I don't know but you seem to have a real axe to grind..I was simply conveying my experience...maybe you need to get a life, or learn to handle your anger a little better, or better yet get back to work...this is my day off what's your excuse? I apologize I did not describe this adequately, but just because you haven't encountered something doesn't mean it doesn't exist..
No, not rude, some people will only or can only do ERs. I know of some that sm
don't want to do operative reports and such. I can see where they might be intimidating for a new transcriptionist. I was not trying nor was that a rude statement. Sorry you took it that way.
Rude people but at least Talon is gone. nm
Look above, I corrected myself, how rude people are here.nm
nm
Also agree, but I think the rude QA people mentioned are gone. nm

Well, boo frickety hoo! So you encountered some rude people...
this is business baby, it's not your mama's house or church. Suck it up and do your job. Not everyone is nice. Not everyone wakes up in the morning and sings with the birds and whistles while they work.
Actually, the Indian QA people will be editing YOU. nm

I wasn't rude. All I said was that if I was trying to profit from recruiting people, I would
have left contact information. I didn't get called out and was never rude. How is stating FACTS rude? I'm also not offended because your logic makes no sense to me. I speak the truth. But it doesn't matter. If we have anything negative or positive to say about ANY company whatsoever, we're either recruiters or disgruntled ex-employees. I didn't get called out because there was nothing to call out on. Please, take your senseless accusations elsewhere. The board administrators know exactly who I am, so they can back me up when I say that I'm not a recruiter. I'm (GASP!) a happy employee FINALLY after ages of searching for the right company!!!!
I told you--these people weren't only extremely rude and mean..
But really dense!! I can't believe they keep posting and proving 'me' point. 
You are talking about 2 different people
I was not the one who posted the article. Maybe the poster works there, I don’t. Oh, I answered corporate's email here because I do not care for others to contact me, thank you.
Unorganized, feast or famine work, rude people, AND
Their new accounts are unpleasant to work on to say the least. They are no different than a lot of the other companies now.
DSG - Really rude group of people, especially the acute care side.
Got tired of their snarky remarks and moved on. Make 25% more where I am now doing easier QA and really nice group of people. Good luck to you!
DSG - Rude people, ran out of work, shuffled around on multiple accounts!

true about the people being rude, not to mention, don't call you back. nm

VERY unorganized, ancient software, rude people running that show NM

Here's a news flash for you... many people make MORE money editing....sm
in the same # of hours in a day than they do straight transcribing. I know because I and others with the company I work for do. When I was straight transcribing I averaged making $12 an hour. Now that I'm editing about 90% of the time I'm averaging making $13.50 an hour. Now THAT pays the bills faster, and I'm still working the same # of hours a week! 
Just because someone posts that VR is the wave of the future doesn't mean they're in management - they're just being realistic about what is happening in this industry (just as they referred to the copier and PCs).
Of course if you think it's really going to hurt you to do VR then perhaps you should go back to an IBM typewriter and get your own accounts. After all - using a PC and expanders is helping you get paid for work you're not actually transcribing (yup, think about those expanders - I bet you're not fussing over getting paid to have those kick in instead of having to type out those words, or consider the header information that blows in for you from an ADT feed that you're not having to manually type).
People keep talking about mid size companies sm
but which are they? Keystrokes, TT? Are they mid size? That means better? I think it just depends on who you are, how much experience and what platform you end up getting and with accounts going here, there any everywhere, lots of luck.
If that is not what she meant, and she was just talking about greedy business people, then...
why did she feel the need to say that the business person was Arabian? If she was just talking about greedy business people, then why would his nationality matter?
See my point?
Diskriter - interested in talking to people who left. SM
I am presently working for another company and am somewhat satisfied. Am considering Diskriter. I do not want to make a wrong decision. If you worked there and left, please let me know if you would be willing to give me some information (bad or good). I know people hesitate to get into specifics on this forum - email me and I will contact you. I am just so hesitant to make another change.
I was talking to the younger people on this board basically
because I am seeing where people are sitting here actually waiting for work to come in while they don’t have enough money for their bills, no money for food, no money to survive on. Why in the world if you are younger do you beat a dead horse so to speak because this profession is steadily going down as it is and if you don’t have money now, do you think over the next few years it is going to improve? I have worked most of my years in this business away from home. I had children but years ago we were not given the choice of working from home, imagine that! We probably then had more of a family life than what I read on this board now with people saying in order to squeak out a living they are working 24/7. I have probably worked more than most here but when I had jobs outsourced from underneath me I had no option to sit and wait for work to come my way. I went and found more. There is a simple solution but most here just seem to complain and do nothing except go right down the drain.
The people I know who worked there said they
I know a handful of people who have worked at Spheris and they all left for the same exact reason - they could never make the impossible line count (apparently it is rather high) and they also couldn't make any money (the pay isn't great either). Spheris seems to be willing to hire MTs without experience, so it is probably a good place to start so you can have something on your resume. Don't expect to learn much though, as quality does not seem exist at Spheris or is at best random.
Spheris is a very large company, and a perfect example of a case where bigger is not better. They are heavy into India - they took an account away from my company and sent it right over to India.
Probably the only people making any money at Spheris are in management.
Worked for them, nice people, low pay. nm

For the people below who worked at Meridian
How long did you stay before you left? I've been here a few months and beginning to wonder if I should cut my losses now or just give it a little more time to try to build up my production. Still haven't met quota for benefits after 3 months.
I worked there a few months ago. People very
nice, but disorganized. Kept losing my work. Sound files were really bad, only worked on one account so it could have been just that account. Platform so/so, but looking at upgrading within the year and I don't know what platform.
They are a fairly small company, I think less than 50 MTs.
I worked for them for a few weeks. Very nice people (sm)
I just could not make their minimum and found platform to be cumbersome - but it may have just been me.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
Worked for them years ag. GREAT people to work for. nm
.
Second the motion.. Nice people.. Best company I have worked for.
They really care about their employees and it shows..
I only worked there briefly, but great people, and pay always on time. sm
They do have a thing where you have to get a paper check for the first 90 days, then you can have direct deposit. The account that I was on used ExText.
Hope this helps. Good luck. 
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
By chance, are these people calling "non-Americans" I worked for a company
who shall remain nameless but their supervisors were in India and would IM me constantly to do a STAT. Even though, I would try tellin them I was not working that day or that I was going somewhere. They continued to ask. It was bizarre. I kept think, what part of English DONT you understand..NO..I thought meant the same everywhere. They are just the only poeple I have dealt with that just doesnt comprehend rejection of any sort, but that's just me.
I worked for them PT briefly -- nice people but sound quality was awful. sm
That was a long time ago, though, and things could have changed. If I remember, they paid decent wages.
Good luck.
I worked there part-time briefly. People are very nice to deal with, sm
and pay was okay. You had to wait 90 days to get direct deposit, and until then checks were mailed, which is a bit of pain, but they were always on time. I didn't care that much for my account, but the leader was always quite helpful. They must be a bit disorganized, though, as I still get messages from the help desk to help out, and I have been gone at least 3 months! And the help desk is apparently in India, if that makes any difference to you.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Because people like you come on this
because you don't have any problems with MDI then no one else possibly could either. I'm really glad your experience has been so positive. I'm not saying mine has been bad but there are issues at management level whether you want to believe it or not. Have you read any of these posts? Does that answer your question?
Who are these people?
I'm not sure who the devil-nurse is but I know who the current manager is. Who is the first one you mentioned? Her initials are okay if you care to answer.
some people
not only is she too young to read the newspaper to find out about the divorce rate and many people maintain relationships with their exhusband she also can't take a joke and is plain crazy and mean to boot.
