Drop them an email. Mine was stolen. I received a nice empty envelope.

call them or email, they are very
helpful, will call you back within a few hours if you email them!!!
Just call or email your new
Due to new accounts, there has been lots of hiring lately. Call or email your account supervisor. They are the nicest people I have ever worked for.
Call them or email them. I know that
if you cannot wait, they will put you at the top and call you back. They told me that they are hiring 22 MTs for new accounts and trying to get through all the resumes. I would email. 
At the end of the call, we were done. They cut our email at 4 p.m. sm
And, yeah - they said plain out that they were cutting the US QA and sending it to India.

We did get a severence package but it probably will not even cover the COBRA insurance for a month.
I think you would probably need to call or email them for all these questions. (sm)
Maybe it depends on each individual situation.  Don't know.  Send them an email with exactly what you posted here, and see what they say!
Only one way to find out, either call or email them and ask. nm

Can't you just email or call the DQS support people? My last job let me do it. nm

I have received no email about such conference call.
Where did you get that from, and who sent it out.  Give initials, pls.  I got missed somehow.
Call her - sometimes their email does funny things...nm

Ran out of work, they wouldn't return email or call...see msg
They wouldn't contact me back or answer my calls. Four days later they finally got back with me to tell me to be patient. I specifically asked when I took the position if running out of work was ever a problem.
TTer is right. Call or email tech support sm
and explain it to them. It's usually connection problems and/or too many media players on your system. They will clean it up for you. I was getting kicked out several times a day and they took out all the media players except what I needed and then shut down all the applications running in the background except for my virus scan and now I hardly ever get kicked out.
Too easy to be ignored on email. Call repeatedly and sent a registered letter. nm

Make a phone call. Too important to leave to email. nm

Inquiring about your job
Do you make more than $20.00 per hour at your new job, what where you making when you left transcription, were you doing VR or straight?
Inquiring about ALL TYPE INC sm

Was wondering if anyone had good or bad comments regarding this company?  Would sure appreciate feedback either way ASAP as I am considering applying.  If possible, please put "all type" in subject line if emailing me.  TIA


You are inquiring about MedScribe
and yes, they have the 12-hour window for acute care MTs however that is for full-time positions only, not for part time.  Hope that helps.
If you are inquiring because of that job being offered, consider this.
The ad says there are 25 lines per page.  If you divide 1.25 by 25, you'd be making 0.05 per line.  I don't think that is reasonable even if the voice system is very audible. 
inquiring minds want to know.
Does anyone know anything about Transform?
To the MTSOs inquiring on this thread...
I wouldn't worry about what these negative posts say, for many reasons:

... It could easily be just 1 or 2 people who have a bee in their bonnet today; no one knows the true number of posters here

... It could easily be people who are not even MTs but friends/families of MTs or just bored poots looking to cause trouble

... No one, hear me, no one makes any MT work for any company. They are free to leave, are they not?

... I have not had the experiences with MTSOs that these people are talking about; in fact, quite the opposite so I think this is just a group who are probably not even mediocre at this

... Not one of these posters knows what it takes to run an MT business. I do. I had one and it was very successful. They don't know the incredible competition out there. They don't want the full responsibility.

... They are not willing to sign their God-given name to anything. They come here in absolute cowardice and sling their words around but if you ask them to pony up facts and ask who they are talking about and their own ID...nadda. Nadda.

I've done this work a long time, MTSOs. I've even been one. There are always going to be a few low-barrel companies but every line of work has that. For the most part, I see MTSOs on the up-and-up, offering good pay for good work. If an MT is an excellent worker (i.e., keeps the schedule, does the production and has the quality), most MTSOs will do what it takes to keep them.

... Everyone has a price and theirs is too high, in my opinion.

Now, all the naysayers can fire away. Said my opinion. :)

There is nothing wrong with inquiring here for information on a company. sm
A lot of useful information is exchanged here regarding other MT's experiences. 
Fast Chart, TAe software? Inquiring MT needs to know......

I am thinking about signing on with them, but need to know exactly what TAe software is?  More specifically, I am hoping that it does not ruin my Windows XP and my MS Word 2002 already in my computer.  My understanding is that it is a stand-alone software, maybe proprietary?  It is made by Arrendale Associates is all I really know.  Is is user-friendly?


Thanks for any information on this. 


Inquiring minds are a terrible thing to waste so here

For inquiring minds, I do not think any of the following information is confidential, since it is on the court website for anyone to look at, but I found it fascinating and think some of you may also.


 


The Transtech case has been transferred to Federal Court, US District Court in Texas, because of two or more different states being involved (TT is in Texas, Defendant is in another state, and the five Jane Does can be anywhere in the world). 


 


This information can be publically obtained on the Federal Court Website – PACER. 


 


While I was there, I checked out some of the other Libel/Slander cases that had Closed or Settled to see what the timeline was and how they were settled.  They ranged anywhere from 3 to 6 months, from date of filing with the Federal Court to date of closure. 


 


I found it curious that on most other filings where the Defendant was not known, they used JOHN Doe, but TT used JANE Doe, assuming that everyone who posted on the MTStars was a female.  Or maybe, all TT hires are females? 


 


There were two other cases that really interested me.


 


One was for a Travelscream Technologies who filed suit against John Doe, Defendant.  It was filed on 10-15-2008 and closed on 01-20-2009.  They were asking $100 million against John Doe because of comments posted on two website.  Apparently John Doe posted: (1) Tranvelscream is just the latest scam by a group of con artists…  (3) Beware of Traveloscream. 


 


The Plaintiff had to DISMISS the case because THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHO JOHN DOE WAS!!!!!


But left it open to refile if they could ever identify the person.


 


 


The other was for a Beauty Signature Group who filed suit against another company.  The complaint was not on file so I could not read what the allegations where.  The suit was filed on 04-16-2008 and was Settled on 08-12-2008.  Again, the Settlement papers were not filed, so I do not know what the outcome was, but some of the other cases only wanted retractions and no more posting of remarks by the Defendants, so there may not have been any actual money involved, except for court costs, etc. 


 


So, this could all be over by Christmas. 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Drop it already! ENOUGH! DONE! OVER! nm
NM
Is there a reason you cannot let this drop?
We are all tired of all the nonsense, but seems to me you are tyring to continue it!
Drop Hyphen
Thanks for setting me straight and thanks for your time in answering.

LLD
I think you can drag and drop it.
Isn't that working for you?
Did they also drop the rate?
If this is the case, then this is why.  If not, and it is as you say, I would start sending out resumes and don't leave until you have another jobtained and even work both for a time if you can, to see if you like the place.  Some management style is punishing, they feel this is the way to do it WHERE it should be the opposite, people will work their guts out if they just be nice and fair.  Start looking for a better place. Their loss.
I had to drop my coverage -
I could not afford to pay the premiums as I had no work. I was basically working just to pay that.

Also, since they paid on a tier plan, I went from making over 11 cpl to making 6 CPL at the same time. That is why they do not mind overhiring - they get the same work done for much less money, so that means more money in their pockets.
You do realize what MQ is doing right now is exactly what Spheris does. I still think they may drop
SE but hope not but Spheris does not have IC or SE so if there is a plan in the works MQ may just have employees.
Hope that stays the same because it is apt to drop
as mine did. Lot of us outsourced from a major hospital and went from salary and incentive to less than 4 months later VR at 4 cents a line, still make that but on straight it is 8 (over 30 years experience) but I average about $18.75 an hour and that is because of my speed only. When pay and incentive though over 40 thou a year so quite a drop.
So, if your the lucky soul who gets 7.4 cpl and you drop below 98.9%, then you'd get 6.4 cpl..wow

You can drag and drop, but under the more button you
have to check the box that says remember player position. HTH.
Don't people who obtain the CMT normally drop the RMT sm
from the end of their name?

Just wondering - why would an MTSO drop

Not disputing you or anything, I just wondered why they would do that.  It seems it is dog-eat-dog in the MTSO industry and I can't understand why they would practically give an account to a competitor. 


Just wondering, not disputing here. 


I believe there is a Drop Chute program but
I don't know anything about it.
Yes. I bought a policy when I knew I would drop below
production levels.  It has a higher deductible than my MQ insurance but it was the almost the exact same cost.  I will never tie my health insurance to an MT job again.  Too risky. 
Thank you for posting. I've been waiting for the axe to drop
because I can't get up to speed. I was expecting to be able to do 250-300 lph there because I heard how great their platform was. I do love so many things about them compared to other places I've worked.
While the acct does make a difference, the drop in pay
will make it difficult for anyone who has been a speedy MT to make nearly the same amount of mone. It appears to me that their goal is to put all employees in the $30-35K per year range. That's not good enough for me.

I should have listened to the warnings last year on this board last year, but that's okay - I've learned my lesson and will be starting next week with someone else who give me a CHOICE as to whether I edit or not.
Agree Completely. Will Clients Drop Us?
Those clients surely will drop the new entity first thing. Perhaps a new entity will evolve to cover those clients and will absorb those of us familiar with them?
Let's drop the subject. The issue has been addressed SM
by the company and resolved.
What scares me is a drop in pay beginning today.
Certainly, not the training; certainly not being out of comfort zone. In all my years as an MT I have gone through many changes. What I don't like is being put in a position where I put a question mark next to my check for the next rent, and for the future... That is what I am scared of...
Doesn't it make sense to be frightened of a sudden drop in pay when you have no other income to depend on? If I were salaried I certainly would not be afraid of anything... I would enjoy learning something new... but this is like no safety net.
Also, my car loan as well as my landlord expect me to have the same or better income on my paystub... what am I supposed to tell them about a drop immediately in the same job? They would certainly be afraid if they knew this were happening.
I didn't drop, the computer dropped a "k" but as a professional

Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM

Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.


Must be your manager 'cause mine lets me off at the drop of a hat. sm
You should ask again, saying that you have extenuating circumstances. Offer to work extra during the pay period to make up any missing hours, if possible.

As for slowness, it is MUCH IMPROVED since earlier this year.
Yes, call waiting works. I also have call forwarding from my home line
