In Reply to: DTS America?? - wondering MT
something about outsourcing to India, but I didn't see anything that was particularly current.
By the way, I'm looking at DTS America out of Brentwood, TN, I think?

I found some stuff, but nothing really about -sm
their flexibility. I may leave an IC job to become an employee and I am really worried about it, not sure that I can do this with 1 child still at home (3-year-old boy). I know there is a BIG difference between IC and employee status. I just don't want to stress myself out too much on a day-to-day basis. By the way, I'm not the OP. I think I will pass though. Flexibility is extremely important to me, at least until my youngest goes to Kindergarten.
There is a lot of stuff in the archives but
nothing good. They are an Indian company with just a store front in the US.
Every place has some bad stuff, but I found the
sound quality to be poor with Smartmed. I didn't work for them, only tested.
Lots of stuff in the archives. nm

Tons of stuff in the archives or scroll down a
bit. They have been discussed extensively here recently. For the most part it is all good.
There is tons of stuff in the archives and if you'll

I worked for them for a few months. It wasn't a good fit for me, but there are many happy MTs there and I think there have been positives than negatives posted about them.
Lots of stuff in the archives, but it is a horrible
company. Some of the worst ESLs, sound quality horrible at least on some accounts, frequent turnover. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.
Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
found an answer in the archives!
I found some great posts in the archives, and they really helped. Phoenix MedCom sounds great!
wow - found a website in archives
http://www.meridianhcs.com/
even happier to help ;-)

nm, found several posts in archives saying
it was Magic version.
Found lots in archives. Thanks though!

I would like to hear about them also. I found nothing in archives at all. nm

Found the information in the archives, thanks (sm)
I called the phone number and it answers for Macro-Solutions. I also checked with the BBB and sure enough they have been in business for a long time and have an excellent rating BUT the contact name is different than the name given with the BBB, but that could be because it is the HR person posting the ad. I still think that something is fishy with it, who knows though.
JLG - searched archives and only found 2004. I
could swear I have seen recent posts on JLG, but am afraid they must have been deleted. Any current info at all? Anything would be appreciated. Don't want to go from that BIG OLD FRYING PAN into the fire, if you know what I mean! 
I found Medgarde, but read in the archives...
that they don't pay for spaces and make you pay for their platform. Is this still the case?
Searched archives, but found nothing recent on Q-Med... anything out there?
I've also asked before and got no replies so I'm trying one more time. Anyone know anything good or bad about this company? THANKS!
Anyone know anything about Charts in Time? Only thing I found in the archives sm
mentioned tons of bad ESLs and not enough work -- not too encouraging. Perhaps that has changed? Anyone working for them currently or know anything new?
Never mind my question, I found the archives on Focus.
What a deal. Are there no good companies anymore?
WEBMEDX - I found fairly favorable things about them in the archives..does anyone
know if they still pay by minutes of transcription rather than per line? I saw that in one past post. Would love to hear from anyone either via e-mail or post here if you work for them and are still happy? Thanks.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
Tons and tons of stuff in the archives. nm
stuff
you have to purchase about $1200 worth of their "proprietary" stuff.
What to do to get rid of that stuff:
Copy the URL address of the offending post then click CONTACT (on the bar on the right) and fill in the Admin email form. In the box, type what the problem is (cussing, vulgar language, blah, blah) and paste that URL. Ask them to remove it.
It's the cussing and vulgar stuff they want out of here.
Why do we put up with this stuff?
No paid holidays, and the list goes on. It feels like we should be '"greatful" that we get any PTO at all. Who are they kidding? Who do you know who works at home all the time, never done, and the beat goes on. I used to worry about voice recognition, now I think the best thing that could happen to me would be to have to find a "real" job, real bennies, real security (or reasonable facsimile), real paycheck, real time off, real paid holidays, real sick time, etc. We do way too much for way too little. I feel like the time I get at home because I work at home is not enough to pay back the every weekend, pressure, pressure, pressure, always behind, never type enough hassles. What pay is worth all that? Let's be reasonable, maybe 60K a year but I make half of that in a good year. And the more they tie me to the chair the slower I will be. So on it goes.....time to get real...
I have seen some really BAD stuff done by them yet they keep on going.
nm.
Most MTs already have this stuff except for maybe - sm
the C-phone which you can pick up for less than $200 on ebay. Also you can write off all these costs against your income and save a little in taxes which is better than nothing.
and T/U for doing the other stuff!

Bad Stuff?
Could it be that she was given multiple opportunities to improve her line counts?
I know for a fact that they will bend over backwards to help their employees and give them an ample amount of time to reach productivity standards. Yeah, giving someone 3 years is a bit much!!!
Why does one consider Axolotl a bad company because they require their MTs to produce 1200 lines during their shift, which is what is agreed upon at the time of interview and when the MT signs the employment offer letter? Because the MT does not hold up their end of the agreement, Axolotl is a bad company for not keeping them?
Again, if MTs want a job where they do not have to stick to a schedule and have a daily minimum that they have to produce, they need to go to a company and work IC. Axolotl is not the place for them.
If MTs want a job with awesome pay, great benefits, great editors, great platform and lots of work, then Axolotl might be for you. If the MT cannot type 1200 lines in a shift or maintain quality, it will not be a job for them. But I think this has been stated before in a lot of postings.
No bad stuff here
I really don't have anything bad to say about Transcend. they have been a great company for me, very flexible. In fact, any other company would probably not be as flexible as they have been. If you are struggling, they will work with you. They may outsource some work, but they are definitely not India. They are based out of Georgia. All of the team leads and managers are right here in the United States. IMO, one of the best and fairest transcription companies around.
I went through the same stuff
when training for Documed for a few days. they expected me to be 100% perfect on the first day with a 80%+ account. I was told to not do any more reports at this time. A week later no word, and I emailed back. ****, who is a real smart-aleck, emailed back and said we can't continue at this time. Well thanks for finally telling me, coward. Companies are real jerks sometimes when it comes to letting employees go. 
stuff
No HR department that I knew of. It's a husband/wife team, plus a couple lead supervisor/QA people, and a couple of other QA people. Husband rounds up clients, etc. Wife does initial interview. Lead supervisor trains for account specs. They use more than one platform, but the web-based one they pay a couple cents per line to that company to do the templates, etc.
They are really not worth all the hassle to try to get this resolved. I think this MT has already wasted more than enough time to account for the cost of the foot pedal or anything else. Call it even already.
I have not written any of this stuff
The secret to becoming a favorite at OSi will never be made publicly known, as there are plenty of people who consistently get at least 98%, 99%, or even 100% on audits, and are they rewarded for it? No. They aren't even told what they get because apparently their superiors would feel obligated to reward them. They just keep plugging away making the people "who hear it from the physician" look good while some of the QA team needs to be replaced for their holier-than-thou attitudes and their capacity to make crucial mistakes as well. The only way to grow and succeed with this company is not by being a model employee by being reliable and doing near perfect work without complaining - it is all in the hands of the powers that be, and what they look for, I sure as heck don't know, nor does anyone else not in the inner circle, 98% accurate or not. Why anyone would want to run a company this way is beyond me. Why not take the best assets you have - your employees - and use them to help your company grow, instead of playing these stupid games and giving people promotions simply because they have found a way to nudge into your circle? That is how companies succeed.
And to think, they get all of their stuff from CHINA!
whoa!
Same old stuff, same phrases. SM
Must be great to be able to blame the world for everything. You are a very angry person, you need to be on meds or something.
Yes, exactly. The picky nothing stuff
I have been reviewed now for 5 months; been in the "Exceeds Standards" percentage; and that is ridiculous anyway, 98-100%, etc.
I have been an MT for 25 years. Why am I being graded. We obviously do not know what we are doing. I thought I finished grade school along time ago.
If you would see how they do the QA and the nit picking stuff they take off for anyone would know
that they are going to do everything they can to make sure you dont meet that 98%.
weekends and stuff
Actually, when you get your little chart to fill in (24 hours, 7 days) it clearly has marked the hours where there is a shift differential. You could choose to work ONLY during those hours if you want. There will still be incentives and bonuses. The bottom line is, the jobs will still need transcribed and SOMEONE has to do it.
If you will notice, if you ignored the MQ stuff, there is nothing else other than that here.

Biotech stuff too, I think
nm
Most of their stuff goes to India (nm)

anyone can make that stuff up

if that;s the stuff you want, DONT' GO THERE!

psych stuff
Does anyone know of any company hiring that does a lot of psych work? I have been specializing in psych the past two years and like it but need to make a change. Any ideas where to look? Thanks much for any help.
