TransTech - they are hiring now, good time
....
Should I apply for QA or MT at Transtech?
NM
Apply at TransTech... they hire PT and don't have
mean obnoxious people working there.
How long does TransTech take to get back to you if you apply
It says a week or so on their site. I am assuming if you don't hear from them in that time frame they are not interested?
Finally ready to apply with Transtech
NM
Most of the time they want you to apply

Is this a bad time to apply for work?

Can you apply and ask for 1 particular office or does MQ assign you per the need at the time? Used

Sounds good to me, too! Where do I apply?!?
I'm an optimistic person - no company could be worse than the one I've been with forever. Sounds like a nice starting salary with hope for the future. 
not likely do any good to apply, she is PT & wanted FT nm

The only time I tried to apply at Diskriter I had to take a transcription test and it was horrible.
The sound quality was so bad that I just could not take the test. Even though I have 14 years of experience in acute care, they would not hire me because I could not do the transcription test. I would have been happy with just a written, or even a transcription test with better sound quality. I wonder how many people were put off by that. Maybe it was just me.
What kind of changes? I am looking to apply there and have heard good things. I don't want
to go in blind, but all the postings are so vague. Can you give me an example so I can decide for myself?
good post, but in response to 'why apply if you don't want the job'....
This is only my opinion. If I am considering taking on a new account, I will send my resume' out to a few companies, and see what offers come in. If it takes one company a day or two to make an offer and another company a week, I may not be available in a week.
Not sure if you think it is proper to send out a resume to just one company, and cross fingers hoping they will call with a decent offer. I, for one, prefer to interview the company, not have the company interview me.
Hope this sheds some insight on why you may not receive a call back from those who submit their resume'. You may be taking too long to get back to them.
Are experienced MTs finding they are getting a good response when they apply for jobs or is the
field flooded by now. I see tons of people looking at the job ads.
TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
From time to time those paper checks aren't good!
nm
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
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?
Question for old time TransTech MTs.
I keep seeing a new MT who is not following format on the new account to an extreme. Additionally, has about 10 blanks and is not sending to QA. What would you do, notify management or just keep quiet? I've seen this over and over again in reports that I pull up. I don't want to be a sourpuss but it's really, really bad and I think in the long run will reflect negatively on the company. Input is appreciated.
TransTech part-time?
I currently work for Transtech and am very happy there. My only problem is I'm finding it hard to balance taking care of my kids and myself (I've had heart issues since having my baby last year) and was wondering if TransTech even offers part time work.
Like I said, I'm very happy there and want to continue my employment, and going partim time would make things here much easier.
Thanks
Part-time TransTech
How many hours are considered part-time? I don't think they used to hire part-time.
does anyone know if TransTech hires part-time? thanks! nm

Transtech Full time status
Can anyone tell me how Transtech defines full-time. Is it so many hours a week or based on a certain line count? Thanks.
Charts In Time, TransTech or MedScribe
Anyone have any good information about these two companies? Thinking of applying. What type of platform do they use?
Thanks
your time is coming . . . easy does it when first hired on with TransTech, of course.
Do you think they are going to discourage you on the very first day of hire. NOT.
Obviously, you are one who is getting cherry-picked reports, but your time will come for the difficult dictators just as we all get.
So glad you enjoyed your first day.
TransTech good or bad?

I worked part-time for Webmedx and I work FT for TransTech. sm
My vote would be for TransTech, although Webmedx is not bad. Since I was only part-time, I did not receive any benefits, but from what I recall, they did seem to have a nice benefit package. My main complaint was that I just never could get my lines per hour up to where they have been at other companies. Normally, I average around 300 lines per hour, but even with totally focusing and typing as fast as I could, I never could get past 250-260 lines per hour at Webmedx. Their incentive pay is based on lines per hour that you type, not total lines per pay period, so it did make a difference in my pay. I also did not like the fact that I had to use their computer. I like using my own computer, and also like the flexibility of being able to load the program on my laptop so if I have to be away from home, I can still work if I need to.
I have seen negative posts about TT, but I have no complaints with them. My line counts are fair. The people in management are absolutely some of the most caring people I have ever met. The work generally is plentiful, and I have a backup account. The incentive tiers are easy to attain, and the benefits are pretty good, I think, and not outlandishly priced.
Obviously, not every company is a good fit for everyone. I hope you find just exactly what is best for you -- good luck!
That is good $$ but Transtech pays a lot
nm
Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm
x
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
Is there good money to be made at Transtech? nm

I am one of those Transtech MT's who has good memories of the ^old^ TT, and yes it has changed
I agree with everything you posted and could add more. TT is definitely getting ^top heavy^ in the management dept. I hated it when this first happened. We are so micro-managed now that it is really disgusting. Why in the world does TT need all these leads/sups and whatever else those others in/out of the office do.
Oh, such sweet memories of 2 years ago at TT.
TransTech, some MedWare accts., Amphion, Commonwealth (in CT.), Charts in Time, Focus. nm

I would recommend something other than Webmedx. If you can get good references regarding Transtech,

I don't think now is a good time to look because of the
slow down. I left MQ in late July and had 4 interviews and job offers the first week of sending out resumes. Now, I think it would be a little slower with the glut of MTs looking and the time of year.
IC positions only but the pay is good and always on time-sm
easy system and dictators are all pretty good (from what I have had anyway). I do mostly ops and discharges for them but they have ER and other stuff too.
Paid on time, but not good.

BEWARE, this is not a good time to be at OSi
They are having a major shakeup and have been firing upper crust for multiple reasons, violating the privacy of MTs and other extremely uncouth things.
Aside from that - the same old, same old - Big I and Little You. They still don't give a fig about the MTs. They like the fancy titles but don't live up to the fancy titles, don't know how to schedule, and try to gyp you at every turn, with falsifying time sheets only one way of accomplishing that!!!
I don't think now is a good time to look for work anywhere
over the holidays. On the other hand, people tend to get really ill over the holidays, and unfortunately, mortality rate goes up. It's just the docs are busy, and of course have their minds on their families too and the time they are taking off from work.
In 27 years of transcribing this has always proven true. It may get slow now, after the docs get the notices from medical records they are soon out of compliance, there will be a flurry of reports just about to be over a month old. So please hang in there. And if you need extra money there is always the ability to help in retail. Especially the chains which will be having big sales. They need extra help. Good luck to you!
Are there any good companies that pay on time?
looking
ROI - Good company, pay always on time.
One drawback is scheduling. Although you are an IC, they treat you like an employee. Monitor when you start and end your shift and any breaks you take. If that's not a problem for you, then give them a try.
I had a good time but I struggled in the
70s when I was working 13 hour days and weekends to boot to support 2 kids in school, divorced mother. I hate being poor and I did not start transcription until 1973, by the 80s making a gold mine at it, outsourcing, outsourcing and now in the golden years working 4 days a week, just tired with fibro and thyroid problem. I make no excuses for now because I have done without in my earlier years.
I work there and love it. Good pay and always on time.
I don't take the health insurance, so can't speak about that. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Good company, pay on time, seems like a lot of work. nm
nm
Sorry you had a bad time with them. Hope you found a good fit elsewhere. nm

Seems like the good ones are staying a long time
I know many who have been there 2, 3, and some 4 years. Volumes are up right now, and we've had several new accounts go live in the last couple of months as well.
I have been with co for a long time. I have it pretty good, but new
xx
A lot of OT on my acct, supes are good, pay on time.
nm
I tried several other companies, good ones, but it was like regressing in time! Not worth it!
You won't be shuffling thru papers, trying to find doctors names, etc. Its a fast platform. I never realized how much I loved it til I tried "greener pastures", which sure were not greener! Felt like the horse with my head stuck thru the fence, but luckily I got back in my own pasture! There's no place like home, there's no place like home...Good luck to you!!
