had 5 new accounts start, 1 a month for 5 months, that were all very large and needed 20+ MTs. They are now a larger company and do not constantly need new MTs, but I think it is unfair to judge a company by how many people it is hiring. I think it would be interested to find out how many are new positions and how many are due to MTs leaving and why they left.

They are growing, growing, growing! The best MT company I have ever worked for!
Give them a try. 
She's still there. They are just growing so fast, they need more (sm)
many times in office works well for other reasons.
I notice that Transtech is continually hiring. Are they growing that fast or are they
overhiring? Should I be concerned by this or apply? How are they to work for? Any input is greatly appreciated.
I have worked for both. It just depends on the company..sm
the smaller one treated me better, but pay was less, benefits were less, however, more flexible in scheduling and treated more like a person than a number. The bigger companies I have worked for pay better, better benefits, but you are treated like a number, not too much personal chit-chat with other employees or with your supervisor and not as much flexibility in scheduling. Depends on what you are looking for.
company called protype out of new york
I see protype will pay 11 cents per line. Does anyone know anything good or bad about them?
I worked for them previously. Very good, growing co., wonderful MTSO, average pay but lots of work.

the growing company?
see details inside, only provides an email response.
This company definitely belongs on the growing
Is there any way to get documentation of what, exactly, the 'misconduct' was? It sounds like they're not only being untruthful, they're also being spiteful and vindictive, just because you couldn't meet what was probably an unrealistic daily line minumum on crappy accounts, using substandard software.
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
Definitely growth. The company has been growing steadily...sm
for the past few years. Good platform, steady pay (direct deposit, have never experienced a late paycheck), good MT support, great bennies. I'm happy there.
Company has been steadily growing, great bennies,...
I've never had a late paycheck. Pay is very competetive, PTO, holiday pay etc. I believe there is more than one platform on which to transcribe - depending upon the account. I work on the main platform - not glitchy for me. No problems reaching my line count. I'm quite content there, no plans on leaving.
For every single company out there, you'll find happy employees and not happy ex-employees. Deciding on an employer is a hard decision to make. Good luck with your choice, no matter what it ends up being.
Small but growing company, great to work for
Really sharp owner, great QA.
NO! Global Transcription in St. Louis is a small company that is slowing growing.

depends on what platform you worked on
They arent all great, but they arent all bad. When did you do your time there?
Fast Chart - not a good company. (sm)
They start you out at 6 cents a line no matter how much experience you have, telling you you'll move up the scale quickly. The first two levels will be achieved quickly so you'll be making 7 cents a line by the end of your first month.... that's it. No matter what you do, you'll never move up to the next level. To make any real money, you have to work Saturday nights and Sunday nights (when the pay is higher) when there is work, which is rare. And the platform is horrible. Good luck, and definitely look elsewhere.
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.
depends on company but...
would guess most have a number of lines that they call full time and another number they call part time. Probably lines more than minutes.
Do you have the flexibility to fit them in whatever hours you wish? Depends. Usually as an employee you would work whatever shift they told you, i.e. S-Th 7-3. IC's are not supposed to be scheduled though I would not be surprised to find some companies fudging on that. After all, what are you going to do, quit or report them? Most of the criteria to determine IC vs. emp. come from the IRS. They are the ones that it matters most if you are IC or employee. You can search on some government sites to find tax publications regarding this issue.
It depends on what company you
they overhire, sometimes send to India, depending on your company.
Depends on the company. Did they tell you that you would be doing ER?
Some places treat ER as acute care, not clinic, but it is really up to the individual company. Best to ask your supervisor if you were not told anything when you were hired.
Really depends on the company.

I think it depends on the company...sm
I have worked for a company as an IC under a 24-hour TAT, which was still a little stressful. I love the company I work for now because I can work whenever I want without the stress and still get a good line count in. I would never go back to employee status, which I've done in the past, as well. Way too restrictive and so much stress. No thanks! Finally, after 10 years of doing this, I am happy.
Depends on the company
I had that job at a northeastern-based company and it was awful! It was trying to deal with account managers fighting each other and me. I was told to go in and monitor the accounts and get work assigned, etc., and then would hear from the account manager never to touch the account. It takes a LOT of experience and a lot of responsibility. If you take this job, don't do it for less than 16-17 an hour.
Depends on the company but overall
Your line counts very much depend on the company with ExText. I worked with one company and was easily able to get 400+ lines an hour..easy account, easy dictators, etc, but then I worked for another company and was on an even easier account and struggled to make 200 lines. With the average pay per line for VR editing running at around .04, that's just not gonna cut it.
Depends on the company.
I have 2 IC contracts and neither of them require me to have a certain number of hours or lines. I work when and how often I want. A lot of companies require a certain line count per week. and then there are other companies that treat their ICs like employees and require a set schedule. I personally love being an IC and having complete flexibility over my schedule as I have a little one at home and can't always work at the same time each day.
I think it depends on company.
I know mine does pay for spaces. I get good lines on Escript averaging higher than my straight transcription and higher than with my previous platform (ancient word perfect). I've heard complaints of low averages but I don't understand how this is.
Depends on company. Some just the
lines over base, some pay for all lines if over base.
That depends on the company
. Normally a lead is the main MT on the account who supervises the other MTs. But structure varies from company to company
It depends on the company/msg
You probably will not make as much as you would MTing, but $800 every 2 weeks sounds low to me. Probably will not have to type, but again, it depends on the company.
Like anything, it depends on the company. Some good, some bad. nm

all depends on which company you work for
to define the line they first determine what is and is not a character. Some companies believe that a space is not a character so it is not counted as one. So, once the term character is defined, then every 65 characters would count as 1 line. This is different from a gross line that just counts the lines you see on the page.
not necessarily so - I think it depends on the company and how they set it up(sm)
I worked on a hospital using Cquence and the lines produced on it were paid with spaces (the way my company was paying us.)
But I think it depends on which company you work for.

Depends on the company, but with Axolotl
there is no freedom in the schedule. If you are scheduled to work 9 to 5, you work 9 to 5. Can fudge 15 minutes either way without an issue, as long as you are getting your lines.
I think it depends on the company and what position you hold. sm
If you are a Team Lead or manager, I think it would be a conflict of interest. If you are an IC, you should have more than one place that you do work for to be considered as an IC, otherwise you are an employee.
Overall it is a good company. Your paycheck, however, depends on the account SM
you have, and your level. I am currently a level 8 with a high number of ESLs. I like Spheris the company though, but dislike my account.
Depends upon how your company counts things, I suppose. sm
I like both platforms. Bayscribe is easy to use, and the Expander emulates PRD+, which I was used to. The spellchecker is kind of clumsy -- that could definitely use some tweaking. The thing I liked the most about Bayscribe was at the end of each report, you saw the line count for that report and how much you made, plus a total of lines for all reports and the total number of lines you had made for the day.
I am currently using ExText, and it is also easy to use. I have to go to ichart to view my line count, though, and you cannot get it on a report-to-report basis. The CTRL+I feature is useless to me since my employer does not count headers or footers. I quit using it because I hated to see what a big difference there was at the end of the day. I could do 300 lines per hour on Bayscribe. With the current setup, maybe 250. I can do 300 if I just sit and type as fast as I can with no breaks, but that cannot last for 8 hours solid.
Either platform is okay. I still kinda miss WP51 -- think DOS-based programs were faster -- but you can't hold on to a dinosaur. And, obviously that is just my opinion. Hope it helps. 
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

It depends on who is offering it, and what kind of work is available. If you posted the company sm
name, we could give more helpful advice.

Can anyone tell me anything about this company? Searched the archives and found nothing helpful.

I don't know about the other, but the one in New York has a very nasty attitude when it comes to transcribing foreign languages.

Superior Transcription Co, New York
Does anyone know anything about this company? I tried to download their instruction files, and when I double click on the installation file like the directions say, it just brings up a page of symbols. There's got to be another way.
The lady wanted me to start right away today, and sent me all the things I have to download (Voice Scribe), then it was late in the day and I didn't get it all downloaded by the time she left at 4:45 PM. Now I'm not sure if I can do this. I can't call her back until Monday.

I did well on my tests, but was told after 30 days of being with them I would have to pay $600 for their platform, payable at $25 a week. Did you have to pay this? The only contact I had was with Rosanne.
