Just wait. Only 2 weeks with them sure does not make you the expert.

In Reply to: Transcend - My account is WONDERFUL.
Wait to you get moved to one of the crap accounts and then come back and tell us how wonderful it is. All these rah, rah, rah posts are by management or by new people who have the good accounts to break in on. The rest of the accounts are total hell

I've heard others say they wait 2 weeks
They use ancient equipment anyway. Get with a company that is with the times. Furthmore KS'ers on this board seem like recruiters to me or else they get paid to put nice things about that company. I think they're 9 cents short of a dime. I can feel it in my gut. No company is that great. 
Oh, I also heard they start everyone at 9 cpl, which is a lie! That was told on this board as well. Don't believe everything you read. I'd rather work for Transcend or MQ! HAHAHAHAHAHA
No one has had to wait six weeks to start. You are a liar and a troublemaker.
We also do not supply equipment any more, so that is another lie. Unreturned phone calls? Another lie. All 8 people in the office answer the phone and take care of the person who called immediately.
You are a troublemaker and obviously have nothing better to do than post lies.
The only time posts get pulled is when someone calls someone out by name or gives away account or confidential information.
There is NO ONE that has slipped through the cracks. No one.
You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
Wait til they make it to the
w
Wait and make your own opinion.
You hear a few good things, a lot of bad. They have a gag order not to say bad things. Some of the TL/ROMs are good, some are -marginal. Get everything in writing, it changes daily.
Thanks -- that does help! That is great ... some make you wait 90 days. nm

I can't wait to make the final decision today!!!
I am sooooo tired!!!! This is exhausting. LOL I know SoftScript was very organized and already has me ready to go with signs and everything, but am still a little leary of them as far as rigidity and strictness. Transcend seemed a little more flexible, not that you don't have to follow your schedule, but they give you 90 days to get up to speed and Softscript only 30.

Does anyone have any info about Expert Typing?
Expert Typing
 Any information on this company Expert Typing (Idaho)? All information is appreciated. I never want to be burned again. Thank you!
I'm no computer expert, but sm
it is my understanding that if you go wireless it is not as fast as if you plug in direct. With that limited understanding on my part, if I were doing it I would go direct with the work computer and go wireless with the other one.
I am no expert in Dictaphone, but I think once a job...
is assigned to you, it will stay in your queue 2 hours whether you log out or not unless the job is going to go out of TAT. If it is a TAT issue, the job will usually be reassigned.
This could mean no one else is working on your account, but I think there are other reasons it is set up like that, i.e., if you have a power outage then the job will recover and be sent back to you or to prevent people from logging out to get rid of jobs from authors they don't like.
BTDT, I'd love to know why you are such an expert....
you post a lot of negativity, but doubtful that you have worked for BOTH MDI and Transcend.
Being there 2 months makes you an expert? nm
Wouldn't someone who has 18 years of experience have their own accounts? If there's anyone else who thinks this is getting petty, please let us know.
expert medical transcription?
anyone heard of them?
expert medical transcription
Information on this company would be great, good or bad to work for.
Expert medical transcription
It is a very ethical company out of Miami, Florida. I believe there are different accounts both in and out of South Florida. It is strictly IC and works tends to dry up over the summer.
You don't have to be a computer expert but geez,
you buy a computer, you should at least understand how they work and be able to figure out how to fix some problems.
If you don't know the slightest thing about a computer, then you shouldn't have one. JMHO
Are you an ACLU case expert?
I would love it if you could prove your comments about the ACLU with fact - could you provide a link that proves your statement that they don't take on the causes of native-born Americans, UNLESS somehow, religion or politics is involved?
Seriously, can you defend the statement you made above?
I'm 1st to admit I am no expert but I have worked
you have obviously formed an opinion of me without REALLY knowing me. C'e LA vie.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
guess you are an expert on the company I work for??
The more we type, the bigger our so-called incentive. Few lines, less money. Funny how that seems to work!
It depends on your level of expertise--great for newbie, bad for expert. nm

I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Oh, well, then please don't wait around for it. I
wouldn't want you to be disappointed.
Gosh.
But wait and see. :)
I had work the first 2 full weeks I was there.. afterwards I was bombarded with hours and lines to make up. i.e., 11-15 hours every single week with a paycheck that never topped $200 except for my first one because they pay $200 to train. They always wanted everyone available every hour of every day. At least my TM is. You need to come back after you are there for a while and let me know how it is REALLY going for you.
Only excuse I ever got was the doctors are on vacation thats why no one has work... umm I had like over 50 when I stopped counting in my work pool.. so I highly doubt it.
I really do hope everything works out for you. 
I was told we can never use our own computer. Everyone has to use theirs.
wait, there's more

OH MY GOSH - thank you so much for posting this information.
I got an email from them telling me about a job and that I was preselected. Everything about the email was so professional, even the mention of sending them $11.95 to keep active with their staffing service, taking a typing test and sending the results, etc.
I got the email the evening before Thanksgiving and they needed a reply by the Friday after Thanksgiving because the job was supposed to start the next week. I got the feeling of [quote] hurry so you don't miss this opportunity.[/quote]
IT SOUNDED AND LOOKED SO GOOD - and I didn't have a lot of time to research this company - so I started with these forums and lo and behold here was my answer.
I sure appreciate that you took the time to input this information.

I fell for it the first time that they sent me something. I think it had to do with data entry but then they said that the positions have been filled. I find out that there was only like 2-4 positions that they had opened.

Now wait. Don't tell me there are
what you type in, no matter what your Expander plays out. For instance, if you type copdx and that comes out as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you should get paid for all the characters/spaces in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, right? Not just five letters for copdx. I'm asking because of the post below.
Heck, if I worked for a company that wasn't paying me for stuff the I took the time to put in MY expander to make transcription faster and more profitable for ME, then I'd just throw my expander out and type everything the hard way.
Please tell me there is no company that cheats MTs like that!
wait!!!
If you are an IC, you get paid when the hospital pays the client = stop complaining and deal with it!
Is this the one where you wait (sm)
forever for the first pay?
Wait? What?
Wait... Medware was bought out by another company or they are merging with another company?
What shall happen to all of us MedWare employees? I love MedWare!!! It's the best one I've worked for yet. :)
wait until you have been there a while
to say you love them. I worked for them for a few years and got so tired of the bad platform and the fact they were always promising this and promising that...and it would be real soon...but after waiting 3 years none of this ever happened...so went to greener pastures. A lot of their platforms are not transcription friendly at all.
My 2 cents worth...I know a lot of people do like them and that is fine...for them anyway!
No, I don't have to wait. First job comes sm
in about 30 seconds and I start typing after it is done. The others download in the background.
You should only have to wait (sm)
for the first one. After that, they download while you are transcribing. Not slow at all. (?)
Wait a while and see then

Oh, just wait
Anytime now there will be a psychotic posting from a member of the management team telling us how YOU didn't pass their test and meet their high standards, and how THEY didn't want to hire you. Anytime now, probably within the hour or two.
Just wait
If you work on a busy account you will be called on your days off to work if they are behind in work.
Wait a sec...do you mean CTS or TRX?
Your post doesn't indicate to which company you're referring.
Thanks for clarifying :-)
Can't wait-what will we get? Maybe sm
a card that we can print out ourselves? 
Wait a sec -
Are you the OP or another MT who was burned by LM? If you're not the OP, when did this happen to you?
That would make 3 of you in this thread that weren't paid, and that's pretty scary.
Why would you wait to see what others SM
are doing? Get out now! If you wait, you will be a latecomer to whatever company you end up with. Why don't you be one of the first? I have never understood staying even a minute with a company that had me sitting around waiting for work. Move on. I have not worked at TT, but I know how this goes.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Hey wait a minute....
This all originally started way down below with a positive post about Transcend in answer to a question about the company. Then, the naysayers hop on and start blah blah blahing all over the place. So, I believe the trouble started at your door.
Do you have to wait 90 days (sm)
to be eligible for the health insurance, and do you really not have to work any holidays. How is the platform? Thanks for replying.
Yes, wait 90 days. sm
Yes, you wait 90 days for health insurance. You can request holidays off. The platform is a piece of cake.
No problem at all. Feel free to ask other questions or email me at timetotype@hotmailnospam.com (take out nospam)
Okay, wait a minute
Well, you know, now that I check out my first apology, I see I didnt apologize before to you, just JMO. I thought I had apologized to both of you. So, I am also sorry if I said anything that hurt your feelings. And thank you for your apology also.
Just you wait and see if you dare go there !
You will absolutely hate the job at TH. Try it if you MUST, tho.
Now wait a minute...
I am management remember? not an MT!
rewards given to those who wait!
These rewards seem to come in benefit those who wait until the absolute last minute because then the work has piled up and the company offers bonuses for meeting X number of lines over the weekend? Who loses? The MTs who typed all week already and are reliable and TIRED at this point and cannot type over the weekend, so no bonus for them for being dependable the other 12 days of the pay period!
I don't think I can wait that long!
I haven't talked to anyone from Amphion, but their web site info looks great, especially the make your own schedule and holidays being completely up to the MT.
Just wait. Like a lot of other romances, .....
