MRC seems to be new around here & has an ad in the Job Bank with an Indian contact. Don't know

Maybe it is an Indian company with a US contact

They're probably Indian if you check into how to contact them. nm

I contact my reps every year.
They always state they are looking into it. That's it. You would think they would get sick of me writing.
Contact from last year said you needed your own LD, rented a Lanier, training was terrible, and

Focus is Indian run and you'll be editing Indian
work, so seriously doubt you'll make a bunch of $$ on editing. 99% of the MTs love KS. If you'll just scroll down the page you'll see dozens of posts about them.
Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

Go to their Indian website or other Indian websites

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
Indian ran?
ugggggg
They ARE Indian!!!
If you want to take a chance and not believe what you read, you will see for yourself that they are ALL Indian RUN!!!! Some people are so hardheaded....they are a horrible company and Bobbi is a real MEAN person to deal with as well....NO WAY FOR FOCUS!!!
CMT for Indian MTs
As an Editor who worked an account for several years transcribed 100% by an Indian company, I am surprised to hear they are able to pass the CMT certification exam. Their transcription was comical at best and sheer nonsense at worst.
HIS has been Indian since day one.
It has not one whit to do with AAMT. This company tried to recruit me years ago when they were first started and they were Indian then and still have their heavy ties. You lost your jobs because Manor Care will not be deep pockets to a dying entity any longer and can't even sell the damned thing!! Blaming AAMT is easy. I think the letter you got may have been from the executive director and not the President. Each of us, has to take responsibility for the choices we make with employment and having been through a lay off with HIS I had to blame myself ultimately for making a choice to be lied to and believe it because it suited me at the time. Offshoring is over 15 years in existence and I guess here to stay so the next time you make an employment choice be sure you pick a company that does not offshore .. in the meantime, put the blame where is squarely belongs at your own doorstep and not AAMT.
...that should be Indian MTs. nm

Indian MTs
There are always exceptions. I emailed often with one of the Indian MTs at one time. His English was probably better than my own. I think he was starting up his own transcription company and he was kind enough to ask me to work for him. (I was already working, but I considered it nice of him to ask). Really, I do think he was the exception, he was a great fellow. He was supporting his mom, his father had just passed away. Now he has gotten married. I do not exchange emails with him anymore but, if there were others like him, they would do pretty good. I do not really think that there are others like him though. Honestly, my primary account probably has 80% of his nationality. Wish they could type those.
Indian.

Didn't you know this board is run by Indians??
I wonder what they pay the Indian MTs? ..sm
I guess it is now equal, we are paid the same as the Indian.
did you mean by chance Indian
.
So is that why the new US MT supervisor is Indian?
?!?!?!?!
I was doing some research on Indian
MT companies and from what I can tell probably all work is done in India. They do hire U.S. editors, or at least they used to.
So, are your editors Indian?
I highly doubt it.
Indian company (nm)
x
That is correct! I don't! Obviously if you can tell they are Indian....
x
indian company
i bet it's an Indian company
Sounds like an Indian to me...nm
nm
They are not an Indian company - they are in NY
but they were offshoring A LOT of their transcription work. In fact, they lost quite a few clients about a year ago because the quality of the transcripts was just AWFUL!
Indian and Philippine.
yes.
I don't know name of company, but there is an Indian
company with at least a store front in MA. Tech people could possibly be in MA, but are probably in India.
You mean they are hiring US MTs. Wonder why. They are almost 100% Indian. nm
:
All of the Indian MT work I have
proofread is full of errors. I guess there are exceptions out there.
Says they also use Indian MTs on their website. nm
s
Lartech is in TX but I think is mainly Indian run.
and very much slave labor pay.
They are Indian owned
Do a search on the Company Board. Many negatives and they are based on India. Can they even post job ads on this board?
Do you mean apart from them buying 2 Indian co's
They are wonderful for Indian MT.
xx
OP is probably Indian, hence the spelling.
nm
What's up with the Indian job ad on the classifieds?
Good grief!
It is an Indian run company.
Indian Company, are you sure??? nm

Indian MTs versus US MTs sm
I QA'd Indian work for about a year and a half and for the particular ones I QA'd, they did not seem to grasp feedback. The same errors by the same MTs would come across again and again. Additionally, please remembers that most of the Indian MTs are sent to cream of the crop dictators and all that is left for the US MTs are all the crap. That combined with low rates, they try to do as much as they can to try to make money and pay the bills. Just my opinion; please don't flame!
Indian company........nm
xxx
they are an Indian Company
nm
Yes and no. They are an Indian company so
$$ not bad if you live in India, but they only hire US editors to clean up the junk tha comes back from India and that is no where near enough money. Because of them my company went out of business.
They are Indian owned and run.
nm
Indian MTs are not as productive as US MTs
It's a common fact; they send work to double QA. There was an article in Advance that I will try and find to provide a link that states this.
I doubt Transcend would lie about the work they send to India in their press releases and investor calls, they could get into a whole lot of trouble, and for what reason - just to stop the bashing on this board?
Indian owned and run....
It is being overtaken by Indians....used to be a great company - not anymore. Many have left there lately.
They'll just use you to make the Indians' work smell good to the US based clients then kick you to the curb. I wouldn't go there if my life depended on it now!
