Every company I apply to seem to be using ExText.  I am tired of fighting for lines on ExText, but not sure that anyone else is using an MT-friendly platform.  I am not interested though in Diskriter, Transolutions or Spheris, so if anyone knows of a company other than those three please let me know.  Thanks. 

Am actually just looking for PT, don't care if it is employee or IC.

TIA

If not, can we list them here?  I'm tired of getting laid off or not having enough work from companies who're sending work to India. 

If you know of a company that doesn't offshore, it would also be nice if you could say whether or not they require VR.

Thanks in advance to anyone who participates -- we're all in this together!   

And a second list of companies USA only? This would be a great reference tool for those of us who have made a personal choice to only work for USA firms.  I thought about compiling a list, but am afraid it would not be all-inclusive, and I know that some of you out there are very knowledgeable and have done much research.

Also on the American ones, perhaps if you know they cheat on line counts, pay, give the run around, that would help too.  I could probably help with that but again it would not be all inclusive.

Maybe we can get a few posts together and share notes.  I think that this kind of list of all of our experiences (collectively would be a great reference tool), and perhaps it could be saved here somewhere, maybe earmarked for future reference so people would not have to constantly search through archives.  Why reinvent the wheel over and over again if we could have all this info in 1 place.

I think that if we work all collectively, we can improve our working conditions, because MTSOs on that list will be held accountable at least by the amount of people who read this board and support the ideas which seem to come up often here, namely, keep it in the USA, keep wages fair, treat the remote MT/QA professionally, etc.

When gas prices went through the roof the American public cut back and you see now, gas prices are going down. This should be an example to us that if we all work together throughout the country, changes must be made by those who are cheating the MT.  By us having this information, and keeping it here, then people can have a great list to keep in their back pocket, and finally companies will be held accountable. 

I will be willing to put some into the list, but I don't know it all so I need help.  Will wait for feedback first. Thanks in advance for listening to my idea.

It would be great to have all in 1 place companies which do not have VR (and they usually are all USA too).  I can only come up with 2 to start, but please add to the list.  This would certainly help out those who do not wish to take the leap at this time into that kind of technology.  Thanks for adding to the list.

1.  Keystrokes.  Very little VR, lots of straight typing.  No overseas.

2.  SoftScript.  I think all straight typing.  I do believe no overseas.

Please add to the list. It would be a helpful tool for many of us. Sorry I can't think of more, but then again, that is why I am creating this post. Thanks again.

Diskriter, Precyse, Opti-Script (Penn.), CIT (Charts in Time), WebMedX, Spheris, and Amphion.  Transcend used to. Maybe someone can say whether Transtech or MQ still do. I do not know if you have to be FT in order to get computer provided with any of these companies. Opti-Script in Penn. WILL provide one for part-timers. Good luck!

any info appreciated.

Are there ANY companies out there that use the same platform for every account they have?  It seems that most MT companies out there are using whatever platform the hospital has so they can tap right into their system.

I know Medquist uses the same one (I am not working for Medquist, did that already) and to me it seems like that is the best way to do things.  Have every facility have the work done on your platform.  This business about MTs working for companies and every account uses a different platform is crazy.

Any opinions or answers to the question of what companies do NOT use a bunch of different platforms?

have employee status, lots of work, and minimal confusion and disorganization?   Can do the big 4 for acute care.
