Is Transcend a good company to work for? nm

Transcend sends all the good work to India and leaves all the
garbage for the MTs in the States so they can keep the indian slime working. n donkeys are that do the work. Transcend is not a good place to work
give amphion or transcend a try and dont always base choice on posts

good choice for me...sm
I am very happy with them. Have been with them since September. I make more than 8-1/2 cpl. I do think the rate is based on the account. My account is pretty easy.
Good choice!
Great company. Love it here.
First Choice and QT. Both good companies, too.sm
I recently moved to an area that doesn't offer broadband yet, and I've been using dailup with these 2 companies since. If you can stand how looooonnnng it takes to download with dialup, suggest you give either of these companies a call. Transmitting back the transcribed reports doesn't pose any problems, for some reason. Not sure if either has a lot of radiology work, though. Definitely worth checking. Good luck!
Medware has been a good choice for me
I am on the EXText platform, acute care. They have been a good service to work for, I like my team leader and needed good insurance. Plus, direct deposit is better than waiting on the mail like my old position.
MedScribe has been a good choice
My pay is always on time, every two weeks by direct deposit. The insurance is with Aetna, very low deductable, great plan but it' s about $37 per week. My base line rate is higher than a larger company I just left plus MedScribe has a nice incentive plan, two levels that are included in every pay period. I think we are getting more business from a large group of hospitals that we currently do work for, and that is always a good thing. So far I like everyone that I have talked with and I am happy. Good luck to you.
You made a good choice!

Either would be a good choice. I've worked for both.
In the archives, both companies have good and bad comments. You have to weigh one against the other and whether you think someone is just disgruntled or not. Both are better than MQ or Sph.
Working for WebMedX is a good choice
From the companies available to work for, I would say this is one of the better. They have really decent benefits, the pay is good, they don't hassle you. Feedback/QA is great. I have to say they are one of my favorites that I have worked for and they are very fair to the employees. (Another good company is Phoenix).
P.S. Exact same hours of my choice, benefits, etc,, Good luck All!!....NM
ps
You made a good choice. The staff is great, program simple. Welcome! nm

I work for First Choice and have lots of ops.
I am not sure if they are hiring, but you can always check.
Any other First Choice MTs out of work today?
Or is it just me?
First Choice Medical might work. sm
The minimum daily requirement is 30 minutes of dictation. People are wonderful, QA is gently strict, and the pay is good. Don't know if it's hiring, though. IC only.
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

First Choice Medical- flexible? weekend work

First Choice Medical is a great company to work for, and I think they are hiring too.
I have been there for over 4 years now. They use WP51 too if you want. Good luck to you.
Anyone with work experience to share on All Type? Choice time once again.....sm
 and very happy holidays and merry christmas to everyone out there! TIA!
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

transcend good or bad?
 Seriously - can anyone give me some info about Transcend? How is management? How is QA? How is the work - enough or not enough to keep busy?Would like to hear from MTs working for them now or have worked for them.
IMO - Transcend is as good as it gets!
I have worked for Transcend for 3+ years. I have also worked for other LARGE outsourcing companies and on-site for different medical facilities.
In my opinion, Transcend is at the top of the heap as far as professionalism and ethical standards are concerned. The company has grown substantially since I started and they continue to provide their employees improvements to the benefit packages every year.
Their typing/editing platform is state of the art, and to go with it is excellent training and prompt top-notch support when you need it. This is not something I have received anywhere else.
If you are a competent medical language specialist capable of doing a broad spectrum of work types, you WILL NEVER run out of work.
If work work third shift and meet your productivity requirements, YOU WILL ALWAYS get work before any off-shore personnel (if that exists on an account you are assigned to -- it's the customer's choice, not Transcend's).
In addition, if you need help with anything, your management team is just an email away! No long curious waits, here!!
If you are capable of learning the ESL and challenging dictators, you will end up doing transcription because those don't usually get processed through the editing platform, so if that's your cup o' tea, that is always an option, which is a profitable option I have taken advantage of, myself.
BOTTOM LINE -- If you are having such a hard time with a company such as Transcend, I doubt you will be happy anywhere. I know first hand that Transcend respects good employees and takes care of them well.
Transcend - good, bad, middle?
Anyone care to comment? They have oncology work and it's my thang...
I had a good experience with Transcend
I had to leave for personal reasons. I can say though the training was adequate. The people were very nice and communicative. The pay was not bad at all and actually better than most companies. Unfortunately I am not allowed to discuss what the pay was because it is not allowed to be discussed. I would say so go for it. The recruiter was really nice and answered all of my questions. If she did not know the answer, she got it fairly quickly. I dont' have a bad thing to say. They do pay on time. 
Transcend? Keystrokes? Good or bad?
 Does anyone know anything about this company? Keystrokes?
transcend used to be good but they got too greedy -
too many Indians, too much crappy voice recognition that is not even close, a horrible platform that has multiple problems, line counts that are always a hours to a day late (reminds me of another company where no matter what I did I could never get over 1000 lines over the required minimum counts), and the nastiest ROMs in the business. You can have your transcend.
Transcend...good bad and ugly
Would like any current info on them.....Got hired and would like to know if it is worthwhile to take the job or not.
Thanks!
Transcend is a good place...
I always try to post this: The recruiter is excellent. She's awesome... The equipment came fast. I had a death in the family during training. They totally understood and was going to hire me back, but the need they had were different than the days I could commit to, but I highly recommend Transcend. They even started me higher than any other company I had contact with at that time. This was about 3 years ago.
Transcend... any comments, good, bad or ugly? TIA...nm

A bit strong. Transcend is good depending
I have worked with them in the past and returned 3 months ago. I am on a really really difficult ESL account, and I am having a learning curve to get to my full-time lines. But, the team lead and my regional manager have been a safety net for me by being very supportive and always addressing my concerns. I must say my account is not for the faint of heart, but the Beyond TXT is fine for me and I am getting there. The major reason why I am sticking out the learning process is because of my supervisor is so supportive and flexible with me taking longer to get my lines. I just about make my bills, and did not make the sign on bonus which is a negative. However, I will stick it out b/c I know that I can do it and make good money here. If you can do ESL and get a good supportive supervisor I would suggest you give it a serious consideration. I do believe there is money to be made at this company and there are a lot of people who have been there many many years. Good luck to you.
Transcend offshores, so I have a pretty good idea...
where the 40-50 reports are disappearing during *your* night (*their* day shift).
DSG supposedly doesn't offshore, so darned if I know why we keep running out of work, though I'm guessing just plain old overhiring; no doubt of displaced MTs from other offshoring companies, so it affects everybody, regardless of whether the MTSO actually offshores or not.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
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?
U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Transcend and no work...sm
I left Transcend over 1 year ago, and from what I have read here, nothing has changed except the forced VR, that I saw coming and one of the reasons I left. The other was NO WORK, especially on the last week of the pay period. On the weekend day that I HAD to work, I sat there and babysat my PC with NO WORK!!!. It was so frustrating, and I was NOT one who got on and worked when I wanted. I worked my scheduled shift everyday, all day long, and it was a struggle to get a decent line count...sometimes it was impossible because the accounts were over staffed. I know there are slow times, but this was for the WHOLE year that I stuck it out there. They had the most horrible accounts, sound quality was spotty and scratchy, and the dictators were awful. The worst accounts were the ones you had to have a "faxed" copy of the patients in order to even start typing the report; had to search through tons of awful faxed sheets....ugh!! I'm sick to my stomach just remembering it all. Apparently nothing has changed, and only gotten worse, as evidenced by the constant help wanted ads and complaints posted here. Sure glad I got out when I did. Flame away with "things are different", but I don't see any evidence of it in the posts I've read.
How is Transcend to work for?
I worked for MQ for 6 years and it sucked. Management was terrible. Raises were unheard of and you worked your butt off. They appreciate no one!
So do you work for Transcend?
Are you making 10 cpl with Transcend? If you are is that what you started at and how long have you been with them?
RE: So do you work for Transcend?
Yes I do, and I have been with them one year as of July.
Transcend...anybody able to work?
NM
Does anyone work for Transcend doing...sm
editing for voice recognition? I am thinking of making the transition as my hands are tired! But don't want to make a bad move and get paid nothing for hard work.
Currently work PT for Transcend
and so far doing okay. It was a challenge to learn Beyond TXT, but so was DQS, I have a problem learning new programs. The people are great and they have their own forum and web site to ask questions. No shift or weekend differentials. You have to E mail tech, but sometimes I just call them. They usually get right back to you. I heard a lot of negative posts about them on this site, I guess disgruntled ex-employees need to vent, but I have not found what they said to be true. It has been a positve experience for me. They leave me alone to do my work and I am picking up speed. 4 weeks now. I do get some hard dictators, but also some easy ones. I don't listen to a lot of the negative posts because in my experience, they are exaggerated. I have another job and that company gets a lot of negative posts also and the job has worked out fine for me. MT stars in general gets a lot of doom and gloom posts. The sky is definitely not falling.
I work for Transcend and it is no
company out there. The posts below are not true in my experience about as the person hiring was very nice to me and not rude at all. Please do understand, though, that every account they have they hope to get on VR and pay the MTs half per line what they are making doing MT, because it is expected your production will double on VR. So if you like doing VR and can do double what you transcribe, this would be a good company for that person. In the meantime, they still have plenty of regular work. Hope this helps.
I work for Transcend. Beyond TXT
to others I have been on. Also, all accounts will be going to VR in the near future, so if you like VR at half your line rate, go for it. Otherwise I would seriously think about this one.
All Transcend work going to ME
If you want to do MT, be prepared to being switched to ME in the very near future. This company wants all accounts on VR.
What is Transcend like to work for? How about MDI-FL? They both sm
talk a good game, but it sounds like a sales pitch and I want to get some honest opinions before leaving MQ.
I used to work for Transcend.
I also thought their platform was terrible and the training was a joke. That is why I left. They have the worst platform I have ever worked on. The training was the worst also. And the technical department, if you have a problem, you have to email them and wait and wait and wait for an answer, sometimes not until the next day. And they were crashing on a daily basis. Reports did not show up on my line count. I had to constantly email tech to see why a report did not show up. The worst company I have worked for.
I work for Transcend
They are a very good company to work for. I've been with them over a year now and have been treated very fairly and kindly. I highly recommend them. They're looking for MTs, so definitely consider them as your home. Hope this helps.
Transcend work
Where is it? I guess they have none. Anyone else having this?
