think the general concensus is Spheris isn't a good company.

Lots in archives on TRS, nothing good. Don't know
anything about All-type, but I have seen them mentioned so info is in archives too.
Lots of info in the archives. nm

Lots of stuff about them in the archives, none of it

Found lots in archives. Thanks though!

Lots of info on all in the archives.
SS is a horrible company. They are constantly hiring and new accounts isn't the reason. I don't think Keystrokes hires for PT.
Search the archives, lots of info on them.
They're great; lots in the archives
Yeah, you get bonuses based on your lines per hour rate, for all lines, not just the extra ones. The past few months I've been able to add 2 cents to my line rate based on the bonuses. Insurance is about $50 out of my paycheck for just me.
Lots of stuff in archives; go to the page numbers at the bottom, hit Ctrl-F for find and type in WebMedX.
The only possible negative I can think of is ESLs and slightly more difficult work, but if you passed their test, you should be fine. You're mostly on the same accounts, so you get used to them.
Read the archives, lots of info there.
Check the archives. Lots about them recently.
I wouldn't bother. They can't get you anything better than you can get yourself. They are basically recruiters who get paid if you are hired, but they don't have a whole bunch of companies so they aren't really weeding them out for you.
Check the archives, lots on them. Indian run. nm
Lots of info in the archives. Seems to be a mass
exodus going on.
Lots of stuff in the archives, but it is a horrible
company. Some of the worst ESLs, sound quality horrible at least on some accounts, frequent turnover. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.
Lots of posts in archives stating that it is
a Indian run company. Supposedly they have a U.S. storefront office in MA. Turnover is very high, which is why they constantly have ads running. The only good thing I've ever heard about them is they will hire newbies. They pretty much have to because an experienced MT would not want to work for them unless they couldn't find a job elsewhere.
Yep. Like other poster said, lots in the archives. 99+% good feedback
on this company. Check the archives.
Is anyone happy at OSI in Douglasville, GA? Lots of negatives in archives - SM
but I also remember reading some positive comments. I am a CMT with 30 years of experience, and I need employee status with good, affordable health insurance. I so wish I could fine some place where I can stay until I retire, or at least a long, long time!
Lots of posts recently in the archives. Horrible
company
Check the archives and more recent posts. Lots of info there.

Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
Horrible place. Check the archives, lots of info there.
Lots of information.
Google it. There are many hits for E-Dictate.
Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
The archives are full of specifics. Lots of details that should take care of your "need". NM

Any new information on eTransPlus?? Everything is old in the archives.
TIA for any information. Apparently they are hiring for a new account and have a sign-on bonus so I thouht I'd check it out. Thanks
All that information is in the archives. It may even be 3 or 4 posts
down from where you are asking. Maybe how many years of experience they have isn't listed, but then there are no guidelines which we are told to follow about posting about a company. I know I worked for SoftScript and it was horrendous and I didn't have any non-ESL dictators. Someone else will post about how wonderful a company it is, but all of the Ex-SS have figured out it is probably management because we ALL know better. I figure there is there are at least a dozen posts and 11 of them are negative then it is a bad company. I do agree though that a newbie doesn't know there is anything better out there.
Many times people post read the archives and I'm guilty of that, because a company has been discussed so much and the very same questions asked again and again and again. I tihnk it is up to us to do our own research, just like the word boards aren't for those too lazy to Google something.
You can search the archives for more information.
I had looked up the platform too and I think it's worth a try. Again, I've been on platforms like Escription which I averaged $30 an hour on and others have said they were starving. So, again, I think it is also up to the person.
Found the information in the archives, thanks (sm)
I called the phone number and it answers for Macro-Solutions. I also checked with the BBB and sure enough they have been in business for a long time and have an excellent rating BUT the contact name is different than the name given with the BBB, but that could be because it is the HR person posting the ad. I still think that something is fishy with it, who knows though.
Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
Any information on All Type. Could not find anything in the archives.
I know they are hiring so I am just trying to gather some information before applying.
I noticed that some of the archives had contradicting information also.
Thought maybe someone that worked for them currently or recently could give some insight. I guess no job is perfect and there is good and bad everywhere, just depends on what you can and can't live with. Have been offered a job and just want to make the best informed decision I can.
PS - Archives give conflicting information.
Some posts say they provide no benefits. Some posts say they have a line count quota and other posts say there is no line quota. Some say they deduct for errors and other posts say they don't deduct. Some posts say they offshore and other posts say the don't offshore. Very confused. That's why I posted another inquiry into this company.
Search the archives, there is loads of information
on this company, IF it is the one out of Fort Mill, SC, and none of the information is good, bouncing checks, no pay, etc., etc., etc. 
A search here turns up lots of negative information.
Best of luck with your continued job search. 
Any NEW information about Interpro? All I find in the archives arent very recent

STAY AWAY from this company! Do a search here. Lots of information, none of it good.
Horrible, horrible place. Lots in the archives.
Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of work. You will love
