Love Merit

In Reply to: Feedback on Medware - GH
I love the Merit platform, but it's pretty much the only one I've known other than Medware's older one where you had to dial in. Merit is probably the only reason I stay with the company since I don't want to learn a new platform and I'm afraid it will be tedious. They do not have enough work right now though on the ER side, but maybe acute care and Dictaphone does.

I am using Merit.
I also think they have a Dictaphone.
MERIT
I found it to be a very user friendly platform to use.
Actually, I was on the Merit side.
Now I work for a company using Dictaphone, and I'm happy.
Only some of MW uses that. The ER work is all done on MeriT, which is their own. nm

Not all MW ER work is on MeriT - sm
I work on a primarily ER account and we are on the Dictaphone platform. I really love working for Medware.
I use Merit on the ER team

Merit Program
Compared to EXText? No comparison, way worse.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

MeriT versus ExText
I just started with Medware a little over a month ago as an Editor and work on the MeriT System. I worked on ExText before joining Medware and I like MeriT better. ExText is a great program, but I think MeriT is more MT friendly.
Medware Merit platform ~ anyone use
Hoping someone could let me know how well the 2 work together. Is the Merit platform easy to use ~ how does it compare to Extext? Thanks a bunch for any info!!!
Merit side of Medware....
Can anyone give me their opinion on how easy it is to get lines, etc. on the Merit side of Medware? I am currently on the dictaphone side, but have such problems with the software locking up that before I leave the company completely was wondering how the Merit side was. Thanks. 
merit versus dictaphone
merit sucks compared to extext
Merit of DeVenture's Reply
I have to give DeVenture credit for making their reply sound so credible. However, my understanding is that this case was not about one of your MTs at home. This case is about one of your administrative staff members NOT one of your typists, so this does not compare whatsoever. Nice try though.
Any information on Merit Tech
in AZ?
Thanks
Amen! I am a reviewer on the Merit side and could not
I have experienced nothing bad. Recruiter was honest and great to work with. Training was great and my Team Lead is the best!! Very happy with everything at Medware. I left a horrible company (OSi)!!!
I can see why they were voted Employer of the Year. They rock!!!!
Medware's Merit works with satellite
I have high speed satellite (DirecWay) and work for Medware.
Medware has 2 platforms, Merit and EXText
They use 2 platforms, their own called Merit and Dictaphone's EXText. Depends on what work type and account you ask for, different teams for each one. Hope that helps, I have been with Medware about 6 months and use EXText, it's awesome. I am on a clinic account.
I should say that this is for ER work, employee, Merit system. nm

How is MW's MeriT program as far as productivity goes? just curious
MW also uses their own software, Merit, which is very easy and organized. nm

Anyone use the Merit platform with MW? Good, bad, average? nm

I have worked on both sides, Merit and dictaphone.
I think the Dictaphone is better but the account I had you could not view old reports. You could open up another text client and view them that way, but opening up 2 word documents of any kind messed things up and I had to get out of everything and start over.
As far as the dictators, I had an easy-dictator account with both Merit and Dictaphone and yes, there was more than enough work to do on the Dictaphone side but the Merit account ran out quite a bit. I had encountered 3 different team leads during my stay tere and all were as nice as they could be.
Anybody running Smartype with the Medware MeriT program? (nm)
Word based expanders work with Merit
Hope that helps
You can't pick what accounts you get, only whether you are ER or acute. I do 2000+ on ER, Merit p
woowoo
Merit is what is screwed up. As usual. New managers couldn't care less.

Medware Merit or Voice Recognition platform..help me decide please.
t.y.
I wasn't productive on MeriT. Too much time spent entering demographic information...
There is no roster to pull patient names from, so you have to type what the docs say, and those ER docs speak at lightening speed. I spent more time trying to get the patient name right than I did typing the report. I really, really hated that.
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)
Love it there
Okay, I have read all the posts and have been keeping up with all of this. I wasn't going to say anything, but some of the naysayers are getting a little nasty. I think that Transcend is a very good company. All of their pay rates and incentives, bonuses and benefits are public knowledge on the forum. It would make it very hard for preferrential treatment to go. However, I suppose it could happen. What I don't get is if it is happening to someone, why wouldn't they do something about it instead of putting up with it and complaining to the world about it while they do it?
Also, there are a ton of posts on here about Transcend from this thread that are not nice about the company and I haven't seen MT Stars pull one single post. I guess they aren't as biased as some would claim!
LOVE THEM!
I've been with them for almost 6 months, and they are the best! They truly treat their MTs with respect. I would highly recommend them!
love JLG
I have been an MT a long time and JLG so far has been the best company to work for. Work flow is constant, management is great, and so far, I have not run out of work. If I have my way, I will never go outside the house to work again. I cannot imaging having to drive into town everyday with the price of gas right now!!!!
LOVE MY JOB
I love my job. Best job I have had. People nice to work for, flexible schedule, no nit-picky QA stuff, like "comma in the wrong place". And great pay. RAH RAH RAH...I didn't even have to take any test. Sent them my resume, the called and hired me.
I love it!
"little control freaks with no experience other than raising a few kids" ROFL! Yeah, you have that description down pat. Honestly, with some of the ranting emails we get from team leaders or account supervisors, I'd hate to hear them dealing with their children when they think nobody else is around. OK, so one person on the team did something wrong, so let's scream at everyone!
I love OSi..but I wonder about this, too
nm
MDI-FL...what is it that you love?
I just got hired by this company and am looking forward to getting started. It sounds like a great company to call home and that's just what I'm hoping to do. I really need a fresh start after a bad experience with a few nationals. They seem to have a lot to offer. I would love some input from current employees on what to expect. Is the work volume pretty stable? Platform user-friendly? Easy to make line counts? Are most of the dictators pretty good? Do you they pay every 2 weeks or only on certain dates of the month? Is pay always on time? Have the changes over the years been for the better? Would you say this company is here to stay? Sorry for all the questions; I'm just hoping this is the last MT I'll work for. Any info you can provide on the boards or off the boards would be much appreciated! 
You will love it!

I love....
You are a sick individual. I hardly ever come on these boards anymore because the level of discourse has sunk so low. There is someone else on this board who uses a name similar to mine and we have been mistaken for each other in the past. But, even if you mean to direct your comments to me, it is of no consequence to me because you are obviously ignorant. I have every right to my opinion and to express it. If low IQ people like you misinterpret what I have written, that's the price one pays for expressing oneself.
All I know is that I love the changes!
They are great! I can't wait! Don't care about much else. All of my accounts are on DocQscribe.
Would love to know if
feedback please.
Love OSI
...
Love it here at TH. And no way would they ever do that.
I've had emergencies, and as long as I communicate -- everything is FINE. The staff is nice. The work is decent (ESLs though and some mushy americans but who DOESN'T have those)... You can't beat their benefits and I've never EVER had a late paycheck. You can do worse, trust me.
Same here, love OPs.
