MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,

Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

Can we NOT do this on the company board?

Isn't this what the company board
The company board allows you to ask questions. I just can't see recruiters having the time to frequent this board and answer questions. Why not just contact the recruiter with questions. You'll get a right from the horse's mouth answer as opposed to people scorn. Everyone is different in their opinion. I've seen people that love Meditech or hate it. I've seen people that love Emdat and others that think it steals lines. So, I'm not so sure an additional board with the expectation that job recruiters will frequent this site all day and night and provide answers (also not knowing if it really is a recruiter) will enhance this site. It is what it is. If you want to ask about a company, the ask away on the company board, that's what it's for. Of course, this is all JMHO. 
BTW: This is on company board because at first
I was going to name the companies, but then decided not to for fear of losing jobs altogether. You know, word gets around, and this MT needs as many jobs as possible right now. So thanks for understanding about not putting on main board, this was meant to be put on company board. Tx

No not a company on this board. sm
I think I know the one you're referring to. This one is a big city hospital about 4 hours away from me so would have to relocate temporarily and then could come home and work. I don't particularly like that aspect of it either and that would cause a hardship too. I think hospitals are more rigid in their schedule requirements too. I know these type of jobs are far and few between and very coveted but I know I would not be happy having to work that shift. Thanks for your responses. I appreciate it more than you know.

just an FYI: This is the Company Board,
This is the company board, right?

moving that way
We are starting a new platform called MModal that will eventually lead to ASR so I am told. I believe some MTs are already doing this. I imagine they will do the same thing MQ does with the reduced pay for ASR.
moving to KS
Yes, I've spoken to many people and they all say Meditech Magic is very easy to learn and they have no problems getting their line count! It sounds like we are making a great move and, hopefully, a permanent one!
Good luck to you to!
Company board is back. NM.

Well thank you, company board police!
before posting anything to this forum in the future.
ask on the board for the unmentionable company, lol
someone there might know
I cannot believe that representatives from any company would come on to this or any other board
and call a poster a liar! My God, that is truly the most unprofessional thing ever. If this person worked for my company, they would be terminated before they could bat an eye! That KS thinks that this is acceptable makes my head hurt. The thing with these boards is that you pretty much have to just ignore what's being said about you. Every single company in this business has, or will have, something bad posted about them at some point. Ignore it and move on. By coming to the board to publically refute the allegations you are just lending credence to the issue and dragging it out. Not to mention looking like a classless, tactless idiot.
It belongs here, on the Company board. (NM)

Question regarding company on job board
There is a company who posted on the job board for the second time. I had applied the last time they were looking for MTs, and I was hired, or I thought I was hired. I did work for her and she was a really nice person who seemed like she wanted to work with me and my schedule. I had actually posted about her when I first started working for her saying how much I liked her. I was paid promptly and we had a lot of email communication. I didn't do much work for her but had told her that I would be available. We communicated back and forth with me telling her I was available for more work, and she said she would contact me to do more work. To make a long story short, I never heard back from her and now I see that she is posting again on the job board. I wish she would have at least told me that she didn't like my work or that I didn't work out for whatever reason, but I never heard a word. I guess my question is do you think I should email her again and ask her if she would still consider me for the position or would you just let it go.
Company Drama and the board
It seems to be that a daily drama has to be played out here. I sure hope things cheer up around here soon. It's getting to be no fun. I am becoming wary that it is not just the MTs causing the drama, but certain places of employment are experiencing growing pains and becoming dramatic. I am an MT who likes working at home to avoid the drama of the office. I am an MT who likes a predictable day, a predictable yet challenging job. For me all this drama is really getting to be a bit much. I don't know about you, but I sure hope that things calm down and a little less anxiety around here. Have a nice weekend. I am because I am signing off this place and will only lurk to see if the drama queen companies and MTs have calmed down. Have a nice weekend folks.
Run a search on the company board...
lots of recent info on Webmedx and MD-IT. Not sure about Hoffman. I've heard a lot of great feedback on Webmedx on this board. Good luck!
Oh, wait. This IS the Company Board.

this is for post further down, yes company board,
'have you ever worked out of the home'...sorry for confusion.
All acounts are moving to ASR
Webmedx is going to be converting all its accounts to ASR as soon as they can. Whatever they offer you now will be cut 30% when your accounts are converted. If you are Acute Care, you may be stuck with heavy ESL accounts now and depending on how much you like ESL you may have a hard time reaching the minimum 150 lines per hour because you will be training on up to 6 different accounts with different account specifics. In my opinion, I would ask lots of questions of the recruiter to find out what type of accounts they are hiring for and how long before they convert those accounts to ASR. Really depends on your frustration level. If you want consistent and hastle-free work, WMX may not be the best place for you. GOOD LUCK.
moving on is telling it like it is
I too have had horrible experiences. I think we both were previously working for the same company, a company highly recommended on this board. It was a huge disappointment as far as lines. It was impossible, too many foreign dictators and something funny going on with the line count. You wrote me and told me about Keystrokes. As well, I read your many posts about KS. I took a chance with your advice and accepted a job with them. You were speaking the truth and not just another recruiter. Thank you so much for recommending them and posting your experience with them:)
when vague, keep moving (I WOULD)

moving to the country
I'm moving to the country and will not have broadband or DSL available for who knows how long. I have not been in this situation before and would like to know if any of you know of any companies that do not require either of these - I will have access to dial-up and possibly some sort of high-speed that is brought in by a radio receiver on the top of my house. It's a good move - just maybe not a good move for an MT - any help with companies that do not require high-speed with cable or dsl would be appreciated.
moving to home
You might want to find out who your hospital is outsourcing to and check into them since you already know the dictators at your hospital well.
There is a lot of difference between companies. You just need to narrow down what you are looking for and which companies offer that. You need F/T with benefits, so that narrows it down some. Some companies pay just a base rate (per line) and others with a base rate with incentives depending on what time of day you work, what volume of work you do, or others. If you have any way of figuring out how many lines a day you type, or at the very least, how many hours you work and at what speed (and maybe someone on here can give you an estimate on lines per hour), then you can compare pay plans. You also need to make sure you find out how a line is defined at the companies you apply to. The standard is 65 characters per line. If a certain company defines a line as 55 characters per line then they can pay less per line because it doesn't take as many Keystrokes to get a line. Hope that makes sense. Most companies do go by 65 cpl, though.
There is no one-fits-all company, so don't be discouraged if the first company you go to doesn't work out. The second may.
Here are some companies that generally have good things posted about them and have benefits (as far as I'm aware): Keystrokes, TransTech, Webmedx... I'm drawing a blank on others. I would recommend staying away from Medquist, Spheris, SPi, Softscript.
Thanks for clearing that up....now I'm moving on ;) nm

there it is - MDI accounts moving to VR
We expect the integration with Transcend, including the conversion of some of MDI's business to Transcend's speech recognition-enabled BeyondTXT platform, to increase MDI's earnings...
