I get that they are relatively new, but with nothing at all coming up on Google search (not even a phone listing), it's understandable why people questioned. I still think it's strange there is literally nothing available online, even using her name and variations, but the address seems to be an office building of sorts, so that seems plausible.
Good luck to those who applied. I hope it ends up being a diamond in the rough. :)

Don't know if they even exist. I live right here in NY and they've never responded to my resum
s
I've heard the pay isn't that great, nice people tho. NM
:
Pay always on time, platform is easy, they've always been nice to me, do have several accounts to
avoid running out of work. I do MT and QA.
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Thank you so much -- you saved
me an hour of two of wasted effort. Much appreciated!
I don’t have to be saved because my job
is not my major form of income, actually have more coming from other sources than my 8 hours a day spent on transcription.
Thanks very much, you have saved
me from another big disappointment, although for a company to top MDI, it would have to be a tragedy.
Saved me from being ripped off!!

They probably saved all the work for you...
and we are all stuck with nothing. I haven't been able to get anywhere near 1000 lines for months now. Have been an MT for over 12 years so.....funny you have a bunch of work and I have next to nothing.
You could have saved some of us time by
stating that you only were interested in encouraging posts, rather than those representing the current situation. I was actually wasting more of my time by trying to post links for you of the serious no-work situation, but see that you're not interested in anything not encouraging posts. Have fun!! As many others have honestly shared the last months about MDI-MD, I hope your finances don't depend on this company right now, as they weren't able to handle many of us new hires. Not even 5 training jobs a day. Their regular workers experience same, too, but, lest I sound not encouraging, I'll just shut up now.
cpl earned, cpl saved
Earnings were better in the past. New software for speech recognition is competitive. Offshoring removes lucrative reports for transcription by low paid workers in other climes. Meanwhile in USA in our company, the residue is difficult to hear, but our company has begun to ban putting blanks in the report, to promote cost savings in the proofreading departments: fewer blanks, fewer proofreaders on payroll. Medquist is wave of competitive future.
No way!!! After all the money they saved (sm)
giving their employees the Print your own cookbook for Christmas. I would have appreciated a card far more.
I know they pay the most for ASR and think you are all probably right and we are going to get hit in the chops with this one. At least I work at home and can attend the meeting with a margarita in hand.
Hoping for the best, but after 10 years of MQ and the crap they put us through I am a little gun shy.
I saved the old one to my computer and SM
I think I'm going to start applying to other places. Just the fact that they would announce this at the end of the business day before Memorial Day weekend and leave us hanging like that until Tuesday is such a turnoff, but I shouldn't be surprised. This company has really gotten horrible in the past year.
I have saved a ton of money this way
I have Blue Cross, which isn't the best, but I have had 2 C-sections with it. Both times the hospital charged over $11,000 for the hospital services, not including baby's nursery, OB fees, etc. Blue Cross contracts with them and tells them how much their clients can be charged. Both times I have gotten bills automatically reduced to $2800. Of course, that went to my high maternity deductible, but that's over $9000 in savings, well worth the premiums.
Almost all of our lab fees, testing, procedures, etc. are reduced this way. I pay a copay for basic office visits and that's just flat.
FMLA only gives you the right to be out - the only pay you would get would be saved PTO or short-ter

I hope you SAVED those e-mails.
nm
You're welcome. I applied and had saved the info. nm
xx
I also saved EVERY email from them so I can back up the info below
nm
Their ads say .09 per line, 1.10 per report, which you could have saved yourself time by reading.
nm
Thanks to all who responded! SM
I will definitely ride it out, knowing about the time of year, and use it to build speed with the new work, etc. Glad I posted; I'm a better frame of mind now about the lack of work. 
Thank you to everyone who responded!
I appreciate all of your responses to my dilemna. I will give it more time and hold onto my old job for now also. Thank you to everyone and Happy Holidays!
Thanks to all who responded....
Think I'll pass and not waste my time with the interview.
Thanks, I responded. :)
xx
Thanks so much to everyone that responded, I did
Go and apply with this company and received a *ticket.* I received a message that stated that they would be in touch with me when and if they started hiring and if I met their criteria, fingers crossed. Are you working for them now?
Gosh..thanks for your honesty. I have not found ONE positive about them. I'll pass. You saved me
a lot of trouble it sounds like. 
Thanks to all the wonderful MTs who have responded to the ads
as well as to all those who have been with us awhile. Sue and I, along with Wendy and Vikki, Nancie, Diane, Pat, and the rest of the staff are so grateful to everyone who helps make this a great place to work and a success. We are very happy that so many new MTs will be joining us.
I know I applied with them, and they never responded.

I responded privately, thank you.

I sent my resume and he responded
back with an email asking if I would be interested in testing. I emailed back and said I didn't mind and asked for their website. He emailed back with their website and said HR would be contacting me soon.
Guess I'll have to wait and see how long that takes! Good luck to you though.
Look further down this post. She responded
yesterday - Bright Universe.
Got your emails and have responded
Thanks so much! The information is truly appreciated. I sent you a reply via email, as well, and I hope you will respond. Thanks again!
Blackswan, sorry nobody has responded.
I have no idea about Orion, though I know there were recent posts here about them. Oracle has always had a negative response. I know I had signed on with them years ago and was so excited and thrilled. Then everything went wrong tech and set up wise. I remember I had to buy PC anywhere, something like that, and then never got my training, dates set and broken by them, etc. That seems to be the norm. Landmark - very low work volumes, and don't pay for spaces. MTs come and go regularly, as accounts seem to come and go regularly. I have always heard fine for PT, but not for full time.
I have not responded yet. It was suggested that
we should let them know when we were ready to train. I figure when It gets to the point when I am not getting my required lines for the pay period, I will left them know I need the training.
I responded for more VR and am getting less work sm
period on my primary account. I spend most times on my secondary and am just making the 11,000 line count per payperiod. I had been hoping to pick up enough extra to make the incentives but that is out of the question. My paycheck is really hurting. I can't work like this much longer.
I'm the person you responded to sm
the milk is for my daughter. Should I have just told her there is no milk and have her use water in her cereal? You are absolutely heartless to ridicule a situation like mine or any other person's.
To the person who responded RE: Key Transcription in ND
I looked in the archives and on MT Spot and didn't find anything. Did you work for them previously? If so, would it be okay if I emailed you? If not, could you possibly provide a link to any past threads about this company? I'd greatly appreciate it. I've been offered a position with Key, but I'm having second thoughts, especially since I saw your post. Thanks.
Sorry, I had not had coffee when I responded earlier ... sm
best of luck to you too. I'm sorry that you are having to go through all this. I think most of us just want to work hard and do a good job and be treated fairly by our employers. Seems so simple, but in my experience it has been hard to find. I'm moving on and hopefully will have found a better employer.
To Mary who responded by e-mail (sm)
Thank you. I tried to send a brief message back to you at your e-mail address twice but it came back. Thanks for the info.
okay, your emails finally came and I responded
x
They responded to my resume within 24-hours and
within 3 days of submitting resume I had an offer. I submitted resume through their website, was unsure if they were even hiring.
Nandan has been told many times. He never has responded to
what he was told. They had a great team the Spring of 2004 and all left and what was left in management were the remnants with an owner of a co that they purchased from her, so she was it! Everyone else had to listen to her jibberish and kiss her b*tt!!
Good people got away, management caliber. Sad, but that's how they operate
I can only assume that the company which has not responded is either of the opinion that (sm)
if you are seriously interested in the position, you will find a way to take the test -- wav pedal or not, or just haven't had time to respond yet. I've tested without a pedal and, while yes it is more time consuming, it can be done. As far as the dial up is concerned, I would think that if sent them an email requesting their system requirements, the information would be divulged, within a day or so.
I accidentally responded to wrong person
I got trigger-finger happy hehe
I emailed you before for info about KS and you have not responded. I am looking for information sm
on them, and you said that you had a reason for their high turnover. I am trying to make a decision this weekend. ***
Once upon a time, a surgeon responded to my concerns
The girls were tearing up the 3 surgeons up one side and down the other. And OMG, what they had to say about the office manager!!! I felt they were betraying the man who fed them. So...I went into his office and said, Dr., the morale is very low, the office staff are very upset, threatening to find new jobs and I thought it should be addressed during a staff meeting.
His response was: Do not pay attention to what they say. Venting is a necessary part of being a part of the work force (when you are an employee). The doctor brushed it off,did not want to hear the details and he did not really care who was the instigator. He felt that as long as they showed up on time, held up their end of the load and were pleasant with the patients (anorectal surgeons - ouch).
That office staff who whined and complained and ridiculed was with the surgical team for over 10 years - An RN, 2 front office, insurance cler and med Records gal.
Huge Bonuses (which say THANK YOU!) at Christmas brought momentary pleasantness but come mid January, they'd start again, feeding off each other, like a bunch of women at a Sewing Circle (have you seen the pic on this website depicting us as women in a sewing circle, dear?)
Bottom line - it is harmless. If money is there and then not there, without warning, a person who is not complaining about it is the one I'd be curious about.
I think you know what I meant. That is not the problem as I responded directly to her email.
I am sure that any other company that tried to respond to her also had the same problem. I know it is sbcglobal.net but hey, I am not on here to get QA'd. I in a very quick moment put up a message to an MT who wanted a job and did it very quickly in the middle of my busy schedule trying to be courteous and helpful.
Have a nice evening or was that eneving. :)
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
I e-mailed them and responded back almost immediately, offered low pay. 45 minute interview. nm
nm
Yes! Nice lady, nice company. nm
