Awfully vague
All that vague wording is a red flag to me.
Transcriptionist: So when will I be up and running?
Answer: 
vague?
k, all I did was do a search for Smartmed and a ton of stuff came up. Problem is that it is not recent.
ANYBODY have recent info on them. OR are they offering 10-12 cents because of problems keeping people, still cumbersome software, etc.
Something is telling me to run away from these people, lol.
Yeah, could you be a bit more vague..NM
when vague, keep moving (I WOULD)
.
That is a rather vague answer...they pay about the same?
There is a large window of about the same in this field anymore. Ive seen as little as 6cpl and as much as 10cpl. Are you saying they pay about 8?
Go vague on them. Most don't care about why you left
or where you worked, as long as you pass their test.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Independent contractor for assorted local and national accounts. Worked on blah, blah, and blah specialties. Experience in basic four, SOAPs, blah, blah.
May I ask why you were not happy? Vague statements don't help very much. sm
If you don't feel comfortable posting here, please feel free to email your response.
Thank you for clarifying - post was very vague
I was very shocked to read this post. I have not defamed, posted or made negative comments about KS since leaving - not once, and I would have been very disappointed to know they did not show me/us the same courtesy. Again, thanks for clarifying.
Testing requirements often way to vague.
In defense of those experienced MTs who do not pass muster when testing with new companies (and we hear that a lot, that they just aren't up to snuff somehow), I have to say that sometimes the failure may not be with the MT at all. Some MTSOs behave as if the specific ways they want their tests done are the ways ALL reports are always done at every company in existence. A really experienced MT knows that there are MANY ways to transcribe a report (verbatim, modified verbatim, edit for clarity, for example). The MT can hardly be faulted if the MTSO demands absolute verbatim but the MT has always worked where editing for clarity (not being creative, but producing a superior document, IMHO)is the order of the day.
I always have to roll my eyes when asked to test as if you know every detail of the BOS!! - when really the BOS gives very broad latitude to change/edit unclear and sloppy dictation. How are we supposed to know how any particular MTSO wants its reports done, unless it SAYS SO - and they rarely do. It's often a no-win situation for the MT - tweak the report to enhance clarity, and the MTSO is sure to want strict verbatim. Go strict verbatim, and the MTSO is sure to think they don't want you, you're way too rigid and the final report is unreadable because of dictator error that you faithfully transcribed.
I always say, do the report the way you would want it done if you were the patient in question. If the MTSO hates it, you didn't want to work there and be asked to do what makes you uncomfortable, anyway. Eventually you will find an MTSO that appreciates your skill and is a good fit for your talent, so keep on testing, and don't let it get you down if they don't call back. Again, it may not be that you aren't proficient, but they are simply looking for a different style and neglected to tell you about it beforehand.
I got an email from them today as well....it was very vague about what positions ....
were available. And the person who sent this email sent a mass mailing to several (at least 25 or 30) transcriptionists at one time. Seems to me this person is canvassing or trolling per se. I'm very uncomfortable with this one because I've never heard of them nor are they in any archives here on this board. I am also looking for any information on this company. Merry Christmas all.
MedWrite1.....anyone ever hear of them? Got a VERY vague email.....
stating that they have about 12 MT positions open. Nothing else, no specialty or anything. Thanks.
always so vague. What is it about this company that causes so many posts, good and bad? nm

Talk about a vague response - changed since when? in what way? sm
I've been with Webmedx for 8 years and nothing has changed lately for me. I'm happy, plenty of work (in fact lots of OT), same accounts that I've worked for years, same manager. What has changed for you for the worse?
I was curious, but it was rather vague, and no I didnt respond. nm

That's what I'm thinking. The ad is intriguing but so vague. Would love to know if anyone find
xx
Anyone know anything about Global Information Systems? Any information would be appreciated. nm
MedScribe Information Systems, Inc - Information please?
Anyone with information on this company?
Looking for information on QED. sm
I have never heard of them before. I read some old archives but am interested in hearing from any recent employees. I've heard the pay is low. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Information
Does anyone know anything about a company called Archivus?
SM for information.
An expander is a program in which you put in shortcuts to "expand" to longer words, sentences, and phrases. For example, typing "forex" produces "for example." They can be used for phrases like
tp for the patient
lt for left
rt for right
egdx for esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Shorthand and Instant Text are 2 of the most popular.

Does anyone have any information
TIA
Thank you for the information!
That is helpful.
Thanks for the information.
You were very kind to respond.
No, but if this were information
 that was really any of your business, you wouldn't have to ask.

Does anyone have any information
I have asked a few times and can find nothing when I do a search on them? TIA
A little information for you
I am not the original person who answered your post, but I also work for Amphion. When you are first hired with them, they will basically ask you what hours you plan on working. They are hours of your choosing, but they just ask that you try to stay working that schedule, so that they can provide adequate coverage on their accounts. They are, however, very accommodating should you need to change your schedule. They hire both part-time and full-time employee status. Very nice folks to work for! Good luck to you. 
Sorry, don't have information but would like to know
Thanks.
I like to come here for information..., sm
but by the time you wade through all the hateful remarks, it just makes you sick! I am very glad for the time spent on getting rid of some of the junk around here. 
Information
Can you email me with more information? Where are you located? How many MTs work for you currently? Thanks!
I'd appreciate any information on any of these, too
--but I can say I did consider FastChart a few years ago; my decision was between them and my current employer, for whom I work as an employee and not as an IC, as I would have with FastChart.
What killed my consideration of FastChart was the poor line rate; I believe it was 0.065/line at the time, and that, coupled with IC status and filing my own taxes, etc., just didn't beat EDiX's offer of 0.07/line plus benefits.
I'm most curious about Oracle and Proscript and appreciate the PS feedback already provided. At this point, I'll take any advice anyone offers, though. I just don't think the future at my present company is looking so bright.
Thanks, all.
There is quite a bit of information in the
archives on Spheris. I worked there and have posted much about them (positive experience). I even posted a lengthy comparison between Spheris and MedQuist.
If you will do a search, you will find plenty of information.
Thanks for the information!

Information (SM)
If you are referring to the parent company of MedQuist, you need to take this discussion to the MQ board.
ALL discussions about MQ are to be on that particular board.
I am letting your post stand for now to see if you will clarify if there is a private MTSO called Phillips MT that you are inquiring about.
Goldbird
Thanks for the information. sm
Everything that I heard about them was good, until I took the job offer, of course!
My information to do with what I want. sm
I agree it is crass to ask someone what they make. I do not agree that someone has the right to tell my personal information cannot be shared with whomever I chose to share it with.
Thanks for the information. - sm
I guess this should have been titled autotext or word Expander question! They (Futurenet) told me they have a Word Expander program, but I'm guessing they meant the autotext feature in MS Word.
Here is the information you are looking for - sm
DocumMed Medical Transcriptions

this has even more information
including a FAQ list about the purchase.
More information please! sm
Do you mind sharing some additional information such as FT/PT, minimum line requirements, set schedules/shifts, QA support, TAT? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Any other information.... sm
such as PT/FT, TAT, type of schedule, minimum lines, weekend requirement, pools or own accounts, etc. Thanks!
More information
3 p - 11p + $2/h
11p - 7 a + $3/h
This is in addition to your line rate.
Where do you get your information?
Please let me know where you heard this because I have worked for Precyse for quite awhile, continue to have the same accounts (probably because they have a lot of ESLs and nobody else wants them). I do know they have some accounts and MTs testing it out, but are quick to tell us that with the problems all the other companies are having, they are quite hesitant about how efficient and productive it would be.
More information please!

OSi information
I recently had a phone interview with this company, and was very happy with the interview. Currently I am waiting for a confirmation on the job offer. Anybody with some information, good or bad, I would be very happy to hear anything. At this point I feel like I am getting the run around, like they are too busy to get back to me.
