did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.

Can you tell me about the Amherst office as I just got transferred there and alrady seeing my work
disappear. Where does it go.
Yeah, but the sound quality is horrible on all accounts. Good luck with that!

Yes, I am talking about the fact that our accounts are being transferred to the NE Region. Are you
not aware of that. It is happening on Monday morning.
That doesnt sound too slow to me.. I would probably be slower, I am tired and old too.
 Wish it were just my fingers though.
There is no working out the bugs on bad sound. If it doesnt work you move on. My
accounts have problems but I put up with it, some people will, some wont.
Agree, lines are hard to get. I also think the sound quality doesnt help things. nm
:
Dont count on it. We got transferred to Amherst and all of a sudden tons of backups on the accounts
and no work.
Because the girls that monitor the accounts in the office were told the accounts either go on DQS or
move on. All accounts to be with MQ must be on DQS and no more different platforms. ONE ONLY DQS. They can send more work overseas then.
THAT MQ office does sound bad!
Keep in mind, they are not all the same. In 7 years of working for them, I've never had an experience remotely like that. My immediate supervisor will respond to my emails within the hour and my regional manager will respond at least the same day, usually within a couple of hours. I have never not received a pay check on time. I don't doubt she is telling the truth, but she got a bad apple. Doesn't mean they're all that way!
Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.
:
Was the sound bad on all the accounts that DSG has. nm
:
Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
How do the accounts seem. Decent sound and dictators do you think. nm
:
The sound on some of the accounts is so terrible I dont see how anyone does well with QA. You
can hardly understand what they are saying. You do the best you can.
It is my understanding that when an office closes the accounts that do not want to go on DQS are not
still serviced by MQ so that may also be what is going on. All accounts I believe must go on DQS or find another service.
Can anyone working for the Ohio MQ office tell me who they are and are the accounts decent to do or
are there a lot of ESLs. Thanks for any info you have.
I would send in your resume or call the office. Some accounts do not
use phone lines at all and are internet only. My account is an 800# but I am not sure if there are any openings on my account.
Great office staff, okay pay, horrible ESL's on all accounts. NM
NM
Lots of new accounts. I called the office to ask a question and sm
found out that there are more than a dozen new accounts starting in the next couple of weeks. I am happy at KS but anything is better than MQ. I left there a year ago and am very glad that I did.
DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
DSG2 accounts are awful..dictators and sound quality.
I hope you are right because my office adamantly denied until it happened that our accounts were
moving and they are closing.
Great office staff, okay pay, no benefits, horrible ESL all accounts...NM

Seems like the same docs on my accounts, but sound quality is turning into an issue. Hang in there!

Warminster office is about ready to close its doors. Our accounts unfortunately went to Amherst. I
understand they are going to have a national system not regional where when there is a hospital that needs help people out of work get work in it. I would rather have a main account or a few I know so I am not sure about this new deal. Maybe they are going in with Spheris.
I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on.
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Well thanks but that does not sound too good does it? for OSI I mean. nm
.
I'm with them. Good work environment, easy accounts and I'm making really good money. nm
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
What happened there? Did they can a few of the QA? You sound like one of the good ones. nm

Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
They do sound like a good company (sm)
and as long as they have people who volunteer to work holidays, they won't have to make rules about it.
sure does not sound like a good move if you are not getting sm
the work types you like and are good at. Sorry to hear you are not happy.
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

The sound files are usually quite good, actually.
Of course, every once in a while you get a bad quality report.
Good - they use their virtual office
setting to treat people like crap because they don't have to actually see them face to face. When they come here they get to see how many people who work for them are unhappy, and um, real people.
Medquist is starting to sound really GOOD!
I work for a national where the platform's been down more than up for the last few months, and they don't pay a penny for downtime.
Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM
f
Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm
xx
sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg
It sounds as if the owner loses her cool! Not good! Thanks!
Which office are you in. I am in Amherst and always out of work along with everyone else. What good
do the incentive plans they bring out do if we have not work. Isnt that crazy. You get x amount of money for x amount of lines but no work and now they will give employees more leeway to get their lines in so we will all be fighting for lines at all hours.
Why don't these companies realize that good sound quality is
essential for transcribing. If the big bosses had to listen to the scratches and static for hours on end, day after day, maybe this wouldn't happen, but most of them don't even know what a foot pedal and headset are. I find that the sound quality from the internet files are far worse than anything I ever encountered on DVI, C-phone, or Lanier systems telephone systems.
Only good thing I have heard lately is that a friend of mine, also an MT recently filed for disability based on hearing loss and/or inability to hear the files that she was required to do and won the case for total disability. She does have some hearing loss, but when she took her computer to the hearing and dialed in and had the adjudicator listen, there was no question that she would never be able to continue in this line of work. Maybe a few more workman comp cases would wake them up.
I'm so sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound good. I hope you

I just transferred SH files there
I just started there this week and was able to transfer my old SH files from my last job into their SH, no problem.
If you work on the RadNet program and dial in with the VPN dialer, your email is disabled until you get off the VPN. I have to call people with any questions instead of emailing them as long as I'm on that VPN.
I don't know that it can be transferred to Word SM
auto-correct. You can, however, transfer your user file over to a 3rd party Expander like ShortHand (which is what I use) and, I believe, also Instant Text.
You can download a 30-day free trial of SH. The tech people at SH were able to help me with transferring my expansions over to SH. Well worth the money IMO.
I know what you mean about not wanting to start from scratch.
Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm
v
If you say anything good about this company, the trolls want to knock you down,but..Sound is fine
nm
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
