You sound like management to me
I realize all companies have issues. I have been very satisfied with them until recently (been there nearly 2 years). All we are saying is we want them to supply enough to work to allow us to meet the line requirement set in place by THEM. I have not seen a single e-mail in their endless stream of account updates letting us know it would be taken into consideration the lack of work recently when the end of the pay period rolls around and we do not have enough lines. My issue is plain and simple - I signed up to work and want to do it.
sound like management
this is an old ploy by MQ BUT they guarantee work... lol
if you need insurance you must fulfill their requirements but if you sit idle because of NO WORK then you suffer financially and insurance wise....
You sound like management
Why would a contractor or employee challenge another poster to share if you were actually meeting those requirements or if what you are saying happened occurred because you did not meet them?
My experience with All Type was terrible - and management was unprofessional and not mature.
If they are management, sure they sound awsome.

Softscript! Horrible sound quality, awful dictators, bad management, and late paychecks...nm
nm
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
Yes, I should have gone to management to work it out.
Actually the manager of this person did call me to discuss the matter, and looking back I should have talked about the problem, but did not because I thought it was very high school behavior and I did not want to speak poorly about my supervisor's attitude. I was actually there less than 2 weeks, in response to the old timer comment and yes you can tell a nasty person that quickly. Of course if you have the ability to ignore that it is up to you. However, professionalism is tops to me when working for anywhere, they expect me to be professional, I expect the same in return. I never did talk to the person's manager because I figured people don't change and I am not one to try. For me it was not the place. For other people it might be. Just stating my personal experience is all. No need to discount it. Fact for me need not be discounted only learned from and then decide for yourself is all.
Used to work for the old MTA also and liked the management -

Not management, never have been and don’t work for TT
I did not want to do VR but my hospital went to it around 2002. I had worked there so many years and did not want to find a new job. What I see are others who do VR and we see we are put down by people thinking we are slow, cannot make it in the regular work of MTing and where people get this from I have no idea. I have tried to explain what VR is, how if you get a good group to train it can be a money maker. You have to be able to go extremely fast and be a good editor, otherwise you can throw the towel in now. My quality did not go down when I started, otherwise no job. I am graded every 3 months and still maintain a high 97-98% accuracy rate. The main thing I see when I and others are accused of management is we are slow and we have to be managers. Nope, I just try to hopefully try to explain how it is and if you get a good platform and people to train, even though the pay may not be good (I make 4 cents a line) you can average $20 something dollars an hour. I have heard in my company people make more but I don’t. True it is not the money I made inhouse but I really like.
Unfortunately, this does sound like the JLG I work for (sm)
recently took from 5/26 (supposedly, at least) until 6/6 for me to get my paycheck, and it always takes over a week (yet somehow when they want me to fill something out or whatever for their purposes, it gets here much quicker...) Have to pretty much agree with mt34+ on everything here, except I'm still working for them. Haven't yet quite convinced myself that the grass will be greener anywhere else, I guess!
did you work for MTS? sound like them for sure!
nm
I'd love to work for OSI in management
LOL
Although I am not in management, I work close with them. sm
They do not offshore. If you have experience, negotitate your line rate. You will get very close to what you want if you are good.
They do work with new MTs, which I think is a great thing for them. Everyone needs someplace to get the experience.
If I had to say one negative thing about them it is this... they are pretty strict on the schedule you set for yourself.
They do offer 2nd and 3rd shift differential. There is also a weekend differential. They do offer further bonuses from time to time.
I personally like their software since it is integrated with Word. It is very easy to use and easy to learn.
Although I am full time, I cannot elaborate on their benefits. I know they have medical, but no dental or vision as far as I know. However, my spouse carries the insurance so that was never an issue for me.
I hope this helps. I know a lot of people do not like Softscript. I can say if you would have asked me 1-1/2 years ago, I probably would have agreed with them, but there have been a lot of changes and they really are for the better of the employee not just the company.
May I ask how the work is at DSG right now. Are you still having problems with sound and is that
mainly with DSG2. I have been contacted by them and am considering what I want to do. Thanks much.
I work on DSG-2 and one account the sound can be sm
horrible but the other accounts are pretty good. No real problems with sound.
Sound quality and now, no work
I just love it when I get up early to work my required sch'd hours and see 0 reports on all my accounts. The DQS system had horrible sound quality even when I worked at MedQuist, so I don't believe it's much to do with any given company but more due to the platform of choice.
Wow, does not sound like the JLG I work for! You are scaring me! sm
My experience has been quite the opposite, but then again I came from MQ so I could be tied up and dragged by my toes while having needles stuck in my eyes and I'd think it was better. Just kidding, but other than not have DD, no complaints at all here.
Does anyone work for Adept Word Management
and if so are they are good company? Do they pay on time and are they flexible with schedules? Is the work steady? Thanks in advance for any information you can give. Have a great day!
Get off your high horse and go work your management job...sm
This is a board for opinions, isn't it? So don't tell me to get my facts straight.
Low work volumes, horrible sound
What is going on with Transcend?
I am about to leave also and I never thought I'd see myself type that!
I have no sound issues, plenty of work...
Not sure what platform you are on, but I am on 2 of the Dictaphone accounts and there is so much work not sure how we are going to get it all done. My team leader is good and the company has some of the best benefits of any place I have worked, and believe me I have worked for a lot of companies. I am sure it is not a fit for all, but what MT company is.
Doesn't sound like the Transtech I work for...NM

I work for DSG now and the sound quality is just fine sm
now that they are not doing MQ subcontracting.
However, I'm wondering why they are hiring. Of course all companies want their reports back in the right TAT but why do they always have to over hire? I am sure they want weekend and night coverage. That's a problem I think with any company. Even at MQ we are being asked to change our working hours to afternoon, evenings and weekends.
Work can be really low at times and I find the sound to not be the
best but it is not any worse than a lot of the other places.
Can anyone comment on the sound quality and JLG and work availability? nm
,
Anyone presently working for DSG that can tell me do you have work and is the sound still so poor
or is that in DSG 2. Would appreciate hearing from current people working there.
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.
DSG is a good fit for me, management friendly, pay on time, occasionally running out of work is one
of my biggest complaints, but it is usually not for long, just enough to upset the routine. Production incentive a plus. Sound quality depends on the account.
Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma
services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational. ALL software has its share of problems. It's the nature of the business. When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO? If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement? Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?
My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete. It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.
All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions. If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it. If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on. However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt. While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.
Good Luck!
MT Manners 
I used to work for a Tailor Made Transcription that was called TMT for short - does that sound right

DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, recent management changes, email me if you want
to ask specific questions and I'll try to answer them.
Let's see...lousy sound quality, dictators with no skill, unavailable QA, running out of work.nm
s
How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm
s
Good company, pay on time direct deposit, work usually plentiful, nice coworkers and management has
always been very nice to me. Incentive for MT over production goals.
Hello Management
Give me a break! You are a supervisor, and I know who you are. Spare us this bologna.
SB
If only more management could be like you!
I'd buy you a drink as well! Thank you for the kind words.
Management again??!!!
kidding. "Excellent program", is that why everyone is leaving OSi, because it is so good??!!!
Management...don't you have anything to do?
If TT is growing by leaps and bounds, how do you have the time to get on here and contradict the truth? You don't like negatives about your company, but you're not perfect either.
I am not management -- I don't even
work for them anymore! You can state your opinion, but you are giving inaccurate information about things such as benefits and whether or not you can use ShortHand. Obviously I wasn't all that thrilled with them either or I would still be there.
lol, I have been an MT for 20+ yrs and many of them in management.

I don't know when the management...SM
was ever great, it was bad 4 years ago when I was there and from your description things haven't changed a bit since then. A bunch of office people with titles, the MTs typing all the work are ignored, avoided and treated badly. We used to call the office in Pittsburgh a kingdom because it was filled with people who never worked past 4:00 in the afternoon, 2:00 on Fridays...never to be heard from until Monday around 9:00 AM.
Not management
I never said I agreed with them docking your pay for errors. BUT, I did say that they only do it if you fall below 98%. Isn't this the norm? Keeping an accuracy rate of 98% or better? So why would you worry about being docked if you maintain 98% or better? They are like any other MT companies, they want quality reports.
Not Management
potatoMT RIGHT ON
NOT management and sorry you could not cut it. nm

Definitely has to be management ..SS
AMEN !!!
I am definitely NOT their management.......
or anyone else's for that matter. I am just a lowly pee-on MT with 6 years experience trying to make an honest living, and get nothing but lies from this company. I am looking for other work, just like the others who have emailed me privately, who also work for them now and are in the same predicament that I am in. Work flow lying is the main problem with this company. They say there is none, but, in fact, there is. They just turn you off. When there is work, why not give it to us??? This question has been asked by us more than once. Lots more companies out there, so we will just keep looking.
Why don't you take this up with management. (sm)
As far as bonuses being offered unnecessarily on weekends, I think they like to be caught up as best they can on Mon morning, unlike a lot of services who get behind on the weekends. I don't think it really has anything to do wtih overstaffing. JMO. I thought there is extra pay for Sat or Sunday anyway, isn't there?
Must be management. They are NOT one of the
best companies, the absolute worst one I have ever had contact with and if you look through the archives there are many, many more who agree with me.
I am not management.
I am a very hard-working, high-producing MT who has as much to lose as the next MT. I, however, am choosing to keep an open mind and know that my work speaks for itself and decided that this new opportunity for me sounds like a good one. More work, job opportunities, and help in becoming an even better producer sounds good to me; guess not to every MT though.
I'm not Management... (sm)
What, you think I'm a *plant* because I'm seeing it half-full instead of half-empty? LOL If you'll go back and read a couple of my earlier posts regarding this whole thing, you'll notice that I worked for MQ (until they were bought out by furrinners) and I've been around for 16 years as an MT - IC, SE, employee -- but never as Management.
All I'm doing is repeating (again) what was explained to the DRC employees in the web conference and what has already been posted here to be read by anyone: If the client requires USA-based MTs, that's the DRC side. Yes, they'll charge more for the USA-based MTs (who will be paid more than the Indian MTs) and it would therefore be in Acusis' best interest to have as many USA-requiring clients as possible. Yes?
(Unless, of course, you're going along with the suspicion that the Indian MTs will be passed off as USA MTs and the clients won't know the difference.) (And man's first steps on the moon were filmed on a Hollywood sound stage made to look like green cheese...)
