People can ask any questions

In Reply to: such a silly comparison. - cle
they want here as far as I know. Point being, it appears that someone wants to classify MTs that wish to post their comments or questions here as crazy because they won't go to their supervisor or manager. You know that comment didn't come from an MT. Just goes to show you what kind of management we're dealing with these days-- very condescending, very inadequate, and very judgemental. Who would want to go to someone like that with any question?

People are scared to ask questions
Why can't people just ask questions here without being scolded for things that have absolutely nothing to do with what they asked? If you don't know anything about the insurance, just don't say anything. How does it help anybody to hear about your own prejudices? Probably a lot more MTs would join in a discussion if they didn't get pecked to death. If you don't have anything positive to say to them, just don't say ANYTHING!
Some people have a really long list of questions
It takes maybe 5 minutes to type a list of questions. It might take an hour to answer them all. We may not have time for all that. Sometimes I have taken the time to answer a couple of questions, then the OP comes back demanding that I answer the rest or didn't answer thoroughly enough. As someone said on another thread about people wanting advice on how to get into the business, our time is money, wanna pay a consultation fee? Just keep in mind we can't always volunteer to help everyone, and we may not have the answer to all the questions anyhow. I've noticed the threads with one simple question get the most answers - because its quick to answer one question vs 20.
but it is a free country. People ask questions all the time that
are best answered by a representative of the company in question.
Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but
to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
Questions for you.
What benefits might not be the same?
Also, as we're paid for what we type, I'm not sure what you mean by "I put all I had into it and didn't get much in return."
I guess I'm confused as to what the company isn't doing in terms of what you are owed in returns Not trying to pick a fight, just wondering what I'm missing myself. I work, I get a paycheck. I have benefit opportunities that others do, at least as far as I know. Medical, dental, etc.
Can you help by clarifying this, please? It might help the rest of us to understand.
A few more questions
What about the rental fee for part timers. Do you pay that forever or until equipment is paid off? Can you use your own equipment? Thanks.
Questions
I went to Wegmans, but the only copy of RBJ they had was for 7/27. I am wondering how all of this is going to affect my job??? Are there specific changes pending that threaten the existance of this company? This may sound bad, but there are slimy people all over the place, but as long as my job is secure, I am not going to quit my job because of her lack of ethics. They seem to be a pretty good fit for me and I have never had a problem getting paid, which I have with a few other MTSOs in the area. They are pretty consistent with the work and have good dictators and a great platform. I wish someone would post the actual article, as I can't seem to get to it no matter what I do.
Questions
Hi,
Thanks for replying. I was just wondering if you were happy working for DTS and if they were a good company to work for. I was wondering about how well they pay and also if they offer benefits..
I am only testing with them right now but hope to get into a job with them soon.
If you would like to email me, you can at chantel7@msn.com.
Thanks,
RT
A few more questions
What do you do about insurance, vacation and holidays, also when there is no work available or when your acount runs low?
Thanks for all the info?
Questions about DRC.
How is their pay? What is considered full time? How does the 401K work? Is there any employer match? Is the health and dental insurance good, and is it affordable?
Not so sure I want to go the route of employee again, considering it. Just trying to weigh if I did whether it would be better to go with a hospital or with DRC or something similar.
Would like a few questions
If you work for so many of these nationals and leave, do they have it out for you? I have sent out a lot of resumes and got no replies. Not resumes to the people I have worked for, either. Is it a bad time to be finding a job? Has the job market vanished to India?
I have some questions about them also.

More questions....
If you are saying that 1000 words x .11 (cents per line) equals 110 -- are you assuming that one line equals 10 words?
How are you equating words with cents per line?
questions
Does anyone know anything about JLG transcription?????
questions
Could you email me please? gin3tac@yahoo.com
Just a few questions
Do you have to work weekends/holidays? Do you stay on the same account or switched around? Platform? FTP or C-phone?
Thank you for any answers.
More questions...
Would 50 cents per link be considered good pay?
Also, wouldn't it make a difference to be paid 9 cents per gross line versus 65 characters for radiology?
JLG questions please...
I've done a search and the reviews seem to be mixed, anywhere from the worst to the best...but I would just like to get some very current info as am thinking about applying with them? I understand there are several platforms. I've never worked on Vianata sp? Is it MT-friendly and can you check your counts and are they accurate? How is the sound quality? I had seen a comment on pay being sometimes late, no direct deposit yet? I also saw comments on rude QA, staff, management. How is it now for you guys? Thanks!! Any help greatly appreciated....
Few questions
Can you tell me more, please?
What is their starting rate?
Flexible schedule?
Weekends?
Do you type in word?
TIA!
They ask those questions
because you have to do updates at minimum weekly where you have to open, run, and save files on their platform.
D&L questions - please SM.
Just a few questions about the company. Do they offer part time? Is the work typically consistent (amount and when received - time of day/schedule)? Does the work end up being more 1st, 2nd or 3rd shift? Thanks!
To MDI-MD-ers questions
Audio through internet or C-phone? If C-phone, how is sound quality? Lots of ESLs on account? Do you work on mainly one account or required to work on several? Thanks for your input. Looking for ''home'' with enough work on one account or possibly two, good sound quality, decent pay and appreciation for quality work. Tired of many accounts, too many ESLs and suboptimal sound quality.
Few questions........... sm
Is it because you are constantly being switched between those multiple accounts? Is this something fairly new? If so, possibly ask your service manager why the constant switching and request to be kept on the same account. Increased lines is increased money for them, also. Good luck!
2 more questions -
I forgot to ask if they have internet or second phone line work, and do they have a line requirement. Thanks a lot.
e-MTS questions
Any pros or cons? Do they have plenty of work? Are accounts laden with ESLs? Do they transfer voice and text via internet or required to use C-phone? Pay scale range? QA staff friendly and helpful? Do they offer part-time as well as full-time? Thank you for the information.
Thank you - a few more questions sm
Are these reports? I am typing letters and I am SO tired of looking up addresses!! What platform and how many lines per day is required? Thank you for taking time to respond to my post.
MDI questions
I'm interested in going the IC route after being a full-time employee. I'm thinking of applying for a job with MDI and have the following questions:
1. I've never worked as an IC, so I was wondering how you go about estimating and paying your quarterly taxes. Also, can you clarify the process of how they pay half of your social security tax?
2. I understand they use the Bayscribe platform. Can you use your own word Expander program loaded on your computer or do you have to use the Bayscribe one within the platform.
3. Does the company give you access to report samples from your account to help with difficult dictators?
Thanks so much for any info you can share with me!
RE and More questions
I understand about the whole flexibility thing. My current company allows me to work whenever. What I'm wondering is do they offer flexiblity as in you can work a few hours in the morning and a few at night? Also, do they allow you to work within a window of time or do you have to say I'll be on the clock from 4:45 to 6:30 or something similar? I know a few companies I've interviewed with said that you have to work your hours between 6a and 4p but that you could work them anytime in those hours. I'm just wondering all this because I have a toddler and he's very busy and his naps are inconsistent. I get up early in the morning and work but sometimes don't get to sit back down to work until around 7:00 at night when he goes to bed.
Also, how many hours on a holiday are required? How many hours on the weekend? How does their weekend rotation work? Do you have to work one weekend day every week? or what? Also, the site, when I went to test, said they are only hiring full time. Is that true? If so, because I'm looking for PT, should I even test? 
Please help me find some answers! Thanks ladies!
Two OSI questions
What are the OSi pay dates? Also, does anyone know the cost of medical insurance at OSI for one person?
Thanks.
asking questions
sometimes even asking questions and researching here does not help. You have to trust your instinct, give it a shot and don't leave your present company until you are 100% sure. it can be frustrating.
OSi questions
I worked for OSi in the QA department for over a year. Like another poster, I found them to be totally supportive, friendly, and helpful. I'm not sure why I have seen comments saying that the QA department sucks. I thought it was an excellent QA department that works very well together. Each QA person I knew was more than willing to help both new and seasoned MTs with their questions at any time of the day, even if they were not on duty at that particular moment. MTs are not normally switched off of accounts unless the MT specifically requests it, or, if after repeated feedback and assistance the MT still appears to be struggling with a particular account. If you aren't happy with the account you are transcribing on, talk to the account coordinator and she will help to find a better match for you. It was my experience that OSi would much rather have happy MTs transcribing on accounts they like than people who are unhappy and producing low quality reports. Before the question comes up, no, I do not work for them any longer, and the ONLY reason is that their insurance plan did not meet my needs at the time. Otherwise, I would be LOVE to be back working with them. I have yet to see that level of support, feedback, and teamwork at the company I am at now. I would say give OSi a shot - you won't be sorry.
Questions on this too.
Hey, guys. Are you over on WAHMs? I hang out there, and nobody posted an answer to this same question there. I'm interested. I think $50 is a little low for medical focus groups. But I'd be interested in working with him if I could find some good info.
Just out of curiosty, why not Ubiquis? I find I can get $80 audio hour with them. Not the most touchy feely guys in the world...
Certainly ask questions.
Yes. After sending in resume, but before testing, I ask if I can ask some questions so time won't be wasted grading test, if the company and I are not going to be a good fit. I have a few questions that I ask every company. Some have even thanked me for saving them time, if it becomes clear this is not the company for me. Companies dont want to waste their time any more than you want to waste yours.
a few questions
Are you able to use an Expander program with it? I have Instant Text. Is it similar to Word? Does it have autocorrect like word does? Thanks so much!
Questions
What is the pay rate for clinic and for acute care? How are the dictators? Do you have lots of ESL? How often do they pay?
questions
What are the pay dates, and what are the incentive line count requirements?
Thank you!
