Even if VR quality does improve, if we refuse to edit overseas dictation, they will still... SM
have no choice but to keep the work here. Once again, we hold the key. Our destiny resides with us on this issue as well.
Why move all the work for Heartland overseas, are the MTs overseas that much better?
Why? Why do this. It is my understanding that in time that work will be coming right back. Are the overseas MT's in Banglador or wherever better. Don't the companies that offshore worry about the quality of the work, HIPPA issues, patient's confidentiality, etc. Why don't they care? Mark my words, those MT's are not better than us, they have US editors, etc to help them out. They cannot land a new account US-based and compete with any US mt's. What a sad day. I pray for all the Heartland MTs.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me. 
How much work is still going overseas. Anyone know.

overseas work
I agree - these companies and hospitals supporting to send work overseas make it sound so wonderful - cheaper rates and fast TAT. BUT have you ever read some of the work that domestic/US MTs and QAs have to repair? So the hospital gets a break on the costs from the MT Companies but who has to fix the mess? I frankly do not want my medical records going off to India to be incorrect when it comes back. I remember one in particular where the overseas MT put PORN instead of PRN. How would that patient like to see that in their record? I hope the new administration imposes fines to heavily that it will stop these companies from supporting overseas companies and give the work back to the US MTs - we need jobs here too and we should be taking care of us first ! Remember those cheap rates - you get what you pay for ! I remember getting a good salary and even Christmas bonuses 10 years ago but those days are LONG gone now.
Merry Christmas to all and let's hope the New Year brings much happiness with jobs and decent wages.
No work on Edit Script, no work on my primary
I bounce between several accounts and 2 platforms every day and have been for weeks. I only see my primary maybe one day a week. I was so excited to start with TT last fall after 11 long years with MQ and today I'm sending my resume out again. It's makin' me sad.
It depends who you work for - I get 8 cpl to edit VR. nm

I know, I know Medquist sends work overseas....but there is always work :)
xxxx
All I know is that they send work overseas. nm
x
MDI does NOT send work overseas.
x
even if they send work overseas...
Please help me find a company to work for that has WORK and pays on time. That is all I ask at this point.
I edit the work that comes back from India. (sm)
Not sure why they did not tell you the truth. That REALLY bothers me.
I edit Indian work and it's pretty bad
it is still cheaper for the company to pay me an american person.... to edit i suppose...but let me tell you, if i did not, they would not be able to print any of the stuff i edit
Business Acquisitions and Overseas Work
When you are trying to be one of the top 3 International MTSO's you buy every company that you can buy that makes sense financially after due diligence has taken place. Believe me - if a purchase is in the works, you won't hear any corporate announcement until the ink is dry on the paper (or the paper is torn up), which will be way after the word is leaked to the street. If SPI is trying to acquire other MTSO's to get into the ring with the big boys - so be it. There isn't anything any one of you can do about it except keep your head down and your line counts and quality up. Quit fretting that your work is going overseas. Transcription is going global. It's a fact, not a fear. A great MT is a great MT wherever his/her chair happens to be.
I really wonder how much cheaper it is to send work overseas. When you
think about it, IC here gets about 4 cpl for VR and about 8 or 9 for straight typing. Overseas they have to go through a middle man or whoever owns the services and you cant tell me they arent getting a decent cut of the cpl and paying 3 cpl or so to their people. Just my thoughts. I bet the cost is very close anymore to what we earn. I see Delta is bringing its reservation call service back here from India because of all the complaints from US customers. I would expect it is the benefits here for employees that causes a problem costwise for MTs.
Americans edit Indian work, never Indians
I was asked to sign something that said I would not tell that I edited Indian work. I would not sign that. Indians cannot edit Indian work.
duh
Americans have to do it.
I'd bet my boots it's work that is going overseas to India or Pakistan. nm
I have no respect for companies that send work overseas
Don't you think we have enough people right here in the US without jobs? Instead of paying a decent wage for an MT, companies get greedy and undercut our workforce of extremely talented and hard working MTs of which a large percentage are single moms.
I would agree. Another case for sending work overseas (sm)
Those MTs work their schedules. Ask any MTSO or management of a national transcription company, and you'll find out it's like pulling teeth to get MTs with good work ethic to actually work the hours they are contracted to work. This is another reason that overseas transcription is used.
You may not believe me, but this *is* a growing trend in the MT industry. MTs that are both skilled and have a good work ethic are a rare find. I don't understand why - perhaps it is so many new MTs expecting working at home to be a walk in the park. I've definitely seen a downward spiral in the past 10 years.
I know a company that takes work off edit and doesn't pass
p
Focus Infomatics uses Indians to edit Americans' work
They do make mistakes. But if you point it out to them, at least they are willing to learn, they don't get all huffy like Americans do, and the Americans should have better grammar, etc. in the first place!
OUTSOURCE OVERSEAS, OUT OF WORK ALL THE TIME - GOOD LUCK (nm)
xx
sad part is, those decent docs likely have no idea their work is being sent overseas. nm
x
Such a lame excuse too - I'm so sure the CLIENT ASKED to have their work outsourced overseas!
They do think we're idiots, don't they?
I used to work for Precyse and...
they are a good company. They weren't for me because I am used to working my own schedule. They require you to work specific hours (usually you can choose them) and I just couldn't do it with 2 small kids. (If something comes up you can e-mail them and make up the time later.)
They provide all equipment. Their QA staff is really great - positive and helpful. You will most of the time get your QA stuff back within a few hours - always within 24 hours. Their platform is easy to use. I worked on quite a few accounts while I was there and they were all pretty decent. One had some crummy ESLs as the majority, but I didn't work on it much so can't say if it would have gotten better with time and adjustment on my part. (I usually adjust just fine to ESLs - these were mumblers as well)
They do have good benefits and you can accumulate PTO, which you can use at any time you wish - all or part of it. So if you just need extra money one pay period, you can ask them to add it on. You can also check your balance of PTO at any time. Also, they have direct deposit and pay is always on-time - without exception. They also mail you your stub and it always came exactly on time. Also, the payroll person is very accessible for any questions, etc. She even sent an e-mail out to us once because the paystubs (direct deposit was already in the bank) were late and she wanted to apologize - she had used a different post office.
The other thing that was a drawback for me, but you may not mind, is they do send out a lot of e-mails with account updates, asking for help, etc. That's not so bad but it was 3-4 time daily thing and they started getting to me. However, they do also offer bonuses quite regularly and other incentives too. They do believe in motivation and recognition for those that go the extra mile.
Also, they do quarterly reviews and do value quality work.
They are a good company overall. I know you will see various opinions on this board about them, but the only 2 negatives for me were as above - the e-mails and the set hours. Honestly, though, if it weren't that I was so bogged down with my children's schedules, I would have stayed with them. If you can handle those things, then the positives outweigh the negatives.
I work for Precyse
I have worked for Edix and Medquist in the past and Precyse is definitely a cut above those 2. It is a smaller company, but they are very good to work for and ....get this....they actually value their MTs! They don't call you MTs or staff, but colleagues. Everyone is respected equally here. I have owned my own business and have worked for the other large nationals listed above, and feel that I have found my home. I think you will be very pleased with Precyse. Their platform is web based, called Correct Type (Precyse calls it PrecyseType, but it is the same web-based program we used at MQ). Very user friendly. Staff of Precyse is excellent. It is not an easy company to get a job with, so if you have been offered a position, go for it! I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Precyse - no work
Is this typical? I have only 2 accounts and never have enough work. I have asked twice for an extra account with no response back. Their TAT seems very quick so I'm wondering if they over-hire so they meet TAT and we sit here with nothing to do. Haven't been here even a month but certainly can't afford this.
I *do* work at Precyse and most of the work is going to India
Is there consistent work at MDI-Fl, Precyse, or
nm
Is there always lots of work at Precyse? Do they do
nm
Anybody work for Precyse Solutions?
Any feedback from their employees or ex-employees would be appreciated. Thanks.
If you work for Precyse now, try calling the help desk, if not sm...
If you're not with Precyse now, you work on one of their PCs with everything already loaded. My best guess would be to say "no, you can't use a laptop", but I never had to use one, so don't quote me on that.
Hope this helps some
Is it hard to get lines at Precyse? Does work run

How is the work flow at Precyse these days? Is it

Quit Precyse. Work for someone who does not offshore. nm
.
Precyse. Disorganized, low work, broken promises.
nm
Precyse rate was good but they were always running out of work.

What spell-checks work with Transhealth, Precyse and Medquist? nm

Precyse has had problems with lack of work, too. They offshore heavily.

To Edit
Well...then you have probably missed out on some of the best job opportunities with small MTSOs. I would beware of the large Nationals...they are the ones who offshore. I don't, won't, and only hire US MTs. I also pay my MTs much more than the average Nationals and we don't run out of work either!! Sorry you missed the opportunity of a lifetime not responding to ads posted with yahoo e-mails. Your loss.
I don't know about overseas, but I'd say if they
don't have a separate line for a business then it is probably a tiny company and I wouldn't feel comfortable working with them. I'd at least get some history from Joanna about how long the company has been around, where they are located, etc.
you must be from overseas.
They get what they pay for when they offshore. period.
Alex-Med, anybody edit for them? (sm)
 I was interested to know how they are to work for, pay on time, steady work flow, sound quality, that kind of thing. Any insight is appreciated.
Edit BP normal?
For your normals that have either an abbreviation or a long form use the following:
type bp, get BP
type bpp, get blood pressure
type wnl, get WNL
type wnll, get within normal limits
type copd, get COPD
type copdd, get chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
type cold, get COLD
type coldd, get chronic obstructive lung disease
Yes, sometimes the word cold will be used in a report, but it is so seldom unless you are doing pediatrics, that you will and should notice it. Hope this helps.
How can you edit after 2 years?
Unless you worked in an intensive MT situation I don't see how you can be an Editor after two years!! That pay is ridiculous, even beyond ridiculous.
If they are out of OR, then they offered 2-3 cpl to edit and I said NO...
It may not be them but it sure sounds like it.
I edit for them with no problems.
They leave me alone and they pay on time by my invoice hourly.
I'd rather edit Indians than VR because sm
I did that and made a lot more money on it than VR. They actually get all the words right except our slang.
Question for QAs who edit
I was offered a job to do QA for a company with a speech platform. This is not a speech editing but rather a true QA editing position. I would like to know from other QA's the pros and cons of doing QA on speech documents versus QA on typed documents. TIA.
I edit and make a lot more than
the $10.00 an hour this ad suggested. I do not see what it matters if independent or not, just a poor salary for either.
Thanks. Do you know if TT outsources overseas?
