Sorry - I didn't explain that very well (sm)
Thank you, but I was talking about the report of each job#, mr#, minutes for the day that is manually typed. How do you send in that?
Thanks - Sorry for the confusion!
When nm guessed correctly, the moderator pulled that post too.
She guessed with a line from Romeo and Juliet without giving a name and that post was pulled too.
Last word here - People here need to read a post correctly
I never told HER to suck it up. Why don’t you read postings correctly. Can you not make a distinction between me saying I JUST SUCKED IT UP as telling about my vacation and you saying something entirely different? What is the matter with the posters here? I am outta here for the afternoon. Everyone have a good time.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm

Re: The post asking if MTStars mods are MTSOs, Goldbird answered correctly.
I own the MTStars website and I have a team of 7 moderators and none of them are owners of transcription services, nor are they management of any transcription service. We have never had moderators in any transription ownership or management position since we went live many years ago. If anyone has any questions about this, you can email me directly at admin@mtstars.com. I have removed any posts other than the post Goldbird made responding to the original poster below so everyone is clear. Thank you.
This is a useless post. Explain or dont bother

Read the Sticky post at at the top of the Main board that I posted and that will explain it.

It didn't take me 2 hours.
However, they may have different tests depending upon which account you may be applying for. No cons with the exception of not making enough money, but that's the way it goes all across the board it seems!
You didn't mention how many hours a week
you are working. ??
You didn't mention how many hours a week
Five days a week; 10-12 hour days.
See post re: hours at the bottom of this thread.
If it were, I woulnd't be complainin.
The post didn't come from CW or me
She hasn't come here since she started working on her own blogging site.
No, I didn't get that out of the post.
You better watch rolling those eyes or they're liable to pop outta your head and roll across the floor.
Hey, I didn't post this!
I think I've just been a victim of identify theft! 
I sure didn't post this either
xx
I really didn't post this either
x
Didn't the post say I need more than 1,200 a day!!??
It does not say that is all I could type in a day, now does it? It says that is the minimum required by companies. However, on so many days you have to fight to get that much, and it may take you 10 or more hours to do it. No, not because I type that slow but because the work is not there!! Geeze.
Didn't post here...
the message was moved here. Sorry if that offended you. Not my action.
Sorry, didn't mean to place my post here.

Sorry, C-smg, I didn't see your post. GMTA. nm
:+
I see that my post was removed - i didn't say anything bad
but it was removed. Glad I got the chance to vent and that 11 people got to read it.
Didn't they post the same job four times
I would think that only one recruiter/owner would need to post for a transcriptionist, not four. The one was titled Police Reports, but then on the inside it was medical transcription clinic work. I'm not so sure about that one. 
I didn't say that post was slanderous
Read it again, and no....I don't watch garbage TV, I guess that's why I'm so naive.
Didn't you ever think recruiters post these..
nm
I see you didn't listen to my last post sm
TT MANAGEMENT DOES NOT GET PAID HOLIDAYS. They are SALARIED. That means NO EXTRA for overtime, NO COMP DAYS either. They work when they are told. I can't be told to work on my days off, but management CAN and they frequently DO work on their so-called time off. Given that I make more than many people in management at TT, I will not begrudge them taking off Christmas or New Year's or whatever pittance they get in the way of a holiday off. I know 3 people in management who worked yesterday, from home on their *paid holiday* so that those of us who were working had a go-to person. They have management around between 6 a.m. and midnight 7 days a week, 356-1/4 days a year, and tech support too. If this **** you off so much, GO FIND A JOB WITH A SALARY and get a grip! I have had a salaried job and guess what? Worked more hours in a year for less pay than I get on production. You just aren't bright enough to see the writing on the wall. How is it you MT when you can't read?
The rest of us get it! We know you didn't post the
nm
sorry LTMT I didn't see you post before sm
I put mine about the pay for straight versus VR. Makes no sense to me either.
Well, my entire post didn't take
Anyway, the entire report would be free of most formatting.
Sorry, that link didn't post right (sm)

I didn't mean for my post to come off as bashing
I hope you didn't take it that way. Just wanted to throw out a couple of suggestions if you still had the time to get back with the company and negotiate. Actually happy to hear someone has an MT job that they enjoy! :-)
I almost didn't read your post...
... because I thought you were someone asking what it's like to do radiology work at Transcend, and I don't.
But I'm glad I did click to read it, and I'm glad some more of the folks who are happy working at Transcend--and are still working the same accounts with virtually no changes (except good ones) YEARS after their own merger--are coming on board to tell their stories. My own merger (from TRS) was only 5 months ago, and just about all I hear is 'just wait, they'll give your good account to somebody else, they'll move you to something lousy with no work available, they'll make you do speech-wreck, whether you want to or not, and you'll soon be singing a different tune,' that sort of thing.
But beware... you say anything good about Transcend on this board, and you'll soon be labeled a 'suit.'
I am not a suit. I am a pajama. And hey... I could only WISH they'd pay me for all this free positive PR I'm doing..... :)
Yes, so that those who didn't see the post on the Company board may see it on the
Main board. What's wrong with that? Isn't that ok to do?
Older post says they didn't pay for spaces. nm

Sorry for the double post - I thought it didn't *take*
nm
Wow, I didn't know the owner would get on here under different names and post
I guess that explains it all. My experience wasn't the best and I know I'm not alone. No wander there are lots of positives, had no idea the owner did that.
Never mind- I'm blind, didn't see the post below.
.
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
I didn't see that in her post at all. In fact I wrote something similar...please sm
I believe what she meant was similar to what I wrote which was that I felt a majority of the nasty posts probably came from isolated people that take crap all day. These types normally get walked on because they aren't outspoken enough in real life to say what they feel. Then they anonymously come here (or other boards)to take out their pinned up frustrations. It's merely an opinion and you know what they say about those.:)
The reason I believe this to be true is because I've encountered way more nasty people on-line than in real life. If some of the posters said the same nasty remarks to a person's face that they do hiding behind a screen name, #1) They'd get fired. #2) They'd have NO friends.
#3) They'd lose a few teeth.
Think about it.
The clickable link in post below didn't work for me...
Trying to help. See link below:
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.

Am I seeing correctly, already doing VR and
they are cutting your pay from an already low to a lower rate??
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.
That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer to send theirs back.
Any companies that allow line count rather than hours or less than 20 hours per week? (sm)
Wouldn't mind having something extra especially with Christmas and general winter expenses coming up but working a FT job and really don't want to do another 20 hours on top of that.
Around $300-$350 for both of you, if I remember correctly -
I've only been there 1-1/2 months. You have to wait 3 months before you're eligible for insurance, but your PTO they say you can use anytime. I'm so surprised how fast it adds up. I already have about $200 PTO.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
If I remember correctly, the pay is about 3-5 cpl and
they use a system I was unfamiliar with. I declined their offer.
But hey, if it suits you, go for it.
Yes, you read it correctly - sm
The platform is fairly basic.
They have made some huge improvements in it since I started editing on it but there is still some room to improve.
As with any other program, you can expect a learning curve so it's really about finding a way to make it work for you.
I have been seeing some improvement in my production (baby steps) but it would be really nice if I was at least making what I was before with just transcribing. I'm not, in case that wasn't clear.
Not to put the entire blame on the platform, I need to readjust my thinking and approach to getting my work done. It's different.
I have been very happy with Transcend for a long time. They are listening, even if sometimes they don't appear to be. It just takes a little time for them to figure out what needs to be changed in order for us (MLSs) to get our jobs done faster and easier.
Like I said, I'm trying to be patient because the last platform switch (when we went to VoiceScribe) was kind of a mess for about a year before it was really working smoothly but it turned out pretty darn good too. I still have hope for editing on this BT platform.
Spell correctly.
Maybe their line rate was low because you couldn't type well. It is atrocious
or get paid correctly. nm

Not paid correctly
One of the companies I have worked for for almost a year has never paid me correctly. Sometimes, it is only by a few dollars, but others, it is quite a bit. I asked them about it a few months ago and was told something like all the work you do doesn't always get over to us. I didn't really understand this, but for some reason, just blew it off at the time. Well, my last check was a little over $100 short from what the system said it should have been. When I tried to confront them about it, they won't answer my emails or the person I need to talk to is always out of the office or not able to talk. This just really makes me mad and just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem.
Yes, CORRECTLY. Redundant.
