They have not had ICs in 5 years but the decision was just recently made to have PT employees. sm
There are pretty strict guidelines they are adhering to with regard to part-timers. They must have a set schedule of 8 hours one weekend day or 8 hours both weekend days and 4 hours at least 3 evenings per week. The days have to be the same every week.
So if you are looking for say MWF 6-10p and all day Saturday, it would work well for you. If you are looking to work whenever you want, it would not.
Not if you search for comments. Also need your own StartStop pedal & the software, but some pedals

Maybe QA made the decision, not the company, and the company managers are not aware of it. sm
I started with a company that did the same thing. When I went to the manager outside of QA, she fixed it right away. Turns out that the QA manager had made a decision to do that and had not told anyone else.
It does make sense to do that though. Find out if it is a few days or longer and base your decision on that.
Can we ask which company or at least which state they're out of?
Unfortunately, I am going to be looking AGAIN due to offshore.
Sten-Tel - Any comments about this company?
How are they to work for? What software do they use? Any other info would be appreciated as well.
All Type is a good company. There are comments down
this page. Just scroll down. You can check out their website at http://www.alltype.net
I know we need MTs.
I haven't noticed any positive comments about any company
I did search the archives for OSi but didn't see anything recent.
Thomas Trans Any reviews/comments on this company?
Thanks in advance
can't anyone answer my question - what's with all the puffy "love the company" comments
I didn't ask if this is a good company to work for.
Need info on Paladin Retrieval transcription company. Anyone have comments. nm

Anyone hear of a company in New Hampshire called TTS. Not much recently in
the archives about them.
How about Boeing losing that big bid recently to a French Company?
That really burns me because the contract was for aircraft for the UNITED STATES!
A military contract going to a foreign based manufacturer?
Even worse than that, TO THE FRENCH who couldn't lift a finger for us in our time of need and conveniently forget any assistance we have ever given them?!
I have no connection to Boeing and don't even know anyone who works for them but this is a HUGE slap in the face to them and all of the rest of us United States citizens, certainly a slap in the face and a kick to the groin for all of our men and women serving in the military.
And, yes, I do have many friends and family who have served or are serving in our military, including myself and my children.
Ditto. I stopped even reading the company board recently
I could not even get through the conversations to the real information on companies. I come here to be informed and to be supportive, but it has gotten tiring going through the constant redundant arguing. I almost gave coming here but it is part of my day. I just come here less now.
I did a search on his company under many
different avenues, and nothing came up. Just one ad on Craigslist in Nashville. I can only assume that maybe that is where he is located. I wonder how busy he really is.
If you are interested in doing more of this type of work, maybe you can look into guru. But the competition is fierce on there, a lot of under bidding and a lot of offers with set pay rates in place.
Who else have you worked for? Have you tried Ubiqus? They're not the greatest, but they do keep people busy.

 Anyone know of any MT company who does not send work to India?
I worked for a company that sent us something made
in China with their logo on it every year, most of which I've Freecycled or tossed. I'd rather not get something at all than get something like that.
KS pays me very well and while they aren't perfect, they are a very good company and have lots and lots and lots of work. That is worth a lot more than a $25 GC at Christmas. I wouldn't send it back if I were to get one, but a decent pay for the other 11 months is a much better gift.
How does a company know if you are using a template you made yourself?
I don't think they can, can they? If the doc dictates an appendectomy and I have the procedure in my Expander and pop it in, how does the company know that?

Go to company board, search ...
webmedx, there are quite a few recent remarks.
Run a search on the company board...
lots of recent info on Webmedx and MD-IT. Not sure about Hoffman. I've heard a lot of great feedback on Webmedx on this board. Good luck!
Why so very few comments regarding Diskriter? Are comments by employees not permitted SM
on public forums. I have always been interested to see comments on this company, as they are constantly advertising and seem to have an attractive employee package. Unfortunately, never seeing comments on MT boards makes me extremely uneasy. I'm sure they could have stipulations in their contracts that prevent them from commenting, but even so I would expect to see good or bad comments even from ex-employees. Hmmm? Plus, if the anonymity is supposed to be in place on these boards, how can it hurt for employees to make a general comment, good or bad?
FOLLOW-UP - Made a decision about best company
Thanks for everyone's answers. I have chosen Company 4 in the QA or Editing area, as the problem nitpickers are being weeded out. I don't want a lot of baggage or to work with a company that frequently runs out of work. Here's my original post, and I hope it is helpful to others. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
I have 15 years inhouse, but we are being outsourced. Several coworkers have gone to work for different nationals, and I am weighing working as an MT vs. QA or editor. I would like advice on what would be best to do or to expect. I have learned the following about several companies, none of which is consistent:
Company 1: QA manager has a BA in Political Science. She runs the department as a manager only. The QA people who are chosen have at least 10 years of experience and appear to be very knowledgeable. Most of them are very helpful and are available around the clock. Most accounts have plenty of work, but a lot of ESL.
Company 2: QA manager has many years in the field and supervises QA people with also many years of experience. They have a separate Document Completion department that does nothing but fill in blanks, but it is managed by a nurse with a Bachelor's degree. They have virtual round-the-clock coverage, and you can call them for an answer or to listen to the job you are working on. They are very helpful and friendly. I hear that MTs frequently run out of work.
Company 3: Not impressed because of favoritism here. A highly qualified QA manager with years of experience, including teaching, was moved to a lateral position after a few days by a power seeker with only 2 years' experience as an MT. After that, most of the QA department either quit or was fired. The new QA director does actual QA herself but does not get along well with everyone. Some of the QA department is helpful and some are not. They also promote some after only a few months with the company regardless of experience, which creates hard feelings among those with more longevity and experience. Very poor coverage at night and on the weekend. Plenty of work on most accounts.
Company 4: Editing and QA is separate. They require 10 years' experience as an Editor and 15 years' experience in QA. The QA and editing managers distribute the work and work as managers only but they are very approachable. The QA people are knowledgeable but most of them feel superior to the MTs. Most of the editors are fine but get frustrated if easy blanks are left and also seem to be too glad to report it, almost like tattling beyond necessity. Plenty of work.
As you can see, these are all very different, and I wonder if I would be better off to just remain an MT. However, I don't want my work screened by someone who is "just starting out" as an MT. I cannot figure out why the standards are so different. If you work for these companies, you know who they are. I just don't know where to turn. Help!

p.r.n. (and search won't allow periods in order get the right company)
Is the other company in Ohio as well?
I left them to go with another company using the same platform and I made tons more..
It has to be in their line counting and they must not pay for spaces, headers, or footers even though they claim to. I did not know the difference until I switched company. I was shocked that I made in 2-3 hours what I struggled to make in 8-10 at Focus.. As far as I am concerned, they are a huge rip-off and on top of that, they have their Indian QA people checking your work, and if it does not meet their standards, you pay is docked. It was quite disturbing to say the least.
Search on the company board. Lots of posts.

At the top of the company board page, do a google search for MTStars.
Start reading. This is an Indian based company. There were recent posts over the past few days about this company.
STAY AWAY from this company! Do a search here. Lots of information, none of it good.
