I heard from Task about two weeks ago. I also received the information packet and I do believe she told me it was 7 cpl also. She seemed very interested and wanted to interview me. I had told her when I submitted my resume that I wanted to work approximately 20 hours a week and she seemed fine with it. When I spoke to her for all of 1 minute she decided that she needed more of a time commitment and since I already have two jobs I wasn't able to commit to more hours at this time. If you look back at the archives I think there are posts regarding non-payment

Any info out there on TASK out of California? Thanks!
TASK
It is transcription typing for attorneys and the pay was 7 cpl and not sure if it included spaces or not. I sent my resume and when they contacted me via phone they told me it was the 7 cpl rate.
TASK
Then the pay has gone down. I worked there about a year ago briefly, and the pay then was 8 cpl. But they are very disorganized, you're a month in the hole on your paycheck, if you get your paycheck, and they can't seem to pull their heads out of their butts. The work was fun. TAT was strict, but doable. They just couldn't seem to get it together. A friend of mine worked for them for almost two years and she recently quit because she got tired of the constant state of confusion. I would find another legal company or general transcription company to work for, if you don't want to do med.

Thanks for your feedback. amj
Medi-task
I was contacted today by this company, and in trying to determine how they reached me I searched the job listings and found nothing, any clue on who and how they are? I find it interesting that I have not posted my resume and they make contact.
They stated they got my resume off mtjobs, but again they do not even have a listing there, past or present that I see for me to review.
Any information would be helpful.
The Task Force

Medi-Task - NOT HOUSTON
 From time to time, I search these boards for any posts regarding my company, MediTask. Yeah, I know I'm late (really late) posting, but some time back someone had asked about my company, asking if it was the one in Houston, owned by Matt Read, or what. Nope - not me. Here's my story:
I own Medi-Task (Hill Country, TX). I started this business in Houston in 1989, and moved to the central Texas in 1995, selling that portion of my business to Matt Read. He didn't change the name (another whole story there) but just added -"Houston" to the end of it. I fielded calls and inquiries for a long time until they died out. I understand he sold that business several months ago. I've tried calling but they sometimes have a message giving a pager number (?). Ouch... I wish people weren't confusing the two companies! 
Being an MTSO, I did hear things through the grapevine to the tune of MTs not getting paid, or paid on time... I can't really comment on that because I had nothing to do with how Matt ran his business, and basically kept my nose to the grindstone where growing my business was concerned. So, you'll have to raise those questions with someone else who was really there.
MediTask (my company) has clients in 7 states, and MTs in as many. We're a smaller, close-knit group. My MTs have never gone without pay, and I believe in behaving honorably in those matters. My reputation is important to me, and I hope to never see any negative about myself or this company. But, people are funny - - some move from company to company peddling their wares (which are sometimes rusty), and then get bent way out of shape when their services are no longer needed. Some are just bent on getting out of shape. However, that said - I have MTs who have been with me a long, long time. In fact, the first MT I ever brought on board in 1989 is working with me today. Others have been on board since '92 and '94, 99, etc.
All the MTs here are subcontractors, so I don't offer the big perks that the nationals do. Sometimes I feel bad about that (and have lost great applicants who are looking for more), but also understand that there are pros and cons to both ways. There's not a corporate bone in my body, and I never really want all the headaches associated with handling a huge company. I like it smaller where we all know each other's names, and work close as a team. We actually get together whenever we can in Austin or Marble Falls - that's pretty cool.
No one asked me, but I thought I might clear the air on the "MediTask Houston or Austin or what?" posts, let ya'll (yep, I'm from Texas) know who I am, and what this company is about. I'm proud to be associated with the people who work with me, and so lucky to have such dedicated, helpful, spirited, intelligent colleagues such as them. I'm blessed.
Anyone who has curiosity beyond this, I'm happy to answer any questions I can.

Can you please provide some information on quality of the audio...quality of the speakers...and any other helpful information.
Additional info on Task
I have been pretty proficient in this type of transcription for about seven years and it sounds like it is what they mostly offer. What is the low pay scale they offer and what type of a payment delay is expected if I decide to take on this company. How long have you worked for them? Thanks for the info! amj

Has anyone worked for TASK Document Service in California? Need the good, bad and ugly! I might consider working for them soon, any info is appreciated? Thanks. amj

Does anybody work for them? TIA
A little info on Task Force Pro and America's Pride
I don't have any info on them from personal experience but did find this info on a search. I'm assuming I'm allowed to place these links.
VERY interesting article. Sounds America's Pride had a contract with Medquist who was accused of sending active and inactive veterans' info overseas to be transcribed. Don't know the outcome, but for your reading enjoyment:
