I saw a post in the archives signed by TransTech Medical Solutions about Heartland buying or selling a company. I just wondered if TransTech was connected to Heartland.

most over over 1-year-old posts.  Anything current?

A lot in the archives about Transend.

There are people who have had horrible experiences with AllType from bait and switch to dishonest and incompetent management.  A friend of mine once worked for them and says a hospital client recently found out they were offshoring their work after being told repeatedly by AT that was not the case.  They don't seem to be ethical at any level, client or employee.  Please be very careful.

I have never worked from home before, always in-house.

I have worked for Transcend for roughly 2 months. I have found everyone to be very professional and willing to help, understanding as well. Aside from only a couple e-mails not being replied to, all of my inquiries to managment, trainers, and technical support have been answered in a professional, prompt manner.

The new platform they are using does have a few bugs, but they are working on it and have made improvements even since I started on it a week ago. It is a little faster to get reports and is easy to navigate now that I've used it a week.

The pay has been right on time. The work is there on my account, however, most of it comes later in the evening. I do know e-mails often get sent out for help on other accounts.  My main account has VERY little ESL. There are many samples to go by as well and that helps greatly. There is quite a bit of formatting to learn with each separate account, but like with any new job, policies and procedures take a while to get locked into the brain.

My main problem is getting my line count up as my family is not cooperating with me!

It's just like working at McDonald's or Burger King. Either you like McD's fries or you don't. It's all in what you like and what you can accept, etc.

I had to laugh when I saw some positive posts this week or last, can't remember.  They sounded like they were written by the same person.

The CEO and his brother are in the business for the $$.  They have no clue about  the business.   The QA manager that was there when I was there was a joke, always sending out incorrect spellings on things.  Some of the accounts have the worst dictators I've ever seen and I do 85 to 90% ESLs.  The sound quality was terrible.   When I did QA the work I edited was horrible and they continued to make the same mistakes over and over, like typing same for postoperative diagnoses.  I was asked by someone if they offshored work and I said as bad as it was it is quite possible.  I keep hearing how they pay better than most but no one says how much.   It isn't enough whatever it is.  

There are much better companies out there.  Webmedx has 3 or 4 new accounts starting soon.   I haven't been there but about 3 weeks, but I am impressed with what I have seen and they pay well with the chance to early up to 2 cpl more with incentives. 

Benefits are very good, they have direct deposit and if it falls on a holiday you get paid early.  Six paid holidays, a week PTO that goes up based on years of employment.   I don't know insurance rates because I am not eligible yet, but they pay for things like life insurance, short and long-term disability, accidental death.  They offer paid training and you get 25% above our usual line rate for at least a week after that to compensate for having to learn a new account.

Their platform is Word-based and their Expander is Shorthand, though you may be able to use another, depending on if it will interface with their system.   It is a bit overwhelming at first, but by the third day of training I was pretty comfortable.   They also provide all equipment, though you do need high-speed internet - either DSL or cable, as it is a web-based system and you need to be on-line to work.
