I sent an email to the recruiter when I was unable to access the files and received one back from her this morning (Monday) informing me that apparently someone who was also testing had inadvertently deleted the files off the FTP site.

Testing with New England Medical Transcription
Has anyone else had problems getting test files from them with IE7 and Word 2003?

I see certain people on this board, who post under the same names and I can take a 1 hour break, a 2 hour break or a 3 hour break and they seem to be whining and complaining about life -- yet they can get new puppies, new kitties, new other animals but BOTTOM line -- oh gee no work guess what people -- I have to swtich back and forth between 2 accounts on my MAIN account and 2 accounts on my secondary -- I literally work till I dropand thank heavens, I am in a relationship where my significant other understands -- yes, we ALL have to deal with being on hold with India, but that is where you take a day, to pay the bills, vent with customer service reps, etc and move forward -- and like I told my other half -- bill dosent get paid its YOUR responsibility - a relationship, whether it be marriage or othewise takes 2 people.
And as I mentioned before, TAKE THE time to learn online resources as well -- for example, if you hear Kem-7 THINK Chemistry-7 -- learn punctuation, grammar and most of all spelling and --sorry been working from 7 am to 11 pm -- with VERY few breaks -- might help in the long run

I worked for a company where it was a combination of VR and straight typing -- I never knew what the next report was going to bring and at the same time, started working for a company that does straight transcription. I am not adverse to VR, if that is all that is done; however, these companies have started the thing of paying one rate for straight typing and another for VR -- that's where it is very frustrating as I am sure it is to many of you. I know the goals that I have to set for myself in order to keep a roof over my head, pay my utilities and keep food on the table and if it means putting 12-15 hours a day in, then I do it, knowing what my priorities are. For those of you that are fortunate enough to have a spouse who also brings in an income, that is all well and good, but many of us are single and have to do what we can to survive. My rent alone is close to $800 a month, then I have cable and electric on top of it to pay, and right now, I have very little food in the fridge but I am managing to get by.

The pay per line is not the greatest, but I find that I do better with them because I always have the same dictators (about six, shared with a couple of other transcriptionists) who are easy to understand, so I can do more lines in less time. Rarely bothered by anyone in the office. IC status only, I believe.
Anyone know anything about New England Medical Transcription? sm
They have an ad on MT Jobs. Mostly, is the pay on time, people decent to work with, etc.? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Considering employment with New England Medical Transcription and was just wondering if someone could give me information, pros and cons of this company, etc.
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if they pay weekly?
Also, could anyone please share any experience you may have with them? I'm interested in applying and would like some feedback. Do they use FTP? Is there a lot of search for demographic information or is that built in to their platform -- i.e. information is supplied by client? (Not sure how to word that question.)
Thanks so much!

I just tested for New England MT, and from what I've read on the board it seems like a wonderful place to work. Can anyone who has applied there before tell me how long it was before you heard back after taking your test. I took a couple of gets for GT work about three months ago and not one word back so I was curious to see if you heard back one way or the other in a reasonable amount of time.

Update on New England Medical Transcription
I heard from them today. I was offered the job and am in the process of sending back the contract. I'm excited to be starting something new, but nervous at the same time. I'll be starting a whole new speciality since they don't have any nephrology, which is what I do now.

Testing for New England company.
Has anyone done the testing for NE? I tried and found it very difficult to access and upload and download files. In fact my computer said that zip files were corrupted and I could not even get the files loaded. How do you go about uploading zip files? I was afraid to proceed as my computer was warning me of security risks to my computer. Anybody else having these problems?
Does anyone know anything about New England Medical Transcriptions and the ad they had
posted for pathology last week? Thanks.
New England Medical Transcripion...how are they?
Looking for any insight into this company related to workload, work flow consistency, management staff, sound quality....the usual. Appreciate your help.
New England Medical...my experience...
I have been an IC with them about 3 months. I agree with other comments that the management is a cut above all the other companies that I have been with, good communication, friendly and know their stuff. Once off QA they don't watch your every move, but they give good QA feedback. And I absolutely LOVE ChartNet, not sure how many of their accounts use it, though the one I am on does.
I'm part time with them and there is always more than enough work.
As far as I know they only hire IC...but you would be best off confirming that with the company, because I'm not positive.
The only downside is their pay is low -- but to be honest, they've got enough other positives going for them that I'm hoping to be with them a long time. Some things you just can't buy, if you know what I mean. 
Feel free to e-mail me if you would like more information. Good luck!

That is 14,000 lines a pay period -- and MOST, if not all services have some degree of ESL's. Not trying to sound snotty here, but if you are so concerned about ESLs, why are you in medical transcription in the first place?
My original post
I apologize for stirring up a hornet's nest however, I see soo many people complaining on here about the fact that they only want to work certain hours, they don't want to work weekends, and so on that it angers me. Yes, I work weekends, but that is because of the fact that my s/o works on the weekends, so generally I take a day off during the week, that way, I can run my errands. I am an employee for a company, however, I really don't have set hours, nor do I work a straight 8 hour day -- I generally work more, because like all of us, I have bills to pay as well and know approximately what I have to make to be able to have a roof over my head and food on the table. I am my sole support and live in an area with a relatively high cost of living as well. I was making great money up until a couple of years ago, but things happened and I have had to take a job at a lower rate of pay, but at least it is a job. The key here is being flexible in your hours. If there is no work available, then maybe there will be in a few hours and you have to explain to friends and family that this is how it works. Luckily for me, I found a great fit with a company, its only one account, one hospital and I have never run out of work.
I found this post very hard to follow.
Odd sentence configuration made it hard to understand, I thought, and not what I'd expect from an MT. Plus, it's not clear what post it went with.
In my original post about this, I wanted to say sm
edict rather than law, but figured I'd get jumped on using that word. One of the late-night talk-show hosts referred to it as a law when one of the guests was baiting him to say, Merry Christmas.
The point is, you knew exactly what I meant in the first place. Oh well. Glad I gave No Name a LOL! Laughing is healthy. 
Yes, the original post that started this all was by DK.

Maybe you should reread the original post. sm
OP thinks no response required when you apply for a job.
Re: The flame by my original post
Folks I'm sorry someone considers my post a flame. That was not my intention, but then again I have never been treated worse by an employer in my whole professional life. That's why I'm looking forward to working for a company without local roots and the small town, small-minded mindset it brings.
Go to your original post. Scroll down a bit and look
for the see related messages in blue. Click on that and you'll get past posts.
By the way, I nearly forgot this original post, as
I got so absorbed in reading the GREAT posts below. I am now so proud to say that I have just done what you suggested, and am now joyfully employed with one of the three companies you listed - go US MTs! I left the company-who-shall-not-be named due to these issues, and feel I have at least tried to do something. Its a good feeling, too, for a change.
The ORIGINAL post ONLY intent was
to help protect fellow MTs from working for this schister of a MTSO. THAT IS ALL.
No more information needed in so far as what steps we are taking to secure payment, except that we will prevail. I GUARANTEE YOU THAT.
think you need to read the original post again. NM
,
your original post about is it fair sm
to have these horrid dictators for the test. Back to the question......YES IT IS. That is probably a sample of what this company does. You took the test, you didn't like it because the dictation was bad, so move on! Yes this profession has come down to lines and cpl etc etc and its a darn shame. If you don't want the crap don't work for a company that has crap dictators. I don't know where you are going to find that though. All companies have accounts with bad dictators. you are bound to get some of them. Doing them all day long, no I wouldn't want to either. That is why they tested this way because that is probably the account. Believe it or not, there are folks who have an ability to decipher these dictators (I don't want it either). It has changed old MTs like me who have been in this business for 35 years.
Bad dictators have always been part of the profession, its a part of medicine! You don't have to do it, you tested, you didn't like it...GREAT move on
Um, I think you need to read the original post. sm
It really might be a good idea to read a post before ASSUMING that you know what it is about and spouting off at the mouth. I'm embarrassed for you.
