Texas Transcend Accounts

We just got 2 non-Chartscript accounts at Transcend and I work on both of them. One has hardly any ESL so far and the jobs are nice and long. The other is smaller and has a couple of ESL but they're pretty easy to understand and there are a bunch of samples available. So far, everything they've said about the number of ESL has been right.

Transcend accounts
I can't believe how unprofessional these postings listing the names of the accounts, whoa!! You probably did not realize the competition out there for accounts. Let's keep our MT careers on a higher level and not give away too much info around the coffee break table. The world just isn't what it used to be. Sorry to get on my soap box but I know that I would probably do the same thing, forgetting about the real world of business. Anyone out there finally given up on remote transcription and had to return to the real world and all that goes with working outside the house? I will tomorrow with great regret but can't beat $14/hour - I have tried and tried with 3 different companies in 10 years and can't come up with that at least in 8 hours so just enjoy the day tomorrow you lucky people in your comfy clothes and no makeup, I will be cursing all the way to the place. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK. This just stinks. Thanks for the vent!
Transcend has some accounts. NM

Transcend is changing all accounts
your line count, so if you are hired on at 8 CPL, you will get 4 CPL. They also seem to overhire and run out of work. No shift differential or incentive pay, they were phased out. If you want to do VR, this is the place for you, but remember your pay is reduced by 50%. Also, lots of technical problems, their system seems to go down on an almost daily basis. If you have a technical problem, you have to email them and wait for up to 6 hours before you get a response. They take hours to get back to you and sometimes not until the next day for technical problems. Poor reception and lots of static on the lines also. Lots of ESL. They do supply the computer is one good thing.
Does Transcend hire PT? Do they have accounts

I edit for Transcend on accounts using eScription. sm
I really like it, make more money than transcribing, and am in and out of more reports. And it's a lot easier on my wrists. I've always found the people nice to work with, in spite of the horror stories being related about the hiring process.
I have no experience with any editing programs other than eScription being used at Transcend/MDI, but you could request assignment to accounts using eScription. One thing, since new accounts (ones often needing new employees) typically are transitioning to VR, you could start out heavy on transcription of reports as the computer learns to take over that job, with a few weeks of lots of corrections to eScripted reports, and then finally doing almost all editing on a trained account. I think it's going to be that way on any account new to VR with any company. Transcend did adjust the pay rate as the account I was working on progressed so I never lost money and eventually ended up making more. Good luck wherever you end up.
I work for Transcend, love them, but right now a few accounts are slow..so depending on which you
were hired for, do not get your expectations too high. The work can flucuate the key is flexibiltiy. If you have to have a set schedule, I would double check on the work flow for your shift on your account. I would hope that they could be honest, and if I know them, they will be.

TSI in Texas
I worked in a hospital where TSI picked up the overflow. I worked with them for a couple of years before quitting that job. I got hired on with them a year or two later. I turned my notice on day #90. Disorganized. Too much down time. Poor technical support. Marketing rep making promises MTs could not deliver on. Swapped around on accounts left and right, each time waiting up to 3 days for tech support to make the adjustments on their end. Poor sound quality. Difficult platform. And don't get me started on the attitude of the owner (long private story).
This used to be TSI out of Texas
Check the boards! I worked for this company and left because of management issues. If you have a problem they don't want to hear anything about it! Not sure if they changed platforms but the one I used was archaic and was paid by the word. You also had to have about 3 phone lines to hook into their system. Was a real pain!
TEXAS...nm
Plano, Texas
MTS of Texas
I don't see very much about MTs of Texas. If anyone out there is currently working for them or you are familiar with them, I would appreciate it if you share. Thanks in advance.
I think they are all in Texas. nm

Anyone from MTs of Texas?
I just accepted a position with MTs of Texas and am very excited. Anyone else from MTS of Texas? Looking to network with fellow colleagues. 
MTS of Texas
Would like to hear from present and past transcriptionists regarding this company. Good and bad, i.e., does getting paid by the minute earn you a good pay check, good accounts, platforms, etc. Thanks for your time.
Thanks. No, not in Texas. NM

Really?! I thought they were in Texas.
At least that was the impression I got from talking to the recruiter.

Does anyone type on Texas
Are there alot of ESLs on the Texas account?
To Texas Girl...
Actually, my BOB - 10+ accounts for which I have 3 primary accounts out of - has standardized client profiles, no need look at client profile for each account or try to remember different rules. All now have the same formatting rules and ADT info requirements and very few dictator-specific differences. I realize that not all service areas have done this yet and not all areas of MQ are managed the same and I probably would not be as happy if I were in one of those, but I stuck it out and they made the changes promised in my area and I am now so much more productive. The accounts are better than I had before MQ as far as number of ESL and other difficult dictators, the ASR reports on average are good and I can more than make up for the 30% cut in pay on them - only get on average 5 or 6 a day though.
I guess it depends on where you end up when hired at MQ how good or bad things are. I have moved around a lot over many years in this business and probably will stay here until retirement if I am able - depending on what happens with CBay and all. I have found the right fit for me with MQ with adequate pay, the schedule I want, plenty of work, reliable paycheck and PTO - a big plus after a stint being IC, and nobody hanging over my shoulder watching my every move. The only time I ever hear from anybody is in answer to a question I have asked and the daily TAT logs from my PS. That is the way I like it, leave me alone to do my thing. I have no reason to leave.
I am glad you found the right place for you, having only one account that is always busy is the best situation to be in. You are lucky because that is not so easy to find anymore. 
You definitely did NOT want the Texas account
Can you say ESL, I knew you could.
Tyler Texas
Was this acct in Tyler, Texas? Where my friend works they lost some of their work to Transcend and she lives in Texas.
Texas Hospitals
I am currently working for a Texas Hospital as well. They are not even open as they do not have power and are not sure WHEN they will be back. So my work has been NONE since about the same time frame.
Here is to hoping there are better times ahead for our Texas Hospitals and for all the Texas Hospital Transcriptionists.
Any info on MTs of Texas
 I am looking for Radiology information specifically, but any info would be fantastic!!
Thanks so much!
Not slow in Texas.
HI: My account is in Texas, but not the company. No we are not slow. Try applying with KS. I think they are hiring too. Have to warn you that it is a very hard account. Old veteran MT's are stressed out from working there. They demand that you are fast, very accurate, which you should be anyway and also willing to work at any time if they are overloaded with work. I kid you not. They will call you too on your days off to get more help. OH WELL. So if this sounds good to you, go for it.
I HOPE IT'S IN TEXAS!!! nm

Why in Texas specifically? I would think - SM
labor laws would pretty much encompass the entire US, e.g., minimum wage laws apply in all 50 states, laws regarding overtime pay, etc. The rampant abuse MTSOs have been allowed to get away with affects MTs EVERYWHERE, from sea to shining sea ... MTs in OK, NJ, FL, OR, NC, I could go on and on... all of them have bills to pay, children to feed, and these MTSOs in sheeps clothing likewise lurk in all corners of the country. 
SurgicalNotes out of Texas?
Just wondering if anyone has any information on them, works for them, knows someone that works for them, etc?
Just got a job offer from them but really don't want to walk into yet another company that isn't worth the headache. The $$$ is very tempting but want some facts first.
Thanks
Transcription Solutions, Texas

6000 lines for SE in Texas
my region requires 6000 lines for SE, which i think sucks. I was lied to months ago. they said that all offices were going to require 6000 lines for SE's across the board. I don't know what would make me think they were telling the truth!!
Anybody know anything about MedTrans Unlimited out of Texas?
What cpl rate do they offer? Any info greatly appreciated.
Would this be the Texas or the Arizona MedTrans? Thx. nm

TransTech is in Texas -yes they are flexible, as far as (sm)
choosing your hours, but they would like you to be on when you say you are going to be unless you notify them. I have not had any problems at all. I've had to leave several times and I just let them know. They have an ad on the job board with their email address. They need a lot of people.

Dictation Solutions in Texas? Anyone know? sm
I find a lot for Dictation Services but not for Dictation Solutions. It's in Spring, Texas, ad on MT JOBS. Says difficult dictation. Well, it says dictation voice files may be difficult to understand unless experienced - I'm wondering just HOW difficult. Is it ESL or poor audio, like rerecord or something? Also, what usual pay scale there might be, platform used if any, do they pay on time, direct deposit, etc. Anyone ever heard of them? Thanx!
Gant Transcription Texas
Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody had heard of Gant transcription service in Texas? Do they pay on time. I was hired by them, but I have a weird feeling and I don't want to waste my time if they are not up to par.
