Would love detailed feedback about MDI-Fl or

You might go to the website, because they used to have detailed info there.

In Ex-Text, can I get a detailed breakdown of my
I'm a newbie with Ex-Text and I might be overlooking something, but the Dictaphone I-Chart site is no help for getting the number of reports, and I can only seem to see the Ctrl-I stats for the current day.
search archives for more detailed info (sm)
I've had a great experience with WebMedX - lots of work, great pay, cool people, nothing to complain about at all.
Go to the bottom of this page and search the archives, hit Control-F for Find and type in WebMedX and you'll find a lot more information and opinions.
Eeegads! I don't mind more detailed but don't like cardiology! :( but thanks for the response
Need detailed info on DSG. It is stable work for a high producer? nm

Thanks! This helped me a lot....nm

Yep, me too. Nothing I did helped either. nm
Thanks! This helped a bunch. I know have my
questions answered.
thanks, you have helped me with my decision
I do too, and they helped me recently
when I had a low-virtual memory problem and I wasn't savvy enough to know what to do. Busy as they are, they didn't make me feel stupid for needing help with it.
Forum helped with my decision about OSI
OSI didn't tell me they outsource jobs to India in their job offer, and I refuse to work for a company that does this.
Thanks to this forum, I learned about this and chose to go with a company that does not outsource. I ignore some of the inane comments, but to do nothing but praise a company here is unrealistic. I read all the proof I needed to help me make a decision.
Why would it be so difficult to simply remove crazy things like, "Oh, you are nuts if you work for them," and leave comments such as, "I have had no work on this account for one week," and she soon learned on this forum that it was because the jobs were sent to India. I don't know why you believe it is necessary to remove the entire string.
Thank you.
Thanks for OTI input. Helped alot.
Appreciate it. Sounds good to me other than that program problem. They should use word 2000 and be done with it.
Thanks.. Helped a ton. I have already been through that. No work yet they are always hiring. That is
ridiculous..
They have not helped the economy of the masses
in India who need help. They have helped to deepen the rift between the classes, - the rich get rich, etc. The poor in India cannot even consider moving to get work now because the cost of housing in cities has escalated since we have created jobs for those who really did not need jobs. And those who need health care are really suffering and why? Because the trained doctors and nurses are the ones who have become the transcriptionists, since the transcriptionists make more than a doctor does in India. Check your facts on India. This one-sided trade agreement with India is not helping anyone but the big companies in America who can get work done cheaply. The companies HAVE increased their rates for the hospitals, have decreased our salaries by this farce they call voice recognition and reduced their costs even further by offshoring the work.
A call from the CEO? I do not even know his/her name, nor the names of any of the corporate officers. That is how much they care about me. Yeah, I got a mouse pad, a 1x12 inch glue down calendar, and a pen. I got more than that from the Golden Arches when they gave me a chicken sandwich when they opened up a new line 2 months ago. At least everyone in my family got a free sandwich.
People Who Don't Want to be Educated Can't Be Helped
The reasons for the outrage have been numerous and posted below. I am not going to qualify my answers to anyone who is too blind to see.
If you don't like this thread, then skip it. Easy enough.
Ask for names of churches that do this. One helped me which I did not attend.
After div, major surgery and getting screwed by MQ, I was facing a disconnect. Begged them. Certain churches do not turn to govt for help, help each other (Mormons for one). I called churches, one after the other. When I got back on my feet, I paid it back as a donation.
Anyone have any recent experience with SoftScript? Wonder if the changes have really helped. nm

Unions haven't helped much in years
Sadly, they've become more of a corporation themselves. You pay dues and if a conpany wants to bail or relocate or outsource, they still can and do.
Thanks Wendy! You've helped alot! (nm)

Opinions?
Can I have a little feedback? I have recently tested with most nationals and have been offered jobs. Who has the best insurance? Who cares most about us with 10 years plus experience in acute care? Who cares about quality? I have been offered jobs with every national for which I have tested? Who really is honest about their insurance, and values MTs who have been in this field for a long time? I am not going to believe they are going to put us old MTs out to pasture, my goodness, we are the ones who caused this business to boom. Please provide all opinions, I just want an honest company, paying benefits, computer provided, that cares about quality and experience. Thanks.
Opinions on TRS?
Anybody with positive or negative experiences? Thanks
DEP opinions?
Switching soon, have heard horror stories. User friendly? More productive? Any info appreciated.
MDI-MD, ANY OPINIONS OUT THERE?
Let me know your thoughts!

TTS opinions
 Anyone work for TTS doing Escription? My clinic is laying off our entire transcription department due to EMR and TTS is taking over the account. I've been hired by them but wanted to get some feedback on their pay scale. Thanks!
Well, here's my opinions, lol!
Worked for Spheris and MQ. Both were good. I made more money with MQ but things were easier and more in my control with Spheris.
I liked Spheris' incentive program better and I could control which account I logged into. With MQ, I had to take which ever account reports were in my queue.
Haven't worked the other 2 companies, though.
Thanks for the opinions!
Appreciate your time to answer. Dont' know though about the platform, etc. I just bought a new computer last year and don't want any problems with programs being loaded on it, if there are a lot of tech probs. I also don't have any experience with WP5.1. My one account is mainly ESL, but at least the sound is pretty good, even though I can't always figure out what they're saying :) and I know how your line count can plummet when you have to keep listening again adn again! Thanks again for taking the time to answer!!
Opinions please
I would like to know the best software and what companies use them. The only one I have experience with is Dictaphone Ex-Text but I am not happy with my company. Thank you in advance for your opinion.
Opinions please
Leaving OSI?
Need opinions
If you were making $700 (before taxes) every 2 weeks and had been on an account for 4 months, would you be happy with this or would you be applying at Walmart? Seriously, what would you do or what is your honest opinion?
Opinions
If you have never worked for this company and are just bashing it to give YOUR company a better shot then thats what I call invalid. How many of these negative posters have ever worked for KS for real? Im sure not everyone has a positive experience with any company but so far I think KS has had more positive than negative.
opinions, please?
What companies that you have worked for have the most user-friendly platforms? In considering a switch, the platform seems to be most important to me but have only worked for one company for 12 years, so have nothing to compare. If not the company, what platform would everyone recommend? Thank you for any replies.
Opinions on new job
Doesn't sound good for starters. I've found that this is a good indicator of things to come if ya stay. I agree with the first reply...time to move on.
IC pay - need opinions
I was just offered a job transcribing psych work IC at 0.06/line. Would this be good bad, reasonable, unreasonable. Same doctor/doctors every day. Opinions needed
would like opinions
I've had offers from Transcend, Spheris, DGS, and Presynct (previously known as CMT Corp). If anyone out there is willing to give me some info regarding these companies, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
Need opinions
I have been offered a salaried position as a quailty assurance analyst. They are offering me 39K to start. Dilemma, I have been with a company for about 5 years, make around 32K but not sure about jumping ship in this uncertain world of transcription. That being said, would you jump from one to the other, more money, but uncertainty, or try to work both at the same time until sure? I am a little apprehensive having been one place for so long and Im not a job hopper. Opinions please.
Nothing very new about DTS. Opinions, please?

Any opinions on
Opti-Scribe out of State College, PA?
Opinions ??
Are the H&Ps and consults that are done for hospitals very different from the H&Ps and consults done by large specialized medical practices (such as large cardiology, ortho, GI groups etc.)? I wanted to do hospital H&Ps, consults, discharges for a company but was told by this company that I did not have the experience (acute care), even though I have had about 20 years doing the large specialty practices, large HMOs and a little hospital work. They said that the hospital reports would be too involved for me. I've seen hospital H&Ps, consults and discharges, and they don't look any more complex than what I had done in the past. Any opinions? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Opinions of MDI? sm
Scheduling? I know that they are Sun-Thurs or Tues-Sat, but are there specific shifts? How is their payscale? Do they pretty much leave you alone to work? Is the platform easy? How many accounts?
I have almost 10 years experience working at MQ and I'm looking for a change. I have an interview with MDI next week, but I have a few other offers out there as well (Landmark being one, but I'm unsure of that one due to the payscale).
Opinions
Everyone's mileage may vary. Why would some of you not believe that some MTs cannot make a full-time living with Landmark? This probably depends on just how much work each MT needs to earn for their own particular circumstance to survive, and this would be dependent on location, cost of living, and particular expenses. The same people who express some concerns about Landmark have also agreed that the company has positive attributes (nice people to work with, honest line counts, pay on time, decent system, no garbage about schedules). The truth is still the truth. This company has had issues with losing multiple accounts, then shuffling the MTs and QA staff, which created situations where there was just not enough work to go around. The company has also gone for long spells (not just a day or two) where the work has been so low that the MTs could not possibly make a usual pay check. It's well known that most MTs that work for Landmark work for other companies, but that's not unusual for a lot of MTs with other companies. Many MTs work for multiple companies to make sure that they have enough work to make a living.
The issue here is why question people's valid concerns about a company, but not the people who only are cheerleaders? Why not question why some people keep popping in to rah rah this company every chance they get?
I want to thank everyone for your opinions!!!
I have made my decision though and will be going with Transcend and my gut tells me I definitely made the right choice!!! I hope I can be with them for a long time, as I hate changing jobs, LOL!!!!
P.S. - Opinions welcome
I'm thinking of looking at going back to on site work. I am tired of these companies who hide behind the virtual office. Since there is no face-to-face with coworkers and supervisors, they send carefully worded e-mails and put out carefully worded announcements and we cannot really get a feel for what is going on. The guessing game has gotten old. There are other jobs we are well qualified for at our local hospitals, like Unit Clerk (pay is really good in my area), lab and pathology, other medical records jobs. Very good benefits at local hospitals, too, because of the need to be competitive for hiring nurses. At least working on site you have a supervisor you can see in person. Of course, I realize some of us have kids and it is difficult to work on site. I used to work middle shift at the hospital while my husband worked days. It was less than ideal, but it worked and the paychecks could be counted on!
All opinions are welcome here. SM
Some have positive views of a company or situation, others have negative ones. All are welcome. Debate the topics, issues. Stop with the personal attacks. Do not stalk other posters' posts. Do not stoop to name-calling. Report inappropriate posts - don't join in the inappropriate behavior.

TSSC. Opinions, please? nm
OPINIONS WANTED PLEASE - sm
To all rad MTs...what is the best company to work for doing radiology? I'm looking for a home where I can just do straight radiology typing - NO VR. I know, it may be coming, but I hope to evade it as long as possible. I'm tired of all the lies these companies tell you when trying to get you to work for them. I'm tired of running out of work, babysitting the PC waiting for work. I'm tired of horribly outdated programs that won't let me use my expander. Are there ANY companies out there that have what I'm looking for? Please tell me there's hope somewhere....TIA
