In Reply to: Yes they do provide PCs - TransTech
What kind of word Expander do they use? Are they VR accounts or straight typing. How long is training for?
Wish me luck. I plan to take the test and then apply. I hope to join you all.

Trans Tech questions
I have a question about Trans Tech. Do they provide computers. If not does anyone know the requirements for your personal computer? People seem happy with this company. How is the pay? The accounts - are they good or primarily ESL? I am happy where I am but but as an IC I am simply running out of work on a constant basis and need something more stable. Thanks for any info.
Trans Tech questions...
Does anyone know what first shift means for Trans Tech?
What platform do they use or does it depend on the account?
Thanks so much in advance...
One more: Are they flexible when it comes to needing time off for an appointment?
Quick, the gene pool need a quick Clorox!

Could I please get a quick reply to quick hiring???....sm
I cannot find anything here or in archives about Integrity Transcription Service LLC; I was rapidly recruited and offered employment w/o testing, and wonder if there are any MTs here who work/have worked there? Could you please share here or at my e-mail? Soooo much appreciated, trying to weed things out! 
Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Svcs?
Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for? Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa? Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but
to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.
The MTs can't get out of there quick enough.
Keep looking!
Don't be too quick..
I know a lot of QA people that are not consistent including the ones that trained me. One person can say one thing in one month, and the same person will say something else the next month. It's not always the MT ya know
Very quick!
RUN - away - quick!
RUN AWAY
you are just too quick to....
point your finger, AND this is not gossip as I, along with others, went through the same thing. OP was just asking a simple question and your cocky answer was not called for. So I say it again, GROW UP!!
It's all about quick TAT sm
The TATs are tight so the accounts have to be staffed 24/7, and more people are working on the accounts keeping them caught up. The work is steady on my internet account, but it is always very current with very little backlog but the work is there. I've been at MDI for 4 years, cleared for all work types on my accounts, and have 5 accounts I can work on although only consistently work on 2. I have a friend who started recently. On her account, she was not cleared for all work types, and she does have trouble getting her lines. She doesn't want a backup account yet.
Quick, quick
I testing and applied with them and got a phone call from Bonnie Monaco within 2 hours of submitting everything.
Thanks both of you for your replies!
Thanks for your replies....
Thanks guys, I've always kept at it and then kept at it some more. I maintain my 98% to 100% accuracy, and I do increase my line count weekly, its only by a 100 to 200 lines a week tho and still not doing the line count they want. But, I'll keep at it some more and take your suggestions to heart. I do love being an MT, I don't care what anyone says. When you live in a small town and have to drive an hour to get decent pay, until you subtract gas, clothing and lunches, I'd much rather be here in my office, working at it on a day to day basis and not have to deal with office politics. I'll figure it out somehow.
Thanks for your replies. nm

Thanks for your replies -
I am leaning toward Webmedx. They offer fantastic benefits. It's true, the starting pay for ERs is not great, but with the incentive plan and evening/weekend differential - yeah, not bad. They offer a 12-hour window for getting work done (on some accounts).
Now, the question is, are the ESLs okay, bad, simply terrible, or just flat out unbelievable?!!!! 
Thanks for the replies! nm

Thank you for your replies.
I am going to have a phone interview later today with the recruiter, so I'll see what she has to say.
If I decide to go with Spheris, I am probably going to stay on at my current company at least for a little while to make sure Spheris is a good fit. At least that way, I'm not out of luck if it doesn't work out.
Thank you again. You have given me a lot to think about.
Thanks for the replies
I had already heard some good things but just wanted to check out some other sources as well. Thanks again!
Thank you for your replies everyone.
I'm trying not to beat myself up too much about the test/score. I guess what they meant by timed test is that you have 24 hours to reply to the email and/or take the test and send it back to the company. But even still, I took as much time as I needed and used all of my reference materials to make double sure my answers were right. There was only one question that I could not find an answer to and therefore I guessed at the answer but even still that shouldn't have given me the score of 88. But, needless to say, that is water under the bridge and I'm moving down the river to stop at the next sand bar.
As a matter of fact I have another email in my box from another company wanting to talk to me but need to do a little research on them first. Zylomed - any info?
I try not to rely solely on Radiology, however, it is my absolute favorite. I absolutely, postively cannot stand to do OP notes so I try to stay away from hospital accounts.
Again thank you all for your replies and support, it really helps when you are beating yourself up to have someone else to try to pat you on the back and give a boost of self esteem.
I'd look at it this way, if there are not a lot of replies
have changed their name, or no one really has anything bad to say. Why try to pick someone's brain who just posts a one-liner. Maybe the poster does not want to go into it on this board and write a book.
Thanks for all your replies.I appreciate it. (sm)
I'm not only new to TT, I'm new to working for a national. Don't know all the ins and outs of the system procedures, etc. I was an IC for longer than I care to comment on, and my eyes seem to give out (watering, itching, burning) after a certain amount of hours on the PC.
thanks for replies, but.....sm
I guess the key word here is training. They all want experienced eScription editors and I have never had the opportunity to learn it. Do you know if these companies specifically train on eScription? TIA
Thanks so much, everyone, for your replies ... n/m

Thanks for replies......
So stressed out over it. Hopefully it will pick up. I really wonder what's happening here.
Thanks Everyone for Your Replies
Thanks MslaMT and others who replied about the line count difference. I surely appreciate the feedback, and am glad to have this little eScription community on this board to have discussions with. Happy Holidays to all-!!
Thanks for your replies.
I had seen those in the archives. I decided to keep looking and not apply.
Thank you, everyone, for your replies.
Every time I get excited about maybe finding a good job, I come on here and see how terrible the company is. Thank goodness for this board to find those things out, but I'm really starting to get frustrated - are there no more good and honest places to work for any more?
Thanks for the replies (sm)
I do have insurance coverage now, but there are several issues at my employer and I am desperate to go somewhere else. My husband is currently laid off, so I cannot afford to pay COBRA for 3 months while I am waiting for benefits to kick in at another employer. My son has a chronic medical condition, so private insurance is not an option (automatically declined everywhere we've tried). I'm praying that an opportunity will open up that will allow me to switch employers and get good insurance coverage. I hate being trapped where I am because of the insurance issue.
Thanks so much for the replies! sm
To those of you kind enough to take time out to respond, I want to thank you for alleviating some of the anxiety I had. I've been in this field over 15 years, but change can be scary, even if it is for the better.
Thanks again. You all are awesome!
Thanks for the replies
I have heard this is not a great platform. I am used to working in ChartScript. I go in on a VPN and citrix to the hospital server. I type in my own word and cut and paste. Can you do that with Meditech? Thanks again for replying.
Thank you both for your replies! (nm)
Thanks for the replies
I too really like my Vista and I do hope they upgrade to Vista. I am just about to learn ExText so I don't know much about it. I have been working in ChartScript and love it. I am hoping this platform is as easy. I use my laptop to work when I am away from home and it is frustrating when these companies don't take the time to update platforms to Vista. You have to special order computers with XP on them now. Thanks again.
Thank you for the replies
I'm full time so I have enough hours to qualify and from all the documentation I have I thought I was right but HR still won't budge. Now I have to decide if it's worth jeopardizing my job to fight for this or just leave it be.
Wow. Thanks for the replies! (sm)
Actually, I hadn't even noticed there was a Medquist board until you told me, and after reading the replies here and at the MQ board, I have decided to stay away from MQ. Thanks to all who replied, and I do take anything said on the board with a grain of salt, but you only need so many grains to know it's just not worth the hassle. I already run out of work a lot where I am now, but at least I have complete flexibility, there's not much VR (yet), and the people are really nice. Thanks for the input!
Thanks for your quick response!

so dont be so quick to THINK you know
what happened. anyway, don't worry about what I will or will not do.
Thanks for the quick responses! s/m
I can't find anything else at all. Don't know if this would help me gain exp though for medical transcription.
Where is the work at home mom's board???
Thanks again :-)
Transcribe it Quick
I was wondering if anyone had heard back from Transcribe It Quick or has worked for them before. They posted on the job board on 05/09 for per diem transcriptionists. I received a phone call from a very nice woman who was the owner of the company. She told me she wanted to hire me, told me all the specifics, welcomed me to the company, etc. and she even had me register with the site and download their player. She was supposed to call me back that night, and I haven't heard word one back from her. It sounded like a great job opportunity with great pay. I called and left a message on her answering machine and I still haven't heard anything. I thought it was really strange, and I was wondering if anyone had received a phone call back from her and was offered a job.
Thanx for the quick reply!
TY
Do you want quick or accurate?
Why go to a board like this for a question to do with your company's benefits? Actually, you would probably get a pretty quick answer by e-mailing your HR rep, and it would have a much higher probability of being correct!
Quick Question - sm
Which forum on MTStars is the best one to visit if you're interested in learning about obtaining private accounts - tried-and-true methods, platforms to choose, etc.? TIA!
quick to defend too
vv
Please, quick info regarding....sm
 Medical Transcription Services in Wisconsin -- sent me a letter regarding a new radiology account coming on board, would really love to take it (love rad), but I cannot find much about them AT ALL. Thanks in advance!
Why are people so quick...
to think that lack of work is the sign that a company is *bad*. There is such a thing as TAT. Anyone in this field knows that at times it is feast or famine. I have no problem making my lines during the pay period, even when volume is low; it's called being flexible with my schedule. I do what I have to do, still have my days off and still make decent paychecks.
thanks, another quick question-
do they supply computer/equipment?
I got a quick response, but
they only had 3rd shift available. I took a few days and then responded saying that I would be able to work the shift, then the recruiter told me she would contact me to discuss the position. That was 2 weeks ago, and I still have not heard anything. I'm also very experienced, with 99.5% QA or better. Very weird . .
