A friend told me when he went to RT school (a long time ago) he was taught by physicians. I heard nursing school used to be full of practical experience too.

Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
C.C. You are Awesome
C.C. Thanks for always watching out for us!

TransTech is a GREAT place to work!


and they are AWESOME

to work for and with.


AWESOME!

U go girl (or guy)! Keep us informed about your new job and congrats!


Then that is awesome!
Best of luck!
Awesome!
Been here 7 years, back before it was bought out. There is endless work and that's NO joke. Small management staff, pay on time. Only drawback for some is using the C-phone. No hassles, nobody looking over your shoulder. You just work and get paid.
TRS is awesome!
I have worked for TRS for just over 2 years and couldn't be happier. TRS truly cares about its employees and it shows. I can't imagine working anywhere else.
YOU ARE AWESOME
Very well stated! I am VERY interested in the 3000 lines/6-8 hours.  WOW!  Can you emaiil me and share you knowledge on how you acheived this goal.  Do you do this consistently, daily?  I think I am pretty up there usually coming in around 2000, but I am very interested in how skilled, quality MTs come in at 3000 a day consistently???  Please share you knowledge with me so I can try it.  Thank you for the great post!  I am so frustrated reading this line count stuff.   I love Transtech and my sense, as good as it can be in this remote working situation, is that they are honest people and wound not intentionally mesh with line counts. 
Awesome!

That is an awesome rate.  Usually it is 4 cpl.  What company is this with?


 


Awesome!

I ended up typing the report over again, but believe me - I will NEVER forget your instructions on accessing a lost report, and I will get some cardboard ASAP!!!  Thanks very much...


AWESOME
4-1/2 years and don't intend to leave. Great, great, great company.
Awesome!
I start tomorrow.  I'm glad to hear that our supervisor is good.
You are AWESOME
You get the picture! 
Awesome!
I worked for them for a couple of months.  The work was very easy, but the paychecks were a little slow! 
awesome post above. thank you for saying that!

I work for MDI-MD and I have had awesome help from QA.
Never anything negative, only helpful. 
They do and the lines are awesome
nm
Wow! Awesome hop! Congrats! nm

If they are supposedly AWESOME
why do they have so much turnover and why are there so many posters who worked there and left? Don't you have to wonder about a company that is so great but still has to advertise?
This is awesome and is what this board
should be about!! Thank you.
awesome company

AccuStat Carolinas is a great company.  Myself and many co-workers all keep in touch across the country as we all work for AccuStat and we all love them.  The people are great to work for, pay is on time and the work is plentiful. The managers really help and get you going so their support is the best I have found in this market really!


Thumbs up for this company for sure!


They are growing like MAD! This is an awesome
company. Definitely not overhiring. I have been here almost two months now and I have never been happier with my job. The accounts are good, the people are amazing, from management to tech support and even the general office staff. They treat me incredibly well and many, many others on here say the same.
Awesome! I got the job and start really soon.
My husband is happy, but cautious, after all that has gone on recently. But, I sure believe this is an answer to a prayer.....and an angel must be looking out over us here. Thanks again for the kind words. It is a good day today! :)
lee perfect is just awesome nm

Awesome company...
I've been with them since the end of March and they don't expect you to start out at 700 lines a day. I started at a very low number (don't remember off hand)and have increased it by 50 per week. I will be up to 700 lines per day by the end of the May. Platform is great and the team is of people are awesome to work for, too. I plan to go full-time just as soon as I quit my other very flex part-time company and the two places are like day and night! MDI appreciates their people! Do yourself a favor, if you are even remotely interested, check them out and talk to their recruiter.
Wow that sounds awesome! nm

AWESOME. Did you hear

that AHDI/MTIA is now wanting MTs and editors who are entering the workforce and those currently employed will need to approach professional credentials the same way all other allied health workers do – as a necessary investment to engage in professional practice in this industry.  Basically elevating the medical transcription certificate program to an associate degree by 2016? 


Awesome post to you!
Ditto all around.
Penny is awesome!
I know everyone has their own opinions and experiences with people, but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Penny Whalen. She is a great recruiter and a great person!!!
Awesome, prayers go with you
Wow that is so cool. My prayers will be going with you that the audience will have open hearts and ears to hear this dilemma and do something about it.. You are a credit to us all for standing up for our profession... Thanks for what you are doing..
awesome, are they flexible?
I have no problem sticking to my schedule, but since I won't have any vacation for awhile are they flexible? Say I want to take off a Wednesday, can I make it up on Friday or Saturday, or am I just out of luck?

My DH is off during the summer, so we try to take a weekday to go do something with the kids once in awhile and avoid the crowds!

Awesome post, and I do the same.

Also, as far as TAT, that's why they shouldn't rely on just one IC to pick-up all of the work.  If the MTSO wants to only use one or two people to do the work so that the TAT is met, then hire employees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Okay, I feel way better and am so glad someone else agrees regarding the IC positions. 


The MTSOs are free to abuse other MTs in this industry, but not me!!!!!!!! 


thats awesome to hear
I start on Monday - can't wait. I am so tired of not having any work. I have been sitting here all day with no work. I just checked and I have 10 reports, about 1 minute each in the system. I think I will let someone else get them. Not work the $10 or so!
ProType is AWESOME!!!!!NM

The work is BEAUTIFUL!!!! and pay is pretty darn good.


Awesome Idea!!!!!
I would love to have this info then I wouldn't t have to keep asking everyone
Transcend Is Awesome

Before working at Transcend I had never worked for a home based transcription company. I had always heard horror stories about being an independent contractor, no benefits, and fighting for work.  I had a friend tell me about this company that she had heard of called Transcend.  She said that you could become a full-time employee and get benefits at a cost that was actually very reasonable.  As a divorced mother, who had commuted 30-40 miles to work every day, I was intrigued and decided to check it out.  No, I am not an inexperienced newbie, I have been doing medical transcription since 1982.  I decided to take a chance with Transcend after working in multiple various hospitals and clinics.  It was the best decision I ever made.  I have been with the company for a little over two years now and have never been happier with a job. 



Yes, I have worked myself up to the role of Team Lead, a position that I love.  I am allowed to mentor while I work alongside the wonderful MLS on my team.  I consider all my coworkers my friends, which is an amazing statement to make about people I have never met face-to-face.  This includes everyone from MLS, to TLs, QA, to higher management.  Everyone has a close relationship and is only an IM, Email, or phone call away. 



Several of my accounts do utilize outsourcing, but we monitor everything they do.  If we don’t like their work or we get customer complaints, corrective action is taken immediately.  Several accounts have been removed from outsourcing not at the request of the customer but at our own discretion because we do care about quality and want to give only the best to our clients.  Outsourcing is not the great evil that everyone thinks that it is.  They too have talented people that are capable of great work, and they do help us provide 24/7 coverage on some of our busiest accounts. 


As far as flexibility, I would like to add at this time, that I am also a college student pursuing my four year degree.  Transcend is not a monster.  This company has allowed me to work from home where I am finally available to my family.  They have offered me the tools and the chance to succeed.  This company wants everyone to be successful and HAPPY at a job that we all love.  I think that many MDI employees are jumping the gun and making snap judgments about a company that they don’t really know anything about.  Give Transcend a chance…..look to the future with a positive attitude.  I believe that you will be very pleasantly surprised by what you find.


It's an awesome place to work...
I don't know about Transcend, but I know that MDI has the MT's best interests at heart.

Have you worked at both MDI and Transcend? My account at MDI has about 40% ESL, but once you get used to them, it's not bad
Awesome to work for. Pay is always on time,
steady work flow, direct deposit every 2 weeks. Very flexible. I would recommend them to anyone.

Pay - 10 to 11 cpl including spaces.
Oracle is awesome when they have work

I think they only take ICs.  If you are fortunate enough to be hired by them, you will NOT regret it - UNLESS you need a lot of work consistently.  They never bother you.  You can work or NOT.  FOR REAL.  They just don't bug.  They are starting to use a really great new platform.  Their old one is pretty antiquated and, frankly, downright time-consuming.  Their new platform is definitely PROGRESS.  They are great for the MT who truly does not need full-time lines 52 weeks of the year.  Great for those who only need or want 500 or so lines a day, maybe because they are only helping out or making a little extra money.     They are EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE and LAID BACK.  However, if you need 1500+ lines a day consistently, you would be better off finding full-time, employee status.  I think they might overhire now and then, resulting in a lack of work.  NONETHELESS, I say God Bless Them, Every One. 


Working for Chronicle has been an awesome
experience for me. This is a growing company with high standards, plenty of work, and respect for the transcriptionist. You really can't go wrong with Chronicle Transcripts.
Javabean thanks for your answer! It is awesome
and very much appreciated... We need to know there is a place to post safely, and your tips are great... I guess I would like to believe in my heart that people can post opinions and ask for information without losing their job or potential job. After all, it would be really scary if someone were in a mood one day or ask a question which may offend someone in power and that power would be used wrongly. We are all human and need a place to find a good outlet. On the other hand, people should realize that there are trolls and abusers to stir the pot. Your feedback is truly appreciated!
I work for Keystrokes also and they are awesome...
Love it there!!!
Great job!! That is awesome! Best of luck!
large national whom we all know and love, I am routinely beyond appalled at the junk they produce overseas. It is beyond dreadful. It is dangerous and lethal to our patients.  I refused to edit it, personally, and resigned over it.  Glad to know others are fighting for us.  Its a disgrace beyond measure - rather along the lines of priceless, me thinks! Best of luck! Go get 'em!
Awesome! Thanks for adding to the list!
Really appreciated!
Here's an awesome resource for MTs using MS Word...sm
It's called Tips 'N Techniques in MS Word --Productivity Tips and How-To's for the Transcriptionist compiled by Cheryl Flanders. It really helped me when I was new to Word. It comes in a large, handy spiral binder. I ordered mine from her website, cherylflanders.com. I believe it was around $40. You can also find her online help in a forum called ProductivityTalk.com.

Good luck, I hope this helps! Also, I'm sending you an email.
AWESOME! Very creative writing.

Just wish it would happen.  I do believe that management should take a pay cut also!  There is no reason that they should not have to do more work for less pay like the rest of us.  After all, this is a very tough economy we are dealing with and we have to keep the clients happy.  That is our number 1 priority! 


Some people don't like the truth, I love to shout it out LOUD. 


To the other poster who keeps bashing the original poster.... anyone can obtain an account.  That is the easy work.  The hard part is keeping them, and I believe that is the job of the MT. 


 


Personally, I think that is awesome. They're not trying hide anything from anybody. I think tha
would be a company worth checking into.
Awesome choice! You'll love it here!
I have been with KS a little over a year and love it! Congrats and good luck!
Transcend stinks...They used to be awesome but it has gone from bad to worse.
My line count has gone down so I have no doubt they are manipulating line counts and communication is the worse. Everything falls on deaf ears unless they have a problem with you, then they email you very quickly, but forget getting help on anything else. The more TL and QA people they have added the worse it has gotten. Maybe the problem is that they are not sure what their job descriptions are so no one answers emails. I'm done with them.
Awesome! I am glad to have found this company.
