I have worked on this platform for years at MQ
and have not found this to be true at all. If you are going with MQ, just know that you do not get paid for the demographic info a/k/a ADT info.
I love DQS and have found my line counts to be accurate.
I have worked at Webmedx for 5 years now. The platform sm
issues are continually being worked on. I think the platform is slow when work gets low. Very flexible place to work. You get 12 hours to do your 7 or 8 hour day (35 hr/week is full time with benefits). I like the ShortHand and the platform, very user friendly, very, very simple to learn. The accounts I do are high ESL but that's fine by me. I have an ear for them, so not too much of a problem. My boss is wonderful, the QA folks are very helpful, and tech services can't be better, in my opinion. Hope this helps.
Same program used now as 4 years ago. Very simple to use. nm

Actually iType is s simple program to use. I liked it and it worked well with dial-up. nm

It's their own platform on the editing end, I-Type. Not sure what you meant...nm

I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
Sorry, I meant for years....
:)
Oops... I meant years NM

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
I meant years lol.. where's my head at today.
Oops. I meant I have been MT for 6-7 years, been with Worda
w4r
oops, meant 10+ years--it's been a long day!! nm
..
need to clarify...I meant if you are taking a specific "training" class on the platform, navig
then no you are not getting paid...but if you are typing reports then yes...
I assumed it meant you didn't need years of experience..what does entry level mean to you?

I have been on this platform 7 years now - my take on it
It has nothing to do with that platform itself but how the various companies program each character to be counted. I have personally gone to the part of the program where you can program how much you want each character to count as far as keystrokes. There can be extra added for bold, underlined, every kind of punctuation, all the way down to how much do you want each letter of the alphabet to be counted. Meaning, if someone wanted to, they could count the letter *c* four times for each time it was typed and your line count could really add up. You also need to specifically ask the companies that use it if you get paid for the ADT, data tags, etc. The bottom line is that it is not this program but how it is manipulated by the powers in charge!
I worked QA on that platform and they had ...
just updated it. It is the WORST platform I ever worked on. I'm so glad I moved on. I am now working for the best company - I love my job now.
Best platform ever used in 20 years of MTing. NM

depends on what platform you worked on
They arent all great, but they arent all bad. When did you do your time there?
Has anyone worked with Iscriptor platform?
Does Iscriptor only work with ExpressScribe voice player? I have had problems getting ExpressScribe to work the way I would like it to. When I let up on the foot pedal, I would like the recording to back up a few words rather than just picking up where it left off or even moving ahead a little. Any advice?
Not sure if related but I worked on Neo PLATFORM,

the platform I worked on was sten-tel
still have the bookmarks - must be a few different ones that they use.
Have any of you ever worked with EXText and RISS rad platform?
Very interested in pros/cons of the RISS and how it interfaces with EXText. Please feel free to email if you prefer
I am in training - 27 years experience. Love the platform! nm

I am not afraid of VR, as I learned it many years ago on a very good platform, but they did not cut
my line rate, but instead paid me for my knowledge in the medical field. By the way, I made very good money back then, too. Cannot allow my skills to be sold at one-half my current line rate. I have more pride in myself and confidence in myself than to be paid that cut-rate by any MTSO out there.
I agree. Extext is the platform I've ever worked with. nm

The platform used to be Apex. The worst thing I have EVER worked on.
I quit after a few days of struggling with that garbage. I made like $9 in two days LOL. I just remember typing a half hour only to get 30 lines and it was like over a full page of text. I'd say rip off...
I have worked for MDI for 2 years and I
have never gotten a raise. Production incentives????? Never. If you are looking for all the perks, you'd better look somewhere else.
Worked at OSi for over 2 years and they have never
I worked for them about 3 years ago
The people were real sweet, but I couldn't pay my bills. They have a funny pay scale and it changes after 3 months. Wish you luck.
I have worked there for 2+ years sm
and am happy with the company. They supply your computer for free, they help with education, everyone is helpful. There was a slow time for a few months, but it has picked up now. MT work always has slow times from time to time. They have hospital accounts that one can work on if one runs out of work, which they pay more for MTs that can work acute care accounts as well as CMTs.
I have worked for them for 2 years and like it.
They have multiple platforms to work on. They have some difficult accounts, but no more than any other company I have worked for. There is always work available as you have secondary accounts and they provide a list of accounts that need extra help daily. Benefits are good, pay is NEVER late, direct deposit.
I worked for them about 2 years ago as IC sm
and they were really nice people to work for. Paid on time and very flexible, too.
I worked for them a few years ago.
I got my feet wet working for them, and I gained some valuable experience. However, I found that they constantly sent updated notes/templates on how their docs wanted files formatted. This got to be very time consuming after a while as this seemed to be a weekly occurence. Of course, that was a few year ago, so they might have come up with a better system. I also found their pay to be on the low end, and their raises, which you had to put in for, weren't all that great.
I worked for them 3-4 years ago and they were
very, very nice. At the time, it was strictly IC status. Don't know what they pay now but I got 7 cents a line. They had radiology, acute care, ER, clinic notes and cardiology. Pay was always on time. Platform was nice, all done over the internet, use your own PC. Never had problems and tech support was great. I would have stayed but needed fulltime with benefits.
I worked there two years ago
And at that time they still gave you all the equipment and paid for down time if you documented it correctly.
I had an okay experience at Transolutions. The people were really nice. What they said in the other threads about receiving huge thick binders on each account is true though, and I did run out of work a few times but they paid me for it.
I worked for her years ago
and in my many years before and many years since, I have never had a worse experience. Pay was by the gross line and I got my money, but I have never known anyone to be as nasty and mean as this person was to me. This is just my experience, but IMO, you would be wise to avoid any dealings with this company.
Probably should have said, I worked for them about 4 years ago, so they may pay a little better now.

I think that's sad. I worked there about 2 years ago and liked it. nm

I have worked there for over 3 years and I'm...
 Great people to work for. Pay is very dependable. Work is very consistent. Most of the time there is more work than you can handle. My paycheck is very consistently in the same price range unless I take days off. Great QA people. They work with your schedule. I honestly do not have any complaints about them. I really like working for them.
I have worked as IC for 10 years
and never got - even with had my own hospital accounts - thing is - so many people have access to the report - who can prove what? I also hear terribly expensive unless you get through AAMT
It has been about 5 years since I worked there so
things may be different, but account was 85 to 90% Indian dictators and I had to re-record. Poor dictators and poor quality dictation is a horrible combination. I can't remember what the pay rate was, but it wasn't near enough. They would also call me up to 6 times a day, sometimes just to chat, other times they were just so disorganized it took that many calls to get all the info. I don't remember the name of the platform, but it was not user friendly at all. I worked there less than a month I think.
I worked for them years ago and it took several..sm
phone calls to get my first paycheck. Needless to say, I immediately quit. I don't know if they are different now or not but I would be cautious.
I worked for them but it was probably 5 years ago.
At that time I had to re-record work. The account was about 95% ESL dictators from India (this is what I was told by the company). So rerecording and Indian dictators make for not very good dictation. Their platform was extremely time-consuming and not at all user friendly. I can't remember the pay, but it wasn't enough. The office would also call me up to 6 times a day because they were so disorganized they couldn't think to ask me everything in one call. They sometimes called just to chat. I had only worked a short time and had no relationship with these people, yet they called to chat. The woman I dealt with sounded very blonde.
Things may have changed since then. They advertise for new positions a few times a year and I don't know if that means they retain most of their MTs or possibly have lost accounts, or their hiring for new accounts.
I worked for them 4 years ago
and not sure if I was just very inexperienced at that time or what but I felt the work was tough - never had the same doc twice and heavy ESLs... don't remember the system being cumbersum (sp) or the C-phone stuff - and I always had skads of telephone lines so not sure about that either
I have worked for them for 5 years....
I never experienced a problem with being paid on time. Direct deposit, is always there on the day expected, sometimes the day before. Benefits are nice, plenty of work. I enjoy the atmosphere. Management accessible to the top. A very comfortable place to work...not the usual *corporate* atmosphere. I had plenty enough of that before coming to Breitner. Like I said, very comfortable place to work. I don't dread turning on the computer in the morning, and that means a LOT nowadays. 
I also worked there for several years. sm
It was an excellent place to work, but you do have to learn the account. QA is very good, they will not accept sloppiness. I felt it was one of the best companies I have worked for; I learned enough to do editing for another company, which is why I left. It was a very good experience.
When I worked there about 3 years ago, they were in .

I worked for them for a few years...sm
You are welcome to e-mail if you have any questions.
I worked for them several years ago as IC sm
don't think they offer employee status, they paid on time, checks never bounced and always had work and were very nice people to work for. Tech support was very good, they had internet-based platform. Back then they paid 7 cents per line and had both fulltime and parttime status, don't know about their pay now. I would go back if I could.
Worked there for over 2 years...
They've had a lot of turnover recently, both of in-house employees and at-home transcriptionists. Basically the only reason I stayed as long as I did was because the scheduling department was flexible, and their PTO was decent. However, with the new payscale, I was making considerably less money and felt that was very unfair. As far as their DOS system, the system is very simple and generally speaking trouble free. However, loading demographics and downloading work was very time consuming (and unpaid). QA policy stunk too. They were very inconsistent in checking your work, and I feel that as long as someone is working hard and doing a good job, they should NOT be docked for errors. They call it a QA bonus...I call it a way to lead people on and pay them less than what they're worth! I left Transolutions a couple of months ago and have never looked back. I love where I'm at now and feel that I'm being treated fairly again. I'm sure it's a good fit for some people, and everyone has to find their place. For me, it was becoming more hassle than it was worth and was time to move on.
I have worked for DSG for 4 years...
and the only time I have had a problem with low work volume is during the holidays when people/docs are on vacation. From reading this board, this is a problem with a lot of companies, not just DSG. DSG has been my income for 4 years with no backup job and I have been fine.
