Anybody know anything about South Medical Transcription out of South Carolina?
TIA!
Thank you. That settles that. nm

I can't afford to stay with VR. If they paid more, I'd stay.
The situation sucks. I really liked this company when I started there. I know they read these forums, and they are aware that we are unhappy over VR line rates. They stroke us with cute emails and say we're the best, but I can't feed my family on praise. They're turning into another MedQuist, and so I'll be leaving.

Sold to Indians. Many people have left them. Terrible VA account.
About the South...
I live in the south, but I REFUSE to defend any MTSO that would treat anyone like that. I do think you have a point, however, about a company located in the south. Employment wages are definitely lower here. However, the company that offered me 7.5 cpl was in Maryland. I currently work as an IC for a very small company who contracts from the local hospital and I am paid 11 cpl. I was curious what was available out there as an employee, but I'm thinking I will stay right where I am. Something needs to be done. They are taking advantage of the MTs and it's time to fight back.

What do you want to know? They overhire like a lot of companies, but for the most part they're o.k. They pay on time and their benefits are good.

MD-IT South Bend Indiana
Anyone know anything about this company? I have been an in-house Transcriptionist for the past 14 years. I was just told today that my job is terminated as of 08/31/07. They are going with MD-IT, and said that this service is interested in employing all four of the in-house transcriptionist. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
hi SCMT - I'm in South Florida...sm
where we have many Jewish doctors and so for us MTs, it slows up in September with Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur....so for 10 days it's slow for us in September and/or October, depending on when those 2 holidays fall...this year it came early.....some years it falls in October....and before, in the 1980s and 90s - in SOUTH Florida...we used to have a *season* where the snowbirds would come after the Jewish Holidays and stay right thru Easter and/or Passover in April-May......so we used to be swamped from January through May. For example, Chanuka is December 4th - that is very early. My Dad used to tell me every 7 years it comes at the same time as Christmas and I suppose this is the year.
However, we have no *season* any longer, not really - we have tourists all year round and it got real busy here......traffic wise...all year round...Europeans come in the hot, hot summer (prices are cheaper to come here then) and we should be a lot busier than we seem to be.
But for me, I'm use to the slow times.........A week from today is Thanksgiving....the stores to buy to eat for Thanksgiving are packed already....and people are getting into the *spirit* of the upcoming seasonal holidays....
Of course, things change and nothing is etched in stone but I've been in this state nearly 30 years and my family 40+ years and I've been watching this field since 1980....
Have a GREAT holiday season!! 
TSSC of South Carolina
Any info regarding this company? Nothing on the boards and cannot find website.
Zylomed South Florida sm
Platforms are MTWorld and Emdat InScribe. Pretty friendly overall, although I don't like Emdat too well.
They assign everyone as an account exclusive and you get the same doctors over and over again. IT is great if you need it, but if they dictate 10 jobs or 150 jobs, the TAT is the same and they won't have back up if you can't finish it. Some managers are good, one is excellent and the rest are not really MTs. QA people are pretty good though and the MT manager is a nice lady.
I sent a resume, I am not from South Florida, sm
and I have not received an e-mail or phone call. I do not recall seeing only South Florida resident applicants need apply in your ad. Is this only for Florida residents?
I have a valid e-mail address, am a real MT with 25 years experience, and never received a response. What's up with that?.

SOUTH FLORIDA transcriptionists - PLEASE READ
I have been trying to respond to people from south Florida who applied with Sage Street Staffing for traveling transcription.
The emails are kicking back as undeliverable. I have tried from multiple email addresses, and they are all kicking back as undeliverable.

thank you
Any updated info on...Transcription South Inc in Florida? TIA
Stay low and stay very, very quiet. Do not
ask questions, do not talk to the supervisors unless forced to. The answer will always be the same, that you are the only one who has an issue, everything else is perfect. Never mention anyone's name. This place has the mentality of the Borg, everyone has been assimilated, which means if your supervisor does not like you, or does not like your friend, you have no chance. You associate with so and so, so you are exactly like them. That quickly goes through the Borg network and every team lead, ROM, and person in management, including HR, is aware of it. You'll be labeled a trouble maker and your life will not be worth living. Any trial to clear your name will be done in the fashion of the trial of witches. You are in a dunking chair - if you drown you are innocent but it is too late by then.
Remember, a ROM never makes a mistake and never tells something that isn't true. They are perfect (and nastier than a pack of hiennas.)
If you run out of work, it is your fault. You are just lazy. Can't make enough to take care of your family? Too bad, you need to work harder.
And forget getting an answer from management. It doesn't
happen. So, as before, stay low and very quiet.
And do a good job? You can be assured that if you do a good job, do what you are supposed to do, and stay quiet, no one will even recognize your name. They have no idea where you work, what your schedule is, or that you even belong to Transcend.

Stay away from
Stay away from OSI then...
Will promise you the world, but then it crumbles beneath you!
Stay away . . . stay far away! (sm)
Not only do they offshore (& offer you the opportunity to earn pennies editing the accounts you worked so hard to develop normals for, etc), but they're one of the companies that docks your lines for the ENTIRE report if you make an error that the client complains about. TRS does that, too.
Make certain about the pay dates -- the employee handbook said they pay the Friday following the end of the pay period on Saturday (i.e., 6 days), but the pay schedule I received showed they make you wait 13-15 days after the end of the pay period.
Were you offered transcription or SR? I've heard good things about the Dictaphone platform they use, but the general opinion seems to be the SR part doesn't work. They offered me 8.5 to transcribe (to start) but 3.5 for SR.
Also do make certain to factor in the several hours you'll spend in uncompensated time printing out all their documents and downloading all the stuff from their FTP site. They don't supply equipment because the recruiter said that 25-50% of the units arrived damaged. Strange -- other companies don't seem to have that problem. I spent 9 years with ddi --> MQ, had probably 5 computers sent out in all that time with nary a problem.
In conclusion, make absolutely certain what you're agreeing to. Personally I find the huge corporations unpleasant to work for -- why should I transcribe to pay layer upon layer of executives, vice presidents of this and that, etc.?
stay away
they have had problems with pay and work load. I had to find a new job.
I will stay and see if I can do it
depending on the requirements of part-time and as long as I can have flexibility to make my schedule when I want it!
I'd stay away...
I was recently offered a job with them, it was for a QA position, allegedly, but then it turned out to be editing on a voice recognition account. I accepted and started getting set up with downloading software, I'd email with a problem and not get a response for days, if I got a response at all, then I'd discover that the guy was responding to me via Yahoo Messenger, not email, even though I haven't been logged on to Yahoo for a week and he didn't bother to tell me that I could expect any communication from him to come via Yahoo. I'm not particularly impressed with the level of professionalism displayed by these people.
Pay is pretty low, I think they start out their entry level transcriptionists at some ridiculously low rate, it was 2 or 3 cents/line, but I heard it's gone up to like 5. I was offered 7 cents/line for transcription and 3 cents/line for editing with five years' experience.
They claim to have a bonus/incentive program, but I asked for specifics and was completely ignored.
They require you to work three days doing five jobs a day at no pay as an "evaluation period."
They were going to sell me a foot pedal at a discount, I sent them a check, and the guy claimed that he'd send it as soon as their shipment arrived and I'd receive it in two business days, but a week and two days after this shipment allegedly was arriving, I still hadn't received it. No email informing me of why, when it would come, etc.
Apparently there were some issues in the past with paychecks bouncing, which I hear has been fixed, but I don't know. I had an oogy feeling about them from the start, and I only accepted the offer as a "just in case" type thing, in case none of the other companies I'd applied to offered me a job.
Stay?
It's been slow but due to them overhiring. I'm still new at this so when the work slowed down I freaked. Do you have any idea what months are the slowest?
I would stay put- sm
If I were you, I would stay put. I was doing 250-300 lph at MQ, they have now adjusted my lines and am now doing 130-160 lph. No benies. You are actually doing pretty good and I make 10.25 cpl. I had one day I made $12.40 for one hour. I would stay put if I were you, at least you know the system and the doctors.
I'm still there, but trying to stay
Which isn't easy. QA program isn't exactly fair from a money standpoint as they don't give you any context from which to learn from the presumed errors in order to get to 100 percent. They only tell you the word you got wrong, no context, no copy of the report. There's no way to challenge or clarfy what QA says (I've tried). If there is an error that's in a macro or normal, you'd never know in order to change it. QA needs revamping, and QA rules your income potential. As they say on M-TV NEXT!
I would stay with MQ
x
definitely stay where you are at.
You have the best position right now. Working for nationals or otherwise at home is just bad nowadays. I would really like to be in-house and paid hourly, and I am keeping my ears and eyes open for a position. Take care.
Stay away
I worked full time for them and never had enough work. The pay is horrible and the VR is the WORST!!!!!!!!!! SO glad that I left!
almost all ESL and going to VR stay put nm

stay away!!!
They are a horrbile company to be associated with in any way! They lie, they have horrible ethics and...I could go on and on!
Stay away!!!!
I worked for them a while back and they care more about the almighty dollar (quantity) rather than quality. They give you a primary account and then will take it away from you with no notice. They say they want everyone to be cross-trained, but how in the world are you supposed to make any money by switching accounts all the time?! Also, they have been known to cut your pay without notice too.
