"Just get to your darn keyboards and work!!!!"
Oh my gosh, who are YOU to tell people to get back to their keyboards?!

::crackface::

Unbelievable!

I still cannot get over the fact that you said that. You may say that to your own children but you don't say something like that to an adult/s.

Where did you grow up? Heaven help us.
May not be lying.. *certain* companies never bothered to check their work.

unbelievable. Work for a week sm
without getting paid? What a nice way to clean up their back log for free!

Back a few years ago this profession started being advertised by the schools and in the rag magazines as a work at home job to make tons of money. That is when this profession started down the tubes.

Because it sounds like an easy work at home job, everybody is coming out of the woodwork. Folks who can't spell the word HOSPITAL practically are trying to open MT companies to make big money.

It is very very sad!
DARN STRAIGHT... and as soon as the Indians are forced to work weekends,

then I will.  I used to have plenty of work for my early morning shift and now none.  Why?  NOT BECAUSE THE CLIENT DOES NOT HAVE WORK AT THAT TIME......


BECAUSE THE INDIANS TOOK MY WORK.  They get to work days and have off nights and weekends becuase us PRIMMA DONNAS are here to suck hiney and say *I will do it cause the client needs it*


WAKE UP!!!!!!!  The world is laughing at you. 


Unbelievable! I work for Transtech and got PAID maternity leave! Some of these
companies need to take a lesson from them.
I know who it is!!! And I can't say it, darn it!!!!

Thanks!!...Darn.. nm

Darn! I'm sorry.
Hopefully they get it fixed soon so all of us can work. I actually got the audio, didn't do the DNS changes, though so maybe that's why. I have no idea. I so hate computers. LOL
Look, I am not lying. Why would I lie about it?!?!
That is one thing I CANNOT STAND!! Someone basically calling me a liar. I DID NOT LIE ABOUT THIS!!! DO NOT CARE IF YOU BELIEVE ME OR NOT!!!
I really don't think it's lying. When they
assume that to mean as part of the everyday situation.  You're are just starting up with this company and I think it's expected that you would type a few days to become familiar.  What will you do if a new account comes on board?  Usually, as QA, you'd be the one to test the account out and get the feel for it before offering advice/suggestions to the MT staff.  I guess you could always refuse to type and just not get paid for that time?
Darn, that would be perfect for me but sm
I can't do the move to Wisconsin thing with a husband, home, etc. I really could train at home strictly for the 3-6 months. And living west of Chicago, the daily drive would kill me.
Darn, that is disappointing.
I was truly considering this company after my line count with Spheris has dropped steadily over the last year and this sounded like a great place to go.  Is there anywhere anymore that treats MTs fairly?
I know, you're right darn it. Ugh. nm

n


And what a darn shame too, because if there
wasn't the MT no one else would have a job.
It is a darn SHAME
WEBMEDX is a click. If you don't know someone personally and are not someone's friend personally, FORGET IT, they will trash you and think nothing of it...Great Job Today, On the streets tomorrow. They don't care who they hurt or who they Belittle. The QA mentoring is LAZY also.
Stop the lying
We're on to it.
Then can almost guarantee they are lying.
nm
Stop lying
Keystrokes does not give pay raises.  I have been with them for several years and have not received a pay raise.  I meet my line requirements when there is work available (more often than not).  I would suggest that if anyone is accepting a position with Keystrokes, do not leave your other job until you have worked a couple of days to make sure it is really what you want.
LOL LOL. now I know you're lying!!!
Please stop already LOL
sorry. Should be TRS's 'ad' - darn expander!

Hot darn it is in the Ahdi book.

The only time QA makes me pound my head is when they are correct and it can be seen in print.


Also, the new Nuance 7.5 VR is so smart. . .it remembers corrections you make. The whole page(s). Start planning. . .this one is top notch. . .better than the first. No more overtime. No more parttimers.


They got caught lying about offshoring!
Love it when one of these companies gets called on the carpet! 
No lying, stealing, cheating at all.
And I am entitled to my opinion. I didn't say all MTSOs are ethical in their business operations but most are.

Seriously, if you read over the board, it looks like a few oldies who are bitter or newbies who cannot get their foot in the door. It doesn't sound like professionals with realistic complaints. It sounds like very withdrawn, angry individuals who do not come out of their shell except on anonymous boards. :)

For the MTSOs who are unethical ... I think they should absolutely be shut down.

Still yet, no one forces you to work for any company. It is entirely your choice. So, make a different one, please.

Be happy.

She may not be lying - but it is not typical or usual. nm

Yes it is true! Quit lying!
There always seems to be a few with their heads in the sand at Spheris - but please!  Go look at your corporate email list and see how many Indian names are on it!  It grows every day.  Good accounts at Spheris disappear every day and that's where they go.  You never read the company forums?  Just because your job is still fine doesn't mean you can ignore the suffering of the majority of your fellow employees!  And to recommend someone else go there just to get burnt is really mean.
I received one also, and in now way will I sign the darn thing either.
I do believe they are worried about the line counting method and "conversion methods" they use to calculate your line count. For now, it is "hearsay", (don't know if I spelled that right), but may come to fruition in the future with proof and hard evidence.

That is all I know right now!
I meant voted (darn expander)
 
Darn, wish mine would have shown up DD today. nm

better than Lanier - darn short-cuts! NM

Darn my shortcut program. That is supposed to be "I" not HPI. nm

Well I don't agree with lying but if I were offered the money she was
offered, I would have taken it and would spend the rest of my life enjoying.
They're lying sort of. They are pretty much
100% Indian, so I guess saying they don't offshore to India isn't a total lie.  They just have an address in the US, which someone posted previously was actually a residence. 
Are you serious? Would you like my personal information to check to see if I am lying???
Give me a break...I happen to like working at Keystrokes and if someone asks a question about them I will answer as best as I can...
Thx...Unbelievable!!! - nm

Unbelievable!
WOW, that does not surprise me though.  She lied to me several times, and caught her in it and still acted like I was wrong.  How can a company like this continue to be in business.  I am going to continue my descent on her, no one ever should have to go through something like this and especially what happened to you, that is even worse.  I have written some of the schools that represent her explaining to them what is going on; I hope they do not recommend her.  I am awaiting replies and I will let you know.  She is messing with the wrong person by not paying me.
Unbelievable

This is just pathetic.  I don't care what he says.  It's all about the almighty dollar.  They pay crap over there and they receive crap in return.  Has anyone seen the kind of work these Indians do who can barely speak English?  Sad sad sad.



LOL...unbelievable...LOL

Unbelievable

 


I can’t even believe that you said all that…you did say one thing in your little rant that was true…you outsource work because “it’s less expensive” which honestly is what it all boils down to!  We all are looking at that dollar so don't act like the employers are the only ones...the companies are looking for ways to line their pockets and obviously outsourcing work makes that happen.  Go ahead and outsource to other countries because one day, someone will come up with a way to do away with your cushy position and outsource it, and the script will be flipped back on you!  I am a hard working Medical Transcriptionist and I resent every word that you said.    


 


  


It's not unbelievable at all
I average 275 lines per hour on a high ESL large teaching hospital account at 9.5 per line for an average pay rate of $26 bucks an hour. Many, many MTs I know make this and more.
Unbelievable
Yeah, wouldn't you think that these highly paid administrators would sit down and talk to people who have been doing this work for years? Instead they call up these companies who promise ANYTHING to get them to sign on and for the first couple of months use really good transcriptionists and then the quality just goes down hill. These cheap transcription companies mostly don't care because they are making lots of money and just move on to the next sucker. But nobody notices for a while and then a really bad mistake is made and the doctors go into orbit. Think of how much time and money they end up wasting.
Unbelievable

I can't believe what a psycho this guy is.  How unprofessional and ignorant on his part.  How many executives take the time to 1) read this board, and 2) continue to taunt and argue a point when they are so easy to prove wrong?  I did send him a private reply via email earlier today, so it's not like he didn't already hear my reply to his original email.  This is all pretty scary if you ask me.  I'm through arguing this point.  Another MT has posted that she had a similar experience and if you're reading this, you can see the caliber of management at SoftScript, so there should be enough here for anyone applying to form their own opinions about working for this company.


Unbelievable
Oh my gosh, you are literally bonkers if you THINK Transtech has recruiters. TransTech has a good enough reputation that they don't HAVE to go out and recruit. They merely post an ad on here from time to time when new accounts are added or if an account needs more coverage. Some of you people floor me with the stuff you come up with. TransTech always has enough work if one doesn't mind learning a new account specifics. That's the problem though. A lot of people would rather stick with one account and not learn anything new. They get in a comfort zone and make more lines posting negative remarks on a message board than they do actually working. There is no company where everyone is going to be happy and if you aren't happy there you have your reasons. I have been with them for 3 years and I have never been happier. I have plenty of work, nobody bothers me, I always get over my line count, the paychecks are ALWAYS on time and correct, not to mention they NEVER bounce and you can call the office and speak with Tracy (one of the owners) and anyone else in the upper management or middle management about anything. As a matter of fact, if anyone who has questions about the integrity of TransTech wants to THEY can call and these people will talk to them, too. They have never tried to hide anything and have always been the most honest people I have ever worked for. I love this company and I will take up for them in a heartbeat. All I can say about the ones that post negative things about TransTech is that if you have had negative dealings with them it is because you were not producing the amount of work you obligated to when you signed on, you're work ethics didn't match what you presented yourself to have and/or you're one of these MTs who are hired by other companies to slam them. So, suffice it to say, be careful who you brown nose, it always comes back to bite you back...always. I bid you adieu!
Unbelievable that they are doing this.

Unbelievable...nm

Unbelievable!
YOU come on here and call her an idiot for her post and when she defends herself, you accuse her of being fired up well, DUH!!! No kidding!!

She is trying to help her fellow MTs with some useful information and you are a little small-minded troll trying to spar with her over trivialities.

Just go away unless you can make an intelligent (and not RUDE) contribution. Thanks.
Unbelievable, 55 too old! I will be sm
54 next month and far as I am concerned just getting started good! People think they want that system but they really are ignorant as to the system. You won't live any longer with the canadian system than you would if you had no insurance! We have flaws, many of them, but still the greatest country in the world!
Unbelievable .... sm
Finally a job comes out that pays decent, .10 cpl BUT you have to live locally in California.  Not going to do me much good over here in Georgia, lol. 
Unbelievable!!!

I spent a few minutes today reading the posts about DIT and their professed Christian company, treating their MTs as family, and then not paying.


And, lo and behold, right there on the Job Seeker's board is yet another ad from them. 


The unmitigated GALL of them to advertise for MTs, especially on the very same day that people are posting about not being paid by them. 


Do such dishonest people NEVER get their just desserts???  


Unbelievable.
You are evil beyond words. Go away before someone drops a house on you, too.
$7/hour is pretty darn good, I was making
the MT inexperience, as the inexperienced is all they are able to hire. Seasoned MT's know better than to go there.
