That doesnt sound too slow to me.. I would probably be slower, I am tired and old too.
 Wish it were just my fingers though.
Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Agree, lines are hard to get. I also think the sound quality doesnt help things. nm

Anyone presently working for DSG that can tell me do you have work and is the sound still so poor
or is that in DSG 2. Would appreciate hearing from current people working there.
For no-pay, I presume. Let THEM work the bugs out -sm
They created the program to THEIR benefit and THEIR profit. Sure, have the MTs work the bugs out for GRATIS. Sweet deal for the MTSOs and vendors, right?
sure does not sound like a good move if you are not getting sm
the work types you like and are good at. Sorry to hear you are not happy.
you both don't sound happy there anyway. Move on. Happiness is better than being rich! nm

Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.

Sure there are things that sound great about working for the
I hired on with the local hospital here with the promise of going home. Yeah right!!!! Excuse after excuse after excuse and then I was told that I had to cross train on acute care before I could go home. So, that meant, what, another 6, 8, 10 months? Hahaha, no way. I love my radiology and that is what I want to stick with. I am home, but not with the hospital. And, making more money.
Bugs?
They need an exterminator!
As your accounts move to India, they move you to another account. NM

There's no work at this place! Move on! nm

They are going to work with everyone to move them to FT. There will be other options. sm
Keystrokes treats their employees very well, and would never just eliminate someone. PT positions will be redefined and changed, not eliminated completely.
Why does every post on here have to be negative? If you don't know what's what, you should not comment or read more into it.
Maybe all that work should come off CM and move to Enterprise? sm
Maybe it's better all the way around and we won't suffer like you are?
Suck it up and work the extra or move on!! sm
I am one of those MTs who had gotten sick. I hate to call of sick, but believe me, I could not work and then, once I was well, I stepped up and tried my best to work extra! Yes, it is the holidays and we all have a lot to do, but if the account gets behind and they get ticked, they can pull it and take their business elsewhere and where will any of us be? WITHOUT A JOB, that's where. If you don't want to do your part and step up to the plate for a company that is by FAR one of the best out there, well then you don't deserve to work for such an awesome company. Take it from someone who knows first hand, the grass is definitely NOT greener elsewhere. Look at all the MTs out there complaining that they don't have any work. I would much rather be in our situation than in theirs. I, personally, plan to work my tail off this week to help get things back in TAT! I wholeheartedly cannot imagine that QT is doing any kind of outsourcing! They have said all along that they do not support this! I hate coming on and reading things that are not backed up with FACTS. If you can't give solid evidence about the accusations you are making, then just zip it! Sorry for the long post, but it gets me fired up to see this company getting bashed when it does not deserve it!
I have one suggestion..If there is no work. MOVE ON..why whine and complain on here EVERY day. I
agree with Jay. Maybe other people have OTHER things they would like to talk about besides being out of work every day at TransTech. I will say this.. with that much controversary and unhappy there, I would never work there and neither should you if your so miserable. Obviously, something is really wrong with that picture. Now, move on.. You can do better.
Nice people. I constantly ran out of work and had to move on. nm

You need to leave due to lack of work. Put in your 2-wk notice and move on. Gotta earn a living! nm

Unfortunately, this does sound like the JLG I work for (sm)
recently took from 5/26 (supposedly, at least) until 6/6 for me to get my paycheck, and it always takes over a week (yet somehow when they want me to fill something out or whatever for their purposes, it gets here much quicker...) Have to pretty much agree with mt34+ on everything here, except I'm still working for them. Haven't yet quite convinced myself that the grass will be greener anywhere else, I guess!
did you work for MTS? sound like them for sure!
nm
Of course you work for OSi. You sound just like their management
how sad!
May I ask how the work is at DSG right now. Are you still having problems with sound and is that
mainly with DSG2. I have been contacted by them and am considering what I want to do. Thanks much.
I work on DSG-2 and one account the sound can be sm
horrible but the other accounts are pretty good. No real problems with sound.
Sound quality and now, no work
I just love it when I get up early to work my required sch'd hours and see 0 reports on all my accounts. The DQS system had horrible sound quality even when I worked at MedQuist, so I don't believe it's much to do with any given company but more due to the platform of choice.
Wow, does not sound like the JLG I work for! You are scaring me! sm
My experience has been quite the opposite, but then again I came from MQ so I could be tied up and dragged by my toes while having needles stuck in my eyes and I'd think it was better. Just kidding, but other than not have DD, no complaints at all here.
Low work volumes, horrible sound
What is going on with Transcend?
I am about to leave also and I never thought I'd see myself type that!
I have no sound issues, plenty of work...
Not sure what platform you are on, but I am on 2 of the Dictaphone accounts and there is so much work not sure how we are going to get it all done. My team leader is good and the company has some of the best benefits of any place I have worked, and believe me I have worked for a lot of companies. I am sure it is not a fit for all, but what MT company is.
Doesn't sound like the Transtech I work for...NM
nm
I work for DSG now and the sound quality is just fine sm
now that they are not doing MQ subcontracting.
However, I'm wondering why they are hiring. Of course all companies want their reports back in the right TAT but why do they always have to over hire? I am sure they want weekend and night coverage. That's a problem I think with any company. Even at MQ we are being asked to change our working hours to afternoon, evenings and weekends.
Work can be really low at times and I find the sound to not be the
best but it is not any worse than a lot of the other places.
You may have to move on to move ahead (sm)
One way to look at what you are doing right now is more training only you are being paid for it; once you have a year or two under your belt as experience, you may be able to command a higher wage someplace else. It's funny, a place will pay more for someone with 2 years' experience than they will pay someone who has worked for them for 2 years! Go figure.
Can anyone comment on the sound quality and JLG and work availability? nm
,
Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma
services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational. ALL software has its share of problems. It's the nature of the business. When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO? If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement? Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?
My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete. It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.
All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions. If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it. If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on. However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt. While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.
Good Luck!

Nobody said they were. That doesnt make it right. I

Doesnt matter. Not much from one MT but X many

TTS-Why doesnt this come up in the archives?
Maybe it's my search engine but whenever I put in TTS, TTD or anything abbreviated, nothing comes up. Anyhow, does anyone have any information on this company, TTS?
Let's see...lousy sound quality, dictators with no skill, unavailable QA, running out of work.nm

My brain would look like an overdone fried egg if I do do VR for more than one day. At least when we do straight-typing MT, we're creating something - a medical document. VR is just robot-work, and adds to the concept that that's all we are, as well. Nonhuman, dispensible robots.
Doesnt matter if YOU see it as conflict or not.

Why move all the work for Heartland overseas, are the MTs overseas that much better?
Why? Why do this. It is my understanding that in time that work will be coming right back. Are the overseas MT's in Banglador or wherever better. Don't the companies that offshore worry about the quality of the work, HIPPA issues, patient's confidentiality, etc. Why don't they care? Mark my words, those MT's are not better than us, they have US editors, etc to help them out. They cannot land a new account US-based and compete with any US mt's. What a sad day. I pray for all the Heartland MTs.
Doesnt it seem like there arent many companies hiring right now. nm

I bet Vandy doesnt know all their stuff is done overseas now.
wonder if they would pull out if they knew. i know for a fact spi is lying to them
Foreclosure doesnt pop up suddenly overnight.Why
