This is what I have found while looking for the right job - sm
I have one child still at home who will be going off to Kindergarten in a couple of years. I do not want to put my child in day care, so I need a job that provides an adequate window to be able to finish my work. I do 1000 lines per day, 5 days a week. I know that isn't a lot, but with a child at home with me during the day, that's the most I can do at this time. I have yet to find a company who will allow you to have employee status and flexibility with your schedule. Yes, you can generally pick your own schedule with most companies, but I just cannot say that I will be able to finish my work within an 8-hour period of time. That is why I am looking into FN at this time.
To each his own. I have found in all my
years of working at home that what one MT thinks is great, another thinks is not so great. The opinions of the company that I stated are my experience. It could be mine only. I am only trying to help.
Found it! (nm)

I found
a Medical Dictation, Inc. located in Florida.

Has the same email addy. Looks a little...um...well anyway, that's what I found.

I was not impressed, it took a long time to learn, and the training the pits.
OK, I found it
Thanks I will check that out!
I found some...
I finally found some fairly current posting about OSI. I had to go back to page 20 or so. However, if anyone wants to add anything new, I would love to read about it. Thanks.
What I found -
Most accounts have plenty of horrible ESL docs. There is also lack of work on a very regular basis. Pay is on time and seems to be correct. Communication, when there is any, is often rude, stinging, and nasty for no reason whatsoever other than *someone* is having a bad day. You decide for yourself.
Found it!!
Never mind, unless someone has updated information. I just did a search and found past posts on this company.
That's what I found odd..It was never really an ad..
It really was just someone on the job seeker's board, a Baspen or something saying that some company had contacted her about a traveling job and she was passing on the information. So, no company ever came and did an ad themselves, just supposedly an MT with information. The next thing you know, she is saying the position is filled Now, if she was only just an MT who was asked about a job she didn't want, what is her angle advertising on here for them. I found it odd and thinks this person solicited resumes for whatever reason. I am not sure why it was even allowed on the job board as I do not feel it was very legit.
Thanks! Found it.
I have to buy it. Thought someone could tell me how to delete words/lines at a time, etc.
Let me tell you what I have found about VR
I am on VR and thankful, very thankful a lot of the ESLs on there - the reason is their dictation actually comes out better on VR than hearing yourself. If they have a medication VR is really able to get in a way I never could have imagined. I would not worry about VR being able to get their voices- what I think will probably happen in your job is any and all dictators probably going to VR and then the money for transcribing drops, tremendously. A lot of places trying to do away with straight (the nationals) and get VR.
I have found it
by just typing in MD-IT Transcrip;ton Service. Their website came up.
Found it, is this it?
The company I have been working for for about a year decided they were not going to pay this pay period because they claimed they did not get paid because of bad transcriptions and they were looking to see who were behind the bad transcriptions and then pay next pay period, which is a month after the work is completed as it is. Also, the work has been under 100% QA, so how could there be bad transcriptions still getting through? Does anyone know if there are legal remedies, as they owe me three paydays if they decide to not pay me.
I think I found it! Thanks!
I founds some discussion.
We only found out...sm
...in December. I'm sure the whole thing had been going on for a while, but they didn't tell us MTs until December and gave us about 2-3 weeks' notice. The conference calls were very helpful and informative, however. Made the whole process easire. My TL would always send us emails letting us know what was going on and what to expect...which was not much change from what we were doing already, except for how we report our time/lines. I just wish we didn't have to fill out all that paperwork again (W-4, I-9, etc.). The HIPPA and Transcend-specific paperwork I understand, but the others I wish would have just been transferred over. I'm not privy to how that process works, so I just do what I'm instructed to do.
Not sure about the not sending work to India thing. I believe that Transcend does send work overseas, but it's a small percentage from what they told us.
found it. thank you so much. nm

After 26 yr doing this I have found..
that if a co is paying this way, they are not paying well... the better companies are up front and do it by 65 char line.. no confusin formulas :)
wish I could have found you when sm
I was hiring MTs several years ago!
I would think by now you would have found another job.
Wasting time complaining here.
Here is what I found on ANP ....
I don't know this company and have not seen an ad posted for them, however, when I goggled them I found these 2 sites that are extremely alarming for anyone that would want to apply with them ....
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/334/RipOff0334462.htm
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/173/RipOff0173596.htm
While these reports are older, it does send up warning flags, in my opinion.
found a little more...
I would recommend, once again, just using the words of: 'company name' acquisition 'company name'

I think I found it but....
It is for sales not for a transcriptionist.
... I found myself a new job NOT MT, but
I probably wouldn't trust the offer you just threw out there. Cynical MT that I am! It looks like something I'd see on a telephone pole (and used to see, make $30,000 in your spare time doing medical transcription!
No offense, just how it struck me.
The only link I found
http://www.webnow.com/stattransinc
I found a macro to do this for you.
This is the link to the entire discussion and the macro for Word, but since there are several macros to do it, you can go and copy it and decide which one you want.

never mind, I found them on the sm
internet. They are in Abbeville SC. I have sent for information on their company. I am going to check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Where can this statement be found?
t
I found some stuff, but nothing really about -sm
their flexibility. I may leave an IC job to become an employee and I am really worried about it, not sure that I can do this with 1 child still at home (3-year-old boy). I know there is a BIG difference between IC and employee status. I just don't want to stress myself out too much on a day-to-day basis. By the way, I'm not the OP. I think I will pass though. Flexibility is extremely important to me, at least until my youngest goes to Kindergarten.
Nevermind. Found out they do not. Ah well.

I found a few comments...
from 2005 by using the Search function up above with Chase Transcription...those comments didn't look particularly encouraging so would be interested to hear any current opinions, too. Don't remember for sure, but there may have been some comments a few pages back, will have to do a search page by page forthose since not archived.
Thank you, Helper. I found it!

I found a 9 pin to usb adapter at
for $25.00. The one I found came in a lime green box in the computer accessory isle. They are out there, also Belkin makes them, can go into their website under adapters. Good luck
Would you share where you found it? sm
I've been scouring the IRS website and others trying to find something in writing for myself and not comping up with want I'm looking for. I'd really appreciate it....or at least direction on where to look.
I HAVE FOUND HEAVEN
I know we all hear a lot of negative feedback on many companies for many different reasons, whether it be benefits not being paid, money not being paid, jobs not staying in the U.S. I tried four different companies before I found MDI and made it my home. I have never worked with such a great group of caring, supportive people. I have been transcribing for more than thirty years, on and off, and have found everything I could want in a company, especially working from home. They always have support and someone always answers the phone when you call, you stick to your schedule and you don't have extra people on there taking your work away, you get paid on time, and get time off when you need it with a little advanced notice. The thing that totally blew me away was receiving a package from them the other day with a big thank you card for hard work, and a box full of goodies. I don't remember getting that from employers when I worked on site. If you are looking for a company that keeps their word and has happy longterm employees, MDI is the place to be.
Scratch that.....Found it. Wow!!!!

found them to be hot and cold -
Do not have time to play head games with people. Waste of my time and energy.
They were never in the least helpful to me. I found my
own job/s and never heard a word from them. I would not recommend them at all. I know a private individual (MT/QA) who has led me to more openings than any employment service could ever have done, but in most cases, just contact the companies you see advertise and you will find a job. You might want to try Phoenix MedCom if you are interested specifically on ops.
Thanks - found what I needed! nm

I use to work there and found out
about this shortly before I left. I did not enjoy working with them at all.
I've found that cos. doing this will, SM
if you are making NO mistakes in your work, let you off full QA quickly (like second or third day). Having a limit like that should be no problem to a good transcriptionist.
I found out, it's ABC Transcription.

NEVER MIND....I FOUND IT!
For some reason it wouldn't pull up posts, but I found them!
I have found with VR that your ESLs
seem to work out better a lot of the time than our English speaking people, ?? I thought when I first started on VR there are just some they would never be able to understand and not so. Making this long story short, even with the reduced pay (very reduced in fact), I am so glad because VR can pick up a lot that I otherwise would never be able to understand from them. Seeing and listening to VR, I am really surprised at just how well it works with these dictators.
Thank you. I tried to search but found nothing. sm
I heard privately from one other poster who said much the same as you just did. I think I will keep looking!
Found one in Oregon but not NJ
The one in Oregon looks like (at least on the doc side) to use Intrascript. I would not recommend this platform at all. It is a big fat pain and slooooooow. If it is web based, that has a tendency to be faster, but the installed program version is very slow even on a brand new computer system.
What I have found is that the hospitals SM
will usually try that as a last resort to get their own transcriptionists to produce more. When they find out that the production increase isn't that big (or production actually decreases), then they outsource the whole thing and say that they tried everything to keep their own people.
so, they WOULD have found ways....or....
you say they would have....does that mean they did, and if they did find ways to cheat, how so? You say you worked in the office and say they would have found ways, and it would take us a while to figure it out, but you don't say they actually did find ways to cheat, so which is it? Your statement is vague and you need to elaborate.
