We feel hopeful and excited that maybe, MAYBE, if the cosmos and stars align and unite, our employers may toss us a blessed $25 gift card, and you DARE BASH THAT HOPE??? I hope to get one as it will feed my kids for a decent LUNCH for once. You bash us with our hopes and its A-OK for corporate execs to DEMAND their Christmas bonuses which generally run in the 6 DIGITS, and often 7. Yup, that's not greedy, that's not childish, but a bunch of honest, hard working trusting soles transcribing for the health and safety of patients world wide are CHILDISH AND GREEDY for hoping for a crumb of the MONEY THEY MADE by the skin of their fingers for their CEOs. Get a life. You are either swill of the earth or one of the CEOs typing with 1 dirty finger on your laptop in your corporate jet. Fly off!

Beg to differ. It is not perfect and is a long way from being perfect. A LOT of hospitals
are moving away from voice recognition after trying it and failing. The good news is that once burned, it is hard to convince a board of directors to put out money like that for a second try.
I think that it has its place and does work if done right in certain facilities, but it is a VERY small percentage and will not hurt us for many, many years to come.
I am not hiding my head in the sand; I am actually seeing the trend reverse.
Where at - in the corporate office?
or maybe you are management and get paid by the hour. I am guessing probably the hourly paid since you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands chatting all day.
I have 16 years experience and I did not maintain a job for this long with no skill.
Perhaps you should work on some SOCIAL SKILLS - you think? I have always heard if you're good at something you don't have toot your own horn, but you go right ahead and sing your own praises.
The corporate media
they are ALL ABOUT protecting other corporations - and censoring the news is what they do best. Just look at bush.

A most excellent company. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Great group to work for.
Corporate mentality
I am sure at least some of you saw on the news about the hospital shootings in Calif. yesterday. I was just talking to my neighbor today, who is a Occupational Therapist there. She was saying how bad the atmosphere in the entire hospital has been for the past 8 months. Somewhere along the line I think the compassion and caring has gone out of corporate healthcare. It is only about the almightly dollar now. This particular facility has been very secretative about lay-offs in the past months. People get called in and told you have 15 minutes to be out of the building. What ever happened to two weeks notice, they want their employees to give them two weeks notice before they quit but when they want to get rid of someone they just smack them in the face with it. The rumors were flying that there were going to be more layoffs and the shooter, whom everyone says was a really great guy, was apparently stressed out over the fact that he would be let go. It is a sad situation all over but if the corporations would care more about their employees and less about saving a buck morale in this country would be alot better than it is right now. My neighbor said they brought in a new CEO and that is when things got really bad. The real tragedy is that the manager of the department he worked in had just come up with a plan by changing schedules, and cutting costs in some other areas he was not going to have to lay anyone off. Everyone is saying if only the guy had talked to his boss. 8 kids are now without fathers. The hospital spokesperson steadfastly denied any future layoffs but the rumor is they are going to happen in June, it will be interesting to see how they do that after they got on nationwide TV and said no more layoffs are planned. A really tragic story, the guys who were all wonderful fathers gone for nothing.
not only the corporate mentality of sm
the way they treat employees but also the way the medical profession treats patients.
I have a chronic illness that puts me in the hospital every so often and I am telling you the care (or lack of) is ridiculous. Hubby works for this particular hospital for the last almost 20 years and he says he fears the day when some idiot comes in and starts mayhem. We did have an incident three years ago where some guy whose son had died went to the office where the doctor was at and shot and killed him. Worked out that he wasn't so ticked at the doc but he was ticked at the care his son got in the hospital and took it out on the doc. I am to the point I think the whole medical profession is something to stay away from.
Ola Corporate Services
 I just want to praise this owner and company. I have worked there for a couple of years now, and she is awesome! Very easy to get along with--work is always available in whatever amount I request--and pay is ALWAYS on time and no hassles. I love working here!
Sorry, I dont. Maybe call Corporate.

Info on OLA Corporate Services
in California. I have never heard of this one! Anyone have any info on it? Thanks!
Don't forget the corporate director of HR
He's a piece of work too, totally nuts!
I personally never give the corporate contact as
a reference. I always give a supervisor that I had as reference as they CAN give a reference. Many supervisors do not stay at companies and it is always better that they talk to someone who knows your work. HR has to go by the rules of just verification. You can give references though so get together with your supervisors and see if they will either give you their contact info or a letter of recommendation. That always helps. Right now with all the MTs out there looking, I would try to get my feet planted firmly on the ground as soon as possible.
Why not call the corporate office / payroll? nm

Corporate greed is driving it right out of existence
can afford to live in the United States and stay in MT. More & more of us are getting out. Some, like me, are trapped... been at it for too long (30+ years), and most of us are now what you would call the Working Poor. Back in my 20's when I came to that 'crossroads', I should've gone with my friend and learned court-reporting. So far their jobs haven't been teetering on the brink of extinction (yet), like ours are in MT.
Spoken like a true corporate sell-out.
Lisa and other corporate "hacks". You really outdid yourself on this one.
Been reading and watching a lot, but your posts are definitely the best I have ever seen as far as being totally inaccurate and misleading.
My first statement is that if Transcend is so ashamed of outsourcing/offshoring why do they do it. They need to be upfront about what they are doing and quit telling these lies. They do not just offshore work because there is no available help. They offshore work because it is cheaper. Too many nights I see 20 to 50 reports go flying off my screen while I work and I am left with nothing to do for the rest of my shift. If anyone cared about me and my having enough work, this would not be happening.
Transcend has publically stated that they use offshoring because it is cheaper - not because there is a lack of available help. They said they would not take work away from the domestics; but I guess my status is so low that I am not even considered a domestic. And your statement below that they would not use offshore if there was enough domestic help is completely absurd.
You and those other Fony ADHI people who have that stupid F after your name - those of you who think you are more important and better educated than the doctors - need to face reality. You picked up the phone after 'your public meeting and called Larry'. Who do you think you are? The most important person in the world? You are a brown-noser, trying to get settled into management by hobnobbing with the bigwigs. Did you ever stop to think that Larry might have far more important things to do than to chit-chat with you? Well, I guess it worked, you dug your way into a team lead position didn't you. And with that position you know just like everyone else knows that offshoring is not going away no matter how many state-side MLS there are in the company. You have just lost every ounce of credibility you may have had.
And how can you say that offshoring was your biggest objection to this merger. You obviously came over with TRS and they have a school in Barbados so even more work can be offshored. Did you object to them having offshore associates?
Lisa, its time for you baby ostriches to grow up and pull your head out of the sand and face reality. We do not believe you or anyone else that is trying to pass off these type of statements as true, just like we do not believe that we can make anywhere close to what we made with straight transcription by doing that VR stuff, especially with the problem-riddled platform that Transcend uses.
Things might settle down a little faster if you would just be honest.
I worked 30 years out in the corporate world
Suits are the same everywhere. They sit on their asses in their fancy offices and rake in the dough and make the peons beneath them make their coffee and run their errands. They rob from the poor and give to the rich! I've talked to them, covered their butts, lied for them and even gave them sexual favors back when sexual harrassment was just a big word! You must be married to one or you wouldn't be acting as if they poop golden eggs! They produce NOTHING but spin tactics and good old boy networking!
All of Focus is indian-based, except their corporate office in MA.
That is a smoke screen to make it look like a US based company. Imagine, indian MTs editing you an American MT with 10+ years of experience, and changing correct terminology to incorrect terminology. I could go on and on, but I won't.
All tech support is india-based, all QA is india-based, most mts are in india, except for the MTs here in USA working for them, all of their account managers are in India working the night shift (their time), day time (our time).
If you are an AAMT member, they have a mailing list that corporate sm
members can use two to three times a year.
Person from corporate contacting me via email regarding my posting today
I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.
Never said perfect. If it were perfect, there would never be room for sm
change or growth. What I was talking about was the continuous posting by the same people, over and over again, that is vague and destructive. This is not just about Keystrokes, this is about the posts for other companies as well.
I think that not every MT is a good fit for every company, and not every company is good fit for every MT. If this were the case, there would be very little job searching or hiring going on, only if someone retired or left the field or entered the field.
It is the outright lying that is so horrible. Keystrokes is a transcription company which means that we have the normal ups and downs that every company has in terms of slow and busy periods. We have been very fortunate to have very little down time due to busy and also new accounts.
If there are check problems, they are resolved. We all wish there were no problems and this is the biggest topic at manager meetings, but human error comes into play here as well. We have a new time recording system that should eliminate that, if the information is entered correctly from the MT.
If there are tough dictators on the account, it is not the fault of the company. It is the fault of the hospital that has them on staff, but you have to take the good with the bad.
If there are QA complaints, it is usually that the leads are too strict. The owners have said that they would rather be known for being too picky than too lenient, thus having accounts say the work is not up to standard.
If there is a reliability problem, it just might not be a good fit.
I know that if I were to take over recruiting and hiring (which I absolutely want NOTHING to do with), I would not take job hoppers. However, I have been told that you have to look at the hopping and why it has happened. A lot could be poor choices. That's why I will never be in charge of hiring, but I can control the MT QA and reliability once they are on my account.
Lee Perfect
I always ran out of work, so I ended up quitting and finding another job.
The perfect job
1. All dictators sound like Patrick Stewart, calm and perfect speech.
2. The company pays a minimum of 12 cents per line, of course spaces included.
3. All management staff were transcriptionists for at least 10 years.
4. 20-year-old Buffy is not assigned as my account manager, just because she's somebody's wife in the company (and she's so dumb she thinks car horns need fluid).
5. Quick and responsive QA people who provide samples and are not menopausal, in a bad relationship, or on a power trip.
6. The company provides me a wonderful leather chair with heat and massage.
7. The turnaround time is 72 hours on all reports.
8. The CEO looks like Johnny Depp and comes to my house for one-on-one training.
9. We all head to Hawaii at least once a year for work relationship training.
10. They actually have a wonderful retirement program that will allow me more than a shanty house with outdoor plumbing.
Am I asking too much?
Perfect! Thank you! nm
Lee Perfect
Is there a company called Lee Perfect in Illinois, and does anyone know their website or anything about them? Looking for a better job...any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Are yo sure this is Lee Perfect? - sm
I have been with them since the early 90s and have had no problems. I know they made changes with their pay schedule so you now get paid in 21 days rather than 14 and in July we go to 28 days, but I've never had a problem with a bounced check, missing check, late check in all these years. Now there's another company that put me through that hell, but not Lee Perfect.
Lee Perfect
There is no QA per du jour. We have a staff of several QA/Editors and I am the QA Account Manager/HR Manager. We do not change our policies every month. When emails are sent out to our MTs - they go to everyone in the entire pool so that someone cannot come back and say that they did not receive a notification that work was overdue, etc. I know that EMDAT is extremely user friendly, however, I do not know about anyone who took a 30% pay cut. If anyone's pay is reduced it is because they are not transcribing the lines they should be. In fact, i have many MTs who are making more on EMDAT than when working on previous accounts that were Dictaphone based. It is all a matter of opinion. However, if you want information, you can come to me directly. I will answer any and all questions to the best of my ability and if I do not know the answer, I will ensure that I find out what the answer is and let you know. I am sure you have heard that same line before but you will have to trust me to see that I get things done!!!!
Lee Perfect
Can anyone tell me anything about Lee Perfect Transcription? Thanks
Lee Perfect
In response to the statement that Lee Perfect pays late is completely incorrect and false. Lee Perfect Transcribing Company is owned by Linda Manderfeld and has been in business for over 18 years. The service to which you are referring that has payroll issues is Keystrokes Transcription Service, formerly of Bolingbrook, Illinois, now Yorkville, Illinois (hicksville). Keystrokes is owned by Lee Tkachuk and Lee Perfect is in no way related to Keystrokes. Lee Perfect has never, ever been late on a payroll or any bill for that matter. You have the nerve to bash a company with one of the best ratings in D&B. You need to get your company information straight. If you want the real scoop, contact me via email and I will tell you - I was one of the lucky ones!!!!
I would be perfect for that but they never have
responded to anything I sent them. That is so very sad. I know others who never heard a word from them either. It's their loss the way we all look at it.
Lee Perfect
I checked the archives and only came up with pretty old info. Would like to hear from current people working for Lee Perfect who could give me answers to these questions. Is there enough work on the heme/onc account advertised on the Job Seekers Board? What platform do they use? How are the staff to work with? Are they flexible on schedules? Pay scale...average, below, above? TIA.
Lee Perfect
I was hired by Lee Perfect in August and ordered a special foot pedal (98 bucks) and have been waiting since the Tuesday after Labor Day for my training. Every day the trainer e-mails me and says she will get in contact with me later that day, and every day I do not hear from her. I e-mailed her yesterday, stating I was seriously considering sending my foot pedal back but she said she would definitely train me yesterday afternoon, she was working 80 hours a week, and was so busy and guess what...not a word since. This is just for some part-time extra money - how long do I wait before I really do send the foot pedal back?
Lee Perfect
I would also say forget it on this one. In my opinion, you have been more than patient. Be sure though when you send that pedal back you get a return receipt from the post office. If they are that unorganized, I would want proof they received it so they cannot come back later and say they never got it.
Lee Perfect
Nice people, but never enough work. I hardly have any work during the day. Very slow. I think they have too many transcriptionists on the account.
Lee Perfect
I had to resign because I never had enough work to do. The QA supervisor is under a lot of stress since she is undergoing chemotherapy. It takes a very long time for her to get back with you. There are other better jobs out there, but you just have to look carefully. They put you in a typing pool, which I hated because they hired way too many MTs on the account and when I logged on to work, my que was totally emptied. I'm experiencing the same thing with my current job as well. I'm beginning to think I need to find a different career!!!!
Lee Perfect
Does anyone know why Lee Perfect requires Emdat experience in their ads for jobs. Is this system that difficult to learn? After working for several nationals, none of them have ever required that I know their platform before they will hire me. How is Lee Perfect to work for. Pros and cons, please. TIA
Lee Perfect
I always ran out of work. I do not like being in typing pools. I could never be guaranteed my daily line count. Be careful.....
Lee Perfect
You must have Emdat experience. I sent my resume to them because I had everything they wanted except the Emdat experience, and they wouldn't even consider me. Do you know why they would require that experience? I have never had any difficulty learning a platform before.
Lee Perfect
They hired me immediately without EMDAT experience. I had lots of ortho experience. However, they never had enough work for me to do so I looked elsewhere. I do not like typing pools. The lady who is in charge of hiring is very nice, but is under a tremendous amount of stress. She is undergoing chemotherapy. She is probably swamped with applications because she placed ads for tons of different positions. I would just keep e-mailing her back and tell her you are experienced. EMDAT is a breeze to learn even if you do not have experience.
Lee Perfect
I sent my resume to Lee Perfect responding to their ad on the Job Board here...they e-mailed me back with a test that included a zillion questions regarding everything from A-Zand another test on the usual medical stuff. Does anyone know if it is worth going through all the hoops? Are they good to work for and how about their cpl rate, is that good or not so good. Not sure I want to go through all this before knowing the answers to my questions.
TIA
Help please...Lee Perfect
I am interested in hearing from current MTs who work for Lee Perfect. How are they to work for and would like to know if you are able to get good line counts with EMDAT, and if so, how long does it take for you to become productive. I am especially interested in hearing from hem/onc transcriptionists and what they think of these accounts. Thanks so much for your time.
Lee Perfect...
Lee Perfect - like them.
TTS - they stink
Focus - they stink
You can also look at the following link for a list of companies that have eScription accounts.

LEE Perfect
Hello! I got an email from Lee Perfect telling me that I passed their test. I was wondering about their platform is, good pay, pay on time, good accounts, etc, etc. Hopefully I can speak to her tomorrow regarding this information but would like your opinions first
Lee Perfect
I did not like working for them. I never had enough work to keep me busy. I was constantly running out. The pay was good, but my paycheck stunk because I never had enough work to do. I also do not like being in typing pools and they do not assign you your own doctors. Good luck.
Lee Perfect
Lee Perfect is great! Very prestigious - no insurance, however.
Well, they are not perfect for everyone.
I know somebody who worked there who had a terrible account. The high line rate could not offset it. It's a fine company and the people are nice, but so much really depends on the account.
I liked Lee Perfect.
They paid well and left me alone to type. I only left because they lost the account and I didn't want to work on their other software.
Perfect? If you like 7.5 cpl....
NEVER said perfect, sm
I'm not being defensive here of my post, it had errors, I even posted right below it that I knew it had errors.
I have never said I am perfect. I said I have received 100% quality reviews consistently for the last 5 years, having been an MT for almost 11. This has been with more than 1 company and with more than 1 person reviewing my work - all far more experienced than myself.
Errors when posting on boards mean nothing, they don't pay my bills, so why should I waste time if the point comes through as intended, regardless of misspellings - everyone knew what I meant.
Lee Perfect does. nm

Anyone with Lee Perfect - sm
I've seen people complain about different platforms with Lee Perfect. Do they still use different platforms and which would be the best one to work on? I do not want training on any system. Is there an exText account?
Also, people have mentioned that you work in a pool and thus have run out of work in the past. Is this still the case?
Thanks for any info.
Lee Perfect
They have plenty of work right now. They DO pay what they say they are going to pay, but they want reliable people. I have NEVER had a problem receiving my pay and i've made some substancial money working for them. Don't knock them until you try them for yourself.
