Care to elaborate on that a little more - sm
Is this the only job you've ever had?? I have interviewed for many jobs in my lifetime, some I was interested in, some I was not. Some that started at $20,000 and others starting at $60,000. I have never thought any questions were strange. The questions that you find strange are probably to weed out what kind of person you are, what kind of situations you can handle, etc. It's a lot easier, I think, than coming right out and asking the obvious questions. Heck, even Red Lobster asks "odd questions" during their interview process, such as, "if you were walking down the street and you THOUGHT you recognized someone across the street, but you weren't sure, what would you do or say?"
A lot of recruiters are generally screening for potential hires before passing them along to the person that does the actual hiring and has more information about particular positions. So in the incident you stated above, that particular recruiter may not necessarily have that information.

I've never had a problem with my pay check at Medware. Care to elaborate? nm
Transcend interview today. Anyone care to elaborate on the ins and outs?
Their ad said Acute Care Transcriptionists and VR editors, so I am assuming that they do have some straight typing positions, right? I know waiting 120 days for benefits is a bomber, but I need something else like right now. How is the pay, incentives, communication, platforms, etc.
Heard Keystrokes was getting better benefits, medical insurance etc.. Anyone care to elaborate? I
ready for a change. 
Is the MDI-FL BeyondTxt as bad as the Transcend BeyondTxt?

Shelly
You have 15 years experience and are making 10 cpl? Did they start you out at that or did you work up to it. Do you have to do acute care to get 10 cpl?
RE: Shelly
I am not a one discipline transcriptionist. I can transcribe any medical speciality with complete confidence and accuracy. Acutally, I have over 20 years performance, and I learned back in the day when you transcribed whatever came up next on the "tape". Personally, I cannot work for just a "per line rate", therefore, I only do "line rate" on a part-time basis, and work full-time at a local hospital.
Shelly
That is why she has been so rude to me, this Shelly girl. Defending Terri and acting like an immature brat. I figured she could not really be an MT/Editor because of her personality type and just in what she was writing. Most MT/Editors are much much more mature. Thanks for the info.
Is this Shelly H.? That is not helpful
Shelly, you crack me up. You stated before you
cannot make enough money working for a service so you work full time at a local facility and part time for Transcend. If these programs were so wonderful, you should be able to make wonderful money on them so you would not need 2 jobs.
RE: Shelly, you crack me up. You stated before you
I prefer to work outside of the home. For me, interaction with real people is more important, that is why I work two jobs, and my part-time job is just that, part-time.
Shelly, you work part-time. You don't have to
person who works on it hours every single day. Maybe you were one of the lucky ones who happened to get a glitch-free download, but I don't see how as the glitches are program-wide. When I worked for Transcend I had nothing but problems with this program to the point that I quit working there. I got tired of tearing my hair out every day dealing with all the technical problems and poor voice quality.
BeyondTxt
I don't work for Transcribe but I do work for MDI-FL on the BeyondTxt platform. I love it. Just like working in word with all the bells and whistles. Most of the Transcend work is or will be going to VR and I don't like editing so I am staying with MDI who assures us they will not be going to VR anytime soon. Hope this helps.
I am on BeyondTXT and it is okay...
I do love the company. They are very helpful and everyone has been really nice. Each person is different though, and I have seen good and bad about most companies on here. I have been with Transcend about two years and my experience has been a good one.
MDI-FL/BeyondTXT
BeyondTXT is not as productive as we were promised. My line counts have decreased and, of course, so has my income. It's not making me as happy as I was before the new software was instituted. Hope that helps to answer your question.
BeyondTXT
I am QA at Transcend, but on the ExText platform. I thought that nothing could beat ExText, but I was trained on the BT platform last week so that I can help out when my own work is low. BT was amazing--I was really impressed with the resources it provided to MTs. If I ever went back to full-time MT, I would definitely ask to transfer to that side of the company.
Sorry that I can't really provide a comparison of eScription, but I just wanted to chime in as someone who was completely loyal to a different platform. I've worked with other platforms developed by companies and have never been very impressed--usually they are cumbersome and aren't really user-friendly or productive for the MT. However, I think that BeyondTxt is all of that. :)
Good luck, whichever you choose!
I actually liked BeyondTXT....
I worked there about a year ago. I quit b/c they got really strict with their schedules and thats not I signed up for. However, right when I quit I met someone who just started working for them, on a different account from mine and with a different supervisor, and she said that the schedules weren't strict at all for her.
All in all, I had a good experience with Transcend and I would go back if a strict, tight schedule was okay for me.
Beyondtxt
I work soley on radiology but do use beyondtxt to get voice. I LOVE IT! You see all the work available unlike the Lanier and DVI box. You don't have to use your home phone line. Everything is over the internet.
Sorry, I can't give you any other information on the typing platform with beyondtxt. I have seen it and it does look like a pretty nice platform to work on.
And out of 3 different VR platforms, their BeyondTxt
Bad sound quality, way too many problems.
MDI-FL BeyondTxt is the same thing as
nm
Any info on BeyondTXT
Considering working for service that uses BeyondTXT. Any +/- info on its merits, ease of use, etc? Can MT work directly in own MSWord retaining use of expanders and such? Thanks for any feedback.
Best expander for BeyondTXT
I know this comes with ShortCuts which seems okay but has anyone found another you think is a better fit? TIA.
I work on Aim and BeyondTxt and have so much to
do that I could stay busy 24/7 if my bod would hold up. I appreciate a slow down occasionally, but not happening this week.
My advice to you -- learn the various platforms and be willing to switch accounts, etc. You will never run out of work.
Help I need answers on BeyondTXT
Can someone please tell me if you can get decent lines using the VR portion of BeyondTXT. I am being offered 4.5 cents. I have never done VR before. How does it compare to say 300 lph of straight typing? I just want to make sure I am making similar income to what I have always made. I got the hospital calling me soon and I am so confused!!!
Extext and Beyondtxt are not the same
Most of Transcend work is on BeyondTxt and it has its problems.
Why not give BeyondTXT a try
I've been on it and it's not that bad once you get the hang of it. I believe most of the work is on BT and I'm usually swamped with work. Why bash something based on what a few unhappy people have posted? 
They downloaded BeyondTxt
for me to use, and it was not compatible with MS word.
Transcend/BeyondTXT? sm
I have read in the archives where they were saying this platform was not user friendly and they had a hard time making money. Have things changed concerning the BeyondTXT program? Does anybody have anything good to say about it now? Thanks for the info.
Beyondtxt info?...sm
I'm about to try the Beyondtxt platform, can anyone give some good info about it currently besides the one above? I've been working on editscript and I hate it, hoping Beyondtxt will be much better. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone can provide:)
Nervous about BeyondTXT
We are getting ready to go to BeyondTXT and I am really concerned about what I have seen with the program not showing cc's, doctor signatures, patient names. It tells me that clicking and researching this stuff we will not be paid for any of it. Also, I am thinking when it goes to VR there will be too much editing since I do not think the program will know the difference between here and hear, and their and there, etc. It also looks like we will be fixing where the headings and info goes, not to mention all the clicking here, there and everywhere. Since it is not in word I will have to start the word Expanders again I suppose. I hope I am wrong since I have not started using it yet, but am very nervous. I hear you when you say you are worried about losing your benefits as I am in the same boat.
Is there anyone out there that can say they just LOVE BeyondTXT? nm
Thanks for any opinions out there!
I am sorry to hear you will be using BeyondTXT. sm
One of the things I hate about it is you have to do a spell check after each report; no red line to clue you in to words that are not spelled right. There are just too many things to slow you down about this program in my opinion.
Anyone working on BeyondTXT with MDI-FL? Would like to hear from you
How do you like your accounts, are you running out of work or is there plenty. Do you like the BeyondTXT as a transcription platform, etc.
Anyone else find BeyondTxt awful to
use? I have used other programs that are simple to use but this one is the worst nightmare I have ever seen. How do you make any money working on it? Also, the training and the support is almost nonexistant.
BeyondTxt versus eScription
Has anyone worked on both of these platforms who could give me some feedback on how they compare. Is one better than the other for sound quality? Is all of the patient information pretty much there for you? Do you find it easier to get lines with one over the other and why? Any info/opinions will be appreciated.
Has BeyondTXT improved over the years? sm
Just wondering since it will be new to me. Thanks!
Am wondering how the VR in BeyondTXT is working out? sm
I am just curious if I will be able to make money and do well with the VR in BeyondTXT, and was wondering how others are doing with it.
Thank You! 
Thought it was just me having problems with BeyondTXT sm
I was hopeful when our accounts switched over to BeyondTXT since they said how great it was. I was not able to keep my benefits because I could not make the quota needed to keep them. I thought maybe if I was one who gave up the quality and just rushed through the reports for production sake maybe I could keep my benefits, but realized I could not send a document through unless I know I gave it my best shot to fix all the mistakes VR makes on them. I am starting to think BeyondTXT is actually designed to slow you down, unless of course you are willing to rush through the reports and send them with some errors.
I am wondering which is better Chartscript or Beyondtxt? Thank You! nm
TIA! nm
Could someone maybe elaborate on why they are
nm
Please elaborate...
