Not the least bit worried. We enjoy a fair comment privilege to state our opinions, and we can make assertions and tell our experiences. They have no leg to stand on. I think their threats to initiate *slander suits* is hilarious, and ironic since MTs are the ones being acused of being sue-happy. If any of you transcription companies are monitoring this message right now, take this: You're a pathetic, crooked company, you cheat your MTs and your clients. Now try to find me!

trans companies watching
Funny story - several companies watch this board and feel they can use the information posted as a slander suit against those doing the posting. Funny thing is, all posting would have to be proven inaccurate and if they are not the companies spoken about, then why would they worry if it were them. If it is them, then they would also have to prove it was not true. Be careful posting, there are several who monitor and act as if they are one of you. As you all know the signon information, including what some feel are initials are usually an acronym or petname. You could be mistaken for someone else.
Most should probably spend their time making sure they keep their nose clean and their people happy. Not only do they drive us crazy in our professional lives, they have nothing better to do then to reach into our personal lives as well.
Bye Bye Birdie. Could you email me too. I've been watching the board and interested in your findi
since I also have been on the job search from you know where. I would be interested in any information you would want to share.
watching everything they do

You know what - I've been watching
FN posts now for a while - and I experienced nearly the same things myself years ago - the no work, the no answers to emails, the cherry pickers, the lousy QA and am watching someone else now who is being treated very well and makes me kind of wonder if they don't overhire and then kind of weed us out and see who will take what, etc. I'm going to have to watch this other situation and see what develops... interesting!!
Then we best be watching our backs
and socialism has really been around longer than we think because I was let go from a job in the year in approximately 1962 because of an abortion. That is right. Worked at a children's hospital that was affliated with a bigger hospital, went to the bigger hospital and was fired from the other. So I guess socialism is nothing new, right?
What is odd here is watching the MTers
busting a gasket because of their inability to work at VR. Anyone who cannot make money doing it usually say it is for slow transcriptionists when they know they are the ones who just cannot catch on on how to make a buck from it. All the companies are headed that way. I read people say I can transcribe over 2000 a day and then they say I cannot even do $100 a day with voice. I see everyone going elsewhere, going to work at McDonald's, going to have to pay them what they make at straight, aint gonna happen. I have 25 years and tired of working my fingers off, want to do the easy way now with voice.
Guess I better start watching for it. sm
I sent in my papers last Friday.
I have been watching this KS bashing and hope that it never happens to sm
my company. You are horrible, bitter, miserable people who seem to have nothing better to do than throw in 2 cents that mean nothing. I am apalled at the childish behavior of adults and profassionals.
Long distance? All of my 32 of my employees have to provide unlimited long distance or be local to Atlanta. They all have either cable digital or Southern Bell and no one complains as it is not very expensive and does not really add to their regular phone bills.
If you want more than 0.06 per line, you have to be willing to give and take too. MTSOs are here to make money too and I think you would be very surprised to see that we do not make as much as you think, maybe even less than some MTs.
I'm going to start watching this more closely also. (sm)
Do you think the lag will get worse as new accounts are added?
I've been watching for years now - sm
I'd say you are correct. Lots of companies I've never heard of and most of them seem to be IC. You never see any of the big MT companies on here anymore it seems.
I personally would never take a chance on an IC job unless I knew someone who was already working there and actually getting paid.
yeah, they are watching and people take the bait

Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Svcs?
Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for? Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa? Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
You take the Geritol and start typing, Missy. Big brother is watching! They
Can't put up with that kind of bull from my employer!
The hospital I work just contracted to send our overflow to MDI. I've been watching as our SM
minutes slowly dwindle. Last meeting we had, we voiced our concerns about losing our work and Transcend/MDI outsourcing overseas, only to be told that administration is happy that TAT is being met and so they are going to continue to send work to MDI on a daily basis and we don't believe they are sending OUR work overseas.
My hospital is a prime account to be sent overseas, a medium-sized community hospital, three (count 'em, three) ESL who aren't hard to do at all with the resting being very good, very American dictators, easy to understand. No way would a service give this account to an American MT who could stand to make a good pay check doing this account.
I think the next step is to get rid of us all and send everything out. If that happens, that's it for me, I'm getting out of transcription all together. I know I definitely won't go to MDI for a job, like they would put me on this account where I could pull in 2000+ lines a day.
I've worked too hard all these years to be treated like my knowledge, skills, and education doesn't matter and to be paid peanuts for these skills I have worked hard to acquire, improve, and maintain.
I'm just really bummed today. My job future isn't looking too good right now. I hope I'm wrong. 
I was told by several actual Indiam MTs that they were trained by watching ER episodes and typing SM
as the show was aired. They were rated on their speed, not accuracy! He said that when he did start working, the actual reports were to be edited in the US, so accuracy did not matter. I found this shocking, although the best line rate there at the time was 2-3 cpl. His accounts that he was assigned in India were for many US VA hospitals He has since come to the US and works online for a major company, last time I spoke with him, he was getting 11 cpl. He must have been trained with one of the more complicated episodes of ER...LOL BTW, I did tell him that he should be an entertainment industry MT, he would probably make more money...
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#

Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

SC Trans
Has anyone worked for or heard of SC Trans? Thank you!
CC Trans
I had ben contacted several times to work, then nothing, then once they contacted me and I was unable to that day, so nothing. Now I got another call asking if I could - said yes, and guess what - nothing. Maybe they forgot who they are contacting?

Work is easy/normal, but platform is slow with entering a lot of demographics. Pay is regular at 8 cpl. Staff really easy to work with. Have you applied yet?
Med Trans, Inc.
Has anyone heard of this company? You pay $4xx.xx to take the course, and are then hired by them to work for them. They are a member of the BBB, and have very few complaints. Just can't find anything else on them.
TRANS-PLUS
Does anyone know the new name of Transcriptions Plus? It is or was located in southern California. I believe it has been renamed tho. Does anyone know the name? Thank you. Dee

We have filled the position for radiology transcriptionist. Thanks to all who sent resumes to LMT Trans. We still have an opportunity for psych transcriptionists. Please feel free to send your resume to LMTTRANS@aol.com, attention: Sarah.
Med Trans, Inc
Does anyone know any information on this company as far as work, pay, etc.?
ANP Trans
I was wondering about them. I just started doing some research on them tonight and have read some pretty decent comments about them -- until now. The rate sounds very low; however, if you break it down you get -- 0.0051 per word comes to about 82 cents per minute of dictation or 8 cents per line (65 characters). When you look at it that way, it doesn't seem so bad anymore. Pretty much right up there with every other company. Thnx for the info about late checks.
Is this CC trans?
no, I'm not an MTSO if that's what you're asking
CC trans
I've been doing the same thing. I'm still waiting for the fees for wire transfers and for the bounced check I had because of her bounced check to be deposited in my account. In the meantime, I need a job.
Med Trans Inc.
Does anyone have any information about this company? I already did the archive search and found very, very little. (So, please don't tell me to do that ;) )
Thanks in advance for any information!
Med Trans
Run away from J. at MedTrans of America. She will not pay you. I am going to the Labor Board. She has only voice mail and now does not answer my e-mails. She says she does not pay for spaces. Thank the Lord I only worked for her briefly. Keep away.

Can anyone tell me of any experience they have had with this co?? Thx
Trans Sollutions in TX?
What are you doing for them? Are they located in Texas? If so, then I worked for them. What can I tell you?
New England Med Trans
I worked for them back in 2000 and 2001 for 8 cpl hosp and 7 cpl clinic. They direct deposit pay and are reliable and on time with pay. Only problem I had was that pay never would go up higher than that but don't know about now. No set hours which is good but 24 hour turnaround time. I actually know the owner from living in that area in the past and they are a trustworthy company just not high paying unless they have changed. I would be interested if you get a job with them how they are now to work with. Anything else I can answer just ask.
Med Trans of America
Can anyone tell me anything about Med Trans of America? Have they always had payroll problems?
Anyone work for LMT TRANS?
I am going to be starting with them today and I was just wondering what anyone can tell me about their experiences with LMT TRANS? I had to leave my other company because started sending work overseas and left me with next to nothing to type or QA. I am hoping that this company can keep me busy.
Out of where? Heard of LM but not LMT trans?

No, read my name GA trans......SM
I'm not defending her as she sounds quite immature and unprofessional, have never worked for her and had never even heard of her until this post, but I can understand plain English when I read it.
trans company
Because the company I worked for did a very bad thing and think they can get away with it by placing balme on others away from the facts at hand. And if they sign up here as a trans they can copy and paste the information - how do I know, because when I worked there they did it frequently.
I learned alot from the inside about trans companies - they need us, but at same time abuse their power over the work they assign. They think because we work for them, we arent as smart as them.
trans and typing
Back up plans are good. A smart employer and as IC we are our own employer, you must always have a backup. I understand your intentions fully, and hope you contiue to do well with whomever you contract with presently or in the future. Those questions should be asked, in one way or another to know who you work for. keep in mind you are not in the office so you only know what you are told or what you ask. maybe others here have other questions that could be asked too - If they have nothing to hide, the answers should come easily. You could always search for complaints to the Employee benefits division of the US Dept. Of labor, watch the news - I am sure there will be something eventually and read the papers, online or otherwise to find out some information on the company you work for. Even the Better Business Bureau could be helpful. Many other trans forums are out there to review. Even some myspace locations to review for some interesting information. again good luck, hope your company is a good one. There are several in PA as in any other state as well.
Trans company
There are many posts here that have a bit more detail, and the usual going back and forth, seemingly harmless could be with someone you actually work for. It would be difficult to prove yes, but the attitudes towards others could get caught in themiddle with their employer thinking that your username is actually someone else. Just a heads up that the trans companies out there are not all as niave about these sites - instead of treating us right, they would rather watch here for anything said about them. You may not give details and good for you - but others may need to keep in mind that they do watch the sites.
