Spheris sends most work to India. SM
They are most certainly NOT a company to work for, if you are a single mom.
Absolutely, sends work to India, Phillipines...sm
She's something alright, sending work offshore instead of paying someone in the US a workable wage. Name of company is Another Medical Must...owned by Renee Lella....look her up on Google and see how that's worked for her in the past, with a major leak of patient records due to dealing with the Indian company and their MTs. She trains her MTs most of the time using her cell phone in the car while doing errands or picking up kids...horrible. Bad, bad experience, never again. She looks at this board occasionally and still posts for job openings once in a while, but always under an alias or different name, sometimes maria...sometimes another name. Shifty.
And you're okay with working for a company that sends most of its work to India and
whose workforce is predominantly Indian? You're okay with the loss of American jobs, the falling recession we are in and the falling economy due in big part to the offshoring of American jobs? How okay will you be when you lose your job to an Indian and you have to apply for food stamps and unemployment?
Sell-out MTs like you are the reason good MTs cannot make a decent wage anymore, why good MTs cannot find a good job anymore, and why sweats shops in third world countries are thriving. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Focus Infomatics employs 800 American MTs and over 3000 Indian MTs. Tech support is in India. The company itself is still run by the same Indian man who started the company and sold out to Nuance. He made a bundle when he sold and he is still making a bundle running the company while he pays his own countrymen and woman peanuts! He's selling out his own people and you are selling out yours! On second thought, I guess you belong at Focus with your own kind!
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

Another one, Interpro, sends a lot of theirs to India
as well as other locations outside the US
Transcend most certainly does send work to India.
And they are proud to have these partners
They lose as many as they get. This would be good for US-based companies BUT it leaves
a bad taste in the mouths of all involved, which can make them hesitate to try another company. Lose/lose for everyone IMO.
Merry Christmas to you too! I think it is great that Transcend sends out gift cards to employees.
I wonder how many other companies do that. Let's see, with over 1000 transcriptionists that is 25,000.
Again, thank you Transcend!
Transcend pays 3 cents per line on holidays, plus sends a handwritten card to all
employees. I have worked for many companies and I have never seen a company that cares as much as Transcend.
E-mail me if you'd like more information.
good, let them do all the India work, and take all the hits for law suits...
I wish they would monopolize the India market and totally stick with that...
I also posted an article about this a few weeks back, even with pictures of the offices in India (lot nicer than here).
hope they put all their money into it and then when technology takes all our jobs, they will have nothing.
Medquist, hate it or not, has invested rather in the technology, thereby will be the leaders in that. if I worked there I would train and learn everything I could about working with that technology because that eventually, in my opinion, will drive even Indian MTs into unemployment.
Much good work going to India. Bad work left

Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.
:
Transcend always sends a nice handwritten card and a gift card
I just got my card today, and it is still five days before Christmas.
You really cannot please all the people all of the time, even when it comes to gift giving. I am so surprised at some of these comments.
Merry Christmas to all!
I know, I know Medquist sends work overseas....but there is always work :)

Is Transcend a good company to work for? nm

Looking for work, is Transcend a good choice
to apply to?
Does anyone know the name of a transcription company in Maryland that sends all of its work to
India. Just curious.
Any company who wants to stay in business sends work out
It is called a blended model. Hospitals are demanding a better price and US companies must offer offshore work that is edited by US MTs to compete. It is just like voice recognition, a company must offer this platform or lose the ability to bid on the work. It is not for every hospital and it is not for every situation. Therefore, if a company does not have the ability to offer a lower price with non-domestic labor plus have a voice rec option, they will find themselves unable to compete in tomorrow's marketplace. Those who cannot compete will lose market share and continue to run out of work. Those who can compete will continue to hire MTs and grow market share.
Medware not only sends work offshore, but has offices in Bangalore to train MTs there.nm

Transcend and India
All clues point to it being Focus Infomatics. Focus has not been secretive about the fact that they bounce work back to US companies, at last count it was 9 companies that signed up with them to be US partners (subcontractors). Not surprising that those companies would pay less than if you worked for Focus directly, especially on the third shift.
Does Transcend use India? I know they use a lot of VR
I am totally in the dumps about this. I know nothing technically is set about making us employees, but I'd bet 10 to 1 we will be in January. That's the whole reason I came here in the first place - so I didn't have to punch a time clock.
Good company, NOT in India ..
They do outsource, and the company is NOT in India. The pay was always on time, as well.
Jobs being sent to India - good companies who don't outsource
I've been working for a company for a few years now. This company has started to remove several job types with greater turnaround times to India from our exiting accounts. There was not enough work over the holidays to get in all of my hours (I know work is normally slow then), and this trend is still continuing. We used to have a primary account and a secondary account as a back-up, but now I'm working on at least 5 or 6 accounts just to have enough work to complete my 8-hour shift.
I hated it there, they sent good accts to India (spheris global). nm

Here we go again, if somebody leaves OSi it is alway because
I hate to burst your bubble, but everyone I know who left OSi, left because they needed to make a decent living and are now doing just that!!!
I also know that OSi is in a real pinch right now and are experiencing NO new hires!!! LMAO
Who are you to say who leaves or stays?
.
That only probably leaves 5000 who
didn't e-mail you. A union will NEVER happen.
They usually don't hire anyone back thar leaves before sm
probation period
I have a very important question to ask you. If you have an account you really like and it leaves
the company you are with what is the best way to find out where it went and to go with it. Has anyone had this experience. Did you contact the hospital. What can you do if you have been on an account for years and really want to stay with it. Is that best or to just stay where you are and get another account.
If a person leaves their e-mail addy
in the box their name shows up in blue in the post and you can e-mail them by clicking on that. If there is no blue they did not leave their e-mail addy. In that case you can leave a post with your e-mail addy and ask them to e-mail you, otherwise you can't go e-mail.
I wouldnt even go there. Recruiter leaves a lot to be desired.
Make sure you read the fine print on how you'll be penalized your whole check if the QA in India finds an error in your work. It gets interesting. Now, who do you think it benefits for them to find errors such as punctuation etc..QA based out of India.. things that make you go hmmmm.... The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. There are far better companies out there to work for but best wishes...
Apex platform leaves a lot to be desired
I couldn't make any lines on it. Feel free to email me if you want more details. They do seem to be nice people.
I agree that ExText leaves a lot to be desired...sm
it even seems like there are days it is better than others. How does that work? Shouldn't the same endoscopy report, almost completely canned, always populate the same way?
Ditto that. If my info. leaves the country, I leave the doc. - nm

The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

Now most of the work is done in India.
aa
MQ definitely sends it out.

Yes, MQ definitely sends it out and
my prediction is that one of these days they will send it ALL out. I got out while the getting was good!
They also offer paternity leave and also both leaves for adoption of a child.
I love these people.
To say the work that comes in from India is awful...
... is an understatement. I would pull some of those jobs that had beentranscribed in India and there were some that had entire sections crossed out and retyped because they were wrong (and scary wrong too - wrong medications...). The hospital I used to work for uses them and when I still worked at HealthScribe India was doing this hospitals discharge summaries. I refuse to use that hospital because I know the transcription will be of very poor quality andI refuse to play games with my health and the health of my loves ones.
Work is going to India or some other country. nm
All of CBays work goes to India. nm
:
Most of their work is done in India by Indian MTs. sm
Tell your lead person you need more work and commit to it. They will work with you if you are good with a high accuracy rating.
Good luck - been there, done that, ain't going back ever!
Thank NAFTA for work going to India
AAMT cannot discriminate because of this law (I asked them years ago). I think 50% of new MTs being from India shows their determination and pursuit of excellence; perhaps American MTs need to follow their example and compete! I challenge MTs to be the best they can, and that is at this pont determined by their ability to pass the CMT exam. Go, girls!
Exactly. India work stinks.

You are a fool to think US work won't go to India
Happened to a group of us. We had a US force and India force, and guess what, it was more cost efficient to send ALL work overseas, hence all US employees laid off. You really are naive to think they won't do that someday, but I hope you drain their pockets dry before they do.
What has sending work to India done?
We have upset the economy of India, creating an even larger rift and making the poor even poorer because we have inflated the economy in the cities and of those who have had a chance to be educated. The poor have lost even more footing.
We have lost job opportunities for our own Americans, but the companies continue charge the hospitals the same amount for transciption, however their overhead continues to drop, corporate salaries continue to increase and our rate of pay stays the same or drops.
India is a country that allows very very little importing of anything made in the US, so it is a 1 way deal for them.
The individuals from other companies do not pay taxes, so we continue to pay to support those in our country who have gone on the public roles for aid and assistance.
Wouldn't it be nicer to have some of these people working again?
Yes they do send work to India
I know because they told someone I know who is a facility that they would if they wanted their work sent over there.
go to India and work with those people sm
you support so well.
I wonder why they don't send a lot or all of their work to India? That's where a lot of work&

I *do* work at Precyse and most of the work is going to India
