I have just been offered a position with Transportal but I do not know anything about them. I am not finding much on this board about them either. If anyone can tell me about them I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much

I work for TransPortal...
I am currently working with this company. While I have only been employed with them for about a month, I am very happy so far...good accounts, the platform is Scribe, and QA is very helpful. Hope this helps!

Darn it. They want to give me an account. What is bad about them may I ask??
TransPortal ?
This company is located in North Carolina and I did check archives but could find nothing regarding them. Are they a new company? Anyone with info please fill me in on pros and cons, please. Thank you.
TransPortal
Anyone have any info on them or currently work there?

Did anyone apply and hear back from TransPortal? I was contacted for an interview and never heard back. I was just wondering if anyone else may have had luck with them.
Thanks,
Transportal
Got an email that they liked my resume, would call the next on the phone. Never got the phone call. I called the following day and left a message for the recruiter that I was still interested in talking to her. She called back the next day and told me they had nothing available but would keep my resume on file.
Another total waste of my time.
Transportal in NC
Does anyone actually work for or formerly worked for Transportal who would be willing to give me some information on how they are to work for. I have seen the posts, but nothing concrete, just a message to avoid them but no reasons given. I am looking for an IC job, and they sound promising. If you prefer not to post, just send info to my email.
Transportal
I am working for them now and I really like them.

Are you referring to Transportal? I work for them. They ROCK. :)

I agree with the last post - call and chat with the recruiter. She is very nice and has had this issue going on for awhile. I had a friend who tested (seasoned MT) and failed! She was so devastated, but called and talked to the gal and is now working there. I took the test - knowing the answer to the one question that was messed up, so I ended up passing and now I too work there!!! Guess they should get that little issue figured out!!! Good company though!

You heard???? And you are passing on rumors??? Shame on you. TransPortal is a wonderful company to work for. Not all supervisors assign work late at night and they should not be hassling or sending rude emails. If one is it is an isolated incident and I am sure it has been taken care of. The platform works great if you have enough memory in your computer, people can easily do 1200+ lines per day once they get the hang of it, which does take 2-3 weeks. To work there for 1 week and then spread lies is shameful. You are missing a great work opportunity if you do not check them out.

Transportal has IC status with or without taxes. Excellent company (I think). Full time status is considered 1200 lines minimum.

Hello,
I have a phone interview coming up with TransPortal, and I was wondering if any TransPortal MTs out there could comment on the Scribe platform. Has it gotten any better to deal with? I have read some past posts both here and on the CS forum about it being a pain in the neck. All other info on the company seems to be great aside from the platform. I'm hoping to hear that they have the bugs worked out by now... (especially assuming I have Vista!)
Any info, pros, or cons will be appreciated!
Thanks! 
Any information about TransPortal
I have a phone interview with transportal today and I was wondering if anyone knows of that company or works for them. I would appreciate any information.
Thanks!
How long have you been w/Transportal
Thanks for responding. How long have you been with them? Do they pay by check, direct deposit, or do you have to get a prepaid VISA card?
Thanks again
Transportal info
To save you guys from hoping too much, I was contacted and I was offered 7 cpl with possible 7-1/2 for employee status. Such as slap in the face! 17 years experience and that was all I was offered! Hopefully, that will let you know what they are going to offer you. It is a huge account and sounded awesome but not awesome enough for slave wages.
Has anyone heard from TransPortal? nm

To those working for Transportal or with knowledge, can you email me the address to send my resume? I did look on their website but does not seem to be an address for resumes?
Transportal Question
Does anyone have any information on the benefits that Transportal (in NC) provides its employees? Insurance? Paid vacations? Etc.? Thanks!
Whey do you say to stay away from TransPortal?
Did you work for them or know something about them?
Anybody ever tested recently with Transportal?
I tested with Transportal and on the VERY beginning of the test (you know, the REALLY easy questions) it said I failed and suggested that I go to their partner company Career Step to better my transcription skills and try again. I went back and reviewed and looked up my answers and every single one was right. So, I went and took another test for them and AGAIN it did the same thing. Anybody else every experience this?
transportal is a great company
I have worked for them for about five months now and have had nothing but a GREAT experience with them. I am a seasoned Transcriptionist and have been on many platforms. Scribe is great, not perfect by any means, but it is great. It is fast. It is based in MSWord. No, you may not get paid for demographics, but how hard is it to enter the name and MR# and DOS??? Come on? Some accounts you check the schedule, find the name, and it automatically loads. How tough is that?
If you have any experience in working in Word you can work in Scribe w/o any problem whatsoever. I can EASILY Make my line counts in short order.
Also, regarding line counts, they are there, always have been. Unless you have a job that goes to QA then you have to wait a bit to see that line count come in, but I have never been cheated out of any lines that I can assure you.
The one and ONLY thing I had to complain about was being on QA for a long period of time unnecessarily.
Of all the companies that I have worked for, and trust me I have tried a lot of them, this one by far beats them all. The management staff are awesome, the dictators are awesome, the platform is great. What more can I say.
United, Archivus, Transportal. sm
I did look up prior posts on these companies but did not find the answer to this question. Do any of these companies hire IC? Do these companies base full time on line count or hours if they have employee status?
Thanks for your help. I am trying to narrow down my search. I appreciate it.
Reposting about TransPortal - Please reply
I'm reposting this in hopes that someone will see this and give me updated info on TransPortal. I have tested with them and should hear back from them this week. I've read everything in the archives, but I was hoping for some updated info about their platform. My other post got buried under the MDI and T posts. (Not knocking their posts, by the way, as I feel sorry for what they are dealing with...) 
Anyways, here is what I originally posted a while back...
Hello,
I have a phone interview coming up with TransPortal, and I was wondering if any TransPortal MTs out there could comment on the Scribe platform. Has it gotten any better to deal with?

phone interview with transportal tomorrow.... sm
If anyone has any info before I interview tomorrow, please let me know. My biggest concer is the platform. I can type 1200 lpd with no problems, but every platform I've tried in the past seems to produce nothing but dinking around all day instead of $$$. Hopefully this one will be different. The test doctors sounded great.
Thanks much,
Debbie
Has anyone heard of TransPortal Transcription in North Carolina? (sm)
Any info about steady accounts, benefits, flexible scheduling from anyone who may work there would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Any recent info on TransPortal? I have searched archives
And I haven't really found much. Any recent experience, good or bad, would be great. Thanks!
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

Are you required to work major holdays at KS. I know nature of biz to work them. Thanks for info. nm

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Don't know about radiology work load, but we have been scratching in the dirt for work for a numb
of months now. They hire, lose account, hire again before new accounts comes onboard, then have overhired, having to put new MT's on the current low workload.
Medical field is 24/7 work unless you work for a clinic or stand alone operation.
I just look at the other cool people working holidays and weekends in the ICU, ER, paramedics,and am glad to be there. When you work in a hospital for a length of time, it becomes a necessary evil to show up at the worst possible times.
Having a family or a life you'd miss from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 PM must be hard and
I think that there is a place for you where they can meet your requirements (M-F). There are plenty of those jobs.
They require that you work in house until your have clean QA for 3 paydays then you can work

All nationals I work for you only work 40 hours unless they approve overtime.
