Transtech Cheerleaders

Hey, where are all the TT cheerleaders/managers that offered such glowing reports of what a wonderful place this is and how great management is? Haven’t heard from them in a while.
Perhaps they are busy training all the newbies to work for 4.5/cpl on VR. Since they sent the email pretty much forcing people to learn VR, many have left, including myself. I did give the VR a try though, it was just as much work as typing the whole from scratch, and at times the report did need to be retyped. Something about that really bothered me, didn’t really like doing the same work for half the pay. They stated to me many times that eventually you can double your lines on VR and make up the difference in line rate. Maybe some can, I couldn’t after a fair trial. There was no way for me to look at this except as a cut in pay. They state that the clients are requiring VR more and more. Why is there option?
MT Week pretty much summed up TT’s real take on their MT staff. The MTs got an email a week after the event praising them and giving appreciation, nothing from upper management. A gift? Not necessary, but an acknowledgement of the meaning of the week and a thanks from the upper management would have been nice……..honey, sweetie, darlin, puddin pie didn’t pay the bills. I am so sad this company went this route, I really thought they were different. I am so glad I’m outta there.

One request, please -- all you Transtech cheerleaders go to your Yahoo board
Why are you showing up here tonight. GO where you belong!
Most of the positive posts about TT and VR are mgmt posts; they always do this, but you other cheerleaders/favorites, go to your new Yahoo Board and leave us along who don't want to work for LESS MONEY.
By the way, I have done VR with TT and HORRIBLE. I can't make even close to the money I can with normal transcription.
VR is more money in the pockets of TT execs. Not in the MT's wallets.
Wonder where the cheerleaders went??
 
A lot of the cheerleaders here
are management.
These two are always one another's cheerleaders
Trying to make anyone under the age of 60 feel as if we're inferior on some level.
Geez, I hope if I get that bad at that age that I retire and ENJOY life instead of belittling others.
I believe she was asking for TT MT cheerleaders...
Not TT MANAGEMENT!
Go back to counting your money. Thank you.
Me for one. I'm one of their biggest cheerleaders. (sm)
  I have worked for some doozies, let me tell ya.
To WMX cheerleaders who are telling us
to stop whining because we haven't tried the new platform yet. I have been using the platform for a year. I just got done doing a report that STILL required extensive editing, and lucky me, I am going to be paid even less! After a year, I repeat, a year, this wonderful magical ISR is still making the same errors that I have to correct over and over and over and over, day after day. I certainly do not see where that is productive. For example, it puts 5 to 0 nylon for 5-0 nylon. How many times should you have to correct that for it to finally learn? I have made that correction hundreds of times, and it still doesn't get it. It leaves out whole chunks of sentences and doesn't even get words that are perfectly clear. Some reports turn out good, some are complete garbage. My production has increased a little, but no where near what they claimed.
So stop telling me to calm down and give it a chance. I have given it a chance. I will be very interested in what you think of it after you have used it for awhile.
At least the Enterprise people have some glimmer of hope that maybe it won't be a cut in pay for you, but for me, it was most definitely a cut in pay.
To the MedWare cheerleaders up to this point-and
you know who you are, what do you think of the happenings of the last couple of days. I believe the one person I am thinking of was an MT (not lead), but would like to know how it makes you feel knowing that you have supported them this far. Please share your feelings with the rest of us. I know it may be difficult and it would be nice to find out if you feel it is something that might not affect you OTOH. This is not a mean-spirited question and hopefully you will not think it is, but has your opinion changed in the last day with all this going on?
Don't these cheerleaders make you ill with their rah, rah, rahs?

Some of you TT VR cheerleaders say one cannot tell the difference in a VR report and other
traditional transcribed report -- WRONG -- just notice when you are pulling up another report to view -- DEFINITELY CAN TELL VR report -- errors throughout the report -- DOES NOT FOLLOW accounts specifics format. Why have A/S if VR does not have to follow the A/S requirements?
No way to double your pay doing VR reports, but I like to see a quality report that follows the A/S guidelines and return a report to the facility that what looks like what a medical record should look like for patient care and for meeting the specifics that the facility has asked for in their reports. VR reports definitely FAR from that! Look for yourself if you do not believe me.
I don't generally label cheerleaders as Management, but that has to be one. NM

Well I don't work for Transtech and this discussion isn't about Transtech...
and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
TransTech
TransTech has a job posting on the job board. I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie). She is really a nice lady. They have a M-F schedule listed.
TRANSTECH
Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions?
TIA 
TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made. The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them. If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too. Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful. The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work. The "owner" is NOT moody. The people are the finest in the industry. They value their MTs. The are awesome to work with and for.

I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me. I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them). I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate. I always have work (an abundance of it!!). TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy. They have a very good QA team who are very helpful. They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring. TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer. Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website: http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html Good luck in your job search.
TransTech
They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs. What is the story?
transtech
Yes, I was offered even more money from a smaller company, not national.
TransTech
Anyone have any info on TransTech. I have an interview today.
TransTech
might you be an ex-MacGregor gal? if you are, me too.
Does Transtech pay for ???

Transtech
Does Transtech pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
TransTech
Give Transtech a try. I worked for MQ about 9 years ago only because they bought out a company I worked for. I only stayed with MQ a very short time after the buy-out. I now work for TransTech and they are a great company. You can contact them through their website at:

If Transtech pays 10 cpl for their difficult ESL account, does anyone know what the starting pay for the other accounts would be? TIA.
TransTech - sm
Do you know if they have radiology accounts? TIA
TransTech
I have checked the archives regarding this company but there is nothing up-to-date on there. I would like to know how this company is to work for, how their platform is, and overall if it is a good company to work for. Do they pay for spaces? What is their average starting cpl? TIA
transtech
i applied for them. i have five years experience and work at home. they told me i did not have enough experience
TransTech
I have been with TT for over 1-1/2 years and love it. Great bosses, good pay (always on time), good benefits, and I have always had work. It works for me !!

Do they have radiology accounts? TIA

Do you have a website for them? Couldn't find anything on google. Thanks.

Poster below said mucho ESLs.
TransTech
TransTech Medical Solutions (in Texas) does not offshore. It is a US company with US transcriptionists.
Transtech
Ask yourself this, what is wrong with companies who advertise constantly, are people always leaving or do they hire too many people? You can usually answer your own question.
TransTech
You'll hear positives and negatives on any company depending on individual expectations and experiences. As for myself, TT is about as close to a perfect company as one can find these days. Can't speak about insurance costs, I don't have the insurance. I've posted before about my experience with TT and don't want to bother doing it again. About all I can tell you is nothing ventured, nothing gained.
TransTech
The reason I said I didn't want to post my experience with TT again is I am totally disgusted with people like the poster above who says, baby, baby, sounds like management again. What?! Is there some law these days that says an MT can't be happy with the company he/she works for? So here goes.....First and foremost, I wouldn't know management if they jumped up and bit me in the butt. Don't know who owns the company, don't care. Don't know how many employees they have, don't care. Don't know what their accounts are other than those that directly affect me, don't care. Now from the above, you can conclude that I rarely hear from management unless I have a problem, then they respond promptly. The work is just that...it's work; there's good and there's not so good but it's there and I work as much as I want. The pay may not be the absolute best but it's fair and I average $25-$30/hour so no complaints there. The pay is always correct and direct deposited on time. Tech support is the best I've ever worked with. The platform is easy to learn and easy to use, no going between multiple screens or otherwise wasting time.
Now, Baby, Baby (above poster) if you have management questions, you should probably consider addressing them to TT management. If you have questions from an MTs point of view, you can ask me.
TransTech
I'm PT and speaking only from my own experience, they've bent way over backward to accommodate me. They have allowed me to be very flexible and given me just about anything I've asked for. By the same token, it's a 2 way street and when the need arises I do whatever they ask of me, whenever they ask it, to keep them in TAT. I wouldn't want to say for sure because I don't know but I would imagine they would accept PT and/or a split shift. I wish you luck and all I can say is if they work for you as well as they've worked for me, you'll be one happy camper. In between the *&%^* Company and TT, I think I stopped at just about every national and semi-national in the country before I found a company that suited me.
TransTech
Thank you for replying. Some lady posted that they took out $458.00 from her check, I thought she meant because of ExText. She was saying with ExText, you lose 30% of your line count?
Do you work for Transtech and what does DQS mean. Again, I had sent out a post on TransTech and what to expect if I went to work for them.
TransTech
Thinking of changing to TransTech. Does anyone know if their line rate is compatible and/or if they pay spaces, headers, and footers?
TIA!

I, too, just started with TransTech. What IS the policy for their line count. I don't think I can make 11,000 lines either. The only time I made line counts like that was when I worked for a hospital in Sacramento, CA, in the ER Department. I kid you not, I cannot remember ONE BAD DICTATOR. They talked a lot, were VERY CLEAR, each dictator had their way of dictating which did not take long to catch on to, etc. But my company lost the account. Why are ops the best report to do? Plus with the small font size and a LOT of numbering things at the left margin, I would hope they are not using the 65 character protocol. I could find the answer as I have the papers here somewhere, but it would take longer to find them than if someone already knows how TransTech's line counts work. So far, the dictators haven't been that good OR clear, the font is so small I have to zoom to 150% while I'm typing and then remember to take it back down to 100% when I sign off the job. Plus do you have to start from scratch with the loaded word expander, or is there some place that some shortcuts are already listed. With Smartype, a lot of shortcuts were already loaded. dd stood for adding ed to the end of a word, e stood for examination as that is the most common word used that starts with an e, etc. But I can't use Smartype. To buy an MS Word compatible Smartype, it will cost me $195.00, which is $195.00 that I don't have. I REALLY hope someone will answer me as I just started and would prefer hearing the bad news first.
TransTech
They are pretty darn AWESOME. What do you need to know.
TransTech
Is Transtech located in Houston, TX?

Sorry, this WAS with TransTech. nm
