Personally, DSG is a good fit for me. Pay is good and on time, sound quality depends on the account
and I like the platform. There is not much weekend work, although sometimes is available. I get along well with the management, no major complaints. There is pay incentive once you get over a certain number of lines in a pay period. I work as an IC, so can't help with benefits, insurance questions, etc.
DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
Wow, that does sound like a good platform...
Maybe I should apply with your company. I need an efficient platform with hot keys and easy access. That sounds great!
What happened there? Did they can a few of the QA? You sound like one of the good ones. nm

Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
They do sound like a good company (sm)
and as long as they have people who volunteer to work holidays, they won't have to make rules about it.
sure does not sound like a good move if you are not getting sm
the work types you like and are good at. Sorry to hear you are not happy.
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

The sound files are usually quite good, actually.
Of course, every once in a while you get a bad quality report.
Medquist is starting to sound really GOOD!
I work for a national where the platform's been down more than up for the last few months, and they don't pay a penny for downtime.
Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM

Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm
xx
sound likes a good idea
and I do not believe it is just one MT...surely the company has at least a couple skilled MTs. TAT is the name of the game and is what keeps every one having work.
Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg
It sounds as if the owner loses her cool! Not good! Thanks!
Why don't these companies realize that good sound quality is
essential for transcribing. If the big bosses had to listen to the scratches and static for hours on end, day after day, maybe this wouldn't happen, but most of them don't even know what a foot pedal and headset are. I find that the sound quality from the internet files are far worse than anything I ever encountered on DVI, C-phone, or Lanier systems telephone systems.
Only good thing I have heard lately is that a friend of mine, also an MT recently filed for disability based on hearing loss and/or inability to hear the files that she was required to do and won the case for total disability. She does have some hearing loss, but when she took her computer to the hearing and dialed in and had the adjudicator listen, there was no question that she would never be able to continue in this line of work. Maybe a few more workman comp cases would wake them up.
I'm so sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound good. I hope you

Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Pay 8 cpl, use MTWorld software, sound quality supposedly not good. nm
v
If you say anything good about this company, the trolls want to knock you down,but..Sound is fine
nm
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
I meant to say rerecord does not sound good on DQS. Very hard to understand even when
doctors dictate into a recorder and put in on the system.
Yeah, but the sound quality is horrible on all accounts. Good luck with that!

Good sound quality, fair line counting, pay always on time.
nn
A contact says she likes it, sound is good, but you have to use autocorrect/text, no other expander
s
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm
s
How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm

Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma
services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational. ALL software has its share of problems. It's the nature of the business. When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO? If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement? Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?
My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete. It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.
All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions. If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it. If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on. However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt. While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.
Good Luck!

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

VSM....hum...I like the sound of that. mm
Reminds me of the zoom zoom zoom commercial.....VSM.......when I am feeling cranky I will put VSM on my messages and confuse everyone! Can't help it. I have been feeling like a stinker lately and need some goofy fun!
Maybe I will write a book with all the possibilities such as the ones you created and make it a 'must have' for everyone using these boards if they want the codes to it all! I could be rich!!! Hah! A writer/creator/inventor of gibber gabber! Can I have the rights to yours?
You sound like
the perfect whack job they're looking for!
You sound
just like the owner herself. Just maybe this owner is everything everyone has made her out to be.
You sound like you are right...
Have you found another job? I am in the same boat...thinking about switching. I have MANY years experience and QA has been on to me like you would not believe! I leave an occasional blank but our QA team is rude and I think they get a thrill out of turning things over to our supervisor. Kinda childish the way they act!
I would love to find a place that takes years and years of experience into consideration with the pay. And would love to find a place that offers some types of benefits...But most of all I would love to find a place that is respectful to their employees and know that the Transcriptionist is REALLY a VITAL part of their success....Is that too much to ask?
Wow...they sound like they are the best
They sound like a dream company! Now I REALLY can't wait to start. I am so fed up with my current company (SPI), so I decided to go with Keystrokes as everything I have read on here has been so great. They even let me choose my own shift and hours! The big selling point for me was that they do not offshore at all!
That does not really sound so bad
Some days, I get nothing but VR with zero standard transcription. So long as the MT world is going in the VR direction, you might as well jump in and get your feet wet and give it a shot. Once you get used to it, it is really not that bad. Of course, this is just my opinion. Good luck to you in whatever you decide.
You sound just like...
Redpen.
How is the sound on DQS? sm.
A former employer used DQS and I did not stay with them long. The sound was really bad and it just wasn't worth it to keep the job. I thought it was the company as I've heard complaints about the company and their sound quality before. Now, doing a search on DocQScribe I am seeing other complaints about sound quality, but no other companies mentioned. Now I am wondering if it is the DQS platform or the account I was on. So, for those of you who work on DQS, is the whole platform horrible with audio or is it on an account basis?
It does sound like you are better off
staying with your current company. I just really feel for those who are very experienced and depend upon MT full-time to pay the bills. I've done MT for 22+ years and like you and other seasoned MTs, have progressively watched my pay go down to the point where I had no choice but to get out of the industry.
With the economy the way it is, I could use the extra income from a PT MT job and also want to keep my skills up (though I really don't know why at 6-7 cpl - lol).
does not sound right either hmm
.
You sound just like me :(
I cried all last week because I was just so frustrated. You feel helpless. I don't even know what to do about it. I don't want to find another job because I like my co-workers, and I like the company as a whole, but their expectations are making it a real tough place to work otherwise. I wish I could give you some suggestions, but I don't know what to do either.
I hope things get better for you.
You sound
You sound like someone jealous of this person's transcription capabilities. Who are you to judge if she was worth her pay or not. AT certainly felt she was or else they would not have given her hourly so long as she states. With judgemental, mean people like you working for that company, I know I certainly never would even consider applying there! Good luck Leary and hope you find a pleasant workplace.
And you sound like...
The most selfish, heartless, hateful person I have witnessed in a long time. Shame on you! 
THAT MQ office does sound bad!
Keep in mind, they are not all the same. In 7 years of working for them, I've never had an experience remotely like that. My immediate supervisor will respond to my emails within the hour and my regional manager will respond at least the same day, usually within a couple of hours. I have never not received a pay check on time. I don't doubt she is telling the truth, but she got a bad apple. Doesn't mean they're all that way!
OMG. Did you really sound that out loud? nm
nm
This may sound stupid but..
when a company asks for basic 4 knowledge, what do they mean?
You sound wonderful
Or at least give me a chance to test with you?
I have to chuckle, you sound just sm
like that commercial with the guy having it all with his country club, pool, etc, and says just the same exact thing you did. I'm not laughing at you, believe me, I am laughing with you. I do feel for you. Been there done that more than once, in debt up to my eyeballs. Yes, I do think at times the schools tend to pump you up with $$$ signs and it really isn't fair to the student to be given amounts that high. I only make around that myself, probably less, working for a national. Lucky for me, I have a husband who does very well. Not everyone has that advantage. Could you possibly pick up a local account to work on the side to help with your finances? It could lead to something better. Just a thought. Take care and good luck.
Hey, you sound like me last week.
I know all about the working multiple jobs thing, too. I was doing the work of three workers at my last fulltime job before doing MT. And people wonder why I walked away from a good job. I had to be on Ambien just to sleep at night due to stress.
It's not fair, but it's not worth it to let it consume you. I am serious here. I am job hunting again this week because my company is messing with me, too. They gave my easy account to the newbies and stuck me on the crap. I'm just kind of waiting around to see what they're giving out for Christmas this year. As soon as I find a new job, I'm done. They are not worth it. They can mess with other people but not with me. I'm also going to see if I can find my own local accounts. I made up a database yesterday of potential clients.
Now quit talking that K-word stuff because you can't do that. {{{{hugs}}}} You're too good for them.
Sound quality
The sound is great. That has been resolved and it was not the system but the phone lines from the facilities. No need for technical support, but I have never had any problems reaching someone and had an immediate response.
But.... you sound like the lucky ones. What's the saying??
Thank goodness for unanswered prayers or something like that..
You sound like management to me
I realize all companies have issues. I have been very satisfied with them until recently (been there nearly 2 years). All we are saying is we want them to supply enough to work to allow us to meet the line requirement set in place by THEM. I have not seen a single e-mail in their endless stream of account updates letting us know it would be taken into consideration the lack of work recently when the end of the pay period rolls around and we do not have enough lines. My issue is plain and simple - I signed up to work and want to do it.
sound like management
this is an old ploy by MQ BUT they guarantee work... lol
if you need insurance you must fulfill their requirements but if you sit idle because of NO WORK then you suffer financially and insurance wise....
