What?!?!? You clearly have NO idea what you are talking about! The "man" who owns TT
Posted By: Current TTer on 2007-04-12
In Reply to: For a little history..... - Ex-Cali MT
does NOT own the building they are working in. He is NOT a real estate investor. He has worked in transcription for years and was with L&H prior to their acquisition by MQ (as was the rest of the office staff). TT absolutely does NOT finagle their line counts. If you know anything about TT, you know that the Dictaphone ExText platform has had trouble for the last couple of months and they have gone out of their way to keep us informed.
You obviously have some sort of personal ax to grind with TT. It is YOU who needs to stop spreading TT misinformation. You need to be very careful about what you post.

I have no idea what you are talking about...
I am not exactly sure what post you are referring to. I also do not have a problem with line count and do around 350 to 400 lines per hour and am happy with Transcend. When I said management views and posts on MTStars, I was not referring to anyone's post and do not know what the heck you are talking about but whatever. You guys really need to get a grip or SOMETHING!!!
I have no idea what you are talking about...
I never said anything about lack of work. 
No idea what I am talking
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!
MIT, IIT, IIM are not places where they teach English or transcription, but high-class IT, engineering and management institutions. First make sure what you are talking about before pasing your comments
IIT-A is toughest place to get in the world!
All you know is better English, nothing else! Stop hurting others and have a open mind!
I have no idea what you are talking about sm
if the report is listened to and the text is matched, it is either correct or incorrect (with the exception of obviously incorrect dictation, which should be flagged anyway). I will say again, if you have no medical terminology/English usage errors and your drugs and other medical items are correct, nobody can pick on you.
I have no idea who they are talking about! Never
expanded out to Transcription Doctors, it rang a bell. I've been in the industry 30 years and never heard of either, so sorry you're not on everyone's #1 radar list. So, especially with an audience of probably hundreds of uninformed MTs like myself, you need to make clear which company you are bashing, lest the one you like gets a bad rep. Common sense, really. Sorry to have to explain it to ya.
I have not idea what you are talking about,..sm
what you are remembering and what you are assuming.
As far as I know, everybody is free to post one's opinion here, as long as it is free of insuling language.
You must be quite 'taken' by this person you have in mind, remembering her personality, from where she is coming, her habits and customs, strikes me kind of weird? Is this sort of an obsession of you?
You have no idea what you're talking about. sm
Most MTSO's do not make a fortune. They barely make the money that they would be paid hourly if you put all the hours together that they do. I was sick of working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. I made good money on paper, about $150,000 a year, but that was working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That is about $23.00 an hour. I make more per hour as an MT and have evenings off, can play with my daughters, can eat hot meals without interruption. I work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day now and love it.
I could've afforded a yacht and a summer home and a lot of other things but I sure wouldn't have had time to use them or enjoy them. I spent too much time chasing MT's who did not do their jobs, had every excuse in the world as to why they did not meet their required lines, and making customers happy. No thank you. MTSO's can keep their wonderful lives. Mine is much better now.
Have no idea what you are talking about justmemt
We are like a family here. I don't know what post you are referring to (that we didn't answer) but you are a little rude yourself, expect the attitude that you send out to return to you. Just a tip from the peanut gallery.
You're right. You have no idea what I'm talking about. Typical. nm

You have no idea what you are talking about. My income tax return says I am making a good living

SPI owns OSI now?
?
I believe Medquist owns
DQS and leases it to other companies and hospitals.
MQ developed and owns DQS.
Maybe Nuance owns them, so they are
x
Mike, can you tell me who owns this company?
Just curious. I used to work for a lady who owned a company in Louisiana many years ago and she had a bad rep re: paying. Last I heard she moved to Arizona.
I don't think MedQuist owns Lanier.
We used Lanier at a small hospital in a very small town before I went to work for MedQuist.
Who owns or operates Diskriter?
I did know, but I forget. Anyone know?
Wonder if the same MTSO still owns that company.....nm
xx
Medscribe owns another company too
I think it may be Southscribe. Does anyone know? I cannot recall the name of the other transcription company they own, but it is definitely in Georgia.
Transcend owns MDI-FL but each is run separately...sm
Hope this helps!
Just guessing but it might be the woman who owns KS??
nm
MQ owns DQS software. They developed it
NM
MedQuist OWNS Diskriter and Lanier...nm

Nuance owns escription and Dictaphone
Are your referring to Dictaphone Extext? Which Nuance system?
That's not true, my friend owns a payday business
and if you borrow $300.00 you pay $45.00 for that loan ending up paying back a total of $345.00. Maybe that was just a very unfortunate situation of your friend.
A friend of mine is a male and owns a transcription company. sm
He has no problem getting accounts and is quite wealthy from it. So, do not let your gender deter you!
His company is RX Transcription in Newtown Square, PA. Give him a call and maybe he can help you.
Full Circle Transcription in Acworth, GA. Does anyone know who owns this company? SM
Please email me if you do. I may like to contact them and would just like to know ahead of time whom I'll be emailing.

The Indian owner also owns a residential home in KY, that's where the KY part comes in. sm
The lead MT is in San Antonio, TX, but as the other poster said, the headquarters are in India and 99% of the people you deal with are in India, some city that begins with an A, can't remember. They are nice people, but they should be honest about it.
Phillips OWNS MedQuist, who bought Lanier Healthcare in 2002..nm
nm
To my knowledge, the owner still lives in India, simply owns a home here. sm
The work is received FROM the Indian office and sent TO the Indian office. They used to hire only American MTs, but then started outsourcing to a company in India (big surprise).
I understand what you are saying, though. And if they are honest about it, then it is the choice of the MT as to whether he/she wants to work there. The fact that they blatantly misled in their ad angered me, but then again, I have been an MT long enough, nothing should surprise me. I guess I have done my part, and I have no particular axe to grind so I should just leave this alone now. I just was shocked when I saw the ad.
Good luck to all of us in finding a job that treats us well and pays us even better (smile).
Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually
afsd
Idea to help us all, maybe?
I've started an Excel chart noting objective information on companies. PTO, bennies, differentials, incentives, platform ease of use, spaces, all the stuff that helps to make a decision about whether a company is a good fit. So, I've really appreciated some of the information I've seen here today, good and bad. Keep it coming! 
No idea!
nm
Here's an idea...sm
Why not just hire weekend people at a good rate? They won't have to pay benes, etc.
Here is a novel idea
Very well said!! I can name a few that do that such as, Ascend Health Care Systems, Transcend Services.... should I go on???
Have no idea.
:(
I LIKE that idea.
Let the recruiters compete for their paychecks like MTs do when companies overhire MTs (even if just for a week or so).
Yes, I have an idea for you. sm
If you email me, I can give you the name of a company who offers this. Please be sure to put in your subject line of your email that it is in regard to a post at MT Stars, because I try to be careful of what email I open. Also, if you could give me an idea of how long you've been an MT, that would really help.
Anyone know how many MT's they have? I get the idea that
they are fairly large but the couple of times I have spoken with them they are really nice and pleasant and seem to be on the ball. They seem to treat people more like a small company.
I think the idea is that you tell them what
details are important to you, because no ad is going to give you all the details that might be very important to you. For instance, is good software more important than available IT help or whether there are ESLs or whether you can specialize, etc. When I've seen it discussed before, one person said they were referred to off-shore companies. Which would explain why posts might be removed from this site. But obviously you could stipulate it has to be an American company. I intended to use them when I got sick of sorting through companies myself, but found a good one in the nick of time. Good luck.
if your idea of
a good time is working like a dog for $11 an hour making some young white hotshot rich, this is an ideal career opportunity.
I had the same idea, but
the one job I found that was not MT, made me crazy - because all the rules were completely different... Try going back and forth and be able to keep them straight.
I'm still dizzy from that experience. That said, if I could have found straight data input, it would have been find. Let us know if you find something :)
Novel idea
nm
An even better idea - sm
How about the people who are not scheduled to work the holiday NOT work! Then those of us who are scheduled to work might actually get some work.
I have no idea but they sure need more
Some of the reports I come across are full of stupid errors that QA has never seen. They are far too easy on MTs and apparently don't do audits after you're released but maybe it's just me. I've been there nearly 2 years and have never been audited. I was surprised but am still careful just in case...
I think the TT niceness is carried too far when you have medical records with errors. So for all you potential naysayers who wonder how I know about the errors, with Dictaphone EXtext we have access to other reports and that is how we get samples. I would say at least have of them have some pretty bad errors.
I have an idea
Just let them know up front what you expect to get paid. I am sure they will be willing to oblige at that rate. Good luck!
An idea.....
How about a -----Watchdog Group---? Possibly representative(s) in each state. This group could appoint a committee to... say check on companies.....etc.
I'm sure that out of the thousands of US, some of you are good at writing letters getting a point across, organizing people, etc.
Personally, I had always thought AAMT was a bunch of baloney (just my opinion). They used OUR money to more or less screw us. Maybe there is something legal that can be done? Maybe they did a breech of contract so to speak.
Basically, senators, news media, etc. can help. At the end of the road, it is OUR problem. No one knows it like we do. Therefore, we are the ones with the solution.
Hey, now there's an idea!!!! s/m
You've got a deal! I loved to crab when I lived on the Texas Coast. We could always paint gourds when the crabs didn't have any meat in them, that was in the full moon wasn't it? I forget. I've slept since then. BTW, LT did you find a good new home? Haven't painted many gourds today, just loafing with a mini-migraine.
I have an idea for you!
You could always apply with SoftScript, Inc. They'll match your line rate (under certain criteria) and offer excellent benefits. After employee contibution, there are some plans that wouldn't cost you a penny out of pocket. Give it a shot!
You have got the right idea. I should have done same as you are doing.
I'd still be there now. Just got scared out of town which is my own fault. Oh, well, things happen for a reason. Just to say, you are very mature and your attitude is a good one for the long haul, at least as far as this company. It is a fantastic company and if you keep up your attitude you will do well. All I can say for me is that I jumped the gun, got scared. But ended up in a good place anyway, so just learned a life lesson about not running away, I suppose.
