I have become increasinglly discouraged with Spheris.  First, since the new platform was installed, it seems to be getting harder and harder to even meet required line count, where before I went way over my requirements. My pay is nearly down to 1/3 what it used to be before this new platform.

I know, too, a LOT of work has been outsourced to India.  If I could live off $2.00 a day, then I would.

Editors, do not even start me on those.  I have come to realize that most of the editors are indeed in India (take a close look at feed back and spelling of words).  I have one smart@ that constantly berates me and I have about had it. I have been an MT, I am sure, for more years than the Editor has been known medical terminology, yet this editor is allowed to talk down to me?  I would like nothing better than to tell this certain editor to kiss me where the sun don't shine.

I suppose here in a couple of years my job will be obsolete in this company because the $2.00 a day MT's will take over completely, leaving me and many other Spheris employees out of work.

Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms!  Horrible. And part of a team?  Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.

On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly -  its a nightmare to work in. 

and ran out of work constantly.  I have worked on several VR platforms and BeyondText is not the best, but it is not the worst either. 

Every company has good and bad.  Transcend was just not a good fit for me; however, it may be a good fit for you or the next person who comes along.

I love new technology and work on state-of-the-art platforms, the newer the better, so that typewriter theory of yours really does not jive here.

Every company has good and bad, it all depends on the individual MT and what that MT is looking for in a company. 

Good luck to you and if you choose Transcend, I hope it is a good fit for you! 

1.  How do they pay in comparison to other companies?

2.  Can you access reports typed by other people or review the patient's old reports in Bayscribe?

3.  Do they furnish PC and/or charge a fee?

Thanks

then they overstaff your account.  I used to get over 20,000 lines before they overstaffed mine and started playing favorites, with cherry picking taking place.  (And don't say it can't happen, because it can and does right before my eyes all the time.)  I've been struggling to make the minimum to keep my benefits. 

And then they try to tell you how you're going to be making such great money when you go to voice recognition, which is a JOKE for someone who typically transcribes 250-300 lines an hour.

To read this board and find that now the incentive program is discontinued for new employees (who are now hired at a higher rate and given instant PTO) while the rest of us who were hired before November 1 have to scramble to get a higher line count in order to make what the newbies are making and have to wait a year before earning one minute of PTO only provides yet another example of the inequitable way this company operates.

I'm tired of all the games, the insulting of my intelligence with the fiction they invent, and the terrible, terrible program. 

And to all the cheerleaders out there:  Write down all the good things you have to say now, save it in a file, put it on your calendar for 6 months from now and THEN let us all know how you're making out.

As for me, I've found another job.

they use and if they are employee only? Do you have to be full time? Thanks much!!
