wow. I talked to one of their recruiters a couple of weeks ago, and she was awesome.
My experience was completely different from yours. Maybe we talked to different people.
It took a couple of months
I got behind on bills and had to move on.
I hired on there a couple of months ago ...
and it's been a wonderful employment experience. They were very timely in responding to my resume and setting up an interview, and I had an immediate job offer. My account is great and so is my manager. Everything that I was told in the interview has proven to be true. I plan to make this my long-time home. I feel so blessed to have found this company.
I interviewed with them a couple of months ago ...
From what I can remember when I searched the archives they seemed to be one of the better companies. The recruiter, Rhonda, is great, very friendly, very knowledgeable. I decided, however, to go with a smaller company, one that focuses on clinic notes, where I have a Mon-Fri schedule and could not be happier.
Hope that this helps a little.
Worked there for 2 yrs and left a couple months ago.
Couldn't take working with unqualified people any longer. A very unprofessional company.
I started at amphion a couple of months ago
and I love it! I stay on the same account and never run out of work. They are BEGGING for overtime, which they do pay extra for. The people are so nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend trying them out. Good luck.
Just left Precyse a couple months ago and it
was still that same way. Nothing has changed, but the work coming from India has improved. 
Left a couple of months ago and the plan will not
change until end of October. Do you want family or just employee and children? If I remember correctly - the employee plus child(ren) was running about 225+ a paycheck and family (employee + spouse and/or children) was running high 300s per paycheck.
I've been following your posts for a couple of months now
and I advised you long ago this was not a reliable service - unless I am mistaken - and I could be. And my biggest question - are you absolutely positive you will get insurance with them? Last time I knew they hired ICs only. Truthfully, I would go for the unemployment and find another job with another service.
They sent an email asking for leads a couple of months ago
Did you try and weren't chosen, or for some reason not want to be a lead?
I left a couple of months for the same thing. The prior
3 months I was lucky to get in 800 lines a day. I had a couple of days where I got maybe 4 reports. I would sit in front of my computer for 12 hours/day, checking every 5 minutes, and still couldn't get my lines with 3 different accounts.
They hire away ahead of time for new accounts and after training they have to do something with them until the account goes live so they put them on other accounts temporarily and then there isn't enough work for the regulars.
When I first started running out of work I watched the backlog report to see where an account might have a big backlog and there were 3 or 4 who were on OT most of the time, but when I asked to be put on one of those accounts I was told no. There were many days that it looked like half the accounts had a 0 backlog. Then they started hiring for 3-day weeks and 4-day weeks so there was no work on weekends to try to make up your lines/hours.
I do know Webmedx bought TransHealth a couple of months ago. nm
xx
I give her a couple more months and she will take a serious nose dive. She has to keep replacing he
and start all over cheating them out of money.
TransTech LOW and NO WORK consistently for many months now, especially within the past couple
of months when they thought they were getting a new account and hired everyone who called or submitted a resume. There is just NO WORK for all of us anymore. Lost account, so what did they do -- put those MT's piled on top of us on our primary account.
TT is in serious trouble, I do believe, financially. If they are having to pay MANY MT's, but have few accounts, they won't last for long. Who is TT's financial backer????? Do they have one???? Who owns TT??? I once heard a real estate broker owned them. Wonder how much rent they pay on their office in Houston??? Wonder how many $$$$ in bonuses they are giving out to mgmt-type people????
We TT MT's are seriously hurting financially and getting very stressful on our health and livelihood. We hear absolutely nothing from mgmt about this situation, but *good things* are coming. You remember when the Q said the same thing to their MT's a few years ago and it was only beneficial to mgmt. It was a real crock!!!!! 
I must say that my job that I used to enjoy beginning my shift every day is now the MOST stressful thing in my life, and we ALL have stressors of one kind of another, admit or not. TT has become the biggest stress in my life, without a doubt. A doctor friend of mine and my own personal doctors say that is what my problem is.
These MTSO's have gotten just as greedy as GMC and all those other HUGE conglomerates!
TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
Well I am one of the ones who has talked with them....SM
The pay they quoted me was fairly good though not all that great, but I'm really looking for a smaller company and to get away from the really big companies. I did email with one MT who said she had been with them for 3 months and is now moving from PT to FT because she likes the money she is able to make with them. I took that as a good sign lol. I also looked them up in the archives and could find nothing negative.
I know what you mean about thinking with a maybe this will be the one attitude. I've been really disappointed in my search over the last few months.
I really think what is showing through as excitement in these threads (or just this one lol) is the fact that someone finally heard back from this company. I also think it took a while because it IS small and maybe they are extremely busy. I think the smaller MTSOs and their managers, account leaders, etc., probably all have too much to do everywhere so maybe these particular ladies really have just not had the time to finish up their hiring. JMO you understand.
If you are still looking, maybe you should email them and see if they still have openings. Their ad is on the job board. Just be prepared to possibly wait a couple of a few days for a response lol.
When i talked to them
they were very, very rude!
Only because we do so much rad. I talked to someone who sm
went to a radiology conference this week in Chicago (a radiologist friend) who told me that Keystrokes is everywhere and that whenever he talks to others in radiology, they all mention them. I hope that is good for all of us. I feel secure knowing that. He knows I work for them, so he made sure to tell me that they are very respected in the world of radiology!
I think I talked to them about 18
months ago, and that's what they were offering. Then I asked questions about how efficient things were, and it sounded rather time-consuming to me. They may have improved things by now, of course.
both I talked to
were women. I was actually told the Nuance recruiter wasn't with the company, but her email is still listed with them. This lady had a very thick northern city accent.
What was the name of the person you talked to? nm

I talked to them about IC status sm
and I really liked them. You might just call and ask. It would be IC status and you need your own equipment. They download their software.
I talked to her by telephone. sm
After about a 5-minute conversation, I knew I wouldn't be going to work for her. When I asked her about pay dates, she stated that MTs do not get paid until she receives payment from the client because, well, you just never know. She also stated that if she does not feel an MTs work is where she thinks it should be, she will lower their line rate. In my opinion, this person is very unprofessional. I agree with the above post about staying very far away from this business.
When I talked with them about a position, I was going to have to use....
their software and they did send a pedal. However, I decided to go with another company and never even plugged in the pedal that they sent.
Their software is based on MSWord, from what I understand.
HTH
What was the recruiter's name you talked to?
wondering if it is same as the one I talked to. They seemed very nice, but I got a much better offer elsewhere.
OSI - talked to their recruiter sm
and she got snippy with me for just asking a few questions, so I never went further than that with them.
I have talked to the office.
They say they are looking into finding me something.
Susan -- I talked with
recruiter today. It sounds pretty good.
Have you talked to DeVenture?
It is $20 a week for me and another $50 to put my two kids on. The company contributes a flat rate of $280 I believe.
I got hired the same day I talked to them but (sm)
I had to wait about 2 weeks for my keyfob from the hospital.
I talked to a recruiter and she had the
most WONDERFUL position available and that I was luck because the MTs loved this account and there was rarely an opening on it - blah, blah, blah.
She mentioned the account and I had worked on that account when I worked at YOG and I knew it to be a horrendous account.
I talked to the team leader (or whatever her title was) of the account and she told me that they can't keep MTs on the account because it is so difficult and no one wants to work on it. Then she let slip that they offshore and the best dictation goes offshore while the crap stays here.
The recruiter was constantly IM people during my interview, which I felt was unprofessional.
It has been talked about several times, but no one is
willing to do anything so nothing gets done. Personally I have no desire to be in a union and wouldn't join if there was one. By the time you pay union dues you wouldn't be any better off than you are now.
I talked to her yesterday or the day before... nm

Have you talked to your lead? sm
My accounts are busy. They were slow for 2 weeks but picked up, asking for extra help through this week!
I talked to them last year - sm
I am a long-time MT as well and they offered me 7 cents a line - umm, NOT! They gave me some song and dance as to why ER was only paid that as everything else was slightly more. I was shocked to say the least.
Just talked to recruiter
I did accept the job, now I have to get the C-Phone. There are a lot of sites that sell refurbed ones, so I guess I will start checking there.
I start May 18th. Good luck to you!
I talked to a Transolutions MT and basically
she was happy with the company. I try to find out as much as I can about a company when I interview, just to file away for future reference. She was looking for part-time work, and actually said she would recommend them. So.......who knows?
Thanks, I have talked to several people who feel...
the sameway you do. I am hesitant, but hey, I can't knock it unitl I've tried it.
I just talked to a recruiter 2 days ago! nm

The changes have no effect at all. I never talked to QA anyway. It is the problem with sm
solcen that is at issue. The are assigning jobs and rearranging job pools. That is the problem.
I was wondering if anyone ever talked about Spheris SM
on this board...
I am having a hard time making any money at Spheris. I am on an account with a large number of ESL docs. I love doing OP notes, but rarely get them. I make 9 cpl, about the going rate. I am looking for a new job simply because I hate the account I am on. The company is about the same as MQ, which is where I worked before coming to Spheris.
To the poster below who left Spheris and is making 3 cpl more, could you tell us where you work now?
Thanks.
Well I talked to the recruiter today
I do start in 2 weeks like the Stacey said. To me the payscale was a little confusing but I bet if I saw it on paper it would be more clear. The two job thing is a little scarry. I have not done that before but DH said he will help out with the kids and fixing meals so hopefully all will turn out. I told him I am not going to do this forever lol.
I talked to one of their hiring people
but that's on a C-phone account. Maybe that makes a difference between C-phone and internet account? Extremely nice lady too, by the way.
I just talked to the office and found out why - SM
They had a problem with their payroll system, where anyone with a last name that starts with T-Z did not get paid for some reason, but they are working on it now and will push it through today to make sure everyone who didn't get paid does ASAP. I feel much better now!
This company and KS are about the only companies talked about on this
board. As bad as MQ is about the only company talked about on another board. Ridiculous!
Hmm. Initials at least please. I have talked to their recruiters but did not take the job too.

I talked to our supervisor today sm
She took the trouble of calling me and spent as much time talking to me as I needed. She assured me that there is no underlying policy change that is creating this, that they are as surprised as we that this is going on, and that it WILL pick up. She told me this is a fluke and it WILL pass.
She told me they value their MTs and are doing the best they can to keep us in work. They sent the email about the blanks on DVI because too many reports are going to editing with something like a doctor's name on it (and if we can't find it, chances are the editors won't, either); it is also a matter of the prohibitive cost for each report going to editing. That makes sense to me.
I was asking her point-blank questions and she answered every one straight-on, with no hemming or hawing. I'm no dummy and not prone to gullibility. With any one of my former employers, I would have been skeptical, but she has never proven to be anything but straight-up with me in the past and as MedScribe has always looked out for us in the past (that has been my experience), I believe her completely.
That is not to say our work will be back in full force on a particular day, but it will come back. I suppose it is up to us to decide if MedScribe is worth sticking it out.
They've always been good to me and our supervisor is the BEST so yes..it is worth it to me.
hmmm.... I talked to counsel and
it is not being dropped. It is being addended.
Check your sources, management.
I CANT. BELIEVE. She talked for a solid hour
the fact that Acusis whacked us all in the knees with a baseball bat last Friday morning. Like it never even happened.
And tries to come off like everything Acusis does is for US - their 'appreciated' MTs. What a load of caca.
It was just one more solid hour of her flapping her lips and nothing but corporate c@ap coming out. But, that's how parrots are - don't really think on their own, just repeat what they're told.
Really? The office peeps I've talked to don't believe it...
They said MQ promised other branch office employees they would be working at home only to get a call after their office closed to tell them they were being laid off.
