Does Transcend hire PT? Do they have accounts
nm
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

When you hire on and run out of work --
I hired on as a part-time MT for 2 different places. After my training, the first few days went okay. Then, I hit a snag. The first place I signed onto had no work - or at least started sending the e-mails about flexing our hours due to light workload, blah, blah.
I replied with my resignation stating that I simply could not afford to wait around while they tried to find work - they knew when I agreed to work and I expected to have it - I already had another part-time position and thank you very much.
Amazingly enough, I had a phone call and work within about 15 minutes and hadn' thad a problem since.
It's a gamble, true. Could backfire, true. I was, however, as prepared as I said I was and felt that if I tolerated even one day of the low/no work without letting them know how serious I was, it would just feed a lax attitude from the company toward keeping me supplied with work.
Anywho, just thought some of you may benefit from my experience.
I work M-F only. They can hire
PTers to do weekends like they've always done for years and years. I don't like this new trend of Su-Th/Tu-Sa. It's completely unnecessary when there are so many out there looking for PT weekend work.
Does Transtech hire to work on VR?
I am so SICK of VR I'm jumping ship.
I'd like to know too as we can seem to keep steady work, yet we are always trying to hire more.
If someone knows why they keep hiring more people, let us know. All I can think of is that the MTs they have keep quitting due to the lack of work, it's a vicious cycle. Somedays, they holler for help, you get in there and work hard, and then the next thing you know, we're out of work. I say STOP HIRING and let the MTs you have who want and need the work to do just that. I'm so sick of the feast or famine concept there. I'm job hunting. This stinks. They obviously advertise because they cant keep good help. That's my guess!!!
Which companies hire for VR work?
I would like to go back to doing VR work. I think I am more productive with it. Who is hiring for VR work, are they good companies, and do you feel more productive doing VR versus straight typing? Thanks
Work here now, wouldn't hire on here now
I work for Spheris now and am doing okay, but I wouldn't hire on here now as I don't think I would get the deal I have now. Also with speech recognition I have to wonder if the workload will be enough for the employees we have now. Most of the good work goes to India and I would never work for another company again that sends work out of the country.
Insurance is crappy and expensive.
This is a marginal company to work for if you are already here but not something I would sign up for if I were looking for a job now.
it's not illegal to look for an IC that will work when THEY NEED THEM to. Why hire someone to wo
it's not illegal to look for an IC that will work when THEY NEED THEM to. Why hire someone to work morning when you need nights for example.
Why hire someone to paint your house blue when you wanted orange?
Why hire a male stripper when you wanted a female stripper?
If you need someone for certain hours, you can request that person or IC to work those hours or not get work. Simple as 1-2-3.
This was longer ago than that and they were able to hire New Yorkers. I don't work there, either.

Does WMX hire PT and/or offer clinic work? nm

If they hire you to work on a specific account
Sounds too controlling for my taste.
I have seen many companies who want to hire OP people to work from home!
nm
Do they hire for one specific work type, say OP notes? nm

I wonder if they hire US MTs on new accounts and then get rid of them and send the work to India
after it goes through SR or something and the system learns from the US MTs.
Does MedScribe in Florida do clinic work and/or hire

Can anyone tell me if Administrative Assistants is a good company to work for and if they hire IC
or employees.
Are there any companies that hire emp status and let you work sort of a split?
I would like to work 6 hours during the day while kids are in school and then about 2 hours in the evening. Are there companies that will allow this? Do they have affordable benefits?
In my state, if they hire you full time, then do not provide the work you can draw unemployment -
You would have to talk to someone in your state, but I was able to draw partial unemployment while still working in Georgia. I had to report in each week how much I made and they gave me partial benefits. To qualify, you had to have been hired full time.
Transcend and no work...sm
I left Transcend over 1 year ago, and from what I have read here, nothing has changed except the forced VR, that I saw coming and one of the reasons I left. The other was NO WORK, especially on the last week of the pay period. On the weekend day that I HAD to work, I sat there and babysat my PC with NO WORK!!!. It was so frustrating, and I was NOT one who got on and worked when I wanted. I worked my scheduled shift everyday, all day long, and it was a struggle to get a decent line count...sometimes it was impossible because the accounts were over staffed. I know there are slow times, but this was for the WHOLE year that I stuck it out there. They had the most horrible accounts, sound quality was spotty and scratchy, and the dictators were awful. The worst accounts were the ones you had to have a "faxed" copy of the patients in order to even start typing the report; had to search through tons of awful faxed sheets....ugh!! I'm sick to my stomach just remembering it all. Apparently nothing has changed, and only gotten worse, as evidenced by the constant help wanted ads and complaints posted here. Sure glad I got out when I did. Flame away with "things are different", but I don't see any evidence of it in the posts I've read.
How is Transcend to work for?
I worked for MQ for 6 years and it sucked. Management was terrible. Raises were unheard of and you worked your butt off. They appreciate no one!
So do you work for Transcend?
Are you making 10 cpl with Transcend? If you are is that what you started at and how long have you been with them?
RE: So do you work for Transcend?
Yes I do, and I have been with them one year as of July.
Transcend...anybody able to work?
NM
Does anyone work for Transcend doing...sm
editing for voice recognition? I am thinking of making the transition as my hands are tired! But don't want to make a bad move and get paid nothing for hard work.
Currently work PT for Transcend
and so far doing okay. It was a challenge to learn Beyond TXT, but so was DQS, I have a problem learning new programs. The people are great and they have their own forum and web site to ask questions. No shift or weekend differentials. You have to E mail tech, but sometimes I just call them. They usually get right back to you. I heard a lot of negative posts about them on this site, I guess disgruntled ex-employees need to vent, but I have not found what they said to be true. It has been a positve experience for me. They leave me alone to do my work and I am picking up speed. 4 weeks now. I do get some hard dictators, but also some easy ones. I don't listen to a lot of the negative posts because in my experience, they are exaggerated. I have another job and that company gets a lot of negative posts also and the job has worked out fine for me. MT stars in general gets a lot of doom and gloom posts. The sky is definitely not falling.
I work for Transcend and it is no
company out there. The posts below are not true in my experience about as the person hiring was very nice to me and not rude at all. Please do understand, though, that every account they have they hope to get on VR and pay the MTs half per line what they are making doing MT, because it is expected your production will double on VR. So if you like doing VR and can do double what you transcribe, this would be a good company for that person. In the meantime, they still have plenty of regular work. Hope this helps.
I work for Transcend. Beyond TXT
to others I have been on. Also, all accounts will be going to VR in the near future, so if you like VR at half your line rate, go for it. Otherwise I would seriously think about this one.
All Transcend work going to ME
If you want to do MT, be prepared to being switched to ME in the very near future. This company wants all accounts on VR.
What is Transcend like to work for? How about MDI-FL? They both sm
talk a good game, but it sounds like a sales pitch and I want to get some honest opinions before leaving MQ.
I used to work for Transcend.
I also thought their platform was terrible and the training was a joke. That is why I left. They have the worst platform I have ever worked on. The training was the worst also. And the technical department, if you have a problem, you have to email them and wait and wait and wait for an answer, sometimes not until the next day. And they were crashing on a daily basis. Reports did not show up on my line count. I had to constantly email tech to see why a report did not show up. The worst company I have worked for.
I work for Transcend
They are a very good company to work for. I've been with them over a year now and have been treated very fairly and kindly. I highly recommend them. They're looking for MTs, so definitely consider them as your home. Hope this helps.
Transcend work
Where is it? I guess they have none. Anyone else having this?
Transcend work
My accounts are pretty busy this morning.
Transcend must have sent all their work
over to India this weekend too. Nothing available on my accounts. What else is new. This is getting to be routine.
Anybody work for Transcend
who is a team lead and would like to share some info on how they like it? Feel free to e-mail me.
I don't work at Transcend. nm

Low/no work at Transcend?
Anybody? Or maybe it's just me. I don't get it. I've barely had part-time amount of work and I check in at all hours of the day and night just to get that. There is zero work on the system right now. It's ridiculous. I've been begging them to add another account and they are doing it I guess but at a snail's pace. Bills are coming due, gas is getting higher and this looks like the end of the road for me. Even during MT week, everyone was suppose to get a package, I didn't and to add insult to injury there was a contest I had won that week ($25) and you guessed it, no sign of it.
So although they're extremely friendly ppl who don't give me a bit of grief, I can't afford to work there anymore. It's been since the end of May and hardly any work.
Oh well. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','%3Cimg%20src=http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sad.gif%3E');
I've already applied to a few places, so we'll see what we see.
It's back to the drawing board, Again.
Transcend work
I have had no problem with communicating with Transcend. Got out of training on the second day, and I am on a very difficult account. None of it is easy, but I feel I have lots of help and support when and if I need it.
If you work for Transcend and do VR
how many lines per week are you doing? Is it possible to make any money with their VR accounts?
Low to no work at Transcend
Anyone else from Transcend frustrated with low to no work for the 3rd day this week. Granted there was a hurricane that hit Texas and some healthcare facilties were hit ... but most are back up running now and back to usual... Is this a case of overhiring for Transcend escription or what?
I was already near the poor house and 1 day last week and now 3 days this week of basically now work is a surefire boot to the poor house.
Transcend work...
I do VR and ST for Transcend (going on about 4 months now) and absolutely LOVE this company and their accounts. Not much I can add to that!
Transcend work
Good for you. Hope it continues have worked there for about four years and it has gone from poor to worse.
If you work with Beyond Txt with Transcend what
is your opinion of the platform? Can you make a decent living? I've read the archieves back to 2005. I find lots that hate it, but a good number who like it.
For those of you who work at Transcend...
And you are on the Editscript platform...what version do they use? Version 6 or Version 8. With Version 8, can't you have Word 2007 and use an USB footpedal?
Transcend - anyone else out of work almost
consistently? Guess they must have decided to do 90% offshoring to India. I rarely have enough work to even work an entire shift and I work on 3 accounts. Feel sorry for anyone who believed that stuff about big bonuses for 3rd shift work. You will never get it.
I work for Transcend
I have worked for Transcend 8 years now; was working for MDI-FL during the merger with Transcend. I have had the very rare occasion to run out of work over the years, but on those rare occasions, it was welcomed by myself. As far as I know, every merger with Transcend has went smoothly. I would not worry too much if I were you until you have a problem, and let me tell you, if you do have a problem, every member of the Transcend team are very approachable, from team leaders and regional operations managers, right up to the president and the CEO. I have met several of Transcend’s upper management and you could not ask for a more understanding, more honest bunch of people. The president of Transcend has been a MLS for more than 20 years and she not only will tell you to call her if you have a problem, she will also give you her cell number. I have being in this industry for more than 25 years myself and hated the thought of working for a company as large as Transcend, thinking I would get lost in the shuffle and just be a number in their quota, but Transcend has certainly proved me wrong, they could not be more personable.
Please fee free to email me if you have any questions or concerns, I will be glad to put your mind at ease, and no I am not management, just a MLS who likes her job and enjoys working with the Transcend team.
I too work at Transcend. Had you
said it was not a horrible place to work, I could have bought it. But I run out of work regularly on several accounts leaving me short most paychecks.
You paint a rosy picture that has not been my experience.
You work for Transcend?
You were just posting down in the Transcend thread. Transcend pays for spaces, what are you talking about?
Low work at Transcend
Exact same situation here! They are claiming 2 big new accounts in another week or two & then I will have a decent back-up account. VR pay is bad enough without having to wait for the work & some days having none at all !
