Only lasted 2 weeks at Precyse. Hard to make money there. eTrans was easy to make money and they had relatively good benefits. Been 5 years ago though. Things could have changed.

eTrans, Precyse, Medquist; which is better?
I worked for Precyse
I dont know how all of the team managers are, but I worked for them for 4 months and mine never got back to me on any of my e-mails. I was always out of work, so bad to the point where my line count for the 2 weeks would = no more than 200 lines (if I was lucky).
I would always try to get a seond account, no response from my team manager. They would basically EXPECT their MT's to make up all of their time on the weekends. I would get e-mails from her that my QA evaluations were EXCELLENT at 99.6% but I needed to get my lines in  .
After e-mailing her who knows how many times with no response for another account, and even IM'ing her and asking her if I could work then to make up time NO RESPONSE.
I got fed up, e-mailed her said I was putting my 2 weeks notice in, and guess what, no sooner did I hit SEND my phone was ringing asking me why I was leaving and that she would hate to lose me.  At that time, I just had it and left and came to Medquist.
They have a TON of ESL's, but they weren't that bad.. you know how MQ has the F5 function, well Precyse has something like that, you don't have to ask for samples they are all stored in a database sorted by doctor. If the patient being dictated was typed before you could even search for that particular patient, so basically I NEVER had blanks. I really miss that. I liked the company a lot. Its just a shame that my account manager wasn't dependable and there was never any work and they always expected you to work all day on the weekends.
They have awesome PTO too you can use it from day one it starts at .005 cents per line..so theres money to be had there, If you can actually get any work. You have to work at least 25 hours to get it.
Let me know if you need to know anything else.. I'll be happy to share.
I have worked for OSI and Precyse (sm)
Precyse is a more professional company than OSi. Their operations and management team are more qualified. After working for both, Precyse has more to offer and they appreciate their employees. The QA staff at Precyse is the best, hands down. OSi has a really bad QA department. It is not easy to become an employee of Precyse, so if you are offered a position, I would jump on it. You will not be let go after 2 weeks.
Hope this helps a little bit.
I worked for Precyse
about a year ago and the work was pretty consistent. Every company I've worked for (in 11 years) has some slow times, but I was never completely out of work at Precyse. They do expect you to flex if there is no work, which was hard for me, but they have the best and least expensive health insurance of any company I've ever worked for. I don't know about Transtech.
I had a friend that worked for Precyse - sm
She was told she would be paid in two weeks - eight weeks later, and several phone calls later, she was still calling for her FIRST check. She was soooo frustrated and soooo broke, that she had no choice but to quit that job and go back to her prior transcription job
Anyone worked for both Medware and Precyse?
nm
Have worked for Medware and now at Precyse.(sm)
Medware turned out to be a really bad place to work, changes taking place there all the time and NOT good ones. I am very pleased with everything at Precyse. Great benefits. Great platform. Great people at Precyse, love working with them. 
I had this experience when I worked for Precyse.
Glad to be gone from that nonsense.
Men are pigs! Okay, I worked for Precyse a few years ago and SM
I have nothing bad to say about them. They have great communication and organization. When I worked for them, they supplied the PC. The work was pretty good and work flow was consistent. Pay was always on time and always correct. I left to work in the office. No hard feelings towards them and I hope they don't towards me (which I don't think they do). 
As for your personal situation, what is that song? Sistas are doing it for themselves! It seems like your life sucks right now, but you can do it and do it better without him.
Good Luck!
I have worked for both -- still have friends at Precyse and find
them both to be about the same as far as consistency in work. Usually if I'm running low, then they are too. However, Precyse has the better platform IMO.
Etrans
I have been at eTrans for 15 months now and I like it. You have to produce to get the good pay so I do not recommend it for part time because the rate is not good for that. They lack communication sometimes is a bad point and can get very irritating. They pretty much leave you alone and are flexible with your schedule, which for me is a plus. If you do adhere to your schedule you get extra to your line rate so it is pretty much your choice. I have been on a radiology account since August but did acute care before that. The account I had was pretty easy. I love the radiology account. They have good insurance with normal rate. I know some have the same insurance cheaper, but in the world today what we pay for our insurance it is pretty average. You do get net reimbursement and PTO. I am sure I forgot some things, but maybe I helped in the process.
etrans
I've gotten a job offer from eTransPlus but I just don't wanna jump into another fire and end up hating it. How are they to work for? I truly just wanna be left alone and allowed to type and not get bogged down in politics.
thanx in advance
eTrans Plus
Any feedbackon eTrans Plus??? Thanks!
anyone know about Etrans Plus?
Have any info on this company? Is it a good place to work? Stable work flow?
etrans
I worked for etrans for 6 1/2 years since the day the doors opened. In the beginning they were awesome. Over the years, they have turned to crap. Me and other veteran employees were recently laid off for making too much money. Then they denied our unemployment, got caught with that and then tried to deny our PTO, got in trouble for that. They are losing more accounts then they are getting. I have a job now where the owner actually cares about her employees. Loyalty and dedication means nothing to Etrans. They will hit you when you are down. I have many references to back it up.
eTrans Plus...RUN
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to post my most recent experience in my hunt for a good place. eTrans-Plus is the company, located in Nashville TN. First of all they use DVI Voicewave which is a very old system which has not been improved upon in ages mixed with a virtual desktop which you have no control over to do your transcription in. They provide ShortHand software, but if you want to have what you're used to you're just out of luck. I also would like to comment that their HR person there is EXTREMELY out of order. They also have some of the highest insurance rates I've seen.
Welp, just needed to vent...Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
ETrans Plus
Can someone tell me what medical ETrans Plus offers and the requirements are to get them? TY
etrans
Does eTransPlus offshore? Do they have ASR?
eTrans
I have been at eTransPlus for several months working on the ExText platform. So far so good except for the QA person assigned who I find ill-prepared, unclear, defensive, and has no interest in carrying on a 2-way conversation. Get past her and everything else seems to be fine ...so far. I have learned, however, that these companies are often not what they appear at the beginning so I hesitate to give a rave review with my 4 months of experience. Can't speak to other platforms. This one is wonderfully easy.
eTrans
I work for Etrans and feel the tiered pay is very unfair. The quality of work is the only thing that should matter when it comes to compensation. There have been days (almost a week) at a time when work was low and I had my pay cut to 6 cents a line for the entire pay period. Also, while I was waiting for training to be set up on a new account, which they forgot to schedule, I sat for a whole week with no work, my pay was cut. This has made me ineligible for benefits also. There are many reason a line count can occasionally drop temporarily. Why should I have not only less work but at a lessor rate?
They have no problem calling me asking me to start work early or to work over when there is extra work. I don't get paid extra for that nor is there any overtime for working extra days. I don't know how this is legal.
I like eTrans and the people there are nice. They don't bug you a lot, but I still need to make a decent living which I am not. Again, I think the quality of work should matter more than quantity. For some of us, we can only type at a certain speed, and after 20 years transcribing, I think I have reached my peak, so this is it. I am not going to get any faster.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Etrans
I kept getting job offers from one of their recruiters thanking me for contacting them....which I never did. I thought that was weird. I appreciate the work offers but have your information together before you contact me.
Etrans
Amanda...Just wondering...Were you able to collect unemployment after you quit Etrans? I've never been on unemployment, but I thought you would not be able to collect if you had quit a job....is that not right?
Etrans
I haven't noticed the line count, but thanks for bringing that to my attention!
etrans
As of this moment I'm employed by EtransPlus. I didn't know there could possibly be anything worse than the program I use which is Mongoose!
Have you been able to reach your line counts lately? I have been having a terrible time for the last 3 months....it's not getting any better and I'm planning to throw in the towel soon. I can't sit here for 8 hours and come away with less than minimum wage! I also see there has been a major rearranging of staff...do you know what's happening there?
eTrans plus is EXCELLENT!
love my job at ETP! Good folks, good benefits, good pay, good accounts, feel like I'm in MT heaven!
eTrans info sm
I am very happy at eTrans. Before this, I worked at MQ, so I know what it's like to work at a bad company. As far as my work load, I never have a problem getting the minimum lines for the day and beyond if I want. I start early in the morning and rarely have to work more than an hour extra on slow days, usually only the last day of the pay period for some reason, and like I said, that is rare. I don't know about overhiring. I get plenty of work to make the incentives if I wish. I have always been paid on time every time. And as far as demographics, the system I am working in is really easy with no real slowing down for demos.
I know eTrans was called out a few days ago by former employees, but I have to say I have never had any of the bad experiences that were posted. The tech people have been great, even though I've only had to talk to them once. My supervisor is great and has always been there when needed. I have a great account, a great backup account, and a great platform that means I don't have to kill myself to get the lines I need like MQ. I even referred my own mother to this company, and she is about to start with them next week. Do you think I would do that if I thought they were an awful company?
Hope this helps.
eTrans Question
How is the sound quality for eTrans? I took the test last night and sound was very scratchy, static, muffled. Is the normal dictation like this or is it just the test? Also, anyone know what their line rate is?
eTrans and Shorthand
Is there anyone working for eTrans that is having trouble with their word expansions. I have been having a really great lag, and sometimes my ShortHand words expand and sometimes they don't. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this. I feel like I am typing in quicksand. It is driving me crazy. My line count is really down. There is a big lag and sometimes I will be on another line and look back to see an shortcut that did not expand. My internet provider was just upgraded to the fastest that is available, so I do not think this is the problem. Anyone else have this problem with Shorthand?
eTrans shorthand
I work for eTrans also and have the same problems you are experiencing with shorthand. It is soooo frustrating!
Does eTrans pay for spaces?
I know there was a company I talked with a while back that said they did not pay for spaces, but don't recall if this is the one. Does anyone know?
Etrans info
Feedback on Etrans out of Nashville? Is the software MT friendly, productive, etc.etc. Thank you.

haha...I've been thinking the same thing all morning! Duh!
Etrans plus sound? sm

Etrans Plus -- current information about them. nm

Does etrans supply the computer? TIA
xxxxxx
I work for eTrans and love it sm
I've been with them since April after I got fed up with the Q. I have never had trouble making my line count without killing myself to get it, and the people are very helpful and friendly. Line rate depends on how much you produce, so it's up to me, myself, and I to make the money I want. I use their platform but know that they are getting some ExText accounts started also.
eTrans Plus info needed
Can anyone tell me what sort of schedules they are hiring for at e Trans Plus? Also, I can't find information about whether or not they provide the computer and other equipment. Does anyone know? TIA!
Um, I believe poster was referring to eTrans
I could be mistaken, but it appears she is referring to the company mentioned by the OP and not the mistaken poster's reference to TT.
Um, I believe poster was referring to eTrans
Sorry, posted this under MTGrammy's post instead of under the correct post.
I believe MTgrammy is referring to eTrans and not TT, as the original thread was regarding eTrans.
I could be mistaken; perhaps MTgrammy will clarify which company for which she is working.
Just started with Etrans about 2 weeks ago. So
far so good.
message to etrans re pay system
I worked for etrans a while back ago and don't remember that they had this ridiculous tiered pay scale. I actually liked the place and would consider going back except for this. This must be why they are now constantly constantly constantly advertising for MTs
I interviewed with Etrans several months ago, was
offered the job but decided to go with another company. If I remember correctly, they have a tiered pay system, decent benefits and I believe that they are doing a lot of the VA Hospitals. I just received an email from them today to let me know that they are hiring again.
I posted below about Etrans, I interviewed with them
several months ago and from what I can remember (don't hold me to it please, lol), it was a fairly strict schedule that they were offering, I believe Tuesday-Saturday with set hours. Hopefully someone that works for Etrans currently can tell you more, sorry.
Any new info. on eTrans Plus. I can't find anything since 2006. sm
Any feed, good and/or not so good is appreciated. I'm trying to weight out the pros and cons.
Thanks!!
Looked in archives for eTrans Plus but most were older
But I was wanting to find out if it's possible to do about 1500 lines a day consistently, also if the work is pooled (do you get pretty much same docs on same account every day or are there hundreds of different docs)?
For those who work there, do you like it?
For those who worked there but quit, how long did you last and why did you quit?
Just trying to do my research :)
Thanks for any info
I work at etrans and have had trouble for 2 years -
email me privately...
sounds like etrans- they also slow the server down
so that you dont type too fast. I had someone tell me that in the office before. I am normally not slow but could never get over my required rate no matter how hard I tried.
Method of counting lines with ETrans Plus
I'm noticing something kind of fishy with the line counting method used by ETrans Plus out of Nashville after several weeks of working. What is strange is that I can load a template for a particular dictator with several lines of routine text and the line count doesn't adjust if I go from the top to the bottom but continues to count at the point of entry regardless of how many lines of text are between the top of the report and where I jumped to in order to add new text. Has anybody with previous ETP employment experienced this? Just curious and would like to be informed.
Been there. Honeymoon stage with eTrans lasted 1 week. Not there any more...nm
s
ETrans doesn't hit 9 cpl until you're at 1400 lines a day. nm
s
I thought Etrans Plus was bought out several years ago by one of the "big three"
and very unprofessional.
