typing that much for that many years! After 10 years, my hands are killing me after half a day. I used to be able to do that much, but it hurts too much now.

"hand holding"
No.....hand holding I don't need...nor do I need EXPERIENCE...I have been doing this for 20 years...so think about it!!...I am talking about little things that add up that they have NOT TRANSMITTED to you....a physician list for letters that were not given to and I had to look up every address......(oh we are working on getting a list)....pfffff....also had NO CLUE...where these physicians were and trying to find out where and why? Experience I have...just that I am not a yellow pages directory and they had very POOR COMMUNICATION...I was trying to be polite but since YOU ARE NOT.......I will lay it out....they are a TERRIBLE organization to work for....Also....try to put everything in microsoft word and then transmit, etc......lots of BS to put up with. And waiting for work...NOT KNOWING if you have work in your q....waiting for them to let you know if there is work......but yet you had to have it done @ THEIR convience even if it meant missing dinner with the family because I FORGOT to put it in your q....puuuhhhlllease!
The company is getting by on yanking peoples chains and empty promises.
How are the DRC/Acusis MTs holding up? Are you

Really? Your STM should be holding these at least monthly
I would check with your STM to find out when he/she holds her team conference calls.
Anyone holding out on PC check at the A? nm

I am not holding out hope - already looking elsewhere
The new accounts aren't coming, several current ones are leaving, and layoffs have started, even in QA. They hired in anticipation of the new accounts, so now they have those MTs plus the MTs from the accounts leaving to redistribute into the already shrinking workload. It does seem like this is a situation being experienced not just at the Web, but that doesn't help us pay our bills. I think we need to find a company on the upswing.
Heartlanders: A week later.. how are we holding up? sm
I don't know about everyone else, but the shock hasn't worn off yet and I'm still in disbelief. I've had the worst week of my life trying to figure out how I am going to survive, especially after seeing those COBRA rates - no favor to us! 
What's holding you back is your address -
If you'd called them from Bangalore, you'd probably have gotten responses to every single application.
If there is a person holding each end of the pole, does that make them
:P
Good advice! I was holding a grudge
I realized that while I was angry and at home all the time with a grudge, my friend was out dancing and going on with her life. I was the one caught in a trap. Be above all that, forgive, turn the page and go on.
Dear SM thank U for not holding your tongue any longer
You don't even know what you are talking about. They had no choice but to be open about offshoring after the best QA manager EVER got fired for accidentally forwarding an email from India.
If they had nothing to hide she should have never been fired in the first place.
Trust me you are much better off not taking the OSi job.
At least 20 or 25 of us left that place specifically because of what they did to her.
That was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG Never looked back

No hand-holding here at all. Experienced! But truly the WORST ACCTS.

I can do that as I expect a lot of places are holding off hiring now because work does tend to get a
little slow at this time of the year. I can manage with what I have until January.
Why would anyone be so adamant about holding on to such a crud-ball, crap-paying, loser of a job lik
If this is what it takes to get us off our butts and get a respectable job that pays more than a 16-year-old makes babysitting, so be it. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I for one am outta here. Good luck!
Hands Down, it's......
Amphion. I worked for HealthScribe, and as it turned into Spheris, it seemed more and more work went overseas, more and more perks were taken away, and more and more MTs felt like cattle. I admit, I have not had experience with Medware but I've heard good things about them, too. If you want support staff that supports and genuinely listens and cares, then Amphion is the place to be. Amphion pays higher cpl too, for experienced MTs.
Please do. They need your hands!!

DQS was the best hands down--sm
I worked on DQS for 6 or 7 years with MQ. I never had a problem with sound quality unless the dictator was doing something to mess with it, i.e. cell phone, not holding the phone up to his mouth, holding the phone too close.
I have also read complaints on this board about the sound quality with other companies, and I know that 1 company in particular handles the MQ overflow. I think maybe they re-record it or something when they download the work to that company. I'm not sure, so I would probably stay away from that company.
Other than that, I think DQS is excellent. It's definitely built for speed!

Transtech hands down

wow...you definitely have your hands full...
I have a 2-year-old daughter at home with me while my 9-year-old son is in school...she is fairly good about playing by me, et cetera, so really I think I have it easy as far as she is concerned...but I am most productive while she is napping in the late morning...since yours are so little, I would say waking up before they get up in the morning to work, working during nap times and then possibly later on when their father gets home from work so he can help take them off your hands for a bit...good luck...it is hard work but it can be done...
LOL! Someone has too much time on their hands
I think that is stretching it a bit far. Too funny.

Hands-On Transcription Company

Transcription Connection hands down.
Logs, logs, more logs, spreadsheets. Everything done manually. Tons of scanned patient lists. Even had to look up addresses so the husband could do the envelopes. Insist you count every report with the Word counter (a ripoff). 1/4 of your day spent on crap not included in your line count.
Any and all info on Hands-On, por favor...(sm)
They are advertising right now and was curious if anyone has any experience working for them.

Transtech, hands down. Don't know that much about MQ but was offered a job there when we got out
E-mail if you need more info.
I have 30 years in and don't make $25K. Hands sm
have taken a beating over the years. The best I ever did was when I was an IC and worked a minimum of 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, 4 hours on Sunday. No social life. No life but MT, really. That was when Clinton was President, all MT work was kept in the USA (tough keeping up with the demand then!), and MT pay was tops.
Nowadays, an MT cannot count on a regular income. So many pitfalls--company buyouts, sellouts, offshoring, lousy technical quality, docs dictating on cellphones, etc.
Hands on Transcription contact
Do you know how I can contact them?
You got that right. Focus has their hands in all kinds of
cookie jars. I'm glad to know this though. Considering a QA position with them.
