about a year ago and I have had regrets a few times, but seeing all this I guess God was looking out for me and I made the right decison after all. I'm so sorry that this is happening to everyone. I never heard of cutting someone's pay after hired but then again, a lot of things have happened in the past few years that I never thought would happen.
Good luck.

Thanks! I was surprised I didn't have to test, but that obviously is okay with me. sm
I have seen many positive posts about the company, and I was impressed by the things I was told by the recruiter. Thanks again for the welcome!
Surprised C didn't say to stop
talking about MDI problems/concerns on a public board like they did in March/April when people complained openly about the VR rate of pay. Oh that's right, they made that request in their conference call, not in e-mail.
You'd be surprised who feels they aced tests but didn't.
Everyone always thinks they are the big kahona in testing but I am never surprised at lower scores.
If you bombarded them with tons of emails, etc., you probably hindered your ownself.
Never be too sure of yourself. I see it undone every single day.
I'm surprised the main office didn't find a bunch of
What a totally assinine 'gift'. I'll bet the globe was made in India, too.

Yes, VERY heavy ESL.

Why would getting top heavy with
I can understand not answering emails but top heavy with management really isn't any of the MTs business.
despite the heavy negatives
i vote MQ; tried a couple smaller companies -- but when you roll into the mix all the various factors, its my choice place to be. and furthermore, its my family's sole income and as a FT employee -- i'm not even worried about the lawsuits and all. The company is constantly improving. There are no signs of sell-out or collapse, only of strength.
MDI-FL'ers, can you do 250 LPH, even with heavy

Very heavy HISPANIC ESL

Heavy turnover
Big turnover on this account. They constantly advertise. Look elsewhere.
OSI heavy on the offshoring, I believe.
Heavy ESL account...sm
I happen to work on the heavy ESL account at Axolotl. It is difficult, I won't lie. There are not many Asian dictators, but I have many years of experience with ESLs and I do find it to be quite difficult. I have only been with Axolotl since July and just moved over onto this account a few weeks back, but it was my secondary prior to that. I think with time, they are very doable; however, it is not a huge money-making account. I can't come near the 250-300 lph I used to be able to do (which might be age showing, too), but I love this company and they are very accommodating in many ways! Work has been slow lately, but is supposed to be picking up as this account brings on more work. If you are up for a challenge and would like to work for a great company, I'd say go for it. They are really, really good about filling in blanks and providing feedback and you can even relisten to the job which helps you learn them better! e-mail me if you'd like!
Heavy ESL is probably exactly why I got that callback...
now that you mention it. Before I quit, they had me in a very heavy ESL account. That's not specifically why I left (didn't help), it was a combination of things, mainly that I couldn't move through the junk quickly enough to make a decent paycheck anymore and knew it was not gonna get better there. Of course, I was told at the time that was all they could give me. We do not have a fit for you, yeah, buddy. Going back would just mean more mistreatment. I personally hope they have to fold.
Count on heavy Mon and Tues and then
computer up to 14 hours or so a day to wait for work to drop in to get your line count, or you can just work 365 days/yr. They will tell you to work outside your schedule if there is not work and expect you to have a consistent daily line count.
You are NEW !! TransTech is HEAVY into VR. Where did you get your info from?
Every account is about 75%-80% VR -- unless it a new account which the voice machine has not been able to interpret the doctor yet. You just wait . . . your turn is coming for VR. They beg for more editors to be trained each and every week.
How well does eScription do on heavy ESL physicians?
Also, how long after using this platform did you find yourself doubling in your productivity? Anything you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
How many of these VR lines for heavy ESL dictators?
Thanks.
Their pay is the pits unless you're a heavy producer. nm

18 years acute care, heavy ESL. Thank you.

Can you give the initials of what the heavy ESL accts were?

The work is pretty darned heavy now!
People have said the ESL load with FN is very heavy AND they don't offer DD. nm

Doesn't that chip on your shoulder ever get heavy?
Maybe you should consider a career change. Being locked up all day away from the real world has obviously made you bitter and a tad dillusional. Have you considered counseling?
On my TT account, the only times heavy editing
Is required is if there is a bad connection (static and muffled connections wreak havoc with Escription, as with any VR system). Other than that, my production is probably 2.5 times greater than it is with straight transcription; essentially, the means my pay increased slightly with the transition to VR.
I believe the poster means that if you cannot catch *nonsense* the system churns out and correct it, then that person really shouldn't be an MT because details is what our jobs are all about.
Lots of people like it here even though the ESL load is supposed to be heavy. nm

HEAVY ESLs, will not switch accounts if you are having difficulty, and more...sm
Plus you have to pay $25.00 every payday to get your check UPS to you. Now, I never have known UPS to charge $25.00 to mail a letter overnight! They must be making profit off of it. The worst ESLs ever! I have worked for many years as a MT but NEVER had this horrible of ESLs. Not to mention the VERY RUDE QA staff! Supervisors and work flow are nice. I would think twice. But pay was always on time and always correct. You just have to balance out. They used to run out of work too. Don't know if that has changed or not.
Posts here from last month said the ESL load was unusually heavy. nm

The account is not bad but it has heavy Hispanic dictators. I worked on it for another company and
get used to it, it is a great account. If you really want a different account, just talk to them. They are really good about switching accounts for people. Call Becky in the office. She is the HIM coordinator now according to her email signature line. She is the best!
Most of them do - You would be surprised.....
how many are doing it that have not come out.
I am surprised a lot of the MTs
at Heartland did not follow Tracy to Transtech.
I'm surprised
about Trinidad because their website states they do not outsource. They seem to be very family oriented and all that as well from what I read. I do know the accounts have 12-hour windows and the scheduling is flexible within that time frame.
I was surprised
that it was mentioned that they pay some of the MTs in India as independent contractors.
With what I know of them, I would not be surprised
about anything that they do.
Why are you surprised?
What are the names of some professional organizations who require that you live in the US in order to join?
Are you surprised???
They don't care if you have work or not. Their only concern is keeping the reports within TAT. They don't care if you quit as a result. They will just post more ads here and more suckers will apply and get hired to take your place. DSG is the pits.
Really? I'm surprised because
work has been really slow on all my internet accounts for well over a month and I've not been able to make lines. But I love MDI, so I'm hanging in there.
Are you surprised?
I would guess that 90% of MTSOs read this board. They would be dumb not to know what is being said about their companies.
This is a public board that most MTSOs know about. There are probably just as many MTSO owners/managers/and other suits on this board as there are MTs.
If you'd notice, YOU are the only person who posts here with your full name. Most people know that MTSOs read these posts.
not surprised
How do you find things out like this?
I wish I could say that surprised me, but...
sadly I can't. So many things about this industry seem to be going down the tubes.
I first got into this because it seemed so secure. After all, people are always going to need doctors - right?
That part is still true; unfortunately, though, those doctors don't seem to need us anymore.
I wonder if anything is going to be able to pull us out of this awful downward spiral we all seem to be trapped in.
I'm not surprised
Watch out - they are vague about everything, and expect you to magically know everything then fuss at you or terminate you when your QA is 100% after a week. One friend who worked for them was done that way. they are rude jerks as well.
I am really surprised - sm
You do not have to associate yourselves with AHDI. There is information on how to contact your state representative. There are other links there. I am not a supporter of AHDI, but I thought you would see that that information is useful. It is convenient. Get off your duffs and write! A lot of good it's doing you to get on this board and slam AHDI. So what? Not exactly constructive behavior. I would be willing to bet that not one of you who has responded has done anything but whine and form and share useless opinions.
