oh, I thought it was the air sound the middle finger makes

Ah, so! I don't "get" much around here! LOL
:D
You obviously don't "get it", or else you'd have
To the "get a job" folks
Many of the jobs are for acute care MTs, I would say the majority are. Perhaps the OP is not an acute care MT. If you are not acute care your options seem to be limited.
now i "get" to pay to work for MQ - barfing while I saw this
Retirement is not coming fast enough.
Now I get to pay for faster internet, new programs, down time to learn new programs, either invest in a new computer or pay to lease their computer ($50/mo).....just to get to make less money while I try to learn their new system.
I have freakin lost my mind.
I thought it was bad enough that I never ever saw a raise while working for them. That should have been the big SIGN! but no....I stayed and now I get to do the ultimate slap in the face..........I get to pay Medquist to get to work for them.
A NEW LOW IN THE AMERICAN WORK PLACE.
sorry, "get" into bonus situation. nm

Wow, "get away with" - good gosh sm
please check your expectations! Every MT company in the world struggles with getting the right balance of MTs for their work volumes. You were there for a whopping 1 month a year ago and still sound bitter. Maybe errors were made when you were with Webmedx, but it doesn't mean this is a bad company for everyone, especially at this point in time!
Say "Get Over It" to the auto workers and their families who are getting pink slips. sm
How do you think you would feel if you spent most of your adult life working for one of these companies promising you security if you stayed with them.
MD-IT Intelligent?
I did a search but couldn't find anything about this company. Anyone have any feedback? Flexible schedule? Pay on time? etc.?
Thanks in advance.
MD-IT Intelligent...Anyone??
Does anyone have any information on this company as far as workload, pay, benefits, etc. I cannot seem to find anything and they have advertised in the past so I just wonder if anyone took a job and how it was going. Any information would be appreciated.
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Has anyone heard of them, worked for them or is working for them? Need some information, please.
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Hi! I have been a MT for 9 months now. I really am not making very much money. I am not averaging over minimum wage. My company has no benefits either. But I am grateful to have a job anyway. I am taking the test for MD-IT Intelligent Transcription because they have benefits and seem like a nice company. I am wanting some benefits and I would like to make a little more money but I know having only 9 months exp I can't be too picky. I currently make .065 cents per line but a couple of months ago Carolina Medical Transcription sold out to Alphamed and when they happened I lost my good account I had doing clinic notes. I think the acute care I am doing now is good experience but it is hard to make any money cause I am forever looking everything up because there is all kinds of reports. Does anyone know a good company that would hire someone with 9 months exp that has benefits? I know the speed will build up as I get used to acute care but I could use some benefits.
MD-IT Intelligent.. Would like some information
I am interested in applying to this company but was hoping to get more information as far as benefits, platforms,etc. TIA
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Anyone with recent info? Please...I am tired of being jerked around by the company I am working for!
THANK GOD FOR INTELLIGENT PEOPLE...sm
Unfortunately they are very rare on this forum, but there are! THANKS!
Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to
accordingly --- instead of overhiring and making us EAT THE LOSS.
The need to smarten up! I could do the plan but I'm sitting out here in the boondocks and can't see what is coming. But I certainly could plan a schedule of people to work according to how much work I had OBLIGATED MY COMPANY FOR from the hospital --- surely there was some sort of anticipated work load when the contract was drawn up.
We all know how many reports ON AVERAGE one Transcriptionist can do of a certain work type.
That's what any intelligent person WOULD do. I'd ignore the

Not baby with bathwater at all. She is an intelligent MT
They do double talk at MDI. But their supporters are probably favorites or mgmt. There are plenty of people who have been messed up by this company's revolving door and double talk. I am one of them and I see others on this board as well. If this poster is throwing any bathwater it is to clean the misrepresentation and expose the clean honest truth.
Very intelligent post, and right on target! nm

I would always hope that a responsible intelligent MT...
typed my medical records. However, why should an MT be the ONLY ONE to take the perpetual pay cuts and the increased reponsibilities that should belong to in-house employees...you know those people who get raises and good benefits...such as researching demographics, CCs, etc.
This business is really different than when I got into it almost 10 years ago. I really, really feel for the people who have been in it for longer and have few options for a career change.
Ideally, yes, every member of the team, from those running MTSOs to those in hospital administration, would have patient care uppermost in their minds...but you know without it being said it is all dollars and cents to them.
MTs are just collateral damage, and professional people should not have to take a pay cut for trying to be more professional than the other people on the TEAM.
I shudder at some of the reports that I see, too, but I cannot lay a guilt trip at the feet of MTs trying to make a living when the deck keeps perpetually getting stacked against them.
The last job I went into was exactly this way...if you have a foot pedal and knew speech recognition, you got the job because speech was new to them. Their tech support was also the human resources person, chief salesperson, and CEO, so when my footpedal did not work, I had to figure it out. My QA trial was 3 reports and then off. The office manager sent me the account specifics - updated in 2007, but I had no supervisor. I could e-mail her with questions, do not call please, and she would try to find an answer and e-mail me back. There is no weekend and evening coverage for anything...call Dictaphone if you absolutely cannot work. Otherwise, five blanks is acceptable to send to the client.
To me, these are the people who should be told to buck up, not the MTs. How can you possibly expect to have a quality MT if that is all the time and information you give them? Inferior MTs are being created by the industry and accepted by hospitals so they can pinch a penny.
To ask MTs to switch professions if they cannot cut it is ridiculous, because they will just be replaced by MTs who know less than they do or more work sent overseas because there truly aren't enough American MTs to do the work.
If the work force is so intelligent, why do they
themselves to be victims. Doesnt sound so intelligent to me.
Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma
services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational. ALL software has its share of problems. It's the nature of the business. When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO? If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement? Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?
My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete. It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.
All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions. If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it. If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on. However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt. While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.
Good Luck!
MT Manners 
Very intelligent response. If she was not working for Transcend, she would
not be their recruiter.
Absolutely great INTELLIGENT post. Thanks! :-)
And the poster going on about starting schools and training of MTs, to ease transition. The poster needs to read up more as this is way old news. Its happening right now.
MD-IT Intelligent- Any new information on this company i.e. pay, benefits etc.
TIA
Anyone work for MD-IT Intelligent out of Portland, Maine?
Just wondering what they were like to work for, decent money, platform, and benefits?? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
or Flexible, Competent, Educated and Intelligent.
Something these posts are making clear many TT employees are NOT.
How pathetic some of you are, stuck in the 20th century and won't budge.
Glad to see I'll have plenty of work this summer while you all fight over jobs with archaic MTSOs that haven't yet made the transition to VR.
Best of luck to you!
Any info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcriptions/Louisville Division?
Any information on this company is greatly appreciated. 
Need info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcription Service. Good? Bad? TIA. NM

I agree. And black list or no, intelligent people take information

what makes them the best?

It just makes me sad...
I love Christmas (at least what it's SUPPOSED to be like)and you're right about the commercialism ruining it. I try to avoid the mobs if I can. We've had 2 people in this area held up at gunpoint for X-box systems! Unreal! It's fun getting together and celebrating the season with family and such, but 'tis definitely the season to be greedy.
I don't think having your CMT makes you a better
MT and I've seen CMTs who did really lowsy work. I have never considered getting my CMT. I have always been told that I do top quality work and at companies that do pay a differential for having your CMT, I am paid the same rate. Some people need letters after their name for whatever reason.
What makes you think KS is any
different than the company you work for? Go ahead. Check them out, but don't come back here complaining.
Can you say what makes you think this.
I don't understand why people take the time to respond to questions but they really aren't telling you anything. If you have something to say...say it. But please only say what you know. I'm not interested in what one 'thinks'. If you 'know' it...let me hear it.
Thanks.
What makes me mad? sm
When new people get hired at a higher line rate and doing easy accounts.
What makes you so sure it is YOUR job? Maybe they just need more help
Makes you wonder
The intro letter they send makes them sound like top professionals - and they waste no time in telling you how many fail their test.
But it makes you wonder when see *several* typo's in the materials that come with the tape - and then they are very lax with the testing process. Something tells me not getting my results was actually a favor in disguise. :)
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE
they are living in this country. Most are in INDIA and calling from INDIA!!!! Gotta give these companies credit though. They know how to hire good tech folks to set up in THE U.S.A. and they most likely live here but came from India.
Makes me wonder now..
My husband worked out of state for 3 years and they only took out taxes for that state. He says that when you work in another state, the state taxes for that particular state are the ones they take out. This is also a big co., so they should know the laws too, but if that's the case with MT, I guess you would have state taxes taken out for the state in which the co. headquarters are located. But I certainly can't speak as an expert because I have no idea, just know that's what happened in my hubby's case. It's never been an issue with me because I live in the state where my co. is based.
Makes ya wonder, don't it?

makes you wonder
I worked for a company for around 2-1/2 years, basically 7 days a week to help out. Never got one single incentive for it, nor did I expect it because in my eyes at the time, this was as good as it got. I also never asked for a day off while I worked there. I was paid lower than what I've been paid at other companies, in fact, 2-3 cents lower. I was offered more for other places, but I let personal feelings and guilt if I left them get in the way of business. I liked the personal feel of the company, as there were only about 30 transcriptionists and you had a chance to get to know your doctors--probably about 50 of them. My skills were good because I was always told that.
I had to leave due to reasons that I didn't have any control over and got literally a 1 sentence reply 3 days later. Said basically ok, no thank you, no good luck, no nothing. I still worked my 2 weeks afterwards. My reason wasn't a run of the mill lame excuse either. This was my first thanks. I felt like dirt after sending it and was sick about it for about a week before I did. I certainly didn't want them to say oh, please stay because I couldn't have even if I wanted to. I just expected a more grown up response from someone who could definitely write professionally.
Things have since cleared up and I have been back in the job market for about 2 months, so I sent my resume to them and re-applied. I figured, I liked working there, they liked me--had a great platform, why not? Well, this was over a month ago and never received an I'm sorry Sharon, we don't need anyone at this time. I figured, you can give an old employee that much acknowledgement, especially when it comes from a familiar e-mail and you KNOW they've read it as soon as they received e-mail notification because they, from personal experience, always got back to your e-mails within seconds.
I don't expect anyone to kiss my butt, but a little bit of graditude from a place where you aren't just a number, where you are like family, I guess I expected a little more. Am I wrong?
I have gotten more heartfelt e-mails from companies I have been with less time than that.
Moral of my story: They don't care about you, so if you don't have to, I wouldn't worry about sacrficing your family, life, and health to care about them.
I have found a better place who won't use me for my time or under pay me or EXPECT that I be at my computer all day every day to help them.
Thanks for listening,
Sharon
What makes you....
so in the know that you look at other people's work. I work there and there are no names on jobs...just MT numbers. I have been there for more than 3 years, was not a newbie when I started, and like it there just fine. I do not brown nose, and do not speak to anyone. It log on, work, and log off. I pass all my QA reviews have absolutely no problems with QA. It is beyond me how all you whiners and complainers know so much about everyone that works there...I would imagine you spent more time gossiping and spreading rumors while there than actually working.
Wow that makes my day - thanks!
as to sensible comments - anyone seen my prozac?
Really makes you wonder huh?
This is just one example of how we as at-home MTs do not really know who we are working for? This sounds like the ultimate bait and switch.
I don't know about CS but SSc makes you buy...sm
a pedal off the web. Seems like only a specified brand ($139 .. at a special MT discount will work with their program (LOL). This isn't specified in their job posting, though.
What makes anyone think only MTs are having this done??
This is a common practice now for jobs of every description, not just in our field. Someone said if I were in their spot might not like, I took bankruptcy years ago and did not buy ANYTHING on credit for years. When I once again tried, had clean slate and like I was starting all over. When I was low on money, I worked several jobs in order to pay my bills then and brought my credit back up to an excellent number now. I have been there (probably worse than most of you now with my bankruptcy) so it can be done and I do not AGAIN mind people checking.
what makes you think they have only 1?
nm
What makes them think someone will
They snooze, they lose.
That makes 2 of us!
 They said they sent me an email to download start up but i haven't gotten a thing!
so that makes it right?
