In Reply to: Do you mean you send it back to the MT? - I am QA
that way they can see how easy it was for them to do the research and they can fill in the blank themselves, rather than being lazy and having me do it for them...:)

Yes it is QA's job - and they send feedback daily
Every day, hand typed, sent to the supervisor, who then passes it onto the MT.
Of course, many of the errors are seen time and time again because the MTs either:
A) don't read the feedback
B) don't care
C) both of the above
I absolutely REFUSE to send them feedback.
It takes way too long. I've done this in the past, and as you've also stated, nothing came of it. I won't give them anymore free time. Any time I have, I need to use for my job search.
well then isn't that QA's job to send feedback so that doesn't continue to happen?

All of the ads say to send your resume to them. Look at an old ad rather than the website. nm

Do you send them a message? went on website but couldn't
xx
Do they have a website or a place to send a resume to?
Sounds like a great place to work!
Did you have to send them back
Just asking.
Do you mean you send it back to the MT?
or do you just give the website with feedback?
Send them an email to ask and see if it comes back. nm

I simply send back a reply to
all political emails to ANYONE that thinks I don't have the intelligence to form my own opinions and say return to sender. Some have definitely stopped.
They did send the reports back to me. I guess I figured they
knew what I was going through and would understand that it would get better. They tell me that the account requested me off. I find that hard to believe as I have never heard of such a thing in 15 years of MT.
Are there any companies that I would download voice files and then send back but would be able to
transcribe on the move so I can travel but not use all my vacation time? I wish I had paid attention earlier this year..but I didn't know I'd ever be in the position to need to do this.
one line for listening to work - internet to send back.

i'd like to know too. i did send an email back before wasting more of my time to see if the work

Tried to send you a msg, but it got bounced back. Can you give us the initials of this place
s
they email you some voice files to type and send back
nm
If you click on it, it takes you right back to their dated website, too. Maybe the banner is old?? n

How long does it take TransHealth to get back to someone when you send a resume? I sent a resume

Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

No PC is provided. You must have your own. nm

You can make it up provided there is enough
work for all the others who need to make up too. They hired MTs to do a Friday-Monday shift so there was rarely excess work on the weekends to be able to make up a shortage. Some shifts have more work available than others during the week so may be easier to make it up then.
Equipment provided
 Looking to change companies. I am currently using a company computer and don't want to have to buy a new one for work. Can anyone tell me which companies provide the necessary computer equipment?
P.S. ShortCuts is provided at no cost ...sm
to Transcend employees and is provided prior to their account moving over to editing.
Actually, I don't know if it comes with the Ex-Text but it is provided by the company
nm
I concur. If the MR is not provided, and you are unsure you are
transcribing on the correct patient because patient's name/and or DOB were not given or prounced as you have searched, just bypass it.
They used to start off at very low pay and provided the puter. Don't

I provided several months for a company
as they appeared legit - offered me position and then never contacted me again. Will never do again. With today's identify theft being #1 crime in the nation - way too risky. I was told it was needed as they were going to do background. I should have done more background on them!!
No equipment provided. This was for an IC position. NM

Provided you are performing the line
count they are performing. Have to make sure it is 65 characters, but with or without spaces. It is amazing how many people work for an MTSO and don't know how the line count is counted. Also, different programs count different ways.
P.S....or if facility is closing and provided that
Which they almost certainly would in most cases. This law has NOT proven to provide the protection for laid off workers that you seem to imagine.
When I worked there last year they provided me
a C-phone.
provided link for info....
just to explain where VBC originated and how we are once again being sold out by AHDI.
MT has gone from being considered a secure job that provided a comfortable (sm)
middle-class living, to what it is now - sweatshop labor -with near 3rd-world conditions when it comes to how little it pays, loss of benefites, and how much one must work in order to earn half of what they made 15 years ago. Why am I still in it? Because I made the mistake of putting all my eggs in the MT basket years ago, when I was still young enough to change careers. But back then I didn't need or want to change careers. Now I'm too old to go back to school long enough to learn anything I could do that would pay decently (who wants a 70-year-old newbie at ANYthing?), and yet still a good 15 years away from retirement. So, although I keep looking around for something else, there is very little I could do at home on my own computer. I'm so burnt-out on offices & management that I doubt I could ever go back to an office ever again. The thought turns my stomach. I'm just hoping that I'll have enough in Soc. Security benefits when I'm finally eligible that I'll be able to get by on that AND a full-time (i.e., 60+ hours a week!) MT job.
Company-provided computer does not have printer with it.
Help out with this situation? Company's software is not compatible with Vista (my personal computer) yet, so I have no access to printer in order to print IM, if that is possible. Further help?
My court report provided the key to her software and
yes, you are IC and basically work for the court reporter. You work when they need you, sometimes weekends when they have rush jobs..without notice because they are not always notified by the attorneys until the last minute and you do HAVE to meet the deadline. Unless you are working for a trial court reporter, you are mainly working depositions. GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT THE ADVERTISEMENT. I think someone with transcribing skills can get into this very easily without that expense. By contacting court reporting companies, you can get the info on the court reporters looking for scopists.
And I sleep well at night, knowing I have provided

You should check out the Nuance website and the Focus website
Nuance is Dictaphone and since a lot of use Dictaphone equipment, you can say we all have something to do with this. If you are surprised at the website above, look at the US website of nuance. Just IMHO and try to get both sides of the corporation.
The answers provided are based on my personal experience only
need any information you can give me on Medware. What they pay, (depends on your experience) platform (Merit), training (frustrating, on par with many companies in like field), do you pay deposit for computer (you supply your own), what they are like to work for (depends on who your Team Lead is), work (feast or famine), offshore (Yes), etc. I need it quick and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
our hospital provided the outsource service samples of ESL's dictation so that the
reports wouldn't keep coming back with missing dictation and blanks and horrendous attempts at guessing. I would also keep asking your company over and over and over again to please provide you with a sample, if not from the hospital, then maybe from one of their transcriptionists on the same account.
You can post a resume unlike the one you provided your current employer and give yourself
a name like Provided Upon Contact. Set up a hotmail or yahoo email and go that route. When services contact you (and they will if you have what they're looking for) and it's not the service you work for presently, then you can respond to them.
Good Luck.
It's not at the IRS website. It is in my state website.
It is clearly written that any employer out of state is bound by the laws of my state as far as taxes. Look at your state website.
I worked in QA for Transcending back in 2000-2001. They were paying hourly back then. SM
The accounts weren't too horribly bad. The reason I ended up leaving was because slowly but surely they began to inch closer and closer to paying QA by production. When I first started, the quota was something like 30 reports a day. We simply had to make sure that we QA'd all reports that were close to being out of TAT first and then do the rest. Then, my supervisor left and they hired a new one who immediately called a big teleconference meeting and said we had to up production to 60 reports a day. Then, they started counting lines. Which was fine because they were still paying hourly.
Next, there was an MT who used VR software because she was blind - yes blind. Again, when I first started, I was told we had to edit her entire reports because she used the VR software and we had to make sure that everything was correct and made sense. Then, we are told only check the blanks. I wasn't comfortable with that and I continued to completely proof every word. Then I was called on the carpet not because I wasn't meeting the production quota, but because I was ONLY meeting the production quota. I told them I was proofing all of the MT's work that used VR, I was told that no one ever told me to proof every word of the VR reports and that I needed to fill in blanks and move on. When I voiced my concerns, I was told that was my job, to fill in blanks and I should move on and strive to product above the standards. Next thing you know, rumors abounded about changing the QA staff to being paid on production. So I left.
There just seemed to me to be too little concern for quality and more emphasis on quantity and I just didn't want to be part of company who would take money out of my pocket just to line their own and that's what they were doing by putting QA on production. I also am not comfortable with the job of QA being thought of as a blank filler. There is much more to the QA profession than just simply filling in blanks.
I don't know if Transcend ever did start paying QA by production, but I could see that the idea was being floated there. Maybe there was a enough protest that they didn't change from hourly.
Good luck to you!
Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
Has everyone heard back from Keystrokes yet regarding the email we received a while back?
Just wandering why I haven't heard any response yet.
I sent them an email back in August and never heard back sm
Is this company on Long Island? I checked out their website and even tried calling once. Were you successful in contacting them? All i know is that the company is owned by some doctors.
Hopefully, you will hear back. Unfortunately, I immediately heard back from MD-IT
but somehow with over 16 years of experience, I blew the test. I was soooo disappoionted and yet pretty stunned. I am by no means perfect but I haven't flunked a test in years. I expected it in my early years but not this far down the road. I was so confident and they will not tell you which part you did not pass and why so it really just blew my mind. I must have been in shock for like two hours after I got the email. Oh well, someone will want me....hopefully. I was thinking about OSi but I don't think I could take another rejection if I never heard back.
I had the same thing happen, went back to MQ, went back to KS and could not be sm
happier. I am on a different account then the first time and it is as if it is a different company. I have a great lead who leaves us alone most of the time but is there when I need her. It showed me that you can have a different experience within the same company.
I have to say that in the few weeks since they have the new office, it is much more organized probably because there are a lot of people there all the time. I had the pleasure of speaking to the new HR manager who was HR at a hospital, got my questions answered about insurance as I am going to full time and had a live voice pick up the phone.
Not all change is bad. This is one company that has changed for the better.
I was reading about the back up help. I would like also to have some back up work.
 I am not getting anywhere near 12,000 lines this go around. My goal is 12,000 lines each pay period.
Feedback
I always get answers to my emails at SPI Healthcare Documentation.
