Yes, but if you called off suddenly a couple times a month because you just didn't feel like

I used it a couple of times and liked it. nm

you used DAH a couple of times in this thread
you're just not willing to admit to your mistake
Been told a couple of times I would
get one, 2 months later still haven't.
My AC and TL have also called me many times not just ops
Like I said one AC is real bad about it, maybe you don't have the same one.
I've done this a couple of times in the past
I had specific questions regarding the platform and Expander program compatiblities, as well as how lines are counted among other issues. As the recruiter did not know the answer to these questions, I was given the name and number of the MT manager to speak with. At least one job I declined based on the manager's responses, not because I thought she did not handle the questions well, but found out enough to know the company was not what I was looking for.
On those occasions where I spoke directly to the MT manager, the companies were very impressed with my knowledge of both MT and word processing/computer issues and ended up wanting me to come to work to a greater degree than I feel they would have if I had not talked to the manager.
I don't think it would be inappropriate to ask. The worst that can happen is the recruiter says no and can't answer your detailed questions. In that case, that company is not a right fit for you.
I have the same problem and have to click a couple of times.

Read through old posts, discussed a few times the last couple of weeks. nt
Untrue. You posted a couple times on the Main board.
This looks like exactly the same thing you put there. What, you didn't insult enough people there? Come over to the company board to try to hurt more people who are worried about their incomes? Sick stuff. Get some help.
I believe I called this one about a month ago
Do I win a prize??????????
Saw it coming a mile away...
Hey, don't feel bad, many times it takes days for the company to ,,,,,sm
look through all the resumes and tests they receive, just believe in yourself, keep positive, keep applying to other good prospects, and it will happen for you. Good Luck!!
Called the labor board - LM overnited check after fooling around for a month or 2...nm

Not that I feel I need to defend myself, but I just passed my 2-month mark,
so you would be thinking incorrectly. I am a fairly new hire, but I do have 18 years of MLS experience. I must say, am baffled by your antagonism.
Didn't they post the same job four times
I would think that only one recruiter/owner would need to post for a transcriptionist, not four. The one was titled Police Reports, but then on the inside it was medical transcription clinic work. I'm not so sure about that one. 
It didn't when I worked with MQ, but that was a couple of years ago. SM
Instant Text works very well with DQS, though.
Didn't Spheris buy a co called Acusis? Now I see

Oops, sorry - I changed my name back three or four times but it didn't "take" nm

K-Force called me one day, 10 cpl and 40 cents/mile. I didn't take it, it was only for a few day

I didn't HEAR of it being over $500 each month..I see it taken out of my check every 2 weeks..(sm
$254 each pay period. I honestly hope you're right that the final paperwork was signed last Friday because I had decided to have it discontinued after the March 15 paycheck and either look on my own or go without coverage for a while until I find a more reasonable plan. The insurance itself is great but too high. I can't imagine how you are paying only $184 per month and I have been paying over $500 since December 2006 for single coverage!
Maybe they didn't call her/him for a reason. They called me on Monday and I start tomorrow! sm
I know a lot of people who work there and love it, and that says more than the Q. I gave notice to my PS at MQ 3 weeks ago to start at another company but they did not get back to me after repeated calls. KS sent an email, called me and I start in the morning. They already set up my computer today. I am glad I made the move.
With the attitude of the OP, they probably tossed her resume into a compost heap!
No, don't feel bad - I didn't pass the editing test, either, to my shock! ;) nm

Feel lucky you didn't get a rejection email. I have over 16 years experience
and this is the first test, since the very beginning of my career, that I have not passed. I am stunned. I'm not perfect by any means, but this is the first real rejection. I understood it early in my career, but after all this time, and working the past five years doing acute care for a couple of nationals, I get turned out by this company because I failed the test and they do not even tell you which part. I needed this job, but I guess it's back to the drawing board.
Oh, I couldn't understand them. I didn't try them all, but the first couple, I couldn't und

Don't you just LOVE the way job suddenly - sm
just go poof! out of your queue whenever it looks like a halfway doable one - and replaced STAT (think we won't notice) with a piece of s---. So tired of getting one piece of crap after another, while they get to pick & choose the best ON TOP OF THEIR HOURLY/WEEKLY SALARY! And we're stuck with 99% ESLs or other garbage. You KNOW mgmt. won't do anything. I confronted ONE lead & was rudely told, What difference does it make? You haven't even started on it! It makes a LOT of ------g difference when they're literally taking food off of our tables. And they have the power to do this -- even at the Q, we got routed 1 job at a time automatically -- if an MT was free, he/she got the next job that popped up, and if that job were to be rejected, we had to add a note as to reason. That's the only fair way to do it -- work should flow naturally - not a few selected holier-than-thou beeches selecting work THEY want to do and leave the manure for us to figure out. This would NOT be tolerated in an in-house/hospital job, not matter who did it. But we all know it's going to continue w/o support from mgmt. 
BECAUSE EVERYONE QUIT WHEN THEY SUDDENLY TOOK AWAY SPACES
 That is why there is an incentive. The manual for pay STATES by the 5th and by the 20th. LAST 3 TIMES NOT. Obviously, you got paid on time. Do not know who you know but no one else was paid on time. Try and get an answer why not TOO. Good luck seeing the incentive. You are dreaming.
Yeah, you guys sure got quite suddenly. nm

Whoops. I meant quiet suddenly. nm

Diwali 5-day celebration and suddenly there is more work
I couldn't afford to take a 5 day holiday!
Foreclosure doesnt pop up suddenly overnight.Why

Nope, suddenly no work at TT this morning
What is up with this???
Has anyone ever noticed from Amherst MQ there seems to be work in the account and then suddenly
it just strangely disappears. Any clue where it goes.
Why is work load at Webmedx suddenly low during peak flu/RSV season? sm
Accounts that were on OT for a couple of weeks now have single-digit jobs pending, not all, obviously, but most.
A lot of times, if they need extra help, they will over 1-1/2 times our regular rate. sm
This is the equivalent of OT but you get it even if you have not done 40 hours already. I have also received AmerExp gift cards a few times for incentives offered. I think it depends on the account.
I do know for sure that they are working on an incentive program but I have no details and not even sure if they are still looking at it.
I do know for sure that I make more $$ with Keystrokes than I have ever made anywhere else.
I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo

I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you. 
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
They have called me twice and I have not yet called them back
Per your recommendation, I just might. Thank you.
I called and called and e-mailed my STM. When that got no
results I went over her head. Got another account, but with 3 accounts still not enough work to get in more than 20 hours/week. I worked a shift that was part 2nd/part 3rd. Some days OT was offered, but then there wouldn't be work the next day.
I feel the same way. I'm irritable because I feel
and that my years of experience overall, and past few years of busting my @$$ for them hasn't been appreciated or noticed in the least.
We're all just cogs in the wheel.
No one called you a joke, just called the post a joke because
we all know better, but you're entitled to your opinion. You're the one insulting saying those of us who don't like SS probably couldn't cut it and that is the reason for our complaints. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who ever worked for SS to agree with you about how wonderful they are. They aren't getting new accounts, yet they always have an ad running - umm, let me think why that is.
I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.
A couple
Lee Perfect I believe and TTS. Try putting your resume up as well. I got a ton of hits off of here and another transcription job board and another job website. Not allowed to give you names of the sites though.
She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).
That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
Me too. I got cut off one too many times.

I can't tell you how many times....
this has happened to me! It's as if they either don't listen, or don't want to hear that you are only able to take X amount of work each day. Don't you feel taken advantage of? The only solution I've found is to leave the MTSO and keep looking for someone who will respect your requests. It's tough to bounce around like that, but I don't think your existing MTSO will change. Good luck.
I think so, although at times the
communication can be not so great. I don't know how many MTs KS has, though they seem to be growing so fast that the number is subject to change weekly, but there is still a small feel to it. The owner is fairly forthcoming with information, at least from what I have seen thus far.
Here are the times - SM
If your last name starts with the letter A through F: 10 AM
If your last name starts with the letter G through O: 11:30 AM
If your last name starts with the letter P through Z: 2 PM
You have said that 3 times...
Who are you trying to convince? If the hourly QCs were worried about quality instead of their own prestige and how much money they make, things might have been different....
Not at the times it happens. Not at all....
Anyone who has done this for a while knows that there are slowdowns around major holidays, like T-giving, Christmas, 4th of July. At my other companies, I did not run out of work on May Day, Cinco DE Mayo, Columbus Day...you get the idea. They overhire. Period. They have a right to do so. The MTs you lose due to that practice are the high producers with stellar accuracy ratings, not those who shall have trouble finding other jobs.
