Yes, it seems to be rather slow. The trainer said she loved it, though, sm

In Reply to: I agree Meditech is the pits. I was told it was - me
so I will hang there awhile longer. Perhaps I just do not know all of the tricks. I was told to wait 3 months before asking for any changes, so I don't want to rock the boat right off the bat. So far, everyone has been really great to me.
Thanks for your input -- glad to know I'm not the only one who is not fond of the platform.

Support very slow, had to train myself on platform. Trainer kept
p
Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
mt trainer
that's the point. no one got it. they ended up saying that the owner was too busy to do any hiring. I interviewed for it too. 2 weeks of my time for nothing.
What trainer?
Initials
Well of course the trainer is going to say
she loves Meditech, then if there is an issue it becomes your problem.
I do wish you well, but Meditech just doesn't get any better.
Well you said up above it was regarding the trainer position
and they wasted your time. Now you have a problem with the way the owner conducted the interviews? I work for this company so I don't like to see the owner knocked down.
My trainer is not so good.
I love the company, but I am not very impressed with my trainer.
Shannon T. is the trainer there
who trained me and another MT. Neither one of us worked there long; we had the same supervisor, GH. If you go with Milner and have Shannon as your supervisor, you might like working there. Shannon seemed like she'd be a good supervisor. She certainly was an excellent trainer.
Nah, the newbie had the best trainer...
including asking to work OT without recording...I have already seen it. She is definitely a keeper! Only those who refuse to do so are fired or made to be miserable so they leave on their own.
did anyone have to call MDI-MD trainer for their
Bayscribe training? They said if I didn't hear from them by 15 minutes after my scheduled time to call them. Its looking like I am going to have to call in about 5 minutes. Just wondered if this is common?
Is there anyone who works as a trainer? sm
I have been working as a trainer for well over a year. I have many, many years experience in MT and QA. I am trying to get information on what the average pay is for a trainer. Thanks for any info!
Told by trainer. But you're right
I have to call again. I'll have to get on the phone and call tomorrow morning nice and early. 
The trainer didn't email you?
My trainer sent me an email letting me know that my computer would be arriving and to confirm when my training would start.
In the email, she gave me my user ID and password to log onto the computer. This is so I could set it up and make sure the internet was working properly before calling the specified number.
Maybe they don't do that with everyone? I don't know.
I am interviewing for a trainer position. What would
you ask for per hour? I will be training all new employees on the software that the company uses. Thanks for any input. Yes, by the way, I have been with this company for several years but not sure what to ask for in this position. Thanks!!!
I have been contacted by a trainer in the US already. Still unsure about this.
They said they would overnight the pedal. Still unsure if I should change jobs. Yikes! If anybody could suggest a safer bet that would be appreciated too. Thanks for your feedback!
CMT trainer for MT course on job seeker's board?
Now they want us to give out trade secrets to our international labor partners, aka Asian MTs? That's like training your successor before you know you are being fired. The indignities of this profession are piling up....
How is the trainer, team leader or regional mgr
They've already said that it could be months, maybe even into next year, before all the problems can be fixed. Why would the team leaders or trainers have answers that the technical team doesn't even have, and if they do, why haven't they fixed it for everyone??
I'm doing okay at MW after 2 months. Didn't have the trainer screw-up that you had. TL and QA

Winnie you're a great trainer
You're at Medware right? A lot of former OSI'ers have gone to Medware.
They usually give you an appointment with your trainer once your stuff has arrived. nm

I loved it loved it loved it - sm
when I was working at a hospital in St. Louis, they used Chartscript, and I was paid by $0.09/line - I would average 2200 in 7 hours!! I learned it in 10 minutes and was well on my way
oh how I loved YOG...
just thinking back on that company makes me feel a homesick kind of feeling.
: (
LOVED this job!!!!
I worked for this company about two years ago and LOVED the job. I eventually had to quit though because of a family situation. The owner is very nice and helpful. There were a lot of times she was extremely stressed out because of everything she had to do each day, but I never found her to be rude or pushy. If I am ever looking to get back into transcription, she will be the first person I go to for a job! 
LOVED the job!!!
I worked for this company a while back & loved the job. I say to anyone out there reading the same rubbish I did, use your own judgement about a person/job and don't let bitter faceless people influence you otherwise - and THEY talked about being rude?!!! If I wasn't forced to give up the vet op work (family reasons), I would never have left! New clinics kept opening every year, and the owner always did her best to keep me informed and made my job as easy as possible! Some people prefer to work for large transcription companies, but I prefer to work for smaller companies, where you are recognized as being an indvidual that is an IMPORTANT member of the team.
Yeh, right. She was rude to you AND THEN offered you the job? Come on! It sounds more to me like you stunk on the easy test and are bitter about the results! 
We truly loved MDI-MD
I think all the anger you're seeing from MDI'ers is because we really WERE led to believe that MDI was a very solid, responsible company that took great interest in their MTs. And in fact, this has always been true. I have NEVER had a complaint with MDI and have truly valued my job with them. When I was hired, their ad said they were looking for people with 10 OR MORE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!!! I had never seen such a high-level expectation in an MT job ad before, which is why I applied. And they maintained that level of competence throughout.
So this acquisition comes as a genuine shock to all of us, more of a shock perhaps because I think most of us have had a very good personal relationship with MDI.
It may be that this Transcend acquisition will NOT be quite as horrible as we all think, and I hope it isn't, but either way, the fact remains that our relationship with MDI will change and eventually disappear, and we're quite sorry for that. I loved this stinkin' company and respected it, and I'm sure my fellow MDIers did too. But life is about change kids, so away we go.....................!!!!
I LOVED Medrite!
I was a lot more productive on it than on DQS. It was a lot more user friendly as well. DQS is set up for VR, not for the lowly MTs.
I loved working at TC (sm)
and every time someone from TC calls me to see whether they should jump ship, I always recommend they stay because you're not going to find much better anywhere else. And I'll tell you the same thing I tell them - if I had a choice, I would have stayed with TC. I was there for 3-1/2 years and loved almost every minute of it. Good pay, great accounts, etc.
I loved #4 and #8. Where do I sign up?
I loved that acct too....
Typical M-Q then one day it just vanished.
Me, too. I loved YOG, and the accounts I had. Oh well. nm

If you loved it, why'd you leave? nm

Loved your post too...
We should pick this up on the FL state board. Hope to talk to you there.
i LOVED alltype.
loved the manger, etc. only thing i hated was Chartscript.
It has been a while, but I loved working for them. sm
Although pay was on the low side by a bit, it was nice to have the same doctors every day. You could build macros, etc and speed through the work.
don't know how GSI is but i worked for EMS. loved it there. sm
email me if you want more info.
I would have LOVED to work for them.
I applied once and they were very interested, supposedly, but again I had to train for 2 days in North Jersey. I just cannot do that - I am way down at the other end of the state and just cannot do. I was really disappointed, though, as they seemed like my dream company - I have never taken more than 1/2 hour to learn and master any system, any platform. They never even offered me the option to train at home - oh well.  I was hoping my 25+ years experience might help, but it didn't. I wonder why they only occasionally offer training at home?
CC was the best! I LOVED working for her. sm
Just was never the same after she got promoted. She was the best supervisor I ever worked for. I don't work for OSi anymore, did twice over 7 years. Probably not again.
I loved working for them.
Pay was very nice and they left me alone to work. Sometimes they can be difficult to contact but overall a thumbs up.
Loved The Way You Replied!
I know this is days after your discussion but just saw your post. Laughed out loud at the way you replied to the previous comment about better rate. Guess it was just one of those moments that I needed a good laugh.
LOVED MEDWARE
I absolutely loved working for Medware. I had to quit due to personal reasons, but they said that they would hire me back whenever, and believe if whenever comes around, I will be back. Wonderful people to work for.
I loved Futurenet.
still have contacts there, too.
Loved FN but never enough work. NM

I always LOVED the IBM Selectric...sm
Didn't you just love the feel of the keys and the sound of tap-tap-tap! I loved having different fonts balls to use for different projects.
The 80s were the days, for sure! Back when word processors were paid for their skills!
I truly loved Axolotl and (sm)
kick myself everyday for not keeping up w/ my line counts. I was let go last May because of the low productivity, but for over 3 years my acuracy rate was very acceptable. I was good at what I do, just not good at producing it fast enough. The platform is very MT friendly and pleasing to the eye and the IT staff is extremely knowledgable about Lotus Notes. The editors and mentors are always ready to answer a question (no matter how stupid you may think it is), and they are quick to remedy any situation.
I was unemployed for 7 months following Axolotl and recently started with an established company. I'm sure I will like this company as well; I'm pretty easy to get along w/ and quick to learn; but I'd love to be able to say I am an Axolotl employee again (I'm still too embarrassed to show my face there).
If you are looking for one of the better companies to work for, Axolotl is your best bet. But, just like all companies, numbers are the bottom line: You pride yourself on producing 'acurate transcription', but if you can't produce 'fast and acurate transcription', move on.
Me too....loved YOG and being a pet....purrrrrr!! nm

I LOVED hearing this!
And I love the idea of people being made to pay for their own foolishness and cheapness! Serves him right!
But, what makes VR seem like a good idea is that when it does not need to be on constant life support and works just a LITTLE better, an employer still gets our expertise as editors for a fraction of what we used to be paid as MTs. And many of us believe the propaganda put out by our MTSO that, sure we'll take a 50% or more cut in pay, but be able to do 3 times as many lines, so the switch will be a GOOD thing and bring us more money. They have to try to sell us on the win/win scenario because otherwise nobody would give it a chance.
Ha, ha - loved that "ew"- tee-hee
C-phones have icky sound quality too.
Loved your assessment (sm)
I think some of these companies who outsource to India do get complacent about what rules they need to follow, since it's pretty much anything goes in India, as long as you serve them dinner on their shift. Spheris bought out HealthScribe and I can assure you that HS sent a significant portion of their work to India. They had a lot of accounts done over there including OHSU, Oregon Health Sciences University. When OHSU started getting suspicious about the quality of the work (it looks like it was done by someone who doesn't understand the English language), they flew the CEO of HS out to Portland to promise with his hand over his heart that their work was absolutely, positively not going to India....but it was....and probably still is.
I too have loved MDI for years now but something has definitely changed..sm
I have always had plenty of work and suddenly little to none. Very frustrating especially when emails trying to get answers or resolve the problem result in nothing. Up until now I have had no complaints but I can't live on what I am able to barely make now.
loved your last line - givingthemwhattheypayfor..nm
