and I think you'd be very happy should you decide to take a position with them. It has been a long time since I have encountered such caring people as an employer.
And thanks for the compliment on my baby. Maltese doggies are cute too. (And no, this isn't the right board for such things but what the heck.)
Good luck!

Was not impressed
I was offered a position with them but turned it down. I had 3 different people contact me from them. I had at first accepted the position and they told me the packet was mailed out that I would need before starting. I never did receive the packet and it all seemed very disorganized. I felt like if they couldn't even get the packet to me, what would happen with my check?
I was not impressed
The recruiter was strange. She didn't appear to know how to hold a phone interview. There were a lot of blank pauses in our conversation. Even though I have 20+ years of experience, she decided not to hire me because I made the mistake of telling her I was keeping a small part-time on the side transcription job I have had for 14 years. Also, the pay was not great. I would not recommend them.
Wow I'm impressed!
5.5 is really good for VR. Most companies only want to pay 3-4, although TT pays 4.5. Who do you work for? Just curious.
I am so impressed with your skills
not- you sound like you are the only 1 who does well on VR, making you faster and better than most so you say. Did you break your arm patting yourself on your back?
I am very impressed with the job posting for the
non-medical Transcriptionist on the job seeker's board. While the pay is very low, at least this person is up front in what they are looking for, seems to be honest and even offers to go that extra mile by allowing you to chat with one of their other ICs. Wish other MTSOs were this *transparent.*
I am so impressed. What a refreshing change. Thank you!
I've mentioned before that I was impressed
I made it partially through training and my Mom passed away; so I had to postpone. Once I went back a few weeks later, unfortunately, the schedule was not the same, but I do not hold that against Transcend. The recruiter was very understanding and they wanted to give me another chance, but it was due to the workflow. I would HIGHLY recommend Transcend. They are the only ones I have dealt with as far as nationals go that were very communicative and very, very understanding. There will always be bumps, but if you have the big tires the bumps don't hurt as much! HAHA! Anyway, nice people, nice place!
I am blown away and impressed at the responses from the MDI MTs. sm
I don't think Transcend was expecting all this anger. The company I was working for also was bought by Transcend and with the last two company purchases we basically believed the lies and comforting words and just went along. I have seen several managers leave after telling me it would get better. I am sure they are wondering what all this is since they did not get this kind of flack before you all. WAY TO GO!! I am so sorry you have to go through this though.
Wow! I'm impressed. You NEVER have to use reference material? Amazing!

Was going to work for them, but was NOT impressed with their lack of professionalism!!

WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone

Yeah, I talked to them about a month ago and wasn't too impressed. sm
They told me pretty much the same thing, 2nd and 3rd shifts only. I said no thanks. Didn't sound like the kind of company I wanted to work for. They sounded an awful lot like MQ which sent chills down my spine.
Nope.. never heard a word, which is fine by me. I'm never impressed when they never even contact
you hear how rude and unprofessional they are. Normally, I would not give any credibility to hear-say but all of this has to make me wonder. No skin off my nose. I tested with other companies and got called back within 24 hours.. Now, that is how a company should handle it..
If your impressed by bad communication and erractic work flow then it's the place for you..
I know a lot of people who have been there longer than a few weeks that have a lot better insight on MDI-FL and it's not a great review. Yes, the people are nice but is about it.. Nice unfortunately does not pay the bills or stop you from being frustrated because no one answers your emails, well I should say, in a timely manner, and if it is a money-related question like raises etc.. FORGET IT.. you will NOT be getting an email back on that one but you do get one telling you that you need to train on another system, which requires a C-phone, and one in which you had no desire to be placed on, or you lose your benefits. When people sign up to do accounts that are internet-based, it is for a reason. C-phones are a pain in the you-know-what..and then you find out that the account you were hired for is dried up most days, then you are told that you need to do another account that requires the C-phone or you will lose benefits. Thanks but no thanks..getting old.. but truly best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
So the company you're with now....sm
1. Pays more per line and has better benefits.
2. Doesn't send work overseas and never ever ever will.
3. Always tells you how much you're appreciated.
4. Never says a negative thing about anyone or anything.
5. Always tells the employees what the current and future business plans are.
Correct? If so then tell everyone where you work so we can all apply for jobs there. 
Is the company you're with IC or SE? Thx much! NM

I think perhaps you're confusing them with another company?
They pay extremely well - higher than any other company I've been able to find.
i think they're a great company!

I know a company that pays for 5 if you're off.

I wonder if you're working for the same company as me - nm

They're a good company
I've been an IC with them since November last year. I'm on a clinic account, so the work was slow around Christmas and New Year's because the clinic was closed, but otherwise, the work is plentiful throughout the week. Good company - good people. QA is really great to work with. They pay right on time and are very accurate.
I'm sure they're a fine company, but
with little kids at home and starting college classes in January to get out of this dying field my big worry is the employee status. I can't punch a timeclock. I'll look for a new job before that happens. I'm sure all their management is good and it is a decent company, but for me it comes down to employee status and set schedules. Can't do it.
wondering if you would e-mail me the name of the company you're with and TIA. nm

If you're so paranoid find another company
you type a character and leave the rest of us at Transtech alone. Thank you.
Good company, for sure. Find one where you're SM
consistently safe from overhiring--and then come back and give all the rest of us the name. In the meantime, for me at Webmedx most days have plenty of work, although some days require adjusting my schedule during the day to the work flow.
You know, evolving electronic capabilities and patient needs have now led hospitals--our employers' clients--to expect the very quick turnaround needed. Years past have taught home MTs we can work when it suits us. Is it any wonder that MTSOs are currently doing their best to deal with these realities by overhiring when needed? Webmedx is trying to stabilize this situation to everyone's benefit--economic at least for us--by pushing its MTs to meet our commitment of hours per week while still allowing some flexibility.
I'm MsIndigo and I approved this ad. :) Best wishes whereever you land.
I also work for a company in Florida and we're running
low on work, just within the past 10 days. I know it's due to the hurricane though. My main account was in New Orleans and just isn't dictating and won't be for a while, I guess. They didn't dictate each day but when they did send work about 3 times a week, I could work for 2 straight days w/o running out of their work. I type a lot of lines each day and for me and the others on that account, we are now on our secondary and third accounts which takes takes work away from others.
QT Medical is an awsome company and seems to be what you're looking for, from what you've said

You're describing p.r.n. status, not IC. You need to look for a company who hires sm
p.r.n. MTs.
If you're not afraid to hide, then tell us who you are so we DON'T apply to your company!!!!
AND, if you don't NEED us for anything, then why are you HERE!! Go away!
All the old reviews say they're horrible. Listen to those MTs and choose another company. nm

If you're that upset about it, do what I did and work for a company that doesn't outsource

you're pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel with that company

And you're okay with working for a company that sends most of its work to India and
whose workforce is predominantly Indian? You're okay with the loss of American jobs, the falling recession we are in and the falling economy due in big part to the offshoring of American jobs? How okay will you be when you lose your job to an Indian and you have to apply for food stamps and unemployment?
Sell-out MTs like you are the reason good MTs cannot make a decent wage anymore, why good MTs cannot find a good job anymore, and why sweats shops in third world countries are thriving. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Focus Infomatics employs 800 American MTs and over 3000 Indian MTs. Tech support is in India. The company itself is still run by the same Indian man who started the company and sold out to Nuance. He made a bundle when he sold and he is still making a bundle running the company while he pays his own countrymen and woman peanuts! He's selling out his own people and you are selling out yours! On second thought, I guess you belong at Focus with your own kind!
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.
You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.
Not the OP, but they're supposed to take out all the other taxes as you're an employee with th
s
No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.
ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.
Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!
This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)

If you're an IC, you pay all your taxes. Otherwise you're an SE or employee. nm

If you're PT you're required to work
8 of your hours in one weekend day. There's no extra pay for it though.

We're not 'so scared' of it. We're trying to help
you to not make a huge mistake, but I guess you're determined to learn the hard way, so good luck with that.
If you're in the 37% tax bracket, you're making over
100K per year. Quit complaining.
You're right on it! They're just trying to cause panic.

they're desperate because they're sm
driving away all their employees with the horrible new changes they're implementing. It's a mass exodus, and they couldn't keep up with their work load before all the departures.
We're glad you're gone too.
The more people that quit, the more work left for me. I love it when people say they can't take doing MT anymore.
Well, i hate to tell ya, but if you're an IC, you're
