Guess I better start watching for it. sm
I sent in my papers last Friday.
I'm going to start watching this more closely also. (sm)
Do you think the lag will get worse as new accounts are added?
I was told by several actual Indiam MTs that they were trained by watching ER episodes and typing SM
as the show was aired. They were rated on their speed, not accuracy! He said that when he did start working, the actual reports were to be edited in the US, so accuracy did not matter. I found this shocking, although the best line rate there at the time was 2-3 cpl. His accounts that he was assigned in India were for many US VA hospitals He has since come to the US and works online for a major company, last time I spoke with him, he was getting 11 cpl. He must have been trained with one of the more complicated episodes of ER...LOL BTW, I did tell him that he should be an entertainment industry MT, he would probably make more money...
Anyone here typing the new acct that was to start this week?

Geritol anyone?
Take an iron pill and come on back swinging. We need help with all the new accounts we are getting. This is not management talking. It is an MT who thinks you can do much worse than OSI. Been there, done that.
Missy....are you blind?
You can't see the forest for the trees. Keep plugging away and you will find out just how much you are not appreciated and I hope it is not too late. You probably need compassion but you will find that it will not come from OSI. They have snakes in their heads and deep down don't care, they are just using you to better themselves.
Hi Missy! I'd be interested....
in getting more information from you about Golden Isles. Can you post your email address, please, so I can email you with more questions? Thanks so much! 
No vendetta with Missy Clay
And to the wacko who called me a wacko, there's all kind of people in this world. World be better off without you. Eat corn out of my durd. Signed Teresa Vanjipuda. I no take you crap.
Congrats missy!! (not granny)
I hope things go well for you. Now about the insurance question - pregnancy is not a preexisting condition. You are correct that Bush (or was it Clinton) changed that policy several years ago. I got pregnant in 2002 and had an individual policy at the time that I was no longer eligible for due to income guidelines. Fortunately, I was eligible for group coverage through my provider at the time and it went into effect 13 days before my baby was born. Talk about cutting it close.
I can't offer you much info in regards to places with good insurance plans as my husband carries the benefits now, but I thought I would chime in on the preexisting question.
As for the others on the board who are you knocking about being pregnant, some people just derive joy from making other people hurt. I'm 34 with 3 kids and had a tubal after my last. I wish now I hadn't and would love to have 1 or 2 more. I relish your opportunity.
Too Late! You are under arrest, missy!
 I be teasin'.
I'm afraid I'm 2 young 4 andropause, missy!
I didn't care 4 that crack, missy!
watching everything they do

You know what - I've been watching
FN posts now for a while - and I experienced nearly the same things myself years ago - the no work, the no answers to emails, the cherry pickers, the lousy QA and am watching someone else now who is being treated very well and makes me kind of wonder if they don't overhire and then kind of weed us out and see who will take what, etc. I'm going to have to watch this other situation and see what develops... interesting!!
Then we best be watching our backs
and socialism has really been around longer than we think because I was let go from a job in the year in approximately 1962 because of an abortion. That is right. Worked at a children's hospital that was affliated with a bigger hospital, went to the bigger hospital and was fired from the other. So I guess socialism is nothing new, right?
What is odd here is watching the MTers
busting a gasket because of their inability to work at VR. Anyone who cannot make money doing it usually say it is for slow transcriptionists when they know they are the ones who just cannot catch on on how to make a buck from it. All the companies are headed that way. I read people say I can transcribe over 2000 a day and then they say I cannot even do $100 a day with voice. I see everyone going elsewhere, going to work at McDonald's, going to have to pay them what they make at straight, aint gonna happen. I have 25 years and tired of working my fingers off, want to do the easy way now with voice.
trans companies watching
Funny story - several companies watch this board and feel they can use the information posted as a slander suit against those doing the posting. Funny thing is, all posting would have to be proven inaccurate and if they are not the companies spoken about, then why would they worry if it were them. If it is them, then they would also have to prove it was not true. Be careful posting, there are several who monitor and act as if they are one of you. As you all know the signon information, including what some feel are initials are usually an acronym or petname. You could be mistaken for someone else.
Most should probably spend their time making sure they keep their nose clean and their people happy. Not only do they drive us crazy in our professional lives, they have nothing better to do then to reach into our personal lives as well.
Trans. cos. watching board
Not the least bit worried. We enjoy a fair comment privilege to state our opinions, and we can make assertions and tell our experiences. They have no leg to stand on. I think their threats to initiate *slander suits* is hilarious, and ironic since MTs are the ones being acused of being sue-happy. If any of you transcription companies are monitoring this message right now, take this: You're a pathetic, crooked company, you cheat your MTs and your clients. Now try to find me!
I have been watching this KS bashing and hope that it never happens to sm
my company. You are horrible, bitter, miserable people who seem to have nothing better to do than throw in 2 cents that mean nothing. I am apalled at the childish behavior of adults and profassionals.
Long distance? All of my 32 of my employees have to provide unlimited long distance or be local to Atlanta. They all have either cable digital or Southern Bell and no one complains as it is not very expensive and does not really add to their regular phone bills.
If you want more than 0.06 per line, you have to be willing to give and take too. MTSOs are here to make money too and I think you would be very surprised to see that we do not make as much as you think, maybe even less than some MTs.
I've been watching for years now - sm
I'd say you are correct. Lots of companies I've never heard of and most of them seem to be IC. You never see any of the big MT companies on here anymore it seems.
I personally would never take a chance on an IC job unless I knew someone who was already working there and actually getting paid.
yeah, they are watching and people take the bait

Don't be watching and waiting. Been there for years and never any type of acknowledgement...nm

Oh brother
This is sad, when they cannot even spell things correctly in an ad.
It isn't even run my MTs. The CEO and his brother
are in it for the $$, but have never transcribed a day in their lives and don't have a clue about the business. Unfortunately they hire management who also don't have a clue, despite having some knowledge/experience with MT.
brother!
you forgot to put in there after your long novel, not to toot my own horn or anything. Please, spare us.
OH BROTHER
Someone has something NICE to say for a change about their company and they want to tell the rest of us about and you guys have to act like jerks! Maybe she wanted to tell all about DR and how nice they are. Maybe you guys can't handle the fact that your companies did give you a bonus? I think some people are jealous and are handling it BADLY! You guys only want to hear the bad, negative, gossip about a company. Only then are you happy. What a shame.
Merry Christmas OP and God Bless. Happy B-Day Jesus!
Oh brother....there is always one isn't there. sm
Grow up! 
Oh Brother
Here we go again. Float checks. Well, aren't we just little Ms. Perfect. I haven't had a bounced check in 16 years, so don't need to redeem yourself to me. I have a backup account in case my TT DD is not in on time, so I DO have a backup plan. As for communication, TT communicates better than ANY company I have ever worked for in the past. Maybe the lack of communication is on YOUR end. Have you ever thought about picking up a phone and calling THEM if you have a question. WOW...what a concept.
Here's what my brother-in-law said
I said, wow you must do a lot of digging... he said no that's what the Mexicans are for. So you tell me?
We had 3 bids for our landscaping around our pool at our old house. We picked the Mexican business and not only because they were cheaper, but they were smarter and they had better ideas. It took them one day, where others said it would take a week. So please, let's not go there. I would recommend this landscaping business we used to anyone and everyone. They were very professional unlike the pool installers who had to use my bathroom and asked me for soda, yes soda, not water, but they wanted soda!!!!
oh brother
These lines at TT are defintely more difficult to accomplish. Promise.
Oh Brother
YOU must be one of the ones that just wants to work on one slow account. There's plenty of work and a huge amount now. Stop being so lazy and work and passing judgment and saying things that aren't true on a company that you are obviously still with. Or you can always go elsewhere. Yeah, that's the ticket, go somewhere else.
oh brother...
One of my jobs is working for a nephrology clinic for 3 docs. I am the only one who types for them. Sorry, I'm valuable to them. I also do acute care combined with outpatient and rad. I suck at operative reports but love rad. There are others whom I work with love OPs but can't do rad. They are valuable with OPs, I am valuable with rad. Therefore, we are ALL valuable. Heller??
oh brother...nm

I bet you believe in the Big Brother theory too!
So you are saying that the moderator and administrator of this board specifically search through the posts and delete any negative posts about Transcend? They do this why? Why do they not do this for every other company talked about on this board? Please, add something substantial to the conversation!
do you do my sister and brother-in-law
really don't know what company it is - she says it is local - they are in Ottumwa.
Oh brother, how unprofessional are they?
Ask to speak to the QA supervisor and collect all the e-mails you are getting with conflicting ways to nit-pick. Show her the e-mails and tell her you are confused. You would be happy to do what they want, but you are being pulled in different directions. If she is not accommodating, look for another job. Who needs that grief?
That would be hear... oh brother...
then here... why did I even get out of bed today? LOL.
Oh brother. No, many MT companies will NOT
be using it because it is a ripoff & a one-third reduction in pay, unless of course you raise the line rate 33% to make it level ground again, and in that case, what on earth would be the point?! Sounds like someone could possibly be laying the groundwork to pocket a 33% bigger profit margin though... A couple of MT companies I know of have tried this in the past & have since gone back to paying a regular 65-char line with spaces.
The hospital I work just contracted to send our overflow to MDI. I've been watching as our SM
minutes slowly dwindle. Last meeting we had, we voiced our concerns about losing our work and Transcend/MDI outsourcing overseas, only to be told that administration is happy that TAT is being met and so they are going to continue to send work to MDI on a daily basis and we don't believe they are sending OUR work overseas.
My hospital is a prime account to be sent overseas, a medium-sized community hospital, three (count 'em, three) ESL who aren't hard to do at all with the resting being very good, very American dictators, easy to understand. No way would a service give this account to an American MT who could stand to make a good pay check doing this account.
I think the next step is to get rid of us all and send everything out. If that happens, that's it for me, I'm getting out of transcription all together. I know I definitely won't go to MDI for a job, like they would put me on this account where I could pull in 2000+ lines a day.
I've worked too hard all these years to be treated like my knowledge, skills, and education doesn't matter and to be paid peanuts for these skills I have worked hard to acquire, improve, and maintain.
I'm just really bummed today. My job future isn't looking too good right now. I hope I'm wrong. 
Bye Bye Birdie. Could you email me too. I've been watching the board and interested in your findi
since I also have been on the job search from you know where. I would be interested in any information you would want to share.
AMEN SISTER/BROTHER!!! nm
I agree. Whoever is responsible for this crappy platform and at the cost (I believe) of $1 million screwed up royally!!!
Well what is in Oldsmar, just the husband and brother?
The website and checks say the Palm Harbor address.

Dont know who died but Oh Brother has my vote.

My husband and his brother have a business with a small office that has 12 people in it.
I do the books for them. The electric bill is over $4000 every month. The lease is $5200. The phones are $3200. The list goes on and on with overhead, not including payroll, totally over $20,000 per month.
I respect that the company I work for has overhead and am grateful that THEY have to deal with it, not me. Otherwise, I would have started on my own.
Oh, brother. You "believe" she handed the phone to someone. Jeeze. You're so credible!
