MDI-FL/Transcend one and the same. Proud to outsource and not protect American MTs.
We have no job security.
Most of the companies out there outsource now.

companies who outsource
Do you consider Canadians being outsourcing? With all the Americans out of work does it bother you that companies hire Canadians?
3 of the top 5 are companies who outsource to India

Companies who outsource to India
Include All Type Transcription in the group that outsource to India; they won't tell you up front but if you do QA you will find out immediately; all the work from India have to be 100% re-listened and re-QA'd - I wonder if All Type realizes a profit from this, after all they are paying India and the US MTs (sounds like double your money spending to me)...just my opinion.
All Type management isn't easy to work with, either. The owner hasn't been an MT for over 10 yrs and her right hand has never done transcription; dontcha just love someone who has never transcribed and only worked in our field for less than 5 yrs, telling you that 100 reports (from India MTs) have to be QA'd daily keeping in mind these are re-listened 100% voice to text!!
Sorry for the rambling, evidently I needed to get that off my chest...LoL
Are companies that outsource allowed
to post job openings on this board? I thought they could not however PeopleSupport Rapidtext, Inc has offices in the Philippines. I was going to apply but now I don't think I will. If anyone can clarify this along with any information about them I would greatly appreciate it.
How about this? In a nutshell, which companies DO NOT outsource OFFshore?
Why do you think hospitals pay less for transcription companies who outsource or do VR?
These stinky companies do not want the hospitals to know that is what is going on because they charge the hospital the same rate whether it is a towel head or a machine typing their work versus a real MT. The transcription company just makes a bigger profit margin and finds another way to take money away from the MLS who live and work in the United States.
American companies will let you
work overseas as their employee? For instance, if you wanted to stay for an extended period in another country to visit someone but you can't afford to not work?
Doesn't this board not allow posts or ads by companies that outsource?
nnm
do you realize how many companies outsource without the client even knowing?..sm
an extremely high number. Do you think they can get away with this..absolutely. They advertise that the are U.S. based and higher some U.S. MT's and the majority of the work goes overseas. Wake up people, it's called business. It may not be proper, but these large companies are cut throat, particularly the overseas companies. They have struck a gold mine and they know it. Sad part is, they will always find U.S. MTs to keep the company afloat. Without the U.S. MT's busting their rears to produce quality work, these companied would fail. Why can't anyone get this? Ladies (and gentlemen), do not work for any transcription company who outsources work out of the country. Otherwise, this buyout situation will continue, and before you know it, there will be virtually no large U.S. transcription companies left. Unfortunately, we will only have ourselves to blame. Don't be an enabler!
Jobs being sent to India - good companies who don't outsource
I've been working for a company for a few years now. This company has started to remove several job types with greater turnaround times to India from our exiting accounts. There was not enough work over the holidays to get in all of my hours (I know work is normally slow then), and this trend is still continuing. We used to have a primary account and a secondary account as a back-up, but now I'm working on at least 5 or 6 accounts just to have enough work to complete my 8-hour shift.
American owned companies
I have a question hopefully will get some good answers. Are there any strictly American-owned transcription companies still left out there that do not outsource and are not partnered with oversea's companies? I would love to be able to find one. Hopefully they still exist.
Thanks for any help!
AMERICAN TRANSCRIPTION COMPANIES
My Dear Angelica,
In my opinion, USA transcription should stay in the United States.
American companies offshoring
The purpose is to hit the companies who are taking jobs from the US and employing overseas workers (killing our economy), not paying taxes on their profits like they should.
The administration wants to offer rewards/incentives for companies to hire US based workers by making them pay more taxes for sending work overseas, thus cutting short their windfall profits.
In other words, if you plan to continue to send US jobs overseas, you are going to pay for it big time. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY.
About time.
American Companies Who Hire Canadians??
Hi All,
I am getting very discouraged trying to find an American company who hires Canadians. Not just an American company, but a reputable one at that!
I'm currently waiting on a suitable contract with Accentus up here in Canada, but waiting is not a luxury I can afford.
Does anyone know of reputable American companies that hire Canadian medical transcriptionists?
Thanks in advance.
Jen
I agree. Big companies are killing the American dream
.
Companies that outsource to other companies?
Anyone know of any reliable companies that will outsource to American companies and pay a decent line rate? I am amazed at what the companies charge and then want to offer in this business anymore.
Do not outsource to India, outsource a small amount to Phillipines.

I think it was more directed
toward the person at the phone number listed. The ad said they would be available 24 hours until they had the positions filled. Phone number only, no e-mail address. I think it was to have this poor fella bombarded with calls. He was quite pleasant, so I don't think they got under his skin.
Sorry not directed at you....
Just trying to lighten things up a bit. Guess it wasn't funny. Still I do not understand what you mean. I work on Extext platform for another company and I don't notice any kind of lag. The only lag I experience is when my fingers are tired.
Was that directed at me????
because I have never worked for TransTech, nor have I ever bashed on them. I do work for Keystrokes and have never been happier. I was simply commenting that the fact that her job was threatened due to not making line counts was ridiculous.....geez.
I so agree with you. There's a lot of ANGER in many
to the anger that is raging among medical transcriptionists these days. We are all being RIPPED OFF by our employers, by our so-called 'industry leaders' (aka AHDI), by the hospitals that say 'we don't offshore... oh, no no', and then with a wink and a nod, close their MT departments and send their work to companies that SAY they don't offshore, but of course we ALL know the answer to that one (and so do the hospital CEOs..., they just think the patients will never find out.)
In order for anything to ever get any better, our anger will have to reach a boiling point, and when it does (and I think we're just about there), our anger needs to be consolidated and channeled into getting something done about closing all the financial loopholes, perks and rewards these people get for screwing us.
You know - posts like this do nothing but further anger (sm)
people in foreign countries against Americans.
I think your question is directed
to the wrong entry. This person is defending the company.
The comment was directed at
the 0.075 cpl, not the clinic note MT. Get over yourself already.
The anger is totally misplaced, though. First,
great! Who cares. There is obviously a need, and this subC is filling the need. The anger from MTs should be directed at the parent company who is using the subC group to handle work. That is the only scenario to me that makes any sense at all regarding anger. And that would be just the MTs from the parent company. If they have no work, as some company MTs are claiming, then it would make me angry, too, if I had no work, but my company was using a subC company for overflow. But in the cases where I have seen it used, at MQ, for instance, the overflow companies were vital and performed work and duties that the MQ MTs would not do, i.e. meeting TAT, etc. But to be angry at the subC company or their pay rates makes no sense at all. Lots of wasted energy and hatred, which is sad.
All you TT people are so anger and bitter! sm
She said she just found out she was pregnant so I highly doubt she is going to pop out a kid tomorrow! Explain to me how you are paying for someone to have a baby - that doesn't make sense to me? I am sure most of you have been pregnant at one point in time and needed maternity leave then. I don't understand why you are all taking out your bitterness on your fellow colleague.
So much anger, why not just move on to another company..
your fabulous attitude and skills are probably needed elsewhere. Why stay with a company you so vociferously hold disdain for? Some people just like to wallow and complain and do nothing for themselves.
Have you considered anger management?
I know your post wasnt directed at me
But I believe what you said you made. I also caught on very quick to MT, had a great account to learn on my first few years and pretty much went like gangbusters. I actually make less money now than I did then, simply because I seem to get lazier each year. LOL
If you type reasonably fast, have a decent account and actually work your set hours (unlike me), it's easy to make a good living. Of course, it's hard for all of these things to line up but when it does, it's a beautiful thing.
I don't think anybody's wrath is directed at workers
For the most part, it seems the barbs are going right where they belong- at management. The closest anyone has come to faulting the Indian workers themselves is the wage that they make, which they have no control over anymore than we do.
I directed comments to never worked on VR and those retired
I don’t think, therefore, this was meant for you, directing my comments elsewhere. Sorry your platform is bad and if you read my other postings you will see I don’t assume, tell others their's probably just not as good a system. I definitely am not an assumer.
Anger eats at a person and does not solve anything. You must be a joy to work with. sm
I also work for Keystrokes and based on a company-wide email that went out last night from the CEO, the OP will get some resolution. I personally love working there and that email just adds to my job satisfaction. I have made suggestions in the past that have sparked some changes, unlike the other big national I spent many years with. I like being heard, or at least listened to, and I feel that the owners and managers of Keystrokes really do have the best interest of the transcriptionists in mind.
Before I get blasted for this post, let me add that this is my personal experience and personal opinion. I know that not everyone has the same experience at every company and wish you all happiness in the company or companies that you work for.
If you anger the acct manager in this business, you may end up broke.
They call us teams - yeah, right. The games played by those in management positions can essentially hold an MT as a financial hostage, making their life a living hell. I am watching it right now happen with a coworker who stood up for herself and now? She makes 50% less than she did a year ago and is powerless to change it.
Our Newsletter I received today directed us to the new website
www.mditransnet.net- If you have any complaints/issue you can post on our private forum.
sorry, I made a typo in haste and anger, it is 'agreed', not 'agrred'..nm

Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm

JLG outsource???
Anyone know if JLG outsources? I asked their HR person and so far have received no response. Very suspicious about that.
JLG Outsource???
They have advertised on boards using their "Vianeta or Arrendale" software. If you search Google for Arrendale software, you will see that Arrendale and CBAY formed a partnership.... Check past posts on CBAY. What do you think?
Do they outsource?
nm
MDI does not outsource but they do
overhire. Not a bad company overall, just have to fight for work a lot of the time.
Outsource
Do they outsource now? If not, they're planning it, big time. Companies need excuses to outsource, main one being they can't meet demand. Yeah, drop that line req down, that'll do it! Care to divulge company name?
they outsource and their pay is low nm
.
Outsource
MDI does not outsource but they were bought by Transcend who has been sending work to Florida. Just an FYI.
Not an outsource
No everyone there worked from home. They also used Transcend for overflows. It was a good place to work, but dayshift was years away.
