The title was something like
'EMR Scribe' or 'Medical Scribe' or some nonsense.
The title should say "I wish." nm

What is the storyline title to the article?

Title: TRANSCEND QA Position
Can anyone tell me what the QA staff (team) is like at Transcend?
I’m thinking about applying for a position but want to know what the quotas
for QA are, and approximately how much of the total volume is ESL? The
good, bad and the ugly are all welcome!
Thanks
I think the title of post set people off...
tell your ex-coworker: no, you do not know of anyone hiring; if she asks again, tell her the same thing. Be thankful she did not ask to use you for a reference; then you have a problem.
It's TRX...the OP listed on the title of her post
The name is in the title - DICTATION BY PHONE (nt)

You are right. I am going to implement this title immediately. Thank you very much! nm

I understand even less now. MQ does not have the title of "proofer" either! No editors and no
proofers! Just makes me wonder who you really are. No offense, but a long time ago lots of lawyers were fishing for info using questions like yours. I've been with MQ for 14 years, in a lot of "titles", and never heard 1 office having proofers! Not one of our job descriptions! As for retroactive pay, I have never heard of that either! So guess I'll just exit now, as obviously cannot help you!
It's a mythical title created by the AAMT to get yet another fee out of us
Ask any doctor what a CMT is. They have never heard of it.
Well, there ya go.
I think it's just the fact that she is posting under a false title
NM
I would suspect that with the name Global in the title, its probably India...dunno though.

Medical language specialist is a title made up by MTs. The truth is...sm
...we are transcriptionists. Our job is to type what the doc/PA/nurse dictates. Look at a court reporter; she can call herself a legal language specialist or a juris stenographer or whatever else she comes up with, but her job is to provide a transcript of WHAT IS SAID in court. She is not changing anything, and nobody expects her to. In fact, if she did, there would be huge repercussions!
Same for closed captioning transcriptionists. What is said goes in the ears and out the fingers, no changes.
The difference between us and them is that we deal in medical language.
My title and my job is medical transcriptionist. I have also been a transcription editor. If the account says type verbatim, I do just that, and it matters not to me if the doc ends the sentence with a preposition. I'm here to provide a hard copy of what he said, not make him look like he went to charm school. If the doc/site/account/client decides the charts look foolish, they are free to allow me light editing privileges for the sake of clarity.
If you want to correct someone else's words, become a copy editor.
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

What really sucks is that I looked for a LONG, long time -sm
before joining DRC - wanted a highly reputable, not-too-big co. that was LOCAL, and that treated its MTs humanely. I'm very happy with DRC & had planned to stay with them permanently.
Long, long history of not paying...and
similar posts have been made here in the past few months. Everyone thinks they will be different, and then they end up coming back here to warn others that they don't pay.
but those were long, long lines for
most of the reports. You could make more with a 65-character line count.
anyone who has been in the biz long enough should know sm
that summer time is usually slow. This has been my experience, anyway. I'm glad I gave MQ a chance, it's worked out wonderfully! 
How long ago were you with them?
And how long did you stay with them? Thx.
well it was certainly not that long ago.
This is just the truth. I think people should be aware of things that have happened. She probably won't have any problems, but it does happen.
How long did it take
after submitting your resume before you heard from them?
Thanks. May I ask how long ago that was
and possibly why you left, issues with company?
how long have you been there.....
are they going VR? How long did it take you to get used to the platform and make decent money after training? Do they doc your pay for mistakes? How is QA. How many lines can you do there a day and is the work consistent, i mean really consistent? Has there been anything that you don't like, if so what? thank you so much
How long have you been with TH?
Can you give specifics on thier benefits?
How long
have you been working for them? IC or employed?
how long ago was that?
Was it recent or before their personnel adjustments?
How long have you been with them?
nm
been too long for me
it has been months, at least two. i guess i should give up.
that should be not, rather than now. Long day. LOL.

Wow, that's not long at all. nm

You were not there long enough to get (sm)
picked on. Lucky you!! Believe me those people are crazy!!
Not for long....
oh yeh we do if you have been around here long enough
.
How long did the FBI take for you.
I just want to get working. Thanks
I'm not sure how long it took,
but I started no later than 2 weeks after all my paperwork was signed and sent in. So I don't know if they finished the background check before I started or not. About a month later, I got a notice from the DOT notifying me that they checked my driver's license records, but that's the only info I got back.
I also have to agree with several posts above about the comments about being a hospital employee. I also was hired as an employee of the hospital, and yes, the process is a little more involved, but it was no more involved than when I was hired for an inhouse position at a local hospital. It is just the hospital's requirements. Diskriter did pay for everything and I have no indictation whatsoever they they sold my info to telemarketers.
The pay is average, but I also agree with the poster above that it is offset by the fact that you are working on only one account, plus the benefits are better than any national out there. I am making more $$ than in my 15 years of MTing than I ever have (45K+).
Oh, another plus is that they do pay an hourly wage for downtime (system problems, no work). This is also a big plus in my opinion.
Good Luck. 
How long have you been there? nm

how long ago was that?

RE: Going On Too Long
I need to find a new IC job. To make a long story short, I work for a very small local company as an IC (just 3 transcriptionists). I guess the reason why I stay is because it's so flexible. I can work in the morning, have the afternoons off and then work again in the late evening when my daughters are asleep. I have 24 hour TAT. I'm supposed to be paid on the 1st and 15th of every month. For the last two months instead of the 1st and 15th, I've been getting my paycheck on the 13th and 28th if I'm lucky. Right now I'm still waiting for my check from the 1st.
Again, I know I'm crazy to stay, so you don't have to say it for me, but this is my first IC job and I'm a little scared to leave.
I guess what I'm asking is do you know of a good company that hires IC that use lines rather than hours or is flexible with hours so I can try to keep my same schedule? I know there have been a lot of posts in the past about this, but I was hoping for some recent information from someone who works for a good company.
I'm just so frustrated at this point.
How long ago where you at WMX? sm
Been there 4 years and we have only had 1 male supv during that time, and he is the best MT supervisor I've come across in 20 years as an MT. 
not too long
I applied late one evening to a job they had posted last month. They called me back that morning and the next day offered a position. I have been working for them for 3 weeks now.
We have a long way to go on that...
And it isn't MTs/Editors/or Recruiters specifically, but A LOT of MTSO's hold us back from being completely professional. However, in a different view, a lot of us are housewives, moms, etc. and do this job because it is laid back and sometimes we just simply are NOT in the mood to be professional!! If I wanted a career like that I would have gone to law school, gotten in to advertising, or some other career where you dress in something other than your pajamas with your hair a wreck LOL. There are a lot of ways to look at this career and that makes it different than other careers. Therefore, I doubt you will ever see the level of professionalism you are looking for. Be happy with what you see in these people. Most of these jobs pay no more than working at McDonalds and you certainly do not see professionals in there. That goes back to the MTSOs...pay more and you will have that.
I guess the AAMT think they have that professionalism covered and I agree..they are professionals at making up stuff and making money off it...KUDOS for them; however, it makes them NO different than the majority of the MTSOs. You know, the ones charging rental fees etc. Well if I wanted to do that I would have gone to beauty school spent less money and rented a booth at a salon.
How long?
Can anyone who works for Transtech tell me how long it took to get your test results? I tested last night and I'm wondering how long before I hear from someone at the company.
Thanks.
Thank you! Have you been there long? nm

Well, as long as another MT. sm
Or a couple of MTs continue to do the jobs that are kicked around management does not care. It makes one feel well if they can get away with it, so can I and I am stupid to continue to take all the hard stuff.
How long does this take? (SM)
Thanks for answering. How long does this usually take? I returned everything over 3 weeks ago.
How long?
Sorry, it took so long to respond. I was off yesterday for my anniversary. I have been with DSG since December 2004 and love it! I know that not every company that works for me works for everyone else. I just am very pleased with the communication, work, feedback, and timely/good pay. I would recommend them to everyone to at least try. The gang there has been very helpful to me and very understanding and flexible during a recent health problem that required missing a great deal of work. I had other people in my chemo group who actually lost their jobs due to the missed time and some who were made to feel so uncomfortable that they ended up quitting. So, I really appreciate my job with DSG!! I can only tell you my experience and that I know of several MTs who have been with them as long as I have if not longer and are very happy there! God bless in your search/decision!
SPI -- How long . . . .
 How long after testing with SPI until they let me know if I passed or failed? Just wondering . . . do any of you know?
How long have you been doing this?
