get the leftover junk. Worked for them for 6 months recently, loved it at first except I wasn't getting enough work. 1000 lines one day, 200 the next, 75 the next. Kept asking for more work but never got it. Fortunately I didn't quit my job with Medquist and still had that for backup. Finally left last November.

Yep, bad stuff is sometimes good
and good stuff is sometimes bad. A couple of times I've really wished for things that eventually came true and they were definitely NOT in my best interests in the long run. (Thinking of one guy in particular.) It's hard to be philosophical when you miss out on something you felt you wanted or needed, but time often proves this was the best thing. Wish the best for you.
Lots of stuff in the achives, nothing good.

Maybe their supervisors give them the good stuff on
complain to upper management or HR, you get ignored because the supervisor always covers herself with lies and/or using TAT as the excuse. Sit on that TAT and rotate.
Do a search. Lots of recent stuff--good and bad. nm

zylo
I work for them and it is a great company. It took a few days after I got my foot pedal for the IT person to call me. Don't jump ship yet. Give it a try. What service are you going to do?
I think it's that services only get the overflow & the garbage anymore. All the good stuff is kep

I've been looking for years. It's always a mix anymore. Good stuff gets kept in house. nm

Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
zylo platform
I should clarify - I did not work on a rad account, it was oral surgery. Still, I doubt the platforms are much different, and the pay was not good.
Really, really liked zylo until QA problem
Worked for the about a year ago for about 6 months. I made decent money, always direct deposit as promised, had pretty flexible time frame, had exactly what other poster said, clinic notes, had everything set up in shortcuts and templates. Same account, same docs. If the the new QA had been willing to answer some questions I had about losing work without any warning I would still be there today. They are a good company, I just happened to clash with one person. They use MT World which is a terrific platform You can use your own shortcuts etc. (I could, I use Smartype) and it worked out superbly. If you can get the platform working, the foot pedal working, and manage to work with a decent QA it's still my first choice. They won't take me back because I vented an opinion here on the boards at the time and someone saw it and let me go after that. But otherwise, I totally enjoyed working for them. It's worth a shot. Best of luck to you. I think you'd like MTWorld platform a lot better than Keystroke's platform, unless it's the Escription you'd be working with.
Scroll down a week or so. Tons of good stuff. Great company

Keep searching. All the good stuff is kept in house now. If you snag Op reports out here, they're

Left Zylo in November. Loved it at first, but
not enough work to maintain 800 lines/day to qualify for employee status. 1000 lines one day, 150 the next. Gave me phone notes which took 2 minutes to download, 8 seconds to type, 1 minutes to upload, and got 2 lines of dictation. 20 reports in 1 hour equalled $3.60. No one else would do them. Kept asking for more work so they switched me around several accounts, then had to learn new account, new supervisor and still not enough work. Finally left. I made $6000 with them as an independent contractor and now have to pay taxes on all of that.
Losing good employees
They are about to lose another one...I'm a long time employee and just can't take it anymore. I work on multiple platforms and still have no work and the work I do have is 90% ESLs. I went from about 20% to 30% ESLs to suddenly 80% to 90% ESLs. You tell me these hospitals have no American doctors? It must all be going to India but you tell me why the Indians are not doing the Indian doctors? Wouldn't that be easier for them? I have had no raise ever since I've been here. Always told I'm at the top of the pay limit. I'm giving my notice right after Thanksgiving.
Good company who employees nearly as many
a good company who always swore they would never offshore our work. Yup, good company. 1000 domestic MTs and 600 Indians. They make MQ look loyal to the US!
You must be one of the favorites, huh?

I do VA C&Ps at Osi...they are my favorites
O
Probably do have favorites at KS.
In fact I may have been one. I did work hard, but could not get my line count up. Then all of a sudden I was being watched by management. Everything I did was wrong all of a sudden after being there more than 1 year. They nitpicked my reports to death to make sure I had very low QA score. Now I had been doing the same work for 1 year. Why all of a sudden was I being persecuted and judged as an unfit MT. I am still wondering what happened. I think because I was not producing my line count, they found others who could and replaced me. I probably did about 800 to 900 lines a day, but still not enough. well I am trying to just forget all about it. No sense dwelling on something bad.
Truth about unions - good for employees
My huband is a union member. Union membership is voluntary, with it you pay dues, in exchange your union officials bargain with the company for fair wages, benefits, and pensions. A union signs a contract and during that time, the employees have job security. If there is low work because the offshore companies messed up or shipments didn't come in, it is their union that pays them subpay to compensate the difference between average earnings and unemployment if he has a week off. Also, we pay nada for health insurance premiums, only $10 for office visit, and $5/$15 for Rx, 0 for dental 50% for orthodontics, and $20 for glasses. Without the union supporting these workers they would have no ground to stand on with regard to pay and benefits and working conditions. Thanks to the union, if my husband works Saturdays its time and a half, Sunday are double-time and heaven forbid a holiday he gets paid triple time. When he retires, we keep the benefits and a nice pension. Unions are not all about the mob - I have family in chicago and it is not as you describe it. Chicago is a high crime area and it's not the unions that are causing the problem, it is the quality of people who work in SOME of the factories which are lower paying and the socioeconomic drive that results in shady business and your so called mobter and gangster life.
They definitely have their pets and favorites
and if there are any bonuses, good accounts, etc., the pets will get them all. Same with raises. Several people I know got raises, but not sure how they managed that other than being a pet.
Used to be decent bonuses on rare occasions, then Transcend came along and the whole company went downhill. Not a good place to be anymore.
I agree. Some of my favorites are ESL
And even for those that are at first it only takes some time before you understand them. They're actually quite entertaining, for the most part!
You're not one of their favorites
I heard that if they don't like someone, that's one of the ways they'll weed you out.
The only thing I know about no favorites is this sm
The company I work for has no favorites. They treat each and every one of us badly, no work, badging, micromanaging, threats and whining.
It is all equal mistreatment!
And I know that is not what you meant, but it is the way it struck me.
Play favorites.....
pay is good, but they still play favorites and some typists make off like bandits on cream of the crop dictators while the rest of you get the scum.
Huge turnover at OSi. They have lost most of their good employees and are
Me thinks this nutcase is asking and answering questions here hoping to get people to apply.
Check the archives here on OSi....bad news!!!
Any American Transcription Solutions employees out there? Good or bad. nm

Can you please be more specific regarding "play favorites?"
Can you please be more specific regarding "play favorites?" I used to work there and never had a problem with QA in general; maybe it depends on the account you are assigned to. Although, I do doubt the competency of management there and agree with the other post that you pratically have to "work like a horse" to make any money.
lol, 2, 6, and 9 are my favorites.:) Who is Johnny Depp?

SoftScript employees? Good money? Easy program? SM
I am interested in current information on Soft Script. Is it possible to make good money ($40,000 year/full time).
Is the programming easy?
Sound quality good? I was told it was good.
Thanks for all your help. Please email me if you wish. Thank you.
Would like to hear from recent WEBMEDX employees. Good/bad/ugly? (nm)
SoftScript employees? Good money? Easy program? SM
Although I realize this post is months after the original post, who in the world told you that MTs make $40,000 per year, especially at SoftScript? If you were talking to the owner (ewww!) or manager, they told you a bold-faced lie.
RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN......
Just curious
Don't need a crystal ball when R.C. is informing all her favorites with inside info
How do you think the information about the production management team was being let go before THEY even knew it?
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

stuff
you have to purchase about $1200 worth of their "proprietary" stuff.
What to do to get rid of that stuff:
Copy the URL address of the offending post then click CONTACT (on the bar on the right) and fill in the Admin email form. In the box, type what the problem is (cussing, vulgar language, blah, blah) and paste that URL. Ask them to remove it.
It's the cussing and vulgar stuff they want out of here.
Why do we put up with this stuff?
No paid holidays, and the list goes on. It feels like we should be '"greatful" that we get any PTO at all. Who are they kidding? Who do you know who works at home all the time, never done, and the beat goes on. I used to worry about voice recognition, now I think the best thing that could happen to me would be to have to find a "real" job, real bennies, real security (or reasonable facsimile), real paycheck, real time off, real paid holidays, real sick time, etc. We do way too much for way too little. I feel like the time I get at home because I work at home is not enough to pay back the every weekend, pressure, pressure, pressure, always behind, never type enough hassles. What pay is worth all that? Let's be reasonable, maybe 60K a year but I make half of that in a good year. And the more they tie me to the chair the slower I will be. So on it goes.....time to get real...
I have seen some really BAD stuff done by them yet they keep on going.
nm.
Most MTs already have this stuff except for maybe - sm
the C-phone which you can pick up for less than $200 on ebay. Also you can write off all these costs against your income and save a little in taxes which is better than nothing.
and T/U for doing the other stuff!

Bad Stuff?
Could it be that she was given multiple opportunities to improve her line counts?
I know for a fact that they will bend over backwards to help their employees and give them an ample amount of time to reach productivity standards. Yeah, giving someone 3 years is a bit much!!!
Why does one consider Axolotl a bad company because they require their MTs to produce 1200 lines during their shift, which is what is agreed upon at the time of interview and when the MT signs the employment offer letter? Because the MT does not hold up their end of the agreement, Axolotl is a bad company for not keeping them?
Again, if MTs want a job where they do not have to stick to a schedule and have a daily minimum that they have to produce, they need to go to a company and work IC. Axolotl is not the place for them.
If MTs want a job with awesome pay, great benefits, great editors, great platform and lots of work, then Axolotl might be for you. If the MT cannot type 1200 lines in a shift or maintain quality, it will not be a job for them. But I think this has been stated before in a lot of postings.
No bad stuff here
I really don't have anything bad to say about Transcend. they have been a great company for me, very flexible. In fact, any other company would probably not be as flexible as they have been. If you are struggling, they will work with you. They may outsource some work, but they are definitely not India. They are based out of Georgia. All of the team leads and managers are right here in the United States. IMO, one of the best and fairest transcription companies around.
I went through the same stuff
when training for Documed for a few days. they expected me to be 100% perfect on the first day with a 80%+ account. I was told to not do any more reports at this time. A week later no word, and I emailed back. ****, who is a real smart-aleck, emailed back and said we can't continue at this time. Well thanks for finally telling me, coward. Companies are real jerks sometimes when it comes to letting employees go. 
stuff
No HR department that I knew of. It's a husband/wife team, plus a couple lead supervisor/QA people, and a couple of other QA people. Husband rounds up clients, etc. Wife does initial interview. Lead supervisor trains for account specs. They use more than one platform, but the web-based one they pay a couple cents per line to that company to do the templates, etc.
They are really not worth all the hassle to try to get this resolved. I think this MT has already wasted more than enough time to account for the cost of the foot pedal or anything else. Call it even already.
I have not written any of this stuff
The secret to becoming a favorite at OSi will never be made publicly known, as there are plenty of people who consistently get at least 98%, 99%, or even 100% on audits, and are they rewarded for it? No. They aren't even told what they get because apparently their superiors would feel obligated to reward them. They just keep plugging away making the people "who hear it from the physician" look good while some of the QA team needs to be replaced for their holier-than-thou attitudes and their capacity to make crucial mistakes as well. The only way to grow and succeed with this company is not by being a model employee by being reliable and doing near perfect work without complaining - it is all in the hands of the powers that be, and what they look for, I sure as heck don't know, nor does anyone else not in the inner circle, 98% accurate or not. Why anyone would want to run a company this way is beyond me. Why not take the best assets you have - your employees - and use them to help your company grow, instead of playing these stupid games and giving people promotions simply because they have found a way to nudge into your circle? That is how companies succeed.
And to think, they get all of their stuff from CHINA!
whoa!
Same old stuff, same phrases. SM
Must be great to be able to blame the world for everything. You are a very angry person, you need to be on meds or something.
Yes, exactly. The picky nothing stuff
I have been reviewed now for 5 months; been in the "Exceeds Standards" percentage; and that is ridiculous anyway, 98-100%, etc.
I have been an MT for 25 years. Why am I being graded. We obviously do not know what we are doing. I thought I finished grade school along time ago.
