even happier to help ;-)

I would like to know too, found some stuff in archives (sm)
something about outsourcing to India, but I didn't see anything that was particularly current.

By the way, I'm looking at DTS America out of Brentwood, TN, I think?

nm, found several posts in archives saying
it was Magic version.

Found lots in archives. Thanks though!

I would like to hear about them also. I found nothing in archives at all. nm

Found the information in the archives, thanks (sm)

I called the phone number and it answers for Macro-Solutions. I also checked with the BBB and sure enough they have been in business for a long time and have an excellent rating BUT the contact name is different than the name given with the BBB, but that could be because it is the HR person posting the ad. I still think that something is fishy with it, who knows though.

DUH! Found my own answer

Thanks anyway! It is amazing what one can find on Google when one remembers to use it LOL

JLG - searched archives and only found 2004. I
could swear I have seen recent posts on JLG, but am afraid they must have been deleted. Any current info at all? Anything would be appreciated. Don't want to go from that BIG OLD FRYING PAN into the fire, if you know what I mean!

I found Medgarde, but read in the archives...
that they don't pay for spaces and make you pay for their platform. Is this still the case?

Searched archives, but found nothing recent on Q-Med... anything out there?
I've also asked before and got no replies so I'm trying one more time. Anyone know anything good or bad about this company? THANKS!

Found Answer in the Manual
Should've looked there first, but love the forum here.

I hope I live to see the day that our industry turns completely back to the way it should be - without somebody else making money off of our skills, training, and experience.

Anyone know anything about Charts in Time? Only thing I found in the archives sm

mentioned tons of bad ESLs and not enough work -- not too encouraging. Perhaps that has changed? Anyone working for them currently or know anything new?

Never mind my question, I found the archives on Focus.
What a deal. Are there no good companies anymore?

WEBMEDX - I found fairly favorable things about them in the archives..does anyone
know if they still pay by minutes of transcription rather than per line? I saw that in one past post. Would love to hear from anyone either via e-mail or post here if you work for them and are still happy? Thanks.

TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.

I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.

Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!

I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.

This is what I have found while looking for the right job - sm
I have one child still at home who will be going off to Kindergarten in a couple of years. I do not want to put my child in day care, so I need a job that provides an adequate window to be able to finish my work. I do 1000 lines per day, 5 days a week. I know that isn't a lot, but with a child at home with me during the day, that's the most I can do at this time. I have yet to find a company who will allow you to have employee status and flexibility with your schedule. Yes, you can generally pick your own schedule with most companies, but I just cannot say that I will be able to finish my work within an 8-hour period of time. That is why I am looking into FN at this time.

To each his own. I have found in all my
years of working at home that what one MT thinks is great, another thinks is not so great. The opinions of the company that I stated are my experience. It could be mine only. I am only trying to help.

Found it! (nm)

I found
a Medical Dictation, Inc. located in Florida.

I found this (m)

Has the same email addy. Looks a little...um...well anyway, that's what I found.

I found Beyond Txt to be a
I was not impressed, it took a long time to learn, and the training the pits.

OK, I found it
Thanks I will check that out!

I found some...
I finally found some fairly current posting about OSI. I had to go back to page 20 or so. However, if anyone wants to add anything new, I would love to read about it. Thanks.

What I found -
Most accounts have plenty of horrible ESL docs. There is also lack of work on a very regular basis. Pay is on time and seems to be correct. Communication, when there is any, is often rude, stinging, and nasty for no reason whatsoever other than *someone* is having a bad day. You decide for yourself.

Found it!!
Never mind, unless someone has updated information. I just did a search and found past posts on this company.

That's what I found odd..It was never really an ad..
It really was just someone on the job seeker's board, a Baspen or something saying that some company had contacted her about a traveling job and she was passing on the information. So, no company ever came and did an ad themselves, just supposedly an MT with information. The next thing you know, she is saying the position is filled Now, if she was only just an MT who was asked about a job she didn't want, what is her angle advertising on here for them. I found it odd and thinks this person solicited resumes for whatever reason. I am not sure why it was even allowed on the job board as I do not feel it was very legit.

Thanks! Found it.
I have to buy it. Thought someone could tell me how to delete words/lines at a time, etc.

Let me tell you what I have found about VR
I am on VR and thankful, very thankful a lot of the ESLs on there - the reason is their dictation actually comes out better on VR than hearing yourself. If they have a medication VR is really able to get in a way I never could have imagined. I would not worry about VR being able to get their voices- what I think will probably happen in your job is any and all dictators probably going to VR and then the money for transcribing drops, tremendously. A lot of places trying to do away with straight (the nationals) and get VR.

I have found it
by just typing in MD-IT Transcrip;ton Service. Their website came up.

Found it, is this it?
The company I have been working for for about a year decided they were not going to pay this pay period because they claimed they did not get paid because of bad transcriptions and they were looking to see who were behind the bad transcriptions and then pay next pay period, which is a month after the work is completed as it is. Also, the work has been under 100% QA, so how could there be bad transcriptions still getting through? Does anyone know if there are legal remedies, as they owe me three paydays if they decide to not pay me.

Think I found it
Do they hire employee or just IC?

I think I found it! Thanks!
I founds some discussion.

We only found out...sm

...in December. I'm sure the whole thing had been going on for a while, but they didn't tell us MTs until December and gave us about 2-3 weeks' notice. The conference calls were very helpful and informative, however. Made the whole process easire. My TL would always send us emails letting us know what was going on and what to expect...which was not much change from what we were doing already, except for how we report our time/lines. I just wish we didn't have to fill out all that paperwork again (W-4, I-9, etc.). The HIPPA and Transcend-specific paperwork I understand, but the others I wish would have just been transferred over. I'm not privy to how that process works, so I just do what I'm instructed to do.

Not sure about the not sending work to India thing. I believe that Transcend does send work overseas, but it's a small percentage from what they told us.

found it. thank you so much. nm

After 26 yr doing this I have found..
that if a co is paying this way, they are not paying well... the better companies are up front and do it by 65 char line.. no confusin formulas :)

wish I could have found you when sm
I was hiring MTs several years ago!

I would think by now you would have found another job.
Wasting time complaining here.

Here is what I found on ANP ....

I don't know this company and have not seen an ad posted for them, however, when I goggled them I found these 2 sites that are extremely alarming for anyone that would want to apply with them ....

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/334/RipOff0334462.htm

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/173/RipOff0173596.htm

While these reports are older, it does send up warning flags, in my opinion.

found a little more...
I would recommend, once again, just using the words of: 'company name' acquisition 'company name'

I think I found it but....
It is for sales not for a transcriptionist.

... I found myself a new job NOT MT, but
I probably wouldn't trust the offer you just threw out there. Cynical MT that I am! It looks like something I'd see on a telephone pole (and used to see, make $30,000 in your spare time doing medical transcription!
No offense, just how it struck me.

go through Archives
Yes they have paid MTs with bounced checks with every worthless excuse under the sun on several occasions among a multitude of other unacceptable business practices. Please do a search in the archives.

Archives so old
Does anyone know why all the posts are so old whenever I want to research a company in the archives? Almost all of them are from 2004 and very few from 2005. If they were posted in 2005, then they are usually many months old. Also why aren't they posted in chronological order with newest ones first? Please help me understand this. Thanks.

There is a lot in the archives about them.

All of them are still there in the archives. I even went back to reference some myself before even posting my questions.
