(This is copied from their website...supposedly they pay well, BUT their lines do not include spaces...hmmm...well, still, I've heard that they pay better than most companies.  Anyhow..hope this helps.)

We require a minimum of 3 years experience in Ops and Discharges, with acute care facility/teaching institution/production environment experience essential. This is a major metropolitan market with primarily teaching institutions, and therefore there are significant numbers of ESL’s. All of our hospitals are teaching facilities, with general technical surgeries requiring the skill and ability to transcribe a variety of disciplines every single day. Operative reports comprise approximately 80% of our volume. We also hire for discharge summary/ consultation/ clinic note coverage as the need arises.

We require a minimum of 600 lines per day. We have never experienced a prolonged work shortage, so you can type to whatever limits you set for yourself over our required 600 lines/day, Monday-Friday. We have work 24/7. Weekends are not required. We do not overstaff an account, so there’s no fighting to get your committed lines. You are assigned specific accounts and you will stay with these accounts. You don't bounce from account to account on a daily or weekly basis. However, to achieve a significantly high volume, you will need to type more than one account.

We have a testing site and all applicants are tested using the same standards. You will have to achieve a significantly high score on this test to insure that you will be able to easily transcribe the work provided without a struggle daily to achieve your lines and to provide a quality report. Typos are heavily weighed, as are drug misspellings and common term misspellings. The test is taken on line, and the site includes instructions for downloading the voice and playing it through your sound card or a wave player.

While Phoenix doesn’t insist on exclusivity, we do expect all committed work to be done daily, Monday through Friday, and not used as a fill-in when work is light elsewhere. If other arrangements are requested that preclude a straight Monday through Friday work week, approval from the Corporate staff will be necessary.

COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS:
A Pentium class (at least Pentium III), 400 megahertz computer with a large hard drive. We utilize a transcription program customized for MTs (we use an enhanced program superimposed on Word 97.). We utilize a word Expander as well. We license and provide all the software necessary for installation.You must supply your own version of Word 97 or Word 2000, and PCAnywhere. You must have an email account.

What service is she offering exactly?  The service of placing yet another ad on the job board making us believe it is a completely different job only to be hired for the same account that Superior has listed right below it?  Are you flipping serious?  You honestly think we need this service?  What a nice gig she has.  I would love to place a bunch of ads and get people to work for a company and take a couple cents for each person I find.  She must be exausted working so hard for us needy MTs.  Thanks bunches TTD!!!  What would we ever do without you?  Go jump in a lake, fly a kite and kiss my butt. 

job back in 1990 I was paid 7.5 cents per line based on a 55 character line for clinic work and a line was a line was a line.  If I typed Sincerely, it was considered a line.  None of this BS about characters only or black characters or no spaces or some other tomfoolery to rip off the MT.  A large employer who has settled recently in a class action used to make us work on a 90-character line and then convert it to 55 when sent to the hospital and pocket the difference.  Outrageous!

While I realize we will never have a line is a line again, unless you strike a good deal with a private doctor, I agree that a minumum 10 cpl (probably one of those tomfoolery lines to boot) in this day and age is not an obscene amount to ask for.

Hi, has anybody out there heard of R&S transcription service? What was your experience? Do they pay on time and are they friendly and fair?  I am considering a radiology position with them.

Thanks in advance Thalia.

Just wondering if anyone has any info to share on this company.  I do not think that I have ever seen anything about them on this site, but I'm hoping someone here is in the know.

Thanks, and Happy Memorial Day everyone!

In my 13 years as an MT, I have been nearly evicted because I relied on only 1 company to make ends meet.  After that experience, I vowed to always keep at least two companies to work for.  It takes about that many or more just to make job security in this industry, depending on who you work for. 

I'm really hearing good things about Transtech and Keystrokes, though I've never been involved with either one.  They are saying these companies give you back-up accounts with plenty of work.  Again, this is hearsay from this forum.  Sounds like it is worth a shot, though.
