well please let me know if you find a solution since i haven't. sm
have spent 2 days with tech support with dictaphone and still not fixed. i don't have the time to spend now cuz i gotta bring in some money, LOL.
Does anyone know anything (good or bad) about DTS America? Haven't been able to find anything at
I don't know that it is true, I haven't asked, don't feel
like they would tell me if true. I haven't figured out the company name yet, still trying and I doubt seriously the offshoring company would tell us who their clients are. There is a ton of work, so I don't see offshoring (if it is happening) is affecting me. They have one account that is very difficult and they are unable to keep MTs on that account and maybe that account is being offshored, as it is mostly ME dictators anyway.
I know for a fact that QT management does monitor the boards and I feel like they need to address the concerns or they are going to find themselves in a bad situation.
No, I haven't been. I told my true experience of working for that company.
I don't have a negative attitude. You're the one who can't handle it when someone disagrees with you.
QT Medical. Last ad I can find is from May 2005. Recent contact said they haven't hired in over a
s
True, but if you can only do that - you need to find another job

I don't find that to be true --
I work for them and our account keeps expanding so they have to keep hiring to keep up with the work. We almost always have OT available to us right now. I've been on this account for almost a year and have only had a slow day once or twice.
I sure didn't find that to be true - sm
My acct is about 10% ESL, my secondary is about 25% ESL. I know that your line rate is based on the difficulty (ESL) level of the account. Miss Willy might have had a poor experience, but the other 550 MTs working there (some for many years) are not so bad.
On the contrary, I find your post refreshing and true. sm
I agree whole-heartedly that MTSOs AND MTs are in it for a paycheck. It's not personal. If you don't like your employer's treatment, find another company where their style is more to your liking.
I haven't had enough work at MDI-MD lately.
I get up just to find there's no work. Then it will start coming in and I start working, only to run out. Hard to keep a rhythm going when you keep running out of work.
I don't think so. If you were, you would be willing to post where you work. Still haven't se

What lull? Haven't been out of work yet nm

IT will work, though I haven't used it. I HATE
SH with a passion. I used PRD previously and it was so much better. Enterprise needs work. They are frequently updating it so it is getting better, though still have miles to go.
There was a lag in work about a month ago, but now it seems that half the accounts are on OT on a regular basis.
You got your W2 already? I work there but haven't received (sm)
mine yet. I was hoping to get it as an attachment to print out also and not have to wait for it to come in the mail.
I haven't even started work yet, but I have
to say I am SO impressed with this company. Pay is better than average, pay for OT (the last 2 companies I have only been paid normal line rate for extra lines), shift differential. Insurance starts the first day of the month after being hired, so no 90 day waiting period. They may 50% of 401K up to 6%. There is a 90-day waiting period for the 401K and some of the benefits. Free vision insurance. The medical/dental insurance is better than any I have seen and it is very reasonable. I currently have insurance through my husband's company and while the premium is reasonable the insurance isn't very good, high deductible, high co-pay. Their insurance is much better and I think premium is only $10/more than what we are currently paying.
Direct deposit. They supply computer/equipment. I don't have personal experience with the platform yet, but it sounds user friendly. They do expect you to work your schedule.
They train you on your shift, so that if you work third shift you don't have to train 1st shift, they will train you on third shift. Paid for 4 hours of training at 13.50.
I am so excited about starting with them. They did not have an ad running when I applied, but according to their website they were hiring and I submitted my resume. They have testing through a third-party company. Testing is timed and one section gave me a little bit of trouble, but the transcription part was easy and not the horrible dictation that you often get. I don't know if it actually represents their dictation since it is done through a third party and the dictation files I'm sure are subject to change.
I haven't but the company I used to work for asked
MTs to take a cut or risk losing the account because the account wanted to go offshore.
I haven't needed more work - there is plenty on my acct
x
I don't work for Transtech but applied w/them, haven't heard back
..
Plus my company is out work and I haven't made my rent yet, so am grouchy!
nm
yeah - they haven't told a couple of hospitals that they are offshoring their work - but I think

Years ago posts said they were extremely picky & hard to work for. Haven't
s
they cant "make you work certain hours" but they can find someone that is willing to work them
If not, they dont have to hire you as IC or anything for that matter. So yes it is perfectly legal.
If she hires you as an IC and it doesn't state in your contract when she needs that particular IC coverage and she then dictates what hours you work, she cannot do that.
But she can refuse to hire you if you don't provide the coverage that she is looking for.
How did you find them to work for. nm
:
Why do you find work for your W2
employees first? Does this mean your ICs aren't as important?
No work again? Find another job.
Not being disrespectful or uncaring here, but I have had work pretty consistently since being at TT, rarely ever completely run out. If I was sitting around with no work, making omelets, etc., I would be working for someone else.
No one said KS was out of work or low on work. The opposite is true. sm
I have heard that every account is busy. My primary is and both my secondary accounts are looking for extra help.
Isn't MDI Florida part of Transcend now? Maybe the work is going to India. They are pretty open about that.
Go to work for them and you'll find out
LOLOLOLOL
I work for SS but not on Meditech. I will see what I can find out for you. nm

Find a company with work already
darn! There's a suggestion... There are plenty that advertise... Most MTs on this board swear they can transcribe anything and can do so many lines a day, so look around that's what you do.
There's no such thing as job hoppin' if the compay doesn't have enough work for you. Find another company that does. Take control of your life and stop letting people walk all over you.
The statement made by the other poster is most certainly a fact... these companies take advantage because they have MTs who take their crap day in and day out... move on already!
Can't find any info on JLG. Anybody here work there? NM
sd
Could u please tell me where u work PT that u r happy? I need to find a new job too! nm

This is so true. I bet we all work for the
same company. I still think it is great work and great accounts, just with you and the OP, don't understand how we just cannot at least be made to feel secure in our jobs. Why the constant fear. Catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but then again, fear of the economy is also a threat.
I guess you'll find out when you go to work there....sm
Just be sure to not resign from Transcend until you see if this other company is truly all they told you they would be.
I work for them and find their QA staff to be quite helpful.
They are some of the most knowledgeable that I have run across but would never call them rude. They are very nice.
Don't work for a service who offshores. Let them find someone else
nm
Why not? If your current company is out of work, you need to find another, and another and another,
you can make a decent weekly income. I've been there and done that, sometimes 5 companies at once, until I finally landed a decent position with consistent workflow.
How do you pay your bills making less than $500 a week?
I don't think you'll find any work here..unless you have a C-phone...
Not much work here to keep me busy or even make my line requirements.
By the TT MTs. They are so busy with work, they find time to come here
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Whenever you find a place to work in MT'ing that (sm)
 doesn't have slow times, let us all know.
Sad you have to come to this website to try to find out anything, they are already out of work today
nm
Work can be really low at times and I find the sound to not be the
best but it is not any worse than a lot of the other places.
true, at least they can work in their jammies...sm
That was in the ad that started me in this rant in the first place. Stay home and stay in your slippers all day if you want. No gas expense? No uniform or clothing expense? (I don't know about you but I do wear clothes regardless if I am working or not, LOL
In the same paragraph...we are not a work when you want company.
All transcriptionists are scheduled on a daily duty roster. If a Transcriptionist is scheduled, then they are expected to be on working. While working from home does allow for distractions, _______ requires that all schedules be upheld per the scheduled roster without exception. This is not a “work when you want” corporation.
No, that's not true. They work with you. Yes, you have to be FT to get benefits. sm
but that is anywhere. They define FT by 12000 lines per period. They average it out. They take into consideration accounts, volume, slow periods, etc. If you are working FT and not getting the lines you need, they work with you to get there.
Someone is just trying to stir things up here, and I am not sure why, but it is very disheartening to see half-truths and lies about so many companies. I love working for Keystrokes. I average 2500-2700 lines per day but I have been doing this a long time and use my Expander for everything. I have an account that is considered a nightmare to some people, but I think that they come into it with a bad attitude. IMO, any account can be great once you get used to it, with Keystrokes or with any company, as long as the line count is accurate.
While it is true clients can set forth when the work is available
This particular ad stated these are straight shifts and not flexible. That is a no-no in IC, IMO. They can say when work is available but can't dictate what hours you work, period.
true, tho, would work for the painter. sm
painter - do not back down, have no fear, and stock up on gumption! We are all here with you as you represent ALL of us.
Lets just hope they are not overhiring lately and we will find we are all going to be out of work
especially after Summer.
I find it very hard to believe that all work types are on a 1-hour TAT(sm)
Are you talking about stats or everything? Do you have this 1-hour TAT in writing? I've never even heard of hospitals being on that tight a TAT.
Yea, you left out the fact that nobody is forcing you to work where you do...find a better job if
x
When there is a lot of work, do you find it hard to make 1100?
cause I sure do.
Yep. couldnt tell you excited we were to find out why we dont hardly have any work. Obviously, it is
going elsewhere and so are we.
lol You'll be hard pressed to find work with
