found an answer in the archives!
I found some great posts in the archives, and they really helped. Phoenix MedCom sounds great!
wow - found a website in archives
http://www.meridianhcs.com/
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?
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.
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!
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.
I have posts in the archives, none of which SM
are favorable toward Diskriter, but not for the supposed reasons stated above. This person is seriously misinformed about Diskriter offshoring at this time. It is my understanding that a long time ago they offshored to the Caribbean islands but that is not happening any more and all the work is kept here in the U.S. now.
Whoever wrote the "Beware" post is not telling the truth.
There are some posts in archives...sm
If you do a search above, you'll find some posts about them, but all from last year. Some confusion in the posts about whether it's a franchise co. or not, but info about pay, platform, etc.
I found 5 posts by doing a search.
I know the subject comes up about once a week, at least.
Also, keep in mind that no one OWES you a response, and it isn't very polite to point out that people haven't done so. It would look so much better in the future if you just repost an inquiry, rather than pointing out that everyone on the board has failed you personally by not jumping up to respond.
Oh, geez, I just found the posts about this co. from
a few days ago.
Don't know how you found good posts about NJ
x
Several posts in the archives stating this. nt
All that information is in the archives. It may even be 3 or 4 posts
down from where you are asking. Maybe how many years of experience they have isn't listed, but then there are no guidelines which we are told to follow about posting about a company. I know I worked for SoftScript and it was horrendous and I didn't have any non-ESL dictators. Someone else will post about how wonderful a company it is, but all of the Ex-SS have figured out it is probably management because we ALL know better. I figure there is there are at least a dozen posts and 11 of them are negative then it is a bad company. I do agree though that a newbie doesn't know there is anything better out there.
Many times people post read the archives and I'm guilty of that, because a company has been discussed so much and the very same questions asked again and again and again. I tihnk it is up to us to do our own research, just like the word boards aren't for those too lazy to Google something.
There are many good posts in archives
They seem to have a good platform and plenty of work. I just applied myself after looking in the archives and reading the most recent posts.
see archives, recent posts not
exactly glowing.
They have been discussed a lot lately. Look through old posts and archives.
If you read the posts in the archives you
will run as fast as you can. They are not are reputable company and I'm not even sure they are a transcription company at all, but a front just to rob you blind. We call them TransScam.
There are multiple unresolved complaints with the BBB.
I wasn't complaining. I just found the posts below sm
a bit concerning. Personally, if I do what I call power hours where I make myself just sit in the chair and focus only on typing for an hour, I can do 300 lines or more an hour, so I do not really have an issue with ExText. Of course, maybe I could be doing even more ... who knows.
I do agree that it is always best to ask the powers that be when you have an issue -- only way to get an answer.
I did and found no current posts about problems.

Check the archives - there were recent posts about them.
USA Only!
Read the archives. Many posts, none good. nm
Lots of posts in archives stating that it is
a Indian run company. Supposedly they have a U.S. storefront office in MA. Turnover is very high, which is why they constantly have ads running. The only good thing I've ever heard about them is they will hire newbies. They pretty much have to because an experienced MT would not want to work for them unless they couldn't find a job elsewhere.
Posts found on a search have only negative comments. nm

Might check the archives as I think there were some negative posts a while back. NM
nm
Lots of posts recently in the archives. Horrible
company
Recent posts in the archives too. Open your post and then near
the bottom click on the blue related posts to bring up most recent ones. They pay 8 cpl, dictators are horrendous, they have very frequent turnover.
Check the archives and more recent posts. Lots of info there.

Lots and lots of posts in the archives.
There are dozens and dozens of posts in the archives. SS
is constantly hiring and it isn't because they are getting tons of new accounts, it is because there is frequent turnover. That would be enough to keep me away, even without reading the archives.
Posts from April said everyone gets 8.5 cpl/newbie or experienced. Recent posts said

A few posts about them about 3/4 of the way down this page between the DSG & Diskriter posts. nm

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.
