In Reply to: Seascript - anyone get returned e-mail - nondeliverable for job posting? nm
they called me twice asking me to send in paperwork which I couldn't send because their e-mail kept rejecting it. Glad I moved on.

You mean, he's still at this type of thing? About 5 years ago....
I had to go to the Labor Board in my state to get my money from him. He always has more excuses than anyone I've ever known, and he's slippery about communication, too. If this is a new problem, you'd best get on it. Hopefully he'll pay up, but I wouldn't give him ANY more chances!
Just be honest. Put down the shift you're looking for, what type of work, that sort of thing.
Be reasonable in the line rate, or I use "negotiable". Let them know if you're looking for a large or small company to work for.
What is going on with Seascript.....
All I can say is good luck to anyone trying to apply there. This same person was posting ad weeks and weeks ago and kept saying her e-mail was down, her servers went back, everything crashed. The work was ASAP needed immediately, but she didn't have anything up and going, kept e-mailing, repeating all the problems over and over. Gave new e-mail address and when I tried contacting that one, wouldn't get a reply for days, and then she would repeat the same stuff over and over. Even today, she has given another e-mail address, stating upgrade services problems. That same stuff was going on way back early April. The work was supposed to be immediate hire but I found out there was nothing ready at all, just blowing smoke for days.
The test she had was 11 pages or more long. Ridiculous for someone with over 20 years experience. Give me a test file and then decide. Finally got a contract sent over but it was stuff thrown in there I have never seen in a contract,,,,,,so IC beware!!! Saw that and said, forget it. This was early April mind you.
Anyone that unorganized, who takes days to get back with you, makes me wonder about getting your paycheck.
SeaScript - RUN!
Where do I start about this company. I tested and was hired, did a little work for her and Dianna was so unreliable - she will have a million excuses why there is no work all of a sudden. I think what happens is she gets behind and then gets caught up, leaves the new hire in a lurch, saying that she has had to redo the templates over and over and over and over. Read her post, she says she had 26 surgeries - people, come on. I'm telling you, you are in for it if you work for this lady. Sorry to be so negative, but I saw her post and I had to act to save you the frustration and hassle. Your hint will be just by talking to her on the phone - I should have followed by instincts and not accepted the position.

Seascript.............
Been there, done that..... her rambling e-mails are so confusing it's ridiculous. She'll get you started (well at least you'll try to get started) and then you'll be left sitting until she gets going the next day and ONLY if she isn't doing stats, which seems to be all the time....
MOVE ON....... and find real work.
Seascript - Any info at all? TIA
Trying to find any information on this company, but I have never heard of it before. Does anyone out there have any info on this company? I would appreciate any help you could offer. Tx.
Seascript info? Pay per page for OPs sm
I have searched on this site for information on page rates. Not very current info. If anyone could offer their experience with page rates, especially for surgery center work, as a subcontractor.
Also, anyone heard of Seascript or have any experience with them? TIA
Seascript - anyone get returned e-mail
xx
Seascript or INFO ON PAGE RATES. TIA
Also, anyone heard of Seascript or have any experience with them? TIA
They are paying per page for surgery center work. I have searched on this site for information on page rates. Not very current info. If anyone could offer their experience with page rates, especially for surgery center work, as a subcontractor.
There is a company where you can type sm
conference calls. I think the name is FDCH, federal document clearing house. I used to work for them a few years ago. I don't know how they are now.
http://www.fdch.com/careers.htm
TT is the type of company...sm
If they have 1 job out of TAT they freak out and hire 20 MTs. God forbid they have steady work for a few weeks where you actually are able to make your line count, and they freak out again and hire 20 more MTs. So needless to say, work flow is not steady and they love to overhire.
Do you will the company not allow her to type more, or
Are you taking a snipe at her lines produced in a day?
If you're taking a swipe at her producing 1200 lines a day, I'd like to remind you that is a perfectly fine production level and the general area usually produced for straight transcription, as reflected by most MTSOs requiring 1000-1200 lines per day to meet eligibility requirement for benefits.
I'd also like to point out that not all platforms are compatible with the ShortHand programs that do all of the work for the MT. Some companies still have platforms that require the MT to think and type rather than short-cut everything through a report.
Just my two cents in case that comment was intended to be as nasty as it reads.
SILENT TYPE--ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COMPANY??
Saw a job posted here by this New Jersey company--anyone know anything about them?? Feel free to email. Can't afford another mistake and would like any info, positive or otherwise!
Silent Type..Good Company?
Is Silent Type a good company? I dont want to waste my time hooking up with a company only to realize after Im hired that they are not a good company (what I am going through right now). So...any information about Silent Type would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I work for All Type. They are a decent company.
Check them out. I am an IC but if you live in certain states you can be an employee or SE. Not sure if they need anyone right now though.
All Type is a good company. There are comments down
this page. Just scroll down. You can check out their website at http://www.alltype.net
I know we need MTs.
Can anyone recommend a company who allows you to type on just 1-2 docs M-F? SM
Pays every other week or twice a month, on time. At least paying 8 cpl and with an MT-friendly platform.
Thanks guys!
On this Company Board, type in Probity
You'll see quite a few posts about them. From what I saw they are not an honest company, but some find them okay. Platform seemed like it had a lot of glitches or whatever. Good luck!
Anyone currently work for All Type or have recent experience with the company? sm
I'm currently exploring my options, and was impressed with the $1000 signon bonus offered, but wondering about the usual things -- quality and quantity of work available, pay on time, etc.
Any input would be appreciated. 
I was the *half full* type until my company laid me off.
They said identical things as this DRC acquisition. They told us to just keep working as usual and do your best. Three months later (after the Indians had proper training on our accounts), they laid off the whole US MT force. The particular account I was on DID NOT want their dictations outsourced overseas but this happened anyway until this account caught wind and eventually left. These things do happen out there, and all of these people have the right to feel skeptical. These Indian company takeovers happen more often than not. We MTs need to be less naive about things and more weary to protect our occupation.
Survey - What type of medical insurance does your company offer?
Just curious about which company you work for and what type of medical insurance they offer. HMO, PPO? Cheap or expensive for you?
The thing about this company (sm)
is that they keep their accounts fully staffed. It is not unusual to be transcribing reports that are an hour or two old. Unlike the company where I was before, they were a day or 2 behind - always - yes, there was plenty of work, but customers were not happy. They lost mucho accounts for that very reason. When the work is so caught up as it is at TT most of the time, a slow patch is much more noticeable more quickly. As far as the LV acct goes, maybe another person whose acct is slow because of weather is typing that as a backup. Most people don't just sit around and wait for work without asking for another account, unless they can afford to. They are keeping their clients satisfied, which is what they are in business for. This will not last.
One thing I can say, the company I
work for has excellent communication. E-mails are answered 99% of the time within 30 minutes, and if marked priority within 5 minutes.
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm
nm
depends on work type, experience, spaces, company, area
nm
I worked for this company. The one thing they do have
Maybe you should ask for backup accounts, more than 1. They never run out of work, at least they didn't when I worked there 6 months ago. On the other hand, they have been hiring a lot lately. Can't hurt to ask for a backup.
Same thing happened to me. Distrustful Company
d
I envy you. 5 years ago at my company I would have said the same thing
Now they are using such unfriendly software, can't fix any of the problems, it seems, and I'm seriously thinking of moving on. The owner hires her friends, and I really don't think anyone is qualified. JMO, of course.
Going through the same thing. Wondered if you are working for the same company..
Can you give us a clue who you are talking about. I think it is who I also work for if their name just has initials. If it is, then I will tell you what a big part is...they are overhiring for the wrong accounts and acting desperate on other accounts. Ridiculous. Someone does not know how to organize the work flow.
Don't be too skeptical..same thing happens at my company. I think as it nears the end of the pay
period people panic if they are not where they want to be at so it seems like everyone jumps online to get in a much work as they can and it ends up being slim pickens. So, honestly, I don't think the other poster is making excuses. It does happen.
Can you give me a hint as to which company? The same thing happens to me too and I am an IC. nm

I agree with one thing you say. With almost any company right now, unless you marry the job and
 work 24/7 and jump through hoops, dont expect to get the best or be treated the best. They are always looking for the new to use and abuse and thus the circle keeps going. We all burn out being used and abused and they know that so they keep adding new MTs to use and abuse. That is a fact in MT today. I dont specifically know anything about these 2 companies but it is the same at the 2 places I currently work PT. Exact same situation. I have stopped jumping and I dont plan to do that anymore because in many cases, you still go down with the ship when they get an urge to overhire in these larger companies. They dont sit there and pick and choose. You just go down with the rest. Small companies may fiddle more with that but not the larger ones.
I was thinking the same thing. I'd definitely pass on this company. nm
Every week a different company has bad posts. The funny thing is that sm
it just goes round and round. How about doing something about it rather than arguing back and forth. I think we all can agree that there are good companies and bad companies but that for the most part they are all pretty similar. Slipping through the cracks? It happens. Be the squeaky wheel and call the company. Obviously they need people if they hire. Perhaps your resume was stuck to another or your message not written down correctly. Perhaps you misunderstood something and need to clarify it. Perhaps they misunderstood something and need to clarify it. If you have chosen to work for a company and did your research, then you have to decide after a month or so if it is the right company for you or not. Transcription is a very small world and these service owners talk amongst themselves. They work on making transcription better not how to burn and tick off the next applicant.
Be realistic. These companies all have good and bad points. The really bad ones are obvious with the paychecks that do not arrive for months and those that continuously bounce checks and those that rip off their employees with fraudulent line counts. But the ones that are constantly attacked on here are the ones that have been around for awhile and will continue with or without you. MQ, Spheris, MDI, Transcend, Transolutions, Keystrokes, Heartland, TransHealth, OSI, Precyse and Cymed are going to continue to hire and fire and have happy MTs and MTs that do not like working for them. The truly bad ones like XXXX and SS, to name a few, the ones that only have horrible posts are the ones that will fade away.
I heard it was to be bought by some company out of the Phillipnes or some such thing.
:)
SPI is a company out of the Philippines with an office in Nashville. Formerly Med-Type in Nashville

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
Webmedx watches every min you type or don't type.
I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
Debate is one thing, and posting is one thing,
but this is getting absurd. I think it must be the same person, otherwise multiples who cannot stay on topic?? Why can't you STICK with the subject? The subject of my post was NOT what your cent per line rate was or is - I could care less- and not how much money you made last year, this year, or in your life, but how silly the comment was that your cents per line rate means NOTHING, that its up to you - some fluff like that. That is just so silly. Again, working for the same company, same account, is one going to make more money being paid more per line? OF course! This is so frustrating and really makes me so tired of reading this garbage let alone posting. Its like a nightmare. And also makes me completely believe that the original company must pay peanuts.
good thing it is a temporary thing sm
because people with your attitude don't stay in anything very long anyway. Nobody has to listen to that crap to keep their job.
You don't know me either. you can say old fart all you want (when did 53 get to be old fart....too funny) but at least I am a valuable employee who can get a decent job!
Well for one thing, it would not be a professional thing
to do for any MTSO to have a board to do this as part of being an MTSO involves the ability to identify and hold on to confidential information. Even if a person is a job hopper (which in this business rather than go against you can make you a stronger better MT if you can do just about anything thrown at you), if a person is looking for a job, a company needs to have the MT's permission to contact their current employer. Where one has worked or has not worked is something that is very unprofessional being discussed on a board by MTSOs.
Being a business owner of any kind comes with it possessing what it takes to maintain ethical practices.
All Type
Would you please share what you love about working there? Enough work, flexible schedule, good people to work with, fair pay scale??? Would like to hear more specifics, if possible. Thank you.
Can you type?
You did not capatalize the first letter in a sentence and did not put an "s" on a word that needed it.
wow, you type?
If I were you, I guess I would love any company that would hire me with that spelling, grammar, and punctuation!
so you get 2 cpl if you type ....
16000 lines plus quarterly bonuses? Do you have to meet 99% accuracy and have you been able to get the 2 cpl ever? The reason I am asking, lots of rumors that quaterly bonus will be cut, I don't think so, just think they are going to give extra incentive for accuracy, but will be difficult to get. (like spheris)
DO THEY LET YOU TYPE MORE
THAN YOUR COMMITTMENT IF YOU HAVE MORE TIME???
i type on both....
my favorite is Extext. Fast program in word-based platform.
USA type
Please give info on this company . TIA
All-Type
The absolute worst....don't go there!!
Do your best to type everything you sm
can understand, and blank the rest. We are transcriptionists not interpreters. If they are going to live and work in the US, they need to learn how to speak our language correctly (although some do a better job than some US docs). They have no trouble with dollars and cents, or with the universal salute (which is what I think of all of it and globalism)
:)~
Can anybody tell me what type of
software you use for you line counting when billing for doing a private acct? I am so confused. Thanks. I would appreciate it so much.
