I  also work for Focus Infomatics,  I mean worked.  I have been working for months.  They payvery poorly 6.5 cents per line.  as compared to other companies, that is very low.  Also they trick you into thinking it is a transcription job, then they tell you when you are trained, that you are going to be doing editing, without giving you a choice.  I am very disappointed with them.  I also thought they were good in the beginning.  They are not very professional.  I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking for transcription work.

I feel like a professional tester.  Tested for so many companies in the last six months I can't remember all of them - not one answer from any of them. 

Just tested for Transcription1 and still have not heard from them either.  Anybody have any info on this company?

Was in a hurry

that is probably why they told you not to mock their advertisers.   Put youself in their place.  If this was your website, would you want MTs to mock your advertisers?

We need more people like you who will champion us. 

You are just wrong.  I started over 10 years ago when one could make good money working productivity with bonuses and benefits.  The behemoth -- the Walmart of transcription -  came in and bought most everyone out and reduced line rates and decimated benefits.  All others had to also to stay in business.  I have a devil of a time making the same wage I made 10 years ago.  I recently left a place because I was making $12 an hour - working as hard as I could (less than 1/2 what I usually make).  The HR person called and asked why I left.  When I explained, she said those days are over and better get used to it.  If a CEO increases productivity and profit -- they get millions.  MTs are expected to double their productivity while making about half what they used to with VR.  Sorry poster, this is reality.  If you have prospered, be thankful, but don't put the blame of the dismal working conditions of transcription on disgruntled workers.

Could I please hear from anyone who is currently working for MDI-FL or Cornerstone Professional Services.  I have searched for both companies, but would like to hear  how the people who are still working for these companies like/dislike working for them.  Any information would be appreciated...both pros and cons.

Thank you.

How is this company?  Do they pay on time? Is there is enough work? How is the QA staff? How is their platform?  How are the owners?  TIA

sorry for so many questions, but I like others am looking for a truthful company with stable work that does not, dog me out.

is also known as E & O insurance, short for errors and omissions.  It serves to cover a professional if/when they commit an error or omit something that causes harm to their client.  Doctors call it malpractice insurance.

It is very specifically NOT, I repeat NOT a part of your homeowners insurance.  Professional liability insurance is LIABILITY coverage.  That means it covers you if you cause harm to someone else.  Insurance that would cover your personal computer is PROPERTY insurance and would indeed be part of your homeowners or renters' policy, assuming you have enough coverage for your contents and/or an electronic media enhancement to the policy.

To all MT's out there - do not ever sign something that says you will carry Professional Liabilty coverage.  This has the potential for putting the liability for mistakes on you, rather than on the doctor who signs the report.  It's saying that You are responsible for errors that may or may not cause harm to a patient somewhere along the line.  Don't do it.

when paying self-employment tax, does that include unemployment taxes?  I was thinking of filing since it looks like finding another job may take a long time.
