TRANSCEND SERVICES INC
Transcend Services Inc is the company. Employees are saying that they are offshoring but there has been no confirmation of this. Could you confirm this for us? I think they have an ad up in the Job Seekers board and I am confused. Thank you for your help.
Transcend Services does....sm
and they just gave out holiday gift cards to the employees!

I have a question about Transcend. I used to work for them and am thinking about going back, but I've heard through the grapevine that they are sending 3/4 of their work to India--can anyone confirm this? I only work for American companies who deal with only American workers. Thanks for your help.

Hi Patty - I have worked for Transcend for almost 3 years and am now a team lead. I have always found the company to be very fair in both pay scale and employee relations. They are very open to discussion about almost anything. I would say go for it. Email me if you would like. Sue

As a Transcend customer for 11 years, I find them a very reputable company. They have provided great customer servince and excellend services for our facility for 11 years. Their Executive Leadership deserve to be commended for their dedication to their customers and employees.

Transcend Services Inc Confirmation of offshoring?
Has it been confirmed by the company on this board that they are offshoring work?
I am still not sure if I should go with them or not.
RE: Transcend Services Inc Confirmation of offshoring?
No.
I had been offered QA for Transcend Services and MXSecure...sm
but declined both. MXSecure took forever to check my references, etc...plus I believe they outsource and when questioning the guy, he denied it but their website says so. So, that turned me away from them. Transcend Services offers QA for voice recognition. I was unfamiliar with that and their process, but they sent me equipment quickly and they seemed friendly, but turned them down. They both had a production quota. MXSecure's seemed a bit high; Transcend Services seemed more reasonable. Hope this helps. This is just what they had told me. No real experience, though, with working for either. Good luck!
Transcend Services bought MDI for $16.2 million.
I didnt realize it was that much! No wonder they feel no loyalty to their old MT's! ,,,everybody has a price I guess.
The $16.2 million purchase price consists of $10.2 million in cash payable at closing (less any existing indebtedness assumed and plus or minus certain working capital and tax-related adjustments), $2.0 million in cash payable after receipt of interim financial statements and audited financial statements for the last two fiscal years, a $2.0 million note payable to the selling shareholder due one year after closing, and $2.0 million of Transcend common stock (119,940 shares). The initial cash portion of the purchase price is expected to be funded using a combination of cash on hand and up to $7.0 million in bank term debt.
Larry Gerdes, Chief Executive Officer of Transcend, said, MDI's strong presence in the mid-Atlantic region significantly expands Transcend's national footprint. We are confident that MDI's culture of excellence and total commitment to customers and employees will help ensure the success of this transaction. We look forward to working together to integrate our operations over the next several months.
I recognized that we needed a larger partner to achieve our long-term growth objectives, said MDI Chief Executive Officer Dorothy Fitzgerald. A critical concern for me was to find a partner that recognized MDI's potential and was committed to providing excellent customer service. I am convinced that Transcend is the best partner for MDI, its employees and customers.
Sue McGrogan, Transcend's President and Chief Operating Officer added, I have known Dorothy Fitzgerald for years. Like me, Dorothy is committed to outstanding customer service, which is reflected in her high customer retention rates. In her new role, Dorothy will be President of our MDI subsidiary. She will report to Leo Cooper, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, in order to focus on driving future growth, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region.

SOAP Transcription and Transcend Services? Need to decide.
Got job offers from both. Pay and benefits look to be about the same. Anyone work(ed) for either or have worked for both? Good, bad, or any other comments regarding either company?
How is the family health plan with each? Cost? Coverage?
Thanks.
Can anyone give me information on Transcend Services Voice Recognition editors? sm
I was offered a job with them. Curious as to how good their benefits are, how easy the program is, and if the dictations are REALLY awful or just as any others. Any input on anything to do with the company and/or information on Voice Recognition editors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

i work for one national, 2 services, and have one private account...
I have four kids between ages 18 and 5. Right now I have bitten off more than I want to chew with all the accounts. One pays 10.5, one pays 9, and one pays 8.5 with incentive. My private account, believe this, pays 21 cents per line, but they only dictate about $500 per month worth. I need to get rid of one but don't know which one yet. The good thing, if there is one.......I never run out of work.
Anyone out there work or worked for CBay Systems and Services?
I see this company is out of Maryland. I wondered if anyone has had experience or know anything about the company.
Thanks

I work on the radiology account they are hiring for at Southern Transcription Services

Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

We band together and start our own company offering our services to the hospitals we've been work
on already and take our accounts back from Transcend. I haven't signed any noncompete contract with Transcend. Would the MDI one be null and void? If my pay rate is null and void, so must my noncompete. They can't have it both ways.
Transcend and no work...sm
I left Transcend over 1 year ago, and from what I have read here, nothing has changed except the forced VR, that I saw coming and one of the reasons I left. The other was NO WORK, especially on the last week of the pay period. On the weekend day that I HAD to work, I sat there and babysat my PC with NO WORK!!!. It was so frustrating, and I was NOT one who got on and worked when I wanted. I worked my scheduled shift everyday, all day long, and it was a struggle to get a decent line count...sometimes it was impossible because the accounts were over staffed. I know there are slow times, but this was for the WHOLE year that I stuck it out there. They had the most horrible accounts, sound quality was spotty and scratchy, and the dictators were awful. The worst accounts were the ones you had to have a "faxed" copy of the patients in order to even start typing the report; had to search through tons of awful faxed sheets....ugh!! I'm sick to my stomach just remembering it all. Apparently nothing has changed, and only gotten worse, as evidenced by the constant help wanted ads and complaints posted here. Sure glad I got out when I did. Flame away with "things are different", but I don't see any evidence of it in the posts I've read.
How is Transcend to work for?
I worked for MQ for 6 years and it sucked. Management was terrible. Raises were unheard of and you worked your butt off. They appreciate no one!
So do you work for Transcend?
Are you making 10 cpl with Transcend? If you are is that what you started at and how long have you been with them?
RE: So do you work for Transcend?
Yes I do, and I have been with them one year as of July.
Transcend...anybody able to work?

Does anyone work for Transcend doing...sm
editing for voice recognition? I am thinking of making the transition as my hands are tired! But don't want to make a bad move and get paid nothing for hard work.
Currently work PT for Transcend
and so far doing okay. It was a challenge to learn Beyond TXT, but so was DQS, I have a problem learning new programs. The people are great and they have their own forum and web site to ask questions. No shift or weekend differentials. You have to E mail tech, but sometimes I just call them. They usually get right back to you. I heard a lot of negative posts about them on this site, I guess disgruntled ex-employees need to vent, but I have not found what they said to be true. It has been a positve experience for me. They leave me alone to do my work and I am picking up speed. 4 weeks now. I do get some hard dictators, but also some easy ones. I don't listen to a lot of the negative posts because in my experience, they are exaggerated. I have another job and that company gets a lot of negative posts also and the job has worked out fine for me. MT stars in general gets a lot of doom and gloom posts. The sky is definitely not falling.
I work for Transcend and it is no
company out there. The posts below are not true in my experience about as the person hiring was very nice to me and not rude at all. Please do understand, though, that every account they have they hope to get on VR and pay the MTs half per line what they are making doing MT, because it is expected your production will double on VR. So if you like doing VR and can do double what you transcribe, this would be a good company for that person. In the meantime, they still have plenty of regular work. Hope this helps.
I work for Transcend. Beyond TXT
to others I have been on. Also, all accounts will be going to VR in the near future, so if you like VR at half your line rate, go for it. Otherwise I would seriously think about this one.
All Transcend work going to ME
If you want to do MT, be prepared to being switched to ME in the very near future. This company wants all accounts on VR.
What is Transcend like to work for? How about MDI-FL? They both sm
talk a good game, but it sounds like a sales pitch and I want to get some honest opinions before leaving MQ.
I used to work for Transcend.
I also thought their platform was terrible and the training was a joke. That is why I left. They have the worst platform I have ever worked on. The training was the worst also. And the technical department, if you have a problem, you have to email them and wait and wait and wait for an answer, sometimes not until the next day. And they were crashing on a daily basis. Reports did not show up on my line count. I had to constantly email tech to see why a report did not show up. The worst company I have worked for.
I work for Transcend
They are a very good company to work for. I've been with them over a year now and have been treated very fairly and kindly. I highly recommend them. They're looking for MTs, so definitely consider them as your home. Hope this helps.
Transcend work
Where is it? I guess they have none. Anyone else having this?
Transcend work
My accounts are pretty busy this morning.
Transcend must have sent all their work

Anybody work for Transcend

I don't work at Transcend. nm

Low/no work at Transcend?
Anybody? Or maybe it's just me. I don't get it. I've barely had part-time amount of work and I check in at all hours of the day and night just to get that. There is zero work on the system right now. It's ridiculous. I've been begging them to add another account and they are doing it I guess but at a snail's pace. Bills are coming due, gas is getting higher and this looks like the end of the road for me. Even during MT week, everyone was suppose to get a package, I didn't and to add insult to injury there was a contest I had won that week ($25) and you guessed it, no sign of it.
So although they're extremely friendly ppl who don't give me a bit of grief, I can't afford to work there anymore. It's been since the end of May and hardly any work.
Oh well. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','%3Cimg%20src=http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sad.gif%3E');
I've already applied to a few places, so we'll see what we see.
It's back to the drawing board, Again.
