System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

AXOLOTL - A GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT INSURANCE
Axolotl has AWESOME, AFFORDABLE insurance. Family plan medical and dental costs a little over $300.00 MONTHLY. They also pay for family plan vision in its entirety. STD, LTD, 401K with match and flex spending account, great PTO and HOLIDAY pay. OH and paid downtime in the case you run out of work, which doesn't happen often!!!
Great pay, great benefits for 11+ years..sm
I've just started with this great company (eMTS). I have 11+ years of experience and I was started at .10 per line as a regular employee, not IC, with a huge sign-on bonus, full benefits, very nice people, and a good account. So far, this is the best experience I've had in my years as a transcriptionist. Unfortunately, I don't believe they're hiring more right now, but you could always check in with them, they're online at eMTS.com. The management seems to really care and they work with you.
Great company, great boss....
I use to work there. The dictators on my account were really good. They use Emdat/Inscribe. Pay on 1st and 15th by direct deposit.
That''s great and I've heard they pay great as well.
I just have heard a lot of adjectives for a few accounts - zinger, killer, impossible, etc., and I sure know I couldn't hack it there. But I'm sure they know what they are getting into when they sign up. 
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
Started small; great company. Rapid growth; not so great company
First year I was there was like heaven. Then the big growth spurt when they hired managers from another company (that I had run away from before because of their bad management) and let them kind of take over. Although I have no proof it was as though I got 'bumped' by these new people when they came in and I lost a good account, good manager, etc. My paycheck went down every month lower and lower, and it became harder and harder to make my minimal lines. Having any kind of advocate was nonexistent.
It depends on you and what kind of MT you are. Seems to me there are pretty much 2 types...
Sports like basketball where you have the pros who play with finesse, and then you have street players who think it is all about physical strength, period. More and more the physical strength is winning but the art of the game gets lost more and more...
As in this country where there are almost 2 sides now, those with intellect and thoughtfulness, and those who think the only way to be strong and be a leader is to beat up everyone who does not agree with you...and force your will on others.
Suffice it to say in my opinion WMX changed its philosophy of the way it treated employees and lost its heart when it grew, and it was literally almost overnight...
If you are a mass producer who has no care of what it takes to make money, if you are a 'street fighter' then it would probably be for you because you WILL have to fight for everything. Fight for the right account, fight for lines, fight to be treated fairly, etc. If you appreciate MTing for the art of MTing or have any kind of joy for the profession, my guess is you will not make it there very long...
This is happening all throughout the what used to be called profession. Seems to happening all through everything these days. Humanity and heart are being pushed down to the bottom...
Great pay rate on a 55 ccl, great lady to work for and work is not tough. sm
It is all IC work, although you still are expected to give a schedule if you are doing stat coverage. Only major drawback is the big wait for your first check -- almost a month from the time of your first invoice.
Good luck!
Wow - you all have given me great, great things .. sm
to think about and consider. I know myself well enough that I realize I don't always things through well enough before acting.
I do appreciate everyone's comments - both pro and con. This is exactly why I decided to ask for opinions. Thanks so much for not laughing at me and just saying that a hospital job is always the way to go. I'm pretty sure that I'll apply, and I already feel better prepared. You all are great!
Yep, they get great lines and great QA
yeah I see your point - because all the crap dictations go to everyone else :( Kind of makes steam come out of your ears doesn't it LOL

I suppose someone could twist the post I put on the company forum as tattling. However, I dont see how. My post simply asked what the posts on MT stars were about. I really don't think I need to "alert" anyone to anything as millions of MTs come to this forum daily. Also, as some disgruntled ex-Transcenders said, their words not mine, Larry scans these boards regularly himself.
Another thing, I at least tried to go to the source and find out some information about what the OP was saying about unfair treatment, unfair pay and such between newbies and long-termers at Transcend. I wanted to know what the person was talking about since she wasnt going to explain herself. At least, I took it where it belonged in the first place, the company. Of course, there was never a reply as that person isn't able to post using her name.
Thank you for your post trying to divert the attention on to me instead of the issue at hand. If you are leaving or have left, why are still bothered by what I say?
My reply to your reply to my reply, lol
Michelle,
All I meant was that we could BOTH could be construed as troublemakers, depends on how you look at it.
You could also look at it that you were confronting people there at the company and trying to get them to talk about these things where you think it belongs.
There's a history, here, Michelle, that you're not aware of about why people won't talk about certain things on that forum, and you're not sure if they've already TRIED talking to management about it and got nowhere, you assume too much.
You're waltzing in here like you have controlling interest (hahaha, no pun intended) in Transcend and think you know how things should go, ignoring that there might be a history of why people are afraid to talk.
Really, though, it's not your job to try force people to answer any of your questions, here or anywhere else.
I applaud your courage to confront people about their claims, but learn when to leave it alone, that there may be a history that you weren't a part of, you weren't there yet, and people just want to commune to share experience and get a reality check.
And I'm sorry, I don't believe your only motivation was to get people talking about these issues where you think they belong.
There are some that have never even heard of this board and your post directed them here and stirred up a flurry of activity and I think you knew it would. So I hate to tell you this, but you've alerted several people to the complaints by bringing them here.
As IF it's any of your business, I have not finished my notice with them, Michelle, and was toiling whether I had done the right thing initially. I'm not about to leave anyone high-and-dry.
Let's see where you are in about three years, Michelle, you're going to be something else to deal with...Transcend better keep you on their good side.
Thanks for the reply (sm)
Do you currently work for them? If so, could you please share a little bit of information about them? Do you know what their line rate is?
Thanks for your help!
reply
okay you got it...thanks!
Thanks for the reply!
And thank you for your honesty. That is very much appreciated!
REPLY TO Hi LEE. from KS
I AM NOT AFRAID TO POST MY REAL NAME!!
To set the record straight... I posted on here because I spoke from my heart which is the TRUTH about what I think from MY perspective on the companies that I have worked for in the past, just to give someone else some insight.... NO ONE from Keystrokes put me up to this, Not Lee OR Becky... OR not management of any kind, form or shape....
I just wanted to express how I felt about working for Keystrokes as I have worked for MANY nationals out there and anyone can e-mail me OR phone me and I will send you my credentials/resume to let you know this is NOT Lee!!! I think KEYSTROKES ROCKS!!

IN REPLY TO TT MT
Not only I have been transcribing since the ice ages but I have been with TT longer than 1 year. I have worked on many platforms and have been paid hourly, salarly, by the minute, by the line, and by characters so I too am familiar with different aspects of different line counts and I have never had a problem with TT before but I do now and now is my concern. I am not trying to badmouth TT because I have no problems with TT I just don't understand my line count and Debbie doesn't understand it either. My only question has been and still is "is there someone out there who have worked with this platform and know how this line count "really" works?" and if that is a question you can answer for me or if there is some kind of formula you have that you can make me understand it since you seem to know that your counts are correct then I would really appreciate it because after all thats all I am asking for.

How pathetic can you get? You need your husband's permission to post? My life is great - you need to save your pity for your poor pathetic self....if your husband says it's okay, that is. Adios!
Now that reply is really
Really not worth a reply. This "old hag" bets you're a 20-year-old stud, sitting there in your birthday suit, doing OB/GYN notes and getting your delights. Sheesh, yourself.
Never got a reply

Thank you for your reply
I appreciate it.

Could you expand on this? Why should I run and not look back? If I'm going to run, I need more info than that. LOL
Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for taking the time to reply! I am happily awaiting to start training later in the week!
Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for your reply.
I usually ignore most of the nasty comments on here anyway. I haven't found a company who was perfect yet, have you? I think I will apply with them right now.
please reply again
so I can respond via email to give you info to submit resume.
thank you!

I get the MTjobs newsletter every week usually on Friday and it gives a list of the companies that have posted for the week. Net Dictations was one of the companies listed.
Reply
Yes, I did work for them for a short while. .
Who is EFD? Thanks for your reply

Actually, this is my first reply to any of this
and I was on a 15 minute break. I'm not unemployed and I'm not angry, I was just pointing out the obvious. You really shouldn't make assumtions.
reply
Yes, I do, and cannot figure out why. I like the account and the dictators are not that bad...but for some reason cannot get the line count I did on my last oncology account. The recruiter told at interview that they pay for spaces, so it couldn't be that...however, I don't think ExText is that great to work with...especially when pulling up normals...it takes too long to do that!!!!
Thank you for reply. nm

THANK YOU for that reply!

KS reply thanks
Thanks for the info - I appreciate it and it helps with the questioning I need to do. Have a couple of prospects and just wanted to check them out. CB
Why don't any of you reply to my ad?
Funny, I come here and read all of this talk about low pay scale, no work etc. I have had an ad posted on this board for about 2 months now and only received 3 or 4 replies. One person I even offered to listen to the dictations and get back to me. I never heard a word. I am willing to offer as much as .17 cents per line for my most difficult dictations who are mainly done by a doctor who dictates discharge summaries both psychiatric and medical for about 10 doctors on staff. The easiest work which is all psychiatric I would start at 11cents per 65 character line/no spaces. We are on electronic medical record system direct to hospital. Regular medical for experience would start at 12 cents / up to as high as 14 if you are willing to be dedicated and work full time. Please reply if you are interested. I am a small independent contractor who has had the same account for 28 years/one general hospital and the other psychiatric in the Miami area.
Thanks for your reply.
I guess I will just wait to see if I get any work.
reply to MT
This company is in Mass. The other reply was correct about which company it is- FOCUS.
reply
Thanks for the info. Sad to hear.
Thanks for the reply...
I brushed up my resume a little yesterday and may apply...it's just so hard to know sometimes when to move on and whether you're jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Thanks!
