offered position with Cymed. The pay is average, lots of ESL, offered 0.5 cpl more if I do more than 1800 lines a day, which I do occasionally, but not often enough that I would have a bunch of extra $$ each pay period. The person I interviewed with was an HR person and hadn't the first clue about transcription, so her answers weren't very good to questions. I did specifically ask if the offshore and she reluctantly said they do. I know they offshore to the Phillipines and probably India, and they are support of the move to offshore to Trinidad. I was offered 8 cpl and have 20 years' acute care experience. I was told there were lots or opportunities to earn big $$ in bonus money, but I'm not looking to be chained to my chair another 4 hours a day. My main decision for declining the position was the offshoring.

have you interviewed them?
I always have a ton of questions, and talk with the recruiter at great length about what I am looking for and what they are offering. That might help hone it down.
I interviewed with them and turned them down
but can't remember all the details. I think they offered 10 cpl for IC and 11 cpl for lines over 12,000 per pay period. You have to "punch the clock" , which I just won't do. Sorry I don't remember other details.
So you've interviewed MOST of them?....LOL
Saw a program on CNN or one of those stations, and it was a call center in India filled with hundreds of well-dressed professional-looking MTs and they said: *average age 27 with a business degree* compared to "average age 49 in the US with no degree"....
Seeing hundreds, and it was a 2005/2006 show, - I believe that show. You may have interviewed a few dozen Indian MTs IF YOU are in the US but not MOST Indian MTs. *S*
Have a nice day!
I interviewed for a job today
Most of it went well. They pay the same cpl as most the other companies I have looked into. They pay for headers if you have to type them in yourself, which is better than what I got elsewhere. The scary part is that all they pay for is the training phone call and then straight production, they really don't give you time to lean the account to build up speed and make money. I asked the interviewer if the account they were putting me on was busy all the time. She said yes. I asked her if it was saturated with ESLs. She said, "it is out of Texas, What do you think?"
Those were the only 2 red flags I saw was the straight production after the 2-hour phone call and I might be stuck on an account that is saturated with ESLs. I did like the fact though that I will be using eScription instead of ExText. I never used eScription before, I have always used ExText so I am excited about learning something new. I do need health insurance and theirs was pretty inexpensive. I am not sure what to think. Am I going to be in over my head?
I applied to 2 more places and have not heard from any of them yet. I did hear from one Friday and they said I needed to fill out another application. I filled one out online and they e-mailed me to fill out another one.

I interviewed for an in-house pathology MT - sm
position a few years ago. What they did was a transcription typing test, so I had actual dictation and of course they timed me. I did okay there I think without any errors I was aware of but speed wise I tend to type a lot slower when being tested as I just freak at typing tests. Then they interviewed me, and I feel so dumbb at interviews, 2 people at once, totally dumbb questions for the most part with nothing to do with transcription. I thought I did well but did not get called back. They gave me a full tour of the facilities, etc, the MT office, the lab, etc. Let me "interview" the MTs there too. It was quite interesting.
well, I interviewed for an in-house job Monday
She said by today, Friday, she would let me know if I got the job. She told me I was high on the list of being hired, but she was still interviewing. It is already nearly noon and I have not heard a word. I looked at the job board and the ad for an MT is gone. Is that bad news for me?
Lord forgive me for saying this, but at the start of this, they interviewed her roommates on CNN, I
think. Maybe Fox. At any rate, the girls were rather "smug" about it all, said that Natalee was quite taken with this Dutch kid and had basically "dumped" her friends the last 2 days to hang all over this guy. When they were asked what was "so special" about him, they said that Natalee was quite flattered that he was paying attention to her, as he was considered the "#1 Catch On the Island"...So, that certainly explains why her friends weren't "covering her back". She had ditched them more or less to be with Romeo. Happened to me a lot in the "old bar hopping days" with my girlfriends. One would hook up with some total stranger, and just dump the rest of us "singles" for the night. Luckily, they all lived, though we did have a scary encounter now and again, this being in Southern Florida.
I'm not happy with my current position, but I've interviewed
tested and me offered positions with at least 12 other companies and none of them have anything better to offer, all less money, all set schedules, etc. Read the job boards and see what is out there and if you want to test the waters take on a PT IC position - of you can test and interview with multiple companies without making a committment.
Interviewed last week, 1200 lpd, low pay, lots of restrictions. I said no. nm

I read the story and they interviewed people who work in the
Luis Vuitton store. They said they had 3-4 of the debit cards used just that day. Other high end stores were reporting they were being used in there as well. One guy on tv was interviewed and said he was unemployed yet he was going to buy a car. That means he'll probably have no insurance, probably no license. Every single taxpayer is paying for these unemployed, young "disabled" people with a bunch of kids who have chronic back pain or <insert whatever disorder here> to go shopping and not for needed things like food and diapers.
I interviewed to work in a pharmacy ... haven't heard yet, but -- sm
the company will send their pharmacy clerks to classes and pay for pharmacy tech certification, even though it is not required in New York state. Waiting to hear back from them this week.
Transolutions
I read the posting of the person who asked about them and also the remarks of other persons. I will tell you what I think of this company. First, they are the nicest people you would ever deal with. The original office staff remains and that in itself tells you something. If you get feedback, it isn't nasty or degrading like some other companies out there. Yes you have a fixed schedule, but being able to start an hour early or an hour late is wonderful, and I know that even when I was a new employee before, if I had something come up, I could contact the team leader and work out an exchange of shifts so that I could take care of whatever came up. They don't hover over you either. There have been some QA changes, but it is so important that reports be consistent and watched for errors. Continuous errors can make or break an account. The bonus program, I believe, is very generous and the benefits affordable. I priced insurance as an IC and no way could I afford it. I had to leave them a few years back due to illness in the family and they welcomed me back with open arms and I even received a phone call from an office person who remembered the situation and very kindly called me to say welcome back and ask about the former situation. With my previous company, I made insane amounts of money, but they could have cared less if I died sitting in my chair; that would have been an inconvenience. Sometimes there are things more important than money and #1 on my priority list is having NICE people in the main office, great coworkers, and a chance of advancement. I would say yes to anyone considering this company. I worked for a few of the other nationals, MQ included, and they didn't know me from Adam, just when I started my shift and when I was to quit. I like being more than just a sign-in number on an account. 
Transolutions
Good pay, great bennies, very flexible. There's a troll who will undoubtedly come on to slam me - she always does when she sees my name alone or in association with Transolutions. Ignore her. She has nothing good to say about anyone. Good luck with whatever you do.
I like Transolutions
Everyone is different, and different companies fit our varying needs. I like Transolutions. Check it out for yourself and talk with the recruiters, current employees, etc. Get a feel for if they fit your needs. Their vacation, PTO, paid down time for full-time employees, etc. are pretty good. HTH.

Transolutions does

Transolutions does.

Transolutions does!
And pay for your internet too!
Transolutions
hires new graduates if you can pass their test.
Transolutions does!
They have some accounts that use dial-up, although they are slowly moving toward an internet-based system. Give them a try. I know they are hiring and we have more than enough work. Never run out!!!

Transolutions
Is anyone currently working with Transolutions? I have been offered a job and would really like some info before starting on personal opinions! Thanks everyone!
It's Transolutions, as stated above.

Transolutions is a bad choice!!

Cymed or Transolutions?
Which would you rather work for and why? Appreciate both positive and negative feedback. Thanks.
Transolutions not so good...
Being on this board for many years, I have only seen about 4 or 5 people who have positive and the rest negative. I, myself, had a negative experience with them. I don't know anything about Transtech.
Quit Transolutions?
Has anyone quit Transolutions recently? I keep trying to hang in there but it is one thing after the other. I don't really want to go into details......just wondering if there is anyone else frustrated besides myself.
Quit Transolutions
Know exactly what you are talking about. Thinking the same thing actually. Bad communication and no consistency .
Yes, Transolutions does use Apex
:)
You must work for Transolutions. That's their

Has anyone ever tested for or
Just wondering because I believe that my skills and equipment meet their requirements, but never heard back after sending my resume.
I know that the MTSOs are often bombarded with resumes, but it would've been nice to be able to test for them.
tested it
I tested your theory and that isn't the problem. I just wonder if I hit an "F" key or what is causing it. It does it about every 10 seconds! Thanks for the thought though!
Have you tested lately? I never
dreamed how indepth this has gotten. Why are we expected to know as much as a doctor or nurse? It is not like you can take it on yourself to change anything. The very most you can do is flag it. I miss the days when I could just track one of these guys down and ask them. Now, assuming you are inhouse, it is like you are not allowed to do more than nod hello.
I tested too
I tested three weeks ago and have heard nothing.
Newer Transolutions employee
Thought I'd put my 2 cents in - I have been with Transolutions for about 4 months now, and I agree with the statements about how nice they are - they really are. I am working really hard to increase my production and get up to level 5, which is the higher pay. Dolfan, do you have any suggestions on that? You said you just stay there no matter what it takes - does that mean you just put in as much time as it takes to get that many lines in? Does it usually take you significantly over your scheduled time? I keep resolving to do that, but then I get tired and end up between level 2 and 3. I am still adding docs to my glossary on a daily basis, so I keep hoping that I will get there eventually.
I agree also about the benefits - I am part time (25 hours/week), but I am earning PTO, holiday pay, etc. When you do have to work a holiday, you get benefit pay, PLUS time and a half - I think that is fairly unusual for an MT company.
The scheduling is flexible, too. I worked for as an IC before, but I actually found that I needed a schedule or I would leave work too late and burn out. But, that is just me.
Hope that is informative, and Dolfan, thanks for any help in advance! (Or any other Transolutions people out there reading this, if you have any suggestions.)

Transolutions would be someplace I would stay away from..
I worked for them for a very short time. They were VERY friendly in the beginning and my scorese were 99-100% with no problems. I then had to take a couple days off and when I came back, they were rude, inconsiderate, and flat out lying to me. My scores suddenly went to 95% (I read these all over very carefully) and their attitude towards me changed drastically. I had heard that they were that way, "you have to fit in," but ignored it and took the job anyway..my mistake. There are few girls I have seen on here VERY happy with Transolutions, but I have spoken with MORE that are unhappy with them. Good luck in your decision.
Transolutions has Medrite-they are hiring.
Lots of new openings.
what is your experience with Transolutions and Transtech
Do they keep their promises, primary account stability, start out at least 9 cpl, supervisors easy to get ahold of, etc.
Transcend and Transolutions both can use satellite.
or at least they did a couple years ago.
I'm tested to death, too
If you create a folder on your desktop called "Sound Files" - then when you are downloading an mp3 file or whatever - right click and do "save to target" - then browse your desktop until you see sound files folder and make sure that is in the box. Then, the files will download to that folder. Then, when you double click on Express Scribe, up on the top you will see "Load" - click on this and then browse for your sound files folder. Highlight those you want to download into express scribe and then down at the bottom, hit ok or load (can't remember which it is). They will then be loaded into express scribe, ready to go.
Was she tested for thyroid? sm
Pretty common in cats and I believe that's one of the symptoms. Good luck.
My child has been tested....sm
By 3 different psychiatrists and psychologists who are children specialists. She does well without medication when she has tasks broken down into small increments and with redirection when she gets off track. I'm not going to medicate her with anything when she is fine when given these helpful guidelines, and her doctors are conservative enough to agree with me and don't hand out pills quickly. If she displayed ADD/ADHD symptoms to the severity that she couldn't function in life without parameters that work it would be a different story.
She is physically active with playing sports (i.e. soccer and basketball depending on the season or doing dance when it's off season for both) and we take her to the playground often. As far as diet goes, we limit her sugar intake as she is more hyper when she is exposed to sugars and even she recognizes that if she has a lot of sugar she gets more hyper.
Too bad the QA's are tested before they're -

My editors ARE TESTED
The editors for my company are tested and they are trained at 100% before they are turned "LOOSE". They also have 3% of their work audited.
I'm gonna say no. I tested by...
running adaware, superantispyware and spybot, cleaned everything out and then came only on this site. Clicked around for a while, posted a couple times and ran my scans again. Nothing came up, so I'm going to say no I guess. I always have Spyware of some sort when I run my scans, but I visit so many sites a day I have no idea where they come from.
I just don't understand it. I tested
the machine from 3 different phones and didn't have a problem. Once I punched the ID# in, the beeping stopped for me. I'm very confused as to why my doc had problems.
I had the older model with the tapes and it worked great until the transfer box died. I couldn't find just the box, since this machine is no longer made.
I think my doc is a thing of the past. I haven't heard from him since the test. What kills me is that I was with him for 14 years. I don't know this for sure but he has not called me or dropped off any tapes. He passes my house on his way home so he used to drop the tapes off when there was a problem.. His dictation is due today and I don't have any to do.
you are correct, i only tested on 4..nm

I thought Transolutions was sooo fantastic, don't they have something to help you with that?

Hi again,
It's decision time. Just wondering what people think of these companies and what their experience has been like working for them. Thanks.

The Tampa Medquist office used to have a real hot payroll guy, named Shane, but I don't think that's the info you need. LOL,,,I am with Transcend. I like it.
I believe Transolutions pays all phone costs. nm

I recently tested for Mxsecure
I had to do 5 dictations. They were the toughest I have ever done.
