Transcend has never sent work out of the US.....sm
I've been with Transcend for over 7 years now and we've never used offshores labor. Please e-mail me with the information regarding which recruiter supposedly claimed that we did.
I work for Transcend and it is NOT
always broken. Once you learn the program, just like any other program, it is fine. I am currently an employee.
I work at Transcend and am
very happy. The program is not horrible, it is actually very good once you learn it. It goes very quickly. They matched what I was making at my other company. I have plenty of work. It has turned out to be a very good experience for me.
Transcend work
I have plenty of work now. Transcend has added a number of clients, and still wanting help. It took a little bit to get everybody on board, but plenty of work now. They are giving bonus for new MTs right now.
Transcend pays 3 cpl for all work done....sm
on the 6 major holidays.
Transcend does not send work offshores...sm
and continues to fight against offshoring.
Transcend is a great place to work
I can't believe all this negativity! I just love my job with Transcend. From the recruiter to my TL and ROM every single thing I have been promised has happened! I'm very happy! Yes, you do have to produce - but what MLS position don't you? Transcend also gives you the tools you need to succeed and will help you get better, faster and making more $. Stop bashing this company! They truly are awesome!!!! And the promote from within! They are so big on internal growth!!!!
Transcend Services doesn't send work outside of the US.

I used Shorthand in CS.net - it should work

How did you get Shorthand to work with Medrite?

Does PC Shorthand work in Radnet?../nm

Shorthand will work with Cerner, but... SM
your hospital IT department will probably tell you it won't work and you will probably also be told you cannot load personal software on hospital-owned equipment. There is a way around this, however. If you have a jump/flash drive you can download the SH program for their website when asked where to save the download file, choose your jump drive (it is drive F: on my PC, maybe different on yours).
Once the file is downloaded, open up your jump drive and double click on the install icon. When you get to the step of the installation that asks where you want to install the program (usually defaults to C:programs) change that to your jump drive. Then install the program. Now, the program is installed on your jump drive. You can take your jump drive and plug it in to any PC, open up your drive, double click on the SH icon to run the program, and the SH program will run in the background on whatever PC you are using (you will see the SH icon in your right lower corner with your clock). It is not installed on the PC, so you are not breaking any "rules" that the hospital may have. Once you are done for the day, double click the SH icon and shut down the program and unplug your dive. No one will ever know. It'll be your little secret.
I did this for years. I worked on Cerner RadNet and got the same run around about Expander programs. I just did it myself and nobody ever knew.
Good Luck!
Does Shorthand work with Chartnet?
Does ShortHand for windows work with plantform Charnet? Thanks.
Shorthand does not work well with Emdat.
Need to find an Expander that will expand properly in any platform being that the right working situation for me is so hard to find.
Any suggestions?
TIA
Tryign to use ShortHand with Bayscribe and cannot get it to work - has anyone done this and how did

Does Shorthand work with Medical Spellcheckers?
Just getting to know the Expander program "Shorthand", and saw that it says to shut off all spell-checkers. Does that mean that I cannot run Spellex or another Medical Spell Check program with it? Has anyone any suggestions as to what they use? Or any "work-arounds"
I am just getting started and trying to decide if I like "As-U-Type" or "Shorthand" better as my word expander. It seems that "Shorthand" does not act like a spell-checker like "As-u-Type" does, so need to add one.....preferrably a medical one.
PC Shorthand...Does it work in Emdat and Chartscript??
If so how do I go about setting up to work?
Yes, it is called ESP. Instant Text and Shorthand work

Shorthand 10 and Instant Text V both work on Vista sm
Don't know what you consider "not too much money," but this is a piece of your arsenal you don't want to skimp on. You should get the absolute best you can afford -- if you put the time and energy into making the software work for you, it will for itself in no time.
Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?
How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?

I totally agree, the company I work for is switching from IT to Shorthand :( yuck!

SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.
.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

Transcend
I've been there almost a year and I've never had a problem with bending my schedule by a couple of hours. They would like you to work the hours you committed to, but no one has ever said anything to me about starting earlier or later or ending my shift a little early. But, I make sure that my lines are adequate before I stop for the day. I have had a couple people tell me that they will get an email or a phone call about working their committed schedule, but it was mostly for people who are not producing enough.
Hope that helps!
No to Transcend
I tried to work for Transcend for 1 month (I also had 2 other jobs transcribing to see which co. I liked to stick with) anyways, I was put on 3 accounts, of which only 1 had work consistently and even that account ran out. And the work I received seemed cherry-picked as I had heavy ESL, which I have experience with, but need high volume to pay the bills! I decided that I would stop working for Transcend and see how long it took for them to realize I no longer was working. Well, about 1 1/2 months later I was still scheduled according to their website, and had received no contact regarding my absenteeism. Eventually, I received an e-mail about missing work. However, even after another 2 weeks, I was still on the schedule and receiving CEO emails, birthday cards, etc... I sent the computer back and am working for a company that knows my name. I figured I would have that experience with a national. At least the co. I'm with now mixes my work with moderately difficult dictators to easy line accounts to compensate. Good luck.
Transcend
Can anybody tell me if Transcend allows you to be "flexible" with the hours you work (meaning, are they very strict about keeping certain hours or are they more lenient about having a flexible schedule as long as you get your hours in)? Also, do they require you to work one day on the weekend on a regular basis? If so, do they give shift differential? Thanks for your replies in advance!
Transcend/Beyond TXT
I know that a lot has been said about the changes at Transcend and their platform for some accounts going to Beyond TXT. It is a VR/typing platform. It has received some negative publicity here on MT Stars. I just want to give another opinion of it for all those who might have or are considering a position with Transcend. I believe some of the posts may have scared some people off.
I have been working on the new platform now for a little while and I have to say that I absolutely love it. The platform has been designed specifically for MTs with many of our suggestions implemented into the making of it. It is quick and very easy to type on. The thing I love the most about it and the company is that they are consistently making changes to it. The changes are generated by emails from MTs who type on it, making suggestions to make it better and better for us. I have never worked for a company that goes to that length for us.
This is my experience at Transcend and I understand not everyone has the same experience. No need to start flaming me for my experience. Just wanted to give my side to the changes that are happening at this great company. And NO I am not management.
But if it is transcend, you will only get about 600
lines a day because of the system being down, overstaffing, and then they will pay you a whopping 60% of what you make because you only "edit."
Any OSI or Transcend MTs out there? (sm)
Have tested for both. Any pros and cons from either (or both) would be greatly appreciated. TIA..
OSI/Transcend...sm
No offense, but read the archives on these two companies...there's not much good about either. I worked for both, and if I HAD to go back to one or the other, OSi would be the lesser of the two evils.
Are you with Transcend?

looking into Transcend
Any info on them before I apply?
Transcend..OSI
Hey all...my husband recently lost his job, so I need to find more work. I'm looking into Transcend and OSI...what is your take on them? Thanks so much
Transcend!
Is anyone able to work??

Transcend/MDI-FL
Transcend bought MDI-FL.
Transcend has an ad out for
night MTs and VR editors for 12 to 15 per hour, but minimum requirement.
Transcend already has more than 80% of its
is doing the same. It isn't just radiology either, it's all work types. I think it's moving along faster than we expected, but it will never replace MT. It will just leave all the unintelligible dictation for the MT.
I am PT with Transcend and I was
told if I need to change my schedule, I must talk to my team leader about it. They need coverage on your committed hours. Otherwise, you need to talk to you team leader.
Are MDI and Transcend one and the same?

Anyone doing VR for Transcend?
If so, is your work load consistent? I see they advertise nearly daily and I am curious about why they have so many openings.
Transcend
Transcend is by far the worst company I have ever worked for so I totally agree with the post above. They treat their employees absolutely horrible and I would never tell anyone to apply for a job there. A lot of promises that are never kept....
MQ and Transcend both use VR

transcend
I am about to start working for them. Anyone know anything about them or OSi?
