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!
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!
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

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.
I don't know anything about transolutions, interviewed, tested, and
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.
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 thought Transolutions was sooo fantastic, don't they have something to help you with that?

Softscript, Transolutions, Datakey, Medquist
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.
Jen
Softscript, Transolutions, Datakey, Medquist
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
//
Aren't you the same person who posted above that you work for Transolutions and USED
to work for the company that does 7 days a week?
AVOID AT ALL COSTS SoftScript, Transcend, Medquist, OSI, Transolutions
SoftScript has bad, bad ESL accounts.
Transcend is notorious for running out of work while they have plenty of well-to-fo executives. They overhire, then nobody has any work. They will call you every day to "work extra" - that is, if they have any work to do.
Medquist is having a massive exodus because they have been sued for fraudulent billing. There are thousands of people looking for new jobs, so maybe you can get something soon.
OSI offshores like crazy but their worst problem are some of their lunatic department heads, one in particular with no experience and less of a brain. NO IDEA how to run a successful company able to keep good employees. Most of their best MTs have left and they are stuck with a bunch of MTs fresh out of school.
Transolutions - Low, low pay and horrible QA department that is not consistent and will write you up over crazy things like commas.
Good - Keystrokes, MDI-MD, Acusis, Silent Type. Bad - MQ, MDI-FL, Transolutions, Healthscribe. nm

OP also stated.....
"obviously upper middle class"....so that does definitely have a bearing on the response made. There are so many variables here as well as trying to compare almost apples and oranges. I'm very sorry that happened to the little girl, but they knew she had been already for for 14 hours; they don't even know where Holloway is; she was in a foreign country when she disappearing and said foreign country is not sharing any information. There is a big difference between these two cases.
With all that being said, I do absolutely agree on one thing; there has been way too much coverage on Natalee Holloway. I don't believe they will ever find her. It was much too easy to throw her weighted body into the ocean or, maybe she was sent into South America to be used as "whatever they wish to make her do". I haven't heard any reports on incoming or outgoing flights from Aruba during that night have you? All it takes is a little single engine plane to do the job.
What I stated before was---
I don't object to people breaking into food stores for water or food, but why do they need to steal TV sets, break into people's homes to steal jewelry, guns, etc. That is STEALING, folks, like it or not. Why do they need to steal TV sets now when there is no power to begin with??? If they were just taking items that they needed to survive, that's one thing, but to take advantage of a horrible situation is reverting to the law of the jungle. The fact that these IDIOTS are SHOOTING AT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO HELP THEM IS A CRIMINAL ACT! As I have said many times before on this board-- a situation like this brings out the best in some people and the worst in others! The ones who are doing all the looting, shooting, rapes, etc. already had that mentality and are just using this as an excuse. They are not helping anybody by doing this, including themselves.
Yes, it should be stated that 500 lph
Not many people can crank out 500 lph and if they do, it's because the account has many normals and templates. That's rare, especially in acute care.
Even if you could transcribe 500 lph, 6 cpl is still WAY TOO LOW. Do not accept that rate of pay unless you feel that's all your work is worth.
Who stated they took the AHP
I am actually a graduate from one of the top 3 schools, never had any problems finding a job after school. It is a disappointing field to get into, people expect you to work like a worker in a sweat shop. I especially feel bad for people who have been in this business for many, many years, have the CMT credential and don't get the pay they deserve. In all actuality, it doesn't matter where you got your training or your credientials, you still don't get paid what you are worth.
However, I am glad I researched the schools 3 years ago before getting sucked into one of the diploma mills.
As stated below...
...the pedal you currently have should be compatible to play .wav files.
I had one the other day that stated
Patient was given an insect at 150 mg per hour for 12 hours. Yuk!
Excuse me, but as has been stated
very different. I'm happy that you have a good one, but we don't all get bonuses...even if we have excellent QA. So how 'bout gettin' off the high horse and jumping to conclusions when you may not have all the FACTS?
As I stated right at the beginning....
If it were ME, I would be blaming myself. Each and everyone of us are responsible, one way or another, as to what happens in our lives. Too many people over the past so many years find it much easier to place the blame elsewhere. That is one of the problems with our society. I was "accused" of being an over-protective parent as my child grew up, but guess what, he never, ever even came close to an incident such as that, or close to being kidnapped or any of the other things going on in the world; didn't fall down steps; wasn't involved as a passenger in a car accident, wasn't around drug users or "bad" people, because I PAID ATTENTION...I didn't allow accidents. Accidents are only LACK OF ATTENTION and lack of common foresight!
Also, my "over-protectiveness" did not in any way inhibit my child's growth. He is a Gunnery Sargeant in the Marine Corps and handles great responsibility well and has the foresight and the attention needed to prevent accidents!
As for the driver of that car, I'm not trying to "take their side"....I'm just saying we don't know what the circumstances were....my goodness, we have all run over something in the road at one time or another and when the weather is inclement or it is dark, sometimes you don't know what it is. I would certainly hope that if they knew it was a child, of if they find out through newscoverage that they ran over a child, that they will come forward. I'm sure that at least 99.9999% of people out there will not willfully run over anyone. Perhaps he/she looked down at the dashboard or the left rear window for just that one second and felt a thump as he car moved on. Probably wondered what it was but had no idea whatsoever that it was a child....why would any driver in their right mind think that a 2 year old was out on the highway at 2:00 AM or midnight or whenever it was????? 
as stated below, sounds like
office mangers padding their own pockets, NOT MQ policy... I would take it all the way to corporate
You have just stated my feelings exactly. nm

The letter I got clearly stated that you can opt out
of ASR and do strictly MT. I was told when I trained on DEP that at some point there would be a reduction for those doing ME. I see no reason to bail, as my office, at least, was up front with me. It's unfortunate if some offices were not.
It would be x3 or 3 times if stated
that way.
That was NOT how you stated, read
I am glad I don't do you line counts either, but I can bet they are not 2500 in 8 hours!!!
spaces are usually stated -- with or without
it's no trick at all
if they say just 65 characters, i would think spaces are not paid
yes, you could call them and that is what you should do
No I meant what I stated.
Taxes and other deductions come out of the $730/750 a week.
The monetary value of company provided health insurance, PTO, STD, LTD, life insurance, retirement, company matched income tax, etc., adds about another 30% plus value to my base pay.
not one name nor team name was stated....nm
.
I do believe as stated in this discussion
that we should care for them. I just want to respond to some things said. Yes, our parents have decades to prepare. But my parents worked very hard and were extremely smart with their money and had a good savings when my Dad became ill. However, to put him in a nursing home is thousands of dollars a month. His insurance paid 0 for it and Medicare only paid 20 days. For him to stay it would have drained every pain fast (and it did) and then he would get state aid of course. If you can at all help it, a nursing home is NOT where you want to put a loved one. Some are great if you can afford them, but even the ones you think are good can be very remiss in care. Trust me, I've seen it. They're grossly understaffed and some employees should not be in that field, enough said. I don't and didn't at ANY time feel caring for my Dad was a burden. I did feel it was my responsibility. He's a member of my family. If my brother or sister became ill and had no family to care for them, I would certainly feel it's my responsible to at the very least help them get care but for certain to make sure they're cared for. I can't say how a person should feel towards an abusive parent since thankfully I have no experience in that. No, I wouldn't want to 'burden' my children with caring for me when I'm old. But if I raise them right and I happen to need care, I would hope they would feel privileged and blessed like I did, to help make sure I get what I need.

Thanks for replies. As stated, sm
I do plan to ask the MTSO about it. I just wondered if it was more commonplace with smaller-sized MTSOs. Patti, that makes sense - the MTSO is in a small town, so maybe they are used to working on trust.
I've seen a lot of MTs not getting paid lately, and I have been burned in the distant past by a few, myself. I did receive a reply on here about the co., but then I thought, shoot, it could've even been the MTSO answering for all I know!
Thanks. I appreciate the opinions. No, I'm not brainless and I would never make a final decision based solely on opinions on a message board. Only wanted information since I don't have past experience with small MTSOs and how they usually operate. Once I said yes, I'd work for them, I received work right away, same day. I knew they were swamped and figured we'd do contracts later once things settled. Only worked a couple files here and there, then the big project issue came up and I thought hmmmm.... is this wise? LOL Probably being overly paranoid, but it's hard not to be with so many MTs being stiffed and usually by what seem to be smaller companies. Thanks again!
It is being questioned, as I stated, because (sm)
it is unusual. It may not be unusual for you, but it is unusual for many of us (prayer is not unusual, but to hear this being dictated is, and that is coming from someone who prays 5 times daily without fail). She has every right to question any dictation before placing it in the report. If an MT has no right to question any part of a physician's dictation, then what is the MT good for?
He stated he is going to fight that.
Said he is going to fight against that medical records thing. Didn't mean offshoring, does not sound like he has any idea about that happening to our medical records.
As I stated in my post below ...
Qualified is a great thing, but it's pretty clear that the industry does not want to pay for qualified.
The poor "education" that most MTs receive (and rely on without taking their studies further on their own) are accepted by SO MANY companies because, were MTs required to be more educated, the rate of pay would have to go up.
They are able to continue to pay extremely low wages with very unfair terms because we are not, as a whole, educated, represented in a unified way, or regulated.
I can assure you, if quality really WAS of interest to hospitals or MT companies, they would demand a certification program and we would be in a much different boat.
But because it is NOT of real interest or import to hospitals, doctors, or national MT companies, the "regular" MT will never live up to true quality standards.
It doesn't seem as though there's a mismatch between what the buyers expect and what the sellers produce, really. The market has adjusted to the point where both sides are comfortable.
It is what it is. And until one or the other of us cares more, it will stay what it is.
