Same Day Transcriptions IS a US Company

In Reply to: They are totally offshore. see inside - MT
You people don't know what you're talking about. I've been working for Same Day Transcriptions for three years. The company is owned by a young couple who live and work in New Jersey.
I do know that they have a facility in Manila because the wife (I will leave names out of this) is from there, but they live in New Jersey. I also know that they have - like me - transcriptionists around America too and they are very good to us.
It's one thing to bash a company that is bad, but these are good, honest people. That article was very unfair, not to mention inaccurate.
I think we should all rememebr that just because it's written in a newspaper doesn't make it true. I am really tired of seeing these threads of false rumors hurt good people. Please have more responsiblity about what you post.

Same Day Transcriptions IS a US Company - I work for them
I would like to clear the record for a good company that I have been working for for over two years now - Same Day Transcriptions.
Same Day Transcriptions is an American company. I know this because I have been working for them for over two years now. The owners are a young couple who live in New Jersey. She is Filipoino and it is my understanding that her family also works for them in Manila. I know that they employ many people like myself right here in the US.
I get very irritated with people (reporters) who spread gossip without checking the facts first. These are good, honest people who don't deserve that kind of slander.
Anyone looking for a good company to work for, I highly recommend talking to Same Day Transcriptions. They always have a lot of work and they are very fair people.

Transcriptions, Ltd
I worked for a company called Transcriptions Lts from 1984 until the mid 90's when another company took them over. I thought TL had dissolved. If it is the same company, it was a great, small company to work for.

Michelle,
Thank you for your question. My name is Errol Stryker and I am the Production Manager at ANP.
We are a fast paced, consistently growing company, that prides itself on delivering high-quality transcripts that are turned around quickly. We accomplish this through good organization skills and cutting edge file access technology.
It is preferred that our contractors turn around about 1 hour of recorded audio within a 24 hour time frame. If your skills and needs can accommodate it, then we can provide more audio than that on a regular basis. Our main focus is to make sure that we know what your needs are, and what we can expect from you. With that information, we assign work that fits your schedule/workload needs and fulfills the turn-around expectations of our clients.
Since we have such a large range of clients, the projects our transcribers work on change constantly.
Our clients range from world wide medical and pharma companies to small research groups, police departments, to churches. And everything else in between.
Some of these projects are rush jobs, most are not. I would be lying if I said that we provide perfect audio each time. I would love that for our team, but the reality is that we have to work with whatever our clients give us.
What is nice about the variety of work we get is that we can offer a healthy mix of content and quality.
All audio can be downloaded from a personalized online folders. In that folder one can access all necessary templates, guidelines and sample documents.
In addition to having easy access to your audio, we provide large amounts of support. We have a dedicated email account that fowards all "help" issues to everyone in the production department. If your issue is time-sensitive and critical to your project, we will get back to you, even if it's 11 at night. Also, our proofers are available to answer all of your formatting questions during the course of a project.
We only ask that you practice healthy communication habits and submit good work by the agreed upon deadlines.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
If you have any questions that I have not addressed please do not hesitate to contact me.

"Where Precision Counts"
JLG Transcriptions
Hi! Has anyone heard of this company and have an opinion? I am looking for a position at home (preferrably Radiology but I can do acute care "kinda") and I am nervous about all the national companies. I don't know who to trust. I don't know what equipment I must purchase or even how to set it up! I worked from home for a local hospital for many years and also 3 years for a service who provided all equipment. Any advice would be appreciated!
transcriptions have a skill also
as far as looking up addresses go!
It was Dependable Transcriptions, I think
Just so we all know where NOT to look for work! LOL
canned transcriptions
I think I would ask the company if I can correct all the errors. I have done that with my employer and he is happy that I have fixed things. I can't stand to have things be wrong and have my name on them.
disabled transcriptions
Thanks to all of you that gave me an answer. It is for my friend and I will pass on the information as this is something that she really wants to do as being disabled it is much easier working from home than trying to use public transportation in our little rural town. I will certain pass on you sugestions.
legal transcriptions...sm
Cold you please explain a little further why you hated legal transcriptions?
Does one also go through a training for that and needs a certificate for that?
Also ASR?
I guess payment is equal to MT?
Thanks
California Transcriptions Unlimited...SM
No schedule, no line commitment. They presently have an ad on the Job Seeker's Board. All radiology.
Transcriptions Unlimited Denver?sm
In Vegas now, but from Colorado Springs. Miss Colorado too.
Transcriptions, you are saying, are unskilled workers?
I spent over a year training for this job. It took my total attention, I spent so much time in books be it the regular dictionary or medical books. I thought I could go right into transcribing because after all, I had worked in hospitals, medical offices and the like and if I were not a trained professional then, I do not know what it was. Very, very hard for me to understand the ESL physicians and most of the hospital dictators just that, training hospital. I was glad I kept it up but I in no way demean the profession I choose for myself but putting a slant on it like you have. I feel sorry for anyone thinking in this day and time they will be able to make a liveable salary because it would take more than 1 job to do that, a full and a part I would think. Our jobs started being outsourced and that is why the really lousy salaries now, I do not think has to do with being unskilled.
When I was an IC, I just used my initials like this: "XXX Transcriptions, Inc"
NM means "no message," so why are you looking? 
Same Day Transcriptions is based in New Jersey
The people who own Same Day live in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. I used to work for them and will again if I can find the time. Nice people. They pay well and on time.
I agree with Megan.
Any current info on X-press Transcriptions?
I was told that I passed their test and was sent an IC contract out, but just wondering about any good/bad experiences before I sign for sure. Also, how are the pay and accounts? Thanks! 
Curious question about overseas transcriptions...sm
Do companies that outsouce work overseas have to pay taxes on the money they pay to the companies overseas or do the overseas companies have to pay taxes on work they do for the US? TIA.
Just curious if MQ/TL in your message meant Transcriptions Limited, Nashville, TN, bought by MQ?..nm

What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

COMPANY INQUIRIES belong on Company board, please!

....3 months later my old company rehired me; can you return to your 1st company?
nm
Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location
VR company? Not when the MT company owns its own VR equipment. n/m.

I have my own company email with my new company.
I can't answer your questions in your original post, I can tell you that with my new company, I have my own company email account, and I much prefer it. My old company had us use our personal email accounts, and they listed everyone who received emails in the cc line. They really never maintained those lists, and I received emails from them for a full five months after I quit - that despite my repeatedly asking to be removed from lists. Because the list had been passed from one person to the next in the company, I kept having to block sender after sender. Finally I replied to all, for each and every email I had gotten over a month's time. Well, that pretty much ended it.
I like to keep work and personal separate as much as possible.
It can vary from company to company.
If a company is on one coast and you on the other it can affect shift time, meaning usually if you want to start work 9-10 instead of 11 you could for 3rd shift, etc.
Buy your own... company computers are for that company only!

some of what you want to know varies from company to company,
client to client. The services each have their own QA grading system and you will get a copy at hire that tells you everything they deduct, and for how many points. This usually also includes formatting, such as wrong dates, right exam/wrong patient, etc.
You will need to know your punctuation and grammar first and foremost and use it properly, this is what you do. THEN if the client requests garbage in/garbage out (usually because they don't trust leaving anything up to us), you give it to them even though it hurts -- and should not be marked off QA for it.
Where do you study? Colleges with the 2 yr transcription course in my state make you take a year (or 2) of English grammar. No offense, but it's pretty much a 5th/6th grade review (is vs are, doctors' vs doctor's).
blanks will be limited, usually to 2, before you cannot send the report to client.
Wrong shortcuts - pay attendion to detail.
Varies from company to company
My first company I chose specifically because I knew they had a mentoring program and you had 12 weeks of "mentoring" to get up to speed. The training was very thorough. The first week was all training classes. There were very limited samples (1-2 per doc if at all). I worked there 6 months and never made their production quota, but they didn't care. When I asked my account manager about it, she said they knew the account was very difficult 95+% ESLs) and she wasn't worried about my production, that I was doing well.
I have also worked with companies that just did a training over the phone (usually about an hour) just to learn the platform. Then they did full QA for a day or two and then I was on my own. For both of these companies, I could review all the past reports of the doctors on the platform. That was really nice. I didn't have production requirements with these positions, just a daily schedule that I had to stick to. They just wanted to know when I would be working.
My recent company gave me a 10-minute training over the phone and gave me a couple of samples of a couple of the harder docs. I then had to submit 3 reports to the account manager to review, and then I was off on my own and was required to meet production immediately.
So it all depends. Each company is different. Good luck on the new job!
Try the company board with name of company.

My company did
They accessed and I watched what they were doing. It was an odd occurrence for me to watch...amazing, actually. I was amazed at the technology, but I suppose everything was okay, cause not had any problems from it. Like I said, I could see everything they were doing. It was like they had control of the mouse and I was watching with them sitting beside me!
My company did....
I was having major problems and they had to gain access to fix it. He told me that after our session, access could not be gained again. My husband (who is a computer nerd) confirmed this.

the company is e-Tranz out of Snellville GA
which company?
There is Transcription Solutions, Inc. in Texas and there is Transcription Solutions of South Carolina.
a company I got a job with
They say that as an IC I should carry insurance due to if I type something wrong or whatever they will not back me unless I am an employee and the Dr. or client can sue me......
company.
What is it you want to know about them?
You could try this company.
Try Beyond Words - I worked for them for a while and they are exactly what you are looking for. I don't know if they are hiring or not, but it can't hurt to try.

I have recently started working for JLG Medical. They pay good line counts for acute care. I was informed they are looking to hire over 100 MTs. So far, I am very satisfied. They do assign you to several different accounts so that you do not run out of work, but if that does not bother you, this is a company you might want to look into.
Just My Company??? Any others??
Is my company, Medquist, the first one to get set up with a convenient auto link in our posts, set up by MTStars, and not the posters, to direct readers to MTStars "review" site, where they get to inform everyone of whatever info they choose - outsourcing status, bad press, bad reviews, and all the negatives in one easy click?? I've only seen the link for MY company to date, as well as even further linking their transcription platform. Lots of other companies below with no cute link to "bash" them provided by MTstars. Is MQ by chance just your first choice of this new "change"? Company board has no such handy links for other companies either. While I work for MQ, and certainly have HUGE issues with them, this board will now be a true conflict of interest for MQ employees to even post on, as the board itself has now taken an aggressive stance of being anti-Medquist. So, do we support a forum that could help Medquist lose accounts, while helping their MTSO friends gain accounts, via a slanted info display? It was camouflaged before, the favoritism of certain companies, while flaming others, but still obvious to those of us who hang here, and still denied by Admin. But this is openly helping steer everyone and anyone to a preselected list of negatives, handpicked by MT Stars. Though, naturally, I will be told via "private email" that they are working on posting the positives. And, as dismal as all things MQ may seem, there ARE positives. Not gonna post them either, nor the negatives, as that is not my beef. While I am waiting to see what the courts decide regarding MQ, there are still 10K MTs employed by MQ, not to mention countless innocent tech support people, etc., so for MTStars to aggressively campaign against MQ using this board as their tool is NOT fair for the MTs. And Gee, isn't that was MTStars always said this board was about? The MTs, no matter who we worked for? Well, I can't give my suppor to a forum that is threatening to take MY income away as well!I know - nobody will miss me, good riddance, etc. But the point is - just wait til its YOUR precious company being negatively impacted. Pretend you work for Transcend, or Spheris, or Medware, or MDI, or Diskriter - (by the way, in fairness' sake, when I post this, all these company names should now have been converted to hyperlinks). If they are - fair. If they are not - slanted and NOT fair. If someone even posts negatively about your companies, some of you get foaming at the mouth - we all can relate that while we ALL are unhappy about something with our companies, its another thing to sit back and watch them being slammed with one negative after another. Imagine now if MTs and any reader can be directed via link from your very own post to some "review" section that just lists all the crap about your company. Not cool. Not impartial and will negatively impact the life of this board, and the honesty and credibitily of any referrals. This board is censored, but not openly. That is the WORSE censorship there is! We all know companies like KS have negatives get removed - POOF! not hard to figure - MQ's negative stay til eternity - preserved better than a can of SPAM! and it is NOT just about offshoring. That's just an excuse and 1 piece of the equation. Period. So, where are all the links for dirt on all the companies??? Probably won't be watching, cause I am so disgusted with this garbage. This isn't a place for MTs to share and support each other. Its a forum that is supposed to fool us perceived stupid MTs into thinking its for us, but its a tool for someone to pursue their one agenda. Which is fine, but be HONEST about it.

Has anyone worked for Breitner Transcription? Are they a good company to work for.
Thanks
RE: company
Searched archives for Breitner and came up with: Documents 1-50 of 74 displayed; i.e., a total of 74 posts, albeit, dated 2004 for the most part.
only company that has not been
trashed on here. I am just VERY unhappy with my current company.
what the company is?
I would like a $1000 paycheck again.
What is the name of this company???
Do you remember the name by chance?
company
Who do you work for?
You should just try another company.
There are a LOT of good MT companies hiring that provide you with equipment. Did you even try any others? MQ sucks, yes. But $10 an hour? MQ didn't do that to you... You chose that. If you're that skilled of an MT, try a good company!!
