Trans Tech Definitely the Best Choice

I cannot say enough good about this company. I previously had a horrible horrible job, dealing with the most hostile and unfriendly backstabbing managerial staff. Oh well, paycheck not there, well it must be your banks fault. Total lack of respect, incompetence to name a few, and could care less if your 6 feet under. Glad I made the change. I was miserable. So happy to be at a place where your happiness counts for something. Go for it!

Does anyone have a phone # for Trans Tech in TN?

If insurance is your primary concern, then Trans Tech may not be an option for you.
The family insurance is horrid, over $1200 a month I believe, and the single coverage would have cost me $300 a month. I had to pass on the job due to this. I would be working just for the insurance.
Their skin is not a choice. To commit sodomy with a man is a choice.
I don't care if they are attracted to men or dogs or goats. I care that they act upon it.
Your husband tech guys are not the bible. You have go give access for tech sm
support to get onto your computer. Just sit there and watch everything they do. If you still feel uncomfortable do not take the job.
Agree. You could be a Surgical Tech or Respiratory Therapy or a Med. Tech. nm

E. It is not my choice to make, it is their choice.
Every job has its pros and cons. The more US MTs we can bring in is that many fewer jobs going overseas. Besides, I like my job.
Re: AMA Trans
Hi. I also did their mentoring program, but after 7 months, I found my own part time IC job. They called me one time to offer me a hospital position, and asked if I was interested in it. I never heard anything more about it after that, and passed up a couple of good opportunities elswhere while waiting. I eventually gave up and found two part time IC jobs on my own. The only thing I got from them was experience, I suppose. I think alot of it depends on how well they like you. Also, with the $400 I spent, what was included was a digital voice player, etc. I ended up replacing it because when i wanted a foot pedal, nothing was compatible with their software. They are affiliated with Opportunity Software, who tends to charge more than anyone else for a similar product, just to be compatible with their products. Make your own determinations, I guess, about whether it is a scam or not, I just know that they didn't do a whole lot for me, other than give me some experience. Good Luck.

Does anyone have any information or opinions on this company? I am considering a position with them. I searched the archives, but the postings are all old.
STAYING AWAY FROM TRANS.
A. I strongly discouraged anyone I meet who has signed up for any kind of program at the community colleges or elsewhere who wants to learn transcription. It's really distressing to see people pay their hard earned money for training in a field that is virtually in the toilet. I find myself making 1/2 of what I was making 10 years ago as an MT with no benefits and 50% more grief.
Anybody do chiropractic trans?...
Have only done radiology before...was wondering if, with this background, would it be possible to break into working for local chiro's or if totally different type of work. Anybody having done this type of transcription before with any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
chiro trans
Yes, I do several. Not overly difficult. You must absolutely know your anatomy, and there are several "maneuvers" and tests that you need to know. If you have a Stedman's Ortho book, you should be fine.
California trans
Yes, they are a great company.
med trans student
Please consider starting with something ultra-stodgy and respectable... like a large teaching hospital or a university. the larger, the better. You will need this kind of atmosphere for learing, and exchange of ideas. Once you've been there a few years, you will know your field better, and the +/- situations around you about other companies. You will know a WHOLE lot more about what you want to do with your time, and your career. Let them pay you, teach you, give you days off and benefits, and then from tht position of SECURITY, you make better decisions.
Med Trans Schools?
Hello! Hoping that someone may be able to provide some guidance. I am looking at starting school in about 1 month, but trying to determine if distance or class room learning would be best. And how difficult is it to get started in the field? Any assistance that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Med Trans Schools?
I did distance learning through a community college for all of my courses, it was the only way I could even go to college with a job and family to tend to. I got just as good an education as some one who sat in class three times a week. However, you must be self disiplined to be able to set aside your own time to work and study. You also have to have a Proctor site, somewhere to go take test. You local community college should be where you go through for that. I also heard some libraries and schools participate too.
psych Trans
I did psychiatric years ago at a psych hospital before there were line counts and we were paid by the line. However I do remember that even the ESLs were somewhat repetitive. I don't know a lot about Expanders as I didn't learn with them, but from what I understand, they may be instrumental in helping you all making this line count. I would think that you should get the same line count as the rest of the company and it is unfair for them to make you get 500 more. Psych is sometimes considered easier in terminology, but on the other hand I found the reports to be very much longer. An op could be done much quicker. They should treat you all the same. I don't do radiology so I don't know why they have so much more, but this whole thing seems a little unfair to me.
cambridge trans
I tested at cambridge transcription and realized very quickly I hated legal transcription. However, I think they are a good company you can find them on the web. I think they also do corporate transcription, not sure what that's about.
There's several different "Global Trans"...
do you mean Global Transcription Services out of Davie, FL?
If so...I'd highly recommend them. There always seems to be work and the owner always pays on time (sometimes early).
can you work for two different trans. companies?
JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS POSSIBLE AND/OR LEGAL?

What harm is it to the company for another trans to know
what accounts they have? I know what account a lot of trans work on for other companies! I am another one who doesn't see what everyone is fussing about. It's not like hearing that hospital's name is going to send another transcription company after their work - everyone already knows that they have to have transcription so it's no big secret that SOMEONE is doing it???
It doesn't have to do w/ medical trans - SM
That's why this is the general board. Smoking and dinner message don't have anything to do w/ trans either. You ARE allowed to skip over posts that you aren't interested in instead of being sarcastic. :)
Did any of you not get paid by a trans. company?
This transcription company that I might work for says if you don't maintain 98% accuracy or higher for three consecutive work days, you won't get paid for those days that you don't maintain the 98% accuracy rate.
Has that ever happened to any of you? Do you think it's a bad situation to get involved in?
Doctor office trans
Probably smaller companies is what you want to look for instead of large nationals. Have you looked in your local newspaper? How about approaching a few docs on your own? I've done that before and did overflow for them.
Global Trans in Florida
I posted this on the company forum, but no one replied. I thought maybe it was overlooked. Does any work for or know anything about Global Transcription in Florida? Thanks a bunch
Are you sure you're not talking about e-Trans Plus? e-Tranz
e-Tranz does not offer benefits and have no employees, all ICs.
The owner has a habit of not paying the NEW MTs whom she hires just to get back into TAT but then does not to pay them. I was an MT for that company, and it was an awful and terribly stressful experience, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. When I would email her (at first) and practically plead with her to pay me, she shot back some very sadistic and unprofessional emails, sounding as if she was getting joy from what she was doing. It was the worst experience I'd ever had with any MTSO. She blocked my emails, and I couldn't ever reach her by phone.
She ended up paying me eventually after 2 months had passed since that last invoice, but that was only after I informed her via a third party that I would definitely be paying her a visit in person for a little face-to-face, one-on-one "discussion" about our little problem.
Please, please don't ever work there, especially if you live paycheck to paycheck and need that money to survive each month.
Any info on CTS central trans. serv.??
Can't find anything in archives. You have to reveal so much with these companies so would like to know about your experiences with them.
Thanks.
On job board "New World Trans" ...I am wondering

If so, any pro's or con's
Medical trans versus credit cards, what I had happen
I have a credit card for a department store who has a bank (a big famous band, by the way collect for them). I always pay online, but I have had trouble with this bank in the past. I couldn't get online to pay so my payment was late. They had someone call me from overseas, he would not tell me where but wanted to collect my payment over the phone (I had already by them paid through my bank bill payer). He wanted my address, telephohne #(which he had, he called me), my banking information to collect the payment). I said no way, how do I even know you work for this bank and I can hardly understand you and dohn't want my personal information overseas. He stated, "what do you care, I don't even live in the united States." Duh, what did that mean.
So, what I am saying is, he already had my information, he just wanted me to verify it and he probably did work for the bank but I really resented them sending my financial information overseas and have somebody in another country want to collect a payment out of my bank account. The bank did not have my account # though.
But.... what is happening is like with these kids taking guns to school, we get so desensitized by TV with so many cops and robbers, knowing creditors will be calling if we forget or don't make a payment, we just blurt it out. I don't anymore just because of knowing what can happen. This guy could have cleared out my bank account and what legal means would the bank have to prosecute someone overseas? Fire him? I won't even give this bank my account # because they want to charge 10.00 over the phone but it is free on line so I refuse to pay them over the phone, so they do this.
Big business can pay for the lobbyists on Capitol Hill, big, big bucks to get legislature for them to be able to do business overseas and save tons of money. Our president is one of the biggest helpers to this. I'll bet his records don't go overseas.
Couldn't open it but is this the one with music by the Trans-Siberian orchestra, the house? sm
If it is, it is totally awesome and I know I have saved it in my computer at home. I am not on my computer right now so can't view what you posted.

Not much of a choice is it
Not on VR yet. I have not heard one thing about VR, the checks being sent out or the pay letters. Been here 8 years. Everything I have found out about is off this website and that is pretty sad.
I think if I had a choice
between being beautiful and childish and stupid or being ugly and gruesome in appearance. I'd choose ugly and gruesome any day. You may think that what you are doing is funny, and it may be funny to you, but most of us fail to see the humor.
Bad choice
I work for Transhealth and very bad choice to go work for, take it from me. I have been working there for couple of years and have stayed on for circumstances beyond my control but am planning to leave hopefully by end of this year if not sooner.
It's my choice
If I don't chose to patronize a store, it's MY choice, regardless of the reasons. The person asking the questions asked me where I would shop if I didn't go to Wal-Mart, so I told her. My reasons are my reasons, so bug off.

not by choice
Whether any of us likes it or not, 10% of the population will be gay. I have not seen the movie but intend to see it. I think it would be rather naive to think that a gay cowboy has never existed. While I believe it would not be appropriate for children just as it would not be appropriate for children to see straight adult-theme movies, I don't believe gays are pushing this movie. Whether you or are approve or disapprove of gays, they are a fact of life. While I worked in hospitals in days gone by, many employees were gay and I got to be good friends with many gays. Trust me, from what I have been told by many gays, they would not wish this on any one. Gays are for the most part born this way. I would no more expect a gay person to do something inappropriate in front of me as any of my straight friends.
His choice! nm

First Choice does, too. nm

If you had the choice would you....sm
go hourly as a QA Editor or stay production as an MT? I have the chance to take a job as an QA/editor making between around $14+ an hour. I know I could make more as a production MT, but then you have the worry of work flow, ect. I was just wondering for those who made the transition if you like the change or ended up going back production. Thanks.
We have no choice...
Sally, I appreciate your post and what you have to say. However, if you want to work from home and the nationals will not pay more for your services, what exactly are you to do? If you have advice for me, I would sure like to hear it. I have over 20 years of experience in this field. When I started in 1984, I made 10 cents per line; I now make 9 cents per line. Times have changed for us, and not for the better. I would love to hear others' comments on this issue as well. And, yes, we are definitely worth more!
Job choice
You will have 2 days off a week, you will see your kids then. In the meantime, they will get to spend evenings with their Dad while you work. Looks like a win/win to me.
Also, you'll be modeling ambition, hard work, and motivation to your 3 kids - pretty great mothering in my opinion.
if I had a choice
I'd take your place over theirs any day, Hayseed, including the pig! Grass and manure beats asphalt and exhaust any day! They have a house. You have a home.
I would say that you really have no choice.
errors. I would present it as a probationary period. I would cut the rate, and then once the proofing need not be done, then up the rate. If you have to proof after 5 years, then you are defeating your purpose no doubt. Good luck.
Everyone here has a choice and I see
people would rather sit and wait for work and be almost in poverty so they can spend time with their child. Oh, yeh, makes a lot of sense to me. I said nothing about fancy home but I was able to take my children on really nice vacations and years later am thanked for those times. There is nothing wrong in having goals in life and working hard to get them. I am so thankful I have an excellent work ethic. I noticed you MTmom was one who wrote they were just sitting there waiting for work. Have fun
