Anyone with TransTech

How long does it take you to get your 1100 lines, on average.  Also, how strict are they with you about sticking 100% to your hours.


 


TIA


TransTech
No work lately.

I have been with Transtech for a little over 1-1/2 years and it works great for me. 
TransTech
Anyone know anything about this company. They sure do sound "good". Anyone who can give some insight please post, especially if you are currently with TransTech.
TransTech
I have just been offered a position with this company. Could you tell me if the full-time employees really make 11,000 lines a PP? Also what kind of platform do they use. I have heard that the ExText one is not so good. I have not done MT for a year or so, so I've been out of the loop for awhile. I REALLY need an honest answer on this company as there are other companies that look good also. As you said, they looked very good. I talked to the recruiter and everything sounds SO wonderful, almost TOO good to be true. PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE. The 11,000 lines a day sounds ludicrous to me as I have NEVER made that many lines with any company/account I worked for.
TransTech
Could you tell me a little about it. Do you really make 11,000 lines a PP. Is it an easy account to do given the recruiter says they have a lot of interns that come and go. I REALLY want to take the job offer, but I'm SO afraid I'll end up with a company that is really hard and demanding and is hard to get a good line account. ANYTHING you could tell me would be most appreciated as it would save me SO much work looking at other companies first before I give her my answer. I TRULY NEED YOUR HELP ASAP as she was SO nice, but now I'm seeing other companies that look good too. I need a company that will supply the PC and everything and most of them don't. That is one of the reasons I liked Transtech also.

Try TransTech
You cannot go wrong with them.
I did with TransTech.
They told me about 3 times via email that they would call me the next day.  I kept following up and finally I got a call the third time that was 3 days later than stated in the email.  The person was very friendly and apologetic, but I couldn't wait around 2 weeks to hear from them, so I ended up somewhere else.  I don't regret my choice either after having interviewed with them.  The pay was not good.  They did offer benefits, but since I don't need them, I'd rather have the $$$.
Yep, MQ and Transtech NM

Transtech
is anyone currently working at transtech
In my case, it was TransTech. I went with them
because they were the only company that I could not find a negative post about on this board. Live and learn.
TransTech computer

When they hired me they didn't have a computer to send me right away so I said that I wouldn't mind using my own since I have 2 personal computers.  Okay, so J phoned me to set me up and worked and worked with it and like you, couldn't get the program to work properly.  He even told me he would call me back and called Dictaphone himself and he DID call me back.  By that time I was just getting frustrated and *I* asked him to please just wait and send me a company computer when one was available, which if I remember correctly they either located one for me that day or the next.  But he was never in any way discourteous while trying to get my computer to work. In the 2 years I've worked for them I have had very few problems and when I have had a problem I would call the office and either get J or T immediately or one or the other always called me back within no more than 10 minutes and both have ALWAYS just been so very pleasant.  If you're really interested, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a conversation with Deb, she is a wonderful, wonderful person and believe me, she really CARES about her MTs. 


TransTech does. I think the ST will work with it. nm

Anyone who works at Transtech
have you been getting a lot of reports on a certain account that have been under a minute for the past couple of days, like echos, stress tests, etc. I have been getting these like nonstop for the past 2-3 days. I guess I shouldn't complain because it IS work, but I get so annoyed with these piddly little dictations that take more time to set up for than to actually type them. It's really killing my line count. Am I alone or are others experiencing this?
Not at TransTech, They are/were all MTs. Even the owner used to be an MT. One of the
things I really respect most about this company actually. All supervisors, managers, leads and even the owner used to be MTs. I think the only ones who weren't are the IT staff.
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed.  That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups.  Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge.  Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful.  Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges.  You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy.  You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now.  I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids.  My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play.  Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance.  Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem.  But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life.  Know what I mean?
I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM

and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition.  Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book.  These are all the books I use the most during my day.  You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those.


I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references.


Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot.  It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary.


If have worked for TransTech for two years,
you undoubtedly know that Debbie and J go way back and used to work together at another company (reference a recent email you should have received from T, the new president that states that she, J, S, and D all worked together before TransTech).  I received an email from Debbie stating that she was sorry I was dissatisfied with tech support, but that they had never ever had any complaints about them before mine.  Kind of shows me where I stand in all of this.  Many times when managers and tech support are friends, it's the MTs who suffer.
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.
Dano - do you work for TransTech?

TransTech does - small fee per month (sm)
I have been working for them for about 3 months and love it there.

I think she is thinking of the one in Austin, I believe.  Don't remember when it was, but I do remember someone shooting at the students on campus, was it University of Texas?


Don't come to Texas either - UGH

We haven't hit 100 yet, but i'm sure it is in the near future. Thank God I'm not in arizona!
TEXAS school
Does anybody know of a good MT school in Dallax, TX
Texas School
Stay away from the "trade" schools and business colleges - nothing but a waste of your or the governments money - I know, I worked for one. Try to find a community or junior college with an accredited program. The noncredit courses are also mostly a waste of your time and money - unless you already have some experience and are just wanting to brush up. Hope this helps.
lived in Texas too
I posted to you about where to look. We also lived in Dallas and they are overpriced too.  You don't pay a state income tax in Florida, but there are a lot of hidden sales taxes and such.    The problem with living on the water is you can't get insurance and if you find it, it's extremely high.  We left Florida and went to Biloxi, Mississippi and it was about half the cost of Florida and we were 1 block from the beach. We had planned to go back but it will take a few years to be rebuilt. In the meantime, heading to TN as they do not have a state income tax, a vehicle tax, and the property taxes are much much less.
Was this company in Texas?

Pecos, Texas
is where I was born...a hot dry dusty place.  Lived around Ft.Worth area growing up, then got married and raised a family around Cleburne, TX....I currently live in Arkansas, where it is beautiful and the people are more friendly.  I have 20 acres in the woods, so could not be in a better place for me.  I have my two dogs, three cats and together we are a pack, with me as the leader of course, ha ha.  Kids have grown and left home, are both in their 20's.  Gotta get back to work.  Living out here is the perfect place to work from home, but I cannot just work all day in a nightgown, have to get dressed except for shoes (like to use footpedal barefooted) to get in a mindset of "going to work".
Hope this is not a doc in Texas. sm
I had a podiatry doc that did this and it was not worth doing as he only wanted to pay 3.50 per page but the margins were 0.25 on each side, 9 size font, and 0.25 top and bottom margin. Awful, awful, awful!

Live in Texas....
I'm on balanced billing since I like to know exactly what my bill will be every month. It is $238/month year round. We have a family of 4 and keep the house at 75 all the time with all the fans running as well. My DH would like to keep it cooler, but that is cool enough for me!
MOVING TO TEXAS

Stay away from the D/FW area and Houston - too much traffic and illegals.  Drugs, gangs, etc.  Try to find a small town or country setting.  It is HOT and the concrete of the cities just increases that heat.  Also the pollution in these areas is bad so if you have any type of lung or breathing problems - stay away.  However, if you do not mind sitting in traffic for an hour to get to a job 10 miles away - then you should move to a big city.  If you are planning to work from home, remember that internet is not available everywhere in Texas.  Personally, I wouldn't move to Texas - I would choose SC or FL - much better options.

Is it the Texas heat?

I think we may have worked for the same lady!  She never had the AC on in her office except for a unit in the room with the phone equipment to keep it cool, so my husband used to say that it must be the heat frying her brain cells.  If it isn't the same lady, it's a real clone.  I don't work for her anymore, either!


 


 


Actually, in Texas the employer must have
if they do have such policy, they must follow it.

I checked. :)
