What I would do...

is just sit tight and keep working with that company.  Wait until July 18th and see what happens.  That is only a very short time away.  In the meantime, get your resume updated and start applying to other companies and testing out with them.  It takes a while for the hiring process.  So then if your current company takes you off QA then you're okay and stay right where you are.  If your current company fires you or does not take you off QA (maybe they are holding you on QA because they increase your line rate when you're off QA and they would rather pay you the lower rate?) then you go to another job if you're offered one.  This way you will have a job at all times.

As for differences in QA, I wouldn't worry about it.  Any company anywhere you go is going to have different QA people saying different things.  Just read them and try to learn from QA as much as possible, but don't take it personally and don't read too much into it.  There are big QA errors and there are nitpicky QA errors and pretty much the errors you'll find QA disagreement on are the nitpicky errors that don't change the meaning of the report.  As long as it doesn't change the meaning of the report, then read it and let it roll off your back.  As for the supervisor not responding to your emails, they get QA complaints like this all the time, I'm sure.  They probably don't have the greatest transcription platform that includes an easy way for QA to provide feedback and so it's more difficult and time consuming for them to provide that feedback.  They're doing the best they can, I'm sure.  Lastly, I actually like a company where I can sort of be anonymous.  It really can be a good thing actually.  They leave me alone, I do my work, I get paid, and we're all happy.  Stick it out, but don't keep all your eggs in one basket right now and get your resume out, do the best you can, let the QA stuff slide, and know that just starting out in transcription is rough, but it WILL get better.  If you can make it through the first year with a company, especially in acute care, you will be able to land a job MUCH easier when you want to upgrade.
