APEX

I HATE APEX!!  My line count on Apex was about 1/2 what I get on EditScript.  I don't understand it, but that's the fact.


Is this the same Apex platform

Apex Platform

I also left Chronicle, mainly because of this horribly slow Apex platform.  I was really losing confidence, couldn't figure out why my line count was so low.  Thanks to you all for sharing; now I know that I am not alone.  The people at Chronicle were mostly nice (with a few exceptions), but "nice" doesn't pay the bills.


I do believe that Transolutions also uses Apex.


Lillybelle.


 


APEX platform?
Anyone out there using this?  I have never heard of this one.  If so, how is it to use, and is it user-friendly or not? TIA.
Chronicle - Apex platform
Anybody else having difficult with this platform?  I am new to the company and think everyone has been very nice and helpful and I think i would like my account but I just absolutely and without a doubt HATE this platform.  I don't think it is Transcriptionist friendly or production enhancing in the least.
Anyone making lines on APEX platform?

Have heard this is a slow platform.  Is it possible for an experienced MT to make at least 150 to 175 lines per hour?  Would you take a 2 cpl raise to switch to this platform?  THANKS!


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!!!

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!
It's Transolutions, as stated above.

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 . 
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.

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
