not just Indians

One company now is going to train Vietnamese, another Chinese (just what we need, a communist country with our information). I frankly would trust the Indians more than any of them, including the Filippinos. The Indians have been our allies for years and years. The Filippinos are dreadful to work with. The company I work for only uses them and they are absolutely horrible with errors that could kill somebody. As a QA we try to teach them how to do it right and all we get back are incredibly rude emails from them. They even say they don't have time to spellcheck, nor will they, and their QA only opens the files and sends them on. At the risk of losing the accounts, my company tells us now not to anger them, we need them. They used to get points deducted for mistakes, now they don't, but the domestics sure do. It's like we are THEIR employees. They are the worst MTs and the nastiest people I've ever dealt with. I would any day rather work with Indians. They were polite, respectful, always answered emails, always made attempts to do better. The others are cocky and could care less what we think or what we need. Needless to say, I'm trying desperately to find another job. I don't work for offshores, nor will I. This company now is just pushing through the files without QA because they don't want to hire even though we keep telling them the files are horrible and they could come back on the company legally, but it's all in the money. Less QA = more money. I would NEVER go to a hospital or clinic my company does the transcription for, NEVER.

The company I work for sends all of the easiest work from each account to the foreign freaks --- leaving the hardest work for the American transcriptionists, who are expected to still maintain greater than 98% accuracy, and the American transcriptionists who were sending too much to QA were fired!!!!
Indians by far!!!

Tell me about their arrogance! The apartment house I live in is loaded with them. They are dirty, they are loud and arrogant. It's terrible.
Can still do that and not help the Indians earn our money.

THE POST IS NOT ABOUT INDIANS BUT ABOUT AMERICAN COMPANIES
that want to send their work overseas and train them to transcribe it. I want to know why the moderators feel it is okay to post jobs from spheris and healthscribe and others that were mentioned in the article when they undoubtedly hire us in the US until they can train more transcriptionists overseas and then leave us high and dry.
Yuck !!! Will take Pakistanis and Indians over Asians any day.... nm

Weren't the Indians given a reduced rate to get CMT?

To me they are harder than Indians, Spanish or anything else. Strange.

I get it. They are paying the indians 1 or 2 cents a line,
which isn't much to us but it is to them, and then they just pay QA people a few cents more a line to edit the crap that comes back (probably no worse than correcting some ASR) and there ya go. $$$$$
Focus is run by a bunch of Indians who don't know what they're doing.
Not many. A lot of Indians use Canada as a crutch to gain US business and
for processing. You'd probably do better at MTGab since it is a Canadian MT site.
better or worse than the Indians saying womting, wenous insufficiency...
Cannot stand hearing the *w* unstead of the *v*!
They recently got rid of all their Canadian MTs, guess to make room for more Indians. nm

I've interviewed Indian MT's. Most have two master's. Most Indians have two master's
it is part of their government's specific plan of action for positioning India to be at the forefront of the global economy.
