I bet they are an Indian company. The
Wordwide in their name is a big flag for that. Also, they don't have a website. If they want funds to start to work run.
Indian company with base here in USA..stay away..I worked for them once.
I would rather work a lemonade stand before I would work for them again. When you first get the job, you might possibly speak to an American voice. After that you will be dealing with Indian Team Leaders, Indian QA..Indian everything. Not to mention the fact that the Indian QA will tell you that you are wrong on something when you are right. Also, once I had a team leader (Indian, of course)who questioned me on whether or not I knew what headings when into a physical examination...I was transcribing surgery notes. Nonsense like this happened all the time because I would point out the error that QA would make (usually Stedman's to back me).
There are great companies out there who are strictly USA workers, and they are posting on here all the time on the job seeker's board..you just have to keep looking.
Hope that helps! Have a wonderful day!
Except for Indian and Filipino ones. nm

Indian MTs will work for peanuts
so a lot of American hospitals and doctors are using services, some based in India, some based here, that employ Indian MTs in order to save a few pennies. The quality of the work they get back does not seem to be important to them. Much of the MT work being done in India is substandard, but it's cheap, so they get plenty of takers. The offshoring phenomenon is a major contributor to the low line rates U.S. nationals offer to U.S. MTs as well as to the difficulty many MTs are having in finding good employment with plenty of work. You are wise to stay away from the Indian companies. Many American MTs who have worked for Indian companies or Indian-owned companies have had difficulty getting paid and many report being subjected to verbal abuse by their employers.
American jobs for American MTs.
I hope you lose everything you own because some DEPENDABLE Indian - sm
took your job!!
Wait until you start dealing with their Indian techs, in India!, and run out of work. nm

Awful place for a newbie to start! Indian techs, uneven work load, very little help along the way.

Didn't she sell it, or just your company to an offshore company. The woman
has a screw loose.
No, the woman who owns this company can't transcribe herself, much less run a company.

Any company that charges anything to work is not a reputable company. However,
if a company offers a job and requires that you have a certain pedal and offers to provide it and then take it out of say your first paycheck or couple of paychecks, then that is acceptable.
My belief is that companies that charge you for software or anything else is trying to make money off of you.
While $11.95 isn't much, figure that amount times 10 or 20 or 100 and what do you come up with? Smells like a scam to me.
company was sold so they have no company to hire you after graduation!
They are not a reputable school and I went there so I should know. Even when they did have Trans. Relief Services they never answered my email about employment upon graduation.
What company?
Hello, I recently read your comment and was wondering what company that was that hired you as a newbie? I'm just starting out and I need to work at home to be with my son. Would you mind networking with me! Nice to meet you..e-mail me at kennyandjenny@hotmail.com
thanks! Sincerely, Jennifer Hokanson

Can you say what company you are working for?

this company is advertising on the job board - Dictate4Me
not sure if this is the same company, but...
A friend of mine who was recently looking for a job had been talking to a lady from New England Transcription (not sure if this is the same company??) and had been given the total run around from them.
First the lady said that they paid 9 cents a line to start, then when my friend got the contract (which she had to call the lady for 5 or 6 times), it said 5 cents a line. Then she never heard from the lady who hired her until the day before she was supposed to begin the job. Then, the day she was supposed to start, she was told there was no work, and she should call back in a few weeks.
Needless to say, she didn't take this job, but it wasted about 3 weeks (from the time she accepted the position until they told her it was no longer available due to lack of work).
If this is the same company, maybe ask for the contract up front and review it carefully. Ask what the work load is like and all that good stuff. Hopefully it's not the same place.
Company
May I ask which company you are working for?
Take the job if you like the company
I would take the job if the company seems professional. The pay rate seems reasonable for someone coming out of school. If the people you are working for are helpful, you will gain tremendous experience. If they will help you with further training, then you are off to a good start. Taking a job with a higher rate and being in over your head might not be the best path. Just my opinion.
What company is it?
.
If you like the company then I would
You can load it and it will have (I think) 2 operating systems but XP should work fine. Not a lot of places are compatible with Vista yet that I know of.
Why do you think that the company you
work for should bend over backwards to give you the account you want? I am sure other MTs are on that account, so would it be fair to take someone off just because you want it???? If you want to find another job fine, but don't think that just because you want certain accounts you will get them. We all take the bad with the good.
About the company
Yes i surely can. It is a SCAM company, STAY AWAY from it if you don't want to lose your money and time.
What is the company name
What is the company name?
I have yet to see a company that uses MAC. The
programs used are not compatible.
bad company
If they are the company that asks you to give them $400 (or something like that) then stay away. Any company that makes you pay for their "software and training" is crap. There are too many better companies out there that don't require you to pay to work for them. Would you go to any other job and pay to work for a company? It's a little backwards.
If it's a reputable company, yes. SM
Some companies do charge a small lease or rental fee.
company advice
Just wanted to know if anybody has ever worked for Breitner Transcription and what they are like?
Thanks!
I think that depends on the company
I think some companies but a time frame on when you can test again if you do not do well the first time. Good luck
depends upon the company
The company I'm an IC with is located in CA but I live in TN. Since I've had a problem with my sleep for *years,* it was an ideal situation in terms of what accounts to put me on. I'm in charge of H&Ps on three specific accounts. They need the reports by 6 a.m. their time, which is 8 a.m. my time. No problem. It's rare for me to sleep until 4:45 a.m. Usually, I'll get up around 2:30 to 3 p.m. I just go back to sleep for a few hours when the morning rush is done. My work day ends by 4 p.m. my time, which is 2 p.m. their time.
Position at company
I am a newbie but would be interested in the company that is hiring. Could you how to reach them?
Sounds like a company I know in
Alabama near 280. If it is and you want to talk, send me an email. I worked there before.
This is problematic. You may get a company that
specializes in ER notes to test you. You should also look for ads featuring in clinic work. There is no way that you can apply for acute care because you don't any OP experience and it doesn't appear that you have much other acute care. Good luck.
If they are a reputable company and have really
hired you, then yes, they will require this in order to employ you. How else can they avoid hiring illegals or escaped felons, etc.
Good company?
I am a well trained and experienced professional MT and have been for 13 years now. I have been looking at several of the work-at-home companies out there. Does anyone out there work for ImageStat Corporation and are they a good company to work for?
What is this wonderful company
So what is the name of this company you started working at home from in 2 days after grad? What's their website. Help out the people looking please
Wow! I could be working for the same company!
I felt the exact same as you do!! After six months I am finally on paid status, but the pay is not much. Good luck! Let me know if you find anything better!
MT company supervisors
I have just started with a large MT company and I barely hear from my supervisor. I am very self-reliant, but had some basic questions for him. He was offline the first day (he had never contacted me at that point) and when I finally caught him on the phone he said he would send me an e-mail with answers. That was two days ago.
I was just curious if this was typical for the industry?
Ms. Newbie
If you look at company requirements
they will not accept your nursing as MT experience. It is not the same job.
Please go to the best MT program you can afford, first.
You're in a tough gig -- starting MT work, new mom with baby at home ...good luck but you can do it with a good education behind you in MT.
Depends on the company
I have a part time that requires 2500 per week part time and two that have no requirement. I generally do 2000+ lines per day with them all combined.
Try Lyon & Company...
I do not know much about them other than a couple of recent grads applied there, but it might be something to check out.
Congrats to your MIL. Also,her school may have a list of companies that are presently hiring their graduates.
Depends on the company
It is harder to get a raise with one of the big nationals. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt to ask. Talk to your supervisor and give her the reasons you feel you deserve a raise. List your good qualities such as dependability or good grammar skills. You have a 50/50 chance! Good luck to you.
Are you looking at a specific company?
I just wanted to chime in because I know Execuscribe uses Chartscript and they are who I work for now and my advice would be to find a different company. Chartscript is great, but Execuscribe is not. Just my opinion.
Transcription company
Hello,
I was wondering if any of you have heard of the transcription company called, Advanced Language International Systems. (alsi-llc)? Thank you.
Sure sounds like a certain company
that is notorious for this very thing.
In my company we have instructions
to change q.d. to daily
Feedback on Company
Has anyone got feedback on company Lee Perfect Transcription?
company and experience
Lynn, how much experience do you have? From which school did you receive your trainng? And which company are you working for? If they hire newbies, please, I want to know! I need a job now, not in two years! :-)
Thanks for the Company Reference...
newbiemommt! I'll definitely check out that company. I also came across another Philippine company close to where we will be living. The hesitancy I have is that unless an expat (I'm not really expatting...I'm coming back to the U.S. in 2-3 years) is married to a Philippine citizen ( I won't be married to my filipina love until we can wade through the bureaucratic government redtape there) it can be very difficult for a foreigner to get hired by a Philippine company. As far as I am aware , Philippine-based companies pay at local wage rates...which is peanuts. For instance a entry-level filipino worker may bring home 12,000 pesos / month , which sounds like alot , but that equates to about $300 / month. If I were to be hired by a U.S. company and make just $1,000 / month I would be bringing home approx. 40,000 pesos /month and we could live very well on that.
I would expect that I could make substantially more than $1,000/month working as an MT being paid at U.S. wage rates , which is attractive to me for three reasons. The first is that my love and our children will be able to live very well while living there. The second reason is that by being paid the going Ameican wage I am not taking part in depressing the wages American , U.S. based MT workers are making. The third is avoiding the hassles of just getting a Philippine company to even hire me and also avoiding the difficulties associated with getting a Philippine work permit work visa. Afterall , we are not going to stay in the Philippines for any longer than necessary and when coming back to the U.S. It would be great to already be working for a U.S. company all that time , with nothing more needed than just a change of address.
I really , really do appreciate your suggestions. Thanks much.
Ed
Jade, what's the name of your company? sm
and how can newbies check this out to be sure it's not a scam? Do you require the purchase of anything in order to start an internship? TIA!
Anyone have information on this company?
 Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any information on Transcription Relief Services out of Greensboro, NC.  Not sure about them.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!
current company
So, if you were offered a job and not going to take it, mind sharing what company it is? I'm looking for work. I'll take what I can get!
Yes they do, but then they are hired by the company. If you can't
get hired it isn't going to be helpful.
