Trans Am associated
HI...I have just signed up with Trans Am, so far I am happy. They are very helpful and sooooooooo nice.
If it works like they say I am happy I spent the money to get the program. I cant find anyone else to give a newbie a shot at working.
They say how badly we are needed, but make it sooooo difficult to get any experience.

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF MED TRANS INC. IN ARIZONA??
trans am
What is bad about them?
Trans AM
I was just browsing and noticed you post. I too was caught up in the Trans AM thing about 2 years ago. I lost some money, but I got to transcribe some practice files and had them edited for me. That gave me enough experience to land a local doc. From there to an IC position, then to Spheris and now I work for a local multi-speciality hospital. Don't give up. I didn't.
trans am
I can't believe someone can claim being a good Christian and pull stunts like that. They should be put in jail or sued or something
Trans am
I have not had personal experience with them but have been told by many to stay clear of them.
You can do a search and read many threads on them.
TRANS-SCAM
you will train forever and never get paid! Run away now!
cALIFORNIA TRANS
I beg to differ. I've been with them for nearly 10 years and love my job. No, she doesn't help you set up your computer but the hospital help desk does. And yes, you do have to be somewhat computer literate. What's the big deal with once a month pay?
Allstate Trans.?
Does anyone know anything about Allstate Transcriptions? They have a mentoring program for newbies, supposedly, and you have to pay $99 to get into it. I'm very leery of having to pay for anything to get a job.
psyche trans..
are you looking for someone to work with you on this specialy? I would like to try my luck if you are..
Trans. School
I need some help from you newbies. I know of someone who wants to take a transcription course at home. I don't know which one to recommend to her. She is disabled from working in an office but is free to work at home. I'd like to help her get started. So, if anyone has anything to say about a school, positive or negative, please post a reply. It's been a long time since I've had to research this, so any help would be appreciated.
trans am associates
can anyone give me the scoop on trans am associates? a friend suggested that i look into it, but i keep seeing a bunch of information about it being a scam. are they legit or just scam artists? help a newbie out please.
Try E-Trans Plus out of Nashville
Also, DTS out of Tennessee often hires newbies. Don't get discouraged... My girlfriend graduated and started getting scared after about 5 wks with no offers. She is now working for a new company and loves her job. Just be persistent.
New MTs - Beware of Trans Am Associates
This website is a scam - For starters, you have to take a transcription test by listening to dictation (can't use the foot pedal), writing it down on paper, then type it in an email. Most legitimate companies let you use your foot pedal.
They also offer to give you free MT training (no such thing unless you are trained on the job on-site). The catch? You have to buy almost $400 (if not more) software.
Trans Am Associates scam preys on new or aspiring MTs - please be wary! I am an 8-year MT, and have never been asked before to take an MT test this way, plus this company has numerous entries on www.ripoffreport.com about "students" that have been swindled.
.....if you haven't figured it out by now, Trans--Am is a scam- sm
any company that asks you to pay $$$ in order to work for them is not on the level. (I am not talking about renting equipment like a C-phone, footpedal or a computer). I have not heard of Career Builder, but again do not pay to work for anyone. As for trying to get a job just keep applying and test everywhere you can.
Trans am Assosciates? any info or feedback ?
I've been checking out this company and they require me to buy alot of software...I know I have to have some software, but I just wanted to make sure before I spend too much time (and money-possibly) on this company. Help, please....
Trans Am isn't a BAD company, it's a RIP OFF. Don't believe folks? Go ahead and find out.

Medical Trans. Staffing School- here is one Summer
OK! It was harder to find than I thought. They are in the middle of an offer to train right now so, Summer, you can see and read what they are doing.
I didn't want to use the one we currently use for fear of being biased, but we did use this school for staffing about 1-1/2 yrs ago and they did a good job. Our company paid down the tuition somewhat to attract a large number of students at one time. We didn't pay it down this low.
http://www.medicaltranscriptionjobstraining.com/page12249.asp
$1990 for the Basics, short internship and a job. If I'm right this is about the same price as Career Step but you don't get internship or a job there.
I think M-Tec is over $3000 and Andrews is probably close to that. How much is Andrews? Does anyone know their tuition cost?
You don't need to pay retail prices to be trained and have a job. I know Community Colleges are very long and pretty costly so this is a good alternative.
Of course, Penn Foster, US Career, etc are really a tough way to go. I think a recent grad of US Career told me she had trained on tapes- Whew!!!!!!
I'm afraid there aren't as many MT staffing schools as I thought. The other one I found didn't remotely compare to this one. Beautiful website!
Med. Transcription
I went to MT school through At-Home Professions. I am 20 years old but I guess I was really looking for something that would allow me to have a family when I am ready without having to change professions when that time comes. I started working six weeks after completing MT schooling. I work at home as well.

CAI Transcription
I would not recommend CAI to anyone. My mother has been a Transcriptionist for 17 years and was absolutely blown away by the inaccuracy of their program. I did try to get into Carrer Step and never received a call back from them. I have heard a lot of good things about Andrews, but it is quite expensive. I just want anyone considering going into this field, before you spend the money, that it is not easy to find a job. When you do find a job, you do not make much for quite awhile. Best of luck in your search for the right school.
transcription
Wow, I had no idea that it would be so intense but this is what I want to do so I'm going to give it a try. Thank you very much for the information
Transcription
I read most of the postings. I am currently in a community college for medical transcription. Will I be able to find a job after graduation? I know I'll have to start at the bottom of the ladder, that's fine. Is my hard work and expectations in vain?
transcription
I had 2 transcription classes along with my other classes.
DIT Transcription
Does anyone know anything about DIT Transcription?
DIT TRANSCRIPTION
Just curious to see if any knows anything about or works for DIT Transcription out of South Carolina. Any information appreciated. Thanks.
DIT Transcription
I am the owner of DIT and can assure you that we are a legitimate company located in upstate South Carolina with transcriptionists from all over the US working from home. We are a Christian based company and operate as one, both with our transcriptionists and our clinics. If anyone has any specific questions about DIT, please feel free to contact me at ddana@dittranscription.com and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions.
To address the fact that the website has not been updated, due to the fact that we have grown to over 750 doctors and have used the money to get new clinics up and running and not updating the website.
Donna, Owner, DIT Transcription
Also maybe try USA Transcription
I hear they hire newbies and there were some ads on the boards recently. It also took me a few months to find my first job (on this site) three years ago and the pay was really low...6 cpl, but it was worth it because after training I went up to 7 cpl and after that I went up to 10 cpl....so hang in there!! Good luck!
(My first job was not with USA Transcription....just saw ads recently and thought it a possibility for you.)
Try DIT Transcription
I am currently in training with them, cpl rate is a liitle low but IC work is tough to find right now.
Are you looking for someone to do your transcription?

DIT transcription
I've been thinking of applying to this company as I have heard a few good things about it. Does anyone know the platforms, pay rate, employee or IC status, if they direct deposit and pay every two weeks? Thanks in advance for any info.
I would not try PJ Transcription
The woman who runs this company is extraordinary unorganized and sometimes rather nasty in her emails, which she will bombard you with and perhaps fill up your email box. That is what she did to me. Also, and here is a big also, she does not pay until she gets paid (so she says). You will have no way of knowing whether or not she gets paid or when you will. Bad experience for me. I am just letting you know my experience. However, she was all too happy to hire newbies when I was one.
Not on the list is DIT Transcription. They are a nice group of people, try them too.
transcription
I do clinic work and always have plenty of work and make fairly decent money. I have no complaints.
United Transcription
I was wondering the same thing too. I can't seem to find a website for United Transcription, Inc. I'm beginning to think it's not legit. The whole "no experience needed" things sounds to good to be true and I've never seen any other transcription company say that you could make up to $75,000 per year. I'd be careful with that one. Don't give them any personal info. until you've done a lot of research on them.
hospital transcription
Ok I have looked at hospital MT jobs in AZ and all of them want experience and almost none of them pay well or even list pay in the ad, your best bet is to look on monster.com or try the specific hospital site. for example a big hospital group in AZ is Banner Health, they have their own website and job listings, so try that direction.

Sierra Transcription
Bought a program from ebay called Sierra Transcription Training. All I have to say is BUYER BEWARE. I changed to Career Step even though it is longer.
Sierra Transcription
Stay far away!
Entertainment transcription
I am wondering if there are any transcriptionists out there who do entertainment transcription. What are good companies to check out?
Cost of transcription course?
What does $442 get yah? This can't be real is it?
finding a transcription job.
I read what you said about sending a flyer out to speech and language pathologist in your area. I graduated this summer from school and this actually sounds like something I could do. Thank for the idea. Just need to figure out the flyer part.
Getting a transcription position
I've worked for 19 years as a Transcriptionist for a mental health facility and now that I'm close to being able to retire, I'd like to do the transcription from home, but because I'm not certified, can't get a second look. Any suggestions???? Thanks

Coding vs Transcription
There is salary information available at the AAPC website, www.aapc.com. The link to the 2004 survey is http://www.aapc.com/recognition/salary_survey.html .
Coders tend to make a bit more and have more room for advancement into consulting, training, and compliance positions. The work requires somewhat more in terms of medical and technical knowledge, the ability to deal rapidly and effectively with constant change and uncertainty, the highest attention to detail, an absolute intolerance for error. Coding, like transcription, requires very high literacy and deductive skills--you have to enjoy reading constantly and solving frustrating puzzles.
Coding is not as amenable to working at home, although rapid progress is being made in this arena.
You can't go wrong with MT. Most of your training for that, and your on-the-job experience, will give you a huge head start in coding. Much of the background material is the same--coding just adds to it somewhat. If you choose your school right, you'll get an MT job right away, working at home, and you can then think about broadening your skills into coding. At that point, a few years from now, there will be more remote coding opportunities for you to move into.
Coding and Transcription
 Thank you so much for the information I have a little background in coding but it seems as though Medical Transcription is in more of a demand right now as far as a work at home job. The cost of tuition with either Andrews or Career Step is a bit expensive for me and I want to make sure that I make the right choice in terms of being able to find a wahj after certification.
Medical transcription is a lot more than just
typing. It depends on your knowledge of the material, how clear the dictation is, your knowledge of the material, how bad the doctor's accent is, your knowledge of the material, the quality of the recording, and, oh yes, your knowledge of the material. It also depends a lot on your knowledge of the material.
Have you tried general transcription?

Transcription Service
Have you looked in the yellow pages? I know of one small service but I believe it operates out of Dora or Sumiton. I'm not near a phonebook at the moment, but the number should begin with a 647-, of course I could be wrong...sorry. If I find it, I'll let you know.
Where are you graduating from?
Kids and transcription
I cannot image having small children under foot while doing transcription. When I did transcription, I had to have total concentration. Of course, I only worked for 12 docs in a small hospital, and I was "it" -- the only transcriptionist.
However, I worked for a good hospital, and they allowed me to leave and pick up my two elementary school children and take them to what was then called a "nursery". I then went back to work and made my 8+ hour shift. A wonderful and challenging career!
Radiology Transcription
Hello Everyone:
Anyone out there doing transcription for Radiology? can you give me an overview of what the work is like? Do you think a "newbie" could start in radiology? Any information you offer will be appreciated. Thanks,
I started by doing transcription
for veterinarians! You might try a local specialty veterinary hospital to see if they need any transcription help. You do need to know a little bit about dog and cat breeds, but the body parts are pretty much the same (except for the tail)!
getting a Medical Transcription Job
I have taken a Medical Transcription course through PCDI but every job that I have applied for has wanted experience. How do you get experience if no one will hire you? Has anyone else had this problem? Please help...I'm so frustrated with the whole thing!!!
a medical transcription job
I finished a medical transcription class in June of 2005 and worked for a surgeon for 3 months. I was driving far for little hours. Can anyone tell me of a company that hires transcriptionists with very little experience
well, if you want to do medical transcription, then you want to get a job.
to get a job as a newbie is not as easy as you think. Some of the schools partner with companies who will take their newbies, with some additional specific training. So it increases your chances of getting a job - that is, if you want to work for the companies that partner with the school. Otherwise, you may want to go to the community college if they have a certificate program because at least you will have college credit towards your degree for your next job, when MT tanks.
