In Reply to: TransTech testing???? - MTinTX
they could at least say either way, hey, you did not pass the test etc... but I never even got that. I even took someone's advise and followed up by emailing HR and asking them if they could let me know either way but I took the time to do the testing as well as I had been also testing with others and needed to know whether to keep waiting on them or move on. Obviously, I moved on. I find it totally unprofessional to ask someone to take time enough to test and then they cannot even have the common courtesy to tell you that you stink or whatever. I could handle the truth, but to never heard anything, UNPROFESSIONAL. I do wish you great luck and maybe they just only contact those who pass and let the rest of us figure it out on our own.

Guess I didn't. Heard back within a day of taking the test, sm
but that was several years ago. Depends on current recruiters, I guess.
I heard pay was low, so never bothered
There is some information on WAHM.com message boards about them.
Sorry I couldn't have been of more help!
I'm taking the test now. I'm not too sure about this?!?! sm
I saw somewhere where somebody said they got paid every Friday. Somebody else said about once a month. I don't know. Their website looks promising. I'm in the process of getting the test ready to send now. I'm not sure if I'll even finish it.
Test taking
I have just taken a test that must be designed to get into medical school with all of the choose the correct, fill in the blank and give the definition, was sooo..long.... and so intense, and why do we have to take 5 voice tests, don't they understand if you can do one or two, you must know what you are doing? Just tired I guess trying to find a good fit after doing this for 20 years.
Test taking
It was for DR and it was just long and timed too.
I'm in the middle of taking the test myself
and I am so relieved to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing significant trouble! I have 10 years' experience, but that is useless when dealing with this quality (or lack thereof) of dictation!
If it is the one I think it is, I started taking the test and -sm
It was the actual doctor that would be the client, and the names of the clients were on the test......!!!! Can you say HIPAA ????? I immediately stopped the test and did not even respond to the recuriter. Definately not right no matter what it is...
I think taking the test now will speed up the process.
It has a place for you to submit resume, so they have resume and test together. If you haven't heard anything in a couple of days call.
Anyone actually get a callback from taking the test at Keystrokes with their recent ad? sm
If so, how long before you heard from them? I took the test yesterday and just wondering what to expect. I think I did relatively well with it...had one blank though...but still pretty good.
Thanks.
Is Etransplus worth taking a test which last 1 1/2hrs
Hello, I am currently working with a company but need to change due to lack of benefits. Etrans has sent me a couple of emails about joining them, but I wanted to know if anyone works there, is it worth it to take that test for 1 1/2 hours, when I could be transcribing. Also, what type of accounts do they have and do they have anything that is entirely online and does not need a phone line to dial into a system, would love to drop my $40.00 a month bill for unlimited long distance.
Thank you so much in advance for any info!! 
How soon after applying and taking test for Transtech to hear from them? Thanks.
nm
Yikes!! Contemplating taking their test. Any other opinons PLEASE.NM
nm
No, poster knows better; just knows this board is busier and taking a test!
WANTED A QUICK ANSWER
Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from Prescyse after taking the test?
Will they get back to you?
Anyone else have problems taking USA Type test? Cant get my comp to play the sound file.
Any suggestions? I really want to take the test but their sound file keeps loading onto my music program, and when I try to load it on Windows Medial Player it tells me I need codecs, so how would I find that to load?
Applied with them 2 weeks ago; nothing heard so far...sm
Didnt see much on their website either, and can't find anything in the archives.
I did about 2 weeks ago, but havent heard anything. nm
xxx
I've heard others say they wait 2 weeks
They use ancient equipment anyway. Get with a company that is with the times. Furthmore KS'ers on this board seem like recruiters to me or else they get paid to put nice things about that company. I think they're 9 cents short of a dime. I can feel it in my gut. No company is that great. 
Oh, I also heard they start everyone at 9 cpl, which is a lie! That was told on this board as well. Don't believe everything you read. I'd rather work for Transcend or MQ! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Tested at e-trans 2 weeks ago also and never heard from them...nm
nm
Never heard of them. I thought the 16 hours + 2 weeks of training
s
I have taken the transcription test also yesterday and have not heard from them yet?
Do you have any update with your application? I wonder how the company is?
So good to know! I took the test but have not heard back
I don't think I will take the job, but do you know if they even hire ICs? Just so I know! TXs
I wish TT would hire me. Applied and took test, but not heard from. NM
 I guess I suck.
I applied there, took their test and have not heard anything. I guess I failed. nm
,
I did apply, heard back, and took the first part of their test. nm
nm
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
Yep, I applied there, took test, passed it, and I was to be contacted, but never heard a thing from
nm
I just heard back that I passed the test and they asked when it was convenient to contact me by phon

Phoenix Medcom- Another apply a few months back, ask to take a test and never heard back??
I applied a month or two ago, received an email from someone asking if I would take a test and said she was getting ready to go on vacation for a week, so I hurried and immediately and told her I'd love to take the test. I never heard back. I waiting thinking she went on vacation and would contact me when she got back to do the test but nothing...very strange..Just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
never bothered me
nm
Usually a spelling test, a punctuation test, and maybe 3-6 test files to do. Sometimes done using

QA is great. I am not bothered
much by ICQ. I have had no problems with them. I have been there since the summer and am very happy there so I guess they were different a few years ago.
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
If you bothered to read my post--
there were other problems as well. There were problems in all of their depts, not just QA. Let's just say that communication is not one of OSi's strong points. The company's overall attitude played a big part in my decision to leave. I also stated that there are some people who work there that are wonderful and I have no clue why they have not left yet.
I would like to know how you know what my attitude is? I am stating my experiences, you are the angry one. How would you "know" how I take my feedback, whether I blame people, etc, unless you are in the QA Dept? What's my opinion to you, anyway? What makes you such an "expert" of knowing people's attitudes over the years? So, what reason do you have for your panties in a twist? What's YOUR problem and why are you defending OSi so vigorously? You sure are taking this rather personally for someone who is not "involved".
I am not the only person who has had problems with OSi. Apparently there are a lot more out there after reading some of the other posts. We can't ALL be wrong about this company. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if there is smoke, there is fire.
If you bothered to read my post
I agree with you dear
WEll the bottom line is if you don't want to hear anything that is posted here, then don't read it. It's as simple as that. It appears some people are complaining and posting about people who are posting. I have to laugh at that. Bottom line also, people are not happy at OSi and talking to a supervisor there is like talking to a wall. People are upset because we have a QA Manager who doesn't know anything and is not qualified to do her job and Management does not care. I think their opinion is "oh well, so that one quit, we will just hire another one". Do not ever believe you cannot be repaced. Unfortunately, people looking for jobs and are turned off by OSI. If anyone ever asked me a question about OSI i would be perfectly honest and state my feelings and then refer them to this board. After all this is a "company forum" that's what it is here for. I personally am not one sugar-coat anything unless it's the truth. I have to agree that most of the posts here are right on target. And that's why I am soon to be out of here too.
which just proves further that the other companies really have NOT tried and can't be bothered. n

Depends on what bothered you 6 months ago...
I have worked for the Q for almost 9 years. I must say everything cycles with them. Something that bothered you this time last year may have changed. They continually change the way they want things done, especially when the higher-ups change. I give it another year and they will be back almost to where they were with us 2 years ago, about the time they did away with the IC positions...that flexible part time thing is dangerously close to that.
I'm more bothered by any poster who defends

If you had bothered to read correctly- it said
Some years ago working inhouse and my having seniority and supposedly had first choice at vacation, the time I chose was a time another person with less seniority needed for a trip overseas. She had put in for the time I wanted and I was told like it or lump it and I did not have a choice in that week. Being as I was making good money, I just sucked it up and stayed there. HOW DO YOU GET SHE TOLD SOMEONE ELSE TO SUCK IT UP????? SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HERSELF. READ CORRECTLY NEXT TIME.
Sarcasm. I knew I should not have bothered to answer. nm

Why have they bothered advertising or tried hiring people when they do not have enough
manpower to get it going in an efficient manner. Truly, I hope Shiela is also not the one responsible for doing payroll. That may well be too much on one person. I have worked in offices where doctors were too cheap to hire extra help and just ran us into the ground with so much work until we quit from burn out. It just not the right way to run a business, having one person do everything. I do feel for Shiela but who would want to contact her now and burden her more. BTDT
anon who is so bothered by misplaced post
Maybe you need do to something about that anxiety disorder. So someone made a mistake. Don't let it ruin your day.
I got the chapstick too. I honestly have no clue why they bothered sending anything.
nm
May not be lying.. *certain* companies never bothered to check their work.

If you bothered the CEO of the company, who I personally know does not care what is written here, sm
than you are taking this all way too serious. The CEO (can't use names here anymore) used to come here but does not anymore except here and there to keep up on some industry changes(her words). She does not take this stuff serious and neither should you.
What you shoud be concerned about is the fact that you felt it necessary and OK to run to the CEO of a company on a weekend for insignificant things. If she is laughing, it is probably at you. If she is upset, it is probably because it has gotten out of hand, but I bet she has bigger things to deal with than a public board with anonymous posts. Gheesh. Both sides are out of hand.
From someone who bothered sending a resume, I take it back. I'm shocked at the immaturity
level that is going on. There is no way I would even think of accepting a job that would have a recruiter who acts as you have on here. I'm pretty sure you burned all of your bridges. I feel for the companies who hired you to represent them. How proud they must be..NOT.. Wow..
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
Just took the test myself. No actual dictation to transcribe. Just a written test.
For 13 cpl, I might do it if the dictators aren't a total horror.
I just took the test today - thought it was a great test of MT skills.

There is no written test. Must have been a different company. I took their ortho test sm
and it was easy. You had to know your terminology but it was easy to understand AND I used my foot pedal.
Is the test through mttest.com a timed test? Thanks. nm
