Do you mind if I email you some more specific questions?
:-)
I have never worked a weekend day. Please email with specific questions.

Which mediscript?? What are your specific questions? nm

answers to your specific questions
12 hour window - no, you give them your schedule of hours you want to work and if it works for them, they approve the schedule and you stick to it. However, they are flexible if things come up and you need to start an hour late or early - just let them know ahead of time. Also flexible for appointments or if you need to trade a day for the most part.

Expander Program is ShortHand for PC.

You would have to ask their IT guys about transfering your entries into their computer. I just sat my two PCs next to each other and created the entries on the SH on the work PC, only took an hour or so to do and well worth it.
Couple specific Encompass questions sm

Do they have a consistent workload?


Heavy ESL?


Their benefits package seems amazing, their requirements seem very well detailed and they seem very structured in general.  I like the black-and-whiteness of it. They seem to have their biz together.  Anyone that can verify?


Any loopholes on their behalf from anyone's experience, such as docking for errors, exreme nit-picking (although my accuracy is excellent thus far).  I'm hoping they're not a company that portrays themselves as reputable, family-oriented, professional, etc. and then harass and turn into monsters once you're on board.  Thanks!


I work for eTrans and love it sm
I've been with them since April after I got fed up with the Q. I have never had trouble making my line count without killing myself to get it, and the people are very helpful and friendly. Line rate depends on how much you produce, so it's up to me, myself, and I to make the money I want. I use their platform but know that they are getting some ExText accounts started also.
Could you email me?? I have more questions..Thanks .. nm

KS MT, could I email you with some questions?
:-)
Please email me with any questions that you have. sm
I work as an Editor for them and will be happy to help if I can.
I do - email me with questions. nm

Used to...email me if you have questions
nm.
Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm
nm
I work at etrans and have had trouble for 2 years -
email me privately...
I think you would probably need to call or email them for all these questions. (sm)
Maybe it depends on each individual situation.  Don't know.  Send them an email with exactly what you posted here, and see what they say!
ETrans is looking for PT people on Extext for clinic work sm
I spoke to the recruiter on Friday, 10/24. I don't do clinic and I prefer to work in Extext, but they don't have OPs and cardiac stuff, which is all I do. I THINK she said she had rheumatology, psych and ortho on Extext, all clinic stuff. It is EtransPlus. You can look on Job seeker's or email me for her email address.
Would someone who works at Amphion, please email me? I have questions nm

Would a current TransHealth MT (preferably a happy one LOL) pls email me to answer some questions?
email above
sorry dont give out my email address but happy to answer questions here

If they hire you to work on a specific account
Sounds too controlling for my taste.
I am part and I do work specific hours and
unless we have tornado warnings, lightning and such, I am usually at my desk working away. I really hate to see someone ask about trying to find a company to fit in with their schedules. Most companies do not try, never have and probably never will, to fit in with our schedules. I feel the person writing such is very naïve and has not been in the work force very long.
Used to work for them, would never again and definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone
bt
I work for etransplus and would recommend them - nm

I work there and am very satisfied and would recommend it - nm

But is it against the law to state ICs work specific hours or days?
nm
Do they hire for one specific work type, say OP notes? nm
x
Employees work a specific shift at TransTech?
Or do you just have to commit to a certain number of lines per day?  An an IC with my current company, I commit to X number of lines per day, and as long as I get them done within 24 hours, I've met my commitment.  Don't want shift work, i.e. 7-3, 3-11, 11-7.  There is absolutely no flexibility in that.  Noticed in post before this that Diskriter requires a shift commitment or a split shift. 
Because people only want specific work types, easy dictators and certain hours...
That is why some people find a shortage of work, while others find an abundance. I cannot believe these last few threads and the vitriole of some of your responses. Any time a company is mentioned, any company, there are always a bunch of negative responses.

Maybe you all should check within yourselves to find out why you do not have enough work.

I happen to work for a company that is being negatively mentioned in these posts, and I am extremely happy. They may offshore, but they treat me very well, are communicative and I have never missed a paycheck. I also will do any work types, ESL, and will help out extra when asked. This is one of my first times on this board and I probably will not be back.
I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.

I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.

I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.


Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work.  I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
I work for DTS and will answer any questions sm
Please provide an email address for me and I will be glad to get with you.
OK - I work at TT and I answered the questions
I was answering the questions she emailed me about. Maybe I should have put her part first and my part last.
I work for the company and to answer some of your questions
When you talk about flexible, what do you mean, working whenever you want or just what? I might get slammed for it but do not care but companies need to be able to set some kind of schedules to get their work done, so dont know exactly what kind of flexibility you want. How long to make money? Well, again that has all to do with the person working. Are you a newbie with 3 months experience or have you worked 20+ years and doing the work is like taking candy from a baby? Variables. Is is worth accepting a job there, depends on you. I work there, have for about 3 years, love it but everyone is different.
Anyone out there work for Chronicle Transcripts who could answer questions?
Thanks..I am thinking about applying with them but wanted to see what employees had to say as far as working for them etc..
Doubt a great # will answer all these questions, but I work
s
Anyone work for Breitner. They keep sending me an email to work for them. What
do you know about this company at present.
Actually I posted looking for answers to my questions above, not looking to answer questions, but

to here goes...firstly, I don't know about the platform, only that it is Word based. Secondly, I have many years cardio, and thirdly, no the test was not hard. Still looking for any answers to my questions above. Thanks in advance.


Etrans
I have been at eTrans for 15 months now and I like it. You have to produce to get the good pay so I do not recommend it for part time because the rate is not good for that. They lack communication sometimes is a bad point and can get very irritating. They pretty much leave you alone and are flexible with your schedule, which for me is a plus. If you do adhere to your schedule you get extra to your line rate so it is pretty much your choice. I have been on a radiology account since August but did acute care before that. The account I had was pretty easy. I love the radiology account. They have good insurance with normal rate. I know some have the same insurance cheaper, but in the world today what we pay for our insurance it is pretty average. You do get net reimbursement and PTO. I am sure I forgot some things, but maybe I helped in the process.
etrans

I've gotten a job offer from eTransPlus but I just don't wanna jump into another fire and end up hating it.  How are they to work for?  I truly just wanna be left alone and allowed to type and not get bogged down in politics.


thanx in advance


eTrans Plus
Any feedbackon eTrans Plus???  Thanks!   
anyone know about Etrans Plus?
Have any info on this company?  Is it a good place to work?  Stable work flow?
etrans
I worked for etrans for 6 1/2 years since the day the doors opened.  In the beginning they were awesome.  Over the years, they have turned to crap.  Me and other veteran employees were recently laid off for making too much money.  Then they denied our unemployment, got caught with that and then tried to deny our PTO, got in trouble for that.  They are losing more accounts then they are getting.  I have a job now where the owner actually cares about her employees.  Loyalty and dedication means nothing to Etrans.  They will hit you when you are down.  I have many references to back it up.
eTrans Plus...RUN
Hey everyone,

Just wanted to post my most recent experience in my hunt for a good place. eTrans-Plus is the company, located in Nashville TN. First of all they use DVI Voicewave which is a very old system which has not been improved upon in ages mixed with a virtual desktop which you have no control over to do your transcription in. They provide ShortHand software, but if you want to have what you're used to you're just out of luck. I also would like to comment that their HR person there is EXTREMELY out of order. They also have some of the highest insurance rates I've seen.

Welp, just needed to vent...Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
ETrans Plus
Can someone tell me what medical ETrans Plus offers and the requirements are to get them? TY
etrans
Does eTransPlus offshore?  Do they have ASR?
eTrans
I have been at eTransPlus for several months working on the ExText platform.  So far so good except for the QA person assigned who I find ill-prepared, unclear, defensive, and has no interest in carrying on a 2-way conversation.  Get past her and everything else seems to be fine ...so far.  I have learned, however, that these companies are often not what they appear at the beginning so I hesitate to give a rave review with my 4 months of experience.  Can't speak to other platforms.  This one is wonderfully easy.
eTrans
I work for Etrans and feel the tiered pay is very unfair. The quality of work is the only thing that should matter when it comes to compensation. There have been days (almost a week) at a time when work was low and I had my pay cut to 6 cents a line for the entire pay period. Also, while I was waiting for training to be set up on a new account, which they forgot to schedule, I sat for a whole week with no work, my pay was cut. This has made me ineligible for benefits also. There are many reason a line count can occasionally drop temporarily. Why should I have not only less work but at a lessor rate?

They have no problem calling me asking me to start work early or to work over when there is extra work. I don't get paid extra for that nor is there any overtime for working extra days. I don't know how this is legal.

I like eTrans and the people there are nice. They don't bug you a lot, but I still need to make a decent living which I am not. Again, I think the quality of work should matter more than quantity. For some of us, we can only type at a certain speed, and after 20 years transcribing, I think I have reached my peak, so this is it. I am not going to get any faster.

Thanks for letting me vent.
