Work for a company that doesn't offshore. Support US MTs.

I highly suggest you contact support. AGAIN we are backlogged.
DUH!
Moving more and more work Global. Old news, but
XXXXXXX
Anyone else finding their work drying up in the NE region. Are you sticking around or moving out. I
am not sure what to do yet.
I use keyboard only....move along with the voice with my arrow keys, then...
my mouse is right where the voice is when I have to make a correction. Couldn't do it any other way.
I work as support for MTs and am an MT myself.
Just look at your view compared to the other answers to this thread.
It's a better place to work, IMO. The support is better too.
They are separate companies.
I don't work there, but that's probably something you should contact them about
It would probably be more helpful to ask them directly about the discrepancy.
Work Contact
I work on Meditech so will get hospital emails -- generally, though I just hit the ground running and never hear anything :)
don't go to work for TTS (Transcription, Technology, and Support). You will hate it.
 
MDI-FL has India contact they supply work to. nm

I am working to support myself so running out of work constantly, is not an option.
I realize there are slow times, but a lot of places offer backup accounts. Why put all of your eggs in one basket. I'd starve.
I work on a great platform, have good QA support and make
a lot more than 8 cpl. I even have GREAT benefits, which are more than affordable. There are good companies out there that pays for experience!!!!
I saw postings that all our work was overflow/extra support for hospitals. (sm)
Whatever happened, it has been ongoing since around the Memorial Day holiday. I too am getting worried. Christmas coming up, winter utility bills, not to mention the every day expenses we have in order to survive.
I am picking up a PT position. May be a little tired working the 2, but for right now it covers my butt.
Leave your email and i will contact you about possibly some prn work. nm

Prior contact said you work the first 2 wks WITHOUT PAY, and then you're offered a very low

Well, when I purchased my computer tech support told me Vista would not work...sm
They said that it would work but it would cause a lot of problems because of the way the hot keys are setup on the Vista. They advised me against getting a computer with Vista. So it was very hard for me to find a computer that did not have Vista this year because everything had switched over. I bought a used one!!!! Just so I could avoid problems with my work.
I don't know if this helps or not. Just letting you know what I was told. Good luck!
Does Transcription, Technology, & Support send work to India? Thinking of applying if not.
Does anybody know.
Open RadNet first and then open IT. Then the up Arrow and highlight to link, then OK.

Can the happy MT at Stat-Med post a contact email for them? The 2 on their website don't work. An

Do you follow along with the mouse? I follow allow with my right arrow, the cursor going over the
words...I mean what do you do with the mouse exactly? I know that is a weird question, but I am still not getting it...haha! It could be a difference in platforms for sure,because my mouse is completely worthless to me in VR. I used EXText.
I'm another MT who doesn't run out of work, never have. sm
Except of course around the holidays and a few summer weeks, I'm nearly always busy with actually more work on my accounts than I can possibly volunteer for. Lots of OT. I think the overhiring was true for a brief period last summer, but now things seem to be pretty well-balanced. LOTS of work, good managers, good equipment, nice people.
Doesn't work
This is the one I used, in addition to others listed on the website. I receive a MAILER-DAEMON failure notice on all of them ----- strange.
try transriptiongear.com's tech support. They do gearplayer tech support whereever you bought yo
transcriptiongear.com
Vonage, but I know it doesn't work well everywhere (nm)
x
That doesn't mean I have to work for a company
who chooses to send things out of country. I feel no need to suck it up and take it.
VOIP doesn't work with it.
I was specifically told, when I went to work for them, that Vonage, Skype, and other VoIP systems do not work with the dial-in dictation systems because of signal degradation and depending on the carrier, the tones the system needed to hear were different.
I don't know if that is still the case, but prepare yourself in case it is.
Doesn't escription work better than
what the Q has? People post their ASR funnies, and they are unbelievable. I think escription works better, but that's just through the grapevine.
moving that way
We are starting a new platform called MModal that will eventually lead to ASR so I am told. I believe some MTs are already doing this. I imagine they will do the same thing MQ does with the reduced pay for ASR.
moving to KS
Yes, I've spoken to many people and they all say Meditech Magic is very easy to learn and they have no problems getting their line count! It sounds like we are making a great move and, hopefully, a permanent one!
Good luck to you to!
Work for a company that doesn't offshore
I used to work for a company that offshores -doesn't mean I do now (sm)
Do I sense some some sour grapes here? 
My company doesn't pay for ANY holdays if you don't work
nm
Doesn't sound like the Transtech I work for...NM
nm
Yes, they have several ER accounts...the one I work on doesn't have any ESLs (sm)
but I'm sure some of them may have an ESL here or there. I started there in September after being with Medquist for 8 years. So far, so good. They have been very accommodating and the office staff couldn't be nicer. Good luck!
Have 4 accounts and no work. SR doesn't pay enough. Like the company, but..

I think this is the same person who complained about this before and she doesn't even work there

"For someone that doesn't work at Transcend...." sm
Note to TranscendMT: We are ALL in this together; it really doesn't matter which company YOU work for. It's data collection (wink wink) ;-) MTSO trends DO matter to ALL employees, not just employees of said company and the company cheerleaders can't stop people from posting on a public forum. A lot of us have been transcribing before there even was a “Transcend.”
Good luck.
Doesn't explain why the work has been so low for 6 months.
It only makes sense in the context of this week. Hope WX is not about to MDI us.
Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm

All acounts are moving to ASR
Webmedx is going to be converting all its accounts to ASR as soon as they can. Whatever they offer you now will be cut 30% when your accounts are converted. If you are Acute Care, you may be stuck with heavy ESL accounts now and depending on how much you like ESL you may have a hard time reaching the minimum 150 lines per hour because you will be training on up to 6 different accounts with different account specifics. In my opinion, I would ask lots of questions of the recruiter to find out what type of accounts they are hiring for and how long before they convert those accounts to ASR. Really depends on your frustration level. If you want consistent and hastle-free work, WMX may not be the best place for you. GOOD LUCK.
moving on is telling it like it is
I too have had horrible experiences. I think we both were previously working for the same company, a company highly recommended on this board. It was a huge disappointment as far as lines. It was impossible, too many foreign dictators and something funny going on with the line count. You wrote me and told me about Keystrokes. As well, I read your many posts about KS. I took a chance with your advice and accepted a job with them. You were speaking the truth and not just another recruiter. Thank you so much for recommending them and posting your experience with them:)
when vague, keep moving (I WOULD)

moving to the country
I'm moving to the country and will not have broadband or DSL available for who knows how long. I have not been in this situation before and would like to know if any of you know of any companies that do not require either of these - I will have access to dial-up and possibly some sort of high-speed that is brought in by a radio receiver on the top of my house. It's a good move - just maybe not a good move for an MT - any help with companies that do not require high-speed with cable or dsl would be appreciated.
moving to home
You might want to find out who your hospital is outsourcing to and check into them since you already know the dictators at your hospital well.
There is a lot of difference between companies. You just need to narrow down what you are looking for and which companies offer that. You need F/T with benefits, so that narrows it down some. Some companies pay just a base rate (per line) and others with a base rate with incentives depending on what time of day you work, what volume of work you do, or others. If you have any way of figuring out how many lines a day you type, or at the very least, how many hours you work and at what speed (and maybe someone on here can give you an estimate on lines per hour), then you can compare pay plans. You also need to make sure you find out how a line is defined at the companies you apply to. The standard is 65 characters per line. If a certain company defines a line as 55 characters per line then they can pay less per line because it doesn't take as many Keystrokes to get a line. Hope that makes sense. Most companies do go by 65 cpl, though.
There is no one-fits-all company, so don't be discouraged if the first company you go to doesn't work out. The second may.
Here are some companies that generally have good things posted about them and have benefits (as far as I'm aware): Keystrokes, TransTech, Webmedx... I'm drawing a blank on others. I would recommend staying away from Medquist, Spheris, SPi, Softscript.
Thanks for clearing that up....now I'm moving on ;) nm

there it is - MDI accounts moving to VR
We expect the integration with Transcend, including the conversion of some of MDI's business to Transcend's speech recognition-enabled BeyondTXT platform, to increase MDI's earnings...
Doesn't matter how nice they are, I wouldn't work
xx
Doesn't matter how many companies you work for. I'd like to know how you manage to do this???
What kind of work do you transcribe?
How many hours a day do you work?
What kind of line rate do you get from the companies you work for?
How many lines you do an hour?
Do you work as an IC or employee?
I'm very interested in hearing how you manage 100,000/year.
Beyond Text doesn't work long enough to allow you to get any lines. nm

Transmitting back the work doesn't cause a problem
because the file is a very small fraction of the size of a voice file. A voice file is huge, but a text file is small in comparison, so doesn't take near as long to transmit.
After the first file is downloaded though you can work, so it isn't like you are just sitting waiting for them to download. When I had dial-up I would set to download and then go take my shower.
