Medware..Anyone know what they pay their speech editors. I have applied but havent heard back. I
was just curious if it was worth my time or not.
Is Apex an internet word-based platform? Havent heard of it...

I havent heard a word about an incentive and I have worked there almost 2 years so I guess I didnt
qualify for whatever status you needed to get an incentive. Is this something you get every pay period if you meet a quota or just something quarterly. Just curious.
I havent either
asd
I havent been with them long SM
But I can honestly say that they are the best company I have ever worked for.... Tons of work, excellent communication, very laid back, and a great bunch of people to work for.
I havent received anything. nm

You have to keep wondering with the new MQ pay plan that we havent gotten yet if they are going to
reduce the ASR rates or what have you and are hiring in case people decide to quit when the new rates come out. I have not heard yet what will happen with the ASR rates although they have said many times they are going to change them.
I havent found a 9-pin to USB and I have looked everywhere. One place
told me that 9-pins were becoming extinct in other words so they didnt even bother selling adapters for it. I have no idea why the platform company, Escription, does not have their program updated so you can at least use a 15-pin that you can buy an adapter for and my laptop would take a 15-pin, but all Escription is compatible with is a 9-pin unless something has changed and no one told me.
I does end with an "S"..but if they havent jacked you around, I wouldnt worry about it.
I think for me, I'm probably going to bail. It's obvious the recruiter has too much on her plate as we're all getting the same story about forgetting things and contacting us in a timely manner etc..very strange but in this biz..flaky is the name of the game and they think we're the flaky, job hoppers.. I wonder why..Give us a decent job with decent benefits and actually WORK and we'd be happy, but that doesn't happen anymore. We just get jacked around.
Yikes!!!! No offense but more than 1 MT has said they havent gotten paid. I cant take a chance.
Thanks anyway..
Havent you decided to accept their offer..or have they offered a position?
If so, what kind of pay scale do they have..
Chartscript- Just starting a job using this platform. I havent begun training yet but in looking at
the manual, it looks complicated or that you have to open up a lot of thing, I-player or something, a VPN, then the platform etc. Tell me it will be easy to learn and your able to whip through reports. I got spoiled on Escription where you just load the platform and go and then hit on button to upload. No VPN to sign into and load, no player. Just one thing. I think I'm getting to old and set in my ways to learn new systems. It seems like a hassle, so if there are any Chartscripters out there who can give me some positives, I'm all ears. I tried one other job that was the same thing and even got worse when I had to open up a ton of screens just to get demographics etc..and that was before I could even type the thing. I just cant see how that would be productive. You have 10 minutes into it before you even type the job LOL.
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm

Havent been at Scan Medical too long but finding the work drying up. Anyone else there
notice this. 
I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl
nm
I've only heard of Intellitype. Never heard of Teletype.

I heard about it from my
supervisor. It is going to be adjusted according to what level you are, level 1, 2 or 3.
Me too. Never heard of them
They told me 6 to 6.5 cents per line. Yuck!
I heard.....
one of my doc's while dictating telling another she was leaving for Louisiana to help out. I'm sure it will pick up again soon.
What is this, never heard of it.
:
I heard that from an MT there, too, and...
...since I personally know the person who did the QA on on the account she referred to, I asked her and she said "no!"

Interestingly, the MT who claimed they outsourced a particular account did not even work in the same group.
I don't know. Never heard of them.
:)
I have heard a lot about this
company not paying its MTs many, many times. 
Never heard of them. - nm

I heard about their QA and that
it is very difficult.  I heard they will fire you without warning for a low QA score.  That is just what I heard, not sure about it tho.
Never heard of one in GA
Where did you see info a a Sten-Tel in Georgia? I work for Sten-Tel in MA.
I have never heard of that and how does someone because a pet?

Honestly, how does this work? There is no way for them to preselect all of your work is there. I just do whatever comes up in my queue as I am sure everyone else does. I just happen to be on a very busy account and I am sure others feel the same way, work-wise. I do not understand the attitudes.


Where did you see their ad? Never heard of them before. nm
s
Heard about that
Yes, I just talked to someone I email who works for them and she said that also, about not getting down time pay if your QA is under 97%. I work limited part time so don't ever get down time.
I can't keep up with all the changes and inconsistencies. I don't like the new phone system either. Have to jump thru hoops to talk to someone and then you aren't really sure if you are talking to the right person. Yes, venting. That's okay. It is nice to have someone to talk to and see if others feel like you do. Do you think things will get better??
No, not heard anything.

Has anyone heard anything from
I am still owed money and haven't heard anything. Each time I call I get voicemail. Does anybody know if the company is still open?
from what i heard...
one of the hospitals on oahu outsourced to heartland (they released MTs of 30+ years), and i heard that the quality of the reports became real bad due to the people in heartland not having good english skills.
Me 2, heard nothing at all
must not need them too bad
Anyone heard of them?
Pay? ESL overload? Benefits? Enough work? Platform?
Has anyone heard of
this company, MedEDocs, or Bob's PCWerks? 
From what I have heard, they have sm
several new accounts starting soon. They are growing and that is reason behind the ads.  I work there, love it and have no problems.  I don't plan on leaving. 
Last I heard sm
It was Tues - Sat or Sun - Thurs schedules and 8 1/2 cents per line if you worked the 3rd shift. They wanted 40 hours per week full time, insurance kicked in after 90 days, and direct deposit. They send you a PC, I believe.
I heard
I have not had personal experience with them, but had a friend who worked for them in QA. She had to leave and find another job because not only was work very famine like, but what came in was real garbage from India. I hope this helps some.
i heard from them...
a few months ago after passing a test. the person i spoke with (forgot her name) was very nice and offered me a starting pay of 8 cpl. i dont remember much, but i decided not to take the job and emailed her to let her know i had accepted a position with a local company. it was nice that she made the time to respond back and wished me well. i remember some negative posts after that about a lot of ESL accounts. sorry, thats all i remember.
I heard sm
that it's different for different accounts, either 8 cpl 65 char or $1.10 a report, but don't know that for a fact.
Consider yourself heard!! You can do this....
nose to the grindstone... take a deep breath... loved your ending!
has anyone ever heard of
a company named Medical Transcription Plus, Inc., out of Georgia? Any info is greatly appreciated. TIA.
Anyone ever heard of JLG?
If so, what are your thoughts on the company?
ANYONE HEARD OF TNI?

There is an ad in the local paper for them, just wondering.  Thanks.


Anyone heard of SPi and if so

it is a good company to work with? TIA.


WE WANT TO BE HEARD!!!
We work ourselves for hours on end, get cheated for lines but get yelled at to do more more more. There are sometimes better ways but the head honchos want to make all the decisions.

In other fields companies allow their employees to provide input, suggestions, have round table discussions, powwows, whatever but in this field we get the orders from the power hungry managers who in many cases don't have nearly the experience or training that the MT's have. That is disheartening too.

We are not allowed a voice, we are not treated like people, only a number. Do this do this, type type type but don't ask for anything, do as you're told and don't ask questions. We know what's best because we have a title by our names. That is total bull malarky.

So what we want is to be heard. That is why you see negative comments here. The majority of the MTSO's don't care about our ideas. In fact they don't even share other MT's names or schedules or emails sometimes for fear that they will try to have a life away from the MTSO. What is wrong with having telephone discussions or get togethers somehow without being yelled at or something that does not even pertain to you or listen to some managers sound like idiots?

A voice. Thank you MT Stars for the voice, now if only the MTSO's would give us a voice without fear of giving up a little bit of power. It is a honkin joke anymore and yes we are totally fed up.
We just want to be heard
You are so right! Agreed! Very, very few MTSO's appreciated a good MT when they have one. One company I worked for never paid -- did this to many -- another sent me NSF checks. I am working two jobs now. One I love and one I hate because of certain QA people who all tell you to type things a different way. This is all confusing to the MT. It's not worth the headache for the small amount of money and no benefits. I love what I do, but I hate what is happening to this field. Something needs to change.
anyone heard...
of Medline, Inc.?
Just heard about it myself, and sm
I've googled on it. There's nothing out there yet, but there probably will be soon. I'm keeping an eye out--well, a Google eye, that is, LOL!
