He may have sold out to Nuance in March of 2007, but he still runs the show!  Second of all they are absolutely NOT bringing any accounts whatsoever back to the U.S.  That's just plain fabrication, deceit, lies, BS -- whatever you prefer to call it.  It just ain't true!  They just recently laid off the majority of the American QA staff and have forced the skeleton American crew they have left to go to production.

The lie that they are bringing work back to the U.S. was started and perpetuated in January of this year as a negotiating tactic to get the Indians to continue to work for peanuts instead of giving them more money.  When the Indians called their bluff, they hired a bunch of American QA people only to fire them at the end of April, beginning of May when the Indians caved.

And finally, they are an Indian run company and their QA and MT staff is 80% Indian.  I have the actual figures given to me by the Director of US Operations at Focus.  Focus employs 3800 Indians!  Does that sound like a U.S. company to you?

Oh, and the Director of Recruitment posted that 90% of their operation is in the U.S.!!!!!  He flat out lies.  He also says everyone laid off got a nice severance package.  Total BS!  Half of those laid off had to call the company and scream bloody murder when their checks were deposited as promised.  The other half will be calling tomorrow!

starting out right out of the gate producing around 2200-2500 lines in 6 hours, best I have EVER done since leaving my local clinic and going with a huge company.  However, it seems that once the honeymoon was over, things started to change and now, on the same dictators, I barely get 1600 lines in a day.  It is a Word-based program and in the beginning I had no problems with the programs opening or typing in them and now they seem to freeze all of the time which, of course, slows my production tremendously.  I cannot figure out if it is my computer or something that they have in the program to keep you from doing over a certain amount in a day, which I am not sure why they would. 

can be so great, but they truly are.  I have been doing medical transcription for over 30 years now, and they are some of the most caring people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.  True, the line rate is not astronomical -- I have definitely made more -- but the benefit package is great, and it is relatively easy to achieve the upper tiers of the incentive.  And the bonuses they offer are really nice.

In these days of companies lying to employees, treating them badly, etc., they do indeed sound too good to be true, but so far my experience has only been a positive one.   However, I have only been there for 2 months now, so I suppose I am still in the honeymoon phase, but I would not hesitate to recmomend them to anyone.

Good luck to you.  Hope you find a company that makes you as happy as I am with TransTech.

There is a lot of negatives in the archives, moving to another state doesn't change that.

a month ago and can't afford the $125 to quit.

Do they still charge you $125 to ship back the computer if you're there for more than 45 days?

but have you tried cut and pasting document into a Word document just to get a rough idea?  Or is that what you did already?
