Nope.. never heard a word, which is fine by me. I'm never impressed when they never even contact

In Reply to: No response?? - Puzzled

you hear how rude and unprofessional they are. Normally, I would not give any credibility to hear-say but all of this has to make me wonder. No skin off my nose. I tested with other companies and got called back within 24 hours.. Now, that is how a company should handle 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.
nope, not me, NOPE Worked to hard and long to sm
know what I know, my expertise is worth more and constant updating . Keep looking on the job boards. Email and ask if VR, pay for space and lowest to highest line rate for the POSITION (generic question) not I have 20 years exp. etc
Was not impressed
I was offered a position with them but turned it down. I had 3 different people contact me from them.  I had at first accepted the position and they told me the packet was mailed out that I would need before starting.  I never did receive the packet and it all seemed very disorganized.  I felt like if they couldn't even get the packet to me, what would happen with my check?
I was not impressed
The recruiter was strange. She didn't appear to know how to hold a phone interview. There were a lot of blank pauses in our conversation. Even though I have 20+ years of experience, she decided not to hire me because I made the mistake of telling her I was keeping a small part-time on the side transcription job I have had for 14 years. Also, the pay was not great. I would not recommend them.
Wow I'm impressed!
5.5 is really good for VR. Most companies only want to pay 3-4, although TT pays 4.5. Who do you work for? Just curious.
I am so impressed with your skills
not- you sound like you are the only 1 who does well on VR, making you faster and better than most so you say. Did you break your arm patting yourself on your back?
I am very impressed with the job posting for the
non-medical Transcriptionist on the job seeker's board.  While the pay is very low, at least this person is up front in what they are looking for, seems to be honest and even offers to go that extra mile by allowing you to chat with one of their other ICs.  Wish other MTSOs were this *transparent.*
I am so impressed. What a refreshing change. Thank you!

You're welcome. I'm truly impressed with this company sm

and I think you'd be very happy should you decide to take a position with them.  It has been a long time since I have encountered such caring people as an employer.


And thanks for the compliment on my baby.  Maltese doggies are cute too.  (And no, this isn't the right board for such things but what the heck.)


Good luck! 


I've mentioned before that I was impressed
I made it partially through training and my Mom passed away; so I had to postpone.  Once I went back a few weeks later, unfortunately, the schedule was not the same, but I do not hold that against Transcend.  The recruiter was very understanding and they wanted to give me another chance, but it was due to the workflow.  I would HIGHLY recommend Transcend.  They are the only ones I have dealt with as far as nationals go that were very communicative and very, very understanding.  There will always be bumps, but if you have the big tires the bumps don't hurt as much!  HAHA!  Anyway, nice people, nice place!
I am blown away and impressed at the responses from the MDI MTs. sm
I don't think Transcend was expecting all this anger.  The company I was working for also was bought by Transcend and with the last two company purchases we basically believed the lies and comforting words and just went along.  I have seen several managers leave after telling me it would get better.  I am sure they are wondering what all this is since they did not get this kind of flack before you all.  WAY TO GO!!  I am so sorry you have to go through this though.
Wow! I'm impressed. You NEVER have to use reference material? Amazing!

Was going to work for them, but was NOT impressed with their lack of professionalism!!

WHy should I care if you are impressed or not. It it suits me, I don't give a darn if anyone

Yeah, I talked to them about a month ago and wasn't too impressed. sm
They told me pretty much the same thing, 2nd and 3rd shifts only.  I said no thanks.  Didn't sound like the kind of company I wanted to work for.  They sounded an awful lot like MQ which sent chills down my spine.
If your impressed by bad communication and erractic work flow then it's the place for you..
I know a lot of people who have been there longer than a few weeks that have a lot better insight on MDI-FL and it's not a great review.  Yes, the people are nice but is about it.. Nice unfortunately does not pay the bills or stop you from being frustrated because no one answers your emails, well I should say, in a timely manner, and if it is a money-related question like raises etc.. FORGET IT.. you will NOT be getting an email back on that one but you do get one telling you that you need to train on another system, which requires a C-phone, and one in which you had no desire to be placed on, or you lose your benefits. When people sign up to do accounts that are internet-based, it is for a reason. C-phones are a pain in the you-know-what..and then you find out that the account you were hired for is dried up most days, then you are told that you need to do another account that requires the C-phone or you will lose benefits. Thanks but no thanks..getting old.. but truly best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm

Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm

The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based. 
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
word for word company
does anyone know about word for word transcription company?  how are they to work for, platform?  thanks in advance!
I was told I could use word pad since I don't have word

I have 1 computer to speak of that I did not buy personally.  the company has their own platform and their own computer to be rented.  I would not be typing in word.  I have never had a problem testing this way before.  I am not saying certified is better.  I was explaining my circumstance.  I have my own personal computer ordered for my use and I wanted to test fast without waiting. geez.


I've only heard of Intellitype. Never heard of Teletype.

i have it and like it just fine
the preventative maintence is paid in full. I don't remember any long waiting periods. I do think you have to have the insurance a year before you can use it for braces tho, which i also did, and i think the max payout was $1000/yr on the braces (not absolutely sure i remember correctly). it has served me well and the monthly rate was fair.
Fine
So that's what was rude.  Okay.  But did you read my second post?  I DID say work was slow.  I DO know it.  How many ways can I say it?????  But, I am still able to get my line counts in.  So are many, many other MTs at Transcend?  I see many MTs asking questions for word  help/account specific questions, as they are typing.  They are typing.  Why are they?  Why are many of us able to get our lines in?  Why can't you?  Ask for another account.  They said in the email sent out yesterday that if you want or need another account to email them, training will begin today?  Why aren't you training on a new account?  I have been with Transcend for awhile and have had no problems getting my line count in at all.  That is what I am saying.  I am not going to get on here and say anything else, as that would not be the truth from my side of it.  I am not saying that you aren't having a hard time pulling work.  All I am saying is that it is still possible even though slow, as I am doing it and so are others. 
I think $13.50 is just fine, especially when....sm

I don't have to buy "work" clothes per se, don't have to drive into the office to work, and can be home when my kids get off the bus, thereby saving money for after-school babysitting.   I live just fine on my salary and it's not for you to knock what I make or how I live...and yes, we go to the movies AND buy popcorn/sodas there! 


I have friends who make $20-25 an hour in their jobs and they drive in to work (we live in the suburbs of a major city), have to wear business clothes, and pay for daycare.   Not only do they spend 2 hours a day in the car commuting to/from work but with the costs of them workintg they actually end up making less money than I do - it's all how you look at it and do the math.   I on the other hand buy a tank of gas and it lasts usually 3 weeks, sometimes 4 and yet we're not deprived. 


That's quite fine...sm
Not my loss
VPN is fine as well.
