Thanks for your response! I have also read Beyondtxt is not as great as they make it seem.

Lack of communication, really dislike BeyondTxt and need to make more money. sm
I am just not making my bills, and I was before, so it is time to move on.
PLEASE READ my response below

to the poster who asks about PsychTrans testing.  I hope everyone will get the message that I have a very strong work ethic, but this woman is not worth working for.  Really, truly -- it is not better than no job at all.  NO JOB AT ALL IS BETTER THAN WORKING FOR DEBBIE/PSYCHTRANS!!!!!!!  Trust me on this one.  It's not just another one of those everybody's experience is different, one man's trash is another man's treasure experiences, the woman is trash.

E-mail response, please read
I apologize I have not gotten back to any of you.  I never received the e-mails and I do not know why.  Anyway, I was able to repost the job information on the Job Seekers board with the permission of my employer.  So, if you want the information it is under Protype, Inc.  On Job Seekers Board.  Again, I apologize for not getting back to anyone.  RH
you obviously didn't read my entire response
or can't understand me.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
That's great - glad to hear you got response
I'm glad you posted a followup as I was wondering how it was going for you.
LOL. That's pretty funny and a great response! Thanks for the laugh!

Is the MDI-FL BeyondTxt as bad as the Transcend BeyondTxt?

A great 'read'

The Initiative site has a LINKS page; do yourselves a favor - go to the usmlsu dot org site, click on LINKS and read about your rights, the Social Security backpay a lot of you have coming because you never were truly ICs, and what the IRS has to say.


 


 


You need to make sure you read these

posts.  There are many who are not disgruntled employees.  We are trying very hard to keep people like you from being taken like we were.  I guess you just need to learn the hard way.


Also, if you don't like what is said, then just don't read it or reply to it.  I only replied because I wanted to clear the air about why people post negatively about a company.  Each of us has our own experiences, but if you see many with the same complaints, then you had better take them seriously. 


 


I got this email and not sure what to make of it....please read

Would anyone who gets an email like this go for this job?  Has anyone else gotten anything like this recently?  Is it a bit unusual?  Opinions please.  Here is a copy of the body of the email letter.

Read on several boards that Axolotl can be great
but that there are some killer accounts, while others are great, and same with QA, some fair and some brutal.  I know I'd get stuck with both the killer account and killer QA.   Not a good combo for happiness or making money, just to me.
Thank you. That is a great, factual article. I hope the others read it.

I had a typo. That should read..I do NOT make half the rate, etc.

Read that post below on hospitals? They're definitely good for great bennies! nm

Great post and very true! I read these today and was amazed that someone's first thought was pay
I agree that circumstances can make loans necessary but the OP sounded more like she uses these on a regular basis. No I'll have to learn to budget for the difference, just oh no, now I need to go to Payday Loans and pay 400% interest.

We have the potential to earn what we need to, although sometimes lately it is harder and harder.

Good for all of you. Wish I had seen these earlier.

p.s. Can someone call and tell my BIL to grow up too?
I make great money there
I do not do radiology, but ER and basic 4, and I make 10 cpl, have tons of work, and make a great living there. That is just my own experience. Others may have had different experiences there.
Temping is a great way to make contacts,
learn new specialties, and even pick up a permanent job (which happened to me three times). If you have your own clients, temping is also good for extra money if your docs get slow. Best of all, if it doesn't work out, you just walk away. Good luck!
Great tip! Change, delete, or add as you go to make

Thanks -- that does help! That is great ... some make you wait 90 days. nm

I work at DDS and love it. Make great money!

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.


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!!!!


Make great money with EditScript - it will learn the formatting

BeyondTxt
I don't work for Transcribe but I do work for MDI-FL on the BeyondTxt platform. I love it. Just like working in word with all the bells and whistles. Most of the Transcend work is or will be going to VR and I don't like editing so I am staying with MDI who assures us they will not be going to VR anytime soon. Hope this helps.
I am on BeyondTXT and it is okay...
I do love the company. They are very helpful and everyone has been really nice. Each person is different though, and I have seen good and bad about most companies on here. I have been with Transcend about two years and my experience has been a good one.
MDI-FL/BeyondTXT
BeyondTXT is not as productive as we were promised.  My line counts have decreased and, of course, so has my income.  It's not making me as happy as I was before the new software was instituted.  Hope that helps to answer your question.
BeyondTXT

I am QA at Transcend, but on the ExText platform.  I thought that nothing could beat ExText, but I was trained on the BT platform last week so that I can help out when my own work is low.  BT was amazing--I was really impressed with the resources it provided to MTs.  If I ever went back to full-time MT, I would definitely ask to transfer to that side of the company. 


Sorry that I can't really provide a comparison of eScription, but I just wanted to chime in as someone who was completely loyal to a different platform.  I've worked with other platforms developed by companies and have never been very impressed--usually they are cumbersome and aren't really user-friendly or productive for the MT.  However, I think that BeyondTxt is all of that.  :)


Good luck, whichever you choose! 


I actually liked BeyondTXT....
I worked there about a year ago. I quit b/c they got really strict with their schedules and thats not I signed up for. However, right when I quit I met someone who just started working for them, on a different account from mine and with a different supervisor, and she said that the schedules weren't strict at all for her.

All in all, I had a good experience with Transcend and I would go back if a strict, tight schedule was okay for me.
Beyondtxt
I work soley on radiology but do use beyondtxt to get voice. I LOVE IT! You see all the work available unlike the Lanier and DVI box. You don't have to use your home phone line. Everything is over the internet.

Sorry, I can't give you any other information on the typing platform with beyondtxt. I have seen it and it does look like a pretty nice platform to work on.
And out of 3 different VR platforms, their BeyondTxt
Bad sound quality, way too many problems.
MDI-FL BeyondTxt is the same thing as

Any info on BeyondTXT
Considering working for service that uses BeyondTXT.  Any +/- info on its merits, ease of use, etc?   Can MT work directly in own MSWord retaining use of expanders and such?  Thanks for any feedback.
Best expander for BeyondTXT
 I know this comes with ShortCuts which seems okay but has anyone found another you think is a better fit? TIA.
I work on Aim and BeyondTxt and have so much to

do that I could stay busy 24/7 if my bod would hold up.  I appreciate a slow down occasionally, but not happening this week.


My advice to you --  learn the various platforms and be willing to switch accounts, etc.  You will never run out of work. 


 


Help I need answers on BeyondTXT
Can someone please tell me if you can get decent lines using the VR portion of BeyondTXT.  I am being offered 4.5 cents.  I have never done VR before.  How does it compare to say 300 lph of straight typing?  I just want to make sure I am making similar income to what I have always made.  I got the hospital calling me soon and I am so confused!!!
Extext and Beyondtxt are not the same
Most of Transcend work is on BeyondTxt and it has its problems.
Why not give BeyondTXT a try
I've been on it and it's not that bad once you get the hang of it.  I believe most of the work is on BT and I'm usually swamped with work. Why bash something based on what a few unhappy people have posted?
They downloaded BeyondTxt
for me to use, and it was not compatible with MS word. 
Transcend/BeyondTXT? sm
I have read in the archives where they were saying this platform was not user friendly and they had a hard time making money.  Have things changed concerning the BeyondTXT program?  Does anybody have anything good to say about it now?  Thanks for the info.
Beyondtxt info?...sm
I'm about to try the Beyondtxt platform, can anyone give some good info about it currently besides the one above? I've been working on editscript and I hate it, hoping Beyondtxt will be much better. I'd appreciate any feedback anyone can provide:)
Nervous about BeyondTXT
We are getting ready to go to BeyondTXT and I am really concerned about what I have seen with the program not showing cc's, doctor signatures, patient names.  It tells me that clicking and researching this stuff we will not be paid for any of it.  Also, I am thinking when it goes to VR there will be too much editing since I do not think the program will know the difference between here and hear, and their and there, etc.  It also looks like we will be fixing where the headings and info goes, not to mention all the clicking here, there and everywhere.  Since it is not in word I will have to start the word Expanders again I suppose.  I hope I am wrong since I have not started using it yet, but am very nervous.  I hear you when you say you are worried about losing your benefits as I am in the same boat.
Is there anyone out there that can say they just LOVE BeyondTXT? nm
Thanks for any opinions out there!
I am sorry to hear you will be using BeyondTXT. sm
One of the things I hate about it is you have to do a spell check after each report; no red line to clue you in to words that are not spelled right.  There are just too many things to slow you down about this program in my opinion.
Anyone working on BeyondTXT with MDI-FL? Would like to hear from you
How do you like your accounts, are you running out of work or is there plenty.  Do you like the BeyondTXT as a transcription platform, etc.
Anyone else find BeyondTxt awful to
use?  I have used other programs that are simple to use but this one is the worst nightmare I have ever seen.  How do you make any money working on it?   Also, the training and the support is almost nonexistant. 
BeyondTxt versus eScription
Has anyone worked on both of these platforms who could give me some feedback on how they compare. Is one better than the other for sound quality? Is all of the patient information pretty much there for you? Do you find it easier to get lines with one over the other and why? Any info/opinions will be appreciated.
