They were actually one of the companies I was looking at until I read the archives..it seems
they haven't changed at all with the negative responses this time around.  Thanks for the warnings! 
There is a bit info on them in the archives.

There is a ton of info in the archives
use the 'google' search box...not the other one. Here is the link (copy and paste into your address bar):

There's info in the archives
When I was hired, they said they paid for spaces. First check comes and was about $300 short. When I called them, they said they never said they paid for spaces. That was a lie.

When the payroll person went on vacation for 2 weeks, we had to wait until she came back to get paid.

I've also read on the boards from other MTs that the husband can be very unprofessional when faced with having to deal with any issues their MTs may have with their company, going as far as calling names and throwing insults.

Just giving you info. It's up to you, of course, whether you want to risk trying them out or not.
Tons of info about them in the archives.
They ran an ad a few weeks ago and supposedly got 500 resumes.  It seems they are constantly hiring, don't know if new accounts or turnover.   Some people seem very loyal and love it, lots of others have had problems. 
Any info on D&L? Can't find them in the archives. TIA. nm

Lots of info in the archives. nm
 
Lots of info in the archives. nm
 
All Type, Inc. any info? archives of NO help
TIA!
I am looking for any info on MD IT. I have searched the archives and
nothing comes up at all. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
Any info about p.r.n. Transcription? Nothing in the archives. Thanks. :) nm

Lots of info on all in the archives.
SS is a horrible company.  They are constantly hiring and new accounts isn't the reason.  I don't think Keystrokes hires for PT. 
I like them. Do a search of archives...plenty of info.
.
Search the archives, lots of info on them.
 
search archives for more detailed info (sm)
I've had a great experience with WebMedX - lots of work, great pay, cool people, nothing to complain about at all.

Go to the bottom of this page and search the archives, hit Control-F for Find and type in WebMedX and you'll find a lot more information and opinions.
Read the archives, lots of info there.
 
If you check archives there is info there on SmartMed, don't know about
other company.  I tested for SmartMed (they went by a different name though) and was offered an MT position, which I turned down.  They called about a month later to offer me a QA position because they had started offshoring work.  Not much nice to say about them from recent posts. 
all OSI info is old in archives. Anything recent good/bad?

mostly -- are the lines an absolute bear to get; i.e., will I have to work 12 hours a day to get 1000 lines?  Or do they seem fairly fair won?


 


Thanks


Any info on AllType? Search archives, but no
I see they have several ads posted, but I've not seen any info pro or con on them. 
Lots of info in the archives. Seems to be a mass
exodus going on. 
Current info about Axolotl in archives, never
heard of the other company.  Axolotl is not currently hiring, has no work on multiple accounts, though they do pay for downtime.  Fixing to start transition to natural speech, most would call it VR.  Pay is better than most currently, good benefits, great company.  Work has been low for 3-4 months, but is worse lately.  They provide all software/hardware, good tech support 24/7. 
Check archives, plenty of info.

Do they only hire employees, or IC's also:  What platform do they use:  Are they a good company to work for?


Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.


RE: could not find anything in archives regarding "All Type". Anyone have info on.....
From their web site: At ALL TYPE, our goal is to recruit and retain the very best medical transcriptionists. We would like you to consider joining us. If you qualify, you would be a welcome part of our team of highly trained Medical Transcriptionists (MTs). ALL TYPE transcriptionists enjoy the flexibility of being in an at-home environment as full-time employees or if you prefer, as independent contractors. Our staff retention rate is high for good reason.Our MTs say they have never worked in a happier group or for a company that attended to their issues in such a responsive way. As a matter of fact, many of our new MTs are referrals from our existing MT staff. See what our people say....(click here)

We pay our MTs highly competitive rates.
You have the opportunity for career advancement.
You'll use cutting-edge technology.

OSI. No luck finding recent info in archives.

Answer to any or all of the 9 following questions would be much appreciated:

2.  Benefits.  Which health insurance carrier?  PPO?  HMO? 


3.  What is the deductible amount (employee coverage, no family). 


4.  Accounts:  High ESL?  Enough work?  Back up accounts?   


5.  QA:  Too much?  Too little?  Constructive or too critical? 


6.  Email communication timely? 


7.  Is hiring process drawn out?


8.  Equipment arrive in timely fashion?


9.  Pay on time?

Anyone know any info on Silent Type out of New York? I don't know how to find in archives. Thnx

Would like to have any info on MWPS out of Sterling Heights, Michigan. Searched the archives (sm)

and found nothing about the company.  Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance. 


Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
 
Searched archives and cannot find info on MedScript Services, Inc. and Inscribe software...sm
They are also on the web as MedScript Services, Inc. I think that they're based in Naples, Florida. I also believe that they use a platform called INSCRIBE. Any comments on the software or company?
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information.  This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.  
I appreciate info on different companies...

There HAS to be SOMETHING to what they say about these companies.  If not, then why so many unhappy MTs?  Like another poster stated, deleting the posts from this forum does not delete it from our memories, and someone will be back on here complaining about the same or new things as long as they are not being heard by the company.  If it bothers ____'s management team so much, then maybe they should listen to their MTs and treat them with the respect that they deserve.  These MTSOs wouldn't be anywhere without its MTs, so why not try and make them happy.  I am so glad we have a forum like this to share our good/bad experiences.  You know the MTSOs can't stand it because they cannot take complete advantage of us, which is what most of the companies I have worked for tried to do to their MTs---as long as they are making their money off the sweat of our backs.  It seems like KS can dish out the misery but can't take it when people start talking about it...just my opinion.  Keep talking and sharing experiences, good and bad.  Maybe this forum and others will force them to do right by us, especially regarding compensation.  We have to work together and try to make the MT profession better. 


KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO NO MATTER WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT!!!

Info on MT companies
I will be getting laid off in the very near future after 17 years as an in-house MT. We transcribed from tapes and so I do not have any experience working at home, using a wav pedal or software MT companies use. Are there any good companies willing to train in these areas? Can anyone give me information about Deventure, Precyse or MD-IT good or bad?
Need info on these companies please!

I have been offered jobs from these companies and I would really appreciate any input from those who work for them now, or have previously.  I am scared to death of not making the right choice here, and it is very important to me as I am a single person with no one to fall back on for income, I am what I am! 


The companies are:  Axolotl, Keystrokes, Diskriter and Focus.  Thank you SO much for any direction you can give me! :)


Any info on these companies?
Regarding pay, acute or clinic, bennies, flexibility, anything else you care to add. ExecuScribe, p.r.n. Transcription, Probity.

TIA!

Thank you!
