Use the Google box search for MTStars at page top. A few posts from 4/2007 come up.

At the top of the company board page, do a google search for MTStars.
Start reading. This is an Indian based company. There were recent posts over the past few days about this company.

That is a Google ad, it is not an MTStars banner. Take a closer look.

They used to pay a low per-page rate & the subsequent partial pages

Wow! This means 19 pages in 1 hour! One page has 40 lines.
This I will n e v e r , e v e r believe, only if I see it with my very own 2 blue eyes!

LOL !


10 pages, bull, they want it for free, give them one page or find another job.

Yeah, I agree with the other posters. Ten pages is overkill. I think even with one page that would
get a feel for your skills and experience. No one can hide inexperience or inability to do the work.  There is NO WAY I'd ever do a 10-page report without being paid. They are ridiculous. I'd be curious to see if anyone actually falls for this tactic. I saw that they give their ICs 5 days turnaround time so I'd say if they had several MTs testing, they should easily make their quota for their clients. UNREAL!!!
Yep. Go to the home page for MTStars
and click on TOS/Disclaimer (it's on the left toward the bottom of the screen).

HELPFUL SEARCH TIP: in Google window type exactly: "MD-IT" site:www.mtstars.com...
someone i know is a super hacker for websites and knows how to search for info. it will pull up all statements that have ever been posted about MD-IT but you must type it just as i have posted.
Look at the Sponsors link from the Home page of MTStars and you will

icon tray, icon tray, don't remember that lol
I guess it's too late now, being that was one of the reasons why I left also, but if I ever get another job that deals with Bayscribe, I will do that. Thanks for the heads up! :)
It has nothing to do with MTStars or the owner of MTStars. It
has to do with the fact that the person who posted gave enough information that the company recognized who it was.  We, at MTStars, do not give anyone information about who posts what.
Hysterical icon
Love the icon, (except that Native Americans are generally *not* cut throat...)

That aside, anytime a mega-MTSO gets caught up in the minutia of resume details, or if you know what XXX stands for, then they and I are likely *not* going to be a fit.

I CAN TRANSCRIBE, accrately (joke) ACCURATELY. I RARELY GET SICK. I care about the work. I will give you 110% effort in return for honesty and fairness. What more do you need to know? Stop communicating via cyberspace and *talk* to me. oy vey.
OMG - that icon is hysterical
And so appropos! NEVER take a job where your earnings are tied to their receiving payment!


Pam I YAM: I like your icon with yams. Just had to say.
nm
das a funny icon !! lol

In Wordscript, go up to the top and click on the icon that looks like
a hand writing on a piece of paper and then select the date or range of dates you want to see.  Finally, click on line count. Hope this helps.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

If I had an icon I'd insert a wide grin here!
Ditto that! :)

I wish there was an icon that shows cartwheels and pom-poms!! I agree. Why
do not MTs think this is a hobby?
What browser ar eyou running? It could be that some other icon is appearing if you're
using any browser other than IE.
there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX.   I wouldn't call them a small national.  
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

Will we be able to see all the pages?
Cannot go to the 2nd page now.
well done! this could go 10 pages, lol.

they only had 100 pages to type!

I already have a job.  If I were trying to nab a full time job, I would have been more careful, but the woman told me she needed someone to help out ASAP, like this afternoon.... so I squeezed in the typing test during my regular work.  She needs help with 100 reports and then bye bye, so I really didn't think spongebob would make a difference to her.


 


Look on pages 9, 10, 11 of the archives,
there's more info there too. 
Yep saw that. They think 10-15 pages an hour.?? sm
This is to coincide with their proposed hourly pay. They get their calculators out and think HEY this sounds good.

They have absolutely no IDEA how long a page takes and what expertise is involved. $1.10 a page. They equate women with typing and this shows value (under-valued, second class, purchased commodity.
Look through the yellow pages of your local

phone book and call agents that offer health insurance.  Make several calls.  I did this when we needed private insurance and each call I made I got a lower premium, although every company had the very same insurance.  Celtic is what we found to be the lowest.  We no longer have this insurance as we have insurance through DH job, but we had no existing conditions, no regular meds, nonsmokers, so I'm not sure if these were covered.   I'd keep calling about COBRA.  The company has to offer it.   If you go 45 days without insurance and have a pre-existing condition you are in trouble, unless things have changed since we got insurance.  There is a temporary insurance through Fortis that is very cheap, but the deductible is very high and it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.


I'd stay away from the association for the self-employed or whatever it is called.  When I called them their rates were double what I could get a private policy for and it was the same insurance.  


 


Go thru the last 4 pages here. They have been discussed recently. nm

Any way you can search recent pages w/o having to go to each one

Scroll down a couple pages (sm)
There are a few posts about them, nothing good that I saw.  I do remember complaints about not enough work and the owner needing to sharpen up on his communication and people skills.
What? There are a ton of TT MTs posting here. Scroll through the last few pages.
I would estimate that 95% of what you see posted here about TT is positive.
I agree 10 pages to long sm

A while back I applied with a co who sent me a 45 min test file.  I did 20 minutes of the file and sent it back.  I explained that I felt 45 minutes was excessive.  They asked me to work for them.  So you never know. 


That being said, I saw WPU's ad  and $1.25 per page is low.  If you haven't done it before, you'll make less than $10 an hour to start.  If you're decent and can do 10 pages in an hour, you'll make 12.50 an hour.  If you're really good and can do 20 pages in an hour, then you're still only making $25 an hour - for being really good - and that's low in my book.  IMO
