You're probalby talking about Cardioscribes, right?
Posted By: They are 100% Indian. Why they bother on 2009-05-24
In Reply to: If the transcribed files go to India, are sent out from India to be transcribed, sm - Seems odd to me
attempting to cover that is beyond me. Everyone you deal with regarding the work flow is from India. Try to call the owner and you're hooked into a call center.

I don't know what you're talking about
I think you're talking about
the company I just left, so here's my experience: Last August, we went from a very good program where I could do 250 to 300 lph WITHOUT Expanders to the DQS program WITH EXPANDERS, it's now ten months later, and I'm very, very fortunate to do 150 to 200 lph. I have 29 years of experience and am pretty quick...this is the number one reason I left...if you're going to DQS, expect to lose about 25% of your line count. I never could figure it out and never could get my PS interested enough to return my emails about it. Hope this helps.
Are you sure we're talking about the same
company? I wasn't aware of a rental fee, I know I don't pay one. I'm not sure where the job hopping came from....and I agree that you have the right to judge a company by what you read about it, but when you are reading good things why create a negative?
I know EXACTLY who you're talking about
hmmm?
I Believe I Know What Co. You're Talking About
If I'm right, it doesn't get better. Ever.
Good luck!
You don't know what you're talking about
I never said I was leaving because of VR. I simply asked if anyone gave 2 weeks notice. I happen to have a job lined up with a hospital (no more MTSOs) earing in a week what I make at TT in a month. I would have left TT anyway for this job.
Well, as you said, that's as an IC. I think we're talking about employees. nm

I think you're talking about Transhealth. NM
nm
Sounds like you're talking about
TranScam. That's not their real name, just their earned nickname.
It used to be hospitals would train people, but it's very expensive and time-consuming. I think your friend could find that only if she lived in India.
6 cpl - I hope you're talking about
editing, here. You have 4 years' acute care experience and should be making at least 8 cpl. IC should pay more since they don't have to pay benefits. Check the job board out. I'm sure you'll find something.
You have no idea what you're talking about. sm
Most MTSO's do not make a fortune. They barely make the money that they would be paid hourly if you put all the hours together that they do. I was sick of working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. I made good money on paper, about $150,000 a year, but that was working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That is about $23.00 an hour. I make more per hour as an MT and have evenings off, can play with my daughters, can eat hot meals without interruption. I work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day now and love it.
I could've afforded a yacht and a summer home and a lot of other things but I sure wouldn't have had time to use them or enjoy them. I spent too much time chasing MT's who did not do their jobs, had every excuse in the world as to why they did not meet their required lines, and making customers happy. No thank you. MTSO's can keep their wonderful lives. Mine is much better now.
Okay, then we're talking about a DIFFERENT 'CB'
I am CrankyBeach, sometimes (often) referred to as 'CB' on this board, by others (not by myself).
While I am certainly a cranky beach, I am nobody's supervisor, have not been anybody's supervisor EVER in the MT world, and I really don't even want a promotion... I've been there, done that (I was head of a billing department for many years), and I actually prefer being a minion. I've been at Transcend since April 1, 2009, when TRS was bought out. The only national companies I have ever worked for have been TRS and Transcend, which more or less amounts to the same thing.
So anybody named 'CB' who might have gotten a promotion in the latest merger is NOT me. Just trying to clarify the record....
Yes, you left out the fact that you don't know what you're talking about. sm
Keystrokes pays unemployment in every state that we have employees in (38 at this point).
Supply reference books? Supply fax machine? Yes. If someone cannot get something that will help them, the owner of Keystrokes always helps out.
My husband is a tradesman. He is an employee and is union. He has had to pay for his own tools, his own vehicle to and from work, his own clothes that are destroyed constantly, his own gas. Why should transcription be any different?
I have worked for Keystrokes for 5 years. I transcribe when needed, as many as 15,000 lines per pay period. I have had slow periods like everyone else.
Yes, I get paid a salary I earn in. If you want to be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, filling in when transcriptionists call in or don't start their shift on time, giving up hot meals and nights out because a Transcriptionist cannot work their shift, then become management.
I have heard every excuse in the book. I have proofed work from experienced transcriptionists that look like a novice transcribed it. I have worked schedules around everyone's personal lives.
Think management is all fun and games? Think again. I make a good dollar because I earn it.
Wonder if who I'm thinking of is who you're talking about? That would explain a LOT. sm
This person gets away with so much, I don't know she's kept her job this long. Getting a timely response from her on even the smallest issue is impossible, and she always has an excuse for why she couldn't __________. And, she seems to lose her internet connection more than anybody I know, and it's always conveniently for a 3-day weekend. Or she'll take 9 days off to go to a 4-day convention. Or she'll take a long weekend and then conveniently be sick on her return day. I've never seen so many excuses. She gets away with it, though. It's not like she's even a good manager on the days she is around; she doesn't know anything about site profiles or have any client contacts. About all she does is forward emails from other managers who have taken the time to actually do their jobs.
Does any of this sound like your triple dipper?
Depends on if you're talking about US employees only or
Still at about 12K total including ICs and ILPs.
I hope I don't get that account you're talking about either.
I am a little scared now.
You're right. You have no idea what I'm talking about. Typical. nm

The latest large incentive they're talking about is...sm
for the BeyondTXT editing program and details were given to everyone working on that platform. Other incentives are for various accounts at various times and details are provided by the ROM for those accounts as those incentives are put into place. The holiday incentive is for everyone, MDI as well as Transcend employees. This is for 3 cpl for all lines transcribed on the 6 national holidays as long as you meet the criteria outlined in the policy. If you do not have a copy of this and would like to receive it, e-mail me and I'll be happy to send it to you.
Just hold on a second! You're the one who is on here acting superior and talking about weeding o
"bad" transcriptionists. Can't help but wonder how good you are when you can't even form a complete sentence.
I love it when people get on here and criticize others' abilities and talk about bad Transcriptionist when their own posts are so sloppy. I love the excuse, "I'm not working now." I try to be literate whether I'm working or not. I don't have to put on my "literacy hat" when I go to work. I wear it all the time, and although I certainly understand typos and make my fair share of them, I don't understand how or why someone chooses not to be literate simply because they're not working but suddenly transforms into a competent, literate person when they are working. I just don't get it. I guess for some, literacy truly is WORK.
Like I said, everyone makes mistakes. But the next time you sit up there on your pedestal, criticize others and talk about weeding out "bad" transcriptionists, you might want to proofread your own stuff so it doesn't come back to bite you in the butt.
Computter computer? Now what are you talking about? Honestly, you're like a nosy neighbor
budding into halfway thru a conversation! What are you talking about getting fired on a computer? You are lame, girl!! We WERE having an adult conversation here. BusyMTing and I are understanding each other just fine! Go back outside and play with your friends!
Cardioscribes
Anyone heard back from Cardioscribes, anyone start work with them, any infor at all. Thank you.
Cardioscribes
They are hiring a lot of people but seem to be handling it well and there seems to be enough work. Communication is good and nice people to work for! 
Cardioscribes
I started with Cardioscribes a few weeks ago and like it very much. There is plenty of work. The people are extremely nice and helpful and are always available to answer questions. Communication line is great.
cardioscribes pay
THIS COMPANY IS NOT GOOD ABOUT PAYING ON TIME. THEY EXPECT A TURNAROUND TIME FOR THEIR WORK, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR MONEY
Cardioscribes
Has anyone applied and heard back from them? Good, bad or indifferent?
cardioscribes
I have been with them for a month now and I LOVE THEM!!! They are awesome to work for with good accounts, plenty of work and pay on time. Good management support as well.
Cardioscribes pay
i cannot image such a thing happening with this company. if indeed it did happen that way, a simple phone call would clarify any issues. i have been with them for well over a year and have never had a paycheck late and in fact - have been paid promptly each and every time i submit a billing statement. i would like to have the details of your experience. something must have gone terribly wrong.
Cardioscribes
This is a great company to work for. The system is good, the communication is good, and your work schedule is flexible. I have never had a problem getting paid, which of course is the most important thing. If you like cardiology, this is the place to be!
Cardioscribes
I had heard that they did not have set pay days, that sometimes it would be a couple days after invoicing and other times a week. Is this true?
Cardioscribes
I can tell you the platform is a breeze. It will take about 15 minutes to train. Team spirit is wonderful. There is great communication especially when you are getting started. You are not just left hanging. If you know cardio you will not have a problem with any of these accounts. In my opinion, you will love it. Ton of work now and coming up.
Cardioscribes
Was anyone scheduled for training today?
cardioscribes
I have been trying to work with them, but, while I am quite self-sufficient and a self-starter, I do need a little bit of guidance and it doesn't seem to be coming with this company. The first couple of times there was no work, then I got a job, but no samples or idea of how to format. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Let me know how it goes with you.
Cardioscribes...sm please
Are there a lot of ESLs on the accounts? Seems like every place I have ever worked typing cardio....the ESLs far outnumbered the EFLs. Thanks.
Any Cardioscribes MTs know
I had sent all my paperwork to the recruiter and I've been trying to email her but am getting no replies. I started a little before the pay period ended and I'm trying to find out when pay day actually is. Is there a HR dept? I only have IM addresses of people I ask to send my MT jobs. Also, how do you contact QA people? Is there an acct list with contacts on it?
Cardioscribes - I see they are
current information on them? I applied the last time they were doing a big hiring but never heard back from them. Any current MTs working there that can share their experience? I see some posts regarding irregular pay dates - is this still going on or was it just a one time thing? How is the work load, do they have a lot of work? What kind of platform?
Cardioscribes
Guys I am so sad to see such negative posts on here. I have been with the company for a year now. I am the one who wrote the statement about the company thats posted on their site about how employees feel about the company. That is exactly how I felt about the company the day I wrote that and that is exactly how I feel about the company TODAY. I am not spokeperson for the company and I dont even play one on TV. I get paid just like everyone else, per line. I have never missed a check. If there was any kind of discrepancy, I have contacted the person who does our line counts and the issue has always been resolved. If , in fact, I was due more money, then they have wired the money to my account the following day. I have worked for several companies in the past and I was treated horribly. The QA was rude. They didnt even know who i was half of the time or even care. There was a certain amount (line count) I had to type or my employment was terminated, regardless of the fact that I have a family to feed. With Cardioscribes, its nothing like that. They call me by name, they are always helpful and pleasant and they understand that I have a life outside of work, so if things come up (doctor apts, etc), they completely understand. NEVER have I been treated rudely by any employee from either India or the US Cardioscribes family. In fact, I have never seen such friendliness and willingness to help. I am so sorry for those that have had a bad experience with Cardioscribes, but really its just a handful of people who choose to be vocal on a company board, but the majority of Transcriptionist in the cardioscribes family are happy with their jobs. I truly hope that if you are considerating a position with Cardioscribes that you will not be discouraged by a few negative posts. Good luck in all you do.
What's up with Cardioscribes?
Are they reorganizing or was there a massive walk-out? I heard mixed postings here about this company, but thought that for the most part people were happy there. Suddenly all of these top positons even the admin asst is posted. Too bad you can't do one of these jobs remotely, it would be great to get a position like one of those but they are all on site. Anybody heard what's going on over there? Just wondering. TIA.
Cardioscribes
For anyone looking for information on this company, I am more than happy to share my experience. You may e-mail me privately. What I will say here publicly is that this is one of the most dishonest organizations (and I use the word organization very loosely here) I have been involved with. They began with the lie of misleading me into thinking that I was hired by and American-owned company. Then, once I began work, I was told to contact the MediHelp team to ask for files. It became very clear that the file allocation team consisted of all Indian workers. The allocation team lied to me on a daily basis about files being unavailable, and no wonder. Their leader, Rahul, made practice of lying constantly as well. I was liked to about everything from file availability to payroll. I confronted them about it and was fired during the middle of my shift one day. Keep in mind that my supervisor had given me glowing reviews of my work and had asked Rahul to make sure I had enough work each day. Suddenly, during my shift one day, I received the e-mail that I was fired. No phone call, no reason, no anything. My supervisor became very evasive and would not respond to my questions of why. I know why, though. I confronted Rahul and the allocation team about their dishonesty, and suddenly I didn't have a job. But I know for sure that my supervisor and her supervisor sided with the dishonest people and did not stand up for me because they obviously are spineless and they want to protect their own jobs. I can just about guarantee, though, that the Indians will cut them loose in the same cruel way I was treated, and it probably won't be in the distant future. These Indian companies have absolutely no loyalties to anyone. And I should have quit right on the spot when I found out that I had been lied to about the company's ownership. As their recruiter and transcription supervisors are American, you don't know when being hired what the truth is, and they are NOT about to tell you before you're already on the payroll.
cardioscribes
Just got offered a job. I know there are some on here who work for them. Please let me know what you think of them. Tx
Cardioscribes
I was offered a postion with this company over 6 months ago -- I normally will listen to a radio station or 2 via the internet with a local station in my home state or whatever -- I woke up one night to pings going on with my computer and LO and behold it was Cardioscribes tech support -- accessing my computer at 3-4 a.m. Their Indian tech suport when I called was extremely rude and said :they were trying to fix a problem on MY end -- I think not -- they were grabbing my computer -- I then went to Hiwired and paid $90 to have them get my system straight -- I NOW have AVG, cccleaner, smartdefrag, registry fix and advanced system care -- ALL of which are free and run them daily and throughout the day !!!! Might want to try this -- I had a tech from a REPUTABLE company here in America on the East coast telling me he was impressed with the stuff that I have on my computer -- I also have superantispyware run it daily and have never had problems -- EVERY time you are on this site or another its tracking and so many new MTs and even older MTS dont understand that you have to do daily tune ups
Off the box for now cause it is hot and humid here
CardioScribes
 Shannon,I w as offered a jot with them. will you please email me at gin3tac@yahoo.com
Try Cardioscribes and NEMT
question on the Cardioscribes ad..TIA
 If you're an indpendent subcontractor, is it possilble to gain PTO as Cardioscribes mentioned in their add? I've always known PTO goes with employee status.
CardioScribes - anyone work for them - sm
Do they have any ICs? Do you commit to a time frame to work? How is the pay? Is it easy/difficult to get the lines in? E-mail privately if you wish - thanks!
Information on CardioScribes??
Does anyone have current information on CardioScribes? Platform? Pay? QA? Scheduling? Benefits? Treatment of transcriptionists? I see they are advertising on the job board again and I am tempted. Any input greatly appreciated.
CardioScribes platform ? sm
Anyone working for Cardioscribes - can you tell me what text Expander program you are using with their Wordscript platform and if you like it. Thanks!
Cardioscribes - Has anyone that applied in the (sm)
past month actually started working for them yet? I applied but didn't hear anything yet. Older posts imply they are just busy and are getting to applicants. Any information anyone can share? Do they pay on time? How is QA? Is there lots of work? ESL percentage?
CARDIOSCRIBES ROCKS!
I completely agree with Krissy. This is the first job I have LOVED in over a decade. The company is great and it truly has a family feel to it. The problem is that the MTs who ARE happy to be working for Cardiscribes don't have time to reply to every insane response on this forum. Most of us are happy and well-adjusted, and quite frankly too busy with our work to respond to such negativity.
Happy at Cardioscribes
You're right, I've never been on this site until Friday. But you'll see me often now. And you will ALWAYS see my name. I really like to put it out there when I believe in something. And I do believe in Cardioscribes. Glad you're happy at your job as well. I can really hear it in your writing. You hardly sound bitter at all.
My experience with Cardioscribes
I had been hired to work for them however, had Word 2000 and did not change which they said was fine no problems. I had my computer on listening to talk radio and I woke up at 2:00 a.m. one morning to find their Indian techs accessing my computer and royally screwed it up -- needless to say, I was livid and still paying for the Cardioscribes experience even though I NEVER received a paycheck from them and yes -- It was ALL India and RUDE staff to boot
CARDIOSCRIBES SUPPORTER
Wow. Guess what? As far as I can tell, humans still run this company. Sometimes unpopular decisions are made, and sometimes there is human error involved. On behalf of Cardioscribes, I am sorry if anybody was lied to or felt slighted by something said or done by any member of Cardioscribes.
Cardioscribes' biggest fault is the fact that this company is completely transparent. Sometimes what you see is not a pretty picture. But it's a work in progress. Sit tight. We'll grow from this, and continue to try to learn and do the right thing.
I still love this company and the people I work for. It would take a lot more than a few missteps and human error to change that.
