I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
Glad you love your company. Hope you stay there - LOL
nm
Another reason to stay absolutely sm
up to snuff with what current standards are and what large MTSOs want to see. I've seen many people with 15-20 years in who can't pass a test because they are creatively editing what is dictated, transcribing incorrect or prohibited abbreviations, or making gross errors on their tests.
Very well put. I also hope you stay, GP.

I feel the same way!!! I love Keystrokes...I have finally found my fit....
I type Ortho and absolutely love it!!!
Absolutely love my job! nm

I absolutely love them...sm
I have worked for them almost 2 years and have been totally and completely happy. They treat you great. The account I work on is internet based with an excellent platform using MS Word. I would highly recommend this company.
I absolutely love your saying of
you'd rather herd cats! I have 3 of my own and I can only imagine that fiasco in my mind. They march to their own drum, wouldnt come to you when you call them for nothing, aloof, oh, how I love my furries.
Been there for 4 years and absolutely love it! sm

Good accounts, pay on time via direct deposit, higher pay than most, smaller company where people still know you by name and truly care.  As for the platform, you type in Bayscribe and send your reports in live via the web site.  Some accounts are converting to wav files, and some are still via C-phone and you have to pay your own long distance. 


Of course, as with all companies, one man's paradise is another man's hell, so I am sure there are those who will disagree with me.  If I can answer anymore questions, fee free to ask.


Good luck! 


I currently work for them, and absolutely love them!
Pay is direct deposit and always on time. The account I'm on is relatively easy, although there are a few ESLs. I've been there 6 months now, and am very happy.
I absolutely LOVE Inscribe
Everything is so user friendly, and I love the fact that you can see what jobs are coming up and you can print them, so you know how much work there is actually on the system and how much you have produced. It is the BEST that I have seen out there!! Hope that helps.
I absolutely love Allscripts...
I've used quite a few platforms and Allscripts is just about my favorite. MS Word-based, and the count on the account I was on (no headers/footers) was accurate with Word's count.  If the authors/account use markers the demographics fill in quickly; the environment is very clean and efficient, simple and easy to understand, moving really smoothly from one job to the next with little-to-no fuss. Get in and out of the program very quickly, too.  I think you will love it! 
I work there and absolutely love it. You
set your schedule each week in 2-hour blocks each day. You have a minimum production per day you have to do and you need to work sometime within the blocks of time you schedule yourself.
Absolutely love my job at Meridian.

I absolutely love your answer (sm)
I, like you, have read some of the newbie's questions and if a person thinks VR can train a newbie, then apparently they don’t know 1 thing about VR. I have worked in this field since 1973 and as matured as I am, you have to be on your toes all the time whether straight or VR and it is not a teaching machine. Why people on here get the idea that being slower, having lack of experience in MTing or whatever better qualifies them to work on VR, I have no clue where that comes from.
I love Heartland and want to stay
I went through the training program and I loved it. Yes at the start you may only be doing a few jobs and waiting on feedback, but you are being paid by the hour doing this time. My sups were great and help me so very much and i keep in contact with them via e-mail all the time. I could have had first shift, but being a single mom i asked for thirds and i sleep while my kids are all at school. They train you on jobs and docs on the accounts you will go live on which i think is a big plus. In regards to not getting paid when there is no work. Just in the recent past the have now started to pay us our hourly rate for stand by time. You must check for work every 15 to 20 min. I was given many helpfu websites from my sups, and we was just given a new bonus program and rates also!!!. We have not been sold and on the last update we was given they had not even narrowed it down to 1 bider and that in itself does not mean HCR will sell. I love my job with Heartland and hope i can continue so. We get health, dental, vision, 401K, we get 10 days vacation after one year, 40 hours PT, 6 sick days a year and of course holidays. I myself cannot say anything but good about all those i have work with at Heartland.
I absolutely love it and make lots of $$$ on it. sm
Been working with eScription for about 6 years now and absolutely love it. Would not want to go back to straight transcription ever.

I also make great money with it ~ at least $50 an hour, consistently.

I count my blessings every day!
I'd love to stay in touch via email...sm
just click on my user name. Look forward to hearing from you!
I work for Shapin as lead QA and absolutely LOVE my job..sm
The owner is the most fair employer Ii have ever had!! She is kind to personal situations. She will help you out any way she can. I make really, really good money working for her. She is looking for more editors, as the company is growing a great deal. If you want more info, please feel free to contact me at MaryC_RI285@msn.com.
Welcome to KS....I hope you love it as much as I do...
nm
Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
I can't afford to stay with VR. If they paid more, I'd stay.
The situation sucks. I really liked this company when I started there. I know they read these forums, and they are aware that we are unhappy over VR line rates. They stroke us with cute emails and say we're the best, but I can't feed my family on praise. They're turning into another MedQuist, and so I'll be leaving.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Stay low and stay very, very quiet. Do not
ask questions, do not talk to the supervisors unless forced to. The answer will always be the same, that you are the only one who has an issue, everything else is perfect. Never mention anyone's name. This place has the mentality of the Borg, everyone has been assimilated, which means if your supervisor does not like you, or does not like your friend, you have no chance. You associate with so and so, so you are exactly like them. That quickly goes through the Borg network and every team lead, ROM, and person in management, including HR, is aware of it. You'll be labeled a trouble maker and your life will not be worth living. Any trial to clear your name will be done in the fashion of the trial of witches. You are in a dunking chair - if you drown you are innocent but it is too late by then.

Remember, a ROM never makes a mistake and never tells something that isn't true. They are perfect (and nastier than a pack of hiennas.)

If you run out of work, it is your fault. You are just lazy. Can't make enough to take care of your family? Too bad, you need to work harder.

And forget getting an answer from management. It doesn't
happen. So, as before, stay low and very quiet.

And do a good job? You can be assured that if you do a good job, do what you are supposed to do, and stay quiet, no one will even recognize your name. They have no idea where you work, what your schedule is, or that you even belong to Transcend.



Yes, I finally did.
Very, very small local company. I'm crossing my fingers that this will be my home for awhile. It's been a difficult journey trying to find some place that did what they said they were going to do, doesn't offshore and has enough work.
FINALLY!

Finally someone saying how pathetic it is to see those types of posts and them not take it off the board!  I posted one like that a few months ago and the "board patrol" wiped it off here that day! 


You are correct.  So many of the people act like teenagers on this board that I have found myself coming here less and less.  It's no fun to sit and listen to griping, complaining, cussing, and down right rudeness on here all time time. 


We should be coming here to get away from that!  Let's party!  Have fun!  Be happy!!!!   


Finally...
I applaud you.  The others need to pay attention.  I give you A+ for what you said.  That was well said.
YEA - SOMEONE finally GETS IT!!!

do you think they are finally (sm)
doing what most others are doing in being so cautious to meet the TAT that there is not enough work to go around? Wondering...
FINALLY!!!
This is a refreshing change. Thank you SO MUCH for not being all doom and gloom like the rest. Its nice to hear that there is a glimmer of hope out there.

PS... We probably don't hear from MTs like you very much because you're actually out there working instead of here (like me) transcribing my thoughts for free.
Hip-hip Hooray, finally
someone explains exactly what is happening at MQ even at ST.Louis office. They put so many people on the accounts, you get switched back and forth from account to account. It is feast or famine in a way. During my scheduled shift, which they asked for, there was no work. If I was willing to switch accounts daily and multiple, and sit on the computer and wait for work, I could make the line count, but I had to sit and wait and watch when the work was available. This was ridiculous.
I finally learned
after three months of lies and late paychecks I quit. Great docs, but if you can't get your money, it doesn't really matter. Don't do it!
FINALLY THE TRUTH ABOUT OSI
About a year ago one of the owners, Andy Renfroe was speaking for all of the owners and sent a companywide email after OSi got caught sending work to India. This is a portion of the email that he sent to OSI employees, and this is why people quit and are still quitting OSI in droves - because OSI never admitted this until they got caught! This is the truth and you can take it with a grain of salt if you want to.

I always did. I finally left. nm

RAD MTS-good pay finally

Just got put on an acct for 9 cents per gross line plus $1.00 per report, did not know how it would work out because by other account pays 14.5 cpl.  Well, let me tell you I am making 10-13 dollars more per hour, what about that!!!!


They finally did pay me Friday
Well I finally did get all my pay, minus the western union fees. But what it took me to get it was almost not worth it.
OK finally an answer!
Well I guess you realize you've just identified yourself...

From what I can see you are upset about 50 lines a day; 1/2 of 1% 0.50%. Yes that adds up over a payperiod, but it's still a small difference.

How many lines did you lose doing all this posting? :) kidding.

It's up to you how much you stress over this, but you may see conspiracy here when all it is an internal calculation that doesn't count a signature line for example - where your counters do.

Is it really outside the realm of possibility that there is no intent to defraud here?






finally quit!
just quit my job yesterday and a weight has been lifted.  I had been experiencing a lot of issues in the past 6 months and finally thought to my self, I've had enough!
I finally did leave!

Paradise has been found right here in my own back yard.  Actually, it was always there, I just needed to kick myself in the arse to make the move back there...so glad I did....like you have no idea how glad!  I actually LOVE my job again.  Small MTSO, lovely ladies, not too bad pay, and the best part is the the mental anguish has completely disappeared. 


I feel so badly for the people still trapped there.  There are some fantastic people there who deserve so much better but, like me, have to stay because, well, you gotta do what you gotta do.  If I still had to carry insurance for my husband, I'd still be there, pissin' and moanin' and growing more bitter day by day. 


My faith in home-based medical transcription has been restored and yes, I feel rejuvenated and back to my old self again.  Thanks for askin!


Thanks KS MT...she told me 2/1 so hopefully it will finally be 3/1..otherwise, I will just (sm)
have to drop mine until I find a plan on my own.  I just can't afford over $500 per month anymore.
finally someone who knows what they are talking about
wow!
Thanks to both of you for the support. I *think* I am finally done with the Q...sm
after spending a productive day with potential employers.

I'm just afraid someone is going to pinch me and wake me up from my dream of finally escaping.

Finally...somebody..Bingo. Thank you cm... NM
x
finally, someone else who feels the
way that I do. We are all human beings with feelings and deserve to be treated as such. Thank you.
Finally someone speaks up for the MTs...sm
and tells it like it is.  It's sad that the MTs, who are the mainstay of the transcription business, consistently get the brown end of the stick.  MTSOs and QAs are the only ones that have a right to make a living, right?  Our kids deserve to eat 3 meals a day, just like theirs do.  The busy MTSO and the QA who thinks filling in blanks or looking something up is beneath him/her needs to wake up.  Since when is their time better than ours?
She must have run away finally..what a loon...nm
xx
Hahaha! I think she finally got it...She
should have exited with a formidable

'I screwed up'....LOL,

same with 'deenibeeni' !
The ax finally falls at TT

Email went out today that everyone is now being asked to make speech editing a part of our daily routine!  Stated traditional is now the exception and not the rule anymore and we must all move in the same direction to remain competitive. 


This was the LAST thing I wanted to hear, but I sure knew it was coming judging by the way work has dwindled compared to what was available a year ago, whether it be holidays or the middle of the year.  I have no desire whatsoever to move towards speech and I am very upset knowing I have to.  It is not that I am against trying it, I have just gathered the opinion from this board that more than not do not like it and do not make as much money.  I absolutely cannot afford to take a cut in my paycheck in these times. 


Not even 1 hour later came another email touting the great responses and lots of them!  Well, everyone at TT already knew they could try speech at any time...so why wait until today to inquire if they were so excited? 


Good day gone bad for me....


I'm glad someone else finally said this...
It seems in some ways as if TT will hire just about ANYBODY.  I too have been shocked at the quality of the transcription from some of the other TT MTs.  TT just doesn't pay that well, either.  I do like the people in the office.  They are very nice.  But, unfortunately, nice won't pay my bills. 
FINALLY, offshoring to take a hit.
Did anyone see the news conference this morning where the administration is going after the offshore companies?  No more tax credits/loop holes for sending OUR jobs overseas.  Yay, yay, yay!  Now, maybe we can finally turn things around.
Finally, someone with a bit of sense about her
I am glad someone figured this out. You bottom lined it, out of a job, life is going on for the company as before.
