I made the classic mistake.........I was promised a full time position with Chronicle Transcript in California.  I went part-time with my full-time job because they treat me like crap, but we have always had work............well I have no work at Chronicle.................do not make the mistake I made, because these people do not care that we have bills to pay............have families depending on us.........I am telling you don't waste your time buying word 2003...........it will be a waste of your money............because they don't provide enough work to pay your bills..........I am scared to death that I may lose my car...........

I would like to contact anyone that has ever worked for Rapid Transcript out of Los Angeles or Las Vegas.  I am contacting the Attorney General Offices in both of those states regarding the pay practice (or no pay practice) of this company.
Rapid Transcript
I would be more than careful of this company. It does not pay its MTs.
Any info on Transcript-USA ?

Anyone work for or know anything about Rapid Transcript?

They appear to have an Indian connection now.  See their current ad.  I suppose only time will tell if this has improved anything or not.

Anyone out there working for Rapid Transcript as an editor? How long do you have to wait before being paid? I was thinking about starting to work for them but am having second thoughts. Would love to hear from current employees.
Rapid Transcript
Amy is so right about this company using new employees to get free work.  Last year, I was hired by them to be a QA Editor.  They had a probation period (which I completely understand), but they were so fussy when it came to formatting, punctuation, spacing, etc. that they kept asking that I transcribe 5 more reports -- yes TRANSCRIBE!  I was hired as an editor, but I was required to transcribe these reports so that they could make sure I understood what their process was.  To make a long story short, after being asked to transcribe 5 more reports about 10 times, I finally stood up and said something.  They then proceed to say that I was not what there were looking for in an editor, but that if I wanted a transcription job, they would be more than happy to hire me!!!  Can you believe their gall?  I wasn't good enough to be an editor, which I never really got a chance to do in the first place, and then they offered me a typing job!  I, too, had a lot of trouble getting payment from these people.  I would email two, maybe three, times a day asking about my payment.  It took months (after I verbally refused to work for them until I received payment) and finally I received it in full and said good riddens to bad rubbish!  PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!
Rapid Transcript
Are you a new employee, i.e. hired in the last month?  If you read your contract with Rapid, it takes 30 days to get you into the system and process your first check.  I was upset that I did not get paid after being with the company 2 weeks until someone pointed out the clause in the the contract, which I had not read carefully enough.  I have worked for companies who have done the same thing - made me wait a month for my first check.  When I saw this and other posts, I confronted the company about it.  The person with whom I spoke was very nice and patient about it and stated emphatically that I would receive my first check and when.  I know Rapid has had problems in the past, but rather than get upset over these posts, which I did, I am going to give the company a chance.  
Advance Transcript

Rapid Transcript, Inc.
Yes, that's it. Now I have seen some replies in very old posts so was wondering if anybody could give me a more recent heads-up on them?
Thanks in advance.
Transcript USA- Anyone have any information
about them, pay, benefits, platform, etc..
Rapid Transcript
 A word to the wise...
Rapid Transcript does
www.rapidtranscript.com

I hear they are getting some new clinic and doctor's accounts (non-hospital) which will pay more timely, and ensure prompt payments to their MTs. They are always looking for sharp people. In the past, they have been a slow payer of ICs bcuz hospitals were slow payers, but it looks like this is turning around. They are very nice and accommodating, and appreciate careful work. ICs only. Any schedule usually; very flexible.
Rapid Transcript
I thought I would put in a good word for Rapid Transcripts... I did some work for them and got a check today.  There have been negative posts that they don't pay.  They had told me it may take up to 45 days for a check, and it was a little less than that. 
LOL - I always say there is no perfect transcript
May be irrelevant, but I love it.

In the WP51 and long Word document days, I used to say I'd never seen a perfect document. Maybe a perfect report, but never a whole document that was 100%. And I've proofed some pretty great MTs.
Rapid Transcript

Stay far away from this company.  I have worked for them for 2 1/2 years and they owe me lots of money.  Shame on me!!!!!


Well, I found out it is Rapid Transcript - sm
I will NOT work for them - people have had trouble getting their pay and I believe they might outsource. 
Rapid Transcript used to, I think. I'd be careful of them, though. nm

Any recent information on Transcript USA? -sm

I noticed in past posts they said they hound you when you're not working. But they're advertising a flexible schedule right now.  Is that something new?


Any problems with getting paid?  Is the pay decent?


Do they have decent accounts or are they for the most part extremely difficult?


Is their system efficient?  I'm so tired of wasting so much time keeping logs of everything and having to type patients' names and data that I don't get paid for. 


Is the sound quality good?


Is it really all American?


Anyone work for Rapid Transcript (RTI)
And are you having problems being paid?
CURRENT Rapid Transcript IC's
I have been reading past posts about the problems people have been having getting paid by Rapid Transcript. What I am wondering is if anyone is CURRENTLY contracting with them and getting paid on time or is it just a wast of time to do work for them because I will not get paid in a timely fashion? I am supposed to start editing for them on Monday, but I'm not even going to waste my time if they are continuing this non-payment policy.

Thanks for any and all input.

RAPID TRANSCRIPT~ Any Info on company???

Just Curious if anyone knows anything good or bad about this company. Thank You!


Rapid Transcript- Is anyone else having problems getting paid?
I was thinking about applying for an MT position with this company and I am so happy that I read this message about non-payment. How can they get away with it? Is anyone else having this problem or did they accidently mess up on just paying this individual? Very unfortunate situation.  I hope Amy gets paid for her work and they are held accountable for non-payment.
Is anyone else having trouble getting paid by RAPID TRANSCRIPT lately???????????
Please let me know if any else who reads this message is having trouble getting paid from RAPID TRANSCRIPT from last month. I stopped working for them when pay was not on time and I am still awaiting payment. Now, I am behind on rent and I need to know when I am going to get paid. I'm about to check into LEGAL action!
Rapid Transcript may have not paid in the past, But
I have never had a problem receiving my pay. I have worked for the company for 8 months now. I have not one time had to complain about not receiving my check. I always get it when it is due. It is not direct deposited, so it is possible for it to be a day earlier or a day later than you expect it sometimes only because it gets sent by mail. Hope this helps.
Medware, Transcript USA, Precyse Solutions

Any current and new information on Transcript USA. I cant find anything on them.
Thanks. They called once, but when I called back, they never returned my call. I see their hiring again and thought about applying but would like to find more information first
I'm looking for info on the company - Rapid Transcript.
Thanks
Anybody work Transcript USA? I looked in the archives but SM
didnt find much of anything current. Thanks in advance.
Any info. on Rapid Transcript, Inc? Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi, I would greatly appreciate any information on Rapid Transcript, Inc., i.e. line rates, paycheck accuracy, benefits, etc.   Thank you kindly!! 


Rapid Transcript, Inc (RTI) does not pay its employees in a timely manner, if at all

I would be very hesitant to work for this company. I have filed complaints against them with the Attorney General's Office and with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.


If you go to the Better Business Bureau page and look this company up you will also see that they have a F rating.


It is very unfortunate, because they have good dictators at good hospitals and I am sure that they are paid in a timely manner, you would think that they would do the same for their contracted employees.


They stated in an e-mail to me that I should not contract my services out if I expect to be paid. They do not care about their employees at all. They are just using new employees to get free work.


Has anyone heard of Transcript USA or have any information? Thinking of applying
I have no found no real information on them. Thanks for your time.
