HMMMM
The time it took for you to post this, you could have already dialed them up yourself and the got the answer straight from the horse's mouth!
hmmmm
Would not be my first choice... criminal history / conviction problems.  Think strings back in Sept about their legal issues in newspapers were deleted from this site.   May be a good fit for you, but check it out thoroughly first. 
Did you ever think hmmmm
Did you ever take a test and know good and well you aced it only to have a person call you back after several days to tell you you had failed? I tested only because I had approached them, never called them back, got another job in the meantime (theirs was fulltime and I wanted part which I got) and then today they are telling me didn't pass-- don't believe it with my 30+ years of MTing and told him exactly that. Thanked him for his time, of course. What is to be will be anyway is the way I look at life....
Hmmmm
I sure don't recall it taking that long. I was hired a little over a year ago. I didn't go through any testing process at all... Just an interview. I have been totally satisfied and happy with them so far. Good luck!
hmmmm...

Well, it doesn't sound much different than my situation. I have 3 accounts, was hired to do OPs specifically, I also do all cardiology diagnostic types as well, and willing to help out on other work types occasionally. I really don't think it is a matter of that work type running out.


I think I will have to inquire, just doesn't add up. Thanks for the advice.


Hmmmm
Why do I feel like somebody is snooping in my mailbox all of a sudden? Exactly how do you know that's not me? I do over 20,000 lines a pay period at least, sometimes more, so as you can see the highest pay of the new incentive scale is a definite increase, at least for me.
hmmmm
Well one would hope that there's enough work to go around. If that's the case then making sure clients get their reports in a timely manner is a good thing and makes our TAT's look good as well. The idea that they'll take just anyone who'll walk in thru the door over there is a good example of how little thought the MT company heads put into this kind of work. Makes one feel special doesn't it {sarcasm implied}.
Hmmmm
and that is exactly when a great company begins to fail.  Have to start hiring more micro managers, transcription leads, etc.  Too big too fast, and this is exactly what this sounds like to me, AND I have been with companies like this before, it is NOT GOOD.  You end up being a number, not a name.  So many companies fail when they grow too fast, not just transcription.  Number one no-no.  Last year the fight on who to work for was between Keystrokes and Transtech.  As of now, they are both getting negative reviews, big ones....stick with a mom and pop co. who treat you right, KNOW YOUR NAME, you are not just a number.  You will make plenty of money for those bills, guarantee it! 
Hmmmm...

I applied for a position at Keystrokes, was contacted by the CEO saying my test scores were excellent, was offered a job and sent paperwork to complete, sent back my paperwork with all my personal info and here it is 2 days later and I have not heard back from the recruiter after sending an email regarding whether or not she received my paperwork.  Hmmmm....

....
Hmmmm

I'm not too sure what to think of it either.  I've only been with DVHP for two months.  So far I'm enjoying it.  I do know that Transcend does the transcription for one of the hospitals near me (docs I have transcribed before).  I will be calling in for the conference call Sunday (missed Friday's because I was out Christmas shopping).  I would like it if I kept the same accounts I'm on now, since I'm pretty used to their formats, doctors, etc.  Then again, it would be nice to be added to that local hospital as well, since I am very familiar with the doctors and area.


I've heard good and bad things about Transcend, but I've heard the same about many other MTSOs as well.  We will just have to see.  When is this merger supposed to take place?


No hmmmm about it
if you live near East LA. It's a very common term there, unfortunately. I used to transcribe psychiatry and we had a lot of rehab reports with guys who were jonesing for their next fix.
Hmmmm

Thanks for the info ...no worries about me coming on board then.


Seemed a little too good to be true at first, then the flags started popping up.


Best wishes!


IN RESPONSE MS. HMMMM....
you aren't to bright are you?
Hmmmm...are they hiring??!?
x
Hmmmm... I dont think so
xx
hmmmm - can anyone say antitrust?

Just wondering here, may have to wiki that one.  How large would they have to be to constitute a monopoly in the industry? 


I worked, ever so briefly, for focus and it was a disaster.  Start, middle, finish.  It was, I suppose, a great place to get my feet wet, and if they had followed through on their promises as they said they would, I would probably still be there.  I had a real problem, though, with the whole smile and nod policy with the support staff.  You know, they don't understand a word/text message we say and so they smile and nod? 


Anyhoo, there is my two cents.

hmmmm....34 years and going ....
working exclusively at home for the last 9 years has revived my love for the work, as well as changing over to being an SE vs employee in the last few years. I love the freedom from a rigid schedule. I have always enjoyed medical knowledge, feel a sense of satisfaction from deciphering the difficult dictators and making a sensible, readable accurate report out of mumbojumbo. Course I love sailing through the easier ones in between. I guess I still find it challenging on some levels too. Maybe if you find it too hard to do 'one more report' sometimes, then it may help to work a bit less, take more vacation time, to try a new account, new hours, new company or change up something...get a massage, get refreshed!!
Hmmmm, that should be search box, DUH

Hmmmm - that's interesting
I read here that some hospital is docking the pay of their in-house MTs because they can't edit as fast as escription says they should be able to. Now, who to believe?
Hmmmm, I wonder who transcribes these reports.

Hmmmm.... Sounds like you're better off without them anyway!
nm
Glued to my seat???? hmmmm

Hmmmm ... this is a good question ... sm
and one I'd also like the answer to! ...
Hmmmm..... VEDDY interesting!
X
sounds like slander...hmmmm
;)
Hmmmm. Did you just suggest that people not come to MTStars?
You are a total mess, and how anyone could take anything you say seriously is beyond me.

You have a real problem! Please seek help!
Geez.. you must work where I have been working..hmmmm
Sounds familiar
Reading about how other country handled this, hmmmm
just on Entertainment Tonight they were telling about some pretty raunchy things, for example saying body found in net hose and other items that maybe should be left alone. It is not just other country giving out information, better look at our country also. Some of the weekly tabloids get things like this and run with it.
I've got a pretty nasty ESL account with them and I don't get 10 cpl. Hmmmm....nm

Hmmmm..I was afraid of that. I guess I saw that coming. Everyone said it'd change with the merger
and the days of a gift card would be gone. Oh well, it kind of goes along with everything else, different way to get shorted on line counts too. I guess ...This is what they call cutbacks.  Tis' the season

I almost took a job there but it was correcting voice recognition which I tried once and did not like.

MT is different in that each voice

So, an IC has the right to not take a voice file.  These contracts that state certain lines per week are for employees not ICs.  An IC has the right to pick and choose work just like any other profession. 


Also, painters do not sign contracts ahead of time.  You sign a receipt when the work is complete.  Another thing is when you find a painter that agrees to a timeframe and sticks to it, let me know.  They are contractors just like us where things come up and they cannot complete the work.  It is all part of being a contractor and being self-employed.


Voice rec
What companies pay 6 cpl for voice recognition? 
No. Expect good things, and good things will come

Voice Systems
What can anybody tell me about this company?  Good, bad?  TIA.
Voice systems
I would check this company out completely. I worked for this people just under a different company name about 4 years ago. The company filed bankrupcy and then reopened under Voice systems. Cindy and Lex have a reputation of being very unprofessional and they will bully an employee as well as a client. Just check them out thoroughly, they could have changed. I am trying to remember the name of the company, but I cannot off the top of my head. I will look into old tax records and see if I can find. They were based out of Albany GA at that time as well.
Voice Systems
I would not recommend Voice Systems. I had bad experience with them!!!

Voice transcription - sm

Thinking about testing for them.  I checked the archives and can't find anything.  This is all voice recognition work. I worked on editing voices files for the previous company I worked for.  I like doing this work, but didn't like the fact that it was less money.  I'm thinking I may be able to produce more to make up for the decrease in line rate.  Any thoughts on this company?


 


 


Voice Systems of Ga.
Don't do it!!!!! Very unprofessional.
FYI: Voice Transcription

I keep seeing people post about this horrific company and I thought I would share my experience with them:


1.  I still haven't received payment for work that I completed in November!! The owner (initials J.L.) keeps giving me different excuses of why she hasn't paid me. The one check I did receive from them was a month late.


2.  After one of my many emails about the money owed to me and how much exactly is past due, she sent me an email saying the amount wasn't right and that we had agreed on a lower rate for one of the clients!! Absolutely NOT true!! So, after I completed this work, she apparently decided that I would be paid 0.045 and not the 0.06/line as promised (VR editing acct.).


3.  I actually ended up quitting because J.L. went off on a rant saying that I had made an unacceptable mistake in one of the reports. Later, after I proved that I was right, she apologized and said that she had a temper because of a three day migraine.


Now, I only worked for this company for two months (thank goodness it wasn't longer). If you're okay with being treated like this and not getting paid for work that you complete and her changing your rate, then go for it, but I would highly advise against it!! For those of you below that stated you had not been contacted after testing, just thank your lucky stars that you aren't working for her and hopefully you'll take my advice and never work for her.


Voice Systems of GA
I don't think you would be happy with them.  Not very professional.
Voice recognition.
As far as I know, they only have one account and it is overstaffed so it is really hard to make any money. Some of the people hired for that account have moved on.
Voice Recognition
Does anyone know which companies hire reviewers/editors for VR work?  My hands/fingers are starting to really bother me and I need to shift gears.  Thank you!
Voice Recognition
For anyone out there who does voice recoginition can you tell me what you average per hour for lines.  Just curious to see if I am on the right page with it. Thanks 
couldnt tell by the voice

Accounts going Voice
The accounts I am working on are going voice, I just read it in their news.  My company did not tell me this.  All the while I felt like I was being used because it seemed like I was getting clean-up work.  There are hundreds or doctors and I rarely get the same one, so it's hard to get any speed up.  I have been given additional accounts, and checked them out and they will soon be going voice too.  Do I just hang in there or look for something with less doctors and more stability?  I am so disappoionted.  Have only been doing this for a few years, but wonder about the future.  My questions to the company I work for go unanswered.  Any input?
voice recognition
So far I have had the opposite effect (drop in production), BUT I have only been doing it for two months. Does someone have any hints???

Voice speed

I can't help with that as when I fix the voice through Express Scribe it stays that way.


 


 


Voice Solutions?

Does anyone out there use Voice Solutions by Central Voice, especially in conjunction with Meditech?  Just curious what all you had to have on your comp. to set up.


voice recognition.
I have been talking with a woman from Diskriter about part time shift and she did say something about willingness to learn about voice recognition. Does that mean that all the Transcriptionist become editors or how exactly does that work out for those working for them? Will there be layoffs?
