Attn: MTs at Precyse, MDI-FL.

I'm a normally high producer who can type all work types.  Is it reasonable to think I could be at 250-300 LPH with your company in a month or two? 


Do you have a stable work flow.  Do you EVER run out of work if you do all work types and are willing to work on several accounts?


Any major negatives I need to know about your company?   (I'm already aware that Precyse outsources).


Thanks for any information.


Attn: OSI management

If you guys want to save what's left of your poor reputation, you may want to make sure this little girl stays off this board.  She can't even spell (look at her post above) and she's going on and on about being promoted to QA because she is a new girl and ya'll like to give the QA jobs to the new girls because of their excitement????!!!!


DAMAGE CONTROL!  DAMAGE CONTROL!


 


ATTN: DOLFAN
Do you still work for Transolutions?  I am thinking about making a change from Transcend to them.  Can you give me some info?  Thanks a lot.
ATTN: All MTS, big money to be
A whopping .05 per line if you have 3 or more years of experience with TST. I encourage everybody to apply now. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ATTN - Judy

Basically what I said was true. I could not make any money with them because of the wasted time on demographics. 


If you don't need benefits your best bet is Phoenix Medcom http://www.phoenixmedcom.com/ or MDI-MD http://www.transmdi.com/home/.  


One of the best companies with benefits is Axolotl.  http://www.axolotl.com/index.htm


ATTN: LINDA WITH ORACLE

Linda, I posted a response to you on the previous message regarding oracle but it has now been moved to the second page.  I sent you an email through MTStars but you can also click on my name and send me an email.  I would to get some additional information from you regarding Oracle.


TIA


Attn: Ex-Heartland Employees re: the WARN Act

For any MTs who have been laid off from Heartland or anywhere else, you might want to look into the WARN Act at the Department of Labor web site, www.dol.gov.  There might be resources available to help you.


ATTN: OSi employees wanting to leave
Opti-Script, Keystrokes, WEBMEDX.  I went to work for one of these companies, and they are still hiring.  Good luck.  Much, much better than OSi. 
Transcenders
How are things these days at Transcend?  (Need a second job)
re: Transcenders
apply, get hired, then you will know yourself.
For Transcenders everywhere...
I have a question... For those who work on Meditech, how long after you were hired did it take them to get you set up on Meditech? Because I'm not on their platform yet I've been doing all my work on Word which sucks because of course there are no medical expansions, just common everyday words. It's been 2-1/2 weeks now and I'm still not on Meditech, when I asked someone about it they said the hospital was still working on it. My question is how long did it take any of you to get set up? This no expansions thing is killing my line count and I can't afford to buy any exp. software right now.
? for Transcenders
Do you work VR or strictly transcription? If you work in VR, do you find it easy to make the same amount you once did when you were transcribing? Do you like working in VR? Thanks for answering!
Thank you, Admin!!! sm
It's not that I don't believe MQ MTs have just as much right to post here as anyone else. It's just that there are so darned many of them that wading through their posts was getting to be a pain.
Kudos to ex-Transcenders...

For standing up to these lousy companies who think they can s*** on us and feed us a line of crap, thinking we're too stupid not to buy into it! I am so disgusted and angry about what I've been reading - if Medquist pulled this on us I'd be outta there in a New York second. You guys are too good and there are too many other companies out there to put up with this kind of bull. Remember, we are in the driver's seat, we can be picky - demand far exceeds supply for professional MT's and you guys are sticking it to Transcend as should all new and old MT's. I also believe MTStars should ban any further job postings from Transcend - it is a total insult to us to allow them to continue to post, IMHO.


Thank you for standing up for yourselves and, indirectly, for all us MT's!


want to hear from transcenders who
have worked on VR and have been able to make at least what they always made, how much they have to edit to do this and how long it takes.  How has your life changed due to this as far as the amount of work it requires.  How much money can you bring home doing this realistically given the hours you work.  No flaming and honest input please.  Trying to figure out where I will stand when I do it.
Question to other Transcenders

when i go on editing, what will my pay rate be if I now make 8.5 cpl?  Also, that will be with NO incentive rate, right?  So, if I edit 1100 lines per day, what will I make per pay before taxes?  Also, how hard will it be to edit 1100 lines per day between 8 and 4 p.m.?  Is it possible?  Does anyone do it?


Thanks for the help, can't figure out all this mess!


Transcenders: What is the AIM platform?

All thoughts welcome.


Question for Transcenders
Do your supervisors work from home or from the Transcend office?
Transcenders - watch out.
We finally had enough work this weekend to keep busy, so now they will hire 100 more people to make sure this doesn't continue.  No one in their right mind would work there for a full time job.  It is fine to work part time to supplement another job, but don't depend on them for anything consistent.  
To Transcenders...I'm confused...sm
I am suppose to train this week to start work for Transcend.  I have been getting the daily emails about account status and it looks like there is work, but I keep reading where there is not enough work to go around, so I am confused.  Is there or is there not work?  I really need to know what is going on before I officially go through training.  and then it is too late.  Thanks.     
Any Transcenders using Escription

I really need some feedback from fellow Transcenders.  New to Escription and not making any money. Yes using shortcuts, etc. But need 3000 lines to make what I did before minimum.  Without compromising quality, don't see how this will work.  Have heard from these boards that it depends on  how many docs you have on account, etc.  Anyone from transcend, help!! Need some advice, tips, whatever, from one MT to another.


 


CURRENT TRANSCENDERS: Does everyone have
Insurance is critical for me.  I'm a good, steady producer and I'm not averse to having a few accounts at a time or working evenings, which is my preference anyway, so I hope I can maintain the $900 requirement.  All these posts about not qualifying for insurance or losing it because of production is making me very nervous.
Transcenders - we get your work, do you get ours?
I've heard in the conference calls both from MDI people and Transcend people that we get to cross-train to take Transcend work if we get low.  Has Transcend been telling their MTs that they get to take MDI work if they get low?  Curious if they've been saying it both ways.
Transcenders what region
You girls with no work, what regions do you work in?  I work on 2 different platforms, BeyondTxt being one and in both my regions work is plentiful.  I have 5 backup accounts in case things slow down but they haven't on my primary and they are always asking for help on my secondaries.  Not saying you aren't telling the truth, just wondering what region it is.  Do you do more than one worktype?  I know where are some girls in my region who only will do one worktype and won't try anything else.  That makes for a smaller paycheck, I'm thinking.  Just curious so don't flame me.
Transcenders-Per line how much do you make?

Current Transcenders, how much do you make per line and how much experience do you have?


Is 9.5 cpl any good?


Perhaps the new motto for Webbers and Transcenders
should be: BOHICA - Bend over, here it comes again.
I've been in admin before... (sm)

It was impossible to balance the accounts and keep everybody happy. Stuff would get backed up to the point that accounts were in danger of being lost. MTs would be hired. Dictation would suddenly slow down, and people would run out of work. Some would be out of work while others had tons of work due to individual ability to do various work types.

I don't think they try to overhire. Usually the people who recruit are told what to hire for. They don't have anything to do with setting the number. It's just a crappy field. Either the clients are unhappy or the MTs are unhappy. I'm an MT again, and I can relate to both. The field just sucks if you don't have a backup form of income.


obviously there is a KS admin person
You may have had a good experience, but others are not and that cannot be denied. I was raring to start work and I got pushed away until... their loss, I might add.... I got another offer, a pretty good one at that.

The Admin is not the offshore
nm
You have to have admin rights to get
.
What do mean by admin rights?
Do you mean whoever we work for has control over the line counting method? 
IP numbers can be seen by the admin BUT a lot

of money will be paid for the service of having someone's records subpoenaed. I have read this entire thread and I see nothing that anyone can really do.


IP addresses are not definitive either. Groups of people can share an IP address particularly on places like AOL and there are other companies that do it that way also, so someone would really have to go to lengths to find out the definite ID of someone. I don't believe I have read anything other than independent opinions presented on this topic.


These boards are to share opinions and not all opinions are fair, but this is the United States and we do have freedom of speech. Presenting an opinion about a company is ok. Libeling a company is not. I do not see libel at all in this topic.


Current post-merger transcenders

I would like to hear from current transcenders, who became part of Transcend through a merger (like MDI-FL, etc).


Did transcend maintain your current line rate, and if you don't mind, were you making more than 9 cpl?  If you were moved to VR, how did they calculate that rate?  Did they tell you that all MTs receive say 50% for VR or did they just tell you what your individual line rate would be for VR?


Just to clarify, I'm not asking you specifically how much you make, but rather if they reduced the rate your previous company was paying you and how they determine the VR rate.


I feel bad for moderate/admin
They remove them, but they don't really realize that the posts are true.  There are so many things that happened to me with that company that were bad.  If they realized how true most of the posts were, maybe they wouldn't delete them so often.  I don't know.
Thank you, Admin. I agree wholeheartedly. NM

Kudos to you Admin!! Ty whoever had the proof too!

Well, think about it!! They lied to the MTStars Admin.

Anyone heard of these people?

I fell for the first part of their scam.

Now, I am trying to get my money back. I keep getting the run around from these people about my refund.

I just want some information about this company because I am considering turning them in to a few agencies.

If anyone has any information about them, please reply.

I could use the state that live in, perhaps an address, name of a contact at the company, and a phone number would be great too.

I would really appreciate any help anyone can give.

If anyone is interested in hearing of all of the steps I have taken so far in trying to get my money back, just let me know. I will be happy to share.
unless you're a moderator/admin..sm

unless you're sysops and/or can grab IPs and DNS, you can only SURMISE who is posting what....


However, the moderators and administrators can tell for sure.... *S* 


You can email me at admin@mtstars.com

good advice from admin above
This is a good recruiting board.  Recruiters posing as MTs raving on and on about their company.  What snakes!
Any happy Transcenders out there? I know a couple people have left, not sure why. nm

I am thinking they are disorganized and shorthanded with admin
That is the impression I get.... and they called and told me not to call back because they are constantly on the phone. okay so ? But ?
cool board admin "stop the ...crap" nm

Not true. This info is on the Company board per Admin's request.
It is all clearly marked "MQ" somewhere in the subject line or name.

The Main board is virtually free of the new MQ posts. Go back over there or just scroll down the page to where you want to read.

No one has forced you to read anything. Admin made a request that the new MQ info be placed on this board and we have complied.

You're not obliged to read if you don't want to.
Prove it to me then. I'm open for discussion. You can email me at admin@mtstars.com

Used to use this in a hospital setting, admin could change the number of characters per line (sm)
at one point they had us typing an 80 character line. Talk about zapping your line rates down. Of course we worked for an hourly rate so it really didn't matter, just management's way of pushing us to do more. They only required 800 lines per day for a FT MT so they were trying to get their moneys worth I guess.
Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys.  I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information.  Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them?    Thanks very much!!!
Admin rights are rights to modify different facets of
?!?!
MDI-MD (not FL) could provide what you need. :nm

Yes they do provide PCs
You must meet production goals which you have to do anyway. The pay is good with a lot of different types of incentives. My accounts are good with moderate to low ESLs and I'm not running out of work. I didn't need the computer but an MT I referred does use a TranTech PC. Overall great company, smart move on my part.
