Company begins with a "T"
This woman has forever subcontracted work out under the guise of hiring for her own company. You end up making significantly less than you would working for the company you're typing for. Seems like this should be illegal. Don't know how she is getting companies to go along with this. I guess its the having no respect part of companies. I know of a couple of companies where the supervisor also gets a cut of the lines that are produced thats why perhaps they crack that whip because they know its going to affect their pay. This just gets more and more ridiculous and Im thankful I don't have to type. I will have to say I am so glad Im with a company that I believe is totally on the up and up with MTs. I won't give the name here because I will just be accused of trying to recruit which I am not.
Yes - it's the 2nd largest national, begins with S. :) NM

No it's a company in California begins with a
Everyone for the most part is friendly and helpful. It's just this one QA person who is rude and demeaning. I've been at this for over 15 years now. I get reports back with blanks she is not able to fill in but a report filled with commas and changed words that I KNOW where not dictated. When I questioned that I'm not given any explanation on how this was possible when I know it was not dictated. I think that is what may have triggered the attitude. I've already started looking so I can be prepared when I've had enough.
Are you by chance hired for the new acct which begins sm
next week? Aren't you working on the staging platform now (and being paid hourly) until that work goes live?
Each journey begins with one small step.
If one hospital/MTSO sees the folly of VR, the lawsuits, etc., they will stop this NONSENSE. Thank you for your validation of my efforts.
It is in Austin, TX.nm

They are located in Austin TX... sm
Joanna is the owner, she lives in Spain at the moment and that is probably why the caller ID did what it did. The way I understood it is Joanna and she has one FT IC who works with/for her. HTH.
If this company begins with D, your pay goes back to new-hire rate if there are ANY blanks in it

Any info on MedTrans Unlimited in Austin, TX?
Infrahealth in Austin, Texas.......Unbelievable. sm
So, there was ad for a QA/CSR on our local Craigslist that was offering 9.00 an hour for the position. I emailed them asking if perhaps this was a typo or a misprint. I received the following reply....
This is the amount that is offered for the position. I am not sure how familiar you are with Medical Transcription QA. But the level of responsibility is hardly that which would be expected an Editor of any printed literature or periodical.
Thanks,

FTP service
can anyone explain the difference of using an FTP and that of a company that expects one to have cable or high speed internet? I have been doing this for little over a year and hope this does not sound like a dumb question. Thank you for your help.
Another service
Please put your money where your mouth is, give initials or some relevant information, or please stop spreading innuendo. Thank you.
What service?
What service is she offering exactly? The service of placing yet another ad on the job board making us believe it is a completely different job only to be hired for the same account that Superior has listed right below it? Are you flipping serious? You honestly think we need this service? What a nice gig she has. I would love to place a bunch of ads and get people to work for a company and take a couple cents for each person I find. She must be exausted working so hard for us needy MTs. Thanks bunches TTD!!! What would we ever do without you? Go jump in a lake, fly a kite and kiss my butt.
At my very first outside service
job back in 1990 I was paid 7.5 cents per line based on a 55 character line for clinic work and a line was a line was a line. If I typed Sincerely, it was considered a line. None of this BS about characters only or black characters or no spaces or some other tomfoolery to rip off the MT. A large employer who has settled recently in a class action used to make us work on a 90-character line and then convert it to 55 when sent to the hospital and pocket the difference. Outrageous!
While I realize we will never have a line is a line again, unless you strike a good deal with a private doctor, I agree that a minumum 10 cpl (probably one of those tomfoolery lines to boot) in this day and age is not an obscene amount to ask for.
What other service do you mean? nm

What do they charge for their service?
I would be curious to know the cost of such a wonderful service and the success rate of placement.
Can someone tell me about JLG transcription service. Thank you.

try D&L typing service
I worked for them and they are closed on weekends so what they send you on Friday gives you all weekend to toggle it. Some of their work is also 48 hour turnaround time but depends on account. They pay on time also but no direct deposit.
DIT Service-please read
Has anyone in NC/SC heard or have knowledge of DIT Transcription Service out of Rock Hill SC. It is my understanding that they are outsourcing to India. Thanks in advance.
R&S transcription service
Hi, has anybody out there heard of R&S transcription service? What was your experience? Do they pay on time and are they friendly and fair? I am considering a radiology position with them.
Thanks in advance Thalia.
A to Z Transcription Service
Just wondering if anyone has any info to share on this company. I do not think that I have ever seen anything about them on this site, but I'm hoping someone here is in the know.
Thanks, and Happy Memorial Day everyone! 
D&L Typing Service
Looks like they are having problems again keeping their staff - they also have ads on other sites for recruiters - they just hired one a couple of months ago and they left - I here their tech staff is dwindling down too. Makes you wonder why they have the high TAT - I heard they had problems paying, hope all is well with MTs still there. We all know when a company is having problems it is our bottom line that hurts.
Working for an MT service...
9 cpl is about the highest I've seen.
Never rely on just one MT service...sm
In my 13 years as an MT, I have been nearly evicted because I relied on only 1 company to make ends meet. After that experience, I vowed to always keep at least two companies to work for. It takes about that many or more just to make job security in this industry, depending on who you work for.
I'm really hearing good things about Transtech and Keystrokes, though I've never been involved with either one. They are saying these companies give you back-up accounts with plenty of work. Again, this is hearsay from this forum. Sounds like it is worth a shot, though.
The PTO is according to your length of service
I work there and get 7.08 hours per check. I haven't noticed less PTO. My complaint is the HEALTH INSURANCE for MTs (NOT Management). Ours stinks this year. NO RAISES. Any extra money we make will go to paying medical bills the INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER and RX which is NOT covered anymore. They give us $500 to spend for the whole year and that's it. Then the deductible kicks in and it is $5000!!!! I am checking other companies.
D&L Typing Service Inc.
Any info on this company?
Does anybody know anything about D&L Typing Service? TIA. nm

Same happened to me with a different service sm
Priority Transcription out of Ohio. And I was not the only one who did not get paid. I guess that owner's priority is to stiff her MTs and keep the money herself. All I can say is karma. 
D & L Typing Service
Has anyone ever worked for D & L Typing Service? Good or bad??
D&L Typing Service ??
Does anybody know about this company? It may be one of the unknowns that is a good place to work. I did a search but found nothing on the boards. Any information would be appreciated! Thank you 
Has anyone used a service called
Transcription Matchmaker? Seems like a good idea but don't have time to waste my time right now. Thanks.
D&L Typing Service
It seems like every time (prior to the most recent fun going on there) when someone spoke of the BAD THINGS there, there ws that one MT that knew it all and said how great it was, and even called out one poster saying she knew why and when she was let go. I recall someone tried to call them out as a manager, seems like it must be true. No one has anything nice to say now. Did she not get paid too, is that why she is so quiet now?
I think if you get a check and it bounces you need to press charges. I guarantee you if D&L is paid by a bad check they would raise the roof. Unfortunately, the roof is pretty much falling in on them now. Not so many more stories can be told by them - they are running out of excuses.
I hope the Transcriptionist keep up the good fight and get what is theirs, and of course - I hope any company that would do this to others gets what they deserve as well.
D&L Typing Service
Unfortunately D&L is not out of business - wishful thinking perhaps on your part (and mine). Also, they did have a manager for three years who quit last year amid some storm and controversy - possibly she knew and got out quick - or was there another scandal not mentioned - who knows? And the post referred to was probably posted by the owner sticking up for D&L posing as IC, if you search back through the pages you will know which one was discussed. You are right, not one old or current IC will stick up for any owner of D&L, but their employees were great people. I wish them and the IC well, and hope they get their money.
It depends a lot on the service that has sm
your hospital's account.
Maybe the MTs should get finagle some kind of severance benefits package from the hospital--I believe it's been done by others.
You may end up making a lot more money at the service once you get your production up. Consider giving the service a shot as at least you know the account! As you said, your radiology dept might be outsourced, so if you hopped over to rads, you'd probably face this situation again.
I'd also check out the little hospital (you'd probably take a pay cut there) and see what it has to offer.
Play your cards close to your chest, hang onto a positive attitude(sure makes it easier!!!) and make the most of this new situation. This might be a very good change for you--make it one, anyway!
Best of luck!
Is this a service with an ad somewhere? Never heard of them. nm

ANP Transcription Service
Anyone hear of this company? I have been sending out resumes and today this came up in my bulk mail. I do not see where I sent them a resume. This is a mystery to me. Anyway, they do kinds of audio transcription, not just medical. I am looking for any information you can give me. TIA
What small service?
are you talking about? How do you know this?
It is possible to outsource to another service without

THIS SERVICE OWNER DOES NOT PAY
A friend of mine has been working for this service owner, located in Arizona, and has received only one paycheck and that was late. She is now working without being paid, caught up in the I need the job and I need paid.
How do service owners get away with this? I wonder if contacting the contracted hospital would get her attention since multiple emails from multiple MTs are ignored, voice mails unanswered.
People wonder what happened to transcription? People like Philis Kortland happened to transcription.
What recourse does an MT truly have other than to quit? NONE.
Service Pack 3
I tried to download it on my computer and it messed up my computer, I had to call Dell and try to fix things. I ended up doing a systems restore and thank goodness everything was fine after that. I am not trying to downloaded it again!
Service Pack 3
My gosh i installed this and my network went down and couldnt even get online on my main computer. Had to uninstall and then everything worked fine.
How many of you actually work for more than one service
and would you recommend doing so to others? I am very seriously considering working for two separate MTSOs PT. One would be day shift and the other evenings. I am wondering if others do this and find that they have better paychecks than when working for one MTSO full-time.
It is the service's right not to employ PT
employees. My employer does not as they have to pay licensing fees for programs, and do not feel the fee is worth it for PT employees.
