ADT feed never worked for me and had to toggle between too

Demo screens
For starters, there is way too much information you have to put into the demographics field, which slows you down considerably.  Another thing is over 25 pages worth of account specifics that are you HAVE to memorize all while having to learn another account, which has over 16 pages of account specifics to memorize.  A lot of the things you have to put in the demo screen could be taken care of on the other side.  Such as having to put allegies in comment sections in the demo screen that is already put in the actual document.  Just a bunch of truly nitpicky things that will drive you mad! I hope this helped.
Platform I was on had to flip thru many screens for
q
Exactly...too much flipping back and forth through screens, schedules, faxes....
and for what? A 10-line note about somebodies out of control diabetes or hypertension. It takes longer to fill in the DI screen than to type the note. I stayed for about 9 months because of the easy dictators, but found it was dulling my acute care skills so I left. I asked to change accounts, the answer was, no. I am MUCH happier where I am now.
I didn't try again, but once you got a few screens in, it asked for a $25 fee to your charge card

Platform bad, toggling between multiple screens, never got feedback

They can't afford to bother you. You are too busy toggling between numerous screens in
l
I much prefer Bayscribe. No messing around with multiple screens, doc lookup right there, etc.
It's very convenient to use. ExText seemed much bulkier and much slower to me.
If it's Apex, steer clear. I was on it with another company. It eats reports. Too many screens. s
The spellchecker doesn't work and it was REALLY hard to get a decent line count with it. It's also not compatible with too many expanders.
They might dock your pay for errors. I'd ask if interviewing. nm
s
I know someone only getting 7 cpl for experience here, and I think they dock you for errors, but
s
They dock you for mistakes that are not there or even if you go by AAMT BOS
No matter what, they dock you. When they cannot find mistakes in your work, they make them up. Late paycheck. I would make more money panhandling! System goes down...
They do not dock for errors. NEVER been cheated out of $$!!!!!
nm
also dock your pay for not meeting QA standards..nm
xx
It's one unit now and they no longer dock for errors. NM
x
Yeah they dock you a days pay if they want to. not fair.
:(
Do they still dock for errors and how much? I will never work for a company that does that.
Not because I do not strive for high quality but that errors can be subjective. QA says it should be this way and docks me but maybe another QA would agree with me. So, who is right? That kind of thing. Nope not for me. I also wonder how much these companies end up cheating you out of money because they get the same price by the client, just they have docked your pay, thus more in their pocket. Whose to say they are not picky on purpose.
Do they still dock pay for slightly lower than normal

expected QA scores, and use stars and apples as QA scores or do they come in real numbers now?


Alt T then Alt W while in a document. sm
This gives you characters, including spaces; add together and divide by 65 for # of lines. I put this # on my log. I can then double check with session statistics at the end of the day if I want.

Glad you like it!
Friend works there and says pay is often late. They may dock for errors, too. Need to ask. nm

AB Document Services???
Does anybody have any info about this company out of Arizona????
P.S. Make sure you document everything.

AB Document Services?

Does anybody have any current information on this company that is in Arizona (work load, etc.)?


TIA!


If you're in a VR document, even if it's
so bad that you have to retype entire paragraphs, it's still considered VR -- if that's what you're asking. When people refer to switching between VR and straight typing, they are referring to entire reports, some of which you type from scratch and some of which you deal with what VR has vomited out. Good luck to you.

They used to dock for errors and late payment was an issue. Don't know about recently. nm

same lines as word document
The only thing you dont get paid for is the ADT screen, which takes me about 2 seconds to hit the search, date and cc. I really dont care about not getting paid for ADT because it doesn't take any time at all to do this. The document itself always comes out the same line count as word. I think the benefit for this program outweighs not getting paid for ADT at least for me. I also have 2 IC accounts on the side. Their programs are time consuming in figuring out codes, and then saving and sending it in a different format... plus dr. lists manual insert. Another thing on one account you have to email the person every time to get more work so it doesnt flow like DQS. So I think DQS is the most user friendly program I've used. When you copy and paste DQS to word its always been exactly the same lines for me and also the red headings you are paid for.
If I figured on the same document why would this matter?

Mine post soon as document is sent
The longest delay I've ever had was about 30 seconds.
Isn't it against the law for a company to ask you NOT to document your OT hours?
That alone would be a huge red flag for me.  They want you to work OT, but not document it on your timesheet!  That smells fishy! 
doing only a 'spell check' on a VR document
without reading and correcting the whole document, line by line, will NEVER work!
Now I understand! That's the way the editing MTs do it when getting the high line count?
Wow!
On second thought, maybe I should try it out!!!
try transriptiongear.com's tech support. They do gearplayer tech support whereever you bought yo

Old posts say they dock lines if the client is unhappy and starting pay is very low for 1200 lpd. nm

You are supposed to document discrepancies in a QA note...
of course, doing so will take you over your 15% max of QA referrals, but what the hey...
This isn't a medical document, editor. Focus. :)

It appears to do only the document you are in. As I trust my co. to tally for me, I don't know m
about the function. You might be able to write a macro to do that...but I have no idea how to do that.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
mine post immediately as soon as I end the document.

446 lines in 30 minutes? What does your document look like? Same as before your editing?..nm
nm
Think they're Integrated Document Solutions. Someone asked about them last month. nm
s
go to Tools -> Word Count in open document and values will show. nm

I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
Part & Full Time Data Entry & Document Coding Position - Sara McDaniel - HR Administrator
This company has ads on other web sites. You have to pay them $55 to do a background check up front. Guess what? If you don't get hired, they've got your $55. Don't know if it's legit - just posting facts.
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

They don't want the MTs to speak with SM
each other because they might share information on line rate, how easy/hard the accounts are and MOSTLY because they do have favorites who get flexible schedules, high line rate and cake accounts and they don't want groups of people emailing each other and discovering this.
speak for yourself
I have a friend who works there and makes over 75,000 a year.
Speak for yourself
I think you have it backwards. There has never been any mass exodus unless you consider 3-4 people a mass exodus. Actually, those 3-4 people might still be with the company if not for a certain someone who egged them on until they quit. This person herself stayed on for another couple of years trying to stir the pot with complaints about fabricated events. This person finally left a few months ago.

Crap happens, no matter where you are, who you are, or what you do.

Transcend is STILL a good place to work.

Too bad so many people don't have the wherewithall to actually work for a company longer than a few weeks before they come to false conclusions about a place and then quit.
speak for yourself
I have been an MT now for 7-1/2 years and make 50K. Not sure of how many babysitters do that in 40 hours.
I can't speak for everyone, but I like it here
I have a great lead, who is very knowledgeable, kind and even funny at times - and she tries her best to keep things running smoothly, and pleasant. I don't know how the other leads are, but I would at least give them a chance. I've got no complaints.
Did you really speak to him?
I was a one of those MTs who made 3cpl.  If he denies that they pay newbies this amount...he is lying.  If he denies that you have to wait a month or more to be paid...he is lying...unless something has changed.
I can't speak for anybody else,
but as far as these posts go, I use the same initials all the time, so no, I haven't posted multiple times under different names, but I do know of several people who quit this place because of the owners nastiness, and lack of work. Even a QA person quit who was getting paid hourly, in one week she had a total of 6 hours work, nobody can live on that. I was there eight months and they kept promising me work, but it never came. It's landmark and made up of disgruntled ex-MQers.
