I applied with them and do hope to hear from them.
Re: Nicholas Transciption

The owner is wonderful.  They have great accounts.  You are not in a pool.  You get your own dictators.  The pay is on time.  The support is great.  Overall, a wonderful company.


Nicholas Transcription??
Does anyone know anything about this company? They have an ad for an Editor, but would like any positive/negative info before applying. Thanks!
Nicholas Transcription - SM
I did the test on Sunday. There were a few blanks which I thought were rather difficult but overall I thought that I did pretty well. I still have not heard from them. I have been a MT for over 11 years. Is it possible that I did that poorly or does it take a while for a response? Thanks for any help.

Hello,


Did you test with them yet?? I was contemplating taking the test, but do not know much about them. 


Thanks,

Nicholas Test

Yes, I did.  I was not a difficult test, basic knowledge of grammar.  The dictations were clear and not too difficult.  One was a little tricky.  I'm thinking if the test was clear, then their sound quality should be to, if I were to work for them. 


I just don't like most of these internet based platforms for the simple reason of the sound quality - the handful I've worked on can't be slowed down or tweaked.  ExText could but not the rest.  You can email me privately if you want.

Does anyone work for or know anything about Nicholas Transcription Company?  I checked the archives, but nothing since 2004.

Any current information on this company?
Nicholas Transcription

This company does not use a platform. You work with templates in MS Word. It is impossible to crash a computer using a template. Templates do not break hardware. If you were unhappy with the line rate than why agree to work with the company. When you are interviewed with this company it is explained up front what is expected of you and you are given a contract to sign again with what is expected of you in writing. If you can't live up to what is expected then do not sign the contract or agree to work for this company. This company works with each MT and if a problem arises and you can not meet your 24 hour TAT all you have to do is talk to them. They will work with you by extending additional time for you to complete the work, or have it reassigned. In regards to a $2 fee for the direct deposit. That is your choice, it is not required. You can receive a check in the mail, its your choice. If you feel that a company that provides samples, answers their own phone and email, works with each and every MT, requires no line minimun, has plenty of work, allows you to work on the same provider and not pull work from a pool, and allows you to complete your work at your convenience in a 24 hour TAT is a bad company to work for then perhaps its a good thing you are not working for them.  


Anyone with information on Nicholas Transcription in NH? Thank you! (NM)

I always got paid on time at Nicholas..sm
I think there were possibly a couple of times where it was 2-3 days late, but she always let us know what was going on ... she's a nice lady to work for, friendly and flexible.

Biggest drawback for me was pay was only 7 cpl at the time (about 4-5 years ago), and there was slight disorganization due to rapid growth. New tech issues, specs, staff changes, etc. Decent dictators, though, and I liked working there. I left due to the pay.

All that being said, I now have my own MT service, and I personally do not agree with paying ICs when an MTSO gets paid. I consider that a business expense like any other, and I allow for and recoup those costs from the clients accordingly. An MTSO's collection issues/methods should not be the IC's problem, IMO. I believe an IC has the right to expect regular payment for services rendered.

If you can accept the payment arrangement knowing there MIGHT be times you'll have to wait, it's a nice place to work, though.
Nicholas Transcription/not Valentine
My head must have left me...I was wondering about Nicholas Transcription in New Hampshire not about Valentine Transcription.  Anyone heard anything about them or has anyone worked for them.  JMD 
Nicholas Transcription FTP question..

I'm just wondering which File Transfer Protocol they use.  I don't mean to sound like I'm prying, but the last couple I've used I had a problem slowing down the dictation, meaning you could absolutely not slow the voice down, or even adjust it.  It was the way it was.  Now, how in the world can you start a new account without being able to slow down occassionally? 


Anybody else had this problem?  Are they all like this?  I'm on C-phone right now.  Not perfect, but I like it okay.


Playback Software at Nicholas

Gotcha!  Getting my terms straight here   So, I did my research and the software used to 'play' the voice is Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software )DTPS).


The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed.  Are they all like that?


I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at Nicholas.  BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!


Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!


 


 


It doesn't look like you'll get paid by Nicholas
you don't know when you'll get paid.  The others I have no idea.  Just my 2 cents. 
I looked into Nicholas, but I felt that it was too risky
