Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

But I thought all Transcend employees had to work
That doesn't make sense.  I could see that a lot of domestic MTs don't want to work 3rd shift and they need the coverage, but if all employees have to work at least 1 weekend day, there isn't much dictation over here on 3rd shift except for the occasional stats.  It would seem they wouldn't have enough work to keep the overseas MTs going.  I can't see an overseas service staying in business when they're only getting a few stats on each account for a couple hours on the weekend.
They do offshore and I thought the sound
quality of the files was poor.   Pay is average. 
Transcend does not offshore.
There are a lot of companies who do offshore and I understand the frustration, but please check your facts before you post.  Transcend does not and has not ever offshored any of their work. 
MDI does not offshore, Transcend does

I really like MDI .


Does Transcend offshore?

So it's true that Transcend is going to offshore.
Otherwise she would have denied it, right?
keystrokes does not use offshore help, transcend
uses it a lot- one day you have work, the next day its slim pickins' - and you are left holding no paycheck. Transcend is ruthless and cares nothing about its MLS. It is just there for the dollar and you have to slave over a horrible platform, doing more clerical functions to get far less lines. My advice is to run from Transcend - masters of deceit- as fast as you can.
Larry just said that Transcend does offshore.

Transcend Services doesn't offshore....
visit the website at http://www.transcendservices.com
I thought Transcend was third but don't know for sure

I thought this was the Transcend platform
that was supposed to be so great.  
Transcend pays for experience and I thought the
They have quite a few accounts.  They are a large company. 
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm

small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend.  Is this true? 


I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread.  Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.


They offshore work
Some of their people are really nice but they send a lot of work offshore.  They care about the all mighty dollar and not the people that work for them....
He would have fun with the work being sent offshore

If WE are going to be nick picked for commas, semi-colons, etc., then what in the world happens to those reports being sent offshore?  They don't understand English let alone where to place a comma or not to cap a generic drug name.  When then day comes for me to correct offshoring mistakes ---- I will kiss this job good-bye. 


They offshore and u run out of work!!!
You will run out of work as it is with them and when they find offshore to cover the account, you will lose all your work!!!!!!!!!  They are a lying bunch of theives!!!
It is well known they offshore their work.
They do not hide that, just wondered if it went to 100% now. 
Companies that do not offshore work

Are there any companies that pay a good line rate and are good to there MTs that do not offshore there work?  I am trying to help a friend looking for part time work, but she is staying clear of those that offshore..


Any help would be appreciated.


They offshore. That's where all the easy work goes.
All that's left for U.S. MTs is ESL and difficult dictations.
They still offshore. I work for a better company
and they don't offshore.  
does not send work offshore
MedScript Services in Florida
the offshore work - BTDT -

Does OSI send work offshore?

If so I won't bother.  TIA


THey offshore the good work. nm
 
It if offshore work. You'd be better off working
at Wal-Mart. 
She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
Never have and never will.  The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will. 
OSI does send offshore work
nm
Yes. I will not work for companies which offshore.
If we all did that, the companies would have no choice but to come back and give us our jobs back.
They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.
Do they send work offshore?
Just wondering.
Not much. They offshore, too. You'll get all the crap work.

Work for a company that doesn't offshore

Quit Precyse. Work for someone who does not offshore. nm
.
Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm
.
I don't work there, but I thought
your summary sounded quite realistic.

I don't work for his company, but if he really wants to buy up companies, he could save a lot of time by just buying one - MedQuist. Then he could leave the good companies alone, LOL.
TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
 
time to work offshore hours and grab
all you can away from the 'partners,' eh?
Work for a company that does not offshore. Save our jobs.

I was offered a position editing offshore work that

was also Surprisingly good.   I knew without being told that the work was being done offshore as it was not that good. 


If I were to go to India, or any other non-English speaking company I would not be able to do the work either, but then I'm not trying to compete with native MTs.  If I say I have a first rate product, then I need to be able to prove it and thus far I haven't seen it. 


Work for a company that doesn't offshore. Support US MTs.

I have talked to too many hospitals that do not care if the work is done offshore. sm
It is hard enough for the public to understand what we do, much less have them stand behind us in this.
Are there any companies left who don't send work offshore?
?
No need to look. Sending 90% of the work offshore has put money in the bank for me. sm
It has lowered my stress level. I work half the hours I used to. Unfortunately for those of you that have your heads in the sand, there are options for companies now that do not include putting up with what we had to for years from MT's. My accounts are happy because the turnaround times are better than ever and the quality is about the same. The offshore companies have improved greatly in the past 10 years and the quality for some of them is the same or better than some in-house departments. Even my customers are amazed when they realize this.

I tell my customers that the work is being done offshore and guess what? THEY DO NOT CARE! They just want it done fast, done right and at a lower cost. They are happy and refer us to other hospitals who also DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS BEING SENT OFFSHORE.

You are fooling yourselves if you think hospitals will not use a service if they send work overseas.

I just wish I had done this 10 years ago instead of 3.

If you think I can't sleep at night, you're wrong. Quite the opposite. I don't feel bad about sending work out of the country because I am now providing money to someone who might otherwise starve.

As Americans, we do not know what it is like to truly be hungry or need shelter. If we did, we might appreciate what we have a lot more. I certainly do now and to be honest, I am happy not to have to listen to every whine and ailment of transcriptionists and excuses all day long. I KNOW the work is getting done.
They only offshore if the client wants it. Most accounts do not want their work offshored. NM

Doesn't it bother you that they send work offshore? nm
nm
I get it now. I thought you were subbing out all your work, and thus just getting like 2 to 3 cpl

profit to run your company!  I get it now!!  I wasn't looking at it from the perspective of you transcribing it, too, which makes a lot more sense! Thanks for explaining!


I thought you didn't work for MQ????????

MQ is not for the transcriptionist.


MQ is for the company.


I wouldn't get any work done, but the thought of sm
of a food pedal is great..... Hmm, could make a ton of money.....Where's that patent list???? LOL!!! Nice to have fun on this board once in a while.
