Actually, it's Kelley, not Kelly
..
I'm not Kelly, but I e-mailed you

Hope you don't mind - I have some TT questions or just some ramblings about MQ...


 


 


Kelly, which account are you applying for??
If you are applying for ortho using Emdat.  There is LOTS of work.  Im not sure what account the person who talks about cherrypicking works on, but there has been tons of work lately.  Again, not sure what account she is talking about with the bad dictators because ALL of the ortho emdat docs are pretty darn easy compared to other nationals.  The pay isn't the greatest, but I would rather type easier accounts for less pay then ESLs for 1-2 cpl more.  I really enjoy working for them.  Hope this helps!!
The owner of TTS is Linda Kelly

To Kelly who sent me an e-mail about TransTech

I have been at Transtech for about a year and a half and I can honestly say that it is the best job I have had in this industry.  Since I worked on Extext in the past the only thing I had to learn were dictators - not bad at all, and account specifics which were very easy, only a couple pages long, very concise and easy to understand.  My account specifics at MedQuist were so long and confusing and full of redundant things. Don't worry about learning new things, it is so worth it especially since you have some Extext experience. It will come back to you because it is such an easy platform to use.  Management has been great.  My little boy has a birth defect and sometimes I have disrupted and crazy days but they are very understanding.


Go for it, Kelly, I promise you will agree that it is worth the effort!!


Kelly, try posting your question with the
Names of the companies in the Subject line, that way people will know without opening your message what type of information you are looking for. Then only people who know anything about those companies will respond.

There are archives that you can check, too, to find past comments and discussions.

I'm sorry I can't help you with your actual question (MD-IT or Meridian), but hopefully this information will help you get the information you do need.

Good luck (and don't let the trolls get you down! ;-)
Anybody working for Kelly Co. Transcription out of Missouri??
She had an ad on Job Seeker's board for a cardiology MT....
lol, no I am not referring to Kelly Temp Services....

I know who you are referring to...the temporary employment agency co.  The Kelly Co. I am referring to is a small MTSO in MO.


Kelly is a temporary service company that's been around for years. sm
You may not be old enough to remember Kelly girls.  They used to be strictly secretarial, but do all branches of temporary work and job placement now.  It may be a temp or temp-to-hire position through them, or then I could be totally wrong.   
Run as fast as you can,
I'm supprised she is still using the same name, she's been known to change names in the past. 
RUN as fast as you can the other way
the person you mentioned is the biggest phony, lazy, bs artist, hard work, low pay
RUN I TELL YOU
abusive once you are there a while
Run as fast as you can....
I used to work for them though not on the radiology account. I knew two girls that did work on the radiology account and they hated it, but she had no one else to work. So they had to work horrible hours and the CEO was constantly pestering them to work more (they both have since left). Their line counting program counts short too. I had to work 12 hour days when i did work there just to make any money. They play favorites with the MTs, the office staff treats you like crap when you do need something, you will never make more than what you are hired in at and the list goes on.
RUN AWAY FAST!
This is probably one of the worst MT companies out there. I made the huge mistake of working for them just over a year ago and ended up quitting after only a month. You won't be dealing with anyone except people in India. You can't understand a word they say and they constantly will harass you through Yahoo IM asking when you are going to work and why you are not working, but when you needed to IM them for tech support, they would take forever to answer, if they even answered at all. My experience was that they are very, very rude to their MTs and all of their QA and account managers are in India. I was scoring at least 98% on all of my QAs, but they kept telling me that I needed to improve. There are much, much better companies to chose from. I would stay far, far away from this one. I ran and never looked back.
run away fast
run far far away from SoftScript as fast as you possibly can! Its true you can't believe everything you read here, but trust me when i say everything said about them is the truth!
RUN FAST!!!! sm

Late payer...and will lie and say she sent the money and didn't.  You can tell by the postmark when you finally do get your check.  Also, there is a line count discrepancy.


Save yourself the trouble.


Act fast
Terri Davis is in the process of selling off her accounts and is screwing both companies buying AND the MTs, due to her psyhopath ways.

Act fast on your legal action. MTs and Editors get the heck out now before she cons you into unemployment.

she is truly a sick and evil person who will stop at nothing to look like the intelligent person she is not.

BTW... Shelly (I won't put her last name, but you will know who I mean), is Terri's COUSIN, by no way a REAL MT.
This is truly a run far and fast
Worked for them for 2 weeks in March--haven't yet and will never see a penny of the $150+ they still owe me.  I gave up asking.  Don't believe their ad that they offer MTs a great whatever--blah, blah.  A word comes to mind: ruthless.  Just my input.
i'd run far and fast
I have had 2 friends work briefly for this company.. both promised one thing and received something totally different that was not acceptable at all.
How did you get off QA so fast?
//
Not so fast
There is a difference between OSi or MQ, or some other MTSO willingly offshoring and a hospital/client moving offshore for financial reasons.  Not all these moves are controlled by any company or management, they are controlled by the clients.  Some hospitals will request offshore for financial reasons, others forbid it.  To say that OSI offshores big time makes it look like they did it. . . this is inaccurate..
Not fast enough
Hear ya! I thought it was just me. Type 120 wpm use all my expanders, burn my brain, and can get nowhere near $25 an hour. I would imagine anybody who is getting $25 is possibly blessed with an account from heaven? Not so here. Have a nice weekend!
RUN AWAY!! As fast as you can!
They are the most unhappy bunch of people I've ever met or worked for. I lasted 2 months and it felt like two years!
Run away, very far, very fast. sm
Do a search on the board. Mostly bad stuff.

You can do better.
Run. Run as fast as you can.

Me either-Run away as fast as you can-NM

PLEASE RUN AWAY FAST...SM
sent you an email.
Run away, fast!
I had the extreme displeasure of working for this company a few years ago when they bought out Cymed back in the summer of 2006. They offshore all of their work, treat their MTs like second-class citizens, and I was almost always running out of work. My pay checks were always getting screwed up and I could never get in touch with anyone in the office and, when I finally did, they were usually very rude and ignorant. Like I said, I haven't been there in almost 3 years, but I have heard that they are even worse now. I have been with the same company since I left SPi and I am a million times happier!
Run away, fast!!!
This company is horrible. I worked for Cymed until they were sold to SPi. I left there in February 2007 and never looked back. They treat their MTs like second-class citizens and they were constantly running out of work because they offshore so heavily. Management was constantly changing and my paychecks were screwed up often. This is the LAST place you want to work, trust me!
I should have said .09/,04..too fast...
.09 for straight/.04 for VR but 80% is VR and 20% is straight typing.
Run FAST
Synernet is a horrid company. Pay is low.. 7 cpl for NO spaces on 55 line... they claim it equals standard pay. . NOT NOT NOT

Julie is a horrid trainer.. puts you on hold all the time, gets mad if you call her with a question. Does not teach you all the applications to the platform then gets pissy if you have not figured it out on your own along with everything else.

Lines are not abundantly produced, hard to get 150 lines an hour, let alone industry standard of 200 lines an hour.

RUN FAST... RUN FAR
Pulling a fast one?

What is up with these employers opting to not give their email addresses or company info when you want to apply for a job with them on this site? Makes me a little suspicious.


RUN FROM AMHERST AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

Fast Chart..sm
I am going to test with them. Does anyone have any feedback about Fast Chart? Can one advance up the pay levels quickly, or are you stuck at the horrendously low starting rates? The information they have sent is pretty confusing.
That should be "too fast" - see...
that's one of the mistakes a VR program can make very easily (although it was my too fast hands that made it)!
This job is going down the toilet fast
with the greedy MTSO's, the needless QA nitpicking, the voice recognition, the work that is left being shipped overseas to be done by people who will work for peanuts.

I see the writing on the wall and will put all my eggs in one basket no longer. Back to college for me!

I don't want to be standing in the umemployment line holding a Burger King application when the bottom finally does completely fall out of this soon to be nonexistent profession.

If anyone refuses to accept the fact that this is the end of this job and it's time to start planning accordingly, that's up to them and I wish them the very best of luck.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes, on the average, to start making 9cpl with Fast Chart? I just received their pay scale chart and it seems like one has to do an anwful lot of typing just to get up to 9 cpl. Is their platform user-friendly? Thanks for any info you can give me.
fast chart
They start you off at 6 cpl at Level 1 and move you up a level according to your cumulative lines from Day 1 and accurately typing all reports. From the best I can tell their top pay is 9 cpl on all shifts, which is Level 8.
Fast Chart
Anyone working for them currently? Are they a good company? Are QA staff personable and friendly? Do they pay well? TIA.
Thanks everyone. I am running away fast.

Fast Chart
I'm sorry if this has been posted before.  I couldn't find info.  Any info on whether Fast Chart is any good?  I submitted a resume but want to know, if I hear from them, if I should take the time to test.  Transform too.  Anybody heard of them?
To fast fingers ....

Your post on Unlimited LD was way at the bottom so I figured I would post a new thread ...


I am unsure on who else there is that has Unlimited LD services that are indeed unlimited.  With AT&T and MCI, they have a hidden clause that states it is NOT unlimited and that you have to get a biz line, yada yada yada, which costs hundreds of dollars. 


So my suggestion is if you dont feel comfortable with going through Vonage, then maybe check with your cable/dsl companies that offer VOIP ( voice over IP) that gives you LD services .... OH wait, Go to best buy, they have VOIP adapters through diff companies! I totally forgot about that


 


Fast Chart
I started 2 weeks ago with Fast Chart and have given my 2-weeks notice.  My computer does not like the software and have had problems since starting with different problems daily getting logged on and with the software not saving autotext. Sometimes have ran out of work in the past 2 weeks.  Made a whopping 240 bucks the last pay period so I said see ya.  Starting a new job tomorrow which is better pay. I'd think twice about this company.
fast chart
thanks for the reply.  I have been looking for over a month and really am not sure which way to go.  I am currently employed but am searching for better pay and flexibility and the hopes of steady work.  Too much to ask for?? 
I would hightail it out of there as fast sm
as I could go. All reports should be counted in my books. I wouldn't stay on those terms.
Fast Chart
I worked there 2-1/2 weeks and got paid squat, which is why I quit and work for another company now which I love so far. Worked on 4 accounts and couldn't make a thing.
RUN FAST away from these jokers!!! sm
I have almost 15 years experience and they only paid me 0.85 a line.  Out of the 3 months I was there their pay was late over 4 times in a row - at Christmas to beat it all!  And the supervisors bothered you every 5 minutes chit-chatting on IM bringing production down.  Plus they were the most offensive people I have ever worked for.  They had an EXCELLENT hospital account that I was on but lost it due to their unprofessionalism and I am talking it was a MAJOR account - a great account!  They did pay for all of the overdraft fees for the VERY LATE direct deposits.  But to avoid future headaches, run fast away from them!
Fast Chart
Worked there for 3 weeks and quit. Low pay for one thing and software was horrible to type in for another.
Fast Chart
Thanks so much. Thank goodness for this board.
