I am just looking for something to do in the evening and weekends. I am going to the job during the week daytime hours. I miss transcribing as it is not transcribing. Thanks for your concern. But, yes this job I am working at during the day is a breath of fresh air compared to trying to sort through transcription companies, trying to figure out how they pay, by the character, by the 65 character count line or gross lines. I really am enjoying the people the place too. I would recommend trying an out of the house job for everyone on this board that can!

If you can transcribe 175 lph, that is 14 bucks an hour. I wouldn't call that chump change. sm
Working for minimum, or barely above minimum flipping burgers or cashiering at WalMart is chump change in my opinion.
RE: I've been with Transform for 2 months and so far, so good. Nice people to work with, (sm)
pay is on time, direct deposit, etc.
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but

Great place - ExText is easy to learn and user friendly. Good pay. Nice, COMPETENT people.

I wish people wouldn't be so encouraging. Then maybe we wouldn't constantly run

Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm

Wouldn’t it be nice...
...my company the QA department attacks you verbally if you use the MT Help email line we have set up. YOu had better exhaust EVERY possible avenue before you ask a question or send a report to QA (who will then go on to QA your entire report although it is marked FIB and has been your account for years just trying to find any little thing wrong). Getting paid 8 cents a line for the last 8 years. No benefits. No overtime pay. You want more money you have to type more lines. This is why I am finishing my bachelor's degree to get out of this field. Small rural community. Only other options are national companies. Some days I spend more time trying to find doctors and spellings of medicines/disease than I do typing...tired of it...
Yep, wouldn't it be nice to have a
special jail with cells for Madoff, the MQ gang and anyone else who sells out American workers. I do believe in karma. I also believe that when it appears to be taking longer to hit, it will harder when it finally does arrive. Those who are skating along so prettily now might not always have it so easy.
ahhhhh, wouldn't that be nice? sm
I have resigned to the fact that my hard work is padding somebody else's pockets. I, like everyone else in this industry, wish things were different, or at the very least like they were 10 years ago. Right now I'm just happy to have a job that I make a decent living at. For the record, I am NOT management.
Doesn't matter how nice they are, I wouldn't work

They were very nice, used ExText, supplied the CPU, but wouldn't confirm a

You obviously have the time or you wouldn't be here but would be working.
You found the time to post a rude followup when it wasn't needed at all.
How nice there are 2 of you working
Its harder to manage when you're the only one, and you are already working as hard at your 1 job as you physically can.
I wouldn't say that Keystrokes would be overbooked...I think people are asking
questions before they even have talked to the company about openings...but I recommend Keystrokes, although I have no idea about the other company so I am biased...
I would just say, 'It's been nice working for you, -
you're a great company', etc. etc., 'but I've found something better so it's time to move on.'
Oh, Transtech wouldn't be able to bring all those people into the office
IF they weren't paying us MT's one-half or more for doing ASR work. It's P:USH, PUSH, PUSH to do ASR.
Why do you think they want so much ASR -- money in their pockets -- definitely not in the MT's pockets.
I am not a recruiter and I do not get paid to say nice things. I just like working for sm
them. Is that so wrong? I have a lot of work, I like my account, I get paid well and on time. That's 4 for 4 in my book. I have not found that anywhere else.
Their ads do not say 9 cpl for everyone; they list a range.
The equipment is not ancient. I have an internet count.
Why do so many come on here to b**** and moan and tell half truths. Unless you experienced it yourself or know facts, why spread things?
For nice people.....:)
Hey, I'm nice. Can I post?
Hmmm.....what made me happy today? Bf sent flowers; that did it! LOL
Thanks for starting this post, nice to see a good one once in awhile. :)
Nice people ????
I worked at FN for a year and found the people there (with the exception of a couple) to be very difficult and not really caring about their workers whatsoever. I got tired of the ESLs, the people there, and running out of work...so I found another job. I suggest you do the same...you'll be much happier!
Very nice people
I couldn't disagree more with Olive Oyl. I've worked there almost a year myself, and I find everyone to be very nice. I don't get the feeling at all that they do not care about my well being!
Really nice people
I have worked there in the past, and the administrative staff/owner are reallyk nice, understandable, and easy to work with. I would recommend them.
Nice People
From what I remember this Tracey had a conflict with the operating system on her laptop and there were problems with initial installation but her overall experience with GIS ended up pretty good. I think she had to leave because she could not afford to continue her training as she had just graduated MT school. The people at GIS are awesome to work for. I have been there a little more than 2 years and I love it. There are no bipolar supervisors. I think I know who made that post and she was given a one in a lifetime opportunity to slide into management and she failed miserably. Don't know why she blames it on GIS.
Really nice people there,
but it is the only company I have ever quit on the spot with no notice. They had me completely at my wits' end. They didn't have enough work on the accounts they gave me so they kept switching me around - I think I had 4 different accounts in about a week and a half. Because there was no training pay, I couldn't keep putting in all that time learning new stuff. I wouldn't have been able to pay my bills. The people there are really nice though.
Very nice people....sm
I did general transcription for them briefly, I loved it, the sound quality was awesome!!!!!!!, but I could not handle it with working my full time employee position. It was just too much for me. They paid me on time, but for general transcription, the pay for general transcription may be low for some, but I was only doing this for extra money part time....
This is too bad! Why would such nice people
go through this? Every Christmas they would have a party for us, and they would never forget us! I left for personal reasons, just to take some time off and be with my children. I hoped to go back b/c I thought they were so family oriented. I hope that things turn around for everyone there.
Nice to see people who like where they
work and what they do. Question for all you TTers out there. I looked at their web site and they say they want 5 years of experience. Do you know if they'll consider people with 2 years? thanks for your input.
For nice people only no bashers
This is a peaceful message.
Post here only if you have something nice to say.
Ugly messages not allowed!
Worked for them, nice people, low pay. nm

Nice people, but I was switched from
account to account because they ran out work. I also agree with Regina about the non-stop e-mails, etc.--too much distraction during the work day. They pay on time as agreed, but not too much. I'd say keep looking.
Nice people, but the pay scale is quite
complicated and very low. You can only get the top line rate if you're a CMT and trained on multiple accounts. They do send you a computer, but they don't charge for it. The most telling thing is that my former supervisor left shortly after I did. I say keep looking.
Be nice, people - it's Friday
      
Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO. QA is very helpful and always encouraging. I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake. The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center. I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work.
Nice people at Amphion, but there
were workflow issues and the pay is rather low. I gave it half a year, but I had to move on. There was also an issue with having to fill in demographics, which burned a lot of time.
yeh, forget it if the people are nice.
Yes, Precyse provides everything, very nice people there.

I like Phoenix, very nice people there sm
If you are okay with being IC, give them a try.
What did you want to know? Nice bunch of people. nm
nm
I am one of those nice helpful people (sm)
who work there but am just a worker bee...ain't management and don't ever wanna be management. I'd love to know what the lie was, just 'cause curiosity killed the Hayseed 
Nice people at Spheris
You are so right; however, with horrible unitelligible dictators and lousy sound quality, I could not make a living there. Also, too many inconsistencies and subjective QA-ing. When the dictator says duh x-ray, and you type the and get counted off because QA thnks it should be an or ptient's x-ray that gets under one's skin in a hurry.
They are nice. If you do something wrong, they tell you. That is their job, isn't? You people.
nm
Nice people but be aware....sm
they do not pay for spaces, even if they tell you they do. You need to definitely get this is writing (the spaces part). You will find your check short about 20% and you won't get the money either. Bad experience for me. Most people probably don't check their line counts. Maybe this has changed but I know others had this problem too (old posts here). Good luck.
Nice people, pay on the low side
I worked for them about 3 years ago. The managers were all very nice. They have an odd payscale which is based on your expereince, production and how much work your send to QA. And I thought the pay was a little low.
Hope I helped.

They are not nice people to deal with and
only a few of the chosen can get away with even making suggestions. The rest of us are called unhappy and just told to find another job. This starts at the top and falls all the way down the ladder in management. No one cares about you, you are just a number and you are not as important to them as the Indians. Their efforts to try to retain good MTs is just a facade, there is no truth to it. They would rather we all just left.
Great for some maybe....but they are nice people...nm
xxxxx
The Amphion people are nice but
I got laid off after months of no work. This was back in January, I think. Because of the lack of work, I kept bouncing back and forth from different accounts, had to use EditScript (ASR) and couldn't make my lines. They did me a favor by laying me off. It was not a good fit for me and I went back to my old job, making 9 cpl; however, that job is transitioning to EditScript as of June 1st. Just can't win, I guess.
AMEN! Very nice people and they sm
WILL work with you, but they do tell you anything to get you into something then you find out it is a bunch of bull.
Nice doesn't cut a paycheck!
Nice people, but they need a major upgrade.
:(
totally agree - nice people though -nm
nm
Very happy with PS. Extremely nice people. sm
Their platform is fully over internet. It has a few bugs, but they are working these out all the time. These are just plain nice people running that place. I really have enjoyed them and am so happy to have shed the stress of the uncertainty with MedQuist. Proscript does not offshore, either.
The big thing I like about Proscript is that they all work together pleasantly. With MQ, we are left out there alone without the tools to do a good job. With Proscript I actually feel I am part of an organization that is genuinely dedicated to doing a good job - and provides the tools and the feedback to do that. I like the QA people, too. They provide good feedback done in a diplomatic way - and they know we are all just human, which helps.
