Opti-Script versus Northeast Transcription Inc.

In Reply to:

I have interviewed with each place, and have some likes and dislikes about each. Does anybody out there work for either, or know about either that would help me make a decision? I am leaving Spheris and am concerned about jumping from the frying pan into the fire, so anyone out there that knows anything I would certainly appreciate your 2 cents or more!

Thank you all so much for this board, it has helped me a LOT over the very confusing and frustrating few weeks!

TIA!

MDI versus MedScribe versus SoftScript versus Transsolutions versus TransHealth. SM

I'm getting ready to start applying and these are the companies that I'm looking at.  So give me the low-down.  Good, bad, India?


Here are my criteria:


9 cpl or better


Does NOT send work to India


Good accounts with at least 50/50 of ESL versus American dictators


Consistent work flow - no downtime or time spent waiting for work


Upper management should be professional, positive, and encouraging.


Pay for lines WITH spaces.


Is there such a job out there or am I just dreaming?  If there are other companies other than the ones I listed that would fit the bill, please feel free to let me know. I tested with TransHealth and I felt like I tanked.  It was a hard test and I had to use the mouse to stop and start the dictation as it was online test and you couldn't download the voice files.  So that made it a lot more difficult.  One of the dictators was cutting himself off through the report and I had to leave some blanks.  I'm very frustrated with this whole process of looking and testing.  Are all the tests like that?  Or are there companies that allow you download the test files and transcribe them using your pedal and software?  Ugh!  I am just so frustrated and discouraged.


Thanks for any helpf.

Wonder why Northeast Transcription
says residents of California need not apply? That's strange
Northeast Transcription
Anybody work for this company that could provide some info on them?
Northeast Transcription
I would highly recommend this company. I went through their testing process and interview process and was excited to be starting with them. However, they don't have the proper credentials to do business in my state. So instead of just wishing me on my merry way, they have gone above and beyond the call and have passed on my test scores and information to another company they are familiar with. A company that has wonderful staff like Shannon and Terry would be awesome to work for!
Northeast Transcription
Does anyone know anything about Northeast Transcription.  Is their work straight transcription of ASR. Anyone know what platform they use and anything about pay?
Northeast Transcription Inc.
Wondering if anyone could give more information about them. Not a lot on here about them. I just had an interview, and I think I like them, but would like real world experience from people working for them. How is the platform, the expander, are they flexible, easy to get the 1100 lines in an 8 hour day, etc.? Any help either here or to my email would be GREAT!

TYIA!

Editing versus transcription
I do VRE and I love it. I have done it for a couple of different companies, and how much you make will all depend on the work and how much patient info you have to enter. I think 3.75cpl is pretty low though.
GT is general transcription versus MT medical...nm

Northeast (NTI)

I work for Northeast. Great people, great pay for Northeast area, great work and always lots and lots of work -- Pay is ALWAYS on time. NO SCHEDULE. They are very very flexible as long as you let them know in advance of days off. Other than that on a day-to-day basis, they are extremely flexible. Strict but fair and no complaints here! Good luck!


Happy MT


Northeast

I really don't know...all I know is that I have to give them a general idea of what hours I want to work and that is it ....days, nights, how many hours, etc. Very flexible.


They are always getting new clients..perhaps one of them needs to have someone there for certain hours.


Northeast
It was Tennessee
There's another one out there, I think it's Northeast - sm
Transcription, that snottily says something to the effect of, Residents of (?) and California need not apply.
My guess is they prefer applicants from the parts of the country with a lower cost-of-living. Smacks of discrimination, if you ask me.
I worked for Northeast-
No complaints. Had an excellent traning program and excellent dictators. The only reason I quit is I am an IC and like to stay that way-Don't like to be tied to a full-time schedule
I worked for Northeast
for about 7-8 months. Have no complaints. Just didn't like having to stick to a schedule
Northeast Trans and MD-IT sm
Have merged.  Any information in these places? 
Were they located in the Northeast?
who were called Annette and Babette, so that's rather a coincidence.  They ran their own MTSO from their basement located in Northeast tristate area. Blast from the past, for sure!
In the Northeast, yes $20 per hour is possible.
Actually, that is about the going rate around here. I am in the Northeast and in-house pay is anywhere from $18-$25 per hour.

Good Luck!
Any new info about Northeast? Pay? Platform? QA?
Archives are showing no new info since about 2006, was wondering how things were now.   How is the platform?  From archived info I see pay was 7-8 cpl for 70 character line, which I'm not thrilled about but I love Psych so tough decision for me personally.  Any info on QA would be great if anyone knows.  TIA!!
I worked for both Amphion & Northeast
I retired last year. I worked for both very briefly. Northeast was good but I was planning to retire and stayed only a few months for that reason. It was a good company.
I can't say the same thing about Amphion. Maybe people who know the right people or who have been there a long time had better luck but I was on the infamous demographic account where you cannot make any money. If you are happy with the demographics thing and don't mind working for low pay it is a good company to work for but I never could get beyond feeling like I was just wasting time with the demographics. The better accounts that don't require doing that go to the people who have seniority. I stayed with Amphion for a couple of months and had to bow out gracefully. They were nice people though.
Is OSi the same as Opti-Script Inc? nm

Opti-Script. Anybody have any
recent info on them?  Prior posts sound promising, but wanted to hear from some current employees. 
Opti-Script. sm
I recently started there (going on 3rd week) and I am absolutely loving it! I think I finally found my home!! They are great people, good accounts (so far) and good communications! I also love Ex-Text!!! Pay is very comparable to other offers I have received! If you are a CMT, they offer a small increase for that!!
Opti-script
Anybody work for this company?  Thinking of applying.  Good/bad info would be appreciated.  Thanks!!
