Getting discouraged. The work is fine, there is plenty of it. I am on a large teaching hospital. I am not having any trouble with the work, although lots of ESLs. I have been doing this for over 20 years, so no problem with the work at all. There is static on the line, tho. What is the problem is the platform. If you hit one thing wrong, everything goes haywire. Trying to get the report back ? Forget it. I am not a fan of Beyond TXT. I would like to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Does anybody out there have anything good to say about this platform and how long to get used to it.

I have been with Transcend a week
am have decided I will probably quit, not because of the QA, but becauae their Beyond TXT is terrible, terrible, terrible. Just when I think I am getting the hang of it, I have problems. I work on weekends, good luck getting anybody to help. The IT is a joke, you have to E mail them and they take a while to get back to you, hours, sometimes days.
ARE THERE ANY DECENT MT COMPANIES TO WORK FOR OUT THERE?
So do you think it was Transcend management on here last week?
I'm just saying that we have to agree to disagree. The mud slinging that goes on here has nothing to do with the companies but more to prove one's opinion/experience with these companies. I agree that we need to have an informed place about these companies but we cannot get mad if we do not have the same opinions.
Transcend running their ads when there has hardly been work this past week.
If your flexible this is the job for you. Feast or famine. Yet, we need to hire more help. How about giving the ones who sit all day waiting to work..some work..
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm
nm
We heard Transcend is buying Keystrokes next. I'm not working for Transcend. No Way !
nm
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
then doesn't that make MDI a company that offshores? That's like saying that one branch of a company offshores but another does not, so they are excluded from the offshore label. If MDI-FL is part of Transcend and Transcend offshores, that means that they do.
RE: If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
Your hypothesis is incorrect. MDI is a wholly independent subsidary of Transcend, therefore, they were not a part of the experiment to offshore to evaluate cost/benefit ratio that Transcend only tried for 90 days (I believe the evaluation process is not still ongoing).
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
It is not Transcend. Transcend has not had control of
the accounts long enough to make any changes to anything. Maybe your account just slowed down like a lot of others did over the last few weeks. Everything will run status quo for a few months before any major changes are implemented. And give Transcend a chance. It is a good place to work and you will finally have some benefits that you will enjoy.
MQ--week end pay
i think the NE is the only region that does not pay for week end and holiday pay. the Ohio office offers not only week end and holiday pay, but also shift differntial pay--and this is all without asking plus the MT's that were transferred there are getting all the lines they need and to top that off, they are in ONE acct, not like 4 or 5 in the NE
that is why it is a great office to be working with--
First week on DQS.. Please tell me it gets better. (sm)
It was only for half the payperiod, but WOW. When I finally did a count to see how much I had done it was a real surprise. I know I still have to look up instructions now and again and need to keep building my shortcuts, hope to heck I don't go bankrupt before I get it down to an art.
How long did it take the rest of you to get up to speed?
About a week or two
I actually cannot remember but I think it was a week or two.....
This is the end of my first week
All kinds of problems, very discouraged, tech problems.
last week....
they stopped taking aps/resumes because they had a lot (mtjobs). now they are hiring again. i went ahead and applied but makes me wonder what they are really looking for because of the notice they had about not taking anymore, and then all of a sudden they are.
But they say they pay once a week.
Dont they?
More week this week than last week, which
suprised me. I thought maybe some practices would have scaled back for Spring Break/Easter, but if they have, several MTs must have taken off too as we are nearly out of TAT and I have been doing an extra 600 lines a day.
MT week
MT week is May 14-20
mt week
you can see what the MTs at Heartland got for Transcriptionist week!!
Like they would have done anything for us for MT week anyway. lol nm

MT Week
WebMedX sent candyjar filled with chocolate kisses and midge tootie rolls. Quite cute!
What did you do for your MTs for MT Week?
?
Me 2 - per week,not every 2
nm
800$ week??
Man, tell me which company I can make that much and I'll apply ASAP!!!! YEA RIGHT!!!!!
About a week
The offer letter was faxed the next day, as were initial startup paperwork. The foot pedal arrived in 2 days, I think. The software was installed by their IT department the next day. All in all, I think it only took about a week.
Welcome to Keystrokes!
About a week
I received the job offer, had to fill out/sign and fax back all of the paperwork that they e-mailed me, and then I had to wait for them to ship me my equipment. The whole process took a week, and then I started.
I'm going into my 3rd week
I like it.. some things are not the most convenient, but every company has quirks. I am not ready to go postal, so that is a good thing. :) We will wait and see what the paycheck looks like.
About a week but it took about
two weeks to get equipment, ID from hospital and then another week before training began. But everyone has different experiences. Good luck!
Also a week here
They contacted me the same day that I sent in my resume, and it took a week from that day to start.
It's the 3rd week in May
xx
MT week
MDI/Transcend sent us all coffee mugs, thank you cards and a calendar, not to mention online Happy MT week
3 DAY WEEK
I bet if you offered to work Friday, Sat and Sun or Sat, Sun and Monday for 12 hour shifts, someone would allow you to work 3 days a week. Don't know of any offering 3 days say like Tues, Wed, Thurs or anything.
Took me about a week
I knew the platform and studied the specs before I began, so I was all set to go when I started. Familiarizing the different docs and places seemed to be my problem.
Don't you mean 12-hr 3 day per week? sm
I think those are higher paid positions for weekend coverage.
Been there less than a week and doing
800+ lines. I use a C-phone and work in Word.
They have lots of accounts with different platforms. I suggest you call Lee and talk with her. Maybe she can move you to a different account.
Took me about a week to get off TT QA
They don't assign 1 QA to a new MT. I heard from at least 3 or 4 different QA people, maybe more. In my previous jobs I was assigned only 1 person who worked with me. It made it a lot more personal and I didn't get different opinions about the same thing. Like I said it took about a week at TT and I'm fairly new but I don't hear from anybody anymore. They do basically leave you alone to work which is good but they aren't that great in the communicating department.
Where is TT MT who was saying last week that TT

MT Week
Does your company give you anything for MT week? If so, what?
HAPPY MEDICAL Transcriptionist WEEK
Need a PT job this week
I am having elective surgery soon, a minor procedure but I need a PT job to help with my deductible. My company is very low on work these days. Please email me if you like. 
They pay every other week and.... sm
you initially have to get a regular paycheck in the mail. If you want it fast via overnight you have to pay $25 for it. After 3 months of paychecks over $500, then you can sign up for direct deposit.
week-end????
sorry, not trying to be mean, but I really would have a hard time hiring someone who tested like that also. If they are not going to pay attention or think things like that are important on tests, what will they do when they are on their own? Punctuation is a big part of it and more companies should be more particular because MTs should know how to produce quality.
What do you do if, at the end of the week sm
or end of the day you are short on lines because of an out of work situation or if you had an unexpected emergency (power or cable outage, etc.) that prevented you from making your goal lines/hours?
Sorry, what I mean is the $900 for one week...sm
or two weeks, so 40 hours or 80 hours? And no line requirement? Thanks.
I think 70-something per PP (every other week) sm
Highmark BC/BS, not bad. With dental and vision, the total is around $87 per pay period (off the top of my head).
