In Reply to: LOVE IT!!! Saving over $150/mo! - TTer
I am curious:
1. What is TT?
2. Are they hiring?
3. Do they pay decent cpl rates?
4. Are they flexible as far as work hours?
5. Do they use a platform and if so what platform(s) do they use?
TIA - feel free to email me.

Thought it was a little crackly today, but thought it was my speakers or the weather, what do I know?
I'm not a TTer
I have followed the discussions here about the insurance and I have to say I'm impressed that TT did something about it. Most companies say, sorry, that's the best we could do.
Thank you very much, TTer. nm
:)
Not TTer
How many American MTs does TT have?
Happy TTer here! nm

Where are you? Or another happy TTer?

Question for TTer's
Do they allow you to make up line shortages on your day off? I know some companies do and others don't. Just wondering what their policy is before considering them.
To Happy New TTer
Amen...Say it again really loud....speak the truth and SHAME the Devil.....Agree with you totally.....
You are so right, nuther TTer s/m
I can only imagine how much damage may be done by some of these posts. I usually consider myself to be pretty level-headed and reasonable but those posts made me pretty upset: #1 because I have been through some pretty underhanded things in years past and #2 because I read a second email saying to disregard the previous email and so deleted it without bothering to read it; thus I just assumed that the poster knew what he/she was talking about. When I came down to earth, I sent off an email to management and got back an explanation so guess I won't be going into retirement too soon. Seems like it makes more sense to address our concerns with the company for which we work before posting stuff on the internet that gives a company a black eye and then having it turn out to be unfounded. We all make mistakes and in the case of TT, I would be furious if I were them, both because of the stuff that was posted as well as with the company they hired to handle the payroll. I feel quite certain that if this HR service, or whatever it is called, doesn't live up to their expectations, they will be quick to fire them. As far as I'm concerned, TT is still among the best companies out there today. I didn't say perfect but then I'm not perfect myself either.
No you can't. TTer down below is hogging all
According to TTer, she is the only one who can cut it. No candy for anyone today.
Reply to Current TTer
Here Here! I agree with you 100% Current TTer. Couldn't have said it better myself!

TTer's tend to get a bit bent when they
nm.
I'm not a TTer, but this is a holiday week. I've
been on OT for months, but short lines every day this week. I get paid downtime so doesn't matter to me. I know next week things will pick up again.
TTer is right. Call or email tech support sm
and explain it to them. It's usually connection problems and/or too many media players on your system. They will clean it up for you. I was getting kicked out several times a day and they took out all the media players except what I needed and then shut down all the applications running in the background except for my virus scan and now I hardly ever get kicked out.
New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this
.
I agree. The TTer's should have own board. Tired of reading about TT, about how great they are, e

Bad folks
BReitner totally sucks! Very unprofessional people that have not paid other MTs in the past. Beware!
IC folks
Okay all of you IC folks quick question. Do you like the flexibility of IC work? Do you think being an employee is better or about the same? Do you think you can make more money being IC as they are smaller companies than the big corporate giants we all know too well. Just wanted some fast feed back on the life of being an IC.
That's all, Folks!
Only a card and they send the same card every year. Go figure!!!!!
To all you TT folks
Sounds like your management has been reading the MQ posts and they have decided why not? If MQ can get away with it....
MDI folks
I am so jealous of all you MDI employees. You are so fortunate to be working for what is obviously one of the few good apples left in the bunch. It sounds like they truly care about their employees and I'm sure it will pay off for them in the long run. Sounds like some smart management! Wish some of these other companies would get wise to that kind of thinking. Taking care of the backbone of the company, the MTs is only going to be more profitable in the long run, but too many of them are short-sighted these days. I'm betting it wouldn't do much good to apply to MDI right now!
mdi folks
I see at least 6 different MDI posters here; anyone want to share FB pages? It would be kind of nice to have a 'network' to ask direct questions to...
she is just trying to tell folks of her sm
experience so that any potential MTs wanting to work for them can keep their eyes open! I adn a lot of other MTs are glad folks post their experiences. That is what this board is for.
I agree working for MQ has nothing to do with it. Many of us made our living at MQ for many years before they got really bad.
Landmark has always had a good reputation, but they could be beginning to start getting bad too. Don't flame somebody just trying to post their experiences.
These folks are probably from another sm
country. I have heard folks from alot of the European countries talk like this. When you see ads like that it is a good indication that the person is not from America originally.
Uh huh, and there it is, folks....
Found what I was looking for:
The Company’s income before income taxes has improved in 2006, 2007 and 2008 due in large part to improved customer retention combined with new sales, increased use of speech recognition technology and INCREASED USE OF OFFSHORE TRANSCRIPTION PARTNERS.
I'm with that other poster. Transcend will either merge with or be purchased by CBay within the next 18-24 months.
I'm outta here.
MDI - Kiss my backside.
Rant: Why do you folks keep doing this
Ugggh. WHY say something like blah blah blah heartache, I'd say no to them. What is wrong with you people. Please say what you mean or say nothing at all.
For heaven's sake!
For my sake!
For everybody's sake!
I see some QA/MT folks do become recruiters from
thread below. Does anyone know how to break into this? I believe I would be very good at this and I don't believe I have ever seen any ads for recruiters.
If I have never seen any ads, how do some of the recruiters who have been/are MTs/QA manage to find the positions that they do in order to allow them to change companies when some of us have never seen an ad to allow us to even enter that end of the field?
I would love to know because I think it would be very interesting.
Would you recommend just to start emailing all companies or calling them, or do you think it would be a waste of time?
So what happened to all the new KS folks?
There were a bunch of posts in the last couple of weeks about it being a great company, new accounts, etc... Where are yall now that started with them?
Different strokes for different folks.
Of course I realize that no two people are alike, and no two experiences are the same, but I love it at Fast Chart. The platform is really, really easy to use, they don't bother you EVER once you're off QA, and lines are easy to get. I've worked for some crappy companies in the past, and I love Fast Chart! Email me for details if you need to know more.
DSG folks - is your platform up and
running? I saw earlier today on the MQ board where DSG's DQS system was also down. Ours still isn't working right and just wanted to see if it's just us or are you guys still down, too?
Off Shore Folks
Last quote we got from an Indian company --- they were up to 7cpl for 24 hour TAT and 8cpl for 24 hour TAT. I suspect what with the continued decline of the value of the dollar, along with the concomitant raise in standard of living in India, this is an issue/problem which may be resolving itself.
Yes, some of the damage already done, but markets have a way of correcting themselves.

DIfferent strokes for different folks
I agree with you completely. I am happy as can be at TT. I also took 8.5 cpl after making 0.975 for years. That was the only thing about TT that made me hesitate, but glad I jumped the big Q ship anyway. My income is what it was before all the cesspool and ASR mess there. I am not miserable anymore. Now to some people money is the bottom line. They don't need to feel appreciated. I had a major family crisis after being with TT for only a month. They could not have been nicer about it. I could go on and on, but I won't. I could have written your post. Been an MT for 20+ years, have never worked for nicer people. It works for me, but maybe not for others. I just hope everybody finds what they need in a company. Have a blessed day everyone!
Yes currently. Great folks. nm

To the "get a job" folks
Many of the jobs are for acute care MTs, I would say the majority are. Perhaps the OP is not an acute care MT. If you are not acute care your options seem to be limited.
Honest Folks
Hmm, don't forget to vent on all your police officers, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, airline pilots and other union members about how lazy and dishonest they all are.
Truly trying to help you upset folks
If you want to leave Transtech because of the VR issue you should be able to EASILY get hired ASAP by OSi in Douglasville, Georgia, or Focus but I think Focus does mainly VR. OSI always has a huge backlog and they don't do just VR. They also provide computers for full time. The links are www.ositranscription.com and www.focusinfomatics.com. These companies are always hiring. 
that is your choice. Some folks sm
might not mind doing this. She was just asking if it was legal not asking for all the flack.
Nice enough folks (sm)
The only downfall I can think of is that they don't pay for spaces, unless they have changed in the past year. They have direct deposit.
keep up with the baloney. Folks sm
are not going to believe you no matter how much you protest. Just because a company says you make 98-99% doesn't mean they are checking.
Some of these companies aer as bad as the indian MTs they hire. They just let stuff go through and don't check at all. There is no way your quality can be taht good. Been in this business too many years and have seen the braggers like you and when they are actually put to the test you find out their work is not as good as they claim.
I would love to QA you stuff myself.
Any other ETransplus folks out there who
are on the account that uses Meditech Magic? The only thing magic about is how to maintain a decent wage using this program.
Diiferent strokes, folks...! sm
I'm at DRC and couldn't be happier (after nine years with MQ.) The minimum Keystrokes per day work out to just less than 1000 lines per day--not difficult at all.
As for the little notes that pop up on your screen, I love them! My last little note from QA said Good job with Dr. XYZ! Heck, I'll let them interrupt my day for five seconds to give me a little pat on the back--(and it was a lot better feedback than what I'd been getting from MQ before I left!)
The DRC platform is MT-friendly--more productive than DEP--and I've never had such a great support system as with my transcription manager and QA. I LIKE daily communication and a clue about work flow and what I'm doing right and wrong.
Sorry that you had a bad experience with DRC. My experience has been just the opposite...and they don't offshore!
Thanks so much. They sound like great folks! nm
I know of folks who have taken a company to court and won
but still has not gotten paid to my knowlege. If it is DT then hang in there....always have to hope for the best.
only former CyMed folks affected
So far, they've told us it's only people who were with Cymed prior to the SPi buyout; no SPi folks affected...
Okay, new folks at TransTech and Diskriter. How
nm
Any Focus folks having problems? sm
I have since yesterday - this link explains it all.....
For the Transtech folks who run out of work
There is plenty of work at Transtech. You may have to get out of your comfort zone but we have bonuses now for at least one account. We have plenty of work. If you're looking for a good company don't delay applying and if you do work here and run out of work check with your supervisor. No I'm not a recruiter but I am happy with TT.
So Glad To See The Nice Folks
How refreshing to read a string of replies to this post that are kind, caring, and concerned. THIS is what I was looking for when I came to this board!!! Thanks!! 
the companies that are making folks sm
sit and wait for work will one day be out of business wait and see. As far as IC status, there are still true IC companies out there you just have to look for them. For that matter, there are employee companies that are very flexible as long as you get your work done.
Far as the doctors attitude, if they are farming their work out to an MTSO, the doctor has nothing to do with the hours you work, it is the MTSO that is the problem.
sounds like you need a change of company and there are a few great companies out there. Problem is I doubt you are going to make the cpl that you want (whatever that is). Nobody is making it anymore. Then again no job is making the money they should anymore right?
So we will leave it at that ok?
new career for some of you younger folks
I have been helping my son investigate career options and discovered that dental hygienists make 62K a year after completing a mere two-year program.
I guess one must ask oneself if they are squeamish about cleaning out other people's mouths, but I think I could get over it pronto (if I was younger) knowing how this profession has gone down the spit sink.
New career for some of you younger folks
A good field to get into is physical therapy, OT or speech therapy or physical therapy assistant. They make good money in my area. I note ads for them all of the time especially in sports medicine.
