Title: TRANSCEND QA Position

Can anyone tell me what the QA staff (team) is like at Transcend?
I’m thinking about applying for a position but want to know what the quotas
for QA are, and approximately how much of the total volume is ESL? The
good, bad and the ugly are all welcome!


Thanks




I think the title of post set people off...
tell your ex-coworker: no, you do not know of anyone hiring; if she asks again, tell her the same thing. Be thankful she did not ask to use you for a reference; then you have a problem.
It's TRX...the OP listed on the title of her post

The name is in the title - DICTATION BY PHONE (nt)

You are right. I am going to implement this title immediately. Thank you very much! nm

I understand even less now. MQ does not have the title of "proofer" either! No editors and no
proofers! Just makes me wonder who you really are.  No offense, but a long time ago lots of lawyers were fishing for info using questions like yours.  I've been with MQ for 14 years, in a lot of "titles", and never heard 1 office having proofers! Not one of our job descriptions! As for retroactive pay, I have never heard of that either! So guess I'll just exit now, as obviously cannot help you!
It's a mythical title created by the AAMT to get yet another fee out of us
Ask any doctor what a CMT is. They have never heard of it.

Well, there ya go.
I think it's just the fact that she is posting under a false title

I would suspect that with the name Global in the title, its probably India...dunno though.

Medical language specialist is a title made up by MTs. The truth is...sm

...we are transcriptionists. Our job is to type what the doc/PA/nurse dictates. Look at a court reporter; she can call herself a legal language specialist or a juris stenographer or whatever else she comes up with, but her job is to provide a transcript of WHAT IS SAID in court. She is not changing anything, and nobody expects her to. In fact, if she did, there would be huge repercussions!


 Same for closed captioning transcriptionists. What is said goes in the ears and out the fingers, no changes.


 The difference between us and them is that we deal in medical language.


My title and my job is medical transcriptionist. I have also been a transcription editor. If the account says type verbatim, I do just that, and it matters not to me if the doc ends the sentence with a preposition. I'm here to provide a hard copy of what he said, not make him look like he went to charm school. If the doc/site/account/client decides the charts look foolish, they are free to allow me light editing privileges for the sake of clarity.


If you want to correct someone else's words, become a copy editor.
