In Reply to: First month of guaranteed pay was great and - had excellent dictators

All that's left for U.S. MTs is ESL and difficult dictations.

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.

very easy to work with - sm
I have not had any problems with this software (knock on wood).
Supposed to be easy work, but you won't ever get more than 8 cpl. How it was, anyway..nm

Old posts said easy to work for, but your pay would never go over 7 or 8 cpl depending on
s
I make that much $ too but i work very hard. Its possible, not easy.

Yes they can put them to work on easy stuff, such as clinic
NM
AnyModal is alive and well and quite easy to work
with if you have an IT department on the ball enough to make it work with your regular platform.  The only thing it doesn't do very well is formats, it's not much for left justifying but otherwise it actually helps with the bad dictators.  Plus, it's good for a laugh now and then.  I don't mind it anymore.  I mind the low pay rate but if I can get 3200-3500 lines a day on it, I can pay bills.  The first 6 months we had it, it was a nightmare.  Now that it's been in operation a year, it's not so bad. 
Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out
s
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
Not so easy when you make top pay and work days and hours of
xx
Platform is easy to use, and the people are great to work with. sm
I only work there part-time, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Good luck on whatever you decide. 
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.

TT has plenty of work. The platform is super easy to learn and
I'm not having any trouble at all making good line counts doing ESL discharge summaries. Super nice people as well.
Nice people, easy clinic work, leave you alone, but low pay. nm

They use Dictaphone EX Text platform. Very user friendly and easy to work on.
It is all strictly internet based. No extra phone lines required. They do reimburse your high speed internet up to I think $40 a month, too.
I love it here; easy platform, plenty of work, great communication
@@@
Because people only want specific work types, easy dictators and certain hours...
That is why some people find a shortage of work, while others find an abundance. I cannot believe these last few threads and the vitriole of some of your responses. Any time a company is mentioned, any company, there are always a bunch of negative responses.

Maybe you all should check within yourselves to find out why you do not have enough work.

I happen to work for a company that is being negatively mentioned in these posts, and I am extremely happy. They may offshore, but they treat me very well, are communicative and I have never missed a paycheck. I also will do any work types, ESL, and will help out extra when asked. This is one of my first times on this board and I probably will not be back.
They offshore work
Some of their people are really nice but they send a lot of work offshore.  They care about the all mighty dollar and not the people that work for them....
He would have fun with the work being sent offshore

If WE are going to be nick picked for commas, semi-colons, etc., then what in the world happens to those reports being sent offshore?  They don't understand English let alone where to place a comma or not to cap a generic drug name.  When then day comes for me to correct offshoring mistakes ---- I will kiss this job good-bye. 


They offshore and u run out of work!!!
You will run out of work as it is with them and when they find offshore to cover the account, you will lose all your work!!!!!!!!!  They are a lying bunch of theives!!!
It is well known they offshore their work.
They do not hide that, just wondered if it went to 100% now. 
Easy platform, assigned accounts, always plenty of work. Great OM and boss. nm

Companies that do not offshore work

Are there any companies that pay a good line rate and are good to there MTs that do not offshore there work?  I am trying to help a friend looking for part time work, but she is staying clear of those that offshore..


Any help would be appreciated.


They still offshore. I work for a better company
and they don't offshore.  
does not send work offshore
MedScript Services in Florida
the offshore work - BTDT -

Does OSI send work offshore?

If so I won't bother.  TIA


THey offshore the good work. nm
 
It if offshore work. You'd be better off working
at Wal-Mart. 
She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
Never have and never will.  The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will. 
OSI does send offshore work
nm
Yes. I will not work for companies which offshore.
If we all did that, the companies would have no choice but to come back and give us our jobs back.
They claim it is only 15%, but it is more like 60% offshore work.
The offshore swine get preferential treatment over the US transcriptionists. The screen shows there is work to do and suddenly everything is gone but the bad dictators, and I do not mean 10 jobs, I am talking at least 45 jobs at one time off my accounts just disappeared. I thought about changing my name to hari skrishna for a while so I could get some work, but found another job instead.
Do they send work offshore?
Just wondering.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)
.
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
Not much. They offshore, too. You'll get all the crap work.

I thought Transcend did not offshore work.

Work for a company that doesn't offshore

Quit Precyse. Work for someone who does not offshore. nm
.
Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm
.
Easy platform, PTO if you are employee, production incentive, direct deposit, work flow varies on
different accounts, but usually have enough to keep busy, lots of QA feedback.
TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
 
time to work offshore hours and grab
all you can away from the 'partners,' eh?
Work for a company that does not offshore. Save our jobs.

I was offered a position editing offshore work that

was also Surprisingly good.   I knew without being told that the work was being done offshore as it was not that good. 


If I were to go to India, or any other non-English speaking company I would not be able to do the work either, but then I'm not trying to compete with native MTs.  If I say I have a first rate product, then I need to be able to prove it and thus far I haven't seen it. 


Work for a company that doesn't offshore. Support US MTs.

I have talked to too many hospitals that do not care if the work is done offshore. sm
It is hard enough for the public to understand what we do, much less have them stand behind us in this.
Are there any companies left who don't send work offshore?
?
No need to look. Sending 90% of the work offshore has put money in the bank for me. sm
It has lowered my stress level. I work half the hours I used to. Unfortunately for those of you that have your heads in the sand, there are options for companies now that do not include putting up with what we had to for years from MT's. My accounts are happy because the turnaround times are better than ever and the quality is about the same. The offshore companies have improved greatly in the past 10 years and the quality for some of them is the same or better than some in-house departments. Even my customers are amazed when they realize this.

I tell my customers that the work is being done offshore and guess what? THEY DO NOT CARE! They just want it done fast, done right and at a lower cost. They are happy and refer us to other hospitals who also DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS BEING SENT OFFSHORE.

You are fooling yourselves if you think hospitals will not use a service if they send work overseas.

I just wish I had done this 10 years ago instead of 3.

If you think I can't sleep at night, you're wrong. Quite the opposite. I don't feel bad about sending work out of the country because I am now providing money to someone who might otherwise starve.

As Americans, we do not know what it is like to truly be hungry or need shelter. If we did, we might appreciate what we have a lot more. I certainly do now and to be honest, I am happy not to have to listen to every whine and ailment of transcriptionists and excuses all day long. I KNOW the work is getting done.
