This is happening at Transtech Houston

No work this week the majority of my shift.


Are you TT MT's out of work, too, or just me? I am wondering, as this has not happened to me since I began working for them.


Transtech in Houston has lots of VR work
You may have the option of working weekdays and rotate weekends, 1 one weekend per month. That is my deal but I have been here a while. Or you can work Sunday through Thursday.
Answers to some questions asked about TransTech out of Houston, TX

Different platforms -- Dictaphone ExText -- very clumbsy/clunky editing platform.  Probably 85% ESL now that so much VR/editing being done. 


Big push for more editing, so what straight transcription that is kicked out from the voice machine is absolutely horrible on the ears!  THE TRUTH and nothing else but the truth !

Pay half for editing/VR work . . . yuk ! 


Different strokes for different MT's, but I work to earn a living, not for the fun of it ! Transcription used to be a FUN profession, but lacking now with all the jobs going to VR machine. 


Any recent info on TransTech Medical Solutions of Houston TX.....sm
I just received an offer to test, wonder if it is worth it; I have a few offers, but nothing I am truly convinced about....how is this company to work for, and do they accept PT folk, don't care if it is IC, SE, or regular employee......and I, too, need flexibility, as long as I get my lines in and always make turnaround time.  Long time ago, there were many, many companies that operated that way; now, it seems, everyone is very rigid -- so am I, but I have to make things work with family situation, I am not only caring for 3 kids, but also 89-year-old mom part-time.  Thanx all in advance!
Houston....
Several ads on job seeker's board.
No, it is in Houston.

Is this the Alliance out of Houston? nm

Alliance MT in Houston????

I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with this company?  Good or bad?


 


TIA   


MediTask....NOT in Houston

There are two MediTasks.  The one I am wondering about is in Austin....I think.  Is it a nice place to work.  Pay??  Hours/shifts?  Anything would be wonderful!


i should add that this is the alliance out of Houston

Is the name of the company AMT in Houston? /nm

Medi-Task - NOT HOUSTON

From time to time, I search these boards for any posts regarding my company, MediTask.  Yeah, I know I'm late (really late) posting, but some time back someone had asked about my company, asking if it was the one in Houston, owned by Matt Read, or what.  Nope - not me.  Here's my story:  


I own Medi-Task (Hill Country, TX).  I started this business in Houston in 1989, and moved to the central Texas in 1995, selling that portion of my business to Matt Read.  He didn't change the name (another whole story there) but just added -"Houston" to the end of it.  I fielded calls and inquiries for a long time until they died out.  I understand he sold that business several months ago. I've tried calling but they sometimes have a message giving a pager number (?).  Ouch... I wish people weren't confusing the two companies! 
 


Being an MTSO, I did hear things through the grapevine to the tune of MTs not getting paid, or paid on time... I can't really comment on that because I had nothing to do with how Matt ran his business, and basically kept my nose to the grindstone where growing my business was concerned.  So, you'll have to raise those questions with someone else who was really there.


MediTask (my company) has clients in 7 states, and MTs in as many.  We're a smaller, close-knit group.  My MTs have never gone without pay, and I believe in behaving honorably in those matters.  My reputation is important to me, and I hope to never see any negative about myself or this company.  But, people are funny  - - some move from company to company peddling their wares (which are sometimes rusty), and then get bent way out of shape when their services are no longer needed.  Some are just bent on getting out of shape.  However, that said - I have MTs who have been with me a long, long time.  In fact, the first MT I ever brought on board in 1989 is working with me today. Others have been on board since '92 and '94, 99, etc.


All the MTs here are subcontractors, so I don't offer the big perks that the nationals do.  Sometimes I feel bad about that (and have lost great applicants who are looking for more), but also understand that there are pros and cons to both ways. There's not a corporate bone in my body, and I never really want all the headaches associated with handling a huge company.  I like it smaller where we all know each other's names, and work close as a team.  We actually get together whenever we can in Austin or Marble Falls - that's pretty cool.


No one asked me, but I thought I might clear the air on the "MediTask Houston or Austin or what?" posts, let ya'll (yep, I'm from Texas) know who I am, and what this company is about.  I'm proud to be associated with the people who work with me, and so lucky to have such dedicated, helpful, spirited, intelligent colleagues such as them.  I'm blessed. 


Anyone who has curiosity beyond this, I'm happy to answer any questions I can.

In a poor house in Houston

you are saying "offshore company" - they are in Houston so...
not an offshore company - American based and American owned.

If they offshore work, I do not know.

I was there a couple of years ago when they changed from TSI to Smartmed. Their only downfall was very high insurance costs.
Yes, I live right outside of Houston. It was postmarked
Friday, if that helps.
other hospitals in houston are back
A friend works for a different hospital in Houston and said they have been back up to full speed for 3 days now. So just seems odd they are not all back up to full speed. Maybe their hurricane preparedness was not as heavy duty?
I work for the one out of Houston but don't know anything about the Ohio TT

The one in Houston is the one people love

Is eSmartMed the same as the SmartMed located in Houston? nm Thanks!

and that is not age discrimination....give me a break...
TransTech
TransTech has a job posting on the job board.  I have talked with the person who hires (Debbie).  She is really a nice lady.  They have a M-F schedule listed.
TRANSTECH

Does anyone have any information good or bad on TransTech Medical Solutions? 


TIA


TransTech
I've been with them just about 2 years, best move I ever made.  The best advice I can give is to give them a call and talk to them.  If they are as good for you as they are for me, you'll be a happy camper. Have never ran out of work, pay is decent and DD on time, they often offer VERY good, easy to reach incentives too.  Happy MTing!
TransTech
Be very careful.  The owner is a very moody person. I only lasted 2 days.
TRANSTECH
Transtech is a very good place to work.  The "owner" is NOT moody.  The people are the finest in the industry.  They value their MTs.  The are awesome to work with and for.

I have been with Transtech for 1-1/2 years and it works great for me.  I have 20+ years in this line of work and TT is the best company I have ever worked for (and I have worked for a couple of them).  I have direct deposit and my pay has always been on time and accurate.  I always have work (an abundance of it!!).  TT is a fast growing company, adding new accounts, and very busy.  They have a very good QA team who are very helpful.  They hire USA transcriptionists only - NO offshoring.  TT has an ad on the Job Seeker's Board and you can check out some of the things they offer.  Also, here is the Contact Us link from their website:  http://www.transtechmedical.com/ContactUs.html   Good luck in your job search.


TransTech

They have a lot of ads for MTs, are they growing, or difficult to work for, hard to keep MTs.  What is the story?


transtech
Yes, I was offered even more money from a smaller company, not national.

 Anyone have any info on TransTech.  I have an interview today.

Does Transtech pay for spaces, headers, footers, etc.
TransTech

Give Transtech a try.  I worked for MQ about 9 years ago only because they bought out a company I worked for.  I only stayed with MQ a very short time after the buy-out.  I now work for TransTech and they are a great company.  You can contact them through their website at:

Do you know if they have radiology accounts? TIA
TransTech
I have checked the archives regarding this company but there is nothing up-to-date on there.  I would like to know how this company is to work for, how their platform is, and overall if it is a good company to work for.  Do they pay for spaces?  What is their average starting cpl?  TIA

I have been with TT for over 1-1/2 years and love it.  Great bosses, good pay (always on time), good benefits, and I have always had work.  It works for me !!
