Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm

Applied at Transcend but they do not allow Word 2007

and Microsoft quit selling Word 2003 in June of this year, which means they will quit supporting it soon, too.  I hate to pay $187.00 for an outdated piece of software for working.  I have a new computer and specifically requested Windows XP but did not think about Office 2007 not being usable.


 


Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm

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

It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

You work in Word. sm
You are provided headers that you fill in and just add in a new header for each dictation. You will end up with one long document. You'll need a c-phone or re-record equipment and unlimited long distance. Lots of work and nice people to work for. Pay is always on time (by mail). Hope this helps. :)
Word's out from the T: Little or no work...sm
available this weekend but cannot take time off.  Deja vu????
You can work in Word or WP5.1, whichever

format you are most productive with.  You run a micro that pulls up the header, type in patient's name and it puts it in the correct place in the header.  Occasionally doctors enter wrong work type and you will need to change that in the header.  If you need to do a CC, you run a macro and the list of docs comes up, you highlight the doc and enter and info goes where it needs to.   When new doctors are added you do have to add those into the system.  You may go months and not get any new doctors and then get 30 one month,  It is very easy to add them in.   Unfortunately PAs are not in the system so until you get familiar with them you have to look them up.


You do spellcheck, run a macro for line count, run a macro to send the work - EASY.  


Company is QT Medical and they are hiring.  There have been a couple of posts about them this week.  Good company. 


Can Radnet work without Word on
your computer?
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).

ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
same story where I am - flooded with e-mails when they are slammed with work and then no word from t

Keystrokers - do you work in Word - Can you use ShortHand - How many lines for fulltime? Thanks

Put the extra work in to studying ESL accents, word expanders, become
more proficient as an MT and you will become more valuable and get better line count. Just IMO.
Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.

Transcend and no work...sm
I left Transcend over 1 year ago, and from what I have read here, nothing has changed except the forced VR, that I saw coming and one of the reasons I left.  The other was NO WORK, especially on the last week of the pay period.  On the weekend day that I HAD to work, I sat there and babysat my PC with NO WORK!!!.  It was so frustrating, and I was NOT one who got on and worked when I wanted.  I worked my scheduled shift everyday, all day long, and it was a struggle to get a decent line count...sometimes it was impossible because the accounts were over staffed.  I know there are slow times, but this was for the WHOLE year that I stuck it out there.  They had the most horrible accounts, sound quality was spotty and scratchy, and the dictators were awful.  The worst accounts were the ones you had to have a "faxed" copy of the patients in order to even start typing the report; had to search through tons of awful faxed sheets....ugh!!   I'm sick to my stomach just remembering it all.   Apparently nothing has changed, and only gotten worse, as evidenced by the constant help wanted ads and complaints posted here.  Sure glad I got out when I did.  Flame away with "things are different", but I don't see any evidence of it in the posts I've read.
How is Transcend to work for?
I worked for MQ for 6 years and it sucked. Management was terrible. Raises were unheard of and you worked your butt off. They appreciate no one!
So do you work for Transcend?

Are you making 10 cpl with Transcend?  If you are is that what you started at and how long have you been with them?


RE: So do you work for Transcend?
Yes I do, and I have been with them one year as of July.
Transcend...anybody able to work?

Does anyone work for Transcend doing...sm
editing for voice recognition?  I am thinking of making the transition as my hands are tired! But don't want to make a bad move and get paid nothing for hard work.
Currently work PT for Transcend
and so far doing okay.  It was a challenge to learn Beyond TXT, but so was DQS, I have a problem learning new programs.  The people are great and they have their own forum and web site to ask questions.  No shift or weekend differentials.  You have to E mail tech, but sometimes I just call them.  They usually get right back to you. I heard a lot of negative posts about them on this site, I guess disgruntled ex-employees need to vent, but I have not found what they said to be true. It has been a positve experience for me.  They leave me alone to do my work and I am picking up speed.  4 weeks now.  I do get some hard dictators, but also some easy ones. I don't listen to a lot of the negative posts because in my experience, they are exaggerated.  I have another job and that company gets a lot of negative posts also and the job has worked out fine for me.  MT stars in general gets a lot of doom and gloom posts.  The sky is definitely not falling.
I work for Transcend and it is no
company out there.  The posts below are not true in my experience about as the person hiring was very nice to me and not rude at all.  Please do understand, though, that every account they have they hope to get on VR and pay the MTs half per line what they are making doing MT, because it is expected your production will double on VR. So if you like doing VR and can do double what you transcribe, this would be a good company for that person. In the meantime, they still have plenty of regular work. Hope this helps. 
I work for Transcend. Beyond TXT
to others I have been on.  Also, all accounts will be going to VR in the near future, so if you like VR at half your line rate, go for it.  Otherwise I would seriously think about this one.
All Transcend work going to ME
If you want to do MT, be prepared to being switched to ME in the very near future.  This company wants all accounts on VR.
What is Transcend like to work for? How about MDI-FL? They both sm
talk a good game, but it sounds like a sales pitch and I want to get some honest opinions before leaving MQ.
I used to work for Transcend.
I also thought their platform was terrible and the training was a joke.  That is why I left.  They have the worst platform I have ever worked on. The training was the worst also.  And the technical department, if you have a problem, you have to email them and wait and wait and wait for an answer, sometimes not until the next day.  And they were crashing on a daily basis.  Reports did  not show up on my line count.  I had to constantly email tech to see why a report did not show up.  The worst company I have worked for.
I work for Transcend
They are a very good company to work for.  I've been with them over a year now and have been treated very fairly and kindly.  I highly recommend them.  They're looking for MTs, so definitely consider them as your home.  Hope this helps.
Transcend work
Where is it?  I guess they have none.  Anyone else having this?
Transcend work
My accounts are pretty busy this morning.
Transcend must have sent all their work
over to India this weekend too. Nothing available on my accounts. What else is new. This is getting to be routine.
Anybody work for Transcend

who is a team lead and would like to share some info on how they like it? Feel free to e-mail me.


I don't work at Transcend. nm

Low/no work at Transcend?
Anybody? Or maybe it's just me. I don't get it. I've barely had part-time amount of work and I check in at all hours of the day and night just to get that. There is zero work on the system right now. It's ridiculous. I've been begging them to add another account and they are doing it I guess but at a snail's pace. Bills are coming due, gas is getting higher and this looks like the end of the road for me. Even during MT week, everyone was suppose to get a package, I didn't and to add insult to injury there was a contest I had won that week ($25) and you guessed it, no sign of it.

So although they're extremely friendly ppl who don't give me a bit of grief, I can't afford to work there anymore. It's been since the end of May and hardly any work.

Oh well. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','%3Cimg%20src=http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sad.gif%3E');

I've already applied to a few places, so we'll see what we see.

It's back to the drawing board, Again.
Transcend work
I have had no problem with communicating with Transcend.  Got out of training on the second day, and I am on a very difficult account.  None of it is easy, but I feel I have lots of help and support when and if I need it. 
If you work for Transcend and do VR
how many lines per week are you doing? Is it possible to make any money with their VR accounts?
Low to no work at Transcend
Anyone else from Transcend frustrated with low to no work for the 3rd day this week.  Granted there was a hurricane that hit Texas and some healthcare facilties were hit ... but most are back up running now and back to usual...  Is this a case of overhiring for Transcend escription or what? 

I was already near the poor house and 1 day last week and now 3 days this week of basically now work is a surefire boot to the poor house.
Transcend work...
I do VR and ST for Transcend (going on about 4 months now) and absolutely LOVE this company and their accounts. Not much I can add to that!
Transcend work
Good for you. Hope it continues have worked there for about four years and it has gone from poor to worse.
