No Indians in MA u think? Thought maybe they had a few helping there. I'm a rookie outside of my

She says since then only hire IC so I thought time

What do you think of CBay. Medquist has been bought by CBay.nm

Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time.  I get sick to death of it.  I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
It has nothing to do with Indians
It has to do with any MT of any nationality that will accept to work for peanuts. We had that saying IN-HOUSE back in the day before anyone had heard of off-shoring. Please don't try to look for racist meanings when there are none. What the saying means is that if you pay little enough, you will get a worker (no matter the nationality) who has the knowledge and abilities of a monkey. I have known plenty of that variety right here in the good old US of A.
I think that's because you don't have to pay the Indians to sign on - sm
and yes, I am being sarcastic!! :)
The Idots are the Indians.


What about editing the Indians?
nm
indians editing
THat is not true.... we QA editors never get Indian work, and some companied they get edited twice India and then final editing in US, and it is still crappy.
I'm sure the Indians who devised it, will not
xxxxxxxxx
Indians...Are they really that good?

if you like working for Indians you will like it.
all Indian all the time.
Indians = monkeys?
Regardless of how I feel about Indian outsourcing, that's a snide remark.
GIVE IT TO THE INDIANS

You are so right. And to take it further I have to say, we as MTs let this happen. Granted, it was the old frog in the pot situation, but the water is boiling now and it's time to JUMP OUT!  MTs as a whole simply need to REFUSE to put up with all this cra...nonsense. 


I only work my own accounts, as well as some work for a wonderful, small service owner. I tried Spheris and Transolutions a few years back only to experience all the horrors lamented on these boards, and quit  both of them in a matter of 2 or 3 weeks. Life's too short to be miserable and broke.  You're not making any money anyway!!!!!  Have you ever figured out your hourly wage?  Especially when you're sitting there all hours just hoping some work will come in!  This has been going on for so long, it's pretty clear that it's not going to change, so LET THE INDIANS HAVE IT!!!


Unbelievable! The Indians
can't even MT very well, much less do QA!!! What's this business coming to...
I'd rather edit Indians than VR because sm
I did that and made a lot more money on it than VR. They actually get all the words right except our slang.


Blame it on the Indians! LOL ! Like everything else! LOL..nm
nm
Well, they better have lots of Indians, as I don't

Kentucky Indians. nm

How can you NOT KNOW you were training Indians?

The dialect did not give it away?  The lack of knowledge of the English language was not telling? 


COME ON! 


Does it matter if it is being RAN or RUN by Indians..same outcome
Get over it..
not sure of the exact # but there are more Indians than Americans
nm
Of course we are the goldstars - just as the Indians are with their own kind, etc.
Ya gotta think global though.
Mostly Indians. I've never seen anything good

posted above them.  


Let the Indians work holidays for OSI
$*#@^%
Why are you making Indians scapegoats SM
for United States greed? My company has more MTs in India than in the United States. The list of US hospitals that prefer the company send reports to India is shocking and makes me sick. But India is doing more to bring business to their country than we are to ours. Whose fault is that? It sure as heck is not the Indians.
Working for Indians is a pain.........sm

They are rude and they love to talk down to you, especially women....they think they know every damn think about everything and don't know squat. 


Indian men are A holes!


But "Kentucky-based" Indians …. nm

I had a BAD experience with working with Indians...nm

So if Transcend uses Indians for weekends,
they have Monday through Friday only positions available for US employees?
CBay
The hospital I worked for contracted with CBay, closed the transcription department, and a few months later rehired some MTs back due to very poor quality. When posed with the question as to how much of their transcription is sent overseas, i.e., India, the recruiter replied "more than 50%."

Thanks for the info on CBay!

Thanks for the info on CBAY!

Hopefully things have changed then. They have been known to come in, hire the existing MTs to help with the transition, and once things are running smoothly they let everyone go and send the whole kit and kaboodle over to India. Our hospital outsourced to them and it has been a nightmare for the last year. Can't wait to see what they do when the contract is up.

CBAY
I can't figure out why Advance constantly promotes CBay without telling the full story. Absolutely nothing positive about this company that I know of. Our facility is dumping them and I wonder how many others are too.
cbay
i lost my job to them. they didnt offer anyone a position. they took it all to india. it is now back in house because of such poor quality, didnt take long, less than six months.
CBay does not use US MTs does it.

CBay
They must have a great PR firm though. All the articles about CBay make them sound better than sliced bread! The facility I was outsourced from went with them and it was total nightmare. I would love to know how many facilities actually RENEW their contracts with CBay.
CBay
Does anyone know what CBay rates are and do they use domestic people at all
CBAY
I would like information from anyone currently working at CBay, i.e. benefits, pay for transcriptionists and editors. Thanks
cbay
My own client used to use Cbay. Let me tell you they were not happy at all!! It all goes overseas to India. Does that tell you anything??
cbay
I have no idea but the do send work overseas!
Cbay

Does anyone have any info on CBay? Anyone every work there?


Re: MQ and CBay
My daddy used to say Birds of a feather flock together. The union of these two companies is a prime example.
CBay

I was wonderng if anybody who works for CBay can tell me about the company from an employee's viewpoint.  I recently got a job offer but I don't know much about the company itself.  I know they own the majority share of MedQuist.  I also know they have an India corporate office along with the USA one.  Aside from this, I really don't know much about the company operations and don't find very much info reading the boards.    Thanks

From their 2000 post on net.
CBay and Medical Transcription
Business India Intelligence - March 2000
Dictating to Delhi

CBay Systems of the US plans to use India's abundance of low-cost, English-speaking graduates to become the largest medical transcription company in the world.

CBay Systems, an American medical transcription company, has done things differently than most of its competitors, both in the US and India. While most other medical transcription companies in the US rely on American home-based transcriptionists, CBay is building its business around Indian transcriptionists.

Unlike competitors who have set up in India, CBay does not directly employ its transcriptionists. Rather, its fully owned Indian subsidiary, set up in 1998, identifies potential entrepreneurs who have the managerial capability to set up and finance production centers (data capture and data delivery are in the US). CBay (India) then provides technical assistance, including hardware and software, as well as help with recruitment and training. Once training is complete the centres start commercial operation with 100% of capacity being filled by CBay. Through the Internet, voice data (in encrypted and compressed form) flows directly from the US-based servers of the company to the production centre and the transcribed data is sent directly back.

CBay
Thank you. I know CBay is like sour grapes to some, especially when it comes to MedQuist. I really appreciate some actual information on the company and not just negative opinions.

I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company.  I work days (and some nights) with this company.  I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night.  Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working.  Do you have to have set hours at your company #2?  Thanks for the suggestion.
The Indians gobbled all those accounts up! Try Focus. nm

I agree, no Indians work for this place.
