Yes, but I don't think we are supposed to give names here. They are BIG.

Can't you give her any names for companies? sm
You have been around and tried many - you should have some names to give yourself.

Just ask me, and I will give you names of transcriptionists
I can provide you names with transcriptionists who have worked with me. They have all been happy. Never had one quit.
you can give the names of the 2 companies here.

If they did not give it to you, it could be that they are not supposed to use it. You could be sett
has a toll-free number that is used for doctors to dictate and some of the transcriptionists from the service (not KS) got the number and used it. The MTSO had to pay the hospital something like $40,000 and the transcriptionists lost their jobs because they were not given the number by the MTSO. The MTSO was ticked off and fired them for deceptive practices or something like that. The MTSO was given 5 days to pay it or lose the account immediately for fraulent use of the hospital's toll-free number! You might want to check that you are not setting them up.
Can you give me the names of the companies here that were not honest?

it's okay to give company names, per moderator.
nm
"warned" by someone who won't give facts or sign her name. Give me a break! nm

Nationals give at least a week to learn program. Give

They used to give out $25 Amex cheques -- give them time. :-) nm

Only when names are used. If you do not
use names, the posts will not be deleted.

This must have been a long time ago because with HIPAA, no one can use someone else's ID and KS is very strict about that now, if not in the past.

The leads have been changed over the past few years and especially over the past few months and weeks.

It might be worth revisiting just to see the positive changes. I am not saying that KS is the right fit for everyone, but I will say that things are MUCH better organized over the past 3 months than EVER before and the new office, with having so many people in the same place (finally) will make that the norm not the exception.
I can't name names but this is
There must be a lot of problem in QA and I heard a rumor that 3 people are about to get fired. they wanted somebody in there in place before this happens so they will have a QA staff because they have a big backlog. I wasn't sure about it because they kind of come and go so I was offered the extra line rates for now to motivate me to learn my newbie program and take the step to teach QA
Those 2 names
Probably the same 2 from the other company
seems to me I see the same names
I always see every day and communicate with regularly with the same MTs - - group looks to be over 100 now where is used to be only about 50 - - they are growing and that's why they need MORE MTs... new accounts like crazy coming on, I see the emails from the acct manager regarding new accounts starting up - - reason tells you thats why they need more MTs - I know I'm not working on any of the new accounts and see a growing list of MTs in the group emails weekly
I don't know particular names, but
that advertise they use an FTP site.  Most FTP sites have you type in Word.  Hope this helps a little.  Not a platform lover here either. 
No more names, please. (sm)
I have removed several replies to this thread that were naming 2 different people associated with this company.

Let's just leave the last names off and realize that the original poster is referring to the company Allstate and the owner of it.

They also use other names now since so many
I recently saw ads with another name and it was the same exact wording TransAm uses so they're now using other names to try to lure unsuspecting MTs into their web. Basically, a good rule of thumb is any company that advertises 100 of the same ad all over the place, states you can make a ton of money with no experience and they'll show you how, and wants you to work for free or pennies, it's a scam, and probably TranScam. lol
I would like to see names also, but
also think it is a crap shoot either way. You never really know if a company is the right fit for you until you actually work for them. It all depends on what a person is looking for, what accounts they get, their supervisor, etc. For instance, there are a lot of negative posts about MQ, but I do very well there. Some companies that people rave about being good I have worked for and not been happy with, mostly due to lack of work or platform...crap shoot.
I don't want to name names...but...sm
it is a job posted on mtjobs.com.....company out of california.
why is it not supposed to be done?
I'm in the same situation and just wondered why it shouldn't be done if this had been your primary source of work, thus your bread and butter for several years and was suddenly gone. In my case, it's neither the company's nor my fault, so I was seriously considering doing this, but if there's some legality involved here, I would really be interested in hearing about it. Thanks.
Yes they do, yes it is, and yes it is supposed to be. lol nm

What's that supposed to mean?
You posted your age? Should I care? :)
Were we not supposed
nm
What you are supposed to do is SM
call the help desk and ask for more work.  Have you done that? 
NO, we as MTs are NOT supposed to know...s/m
'the difference between generic and brand'. We are only suposed to know if it is capped or not.
And this we know only when we look it up.
Some we remember, the majority we forget, then we look it up again.

BTW: What do you mean by 'difference in generic or brand.'
The definition of this can be given in ONE sentence.
?????????what is that supposed to mean??????

I don't think so..unless she has different business names. nm

They had people's NAMES in them, a no-no.

I do not know of ML&M or any of those names but Jamie.

Ubiqus goes by many different names - and
they also offshore their work. In fact, they have lost quite a few clients in the past three months because of the quality of the work that is being returned. I work with their sales guy, as well as transcribe for them. But I DEFINITELY do not rely on them to be my bread and butter. I'd be the skinniest Transcriptionist in the world! They definitely do not pay well for pharmaceutical work

Funniest thing - the owners used to have this thing about converting everyone that worked onsite to go into scientology. I just humor them.
Is there some reason we can't come right out and name names?
Do we have to use cryptic abbreviations for these non-paying or slow-paying companies?
You can't post names
/
PS: No names needed.
No names needed, as I believe that is against board policy now, but just wanted to get a broad idea of how much per year deductable you pay if you work for a national service.
I would also ask about looking patient's names up and such.

Personal names. How would you like to see your own name
trashed on this forum? If not, maybe you shouldn't do it to this man, either.
You don't call names?
Be careful of your thoughts. They become words.
Be careful of your words. They become actions.
Be careful of your actions. They become habits.
Be careful of your habits. They become your character.
Be careful of your character. It becomes your legacy.
Nah, but don't wanna name names. nm

What is the LLC after company names
I see several companies on the job boards that use the initials LLC after the name. Are these companies related?

Ty
Real Names
Like you do???---Passing Thru--. I call them as I see them; there are no gray areas here. Also, NO ONE should ever give their personal information out on ANY public website, i.e., name, e-mail address, etc.; too many psychos out here...
Overhire. I see 4 or 5 new names on
my accounts every week, and we never needed any help.
No, you just see an MT ID number...no names...nm

They must be. There are new names in the newsletter every

Names posted
About halfway down the page, there is a company owner's name posted. Should that be deleted?

:)
No initials or names. (nm)

Names were removed. (sm)
We try to edit if at all possible.

Why is TTD changing names.......sm

On job seeker's board, TTD has another add but now they posted the company name as TMinc????


Guess they are not getting resumes or responses to their ads.  hmmm


I have the file names...
... on my computer. Your mileage may vary. Here are mine:

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013user.aco

and

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013userdic.tlx

If I'm not mistaken, user.aco is your expansion file, and userdic.tlx includes any entries you may have added to the dictionary during spell-check.

So if you search your entire hard drive for files named user.aco and userdic.tlx, you should be able to see where they are hiding in both installations of DQS, and you can copy the larger files (the one with all your expansions and dictionary entries in them) to the locations where the smaller files reside.

Clear as mud?
Anybody with any other company names for
I can't think of any others but the 2 listed above.
A few good QA...names and all!

I think alot of companies have horrible QA, but these are a few that I have to say are pretty awesome.  Before you go there, I am NOT management, just think the rare few need to be mentioned.  I know most are pretty awful, and I think we need to give more company names on these, maybe they'll recognize themselves and do some self-assessing!


MedScribe - Indiana has super nice QA.  Not only are they nice, but very fair in their feedback and focus on what is really important.


MTS, though a crappy company (see, not managment!) being run into the ground, the QA gals are pretty awesome.


TTS, still an almost crappy company, but QA is great.


Please post the names, it is okay per the (sm)

moderator, but please do it to keep other MTs from having to go through what you are.  DIT has already been listed below as one that does not pay.  Please, please list the companies.


TIA
