And it seems that's what they beach about the most - sm

to radtrans
I agree with you.  I am a self taught radiology Transcriptionist and it took my persistence in learning and not some school, who could care less.  All they want is your money.  I am from the old school too. 
RADTRANS?
Anyone have any comments on them?  Half my work is radiology and I get paid about half of what they are offering for part time. Wouldn't mind trying them out as it is a PT position at the time I could handle but they require a C-phone which I don't have and have no experience with. Silly question, Exactly what is a C-phone and how is its quality and function?
RADTRANS
long reports, small font, wide margins, pay per page
RADTRANS@AOL
Beware of the owner of this company.  She is the most rude and unprofessional person I've dealt and I was just testing. 
I'm thinking of just going to the beach today

to radtrans/keystrokes
They contacted me by e-mail in one day, but I guess they did not like what I wanted for a report and never heard any more from them.
I worked for L&H out of West Palm Beach
and I really miss them.  They were the best company I ever worked for in this business, treated us fairly and with respect.  I worked for MQ when I first started out working at home in about 1995 and didn't stay with them long.  I was so heartbroken when MQ acquired L&H and left shortly after. 
Any info on RADTRANS Radiology?
I am thinking of applying.
Who did RADTrans hire? I feel sorry for whoever it was.
That was the nastiesst recruiter I've ever heard of.
escribe solutions virginia beach - NOT THE INDIA ONE

I have an in-house interview tomorrow - anyone heard of or worked for this company?  I have been an in-house Transcriptionist making an hourly wage - so this work at home thing is new to me - I don't know anything about what I should accept if I get offered the job - can anyone school me?  ha ha  I don't want to get screwed, but I don't know what the average is for pay, lines per day/week, etc.  It's like a foreign language.  Also I don't want to take the job to work at home and spend a lot of time doing it and make no money.


I've said this before, but I'm ready to go sit on the beach and sell cheap stuff sm

to tourists ... has to beat this.  I passed burnout a long time ago.  I am not sure what the next stage is supposed to be.  However, in the meantime, I have to make a living.  Maybe I could open a margarita stand and compete with the little kiddies and their lemonade stands .. hmmm ....LOL



If you want to email me, please feel free. I am headed to the beach today through tomorrow :)
I live literally 1 block from the shore and have only been twice this year due to baseball with kids, my mother being in town for 3 weeks who does not like the beach and wants to be entertained all day long and a bout with the flu. I am going to take the rest of today and tomorrow and bake like a french fry!
anyone familiar with . . .

Electronic Medical Transcription Services?  Found them on MTJobs and would like some insight.  Thanks!


Familiar
Firday entertainment or just an owner / operator looking to get feedback - maybe if they are tired of annon bellyaching, they should post their company name and let us have it lol. Mnay of us do go to the people who bring us on as IC - but as an IC they state it is rheir company and they can do as they like - and sure they can - but without good MT they will not go anywhere but India. You owners must soon come to realize that we give your company it's good (or bad) name for the work WE do - you on the other hand hold checks, bounce checks, and give us grief for your own downfalls. Good luck to you all.
not familiar with D & L? who are they

I am not familiar with SH, so not much help there...
But I did use an Expander program that boosted my productivity b/4. That was great and it helped, but I needed to take the next step. With IT, it sort of thinks ahead for you. No memorizing the shortcuts...it works differently. If you type tpwa for The patient was admitted, IT automatically brings up several words and phrases that MIGHT possibly be used next, like: to the emergency room, to the hospital, in the past, and all you have to do is use 1 or 2 more Keystrokes to add whatever phrase is dictated. If you go to textware.com, you can get the lowdown. They also have a refund policy if it does not work for you. It took me a while to get used to it, but I love it now. I also use my expander in addition to IT. I have hospital, the, and, physician, etc. under my expander as well. Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I hope this helps.

Good luck!
Anyone familiar with LTS, Inc? Thanks

Anybody familiar with SFT
There is a job posting on the job board by this company. Anybody know anything about this company?
Most of the ones I am familiar with you
either save up your sick time or vacation time (if they give any) or take Family Medical Leave Act with no pay.
You would not do at 4 cpl but very familiar?
I think $20+ per hour now times is pretty good salary plus with my full retirement money from SS and retirement check, I come out ok. You as others on here are doubting Thomases but those are the ones who can't cut the mustard doing it and probably never will be able to do for a good paycheck. Funny thing but the most I see for VR is 4, some has fallen to 3 and yet you are familiar,,,,, hmmmm would not do for 4. Oh, that makes a lot of sense, never do for 4 and very familiar. Do those 2 belong in the same sentence? If you really were familiar then you as a longterm MTer would not a newbie could not do.
I'm Familiar But It Was
There has been a lot of restructuring there and things are still in a state of complete disorganization.  Upper management gives conflicting comments when asked questions or for clarification, turnover is high, pay for MTs has been cut repeatedly, QA requirements gets changed often, and the list goes on.......it was not a good experience and personally I'm not sure I would recommend them to anyone.  If you have more questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
Anyone familiar wtih QED
Does anyone work for this company? Does anyone ave any advice on this company?
that sounds so familiar to me
I wrote the QA director regarding one incident and made my case. We, MTs, use our fingers, ears, and most importantly, our brains. Somehow, the QAs forget that we have brains and can analyze what we hear.
Anyone familiar with EZ-Scribe? (sm)
Any comments welcome!
Anyone familiar with TRX, Inc? I have an interview

Anyone familiar with Inscribe or NTI? nm

Sounds familiar..
Sounds like we work for the same company! I started a couple of months ago. It totally feels like I've come home to familiar people who treat MTs with respect. I actually like working again after a nightmare with the squid as you put it. I will never go back there - they couldn't pay me enough. I'm happy now and feel blessed to enjoy my job again.
Anyone familiar with FutureNet?

Looks like I'll ditch Transcend to sign with FutureNet.  Archives have some good reviews on them whereas Transcend was completely trashed here.


Anyone familiar with DeVenture...
...I read the archived posts, but was wondering if anyone had any recent experience with them.  tia!
Only familiar with one of these -- Transtech

My first question is regarding holidays - how many are you required to work?  There are 6 holidays, but no pay unless you work that holiday.  Required to work either Thanksgiving or Christmas each year, switching out each year, plus work one other of the holidays.  ALL taken off WITHOUT pay.


What about weekends?  I know some companies offer a shift differential IF you WANT to work weekends. Required to work one weekend day each week.  The differential is so little that it is hardly worth it money-wise.


Another question is about PTO - do both TT and MDI offer this benefit?  PTO is offered at a percentage that is approximately 3 hours per pay period.  This is to be used for holidays, sick days, vacations, personal days, and OUT OF WORK DAYS -- ALL time requested off.  NO other time off offered with pay.  In other words, forget taking vacation, getting sick and holidays off all in one year -- NOT ENOUGH TIME OFF WITH PAY --- unless you can afford to be off without pay.


Last question is - are the work hours flexible?  Do both or either require working 8-hour shifts or does either offer a minimum line count per day and then you're done for the day?   No flexibility whatsoever -- as in a window to get work done.  Must adhere to schedule given to them EXACTLY!  You will be contacted by them if you are not on during your scheduled shift hours.  Lines don't matter -- still have to be on your complete scheduled shift no matter if you have 3000 lines done.


Also does MDI lease/rent/provide computer?  TT rents the computer to MT's.


Office staff are generally very friendly and call you honey, sweetie and says you guys rock if that helps in deciding which company to go with.


My..This sounds so familiar...

Sounds familiar
About a year ago, I went through the same routine you're describing, except I even went a step further and took thier test. I then got an email saying that I passed the test and someone would be getting back to me to discuss what accounts I would be working on and the pay scales for said accounts. One week went by with no word and when someone finally answers my many emails, I get the same answer you did, about how the hiring process had ended and they thanked me for my interest in thier company. Like you, I said WHAT???
Yes, it does sound familiar
Yes, I have to say if I didn't love my accounts and job at AX, I would have been gone a long time ago because of the supervisor. 
It sounds familiar to me
With the exception of the not logging the OT on your timesheet, it sounds like MQ.

I know everyone has asked you who you work for, so I will not. However, if it is the Q, you should do something. Even though the pay sucks because of VR, you have to be compensated for OT, and you have to log those hours.

Are you classified as an employee with the company you work for? Are you working FT with OT or PT with OT? I believe it is a violation of labor law not to get compensated for it. Some states, that is past 8 hours per day, some it is based on how many hours per week you work.

That sounds really fishy to me to be told not to put the OT on your timesheet. I just don't get that. You really need out and I wish I could help. I am working on getting a new position myself.

Some of these companies take FOREVER to get back to you. I put in a resume at one place in early January and just heard back from them last week. Keep your chin up. I must say, though, with 30 years experience, you should be making more than 8 cpl. I have 10 years and make a little more than you.
Sounds familiar....
Superior Globe actually pulled this same routine on me. I had just ordered a new computer when she called with the job offer. I told her I could start in 5 days, when the computer arrived. She said no problem. I sent her the specs for the computer which I had in transit and she cleared it with their tech department and said it would be no problem. I emailed her with updates on where the computer was and she responded great, couldn't wait for me to get started. I emailed her the day it arrived, very excited thinking I would be able to start on Monday (the computer arrived on a Friday)....

And, you got it, after all that hoopla, she NEVER emailed me back once I was ready to roll.

What the heck is wrong with these places???
Not familiar with CC Trans. Who is it, won't sm
be helpful in any way without company name,
That does sound familiar.
The first e-mail I got said I had 24 hours to complete their test.  I work for Q now and thoroughly hate it.  
Is anyone familiar with NetMed?
I am trying to find out if anyone knows anything about NetMed.  Are they US based?  Good or bad experience, etc.  Thanks
Oh boy, does that sound familiar
Mine are older now, 23, 18 and 13. Those were hard years when they were little. I used to work on and off, then end up staying up half the night working while they were sleeping. My husband worked evenings, and never was much help anyway. Even now, he is liking having another kid, interrupts me constantly. My 13 year old is finally starting to get the fact that the amount of work I get done has a direct effect on my paycheck and what I can buy her :)

That said, I wish they were still little. It is easier to work now, but everything else is harder, financial, worrying about them, etc.
Anyone familiar with SoftScript?
Is anyone familiar with SoftScript?  I am considering a position with them, but would like to be sure they are a reputable company.
Pretty big accusations if she is not familiar with you and your
company.  Also, if is isn't true, why are you scanning the boards to make sure nobody is saying things that aren't true?  Somthing is fishy here!!!!
He wasn't familiar with QA either, unless it was leaving
your blanks blank and being anal retentive about commas.  He worked for my company too until we all complained about him. 
Anyone familiar with Metro Transcription in (sm)
New Jersey?? I found a couple posts in the archives about a Metro Trans. in Georgia but can't seem to find info on the one in NJ...just wondered if anyone has ever worked for them and if they are a good company, steady work and pay, good accounts, etc...Thanks
Anybody familiar with Scribeix in Texas? nm

This rings familiar with another company...
called Proficient Transcription. The MTSO there charges for a foot pedal (you have to buy it from her directly, not on your own), and there are multiple complaints on the New MT board from people who never received their foot pedal from her either...weird. Could there be a connection?
if it's an impossible report for one to do, then it should go to someone more familiar with the d

Anyone using/familiar with Mededoc tasp?
This is a TASP for MTSOs.  They also provide transcription services to clients and hire MTs.  Just wonderin'.  Thanks
anyone familiar with NorthEast Transcription?
took their huge, lengthy, tedious, silly test...are they worth it?
Obviously the head of Sales isn't familiar with MT QA, either. nm
