Inquiring about ALL TYPE INC sm

Was wondering if anyone had good or bad comments regarding this company?  Would sure appreciate feedback either way ASAP as I am considering applying.  If possible, please put "all type" in subject line if emailing me.  TIA


You are inquiring about MedScribe
and yes, they have the 12-hour window for acute care MTs however that is for full-time positions only, not for part time.  Hope that helps.
If you are inquiring because of that job being offered, consider this.
The ad says there are 25 lines per page.  If you divide 1.25 by 25, you'd be making 0.05 per line.  I don't think that is reasonable even if the voice system is very audible. 
inquiring minds want to know.
Does anyone know anything about Transform?
To the MTSOs inquiring on this thread...
I wouldn't worry about what these negative posts say, for many reasons:

... It could easily be just 1 or 2 people who have a bee in their bonnet today; no one knows the true number of posters here

... It could easily be people who are not even MTs but friends/families of MTs or just bored poots looking to cause trouble

... No one, hear me, no one makes any MT work for any company. They are free to leave, are they not?

... I have not had the experiences with MTSOs that these people are talking about; in fact, quite the opposite so I think this is just a group who are probably not even mediocre at this

... Not one of these posters knows what it takes to run an MT business. I do. I had one and it was very successful. They don't know the incredible competition out there. They don't want the full responsibility.

... They are not willing to sign their God-given name to anything. They come here in absolute cowardice and sling their words around but if you ask them to pony up facts and ask who they are talking about and their own ID...nadda. Nadda.

I've done this work a long time, MTSOs. I've even been one. There are always going to be a few low-barrel companies but every line of work has that. For the most part, I see MTSOs on the up-and-up, offering good pay for good work. If an MT is an excellent worker (i.e., keeps the schedule, does the production and has the quality), most MTSOs will do what it takes to keep them.

... Everyone has a price and theirs is too high, in my opinion.

Now, all the naysayers can fire away. Said my opinion. :)

There is nothing wrong with inquiring here for information on a company. sm
A lot of useful information is exchanged here regarding other MT's experiences. 
Fast Chart, TAe software? Inquiring MT needs to know......

I am thinking about signing on with them, but need to know exactly what TAe software is?  More specifically, I am hoping that it does not ruin my Windows XP and my MS Word 2002 already in my computer.  My understanding is that it is a stand-alone software, maybe proprietary?  It is made by Arrendale Associates is all I really know.  Is is user-friendly?


Thanks for any information on this. 


I would call or drop an email inquiring.

Inquiring minds are a terrible thing to waste so here

For inquiring minds, I do not think any of the following information is confidential, since it is on the court website for anyone to look at, but I found it fascinating and think some of you may also.


 


The Transtech case has been transferred to Federal Court, US District Court in Texas, because of two or more different states being involved (TT is in Texas, Defendant is in another state, and the five Jane Does can be anywhere in the world). 


 


This information can be publically obtained on the Federal Court Website – PACER. 


 


While I was there, I checked out some of the other Libel/Slander cases that had Closed or Settled to see what the timeline was and how they were settled.  They ranged anywhere from 3 to 6 months, from date of filing with the Federal Court to date of closure. 


 


I found it curious that on most other filings where the Defendant was not known, they used JOHN Doe, but TT used JANE Doe, assuming that everyone who posted on the MTStars was a female.  Or maybe, all TT hires are females? 


 


There were two other cases that really interested me.


 


One was for a Travelscream Technologies who filed suit against John Doe, Defendant.  It was filed on 10-15-2008 and closed on 01-20-2009.  They were asking $100 million against John Doe because of comments posted on two website.  Apparently John Doe posted: (1) Tranvelscream is just the latest scam by a group of con artists…  (3) Beware of Traveloscream. 


 


The Plaintiff had to DISMISS the case because THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHO JOHN DOE WAS!!!!!


But left it open to refile if they could ever identify the person.


 


 


The other was for a Beauty Signature Group who filed suit against another company.  The complaint was not on file so I could not read what the allegations where.  The suit was filed on 04-16-2008 and was Settled on 08-12-2008.  Again, the Settlement papers were not filed, so I do not know what the outcome was, but some of the other cases only wanted retractions and no more posting of remarks by the Defendants, so there may not have been any actual money involved, except for court costs, etc. 


 


So, this could all be over by Christmas.
