Thumbs down.
They doc pay for errors. QA in India.  Pay was okay though.
Thumbs down
I worked for her in the past year - nothing has changed.
thumbs
I'm going by what I was told when I was offered a job with them a while ago. Why do you have to be so snippy?
Thumbs up
No major complaints; long time relationship.


Two thumbs up to MedWare from

thumbs down to Probity
What a mistake!  Two weeks of hell.  What a nightmare!  I'm done..... run, run away....
I would give it a thumbs up - nm

chartmatrix two thumbs up
I don't know about enterprise but I have worked on dozens of different platforms over the years and I do know that I REALLY like chartmatrix.
(oops) - "Two Thumbs UP"!

disappointed
It didn't take me long to see through the smoke and mirrors. I do believe their managers sincerely care but their hands are tied in many respects.

I wish you the best in your tough decision. Luckily for me it was not a difficult one.
Very disappointed
Had hoped of all the Nationals, this one had the integrity they purport to even know the definition thereof.  Bait and switch for sure.  Horribe QA, horrible communication, lack of integrity ... course, that seems to be the deal with most of these companies ... so whatever works for one may not work for another.  Where are reputable, honest, decent companies?  P.S.  Everyone I started with @ Transolutions left, including those with over 20 yrs experience.  Was very disappointed in their lack of professionalism and lack of organization.
very disappointed
I agree with everything you said and then some.  The only thing holding me is I need insurance and most places make you wait 90 days.  I've been an Editor for years and years and I've never seen the cluster that is the set up with these people.
I am just disappointed

Disappointed
Well I work for Transcend and I am very disappointed in the number of Indian transcriptionists.  I'm near retirement age, love the account I work on and make halfway decent money so I won't be going anywhere at least for now but this sure changes my opinion of the company.  How sad.
No I am not disappointed at all
I work for MDI and I get acknowledged every two weeks. It is called a paycheck. I am a professional and do not expect any kind of special weeks, rewards, or other things. In fact, I think MT Week is juvenile and silly. I really think (and no, I am not an MTSO) we should be thankful in this economy that we have jobs and not always have our hands out for gimme, gimme, gimme.
No, not disappointed

This is the sum total of what anyone knows about the poster who touched off all these comments.  She wrote: 


 ''Just when I get my creditors settled into dates I pay my bills, I will have to revert back to having to go to the payday loan for money. Twice a month is too long between paydays.''


Some of us have pointed out that with four months to get ready for this change in payroll method, a reasonably mature and disciplined individual ought to be able to prepare for and adjust to this change.  Others have suggested that we cannot possibly know what horrible circumstances (caring for a terminally ill relative was one possibility) getting paid every other week solves that being paid twice a month will not. 


The writer will have to ''revert'' to getting high-interest, short-term loans from payday lenders.  She has apparently gone this route before and then failed to take measures to see that she does not need to ever again.  And if she feels she must borrow money this way, it has to be the fault of somebody else (MDI/Transcend.)  Nope, nobody has convinced me yet that this is not an immature and blame-shifting person with poor money management skills. 


Next?


 


Disappointed, but don't know what the deal is
I had an interview set up today by Amphion at 9:00 a.m. - no call. Very strange - she called me Monday morning and asked for my schedule this week to set up an interview - I told her anytime, any day except Friday - she said Wednesday at 9:00 EST. OK, now it's 9:56 and still no call. I'm so disappointed - she said my testing was awesome, etc. - maybe I'll give them a call later and see what happened? Don't know.
I am very disappointed. I was going to apply there
I was going to apply there, but I will only work for companies that only use United States employees.

Thank you for the information.
what article?.....and why would I be disappointed?
nm
Sad, but true. Definitely disappointed in Transcend. n/m

I left MQ and went to Keystrokes...so far I am not disappointed..(sm)
I haven't run out of work and I love the account I'm on.  I think if my account did slow down there are plenty of others that are coming on board that I could be cross trained on. So far..so good!
Good Luck. You won't be disappointed! (nm)

I am with you. Left a while back. Very disappointed.

Oracle...nothing. Kinda disappointed.
I thought they liked us?
Do not believe that article about Spheris. You'll be disappointed.

Yes, I would have loved the job with Axolotl. I was very disappointed that I did not pass it.
I am never one to make excuses, but I honestly feel that the sound quality on my end must not have been very good as I did not hear some of the things that were in the report. I did feel it was easy also.  So, it's definitely my fault for whatever went wrong.
I am disappointed too, but then again, the new operations manager used to work sm

at Medquist, so obviously outsourcing would not be something unfamiliar to him.  I have worked with them for over a year, and I truly believed the family thing that was pushed, but it does not have that feeling anymore.  I need to talk to Tonya, but my gut feeling is to walk away, just scrape it off like something bad on my shoe and move on.


I'm sure you can find something else.  The great thing about this industry is you can always find another job.  It may not be ideal and exactly what you want at the time, but something to get by until the right one comes along. 


Good luck!

I was told that they do outsource a very low number of jobs, but I have yet to find very many who don't now.  At least they're honest about it.  They have different platforms for different accounts, and the one I'm working on pays for spaces, headers, footers, etc., and I really like it. They are hiring right now.

I am a radiology transcriptionist who has worked at a hospital for the past 5 years.  Due to medical reasons I can no longer make that commute every day and I'm looking for an at home job.  Reading through all the posts here is so discouraging.  If so many of you who have worked at home for years don't know who to trust, how do I ever stand a chance?  I haven't applied to any companies yet.  I'm hoping some of you who do radiology and are happy (or at least not miserable) can give me some guidance.  Thank you.

I think it is the same few people doing all the complaining. They all sound very similar.

I wouldn't worry about too much of it.

Start with the big nationals and see if you like them. If you don't, go with smaller nations, then MTSOs, etc.

I just went through all the posts and read them about Keystrokes.  I am an ex-employee of KS.  I want to know why some of these MTs are being so degraded like they are by current KS employees.  There are 2 different types of negative posters.  There is the disgruntled employee who likes to stir the pot.  Then there is the ex-employee who had real issues and problems with a company and posts their experiences and opinions about such.  I see many ex-KSers posting about just that.  Their experiences.  The things that they know best about KS, the things that happened personally to them while working there.  Then I see current KSers being combative in their words, degrading, very unprofessional and I am shocked. 


A Keystrokes employee, maybe management, has come on here and publically named quite a few names as the owner's of these negative posts.  Naming names publically without any knowledge or proof that is the person that they are naming.  There is no evidence based on any one of these posts that points unwaveringly that it is any of these people whose names have been flamed.  No one at Keystrokes can possibly know who they belong to based on the content of the post, as many, many ex-KSers have had the same complaints over the years.  It is simply impossible.  I find this very unprofessional and unethical. 


Lee has posted on this forum many times, lashing out, being nice, getting on her "soapbox."  But I am quite sure given the history that she has also posted on here without placing her name with the post.  I know that a current KSer has stated that Lee always posts her name with her post so that everyone knows it is hers.  But as any simpleton would know, you could post anon just as easily.  I want to know why any current KSer, or anyone else for that matter, would be surprised to think that people are considering Lee as the owner of some of these current posts since we have all seen how Keystrokes maintains a history of flaming people publically in a dirty, under-handed way.  It is too far a stretch to imagine that she could post hurtful things, untruthful things without leaving her name? 


I am sure that there are a lot of MTs that have a good experience at KS and can understand their wanting to defend their company.  But this does not take away from the very real fact that many have had some terrible issues with this company.  It is evident in the pattern that has long since been set.  There are too many MTs that state the same complaints over too long of a period of time.  No amount of good publicity can deflect from this truth.


I do know that if I so happen to see my name publically expressed on this forum by anyone at KS in response to any of these posts, there will be some serious repercussions for KS.  I think that this needs to stop immediately and the staff and MTs at KS need to buckle down and cool off and remember what it is exactly that they are doing.

This was the worst company that I have worked for in 30 years! Their platform is horrible! If you want to talk to Indians every day, then go work for them! This was not the company for me,


I could barely make 1300 lines per day, and I was on 4 accounts! Supervisor was like talking to a brick wall, I don't think she has ever transcribed a day in her life.


I tried to make it work, I really did, but when it came down to it, I have become acustomed to making enought money to afford bread and milk and wasn't going to be able to working at Heartland!  


See message--I put nm, but there was one
But the new platform SUCKS, and you can't edit 40% more lines on the new platform.  I would guess on average maybe 20% more lines, but definitely not 40% on an every-day basis--only when there are a couple of the better dictators on.  And even if I could, I would have liked to know ahead of time

I did not start working because I was NEVER TRAINED...how can you start working on an account and not have any training? I'm good, but not psychic for IDs and account specifics! What I'm leaving out is all the calls to the office and emails to the office, the cursing and tearing out of my hair trying to find a job again after accepting this position. I spoke directly with Lee - she hired me, and I felt she was someone I could work with....never more wrong in my life. Please don't start accusing ME of leaving something out when your company left ME out in the cold.
P.S. to see message
P.S. - by the way, all these messages will soon disappear as soon as someone tells the office, and they will have them all taken off so future job seekers will not see these warnings....just watch, happens all the time.

I have been in that situation and here is what I did..

I called the hospital to inquire of their transcription service they use, told them my situation, and they gave me the name of the company they are with as well as the person to contact and the contact number.

You should ask if there was a problem with quality or if there were any quality issues, just to be sure that was not the reason for it going with another service.

If that was the reason, they may be reluctant to give you any information.

Good luck!

In my case, it was $$$$ and they needed a full EMR, which the service I was with could not provide. They were very happy with the quality, and actually were pretty eager to get me to go with the new company.

Best of luck and I hope it works out for you.

Try Oracle (OTI).  They hire part-time, and everyone they hire is an IC.  Very nice people.  There is a lot of work all the time, and the pay is good too.

I worked for Medquist in California, so I can't speak for you where you are working.  You are an MT right?  Medquist is currently offering huge sign on bonuses to try to attract qualified people.  They are begging for people, so I think if you are half way good they are going to try every way possible to keep you with them.  I think they need people badly.  Have you been doing this a long time?  There are just so many advertisements for MTs that believe me be you will get a job right away if you are willing to work for little.  That is the unfortunate fact of it as far as I can tell.  I am slowly rooting around, sifting through all the bull shit, trying to find a place that pays well and has a little integrity, i.e., provides medical insurance for a not too many lines and is not just a bunch of uncaring liars who want to waste my time.  I just quit MQ about two weeks ago after being at the same company for the better part of a decade, even if they were not always MQ.  I took a huge pay cut.  I was being paid by the gross line and they had me buy a computer and then started counting the lines differently.  I do not know how they were counting them.  I had no way to verify it and I was just so pissed off I couldn't stand to work for them any longer.  I think you need to go to the drug store and pick up some Benadryl (its harmless and it will make you sleepy) get a good night's sleep and if you are still nervous about losing your job at MQ start looking around and comparing.  You'll be just fine and you will like working at home a whole lot better than putting on make up, getting dressed, fighting traffic, etc., to get into the office.  Good luck and good night.

We are not trying to be sneaky. An ad had gone on a website about four months ago, and even though it stated no recruiters, no services and no freelancers - guess what? TONS AND TONS AND TONS of what we asked NOT TO respond, did respond.

We are located in the northeast part of the United States. I know that when people hear northeast they automatically think SNOW!! But actually our winters are very mild here.
