I don't understand why everyone keeps letting Rapid Transcript advertise...SM

They have been doing this for years.  I had to nearly take them to court to be paid for two weeks worth of typing.  I can't believe that they are still getting away with this.  PLEASE, in the best interest of honest MTs looking for an honest day's wage, STOP ALLOWING THEM TO ADVERTISE ON THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OTHER MT JOB WEBSITE.  TIA

    Rapid transcript
    Anyone out there know anything about working for them?
    Has anyone heard of this company called Rapid Transcript?
    I need to know if any of you posters know of a company called Rapid Transcript of California (also called RTI); used to be called RTTS years ago.    I am checking around on their profile and business habits.  If you have any personal experience with them, please respond.
    I worked for Rapid (RTI)
    Started in January and still have yet to be paid. I have quit and have filed against them in small claims court. They owe me over $1000.
    Rapid Refund
    Has anyone tried any online rapid refund tax services.....
    Transcript USA
    Any information on Transcript USA transcription company?  Thinking about taking job.
    Transcript USA anyone worked for?

    Has anybody worked or work for Transcript USA.  They seem to be a good company, but I can't find any info on I-net other than their site (good or bad). Just like someone else's opinion about them. 


    Transcript for Allergist
    I have the chance to do some overflow work for an allergist on a short-term basis.  I've never done that type of medical transcription before.  I did listen to a sample tape, and it sounded like something I would be able to handle.   I was wondering if anyone here has done transcription for an allergist before and if it's a fairly easy speciality to adapt too.  I will get getting her macros and templates.   
    Transcript US, Spheris, AccuStat

    Does anyone have any current information about Transcript USA, Spheris, or AccuSTAT of Wisconsin?  I have13+ years and I'm looking to leave my current employer (six years at a national).  My eyes are swimming trying to figure out the ins and outs of these companies.


    Thanks so much!!


    Has anyone worked for Rapid Text? Any info would be great

    Advertise --get the word out
    It might be hard to pick up just a "small" account unless it is a stand alone doctor and then it has to be worth while to probably do pick-up and delivery.  But you just have to get the word out that you are looking and ready to take another account on board but be prepared to do tapes or digital.   Good luck, try chiropractors, psych or podiatrist if you want a smaller account. 
    I just saw a transcription company advertise

    Did this website also advertise or promote
    I have only been an MT for 9 years and it has changed dramatically in work and in pay since I first started. I myself have returned to school for another career (something I did not plan to do when I originally went for this), but I will continue to work from home as an MT (hoping my job lasts that long) until I get my degree. How long is your course? (I went to the local community college for 2 years) How much do you have left? Are you interested in doing this as a temp. position while you go back for something else maybe down the road if needed?
    FINE ADVERTISE ON MTSTARS
    ALL I WAS SAYING WAS THAT THEY GET TONS AND TONS OF RESUMES AND IT'S TOO MUCH TO SORT THROUGH BUT YEAH IT IS FREE AND NO IM NOT BASHING ANYONE MRS. ADMINISTRATOR LADY.
    Advertise in India & Pakistan, not the U.S.

    Cingular and T-Mobile advertise prepaid plans.
    nm
    Spheris offshores - they are not allowed to advertise on this site - sm
    I hope that helps in your decision making.
    It's obvious that MTSOs paying 10+ cpl don't advertise on any job boards I've seen...
    This board is anonymous and you would be doing your fellow MTs a great disservice by not sharing the names of all these nationals willing to pay that much per line. I'm about to be evicted so if anyone here would be kind enough to share this information, it would be greatly appreciated! If there are so many MTSOs paying at this rate, you shouldn't have to be concerned about job security by sharing the wealth.
    ROFL - it kind of reminded me of the Indian companies who advertise that all of their transcriptioni
    have degree, physiology, engineering, some are even doctors.  Yea, that convinces me that they could do this.
    Thanks for letting us know he's OK.
    That's good news. I will put his name on the prayer list at our church. I hope he is soon able to get back on his feet.
    I'm just letting you know that they are
    not as expensive as you were making them out to be. The big bags cost that much, not a regular purse, and I am not talking knock offs. I am not disagreeing with you though. Most all of these people have been poor their whole life. If you think that every one of them will take that $2000 and only spend in on things that they need, then you are disillusioned. To be honest with you, I am surprised more people have not wasted it on unnecessary items.
    Thanks for letting us know about this.
    These deals are great!  I just requested a catalog.  I will check this site before I buy software ever again. 
    OMG! Thanks so much for letting me know!
    /
    Thanks for letting me know!

    Thanks for letting me know!
    That's pretty much what I have wound up doing, too bad they couldn't come up with a better way to do that to make it easier, but at least I know that it's not just me!! I'm definitely not use to the automatic numbering that Word does. Fortunately not many of my docs do this subset thing, but there are a couple, and one that even dictates i. ii. iii. under a.b.c., that almost had me pulling my hair out trying to get those lined up!
    Thank you for letting us know.
    I was one who posted trying to help. I'm glad to know that you were finally able to get it to work; you're information may also be helpful to someone else in the future with a similar problem.
    Thank you, for letting me know I am not the only one...
    doing this quickly so I do not get the 'boot' again!
    I stopped letting them do that.
    Too many times they had inexperienced techs who messed everything up.  Once my computer crashed because of what they did.  Another time, another company, they deleted a program and nothing would work right.  Just because they say they are a computer tech does not mean they know anything.  Many do not even have a certificate, just a litle on the job training. 
    Thanks for letting me know there are people out there

    on both sides of the fence.  Yeah, I know the consequences and the possiblities.  I live with them every day.  I guess I have not been as good a planner as many of you have been.  It kind of snow-balled me before I could get a grip on it.  I think not having a good tax guy for 10 years did not help.  But any solutions to getting out of debt with the IRS would be greatly appreciated.  Like they say Two things are for sure, death and taxes.  No way around either.  I have heard that some people cheat the goverment every year with not reporting income and stuff and never have to pay nothing because they make a living under the table.  The penaty I get for reporting and filing and having a husband that works a good job is garnished wages and liens.  No one wants to work out payment plans that you can live with. 


    I don't mind letting one use it but....nm

    sounds like you are letting them run over you. sm
    you are going to have to stand up and say look in order to keep those accts, keep work flowing to you, and money to all of us, we have to meet our requirements. the more you let them lax, the more they will do it. no one likes to be ridden either, but at some point you have to say something or it will only get worse. maybe start pulling some of their work from their assigned acct and giving it to those one or two who are productive on thurs/fri and the others will get the hint to get their work done or you will get someone else to do it.
    You did take off from work, without letting anyone know
    You flew out of town and now something does not work? If I were them, I would be upset without a notice. You do not sound responsible because if you were, you would have thought out about your work before leaving unless a dire emergency and then you probably would have notified your company.
    Just letting you know what I found
    This site is very reliable. Luckily I barely use my cell phone so hopefully if it true I won't be effected.
    There is nothing lost by letting them know

    We are all human.


    If they take you back, then give it a while before looking for a new position, and then when you leave the next time, you'll know to have it all in place before giving your notice.  Don't fall for these "must start right away" advertisements for jobs.  They are a buncha you know what.  All companies have at least one MT to cover until they find a new hire.  Nothing happens overnight! 


    Your other option would be to start applying and testing with other companies.  I remember Transcend being really quick to get me equipment when I worked for them.  Another idea would be to post your resume here and you may get offers if you haven't already done so.  Oh gosh, I feel so bad for you.  Please let us know how you make out.  What a pickle; but you can still transcribe, so you should be okay as long as you can pick up something really soon.


    OMG. I'm never letting my legs out of my sight again. LOL.
    nm
    Its the MQ way. I have my way of letting them know I know they are lying. I hate being BS around.
    :
    I'm gonna do all of them! Thanks for letting me vent!
    :-)
    Try covering with mayonaise and letting sit...
    for a few hours/over night; then wipe off. 
    More surprising is what the parents are letting them do. sm

    My daughter is in 6th grade.  There is a girl in her class who is ELEVEN years old.  Now keep the age in mind for a minute here.


    This 11-year-old girl has piercings in one eyebrow, one side of her nose, her bottom lip, her tongue AND her belly button.  Both ears are also pierced all the way around with about 12 studs in each ear.  She wears full makeup and tight, low slung jeans. She told my daughter that she is getting a tattoo for her 13th birthday.


    Sort of a "teenage right of passage" so to speak?  After all her parents have pretty much run out of things to give her permission to do.


    I've met the "parents" and it's obvious that the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree.


    Shall I suggest a uvula piercing for her big 13th?


    I am confused here, you are leary about letting - sm
    young kids drive, but you allow your 14-1/2-year-old to drive? Not only is this illegal, it is nuts. I hope you just made a typo and are not actually allowing your underage child to drive. You will both get in a lot of trouble if you are ever caught, which I hope is the case if she is underage.
    Is there a chance the other cat(s) aren't letting her use the litter box? sm
    That is a problem in my multicat household. Some of them will chase the cat who is eliminating in the wrong place so she can't use the box. They'll even hide in the area of the box and pounce on her when she tries to relieve herself. You can try putting boxes in different spots or different floors of the home. Good luck.
    Letting Physician hear her own dictation
    I had two bad dictating Rads, one who said "period paragraph" in the middle of a sentence throughout the entire report and another who threw up the films while dictating, as his handset was placed on the counter. There was no OM to talk to, it was me and after asking them repeatedly to fix the problem, they tried with no improvement. So I typed the report exactly as he dictated it and gave it to him for signature. He never said a word to me about it, just redictated clearly and never did it again. With the other, I walked into the reading room and played the tape for him and asked him if he wanted me to send the dictation to the referring physician so that he could figure out what he was saying. You would be surprised how quick these guys got their act together. But they really did not think there was a problem until it was presented to them. Maybe she needs to hear what it sounds like. She may not think its so bad. I say copy and send the bad dictations with the letter. Leaving out those things mentioned above.


    You make 25-30 an hour by letting the editor do your job for you dumba$$!
    You will get yours in the end sweetie. Having someone else do your job shows you are lazy!!
    Oh my you would have Amherst in a scramble letting their reports get 2 hours old. Gee, they would
    have no clue what to do. Probably sit up all night and watch the system or MAYBE do them themselves to keep the 1 hour TAT. Yep.
    I agree with not letting our children watch crap; however,
    I think some people are a little too sensitive when it comes to TV. Being someone who supports gay marriage, shows such as Will and Grace do not bother me. I don't really watch much TV though. The only show I love is CSI, but I rarely have time to sit down and watch it.

    On the other hand, I have a huge problem with a network that allows many animals to be killed just for entertainment purposes and a problem with people who think that this is okay for some reason. It's pathetic. If that were dogs or cats floating around in that water instead of rats, people would be throwing a fit. What is the difference??
    lol... that's funny. that's what I'm talking about, letting your fingers loose and not wor

    I've been letting them stay up pretty late, so they sleep until 10:00.
    Still, they get bored in those two hours between getting up and my finishing work at noon.  Goofy kids.  I do have them in band, but it ends this week.  Maybe a day camp for a week or two.  I think I'll haul them off to the library for some books.  The only Y or rec program in town is in the rougher neighborhood, and they only offer certain scheduled classes.  Thanks for the tip!
