Starting with MedQuist soon... - Posted By: more

I've been through training and was emailed earlier this week that by my hiring coordinator that she was submitting a DocQScribe user request and would update me as soon as I'm added. How long can this take, and should I email and find out what the status is? Since I'm new I don't want to appear overly annoying or anything. Should I wait it out a few more days or not?

Long distance - Posted By: Susie

Any new info on Unlimited Long Distance.  I have just signed on with MDI.  ATT giving me Unlimited plan but they will monitor my calls.  They said they would send me a letter if I do not meet their restrictions??  For business plan, you have to be dialing more than 1 number for it to quality... so confusing....

OSI and VR - Posted By: Charlotte Gardiner

Hi! New to the board, but not to transcription. I have just been offered a position with OSi that really doesn't sound bad at all. Right after that, a newish company called Deventure called wanting me to test. Their MTs do about 80% Escription and 20% regular transcription. everything I am reading suggests that Escription is more profitable for the MT (and I'm a fast reader and a good proofreader). Now I get to make decisions!

The OSI site suggests they are moving into voice recognition. Does anybody here know if they offer their transcriptionists that option, and, if so, how much per line? Thank you!!

Webmedx termination question - Posted By: txmt

Proscript -- Oncology VR account - Posted By: Jill

Would like to hear from someone who works on Proscript's recently advertised oncology account doing VR transcription.  Is there enough work, a lot of ESL dictators, pros and cons please.  Thank you.

Ready to scream!! - Posted By: Enough!

I need to vent!!  There is a certain co-worker who lurks, hovers, and then pounces whenever she sees good jobs coming up.  She waits until I am tied up with another job and then swoops in like a sniper and grabs them.  She does this over and over!  It is becoming so disgusting. 

Horizzon Med - Any info??? - Posted By: Rebecca

Does anyone have any info re: Horizzon Med???


There are no old posts about them and I'm quite excited to get started with them, but am also a little leary about giving out my info until I research the company from all sides.


So any info would be appreciated!



Anyone work on TransTech voice recognition - Posted By: old_MT

Considering switching to voice recognition, but would like to know how MTs working on it now like it.  Can you make your line counts without struggling too much?  Is it easy to learn?  I am being told that Dictaphone has improved it in the last month or so.  Feel free to email me if you rather not post.

non-IC status - Posted By: LH

Does anyone know of a company who is hiring PT status where you don't have to work as an IC? The taxes are just a pain to take care of and I would like to continue a PT job but just havent found a company offering anything but IC status.



NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it? - Posted By: TT low work

I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work.  This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession.  I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.

Company Testing....sm - Posted By: PM MT


Why do the MTSOs give us the crummiest dictators for application testing? I know it wouldn't be a challenge to our MT abilities if they all spoke like Shakespeare, but it seems like they do it on purpose...after lengthy applications, vocabulary tests, interviews, they give us dictation to pull our hair out.  They probably couldn't understand half of it themselves.  Why not reverse the process (lol), so we can save ourselves some time and effort?

TTD-Don't get it - Posted By: annon

Call me stupid (and I am sure some of you will) BUT I just do not get why everyone is so angry with TTD. 


I work there, have worked other places as well, and honestly find the owner to be the nicest, caring, person I have ever worked for. 


As far as pay is concerned, I think what she pays is like what everyone else pays....haven't seen anything TOO much higher.  I guess what I am saying is all of this just needs to stop and lets move on.  There are A LOT more companies out there that are way worse, and most of them start with a T and are NOT TTD.



Webmedx hiring bonanza and line counts - Posted By: Red

Webmedx has been hiring quite a few new grads lately for a brand new account. The expectation is for 150 lph after approximately one month. I find this more than a tad optimistic for brand new grads and, althought I've been offered a position with them, am just a little bit leery. Any thoughts anyone?

Is this scenario out there somewhere? - Posted By: Hopeful job hunter

I know this is a tall order, but are there any MT jobs like any of these scenarios:


Mon through Friday?


Tuesday through Saturday, with Saturday being only 4 hours?


Tuesday through Friday?


Being able to take 2 weeks vacation per year with any of these above scenarios?


Decent pay per line? (more than 7.5 cpl)


I need to start looking again, but don't know where to start.


Thanks to all of you!

Does anyone have experience with Medware out of Maitland, FL? Website looks great, but sometimes things are too good to be true... All the archive stuff is pretty old. I am looking for something with more consistent work. Thanks.

Easy tests versus harder tests... - Posted By: Decisions...

Having passed both and offered jobs at both, which company would you likely go for?  They both have the same basic benefits and line rates.  Would I be assuming that the harder testing will mean that the dictation is more difficult?  Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated!

Any one hear of Philbrick Transcriptions....sm - Posted By: passing through

I was wanting to know any good or bad on them, as I cannot find anything on them.  Thanks.

Current Transcenders, how much do you make per line and how much experience do you have?


Is 9.5 cpl any good?



appreciate any help - Posted By: feedback

The company who I am forced to be full time or 40 hours per week will be starting January 1.  I need or want a back up or second account because I love to work and 40 hours is not gonna do it for me.  I need some feedback on the companies.  I have been with the same for 20+ years now and have no idea what to expect.  I know none are perfect, but I do want to have work, and get paid on time! Any feedback would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

54 characters at 3.5 to 4 cpl doesn't seem to bad for editing.  Does All Type include spaces with this?

Application Help Needed - Posted By: TT Wannabe

I completed an on-line application and test for TransTech two weeks ago. After a week had passed with no response from TT, I called and the recruiter said they couldn't locate my application or test but that they would call back.  After not hearing from them for a couple of days, I started calling at least every other day until two days ago.  At that time, I called again, and the receptionist talked to the recruiter while I was still on the line and said they had found my app. and test and would call back within the hour. However, I have yet to receive a return call.  I'm certified and have 26 years of acute care experience and feel I did well on the test, but maybe the competition is stiff and I should take this as a rejection and move on.  Has anybody else experienced similar circumstances applying to TT?  Suggestions as to how I can get a response one way or the other would be greatly appreciated!



Diskwriter information - Posted By: mommt

I know they require a drug test and background check.  Do they also do a credit report?  Thanks for any reponses!
