Transportal uses Scribe platform, not a lot of keyboard functions with this platform. You also spend a lot of time - that you DO NOT GET PAID FOR - searching different databases for patient and physician information, as this information does not populate in automatically when you open a document; this being mainly due to the databases not being interfaced with the program (again this is just my thinking)and also the databases are not kept current, so a lot of times you have to check websites for up-to-date information and this also takes a lot time that is also time NOT PAID FOR and these issues significantly cut into your production.

On some accounts you have no databases for the referring doctors and have to do the copying and pasting of the referring doctors from specific websites that you have to log into and copy and paste each address for copies (this can sometimes be as many as 3-4 doctors per report) which can take more time to do than the actual transcription time of the report itself (between 10-15 lines each).

The cpl is right along with all the rest, LOW for all the unpaid looking up info, coping and pasting into the report...on and on...I'm sure you get the picture.

Lastly, some accounts, IMO, are overstaff and you do run out of work and have to flex to get your lines. If you are willing to flex then you can make the minimum production usually.

Don't know anything about TTS or Softscribe. Hope this helps.

Thanks - Jes

Keystrokes And SoftScribe
Sep 20, 2012

Can anyone tell me anything about the above 2 companies.  I have a phone interview next week with SoftScribe and am waiting for a call for interview with Keystrokes.    I'm currently working in a hospital who has decided to outsource transcription.   The company they chose is Mediscribes, who would give us jobs as employees, but we have learned that have not been forthcoming with information, keep changing the answers to the questions we ask and have even lied to us. &nb ...

TransPortal --- RUN!!
Mar 29, 2011

Just got hired with them... and I'm on my last day of the first pay period... and let me tell you!!!   If you get an offer... RUN!! It sounds good, but is far from it!  Their sound files are horrible, they don't pay you any kind of training pay ( which I mistakenly MISSED on my part!! oops.. won't make that mistake again), and only give you LIMITED WORK while on QA review which amounts to like 200-300 lines a day!, and.... they have no account specifics whatsoever f ...

What Is Up With TransPortal?
Nov 21, 2012

I am very good in orthopedics, have done quite a bit in my many years of transcription, did well on the tests as far as I could tell, but got an email that I didn't qualify. Now I see they have another job posting for the same job. What's up? Is it hard to get a job with them. Seriously, orthopedics is my thing and I am well experienced at it. I applied again just in case. Any infro anyone can give on getting a job there? Are they just hard to get a job with? ...

What's Up With TransPortal (IC) ???
Jan 03, 2015

pay 8 cents a line?  This is awfully low for an IC position isn't it?  I mean, when you are IC don't you have to pay your own taxes and have no benefits at all?  So in essence it's a lot less than 8 cents.  Are they out of the their minds or is this how long IC jobs are paying now?  Around 10 years ago when I considered an IC job it paid 13-15 cents a line to offset.  ???? ...
