New graduate - Experience in transcription is experience

I am posting because I have spent the past few days reading so many negative things on this board and a few positive things, but am very discouraged about MTing. My position is that I have graduated from a school (Career Step) that is accredited and one of the "top 3" I BELIEVE, but am not really sure now (can anyone tell me who those "3" are?). I graduated, but not with honors or high honors, Within one month, I got a wonderful job right out of the ...

Hi, Has anyone ever worked for DIT transcription or is anyone currently working for them? If so, can give me your experience with them? thanks! ...

After a few days of arguing back and forth with my CCM about feedback issues, audit keeping me from earning full pay, inconsistencies, I finally had a conference call with CCM and QA sup as well. I was angry, admittedly, wanted and was demaning to be taken off 100% for silly "critical feedbacks" (doctor clearly says "if" and you typed "is" CRITICAL FEEDBACK???.) Asked how in the world us MTs can be faulted for cruddy ASR and/or dictator problems! (no answer) Asked if eith ...

Anyone have any experience with TTS? It seems like reviews for all companies are pretty much the same and that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. ...

Anybody ever hear of these people or have experience with them? Their ad says they have plenty of work but can't find anybody to help. That right there set off warning bells. ...

Anybody have any experience with Landmark Transcription, good or bad? ...

I have become pretty miserable/bored lately. I know its the job itself and I know what the future holds for it, but I can't go back to school right now to try to further my education for something else because I homeschool my kids and that is my first priority. MT is just part time. I've been MT'ing for close to 15 years and have never done any other transcribing. I was just wondering if I wanted to venture out of medical and do general transcription w ...

Has anyone had any experience with The Transcription Doctors? Thanks. ...

Does anyone have any experience with USA Medical Transcription? I've read a couple of bad things about them. I don't want to apply to anyone who will treat me like I have been treated. I'm SO close to getting out of transcription and I'm a damn good transcriptionist! ...

Based out of LA. Appears they do both general and medical transcription and you must have a list of software. Looking for info on rates and whether the company is good to work for i.e., nice people who treat MTs with respect like we should be treated and communication. Thanks! ...

Anyone have experience with Precyse transcription? How flexible are their hours, cpl rate, etc.? ...

Wondering if anyone has any helpful information regarding We Type Transcription. Thanks ...

I had never heard of them before, and there do not seem to be many posts in the archives about them, but then again, maybe that is a good thing. Generally, you hear about the bad companies (which I realize is subjective), but not always about the good ones. Any information is appreciated. Thanks. ...

Has anyone had any experience with this company? I sent my resume for a job posting and was contacted right away. The fishy thing (to me anyway) was that they didn't even want me to TEST for the position! What is that about? EVERY MT position I have EVER been a candidate for has wanted me to test. But nope, I had a phone interview and the next thing I know I am being offered a position. RED FLAG? ...

I've searched the archives and come across ALOT of bad reviews on them (and a few positive ones here and there) but most of them are over a year old. I'd really like to get some views from MTs that currently or very recently worked for them. I know many companies have changed hands in the last year so things may be completely different now compared to 1+ years ago. Or maybe not. That's what I want to find out. I already know what thier payscale is, but I would like to know ...

I have been transcribing for 30 years mostly orthopedics. I want very much to do acute care transcription. Does anyone think I have a chance to get into it? I feel as though I am at a dead end if I don't do something different to further my career. I feel very qualified to do it. I took a good course from AHDI with cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, and surgeries through Oak Horisons. This was a very well-rounded course and covered everything involved. Thought maybe someone m ...

My neighbor calls me to help her get through the test for the company..Im like really,, if you cant get past the test how the heck are you going to do the job..No I wont help you..Im afraid she used me as a referal and no way would I refer her...A 6-month LPN course doesnt make you a transcriptionist, obviously, since she needed help with the practical part of the test that can all be googled anyway...So tired of people thinking because we work from the house that we are idiots and just typ ...

when I hit the search button, it just takes me to a blank screen. Not sure if it is a problem with the web site or my internet. Anyway, I was thinking I read some time ago that they did not pay for spaces or headers or footers and people were quite upset, but I might have them confused with another company. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. ...

Work has slowed down doing transcription in the entertainment business and I work for three companies. I've had discharge summary experience in the past with light radiology. Does anyone know of any companies hiring newbies for MT work? I can't stand not working. Type 85 wpm, use Word and Express Scribe and a digital foot pedal. U.S. citizen. ...

Is there anyone here in MT land that currently works for Summerville Medical Transcription or have you in the past? Curious as to your thoughts about this company. ...

I received a job interview for an IC position with a company called National Medical Transcription with headquarters in New York. Has anybody worked with this company? My main concern was that the company does not offer direct deposit but rather issues a check via mail. Next concern is a "transparent" means of tallying up productivity for 65 character lines and spaces included. I would appreciate any feedback from present or past contractors. Thank you. ...

Wondered if anyone has any recent experience with this company. Considering an offer but hesitant because of long delays in communication with HR. Thanks. ...

Hi, I recently spoke to someone from Turn Around Time Transcription. I had found their ad on mtjobs.com. Does anyone have any knowledge of this company? They use the Medrite XL platform and the owner told me all the transcriptionists said it was an easy platform to work on, but then I looked it up and MTs were complaining about the line counts being so low. Any info on either the company or the platform? Thanks, Kathy ...

Just graduated from MT school and I am having a lot of trouble finding a company that will hire with no experience... any advice?? thanks! Jenn ...

I have seen that some MTs work two or three companies at a time and during the same hours. Can you tell me if this was working with the same platform and same computer? ...

There is a hospital in my area that has 2 jobs I am interested in, one is a records analyst and the other is a records clerk. I am definitely ready to start working outside of the home, but I fear my MT experience will not help me much in getting one of these jobs. I am just wondering what you all think or if I should bother to apply. I am thinking they are going to want people with hospital experience. Thanks a bunch for any information!! ...

Hi. I was recently hired as an employee with MD-IT. I filled out all my paperwork, did my computer audit, background check, etc. and was supposed to call at 9:00 a.m. this morning to begin downloading their transcription platform. Well, I called and got voicemail. I left a message and have not heard back. To me, if you have an appointment scheduled, you should be available for that appointment. I'm sure they would expect nothing less from me. I real ...

I have been noticing that the experience level required to even get looked at for an MT job has went up. The 2 year experience mark has now went to 3 in most postings, and alot more postings are stating they want a minimum of 5 years. It is an up hill battle in an already hard market but with these kind of requirements I supose the seasoned MT's can rest a little easier and the newbies I guess can look for another line of work. I have already switched my gears and will finish my MA deg ...

I am trying to figure why I never get a call-back on job applications anymore. For instance I applied at one company who was advertising a week or so ago, I'm sure I did perfectly or almost so on the test, never heard from them, and yet now they are advertising again. My range is not great, mostly ER and clinic, so maybe this is the issue but I have applied for these positions recently to no avail. I have 16 years experience and I wonder if they think I will want too much ...

it's the old question - how to get acute care experience that everyone wants - when none of the local hospitals are hiring for MT (I've checked). I could try "cold calling" doctor's offices and see who does their transcription (unless they have some kind of digital chart system - fill in the appropriate boxes on their laptops - I think our family doc uses that system). I actually had "formal" hospital acute care training 11 years ago - so seems like a lifetime ago. Th ...
