American MTSOs? - anon
Posted: Jul 23, 2014
Okay, so are there ANY companies that are actually owned by Americans who live in America? Everyone says they are only hiring from within the U.S., but that doesn't mean the owners are American. Someone here said one company (Diskriter?) was purchased by "an Indian couple." Why wasn't it purchased by an American couple? Why aren't Americans buying MTSOs? What's up with that?
I guess there are some savvy Indian business people with lots of money. nm - This American is broke

[ In Reply To ..]Synernet, Keystrokes, Amphion and Opti-Script are a few I can name that are American owned, I think Nuance is American owned. Why aren't there more? Expensive start up costs and maybe because there is no future in medical transcription. Why do Indians purchase MTSOs? Cheap labor for one thing; even American owned companies send work overseas.
There is not a level playing field. Sm - Oldie
[ In Reply To ..]Offshore companies do not have all of the government regulations so they can pay what they want to foreign transcriptionists.
For example, when the ACA was passed, I called my senator, Mark Warner from Virginia, asked the office rep if the Indian companies that employ more than 50 US citizens had to abide by the regs to provide benefits. I was told they did not, but even more disheartening, when I noted that would encourage our jobs to be sent overseas and asked if they thought that was a good idea, they said YES,IT'S GOOD FOR GLOBALIZATION. I could hardly believe my ears. He's up for reelection this year, but has already out-raised his opponent, si I guess we get what we vote in.
I pray to God that Mark Warner does not get - reelected
[ In Reply To ..]He is selling out his constituents by supporting policies that encourage unemployment, underemployment, and poverty wages here in the U.S. He should be ashamed of himself.
Typical democrat MO. - I agree with you.

Afro-American Versus African-American
Nov 17, 2012
Afro pertains to a "hair style" usually worn by black people or African-Americans. African-American refers to a group or nationality of people whose decendants originated in Africa. Has anyone ever been corrected on that when getting audited? Just curious. I see this a lot. P.S. Not trying to stir the pot or offend anyone so please, no racial slurs or offensive posts. This is a ligitmate question. How do you type it? or do you think it matters? ...
Buying American
Oct 19, 2009
Hey, Everybody: In the spirit of solidarity, if we want support for our cause, then we might want to consider supporting other industries in America. There are places to "Buy American" on the website. We shouldn't support Big Box Stores that import everything and make a killing as well as treat their employees like chattel. You know who I am talking about. If we buy into the theory, "Oh, but it's so inexpensive to go there," then we are just as bad as the tran ...

American Workers Have Changed--And Not For The Better
Nov 08, 2011
I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore. &nbs ...

I'm not exactly a spring chicken and apparently in order to move there you need to either have a pension/social security and/or an income (appare ...

If American MTs Get QCd To Death, How In The World

are MTs from India doing well? I was born and raised in the U.S., I was an English/writing major, and I'm QCd into the ground, which makes me wonder - how the heck are people from India and other countries doing as MTs? Can they REALLY do better than those of us who grew up speaking the language, have spent years doing MT, especially since some of us are English experts (and probably ALL of us are English experts compared to those in India)?! What is going on here, seriously? ...
MM - Corporate/American Greed

All that matters to companies nowadays is how much money they can make for their stockholders and for their yearly bonuses. They dont care about the American worker anymore. In India, when they want to fire you, they have to take into account the family you are taking care of, will you be able to get another job. America? They will throw you out on the street without a notice and not give a darn. In my town, the main hospital wants to let Chinese women come over to Ameri ...

It never ceases to amaze me, in an absurd kind of way, how companies can place job ads for positions and ask for bilingual/foreign language to be a major qualification here in the US of A!! This is an English-speaking country, and I resent the fact that these companies can make these requirements on us who are US citizens and English is our first language! They want our expertise in work ethics, but we need to learn their language in order to apply for a job with them; how ...

American Health Connection Review

American Health Connection has posted for staff/agent jobs on MTDaily and MT Stars. They are very pleasant people with whom to work for sure. The trend these days is to outsource hospital patient registration and companies such as this are taking off big time. Having started training with them, I have had nothing but trouble...at first I was told my bandwidth was fine, only to learn that I needed 40-50 download speed and at least 10 upload speed. Had to switch to a new provider, however, ...
