I don't know if there are any left. The smaller companies that still have straight typing would be what I would want. I only worked for Spheris and Nuance. Softscript sucks, TTS sounds like it sucks. So you gotta start the process of deduction. Good luck. I personally would like on your local newspaper on line and start looking for something you're qualified for. Also look at your local hospitals and look for jobs you can qualify for. Some of them are really hard to get into. They want you not to smoke and will test you. They want a detailed list of professional references. But I would not even want to work for a transcription company unless it landed in my lap and was straight typing. You can work at Walmart and make more money than what these goofy MTSO's pay.

True - was just taking a shot in the dark here. EPIC's killing us, like we all know, and I think I'm just flat out getting tired of the whole transcription world and fighting for work. Maybe time for a career change - would love to get into billing but don't have time to go back to school and one's hard pressed to find a hospital/office that will train you. So tired of bull@#%^! Uuugh! Thank you for your thoughts. :)

Sometimes, I'm ashamed to be an MT - sm

I remember a time when people would help someone who was out of work/looking for a better job. They would help to get them a job with their current employer. This field has become so cut-throat, sometimes I'm ashamed to be a part of it. Maybe if we all only applied at the "good companies", the rotten, greedy MTSOs would have to raise the rates they pay us and create a little competition to get the good MTs to work for them. Instead, they lower their rates and people are still flocking to them. There was a time when good MTs could name their price. If no one worked for the sweatshops, they would have no choice but to change their attitude. I know, I know...you're saying "but we need to work" or "we can't afford to wait for the good companies to hire us." If you think about it, you're sitting there not getting work half the time anyway. When you do get work, the pay is so low it is hardly worth it anymore. Time for things to change in this field...and it won't be done by stabbing each other in the back.

Nice try - Nobody will tell

I would suggest looking at archives and new posts for good and bad companies. You're not going to get very many people volunteering the names of their "good" companies, as they wouldn't want new people taking work away from them.

The answer to that is probably going to be different, sm - MT2

because we've all had different experiences.

This is so subjective that it is really impossible - To answer

What works for some does not work for others. Different MTs all have different ideals as to what makes a company "the best."

In fact, I've been frequenting this site for a number of years now, and I honestly cannot recall any MTSO that gets 100% positive reviews across the board, because everyone's experience with each company is unique to them.

I would suggest deciding on what you yourself would find ideal working circumstances, narrow it down to a few companies through research, and then perhaps check the archives here to see the most recent consensus on said company.

It's kind of like that old adage about one man's trash being another man's treasure, if that makes sense.

Good luck in your search!

Thanks! - Anon
