Chronicle Transcripts in California? Good, bad? - jmt

Posted: Nov 12, 2009

Do they pay on time? What's the workload like? ESL? Platform? How is QA to get along with? Any opinions good or bad appreciated. TIA

I found them very unorganized and they take - MTlife

forever to answer any questions. I found the office staff very unprofessional but I think they were just there to answer phones. The recruiter was unable to answer any basic transcription questions and I didn't care for that. They did pay on time and QA was easy to work with though. I didn't like the platform and there were times when work was low to nonexistant but they expected you to flex and make up the time. It wasn't the company for me and I found a better company and have since left Chronicle.

Scale of 1-10, I'd give them a 2. - IC-MT

They did pay on time when I was there. That was the only positive I found.

A couple of other things too - Chronicle

You do not get set dictators. You are just in a big pool and you get whoever you get. Also there is no production bonus, so pretty much whatever you come on at you are kind of stuck at a certain rate of pay, so in that regard it is kind of a dead end job.

decent living wage at this company? I've gone through the archives and saw comments on the platform but some posts said those issues were resolved. It is possilbe to earn a good paycheck without working 18 hours a day? Do they really have nonstop work consistently or is this just a backlog situation? I'm on the fence and afraid to jump from one pot to another. Thanks for any insight. ...

I have been invited to test for them, but I wonder what kind of company they are. I have IE9 and they want an older version of IE for the test (yes, the dreaded MTTest), but I am just wanting to make sure if I test and get hired, it will all be worth it in the end. Are there any current CTI MTs here? I would appreciate any info! ...

It's been a couple weeks and I thought I'd provide an update for those wondering if this is for them. The pros as I see them are that they are very flexible, they pay fast and via Paypal, and they respect their staff. However, the work itself is a crap shoot. They have a nice feature that let's you listen to a half hour of it before you commit, but if you judge wrong, you are working for minimum wage, possibly less if you are overly contientious or just plain s ...

So I've been working for these 2 companies for about the past 2 weeks and I'm just wondering if anyone else who works for either one of them can give me any tips. I really like the work and the flexibility, but I am sooo S-L-O-W. I just did a file for Fox and it took me 3 hours to do 25 minutes of the file (very clear audio). For Net Transcripts it seems to take me about 4 to 5 hours to do 30 minutes of dictation. For me I find Net Transcripts a bit more difficu ...

Hi All! I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with New England Transcripts based in the Boston area. (This is not New England Transcription - I sent my resume to them too and really hope to get in because I hear they're good to work for). They do interviews and focus groups and stuff like that. Would love to stay in medical, but it's getting kinda scary. Anyway, I sent my resume and they immediately replied (not always a good sign). I foun ...
