Does Transcend outsource? - PT

Posted: Nov 28, 2009

Is it true that Transcend outsources to offshore transcriptionists? I'm with MDI as it merges with Transcend, and if this is true, I don't want to condone it by staying with MDI as it becomes Transcend unless I absolutely cannot find another job.

Yes, they admit to outsourcing, usually at night, but... sm - tj

would not do so much of it if they had more of us willing to work at night, or at least that is what I was told by the ROM.

they could not find enough US transcriptionists to fill the jobs. This was run in the Atlanta newspaper about 2 years ago and someone should still have a copy to give exact wording on this. The CEO stated not enough MTs.

I work nights - PT

I do understand that if they mainly only use for night coverage, especially with the time difference. I'm the only night coverage on my account at this point. I'm single with no kids, so it's fine with me. Weekends, too. Wish there were a bonus, though :)

Nighttime coverage - MDIMT

I work for MDI and work the night coverage, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. 2 nights per week,and I was sure there were others covering most every night of the week on all accounts. I think we get paid differential for working hours after midnight.

Why they outsource - anon

Because they CAN. Because they do not care about American jobs for American workers. I would not work for such a company.

which is fine, but don't put the rest of us down who need to work.nm - anon but like a paycheck

I just have a personal belief that people who value their country do not work for people who offshore. Period. And believe you me, I need to work as much or more than anyone else. I have a special needs child. I also need to be able to look at myself in the mirror and know that I did not participate in the sellout of America.

When I worked there my account was entirely SM - Anon

outsourced. However, this was after the hospital had contracted with eScription, and we were told it was the hospital's decision to cut the rate it would pay an MTSO to outsource level. Transcend could service offshore or lose the account. At that time it seemed to me that a lot of eScription-associated companies were starting to outsource, though I haven't been watching what's been happening since.

Is there ANY company out there that does NOT outsource ANY of their dictation? I usually don't mind ESL dictation except when it's ALL I get anymore. I work for a company that is being bought out by another company and right now, the only work I get or that is left to type, are the crappiest dictators out there. This is the dictation that cannot be sent out as a voice recognition file OR for straight typing simply because it's crap dictation. I've been ...

I can sign on with them, but they're strictly BOS 3. I'm still in the dark ages with BOS 1. How much time am I going to spend with my head in the book? What things should I focus on (re)learning first? Also, what kind of paperwork do I need to take care of, line counts, billing? Do they take care of that? All I do with my current company is submit my online line count at the end of the pay period, and two weeks later I get a deposit in the bank. This is the only IC position I&# ...

Company I worked for recently outsourced us to Nuance, and now I'm wondering what the likelihood is that they will, in turn, outsource our entire account overseas? Do they pay less to their people who work overseas? Something's in the air recently - just in the past week or 2 - among me and some others on our account, and it just seems weird. We're getting harrassed more, we're getting more major errors marked BY FAR than previously, and some have even been threatened with be ...

Also the reduced sales tax revenue. And loss of medical insurance. It has been said tha ...

Did VR develop Alzheimer's? It has lost everything. I am tired of no commas, periods, and everything else it reverted back to since its infancy. It is really true that now you can transcribe faster than you can edit. Does anyone even care? Do you know how many times you have to stop in the middle of labs to put in punctuation? This has been going on for over a month and I haven't noticed any big push to get it fixed. Just another way to m ...

I am curious as to if the TLs are meeting their requirements. They are expected to type 75-80% of their time and get paid by the line as well . I am very suspicious that they are not typing VR all day, having their work sent to India, etc, and are getting the straight typing. They get paid a flat fee per month for their administrative duties on top of that. I wonder if they are experiencing no work and looking at a blank screen most of their time& ...

job ad on the Seeker's board and it sounds like a place I would like to work. I work for a company also called Transcend, but they are not a place that I would recommend to anyone. I haven't worked all week as there has been no work. Just NJA. So maybe this Transcend is in a parallel universe. It certainly could not be the same place where I'm employed. ...

Mar 28, 2010

I have read dozens of posts on the board about Transcend, some good and a lot not so good. However, I think there is an explanation for some MTs loving it there and others hating it so much. Transcend is a company made up of many other companies through mergers. The original Transcend who existed first, before acquiring other companies seems to be the problem. On the other hand, for example MDI/Transcend, for the most part does not seem to fit that description. You have to remember ...

I'm coming to the realization that unless I get faster with editing these VR reports, I am never going to be able to make the full-time production requirements at Transcend. I'm really freaking out. Is it really possible to do 300 lines per hour in VR? How long does it take to get faster with it? ...

Google Star Clip Itz Note Holder w/ Metal Rod & Alligator Clip to see exactly how much it cost Transcend per MT for this gift that bears so much thought and appreciation. Do they really not realize how it affects their corporate image when their priority is placed on spending $600,000+ on a failed business venture versus the amount spent to "appreciate" the motor that makes their business run? That's like spending more than a half million dollars to buy a garage to hous ...

Did anyone else get the memo from Transcend (soon to take over from DTS) about the line rate change for the transitioning employees from DTS? It was elegantly written, but basically it said that when the accounts are switched over the VR that the line rates will decrease but productivity will increase and no cut in pay is expected. It is happening exactly how the posters on this board that have been through takeovers by Transcend said - decreased pay. I gave my notice already BT ...

I have a phone interview with Transcend out of Atlanta and TTS out of New Hampshire today and next week. I've been working for the same MT company for over 8 years, but they're losing accounts and cutting our pay so I'm looking to possibly change jobs. Has anyone worked for Transcend or TTS? I'm scared to death to change jobs at this point. I know the problems and shortcomings of my current company. I switched jobs once before for a few months and found that all the promises ...
