Now that the archives seem to be back online, you can search. You will find everything running the gamut, from people like me who are perfectly happy working for Transcend, to people who will tell you that this company is Evil Incarnate, they probably roast babies on a spit for breakfast, and they'll steal your soul for dessert.
A great deal, of course, depends on which accounts and supervisor(s) one gets assigned to. Just like any other company. My sister has a friend who works for (gasp) "The Q" and is perfectly happy there, because she has great accounts and a wonderful supervisor. I guess it's just the luck of the draw, plus whatever a person is willing to bring to the table.
I would certainly encourage you to go ahead and apply at Transcend. They might even be looking for someone to help out on the team I work with. Assuming you pass the testing, once you've had a chance to talk to the recruiter, you might be in a better position to decide whether this company would be a good fit for you.
Other than that... feel free to e-mail me if you have more specific questions that I might be able to answer.

I've been with Transcend over 5 years. They have been absolutely fantastic to work with. I've been through health issues, family deaths, low work loads, etc.,and they have always been willing to work with me on rectifying the situation. I would recommend them highly. They absolutely care about their empolyees. In my opinion, it's a great company to work for.
Does Transcend send out announcements about their Quarterly Earnings Conference Call? Anyone want to eavesdrop?
Transcend Sets Date for 4Q 2009 Earnings Release and Conference Call.

Any info you could give would be welcome. Considering applying but not sure what to expect. I realize there are naysayers in every company, but I'm just curious about actual stats, such as how many lines per day required, rough pay, etc.
Thanks in advance to anyone w/ honest info. ...
I am looking for info on Transcend as I am not finding anything current in archives. Email me privately if you wish, I don't want to cause any commotion.
What do they pay, what is their platform, is there any straight typing accounts?
I am trying a new strategy of holding a few PT jobs to avoid my family starving.
Thanx ...
Still looking for any info on Transcend, BeyondTXT, and what do they pay for straight transcription versus VR. Current employer considering outsourcing to this company, and would like to find out what I can. You may also reply to me by e-mail if you wish. Thank you. ...
Ok so I read the whole entire "packet" and all of the info on the web site. I still feel like I am missing something. There are forms to fill out in order to get benefits, but I can't seem to find anywhere just how much out of pocket we are to pay for these benefits. Did anyone see this info anywhere?? ...
News found on Google: Nuance "extends" offer to Transcend, evidently it is not yet a done deal, here is a link:

Here it is - chosen wording - ambiguous production pay and benefit plans "will be reviewed." I, as may other Transcend employees - have a current line compensation rate of 9.5 cents per line on straight transcription; some much higher - having been hired with heavy - over 80% ESL. Nuance MTs - what do you think the chances are we will "retain" our current line rates - WITHOUT Escription. All responses warmly welcomed.
From Letter to Employees - last week A ...
it is not transcription friendly, almost antiquated. I have considered switching to BeyondTxt, but don't want to do VR after my experience with Medquist. I know Medquist has a horrible VR program and Transcend's is supposed to be better. Have any of you used both platforms and can compare Bayscribe to BeyondTxt? Also, how does your VR production compare to transcription? I would appreciate any input. ...
Need to know any info ASAP on I think its called Global Info Systems or something like that out of Texas. Lots of clinic work, but low low line rate offered. Need to know about management, stability, VR reality, workload, response from tech support, etc. Also, are these clinics in India? Thanks for any help! ...
It isn't easy to get off some of the spam and phone call lists when you click for more information about some of these courses. I've found that for me, it isn't worth it to get that information if I am giving up my privacy. Some of these people are relentless! You can't get away from them once they get your information.
There is one in particular that makes sure you hear from them every day in one form or another. They become your best friend, even if you weren't lookin ...
I am testing with GIS this evening, does anyone have any information on this company.
I am currently working with TTS, they do not even pay 4 CPL for editing. I feel like this business has become a legalized form of slavery. The only business where with over 10 years of experience, your pay goes down. ...
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 ...
Does anyone remember in the conference calls, mention of MDI/Transcend paying for unlimited long distance phone charges for employees? I remember this being mentioned but can't recall all the details; if it was for FT only, everyone, etc. Does anyone remember details and if that still stands? ...
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. ...
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 ...
I was with the company for over five years, not once failing to meet the requirements of me yet I was told my position would have to change to 2nd or 3rd shift if I wanted to keep my job as there were no positions available for 1st shift. Two days after resigning I see they are hiring for 1st shift positions on a typing only platform which is what I wanted. I just don't get it. ...
Our company was bought by Transcend and will start working for them in August. Can anyone tell me what their starting line rate is or their average cpl. ...
Could someone please tell me what it is possible to be earning in say 3 months at Transcend? VR and straight typing? I am trying to make an important decision, and you never know the true pay, what to expect in advance, how long to get highly productive, etc. Thanks in advance. ...
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 ...
It has been mentioned that Wmx has lost 2 large accounts that is the reason for people being let go. Transcend has mentioned in the last few months about acquiring a new large account in September. Was at least one of these 2 large accounts, if not both, acquired by Transcend??? ...
