Is there one I don't have to buy? (smile) That site is not very user friendly is it?
Google "free copy of Klas research MTSO" - Mary
[ In Reply To ..]
I googled "free copy of Klas research MTSO" and www.healthcare-informatics.com came up. I searched for "Klas MTSO" within the site, and a 25-page document. On page 5 of that document is an interesting bar graph of a few MTSO companies and the percentages that they insource, outsource, or both insource and outsource. Question: TransTech, Medscribe, and Encompass are "all insource", but I thought they outsourced, and I do hear bad things about them. Any comments? That is an interesting bar graph.

TransTech does not outsource any work, however, I cannot speak for the other 2 companies. As far as hearing bad things, I find this site is full of people with negative attitudes. I have been a TT'er for about 4 years now and I have to say they are by far the best company out there, IMHO. Their staff is superb, QA is top notch, everyone is extremely helpful and they go above and beyond what is necessary to keep their MTs happy. I don't plan on leaving this company ever!
Does TransTech hire part-time?? - typeforchange

KLAS published a 2009 MTSO report - Andrea
[ In Reply To ..]
KLAS announced that the 2009 MTSO report published today.
I'm sorry, I had actually saved the report to my hard drive - Tired&CrankyMT
...so I didn't go a step further and check to make sure you weren't required to purchase the report once I came across the links. Ack! Sorry about that, but it sounds like Mary already redirected you to a copy of the free one. Thanks Mary!

I've been on it most of the day. I saw the 2008 MTSO study, but 2009 is not out yet. But very, very interesting information up there. Thanks everyone!!!

What are some of the largest transcription companies out there that are not affiliated with Nuance? It is way too hard to get a parttime job with smaller independent hospitals. ...
I see many warnings about bogus companies but I need help to steer me to a good company or at least a company that is fair, hiring and gives a fair entrance test. any ideas? ...
Can anyone answer me why is it that these MT companies hire you and they all promise you the sun, moon and stars. Oh we have TONS of work. We guarantee you at least 11 accounts and 2,500 lines a day. Then you are sitting there 6 months later, waiting for jobs? I have experienced this many times. Can it be that its just bad management and they overhire? Does anyone know of a company that really does have TONS of work? I know this is the slow time of year, but many times its happened at othe ...
pay us hourly anymore anyway make us punch an electronic time clock? What's wrong with sending simple timesheets like we did for years? It has no effect on our pay whatsoever since we aren't hourly and is only to cover their butts regarding overtime, so why do they go through all the nightmare of eTime?! ...
The company I work for has gone VR (on most jobs). I cannot make any money doing this. My pay has been cut approximately $150 to $200 every two weeks. They have already taken away the incentives, and now if you screw up a couple of times on demographics, you do not get paid for the job, and the third or fourth time you are pulled from the account. I am just so frustrated. This VR is killing me. It takes more time to make corrections. It is frustrati ...
Can someone please point me to reputable links or companies who hire new (recently graduated/just out of school) transcriptionists? I don't want to apply to companies that aren't good to work for! Who are ones that you know of who hire right out of school and are good to work for? I need something!! I can't take it? I feel like I have applied to every company that I have found on the Internet with no response! Sorry if I'm venting, but it's just g ...
So, I see it all of the time, people on here complaining about no work, yet the company they are complaining about is HIRING. My job recently did this as well. I am day after day running out of work, but yet I see an ad that they are hiring! I e-mailed the owner and asked about it and she didn't reply. I UNDERSTAND that they are hiring for a different account, BUT, since it's all transcribing, why not just move some people around and give those extra accounts to ...
I got an email yesterday telling me that I didn't meet the quota of 10,000 lines for the last pay period... well, duh... There is not enough work. Today I get an email asking how many times I checked on a new account yesterday because they had issues and actually never went live at all. I responded to the email and my supervisor emails me back asking me if I'm hourly or on production. huh??????
No work this morning either... just sit ...
This is ridiculous! I just was rehired again after being away for 2 years and I'm thinking I made a mistake! I want to know if there are any other companies out there that let you JUST TYPE! Would love to hear from someone who has left and is working for a different company as I think I have one foot out the door! ...
Periodically, I will cruise the MT help wanted, and see some companies that list the system requirements as "must have XP." My question is this: I wonder if they mean must have at least XP or do they mean MUST HAVE XP. I find it difficult to believe that any system out there only works with XP, as Vista has been around for a good long while and even Windows 7 (which I wish DocQ would update to) has been out for a bit. I mean, it would be very difficult to find a computer ...
I am in need of a company that still uses FTP where you download a bunch of work at once, work on it, send it back, repeat :) If you know of anyone and do not wish to post it, please feel free to email me.
Thank you very much. ...
Can someone tell me the name of a few companies that use DQS other than the Squid and DSG? I worked both those places and would not go back no matter what! ...
Experienced MT looking for PT work but currently have a MAC with dual operating system (VMware Fusion) or Windows on a MAC. Any info on companies that allow this, if any, would be greatly appreciated! My choice would be NOT to have to buy a new PC unless I absolutely have to! Thanks! ...
can make it on $15 a day!! I just started a week ago yesterday and have also run out of work twice. This is really pathetic. I know some on here say they would never take such a low paying job (4 for editing and 6 for straight typing). Had I not been desperate, believe me I would not have either. I have to wonder what happened. I know I will get a lot of answers to that question, but why in the world are we the ones getting such lousy pay? I am seriously ...
guess if you cannot understand something. Oh they won't tell you straight out to guess, but that is what they want you to do. It is the same ole blame the MT mentality. If the ESL is horrible, do not dare ask them to speak better. MAke the MT guess and if SHE gets it wrong, it is on HER head. No thank you!! God what I would not do to find something else:))) ...
My pay has been cut by more than half and I'm working longer hours due to VR on most accounts. Well, when I have work anyway. Are there any companies that hire for straight typing any longer?
How do people live on this work now? I had to come back to my verbally abusive husband due to no money and I was literally starving. This is all I know, have been an MT now for 20 years. What to do............ ...
is when they post an ad for help. I send my resume clearly showing my experience for the job and they never even contact me, even putting up another ad. This just gets me!! ...
I know this was addressed yesterday, but the same companies are posting the same jobs. Are they just getting busier or is everyone quitting???
I don't even feel like applying for these same jobs. Does anyone know what is happening?
It seems like there is a lot of work out there, but the same work.
...
It amazes me how many people try to make others feel bad for accepting these positions. Unfortunately right now these wages are what this market is and people who need a job who need to work to live don't have a choice but to accept these positions. So they do so only to have to constantly listen to others saying they are "stupid" for taking it and they are the reason the companies continue to do so. Yes there is an option to get out of the field and work elsewhere but for ...
