New to Transcend. Do they pay for the lines in canned text? Nomo - mt

Posted: Mar 13, 2010

Yes, as far as I can determine.... - CrankyOldBroadOnTheBeach

My primary account hasn't got a lot of canned text that came with it--but I've created a lot of my own "inserts" (that's what they call "normals" in BeyondTXT) of my own--and my line counts are the same as they always were.

Hiring new MTs?? - RLee

It simply amazes me that Transcend keeps hiring and has job ads on MT job boards for new accounts, etc when they currently have MTs complaining about not having enough work for their shifts and what not - I am an ex-Transcender and know this first hand. Keep the ones busy that you already have employed would make sense, right?

Too much work - --

I am sorry you had a bad experience. Ever since the merger, I have had so much work. My accounts are bursting right now. One account is new and they are probably adding people to it, but for now it has unlimited work. Actually, I wish the volumes would come down a bit, so I would not feel so obligated to work extra.

See the post on the main board about how - TLs take work away from certain people

Incompetents and whiners among them. Can't speak for any particular person's competence, but whining is another matter altogether. Does the shoe fit?

Read the posts Yourself !!!! - RLee

No the shoe doesn't fit - I do not work there anymore - THANK GOD!!!! But it seems that nothing has changed at all since my departure - and if I am a "whiner" - then there are many in my shoes on this board - I am just expressing my opinion as everyone else, but unfortunately some Transcenders are expressing lack of work for various reasons. It is an ongoing issue - can you explain that??

no work available - old mt

[ In Reply To ..]
I have to agree that there is no work available. I don't limit myself on work types, I do them all, just there is no work available. But I know all the reports that have canned text are being ripped out from under my nose daily, probably by my team lead. If there are 3 jobs on the system to be transcribed they ask for more people to be added to the account. They must get paid by the number of people they supervise.

This is my experience too! - MDI/trans

I have experienced the very same thing, and have had reports taken right out from under my nose daily. Everytime they ask for help there are only a few reports to be done, and these are quickly gone, which is why I wonder why they want everyone to jump on board so quickly! I feel good for the people who are getting work, but there are some of us that are downright miserable and I get depressed everytime I sign on and see that there is very little work and everyone is grabbing what they can, which is understandable..most of the work grabbed is always the easiest first.

I agree!!

Thank you - MDI/trans

[ In Reply To ..]
Thanks for agreeing with me, sometimes I feel so very alone, as if I am the only one experiencing this, especially when others say they are overflowing with work..I just wonder whether they are already on BeyondTXT or still on Bayscribe. Again, thanks:)

Yes, they do pay for canned text, normals, etc. - You will have plenty of work

[ In Reply To ..]
as long as you don't limit yourself to certain specialities and/or WT. Those without work are usually in that category.

Sounds like the voice of a TL speaking - :smile - RLee

[ In Reply To ..]
Makes no difference - sorry - read many of the prior posts.

Nope. Not a TL. Just one down in the trenches who - has lots of work available.

lots here too - love my job

[ In Reply To ..]
I have lots of work too; Escription platform and not a TL. Never been treated harshly; but I live by treating others how I want to be treated and have never had a problem.

RUN from this company, management treats employees like dogs - ME

RUN from this company. They will make your life miserable.

Transcend - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
BEWARE!! The management of this company treat their employees lower than dogs. You deserve better!!

GROWF! - No dog here

[ In Reply To ..]
I guess I'm supposed to bark and growl, if I'm being treated like a dog....

If being paid in full, on time, having plenty of work, and management more or less staying out of my way makes me a dog, then....

GROWF!

ROFL !!!!! - rrrrrgggghhhhh!

Well, one MT got fired and is not dealing well with it. She's a very good MT, but the stress f - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
Take a look again at this company. Not worth working for them. They are the dogs!!!

I am sure that you are right in your opinion..sm - rgghh

[ In Reply To ..]
I was only ROFL about how "no dog here" expressed her disagreement with "GROWF."

They are the dogs - I quit, too

[ In Reply To ..]
They would most likely be pit bulls or Dobermans with big jaws ready to take a bite out of MTs.

Fired - RLee

[ In Reply To ..]
O got fired as well for going 3 consecutive days in a row without production, not on my part, but by Transcend having too many MTs typing in my same pooling and my work pool being dried up everytime I checked it. So how could I produce when I was constantly looking at a blank screen. They are the dogs and only care about their as I call them "fat cats." Good luck to the MTs with tons of work, as it probably will not last long, it never does. Transcend I believe has made TAT into 5 minutes of being put into the system and call in their SWAT team to get work out that is less than an hour old - that is what the big joke is about this company. Just my opinion ---

I agree. One TL there must be blonde.. she doesn't follow people's schedules correctly. - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
I agree. One TL there must be an air head, as she fires if you work on your day off too.

Yes, they treat their MTs like Lassie, you got that right!! - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
Yep, that's right. They treat them like "lassie".

My question is, I quoted her a per line rate and she is balking on payi ...

Hey, about 3 years ago there was an MLS who did at least 40,000 lines per 2-week pay period at Transcend. In fact, there was even an article about her and about 5 other transcriptionists supposedly "invaluable" to their MTSOs in one of those AHDI journals. How do you suppose she was doing over 40,000 lines in 10 working days per pay period? I don't see how it would be possible to consistently edit 500 or more lines an hour every day on that Beyond Text platform that Transc ...

if you make 4 cents per line at 1000 lines a day, they really calculate it at 500 lines per day x 4 cents, making it really 2 cents per line for the full 1000. I heard this, and I am really interested in knowing if it is true. ...

My main account was a good one, and the lines were very good, mostly ER work. I have been on this account for over a year and a half now. We recently received an e-mail stating that Nuance had discovered that the line count was charging incorrectly, as instituted by them, and they had been crediting us with MORE lines than we were actually doing and overcharging the client. Now get this, they informed us that they would not make US pay it back, for their mistake, but that our new lines would re ...

What do you do when you have the required hours but are short lines? I got an email that I need to "make plans to have my shortage made up." The only problem is that I'm up to date with my hours for the pay period so far. The other problem is that I have plans Saturday night and Sunday (both being my scheduled time off) that don't include TransTech. It's getting harder and harder to defend this company when they can't hold up their end of the agreement and continually ...

How many lines do you average per day - VR and traditional? I know it's been VERY slow lately, but when things are going well, how many lines do you normally get?

Well, my timesheet says 8 hours, but my clock says that number MAY(!) be a little higher. Again, these are numbers I pull when things are going well and I'm not waiting for work to download. I'v ...

Just wondered about what you all think is the best expander to use with VR. I used to use Shorthand up to a couple of years ago and now work with Instant Text. It seems to me that Shorthand is very very popular with the VR crowd. Does anyone use Instant Text successfully with VR? The version of IT I have (V Pro) does not have the recording functions and the ability to use shortcuts (like Alt+ and Control+) like Shorthand does. Nor is there there an ability to record commands or key combina ...
