SpectraMedi - Anyone here work for this company - Just wondering


Posted: Jun 04, 2011

Anyone here work for this company.  I have heard it is totally India based, and want to be sure before I apply.  Any info is appreciated.  TIA! 

Do not apply! - Just quit working there

The worst place ever! Yes it is India based. The owner is from India, set up in Syracuse. The platform is like nothing you ever saw and would never want to use. Jumping from page to page to look up info and then return to another page to fill in that info. Even has you looking up new doctors' addresses and expects you to add them to the database. My line count dropped from my usual 300-350 lph to less than 100! She QAs all the work and only gives harsh criticism. Good work you never hear about. I don't know why I stayed as long as I did, but found a good job last week and gladly left her behind. No more off shore companies for me! Never was crazy about the idea but for sure, not again!

SpectraMedi-email
Feb 05, 2011

I applied to them last year sometime and just got an email this morning requesting that I fill out a pre-evaluation form.  Also, the last question was asking me if I had any obligations, family or otherwise, within the next 2 months that would prevent me from working. Not sure what to make of this but if it leads to a paycheck, I guess that's okay. ...

New MT Question About SpectraMedi
Jun 29, 2011

I received a test from SpectraMedi and the first voice file did not work and the second one was so bad I could not understand the doctor, even slowing down. The background noise was so bad that I could not make out half of what he was saying. I sent an email letting them know about this and they sent me a second set for the test. Again the first voice file will not play, but the second is a lot better. I hate that I will have to email again about a voice file not opening, but I don't have a ...

I Want To Find A Different Company, But My Fear Is That MQ Will Only Swallow That Company
Jul 15, 2011

up and I'd be back at square one, making no more than their "maximums."  I wonder, are this new maximum pay going to stay the same (or lower)?  I mean, in 5 or 10 years (if we are still here) will it be the same?  Or less?  I think so. ...

Mar 31, 2010

We are a pretty big company, and we think we know what transcriptionists want, but it doesn't hurt to ask.  There are a lot of top people in our industry that are finding themselves without jobs, often without notice, both managers and transcriptionists.  I think that the tide is turning, and that we need to make sure that we treat our people right, so if you could take a few minutes and answer this, maybe we can make a difference.  I am asking for real answers, ones that ar ...

one to stay away from.  Integrity.  They test you, claim they are checking your references and then when you email asking if they got hold of the references, crickets.  Not a word from them.  This has been a few weeks, too.  If they are this rude just during the recruiting process, I hate to think what working for them would be like. ...

Looking For A Company With No ASR And All USA
Nov 18, 2009

I have over 30 years in this field and it seems that a lot of companies are either cutting the MT's pay to edit on ASR and/or are offshoring work out to India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc.  I don't believe in sending our jobs overseas, and I've also given ASR at whirl (a long whirl lol) and I still couldn't increase my lines per hour to compensate for the cut in pay that I had to take by doing ASR.  So what I'm looking for is a company that does not do ASR, do ...

What Do You Look For In A Company?
May 14, 2010

I will begin my job search in a few short months after graduating from M-Tec. Reading the company board has been an experience with all the negativity, but everyone has different experiences with a company and entitled to their opinion. My question is what do people look for in a company in the current market? How do you know if a company is a good fit for you? What would you consider a "red-flag" that would make you turn away from a company? No this isn't a school assignment or anything ...


Can The Company Do This?
Oct 19, 2010

The company I work for hired me as full time 1000 lines with benefits.  3 months later they changed their policies to 1200 lines anything under no benefits.  Also we can not work over 40 hours.  How can they pay me by line but then tell me how many hours I can work?  I don't work hourly.  I love transcription but I've been with 2 companies in the last year and can't meet all their requirements to get benefits.  Is this normal?  I used to work fo ...

What Would You Do If Your Company
May 20, 2011

Would you be able to perform at that level?  I'm sure there are some of you that say you consistently produce 100% quality and at least 400 lines an hour.  I'm not talking to you.  How about the regular MTs out there?  Are there any companies that require this?  Is it even attainable with the subjective nature of this job?  How about if all of your accounts are ESLs and your pay gets docked if you send more than 1 document a day to the QA department?  ...

that doesn't skew lines, lie to its MTs about it, pays a decent rate, has an MT-friendly platform, doesn't outsource, usually has a good workload, respects its MTs?  I'm so angry at having my lines cut and being lied to about it I'm moving on, but I fear anywhere I go it's going to be the same thing.  Are there any good companies out there anymore? ...


Looking For New Company

Hi all. I've been an MT for over 20 years. The company I currently work for has ridiculous policies and we are docked for mistakes. I've also been on night shift for 2 years and would really like to work days. I know no place is perfect, but I would like some opinions from you about where you work, and if you are relatively happy with your company. Thanks!!! ...
