Working at TTS - Kerri

I started at TTS last year, just went on their website and applied and the recruiter called. My previous employer used eScription so I was really looking for a position on that system and TTS has an eScription team. I have one account that I stay on all week except for my Sat and then I have a second account. They pay every two weeks, United Healthcare is their insurance. I stay busy, not like before when I tried all day just to get 1000 lines. HTH.
There are a few bad apples there, just like any company - Anon

Depends on what account you are on. Pays on time. Schedule adherence is very strict for ICs. I don't know about their health as I don't need it. Work is very steady on my account which is an escription account.
Escription side is much better than Dictaphone side - Bri

Due to a certain person on the Dictaphone side.
Yep-been there, doe that-the dictaphone lead is - Ex-TTSer

a royal pain. I never heard from a lead more in my life. She will call for every little reason, totally micromanages breaks, line counts, etc. After 20 years, I think I know what I am doing, so just let me do my job and we will be fine. However, the owner loves her cause she is just like her-MICROMANAGE, MICROMANAGE, MICROMANAGE is the motto for TTS. I left for a place where they let me be me and do my job.
P.S. Plus, the account that starts with an "F" which is what they mostly hire for, totally is crap, so won't make any money because you will be spending most of your time trying to figure it out! Oh, also, the "F" account gets audited by the client, Nuance, AND TTS-good luck with that!
Ditto, to everything you said. I was on the "F" acct also. - MT

TL is a control freak. The "F" acct has 35+ pages of acct specs that change on a daily basis. TTS monitors your time on the system and if you are idle for 4 minutes, it deducts that from your time in the system.
Yep-been there, done that-the dictatphone lead is - - Happy I quit

I too worked for TTS, for 3 weeks. I was there a week, they grabbed me to work in administrative position on the F account and I lasted 2 weeks and quit. I couldn't make them happy so I quit before they could fire me.
Same here... - Ex-TTS

Same thing here..lasted 1 month in an admin position and they paid me half of my salary pay. I disagreed with my pay and got fired on the spot by the OWNER! I am in the middle of an unpaid wage claim with the Labor Board now to get my pay. They MICROMANAGE like the other people said down to every 5 minutes! Stay far away from these folks if you can help it! I
MD-IT keeps repeating this same ad out of the Boulder, CO, regional office. But I understand they have had qualified people apply for this job the regional managers pass them up. I also heard that MTs tried this account, decided it was too horrible to make any money, and decided not to work for this company on this account. Anyone else have any valid information? ...
Well, all the rumors are starting to come to pass with dear SGS (Superior Global Solutions). I "WAS" in QA until yesterday. They either fired or demoted 7 of us so far to MT status. Not saying being an MT is a demotion, but for the sake of telling you about SGS and my experiences with them, we shall call it a demotion. Back a few months ago they made SURE everyone had signed an "At Will" employment form so they would have all their ducks in a row when all this started to ...
Is anyone using the latest DQS update? I think it's 6.1version. I've already gone through the training on it but haven't heard when it's going to be started. Thanks ...

Our ability to expand our business and properly service our customers depends on our ability to effectively manage our domestic production capacity and our only offshore transcription labor partner (CBay Systems & Services, Inc.), including our ability to recruit, train and retain qualified MTs ...
My interpretation to the last V-mail is that we are going to get a cut in pay to match the Indians. Yep. What do you think? I forget the exact wording, something about uniform salaries across the board. ...
Seems MTKing who posts here about how she just LOVES LOVES LOVES TTD sucked up enough to get promoted to Lead QA. NOT a surprise.
Folks, take heed, some 50 people have gotten cut from TTD in THIS YEAR alone and it's only just now June. Many are owed money. The owner sends intimidating emails. The company offers NO training. They also do not provide any feedback. Read posts further down and in the archives. Nothing good can come from working for The Transcription Doc ...
How many times, I mean how many, really, must we stack the subheading to the left, capitalize it, put a colon after it, and remove the word "is" before this stupid speech engine figures out that's how it's supposed to do it, not all in one paragraph? I mean, it's a client specific, and I am pretty everyone is doing it this way, every time, so don't tell me this is the MTs fault. ...
I just switched browsers to Mozilla Firefox, as I was having trouble seeing the posts at all.....Does anyone else use Firefox and read the board just fine? I hope I don't have to switch browers again. ...
If it is true that our MT corporations are profiting with VR the same as if we were transcribing, well to me that's picking my pocket......So then why isn't AAMT (or whatever) going to bat for us 'editors' and set standards so that companies will pay us our fair share? Just a thought. Wouldn't it be nice if we were told by our companies that from here on in, VR will pay as much as transcribing? pipe dreams huh? ...
Wow, did everyone get the email sent at 5:05 this evening, which was 6:05 my time. A lot of BS sprinkled with "we love yous" and "by the way, you aren't getting paid until Friday" and "Its all the office manager's fault because I don't take responsibility for my own actions" love note. "We are in a steady growth mode" and "we had to change pay dates because we can't get our stuff together enough to do invoices on time" and "we are super and you are lucky to w ...
if the QA or TCM come on here I am found out...So Ill wait a while..Just a little reminder to keep a paper trail..cause something will bite you in the tail first chance they get... ...
He must have been working late into the evening working on perfecting his email. So after so proudly revising the out of work policy just 2 weeks ago, it is apparently already outdated. ...
Line rate of 5.5 for straight typing? You have to be kidding! Do they seriously think anyone is going to do straight typing for 5.5? Anyone who seriously considers working for Diskriter needs to do their research on how the company treats employees and their track record for dissatisfied former employees. Why jump on a sinking ship. ...
but after Jan 31st, shouldn't we have them by end of February at very latest??
And if they don't get them to us on time for whatever lame excuse, where do we report it? Our state's labor board, or the state in which they are registered to do business? ...
Not quite a done deal, but CBay thinks it is. Wonder where Kumar got $75 million!!!! We earned it for him.

Talk about micromanage! Are you kidding me? We will be locked out if we don't work our exact shift? There has to be a 15-30 minute grace period. I am surprised that there are not a flood of posts about this on this forum already.
I about fell off my chair when I read this. I am very good about working my shift, but sometimes start 10-15 min early or 10-15 min late. Gosh, sometimes get stuck on the potty in the morning for a few extra m ...
All MQ MTs are advised to closely watch their mailboxes. In the next few weeks you will be receiving (COD of course) a package from MQ. You must accept delivery of this package. It contains an electronic ankle monitor tastefully embossed with the MQ logo. You must wear this for your entire period of employment with MQ. When it is time for your shift to start you will receive a gentle, remotely controlled, electronic reminder - 5 or 10 volts at most. Should you ...
I'm utterly confused regarding this latest merger/acquisition/whatev of MQ of M*Modal. I just accepted a position with an MTSO working on the M*Model platform. Does the fact that the Q purchased M*Modal mean that down the road I will be working for MQ? Does this mean that MQ just owns the rights to M*Model and now has the ability to charge the MTSOs obscene amounts of money to continue to use the platform? Does this affect our positions as MTs who do work on M*Model ...
I am at about the last straw with this company. Just a few minutes ago I got an e-mail from TSM about the "gym membership reimbursement" program. It was to remind us "full-timers" to get our attendance records in to HR so that we can get reimbursement.
Now, I have never even heard of this program. I was a full-timer until earlier this year when I got knocked down to part-time because of their ridiculous $900 requirement, which they made impossible to reach with their %#@& ...
getting into ADP or the MLS website? I haven't gotten my line count since last week, I think Friday, and I think the autoupdate to IE 11 was Thursday when I shut down, and I can't see my ADP check info either. I did a trouble call and they uninstalled IE 11 and reinstalled IE 8 but everything is a mess. My sisters are both having trouble, too. ...
