TransTech - what platform? - Donna

Posted: Jul 26, 2012

Does anyone know what platform TT uses for the oncology account they are hiring for? Also, what is the percentage rate of VR editing? Thanks for your help.

More like 99.9% VR and 0.4 cpl. Never a raise. - anon

Good luck. Prepare to play Beat The Clock.

Unless theyve changed a lot since I left be wary of having enough work - On ANY shift

I had 4 accounts, all eScription, and even with changing shifts, accounts, etc., still couldn't meet the minimum and was essentially working for insurance and leftover change.

Other than that, no complaints...I just wouldnt advise putting all of your eggs into the TT basket if you can avoid it.

Can't help you with what they use for oncology, but I have been getting lots of straight transcription for the last few weeks, since residents started, and NEVER run out of work on my account.

Where have you been then? Told NO accounts straight typing at least 5 years ago! - anon

A Donna used to be a supervisor in the office. Told everyone was going to VR, and that was 5 years ago. Every accont I was told had to switch over and along with all the MTs learning VR and pay cut in half...oh, because it was faster and easier. Other ourright postings of 'favs' and it was always denied. Seems so to me. Nobody had straight typing. Ran out of work also because it was assigned and you were cued...we denied that too.

My accounts were over 98% VR, and very, very little, if any, straight typing. There are favorites with the company and the supervisors, 1 in particular at night, had a convenient way of taking away lengthy dictation, especially non-VR, particularly around the end of the pay period and either saving it for someone else or for herself. This happened all of the time, and it didn't take much to see it was happening. When the supervisor was questioned about this, she would always have an excuse as to why this was happening. I did tell "D" a couple of times and it would stop temporarily and then go back to the same thing all over again. They did overhire, and when they wanted someone out they gave them the very worse dictators hoping they would get frustrated and just leave, or they starved them out. They would try intimidation by telling you several times that they would terminate you if you did not bring your line count up, so instead of being terminated many just handed in their resignations. In the state I live in you can get unemployment if you are terminated if the reason is justified, such as not having enough work or making below minimum wage. We were told, but it was never written that we had to "pad" our time sheets to make it look as though we worked a full shift. That is illegal. I was hired at a specific line count for part-time, but later told that everyone was sent a note that this had changed..I never received that e-mail. Has anyone experienced anything I mentioned here? Sure would make me feel better to know that I am now the only one that experienced any of this. Thanks to everyone, and I hope everyone seeking employment has success.

There is an oncology I have to help cover besides my primary and it is straight typing of extremely long reports and is on the Procure system, but they don't dictate much.

KSR...what is your account? Nice you just have one instead of 5. - anon

Enjoy being a cut above the rest. See how long the honeymoon lasts.

The work runs so low you end up working your days off all the time. There is 1 all typing account but not much on it. I have 5 and still have to work days off. Also the daily quota is unreal considering how bad the VR can be, the biweekly is 15,000 for full time, which might be good if the work was there and you knew by account how you were getting paid (you aren't told). Also you don't get paid for weekend work unless you are scheduled for that day, so you having to work weekends to make up time is to their benefit not yours. You also get different feedback from different people. Recently had one where the specifics said to do something regardless of how it's normally done so I did, and the QA said do it another way or she will count it off. If you ask anybody else about what you are told, everybody clams up, otherwise they send your feedback around to EVERYBODY. You also get a lot of "didn't you know the program did this" and no, you don't, because you get about 5 minutes platform training. Personally I would RUN, don't walk the other way.

Hi there fellow TT MTs:) Do any of you ever have trouble with QA at TT. Lately, I have been afraid to send anything in for correction, particularly 1 person, who dissects my reports down to crossing my Ts and dotting my Is. I know she is probably just doing her job well, and I know being in QA is a hard job, but this is getting depressing. I am not a newbie by any means, and I know my job well. Not criticizing here, just a little perplexed I guess. Thanks everyone! ...

I started a new thread because I noticed your question about TransTech waaaay down at the bottom of the page and with no responses yet, so here goes... In my personal experience, nothing has changed from the older posts. Even today, I have 4 accounts and I'm currently waiting for work to come into my queue. If you can get in with TransTech as a favorite, you can make BIG money doing 98% OP notes (about 30,000 lines per pay period). But, if you're just a regular, ...

Usually there are lots of posts here about TT. Just wondering what is going on now. I was hired and supposed to start work there, but could not work with satellite. For some reason, the EditScript would not come up. So I got rid of satellite and had Verizon Wireless installed. So far this is working pretty good. Much better than satellite -- knock on wood. Hopefully I can start working again. ...

I've been with TT for about 6 years but was recently offered an in house job at 4x the pay and really great benefits. I have to say I really enjoyed working for TT other than the times of low volume and I would recommend them. Things have changed for me and I can't turn down this opportunity but I do wish them well. ...

some part-timers anyway, why not offer weekends to part-timers and offer some Mon-Fri shifts for the experienced full-time MTs you're trying to get..... That's about the only way you're going to get many experienced quality MTs. And there are always plenty of MTs looking for part-time weekend work as a 2nd job. ...
