pretty sure they did just recently. Nuff said. Check the MQ board on here.

Nope.. ETransPlus, AllType and Spheris - Not Transcend

Oh okay - thanks for the info

I could have sworn my CCM put out an email a couple of weeks ago to let him know if anyone had every worked on Transcend ? Maybe they just got some of Transcend's accounts or maybe I just dreamed it. Considering my state of mind lately, I more than likely dreamed it. lol :)

Wannie...yay so far - LOL

Not sure I've been there long enough to give you an accurate assessment, but my experience so far has been very positive. Only time I didn't have work was when I was in training and only had 1 acct. I'm sure others will call me a suit or whatever, but I assure you that I'm not. I'm trying to scrape by like everyone else. I wish you luck no matter what.

yay for me, at 2+ years - sm

Very flexible, decent in every way, including my TLs (multiple) and my dealings with higher-ups. Left alone to do your work. Occasional incentives/bonuses. Good communication. A big company that feels like a smaller one. also am not a suit!

Incentives and bonuses? - lka

I have been with them for less than a month and being trained on various accounts, so not much work right now but I will be trained on a larger account next week. I don't recall hearing anything about occasional incentives and/or bonuses. Also, I am part-time, so does that apply to part-time people as well? Can you tell me where I can find out more about it? Thanks!

These happen only under - special circumstances

For instance, if an account is badly out of turnaround time, they might offer some kind of temporary incentive to entice people to come on board and help clean it up. It might amount to an extra 1 CPL for straight typing, or a half-cent per line for VR.

The best incentive I ever ran into was on a brand-new account, a few months back. They were offering a $100 gift card for every 10 jobs completed. I threw down 23, and received a $200 gift card in the mail a few weeks later. This was on top of the regular normal pay for the lines. It also happened to be in a specialty I've been doing since 1976, so it was very, very easy money for me. I just wish they'd do it again.... :)

when it applies - sm

to your account(s), you'll be informed. It will happen when the volumes go too high or late. It's not an everyday thing, but it has happened often in my region.

I have to agree. Came in with a merger a few - years ago. SM

It was tough at first learning a new platform and then going to VR. Lucked out with an excellent region and great TLs. The only complaint I have is generic, undercompensated for VR editing. If you know your stuff, act like an adult and show up for your schedule,and otherwise do your job, you should have no problems. No work not an issue for me (except on holidays), have 1 main account, 1 secondary, responsive TL, left alone to work.

I agree with above poster - TranscendMT

I have been here 4 months now and very happy. Started making the minimum quickly and doing very well. I came over from Webmedx, and what a nice change it's been. If my accounts run low, there's always some work that can be routed to me from other accounts. I really enjoy working in this region and have a great TL and ROM. It really does have a small company feel to it, as the poster above commented.

Great company! I always have work. I have a fun, awesome TL named Kim. They offer all kinds of assistance to help you increase your production. They really do care about their MLS.

Thanks everybody who took the time to post here... - Mally

I'm not the person who asked the original question, but I do have an interview with Transcend on Monday and it is so scary looking for a new job when you have no idea what you are getting into. I really appreciate when MTs working for a company take the time to let us know what it is really like there so job seekers like me can make an informed decision about where to work! I'm a single mom with a mortgage, so everything depends on me making some $$$!

Did VR develop Alzheimer's? It has lost everything. I am tired of no commas, periods, and everything else it reverted back to since its infancy. It is really true that now you can transcribe faster than you can edit. Does anyone even care? Do you know how many times you have to stop in the middle of labs to put in punctuation? This has been going on for over a month and I haven't noticed any big push to get it fixed. Just another way to m ...

I am curious as to if the TLs are meeting their requirements. They are expected to type 75-80% of their time and get paid by the line as well . I am very suspicious that they are not typing VR all day, having their work sent to India, etc, and are getting the straight typing. They get paid a flat fee per month for their administrative duties on top of that. I wonder if they are experiencing no work and looking at a blank screen most of their time& ...

job ad on the Seeker's board and it sounds like a place I would like to work. I work for a company also called Transcend, but they are not a place that I would recommend to anyone. I haven't worked all week as there has been no work. Just NJA. So maybe this Transcend is in a parallel universe. It certainly could not be the same place where I'm employed. ...

Mar 28, 2010

I have read dozens of posts on the board about Transcend, some good and a lot not so good. However, I think there is an explanation for some MTs loving it there and others hating it so much. Transcend is a company made up of many other companies through mergers. The original Transcend who existed first, before acquiring other companies seems to be the problem. On the other hand, for example MDI/Transcend, for the most part does not seem to fit that description. You have to remember ...

I'm coming to the realization that unless I get faster with editing these VR reports, I am never going to be able to make the full-time production requirements at Transcend. I'm really freaking out. Is it really possible to do 300 lines per hour in VR? How long does it take to get faster with it? ...

Google Star Clip Itz Note Holder w/ Metal Rod & Alligator Clip to see exactly how much it cost Transcend per MT for this gift that bears so much thought and appreciation. Do they really not realize how it affects their corporate image when their priority is placed on spending $600,000+ on a failed business venture versus the amount spent to "appreciate" the motor that makes their business run? That's like spending more than a half million dollars to buy a garage to hous ...

I was with the company for over five years, not once failing to meet the requirements of me yet I was told my position would have to change to 2nd or 3rd shift if I wanted to keep my job as there were no positions available for 1st shift. Two days after resigning I see they are hiring for 1st shift positions on a typing only platform which is what I wanted. I just don't get it. ...

Could someone please tell me what it is possible to be earning in say 3 months at Transcend? VR and straight typing? I am trying to make an important decision, and you never know the true pay, what to expect in advance, how long to get highly productive, etc. Thanks in advance. ...

Jun 25, 2011

Did anyone else get the memo from Transcend (soon to take over from DTS) about the line rate change for the transitioning employees from DTS? It was elegantly written, but basically it said that when the accounts are switched over the VR that the line rates will decrease but productivity will increase and no cut in pay is expected. It is happening exactly how the posters on this board that have been through takeovers by Transcend said - decreased pay. I gave my notice already BT ...

I have a phone interview with Transcend out of Atlanta and TTS out of New Hampshire today and next week. I've been working for the same MT company for over 8 years, but they're losing accounts and cutting our pay so I'm looking to possibly change jobs. Has anyone worked for Transcend or TTS? I'm scared to death to change jobs at this point. I know the problems and shortcomings of my current company. I switched jobs once before for a few months and found that all the promises ...

I've been offered a job with Transcend but it is part transcription and part SR. I've never done SR and have no idea what to expect or what I will earn.

Thanks for any words of wisdom. ...

I have been with Transcend for several years. I loved Transcend in the beginning. The people cared about me, actually made me feel worthy and valued (25+ years experience) and I felt as though I was part of a family. I was one of the highest producers because I actually ENJOYED my job. My quality score, even with high production was over 99% consistently. Something I took MUCH pride in. In the past year, all of that has changed drastically...so drastically.&nb ...

At least when they bought my smaller company they didn't cut my pay. Restructured it, yes, since they didn't pay incentive bonuses, but made absolutely sure I didn't lose money. Nuance, on the other hand, just gutted me after buying Transcend. MASSIVE pay cut that is now causing me to have to find a second job. I already have worked every weekend and almost every holiday for the last 12 years I've been in this industry, now I get to work 7 days a week ...
