Being owned by an Indian company - NorthMT2
Posted: Mar 17, 2013
After reading about that poor Swiss woman who was vacationing in India with her husband and being gang raped by 8 men, does anyone else's skin crawl just knowing we work for a company owned by India and their total disregard for women ??
that happens in America, also - but yea

It does, but usually not gang raped by a bunch of thugs and from what I read, the police or whatever they call them over there don't care because they are woman and so what. The thugs run things.

Yes. Have read India is one of the worst countries in the world as far as how women are valued and treated. I guess where money is concerned, companies who outsource don't care.
Yes, it does. No wonder they have no empathy - for MTs (mo n/mst of whom are women).

Oh! - the irony

Sweden tops the charts for most rape cases in the world with 1 out of every 4 Swedish women being the victim.
But damn, you managed to somehow relate it to MT. That's talent I tell ya.
FYI--the majority of the rapes on Swedish - women in Sweden

are not committed by Swedish men. You might want to Google it.

Rape is under reported in India, as the stigma is more often on the woman than the rapist.

It's Very Sad, But This Is Basically Just An Indian Company Apr 04, 2013When you look on FB and look up MModal, the only people who like are Indians, and the only pictures they have are of Indians.

I definitely am leaving this field and am in a court reporting program, but I still have probably another year or maybe a little longer to complete and was just hoping to hold on to this job to make a little bit of money, but that's probably not going to be possible.

Possible Cooperatively-Owned MTSO Jan 09, 2013What if a bunch of us extremely experienced, practically-out-of-work-at-the-present-time transcriptionists created our own MTSO, cooperatively owned by all of us, and DONE RIGHT? Just an idea. No need to be greedy, emphasis on keeping that sensitive information at home, and, most of all, quality and accuracy. We are all looking bad these days because MT pays NOTHING any more, so the positions are filled by people who have no idea what they're doing. It just isn't right.

This Board Is Owned And Registered In Pakistan? Aug 20, 2013I just followed some post on this board to a woman who has a medical transcription blog. She has followed the domains all the way back to 2002 and claims that this board is now owned and registered to someone in Pakistan and she has copies of the documents showing it right there on the site. Very interesting. Link below

Medquist Is Owned By CBay, Based In India Oct 28, 2009Well this explains why all our work is disappearing to India. Medquist sold out to CBay, which operates out of India. Anyone know of any USA companies that are hiring? This is just outrageous and disgusting.

Pay For The Indian MTs Dec 01, 2011There was a question about MTs pay in India.
It is generally dependent on the line count and quality.
Direct upload MT transcribing 800 lines per day - Rs. 1.2 (nearly 3 cents) - 22 working days - Rs. 21,120 (around $600 per month) - greater than 98% accuracy (supposed to be)
Only professionals like engineers, doctors, some software guys, etc. get more salary than this.
Things are a little different in CBay (Medquist) India. Irrespective of experience, the MT ...
Indian Vs US QA On ASR Feb 05, 2012I just saw a post from last month wondering about what the accuracy level is that Indian MTs have to maintain. On Editscript, expected accuracy is 99% and tolerated accuracy is 98.5%. If your job is marked by QA as below 98% accuracy, you do not get paid for that job. Critical/grave/major/minor errors are all assessed per job and factor into accuracy calculations. If you have more than 5 major errors per 2000 lines, you lose the right to work on an account. Most Indian MTs prod ...
Indian MTs Jul 03, 2012Would someone please explain to me exactly why there are so many people in India that can to American transcription? How in the heck are they so proficient in the English language? Heck, 99% of Indian doctors I get couldn't speak a grammatically correct sentence if their life depended on it. I'm not kidding, I would really like to know. ...
Indian QCs Sep 25, 2012Does anyone have problems with Indian QCs (scores are good with US QCs), such as thinking that they may be deliberately marking errors where none existed originally?

MMEs On Indian MTs May 04, 2010Are any other MMEs out there coming across Indian MTs who conveniently leave out portions of dictation, because they don't understand it?

Anyone else? ...

Has Anyone Actually Seen Indian Work? Is It Really That Bad? Sm Sep 10, 2011In the past, it was stated by editors that the work was exceptionally good, except for some terms used more commonly in the US. I suppose they have more problems on the consults, which is why I've been receiving 15 minute typed consults lately, but at least I have work.
Can anyone objectively state quality of Indian MTs work?
How many here have actually seen the work they produce?

Just A Note On The Indian MTs Jul 04, 2012Have been working for a couple of months for a local clinic and there are 2 large hospitals in our area --- one uses in-house transcriptionists and one uses an MTSO. I can tell without a doubt which reports come from which hospital. The ones from the in-house MTs look like a user-friendly, readable report, and the MTs initials are readily available at the end of the report. The quality is exceptional. I know most of those MTs personally and they all have more than 10 year ...

Indian MT Pay Scale Mar 27, 2013As best I can calculate, the Indian MTs are started at about $40/week. This is not an error. I looked at both the application from Nuance (which can be found by googling) as well as the exchange rate. So when you see all the "extras" they are offered, try not to be jealous; they can't buy groceries with those extras. Apparently they are as dissatisfied with the management of the MTSOs as are we Americans. The question seems to be how many will continue to work for such low salaries and ...

Interesting Conversation I Had With An Indian MT Nov 05, 2009I received a request to chat on my FB account today. The person on the other end was an MT in India and he was essentially requesting American MTs to subcontract to him, let him do the work and pay him because (paraphrased) "even if the client doesn't wish the work offshored, there are many ways around this and no one would be the wiser."
Anyone else had an encounter such as this? I did find out he makes about $700/month working 6 days a week, 8 hours a day.

Predictions For MQ After Indian E-mail Apr 01, 2011Predictions, next 2 years for MQ:
1. Another re-structuring. Most CCMs will lose their jobs, to include middle management.
2. All old accounts will stay in U.S. unless directed by hospital to go to India (like what happened to my old accounts), but here is the catch: India management will push for them to go to India!
3. All easy work will go to India - no exceptions.
4. All new accounts will go directly to India and only special docs that the Indian ...
Indian Holiday This Weekend Sep 29, 2011The only reason there is an incentive running and there is extra work is because the Indian government gives their employees a week off for the holiday and we are expected I mean supposed to be motivated by the incentive to work it for them.
