India?? - Hunni

Everybody leave Medquist....go get other work -- working at McDonald's pays more and has better benefits - at least you get to eat. And see how well India does all the transcription -- they can't do it -- we do the hard work and they get the cream. We are sitting her dying with their bad machines and bad dictators. Let them have it -- they will corode. ...

Not trying to be ignorant of things, but I read A LOT of reference to ESL dictators and work going to India. What are ESL dictators exactly? I am asking because I've worked for this company only for a short time, but I don't have any dictators that are ESL (I am assuming English second language speakers correct)? other than what is normal for my region AND I also have not lost any work to India. I am concerned though as it seems to be a trend. I rarely run ...

Concerning Global Info Systems. Someone said they outsource or are owned by Indians. Well, they say they just got a contract with US government (Department of Defense). A 5-year contract. Will they outsource that? OUR SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE MEETS DOD STANDARDS Out of only four businesses in the entire nation Global Info Systems won a contract with the government (Department of Defense) to work with their facilities in transcription. To qualify Global Info Systems had to pass all st ...

Was just curious really about how much MTs in India make. No wonder so much work is going over there. They can make around 5000 rupees a month, which is about $125 in U.S. dollar a month, plus line count bonuses. It makes me so angry that MQ is playing a part of the downfall of our economy by offshoring, instead of trying to help our country out by keeping work here. Wonder how much the unemployment rate would drop if every MTSO in this country stopped offshorin ...

India is doing our QA now!!??? I don't think so. Just argued one already where she "thought" he/she heard something different and then marked me for a MAJOR deduction. Arghghghghgh!!!! ...

My employer won't admit it but all of this month the work on my account will go from 50-75 reports well within TAT to suddenly nothing and this happens between 9-9:15 p.m. Typically that volume of report would last me and the others on the account until 11 p.m. or midnight. Ironically I note that 9 p.m. in the US is equal to 9 a.m. in India. Why don't they just admit they're giving work to India and stealing it from us, leaving those of us scheduled to work until ...

For the last two nights I have been editing almost all reports from MTs in India. The reports go through 2 MMEs in India and then come to me. It is amazing since they are supposed to be so "good" at what they do, that just about all of the reports come through with errors in them that were not picked up by MMEs in India. Just a thought. ...

I wonder how much editing the MTEs from India are actually doing. In the report was typed Cranberry Whistle as a medication when it was actually cranberry, Vistaril 25 p.o. q.4-6 h. p.r.n. in a medication list. Since the MTs from India are supposed to be much smarter than US MTs and this report went through 2 levels of editing in India, wonder how much they actually look at the report or do Google searches. Never heard of Cranberry Whistle as a medicatin. Brother. G ...

If the economy ever gets better, most of us will leave for jobs that pay better. Once they don't have enough of us, they'll simply send the work to India rather than pay us more. They will continue to insist on paying low wages. I think they saw an opening when the economy tanked with too many people, including us, looking for a job -- ANY job and took advantage of the economy by transforming this job into a minimum-wage job. Then they could tell the hospitals how cheap they could ...

I forgot to ask this question in my last post: Assuming that most of us are getting 8-10 cpl, what are the Indian and Phillipino MTs getting? Half? Less than half? Also, assuming that the need for MTs will continue somewhat - how long do you all think it will be before all the remaining MTSOs will outsource to India and the Phillipines - for nothing else, but to reduce their MT overhead?? Now I'm really depressed, and I have to start work. Thanks everyone. ...

What is the attraction about India, that so much of the transcription is being sent there? It seems to me that someone for whom English is a second language would not do very well in transcribing reports from the U.S. I would expect that a lot of those reports would have be heavily eited or completely re-done. So why offshore it in the first place? Am I missing some information here? It can't be all about salary, because from the postings here, it doesn't seem like transcriptionists i ...

As compared to the total medical transcription work of US, the portion of MT work outsourced for India is very less it seems. Some are blaming offshoring of MT work to India as a cause of cheaper pay rates for US MTs. But the fact is different. Now a days MT companies in US are switching to voice recognition method of their MT work which requires only editors and proofers and not MTs. Hence MTs are eliminated from the scenario. The voice recognition software is doin ...

On numerous occasions over the past year I was told by my CCM that the reason they are outsourcing to India is because there is a shortage of qualified MTs because the average age of an MT is 55 and they are starting to retired. Like the infamous ***** and is ridiculous claim about 650 lph on ASR, that MTs have an IQ of about 6. ***** Do not name/identify individuals. Moderator ***** ...

Good morning, In your browser type in india.com and you will get "The Economic Times", one of India's newspapers. Interesting. What is even more interesting is to put in CBay up in the search bar (top right side) and watch what comes up. More information on CBay, but from India's newspaper perspective. Interesting to say the least. Always good to get an objective opinion!! ...

Here's a link to holidays in India. My opinion? Don't work on these days. It's the closest thing you can get to a strike. Could be interesting. http://www.travelindia-guide.com/holiday_calendar.aspx ...

My husband is in the stock market and has been checking up and reading things about MedQuist. MedQuist is now in a transition of sending more to India than ever before. According to the CEO and COO, they are looking to increase their volume of 15% of MQ total work to 45% in the next 6 months. The purchase of Spheris was a smokescreen. The contract with Spheris was that they could come in and set up shop with their own people and move the MQ folks out. Which is ...

I have been waiting for hours, no work today, nothing. This is per usual anymore. My last several accounts went overseas, it would not have hurt the MTSO I work for to have kept me on any of the accounts anyway and they won't give me a secondary so that when the work does come in they can keep a tight TAT. I've been looking for other opportunities, but just can't seem to find anything. I don't have a car so have no transportation to even try find ...

In reviewing an e-mail to the worldwide team yesterday, they were asked why they were not responding to stat requests. They responded it would be taken care of, and signed off, "Cheers, and let us chill." REALLY????? ...

Has anyone ever heard of MT Group India ? I was contacted by them and I was wondering if this was a legit company. ...

I checked out the NTS India website and was very interested about the pay they quote for an independent contractor. The values are in paise, which convert to 100 in a rupee. A rupee is 0.02 US dollars. For transcribing 30,000 to infinity lines on the day shift one would be paid 200 paise or 2 rupees, which would be 0.04 cents per line US. For speech 30,000 to infinity lines one would be paid 100 paise or 1 rupee, which would be 0.02 cents per line. These are the rates for >=99%, which I am as ...

CNBC India report on MT industry. ...

I called support, and now it says you can be transferred to an International. Well, guess what I got..... I was on hold several times, because he had to look up my "file." In the end he was not able to help me. Told me to call my TSM. Then I looked at the confirmation email they send out with the summary fo the "incident" and the grammar is horrific. What happens if you work night shift, you know you will get International, because their afternoon is our night. Tha ...

I was reading through "Why work for M*Modal India." Did anyone read about their medical insurance coverage for employees? ...

I would highly recommend the medical transcription community, as well as the physicians of the United States stay away from this company. I will not post any further info here. If you have a complaint against these people, PM me privately. ...

I know some of my account has gone to India, but I still get plenty of it. Have some accounts gone 100% to India now? ...

I think I have figured out why I never have any work in the morning. It took me awhile. They want to be within TAT so whatever is left over that night, it goes bye-bye. I have nothing until noon the next day so that leaves me working until 8 that night. Sooo not happy. Sooo unfair. ...

Well, as usual no work at 5:00 a.m. at beginning of shift. When I started getting reports one or two at a time they were all editing from India. No wonder no work in the early morning lately. Good thing I have a second job. Had to be there 1 hour after I finished at mmodal. Worked 1.50 hours yesterday, all editing from India. Today 7 reports in total. All editing from India. Looking for another job. A cashier job that I am applying for pays $ ...

Do you know for a fact that more work has been shifted recently and if so, how do you know this? Thank you. ...
