Softscript - Posted By: Nicole

Softscript has called me at the end of August to work for them.  I tested and passed the test.  Then I received tons of emails with attachments to fill out paperwork.  They called a few times to hurry up and get them in. Actually, they called 4 times saying it has to be handwritten, etc.  I finally got it all sent to them.  IT called and installed all my software, etc.  Then I received emails to contact training to set up a day and time for training.  I have emailed them to just get a ticket number with no other response.  I have called them just to be transferred and get voicemail.  I have left messages and so forth with no response.  It's like they are completely ignoring me.  I decided to give up on them because I don't want to work for a company like this thinking if they are treating me like this now, what would it be like if I did go ahead and work for them, especially what I have read on these posts about them.  Has this happened to anyone of you?  Just courious.  I don't think there is a decent company to work for today.

A couple more TransTech questions - Posted By: Looking for something new

I'm looking to leave my current job and was thinking about applying to Transtech since there seems to be quite a lot of positive feedback on them.  Before I go through all of the testing/application process, I have a few questions.  Are there accounts actual typing or VR?  Also, what is the pay per cpl generally with experience?  Thanks a lot!

Looking for IC job with specific schedule - where to apply? sm - Posted By: mLane

I am looking for a new job as an IC (acute care only).  I want to work three 12-hour shifts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Any ideas of where to apply?  Seems most IC jobs now the company is dictating the hours you work, which I thought was illegal to do?

EditScript - Posted By: JoAnn

Is there anyone who can give me the name of one or two companies who use the EditScript platform?  I currently work using the DP EXText Speech platform and find it to be very sluggish and inaccurate.  I want to be cautious in applying to companies because I don't want to get into a worse situation.  Thanks to anyone who can respond!

Anyone have knowledge of this company and how they are to work for?  Pros and cons please.  Thanks

Medgarde -- anyone take test? (sm) - Posted By: Yuki

If the sound quality on the test is anything like their work, I can't see how anyone can do the work productively.  Tried 3 different wav players and spent waaaaaay too much time on three dictations of less than 2 minutes.  Left a blank on one and have been kicking self since I figured it out.  Guess I won't be hearing from them.

MedNotes - Posted By: wandering

what about?? - Posted By: memt

Does anyone know anything about Sten-Tel?  Is  this a good company?



Is this weird? - Posted By: 2timemom

I am new to this board and new to transcription in general, so let me know if this is usual behavior for companies that hire new graduates.  I was hired by a company a few months ago as an IC and worked for them for a week.  I was told that my accuracy was not high enough and was offered the chance to move to a RAD account.  I said I wanted to try it and she never sent me my login information even after I emailed her several times.  She kept telling me she was waiting for it and that I would get it soon.  It has now been several months and I haven't heard from her.  However, she did send my first (and final, apparently) check with $30 deducted from it for a pedal she said I needed that she had sent to me awhile back.  Anyway, this is probably a stupid question but do I need to contact her at all regarding dissolving my contract?  It seemed to me like she didn't think my accuracy was good enough and just wanted to drop me like a hot potato...has this ever happened to anyone?

Telescribe - Posted By: Michelle C

Hi everyone!!


I was just notified by Telescribe that I did very well on their test and that I would be contacted about an IC position. Does anyone work for or have info about this company?


Thanks,

Are there any companies out there that actually send you a test that -sm - Posted By: Wilson

you can hear so that you can actually type what is being said or are they all so distorted so bad that no one could possibly make out what is being said???  I currently started looking and so far I haven't gotten a test yet that I can possibly make out more than half of what is being said.  I am starting to get discouraged. 


Thanks.

Webmedx nosedive - Posted By: Sandi

I work on the Chartmatrix side. Has anyone else experienced a sharp decline in work? My primary account is practically nonexistent, so I am pretty much completely dependent on my backup accounts, which are awful. Not what I signed up for. Something is going on, but I can't get answers.


I have seen posts about J & J. Any updates on that?

Allstate Transcription -- is anybody happily working there? SM - Posted By: JT

Their ad sounds like what I'm looking for, but it seems like there was negative discussion about them a while back.



companies with easy acct. specs. - Posted By: easydoesit

Am I asking for the moon, are there any companies that have accounts with account specifics that are easily memorized and followed?  I recently signed up with a respectable, well-liked service, but the acct. specs. are a nightmare.  In the past, I've worked with accounts that were pretty straightforward as far as specs.  Guess I shouldn't have switched companies.

Incentives - who has them? - Posted By: me

I've read a couple of posts where MTs mention incentives, goals, bonuses and I'm interested in finding out which companies actually reward or motivate MTs to do more than just the minimum required, aside from just getting more lines. Thanks!

Diskriter...had something funky happen... - Posted By: MTness

Does anyone have experience with testing for this company? I recently applied for a hospital position, went through an extensive phone interview, completed testing, got a call I was hired, then a call later in the day rejecting me (??) because of where I live. All that information was available from the start, so something does not 'feel' right.

Would love to hear from anyone with any more insight.

Thank you!

QA compensation - anyone happy with what you're making? - Posted By: GotTheTShirt

I'm sorely tempted to look into a QA position and I was wondering how the compensation compared to transcribing.  I would love to be paid hourly, but it seems most offer by-the-line pay.  I know there are variables (platform, ESL, etc.) but I'm trying to come up with some type of comparable compensation formula just as a jumping-off point for negotiation.  Anyone care to elaborate on what they're earning, how they're paid, and how this compares to their transcribing earnings? 



Keystrokes versus Smartmed - Posted By: Pammy

Any opinions.  Keystrokes sounds insanely good, but with everybody going there to work, I am afraid they will be overbooked.  I heard Smartmed was hard dictation. Is this possibly truth?
