I am an IC for Omniscribe...
and have never been happier. I started near the very beginning - about a month after her first major account. My checks are not late. _____ works very hard to keep her MTs happy by providing us with our own forum, keeping us up-to-date on things happening with the company, and providing plenty of feedback and encouragement. I have worked for major nationals and the difference is night and day. I am thrilled with my job and LOVE working for Omniscribe and for ____. I'm not sure who this other person is but I have communicated with every employee that has been at Omni. I will say it again. Checks have not been late. ____ is all about encouraging her MTs. She does demand high-quality work, but then I demand the same of myself. Those are the facts.
Omniscribe
I really hate to get into a war of words on a board, but feel the need to tell you that I think Omniscribe has been unfairly represented. I have been with them for 2 years now, and it is a great company to work for. I would strongly recommend that if you are interested in getting an unbiased opinion, you contact the owner and ask to speak with one of her current employees. After all, anyone NOT still working for her probably has an ax to grind. Please don't hesitate to apply! - You will be very happy you did.

I have worked at Omniscribe for almost a year now, and I love it here. I had worked at 2 of the big national companies in the past, and I am so much happier here than I was at either of those companies. The owner here really tries to work with her MTs. I never felt I was more than a number at the other places. I also love the account I work on.


This is a great company for newbies because they are given lots of guidance and feedback.


I have no complaints and plan to stay a long, long time!



Omniscribe
I live in Idaho and have never heard of this company, where is it
Omniscribe
Can anyone give me any information on Omniscribe?  All of the posts I found were old.  Anything current would be great.  If you want you can email me.  Thanks in advance.
Omniscribe?
Anyone got any info?  I checked the board, but I haven't found much out there.  I am curious about them.
As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Omniscribe in Idaho?
I've searched and read the archives, but I'm looking for more recent information. Thanks!
Happy with Omniscribe as well!!!
I have to reiterate what the previous defender of Omniscribe had to say. I have been with Omniscribe for about 6 weeks now, and I am perfectly happy with the owner, QA personnel, training, etc., as well as the rest of the staff. All have been very helpful and considerate of me during my training. Any questions have been answered quickly through either IM or e-mail. The owner has been very understanding of my personal needs and very respectful of me as a contractor.

Be very careful of adopting opinions from people who do not have first-hand experience with a company. While boards like this can be useful tools in your job search, adopting someone else's opinion as your own without speaking with an actual employee or two could cause you to miss out on a very nice employment arrangement for yourself.

I'm happy at Omniscribe!


Omniscribe Rocks!
Okay, so the subject of this messages says it all. I have not been with Omniscribe for very long, just a few months, but I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 10 years and have worked for a few different companies. I would highly recommend this company to any new or established medical transcriptionist. I LOVE the account I work on and really love the flexibility offered by this company. Yes, they DEMAND high quality, (the highest standards I have come across to date), but I would not have it any other way. Kresta is a fair and delightful person to work for and I would suggest if you are looking for a great company to work for...look no further. Note to the flamer of the negative post, to quote Shakespeare The lady doth protest too much, me thinks. (smirk). D
Another happy Omniscribe IC
I just wanted to say that I am really happy at Omniscribe. I feel like I am part of a very strong team. I am a newbie, and I love the support, patience, training, and QA people. They always answer my questions promptly. The owner is a very encouraging person, and she is very understanding. I love Omniscribe! I feel appreciated!
OmniScribe.....please read....
Hi everybody!!  Yesterday, OmniScribe contacted me through email and asked me to take a test for them.  It was not the typical test where they ask you about your grammar skills and medical knowledge and stuff like that.  It asked really off the wall questions.  Has anyone else had this experience with them or any other agencies?  Any and all questions, comments or otherwise are welcome.  Thanks!
OOPS!! SORRY I MEANT OMNISCRIBE

Why no recent posts about Omniscribe? Everyone happy there?
Thx
OmniScribe.....has anyone heard of this company? Just wondering because they
offered to test me.  Thanks
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts.  Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others.  Overall, wonderful company.
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact.  It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators.   VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster. 
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I

I will share this about the MTSO I work for.  I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week.  Would she be able to cover my work.  She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip. 


And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for.  To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.


It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.

There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to

Are you required to work major holdays at KS. I know nature of biz to work them. Thanks for info. nm

Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Don't know about radiology work load, but we have been scratching in the dirt for work for a numb

of months now.  They hire, lose account, hire again before new accounts comes onboard, then have overhired, having to put new MT's on the current low workload. 


Medical field is 24/7 work unless you work for a clinic or stand alone operation.
I just look at the other cool people working holidays and weekends in the ICU, ER, paramedics,and am glad to be there. When you work in a hospital for a length of time, it becomes a necessary evil to show up at the worst possible times.

Having a family or a life you'd miss from Friday at 5 PM to Monday at 8 PM must be hard and

I think that there is a place for you where they can meet your requirements (M-F). There are plenty of those jobs.
They require that you work in house until your have clean QA for 3 paydays then you can work

All nationals I work for you only work 40 hours unless they approve overtime.

I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
The bid has nothing to do with consistancy of work. MTSO cannot control how cosistant work is.
:+
I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Like I said - it depends who you work for. I work for a hospital at home - not a company. nm

I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.

I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.


I work on it. Usual amount of work. Not running out but not backlogged either. They seem to have
about the right staffing on it. Hope that helps.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
I actually left about a year ago and work for another company that's running out of work. Have to

I so wholeheartedly agree with you. Don't work for KS but work for SS - another company bashed
Works GREAT for me and I love SS. I never really care what the negatives are as I have found they are usually people that can't make their lines, don't work the hours they commit to or just overall do not care!
don't like ASR/VSR -- all work going that direction -- causing very low work situation for awhile
Just a little message since you asked.  Hardly any regular paid transcription work left for TT MT's (transcribing as in the old days, I am speaking of).
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines.  Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
