the third time is the charm...it is
DeVenture.
3rd time's a charm or 3 strikes you're out
Another childish travel tale, thanks for telling about it! LOL
Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.


PAID DOWN TIME by Diskriter - sm
Who are they kidding? I have to agree with the above poster, Diskriter does make Medquist look like a wonderful company. IT EVEN MAKES Spheris LOOK GOOD!

By the way, when did Diskriter start hiring PT????
Part-time with Diskriter
Actually, I was first offered a FT job and told that they do not hire PT. I told them I was not interested in FT. I was called back the next day and told they found a spot for me for PT. From what I have read here, I think I will go with Landmark unless a better offer comes up.
Diskriter pays on time
Diskriter has been in business for a long time. It is an established professional organization.
Any info on Diskriter?

 Is there lots of work?  How is QA?  Are you on a "time clock", where they monitor your computer?  How are benefits?   Thanks    


Info on Diskriter
I have been with Diskriter since January, I haven't had a problem with work and benefits are good, especially when I think of what I was paying with my last employer, Diskriter just switched to Highmark Blue Cross which I am happy about!
Diskriter info...sm
I left DR after 3 months.  Platform is not easy (CareFlow) and sound is not always good.  You have to look at so many screens before you type, and look up names, or correct the shell, or go to your email and download names and instructions in PDF format that you will find you type 50% of the time and waste the other 50% of your shift looking up stuff and doing you email.  I don't care which account you are on, when the Account Manager of one account puts out a call for help to meet her TurnAroundTime, you account manager will lend you out, because missing TAT costs the company and the Account Manager money.  I did as many as 4 account in one day, and 3 was not unheard of.  I mean, they put you on an account with no instructions and you only know its a new or different account when you get the job and start emailing for help.  The MT is the least important member of the team to Diskriter.  A SmartSource account is working for a hospital with Diskriter managing it for the Hospital.  I have not done this so can't say if it is good or not.  I will only work for an hourly wage from now on, I need to know that the bread I put on the table is based on my hard work and not the whims of the docs who dictate, cause when you work by the line, when the doc has a bad day, YOU HAVE A BAD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!  No more of those for me...
Diskriter info sm

Diskriter does pay for down-time, just got an email today that confirmed it on our account because we got caught up for the first time in months and had about an hour with low work load - supervisor said document the time, if your schedule doesn't allow you to make it up, then put down-time on timesheet and it will be paid.  They pay down-time for meetings too.  Whoever posted that, obviously has never had down-time or they would know it is paid, why else would there be a slot on the timesheet to document it? DUH!


I have looked elsewhere and never gotten any better offers with other companies.  There is always work (except for 1 hour this morning on the account I'm, which was just weird).  As far as their offshoring, it is minimal, they don't deny it and it is at clients request who don't want to pay for our work, but it is all QAd by Diskriter's U.S. MTs.


They are hiring PT because we need people nights and weekends and most people don't want those hours and that's all they can find is PT help for those hours.  If they could have staffed it with full-time, we wouldn't need more people now would we. 


Some of you people just don't know what your talking about that post here.  If you think they sound good, go for it, we would love to have you.


Diskriter info
Thanks for all the information, but I didn't mean to get anyone upset.  I have made my decision anyway and I am starting soon with Diskriter soon.  I guess I figure things out with them as I good.  Thanks again.
DISKRITER.....ANY INFO???
I have an interview with them next week wanted to know if anyone has any opinions good or bad about them????  Thanks!!  :)
Diskriter...info please...sm
I am trying to decide whether to take a job with this Diskriter.  They have great benefits that I am looking for.  I have read both bad and good about them, but was looking for recent info on them.  If you could email me personally if you do not want to reply here I would greatly appreciate it.  I just want to know what I am getting into.  I know all companies have good and bad, but it is nice to know what to look out for and what questions to ask up front.  Thanks and hope everyone is having a wonderful day. 
Diskriter, Inc. - anyone have any info?

diskriter info

I'm considering a position with Diskriter, have to test tomorrow.  Recruiter mentioned it is a 2 hour test, any give any info on how the test is structured, that seems to be a long time to test for something I may or may not accept.  Also, anyone working with Diskriter have any pro or cons to share.  Thanks


Diskriter info

Any Diskriter transcriptionists out there who work on the hem/onc account they are advertising on the job board?  Please e-mail with the following information:  How difficult is the account in regard to ESL dictators?  What is their starting rate for a very experienced hem/onc person?  What platform do they use?  Is it a good one or bad one?


I would appreciate any info you may have regarding these questions.  Thanks.


Anyone with info on Diskriter, Inc.? sm

Anyone know what platform they use?  Easy or difficult to learn?  Do they pay on time, etc?  Any info much appreciated.


Diskriter info
I was offered a position at Diskriter.  I just wanted some feedback from people who work there or have worked there.  What kind of company it is?  Speech recognition work?  Base pay? etc.  Any info would be appreciated.
Info on Webmedx and Diskriter please. sm
Would like to hear info on these 2 companies and it is always helpful to hear from current as well as former employees.  Thanks!!!
Diskriter Info Needed

Looking for info from recent employees about platform, pay, benefits, incentives, time off, etc.  Searched archives and sounded pretty good.  Good/bad appreciated.  Thanks! 


Any info on Probity and Diskriter
would be appreciated. 
Diskriter info wanted
I just applied for a hospital employee position with Diskriter since it sounds so great. Are they a good, reliable company to work for? Do they treat their MTs well and pay on time? Also, is their platform easy to work with and easy to get a good line count with? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Current Diskriter Info

I realize someone just asked yesterday about current info on Diskriter, but responses only addressed pay from August 2007.  Anyone care to share about current pay, ease of platform, amount of ESLs, etc.??  Thank you very much.



 


Any current info on Diskriter?
I'm looking on info regarding platform, pay, cost of benefits, and if I can use my mobile broadband laptop card to access their system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Diskriter editors-Would like info on working as an
editor at Diskriter...hours, pay, platform, people, etc.  TIA.
Any info on Diskriter? Other companies FT with bennies?
I keep seeing jobs for home-based MTs with hospital benefits, employed by the hospital system in Florida, etc. I'd sure appreciate if anyone could provide info on this company. I've love to be in a work situation like this again, but know nothing about the company. I'm sick and tired of MQ. Need a FT situation with good benefits and MQs are so expensive and I think the out of pocket is ridiculous compared to what I've always had in the past. Thanks so much.
The only time I tried to apply at Diskriter I had to take a transcription test and it was horrible.
The sound quality was so bad that I just could not take the test. Even though I have 14 years of experience in acute care, they would not hire me because I could not do the transcription test. I would have been happy with just a written, or even a transcription test with better sound quality. I wonder how many people were put off by that. Maybe it was just me.

companies change all the time - her info is old, she said. (sm/small message)
A turnover in managers,QA, leads, even recruiters can make an impact and happens all the time, so you never know; old info - grain of salt. newer info more reliable and needs to be found while considering.


Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
 
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time?  I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to.  If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info.  Thanks!
MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.

The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.

Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm

Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm
nm
I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it.  I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that?  I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life).  Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything.  I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family.  At least my dogige understands. 
I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me
