softscript--any recent info?

hi, all.  i searched the boards for recent info on softscript; latest is from august--not very postive.  they say they're interested in an RN w/ MT experience & sent the link to their test.  just want to know if anyone working for them now (or who has worked w/ them recently) has any input.


thank you!    


recent Softscript Info-sm

anyone have any recent info on SoftScript such as how much they pay and if they are okay.  please do not tell me to look at archives; I have already done that.  I want RECENT info please.  thanks


Softscript for Recent Grad Good?

Recently graduated from 1 of the Big 3 & SoftScript offered me a position.  Mixed reviews from what I saw - anyone have an opinion on them considering I have no experience yet?  They are offering 7 cpl.  TIA. 


Yes, recent experience
I applied in late August, but it took until just a week ago to receive passwords to work.

Very hands off management in my opinion, although very polite on phone. I think there is just not enough staff.

Also, very low error rate threshhold , but currently no QA and/or no way to flag a report. I was very very uncomfortable with the set up so I did not proceed.

YOU; however, might have better luck. :)
My recent experience with them was horrible.
There are a couple of MW cheerleaders here who bash me every time, but there are far better companies out there. They offshore. The sound quality and ESLs suck, for lack of a better word. I got ZERO QA feedback. They send out tons of emails and documents that don't even apply to everyone. They were completely rude and unhelpful to me.
Anyone have any recent experience with Encompass MT? sm

Any information would be appreciated.  They sent me a card in the mail, extolling their virtues, but I have never heard of them.


TIA


Anyone have any recent experience w/Continuum?
They are out of Syracuse, NY.  The most recent postings in the archives are from 2006.  Would love to hear pros and cons of the company.  I am looking for full-time employee status/benefits.  Thanks!
I have had recent experience with FI and I would suggest
you give them a try.  Their techs are overseas but much many of their MTs and accounts are here.  The work I QA'd was done by American MTs - I've done both so I know.  Like another poster down below tho - I would never give notice somewhere else - I would try both for a while and then make the change to one if you truly like it - it will only take a week to 10 days for you to find out if you like it.
Recent hospital experience
My MIL is very ill and has been admitted to the same hospital ER and nephrology unit 6 times in the July/Aug. The staff comes in with that computer for EMR and they ask her the same questions over every time. I keep laughing at them and telling them, why don't you just pull up her past history from last time and not put her through this again? They seem unable to do this. What a joke.
Anyone with recent experience with Sten-Tel
out of Massachusetts? Found some old posts, but nothing very recent. TIA!
MedScribe,Jacksonville - any recent experience
Anyone here work for MedScribe in Jacksonville? Looking for current info, the good, the bad, and the ugly, lol!

Thanks in advance.
The experience I had with softscript (sm)

was very positive.  The recruiter was helpful, the people in California were super nice.  I ended up not taking the job due to local job reasons but it seemed pretty decent.  I haven't heard anything bad about them but I usually make my own decisions because what is good for me, might not be good for you.


You do have to schedule a set # of hours/days and you can't change for 6 months but you're a statutory employee so if that's not a problem for you, that's great.  It was for me because of my local job. 


Anyone with RECENT experience w/ Zylomed? I understand they have changed ... sm
upper management a couple of times and am wondering how it is to work there now . Thanks!
Anyone currently work for All Type or have recent experience with the company? sm

I'm currently exploring my options, and was impressed with the $1000 signon bonus offered, but wondering about the usual things -- quality and quantity of work available, pay on time, etc.


 


Any input would be appreciated. 


Anyone has recent experience with Med-Scribe out of FL that could share, good, bad, or indifferent??
Thanks. I want to make an informed decision if I proceed with them. As everyone, you get tired of wasting your time on companies that are not worth it so I'm doing a little research on this one. Can anyone help??
Thanks! This helped me a lot....nm
x
Yep, me too. Nothing I did helped either. nm

Thanks! This helped a bunch. I know have my
questions answered.
thanks, you have helped me with my decision

I do too, and they helped me recently
when I had a low-virtual memory problem and I wasn't savvy enough to know what to do. Busy as they are, they didn't make me feel stupid for needing help with it.
Forum helped with my decision about OSI
OSI didn't tell me they outsource jobs to India in their job offer, and I refuse to work for a company that does this.

Thanks to this forum, I learned about this and chose to go with a company that does not outsource. I ignore some of the inane comments, but to do nothing but praise a company here is unrealistic. I read all the proof I needed to help me make a decision.

Why would it be so difficult to simply remove crazy things like, "Oh, you are nuts if you work for them," and leave comments such as, "I have had no work on this account for one week," and she soon learned on this forum that it was because the jobs were sent to India. I don't know why you believe it is necessary to remove the entire string.

Thank you.
Thanks for OTI input. Helped alot.
Appreciate it.  Sounds good to me other than that program problem.  They should use word 2000 and be done with it.
Thanks.. Helped a ton. I have already been through that. No work yet they are always hiring. That is
ridiculous..
Thanks for the detailed opinions! Really helped :)

Think I'll stay MT and just get DISCIPLINED.


They have not helped the economy of the masses
in India who need help. They have helped to deepen the rift between the classes, - the rich get rich, etc. The poor in India cannot even consider moving to get work now because the cost of housing in cities has escalated since we have created jobs for those who really did not need jobs. And those who need health care are really suffering and why? Because the trained doctors and nurses are the ones who have become the transcriptionists, since the transcriptionists make more than a doctor does in India. Check your facts on India. This one-sided trade agreement with India is not helping anyone but the big companies in America who can get work done cheaply. The companies HAVE increased their rates for the hospitals, have decreased our salaries by this farce they call voice recognition and reduced their costs even further by offshoring the work.

A call from the CEO? I do not even know his/her name, nor the names of any of the corporate officers. That is how much they care about me. Yeah, I got a mouse pad, a 1x12 inch glue down calendar, and a pen. I got more than that from the Golden Arches when they gave me a chicken sandwich when they opened up a new line 2 months ago. At least everyone in my family got a free sandwich.
People Who Don't Want to be Educated Can't Be Helped
The reasons for the outrage have been numerous and posted below. I am not going to qualify my answers to anyone who is too blind to see.

If you don't like this thread, then skip it. Easy enough.
Ask for names of churches that do this. One helped me which I did not attend.
After div, major surgery and getting screwed by MQ, I was facing a disconnect. Begged them. Certain churches do not turn to govt for help, help each other (Mormons for one). I called churches, one after the other. When I got back on my feet, I paid it back as a donation.
Unions haven't helped much in years
Sadly, they've become more of a corporation themselves. You pay dues and if a conpany wants to bail or relocate or outsource, they still can and do.
Thanks Wendy! You've helped alot! (nm)

Here, here. Exactly my experience also, even down to the 10 year work experience. nm

What recent changes? nm

nm


This was recent thank you
I did take a leap of faith with them and they do pay on time now. They turned that around but nothing else. I stuck up for them and got burned bigtime. All I said was they do not understand what an IC is and were very rude when I pointed it out. Not a vendetta, just a warning. Check them out and ask a lot of questions for clarification. That was all i was saying.
Anything recent on SPi - sm

Since the archives are acting up, need something current on SPi from someone in the know.  Pay, work schedules, how they are to work with, etc. 


Thanks.


Not recent, but I can say ...
Of all the companies I've worked for, they were by far and away my favorite. Easy platform, great dictators, (mostly) fantastic management. But, it's been over 4 years since I've worked for them.

I had been with them for a couple of years, had my set dictators, and they hired a new manager for my account who completely ripped everyone up and around and didn't communicate at all what she was doing or why. Long story short, there was a pretty big fall out with that account and several of us left. A month or two later, I heard she was fired.

I think about going back to them sometimes, honestly. And I would in a heartbeat, if they were like the old T-C I worked for back in the day. Can't say if they are or not, but historically they were a great company to work for.

Good luck!
Is there anything recent in there?
Everything I saw was from 4 to 6 years ago in the archives when they were using C-phones and only hiring IC's.

Does anyone work there now or worked there recently with any insight?
Anyone have recent info on OSI? nm
.
6 to 7-1/2 cpl for the most recent job posting!!! Don't think much of us, do they?...nm

What's up with all the recent firings?

Anyone have any recent OSI information?

Are benefits as good as they sound?  How's the pay rate for acute and/or radiology?  How are they to work for?  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.


Any recent info on DSG?
Have been offered a job and wondering of pros and cons.  TIA.
two recent interviews

I thought you might enjoy these two tidbits from recent interviews with unnamed companies.  When I asked the first recruiter/owner about the insurance they offered in their ad, I was told that contract had lapsed and there was not a new one signed yet.  She went on to volunteer her opinion that people are better off without health insurance -- that way you can use the free clinics (TRUE story).  The second one advertised 8.5 to 10 cpl transcription and 0.4 to 0.5 VR.  Unfortunately, those positions (although I applied within minutes of the post)  were filled but I was offered 8 cpl transcription and 0.3 VR.  Bait and switch much?


 


You will see that their most recent posting was for QA!

Any recent information on
TIA
Anyone with recent info on
how work is at Stenomed, ad on job board?  TIA
MDI-MD - Recent Hires

Just curious - if you had a phone interview, was the recruiter on time to call you? I had one scheduled but haven't received any contact.


Anyone else with this experience?


Any recent info on TNI?

Feel free to e-mail me if you don't feel comfortable posting.  Thanks!


Any recent SPi info? sm
The archives have nothing very recent and nothing very nice to say about this company.  Have things improved there over the last year?  I notice their line count requirements are lower than most companies.  Does this indicate an inability to provide MTs with enough work or good sound files?  ANY recent information would be appreciated.  Thanks!
Did you apply to either of their most recent ads and if so
did you hear back from them?
Recent TTS info anyone? (sm)
Wondering if anybody could post updated, recent info on TTS as to how the work load and getting paid on time have been for the past 6 months or so ???  TIA.
Is two months ago recent enough?.....
....I sincerely doubt they have changed their ways in the past two months, since I was terminated.

Be very, very careful if you accept any of their offers. Everything stated in old posts here are correct....and I know this by first hand experience and also from co-workers who had been there at the same time as I was, and experienced same or worse.....eventually.....

I wish you luck, but I'm afraid you will be sadly disappointed, perhaps not right away, but given enough time, if you go to work for them.
I noticed recent ads for MDI-MD
on MTJobs says full and part-time IC positions are available. Something new they are offering?
