Anyone have any recent info on Sten-Tel out of Massachusetts? Old posts were rather confusing sm
as to whether the company was Indian or not.  There is an ad up on another board for editors.  Are they offshore?  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 have any recent experience with SoftScript? Wonder if the changes have really helped. nm

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.
I have experience and never heard back from them. They're a Sten-Tel branch. nm

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??

I love working on the Sten Tel platform.  Very user friendly, a good Work based platform.  I pull off my jobs and put them in a folder and work from that folder.  A bonus is if I lose Internet connection, I can continue to work out of my folder and just u/l when get Internet back. 
Sten-Tel
I have worked for them for about 6 months now....I do mostly editing with voice recognition...I enjoy it very much, and I have found the company to be extremely flexible and very nice!

I've never heard of sten-tel.  is it a stenography company?
sten-tel
As far as I know, tranny is slang for transvestite... What in the world could that mean?? Good luck.
Sten-tel
I start training with them next week, so I am afraid I can't be much help info wise, but if you would like I would be happy to tell you how it goes. I, personally, have only heard positive things about this company. In my opinion, if the pay is what you are looking for and you want an IC position, then go for it.

Sten-Tel
Any one have feedback on this company?  I was hired for a QA/editor position but have heard nothing since.....????
Sten-Tel

I work for Sten-Tel, and they are THE nicest people.  This is the second time I have worked for them, so I am on a different account than the last time, but I really like working there.


 


Sten-Tel
There is no work at Sten-Tel right now for the past 2 to 3 days!! 
I wonder if she is still there at Sten-Tel.
She was more than ignorant with her carelessness.

Sten-Tel
Do they offer Radiology positions?
Sten-Tel
Go to the MTJobs.com board and you'll see that in the Sten-Tel job listing, there are phone numbers and a link to their email! Check them out!
Sten-Tel
If you go to www.mtjobs.com Sten-tel has 2 ads on there, one for MT one for editor. Hope that helps.
Which Sten-Tel
Can you tell me which Sten-Tel you work for? In doing a search I find a lot of companies with the Sten-Tel name. Also, are you an IC or an employee. Thank you
Sten-tel does
if you go to www.mtjobs.com and look, Sten-tel is hiring MTs and editors. They are all IC positions.

I worked for Sten-Tel for a short time doing QA work PT. I didn't have much experience with the company but what I did have was good. The program was good. The people were great. There always seemed to be tons of work. The pay for QA was a little low compared to others but no complaints about the company. Like I said though, I just worked part time for a while.
Sten-Tel? sm
I got an offer from Sten-Tel and the pay seems pretty good but I've heard some not-so-great things. Any recent info on their MA office?
Sten-Tel
They are not a very high paying company, even with experienced transcriptionists.
SteN-Tel..... sorry!!
I can't believe I misspelled that?!?!?!  LOL

Hi.  Has anyone worked for sten-tel?  if so, what platform do they use?  How are they to work for?  Are you able to have flexibility with your schedule?  is the pay decent?


Any help would be very much appreciated


sten-tel
I'm confused.  Why is there a company called sten-tel with a website?
sten-tel
the one I am looking into is in MA also. how long ago did you work for them? They told me I could keep a total of the line count myself in the tools box. Do you have to type on various platforms?
I appreciate your help.
sten-tel
I worked for them about two years ago, for about three weeks time. I used their platform, but only for downloading and uploading files. I used Word to type my reports. Yes, I do remember being able to *view* a total of my line count, but they did the counting, not me. I did not have to type into their platform at that time, but as the poster below suggested, *who I don't think is too reliable*, they may have accounts where you do use a different platform to type into. It all depends on the account I suppose. I just hope the male coordinator I had is no longer there. He used IM to keep track of me and even when I was not scheduled to be working, he would ask me why I was not working. He was awful. When I told him I no longer wanted to work for him because he really did not seem to have a handle on the coordinating part of his job, he sent me *copies* of my work stating that words were missing, etc. and that my work was subquality. I don't know why he did not realize that I had copies of my own work that proved that I had no missing words. I threatened to report him to management and he left me alone after that. mind you, I had already quit by that time. I cannot remember his name. Just be careful, okay? I had a bad experience with them, so I am not completely objective, but I would not completely trust them, either. JMO. good luck.
sten-tel

this doesn't sound good.  I finally got a hold of other posts on them.  Do you think you have to be careful when working as a IC as far as getting paid on time?  Do you mind me asking who you work for?  I get many hopeful prospects in then in the end it does not look good.  I hate to jump from the fire to the frying pan.


Thank you for your help. 


sten-tel

anyone have anything good to say about sten-tel.  I saw some postings on here not too good but just wondering if anyone has had a good experience with them. 


Sten-Tel, in MA
I was wondering if anybody has any info on them?  I am supposed to start working with them and just want to opinions/experiences.  Also, I know their pay is low, but do you still make a decent amount of money?
Sten-tel

I have worked for them for about a year also.  Checks always on time, pleasant people and no one bugs me.  You would have to see what they offer you and that would depend on your experience and how you test.  They will hire MTs with less than a year and they also offer you work in other specialties if you need more work.  I work when I feel like it:)


There are other companies with better benefits and platforms but this is a decent company that pays on time, and if you need flexibility you will certainly find that with them.


sten-tel
Is sten-tel a franchise like a mcdonalds?  ?  I thought I saw this somewhere on this site but cannot find it now.  So if you get hired for them, who actually are you working for?
R&B Sten-Tel
Anyone have any experience with this company?
Sten-Tel
I have worked for Sten-Tel for almost a year. I have never not received my pay check on time and have never had it be incorrect. I am on 3 accounts and NEVER run out of work unless it's some sort of holiday and is slow for a day or a half a day. Everyone has been nothing but professional to me, and my experience has been good. Some people hear one person say something negative about a company and assume there's nothing good there. I know a lot of happy people at Sten-Tel. Good luck in your decision. Becky
Sten-Tel
Please email me if you have any info on Sten-Tel.  Appreciate it! Considering position.
Sten-Tel
I work for them currently,they pay on time and they are pleasant to deal with. They have been very flexible with work schedules.
Sten-Tel QA
Is Sten-Tel understanding with MT scheduling needs? I am so unhappy where I am now and I want out, but I cannot work set shifts until my youngest child is a bit older and doesn't need me so much for homework help ect . . .
sten-tel
I worked there a while and then quit due to the low pay. They were paying next to nothing for an IC status position. They weren't worth the trouble and I think they are the only company left not using direct deposit.  They also have started only paying once a month so that is a big pain
Sten-Tel
They offered me a job a one point and the E-mail wasn't working for over a month. They screwed around and around and I got sick of waiting. Also, they had me scheduled to work from the Mass. office, but there was no 800 number to call. Not worth the long distance phone calls for the pay. I got sick of the E-mail not working and I didn't feel the need to buy calling cards to phone them long distance and beg for my training to start. Walked away and haven't looked back.
Sten-Tel
I was QA with them for about 6 months. They definitely paid on time. They have plenty of work and you can always ask for more and also you can take a secondary acct. Very easy to learn.
I wouldn't hesitate.
