DSG stand for Dictation Services Group

In Reply to: DSG How Sad! - Lynda

I will NEVER apply for this company. I think I have before in the past when they have placed ads, but if they ever call me, I will give them a piece of my mind!

DSG (Dictation Services Group-GA)
Does anyone have any info as to why this company seems to be hiring a lot lately? Are they having a bit exodus of transcriptionists? Any info would be appreciated. I would consider working for DSG, but some recent posts and DSG's recent numerous ads make me leery. Thanks.
Dictation Services Group
Anyone know anything about this company...I saw they use DocQScribe according to the Job Seekers Board and they're looking for QA for all shifts. TIA!
Dictation Services Group
Anyone currently working for this company care to comment on:

1. Workload
2. volume of ESL's
3. Are managers friendly and do they return emails?
4. Good benefits?


Dictation Services Group

good/bad?  I put in a resume for QA at MQ months ago and have been called back about it but it's a bunch of hurry up and wait speech--i'm supposed to get a position there but i'm applying elsewhere jic.  Saw the ad for Dictation Services Group QA position and thought I would apply...thoughts?

DSG, Dictation Services Group.
I have seen varying opinions on DSG on this board in recent months and how some think that the company has gone down hill over the last year or so. I am curious as to whether others think that it is the whole company that is having the problems or if it is a case of the old DSG and DSG2 being run differently. I am with DSG2. I will say, like others that pay is always on time, although it is sad that that is a sign of a good company. I like the DocQScribe platform ok, although there are a lot of features that could be better, starting with the spell checker. I feel that there is a huge lack of good feedback, especially for newbies. Supervisors are extremely hard to get a hold of, especially at night, and even during the day emails go unanswered at least 3/4 of the time, but they don't want us to IM them. The few times I have gotten an IM answer to an email, it was short and factual to the point of being rude. I am not looking to chat, but a little common courtesy goes a long ways. And don't even get me started on the messages that come with the updates, that sound totally fake and desperate. Anyway, I was just wondering if this was a personal preference sort of thing or if it was that certain parts of the company are better than others.
Dictation Services Group, Inc.

Does anyone have information on a company called Dictation Services Group, Inc.?  They are in Atlanta.  Anyone with info may feel free to reply to me privately.  I am completing a test for them and wondered about the company.


 


Thanks in advance!


Dictation Services Group

Does anyone have any information they are willing to share about this company.  I noted they  have an ad on MT Daily?  Is DocQScribe easy to learn?   I note their recruiter used to be with another company that I now work for which does not pay for those spaces and now am having  a lot of server problems and have to wait for reports to go to server before I can start with another one, very very frustrating.  Dictation Services Group  pays for spaces, but are wanting MTs mostly for second shift.  I work a split shift.


 


Dictation Services Group

Followup:   I did test with them.  There was a written test  with 33 questions and then typing test with 5 reports.  Sound quality was good.  There was one foreign accent on a heart cath. 


The thing is that I know the recruiter from meeting her when she worked with SPi as theier recruiter and they were the company that my hospital outsourced too.  Well the recruiter left SPi.  I had to send two Emails and yesterday she said she would call me yesterday.  Yesterday has come and gone and still no phone call.  She said she had to hire 40 people.  I just wanted to know if I passed or failed.  I had to go to work for SPi but they do not pay for spaces.  DSG test can be done with open book and was not bad.   Good Luck if you go for it. 


Dictation Services Group

If there any information about this company that anyone would want to share that actually works for them.  Is there enough work to make a decent paycheck or you guys that work for them sit and wait on work a lot?    Their platform which I hear is not hard to learn.  Thanks ahead of time. 


Dictation Services Group

Question on current DSG MT's.  When there is plenty of work, how hard is it to reach 1000 lines a day.  Can it be accomplished in an 8 hour day?   Is DocQScribe hard to learn?  I am currently working for MT Company and I have an opportunity maybe to change to DSG but I so afraid of the unknown anymore.  I just do not want to jump out of the frying pan into the fire so to speak.  I am so tired of learning account specifics anymore my mind is just frazzled at this time.   I like perks about both companies and this is a hard decision to make.  One perk is I have to work on Sat for one company and on the other hand the other I do not have to work unless I need to make up for lost time or make up for lost lines.  This is a hard decision.  One company I have to do about 800 lines a day and the other company is about 1000 lines a day, one pays for spaces and one does not.  Just confused at this time and would like to have more opinions. Thanks


anyone out there ever heard of Dictation Services Group (DSG)?

They had a post on MT stars and MT jobs a couple of weeks ago.  I sent a resume' but never heard back.  I followed up the resume with an e-mail inquiring if they were still hiring, but again never heard anything.  I have been transcribing for 15+ years, but have not done too much moving around from company to company.  Is this the way most companies operate?  How much time does it take to respond to an e-mail (and yes even if you get a hundred) and advise whether or not they are still hiring.  I am a little disappointed.  I have experience with the platform they are using and the type of account they were hiring for.  Any feedback would be appreciated.


 


Thanks

Dictation Services Group out of Jacksonville, FL
Being an MT for 7 years, I was just hired with this company 2 weeks ago and the very next day, I came down with a sinus infection and bronchitis on top of that. I was sicker than a dog still and my start date was the next day. They were very compasionate and understanding, and my supervisor even suggested taking a few more days before starting in hopes that I would feel even better. However, the account I was put on in the DQS system was horrible; voice torque was too high and you couldn't understand anything the dictator was saying. I then emailed them and told them exactly why I did not think I was going to be able to accept the position with them and my supervisor emailed me back asking me to try another account before totally making that decision. Hence, I have only worked on the other account for 2 days and I absolutely love it.

In working for a company in CA with heavy ESL dictators, DSG's ESL dictators are nothing compared to them, but that may depend on the account you work on.

As far as feedback, they try to get back to you in a timely manner. You do have to take into consideration that you are not the only MT requesting information and it does take time to reply to all those emails.

With that said, I have to give them a definite great company to work for considering my situation upon hire there. Ask me in another month what I think and I hope to say the same.

Good luck in job hunting. I'm sure you will find a company that works for you; it just takes time and patience to find that company.

Dictation Service Group questions
I have been offered a position but don't want to go from one fryin pan to another.  Does anyone know if they are decent people to deal with?  Do they have a good flow of work and a decent platform? 
Digital Services Group, any info

Has anyone had experiences with this company, i.e. staff, software, accounts, good pay (and ontime), etc.


Thanks


RE: Medical Dictation Services
I would say it depends on the account. The problems the above poster has, I have not experienced at all, though I am only part-time. My platform is totally internet based- BayScribe which handles the voice and the transcription platform. So therefore, I never experience requested dictation completed.

Work for them currently in Radiology...been with them for 4 years.  A good company.

At least you stand up for yourself!

I am the HR person, QA, and trainer for a small company.  We've had the same employees for more than 5 years, some as long as 10.  Recently we had to hire a few new people because of growth. 


People talk about wanting to be respected and wanting to keep the work here.  I agree this needs to be done but in order to do that we have to have qualified people.  IF somebody passes our simple test, which is transcribing real files, and we hire them, we tell them their line requirement.  We don't even require set hours.  We get people who won't do 200 lines per day, much less what is required.  We get people who say they have 10 years of experience, yet require total read throughs, which cost us money.  The incredibly bad ones we have to let go, which is incredibly hard for me to do, then come here and post how horrible the employer is.  They don't mention the fact that 1) they still have our equipment even though they have their last check, 2) they failed to do their required lines per hour, 3) half the time they just didn't work at all PERIOD.  Or I invest a great deal of time in training them and they quit with reasons like I didn't realize it would take four hours to work part time and get my lines, I didn't know working at home was like having a REAL job.


I don't know anything about your company at all, but I do know the frustration at being hammered on these forums without the real stories being told, so I think it's great that somebody actually takes up for their company.  We do not outsource, but I have edited for companies who do, and the work is there ON TIME, even if it has to have minimal editing.  If someone is sick, there's somebody to back them up.  No whining, no emails from people who say that for the 10th time this month there was a wreck and their power is off, the dog is sick, I fell and hurt my back again, my dad is going to be ill in December so I'll need time off, my car broke down and I had to walk 5 miles home so that's why I am 8 hours late getting on, I was out all night partying and I have too much of a headache now to work.  It's a real shame for the people who actually do work their tails off.


 


What does TTS stand for? nm

Take a stand.

Lest we get redirected to the politics board, let me make a few general observations.  I would not look to the companies for resolution.  They are only one player among many whose greed holds our country in their clutch...a tight, squeezing grip that impoverishes the poor, enriches the wealthy and make economic refugees of the ever-shrinking middle class.  Look beyond the corruption of the politicians and whatever despair, frustration and hopeless you may feel.  For a long and single moment, stare far back into the eyes or our history and ask these questions over and over and over again:


Why are we paid wages like we're a third world country. It'd be nice just to meet the bills, but between low wages and high costs of having insurance, which we have to have because our antidepressant medications are so flipping high, who can survive doing this anymore? 


They are your questions.  They are mine too. Why, indeed.   Go and find your answers.  Seek educated and balanced debates pros and cons, right and left. Here's a hint on how to start.  You'll have to switch to something besides Fox and CNN to find this.   Listen to the candidates.  Follow the rhetoric and their platforms.  Watch closely and be a tough critic.  Put yourself around others who share these perspectives.  Listen and contribute, teach and learn from one and the other.  Identify your agenda and then go out and promote and support it. 


Do this between now and this time next year.  Then show up at the polls.  You will know what to do.  If you don't get what you want from the leadership and the legislators, do not disappear into the corner of the country.  Get out there and go for it, over and over.  This is not wasted effort.  If you were a child of the 60s or 70s, you would believe this.  In my life, sweeping, long-reaching and lasting reform has come and gone.  Minorities and women still reap the benefits of those efforts from so long ago.   The time is ripe for history to repeat itself.


PS:  If this were 1970, you and I would be organizing (watch out, here comes that dirty word) LABOR UNIONS. 


Could not stand it ..
First post I read was how nobody needs the BOS. Then I read this .. some days you just have to wonder how in the world people make a living if they really feel there need be no rules or standards. Forget India or Manila or Pakistan and for God sake, remember patient safety. There is a reason for standards and every time I come here I see someone shooting themselves in the foot with their incredibly illogical logic. Our jobs are about patient safety .. first, foremost and always.

Who is going to stand up for us?

We are all spread out, and the company I just came from kept everyone's name a secret, including how many working on the account, changes in schedules - everything.


And this is exactly why, so we CAN'T do anything about anything.

I would never work for her again.  Very moody, extremely picky.  She double checks to make sure there are 2 spaces after every period, not 1 and not 3.

Too many accounting problems - slow pay, bounced checks, short checks.
MT Group
I have worked for them, and regardless of Melanie's posting, I did have bounced checks, late checks, short checks.
You have that right. Where this group of SM
princes and princesses came from, who knows.  All these demands for certain hours, certain accounts---when you do give it to them the work is ATROCIOUS and they don't finish what they just demanded to have due to family, medical, pet emergency.
seems like one group is

describing their experience at a company and the defenders are attacking the individuals posting with characteric assassination.  Let's be adults here.


 


ABJ Group? Does anyone
know if they went out of business? Cannot find them anywhere, and their website is not there either.  I also have an email address, but it came back as undeliverable.  Anyone have any current information about them? Thanks.
