Nothing terribly bad to say, but -- sm

they have their problems and outpoints, just like every other company.
Despite the fact that a lot of MTs will divulge their pay rates, I won't, as [like most of us] I'm contractually obligated to NOT divulge such info (it's just that most people ignore that and post away anonymously anyway). Suffice it so say they're pretty average.
Nice people (in general), though a bit disorganized and not very good at communicating.
Their platform -- actually, they have two, both of which are proprietary.
The percentage of ESLs (and bad dictators, in general) will vary with the account. I have some horribly bad ones on my account, not so much due to accent but they're the whispering kind, which is even harder to do, IMO.
Be aware that they're prone to be low on work from time to time.

It really won't take too terribly long.
Work on your normals. If you haven't used Shorthand before, look for the tips on the message board. Utilize all the samples they provide from the community web page, and absolutely utilize the see last 50 reports by dictator feature. You'll be whizzing along in no time.
Then I must be doing something terribly wrong

They seem to be terribly disorganized, trying to
change procedures, added new staff, adding lots of new accounts and I guess they are just overloaded. I would definitely recommend a phone call. Usually after that things get rolling.
Terribly unorganized is just the beginning with them
They take your lines from, send rude e-mails daily, never answer your questions, and have about 90% ESL. Too bad you took the job as I would recommend you go elsewhere.
Scribe - terribly slow..they always sm
blame your ISP and don't seem to care. It takes over 30 sec to load a document - WAY too slow when you are typing 200 minutes a day! Bayscribe is by far one of the best I've ever worked on.
Mine slowed down terribly, too, only I couldn't uninstall it.
I finally did disk cleanup and put all my pix and what not on a jump drive and it's running at a tolerable speed but not like it was.
Has anyone ever noticed how DQS picks up noise terribly in the background. Doesnt make my life any
easier trying to hear the dictator.
