soft script
i just started with them three weeks ago as an MI. i work fulltime somewhere else with almost four years experience. just by the emails, you can tell that both QA and MT areas need to do a little bit more standarizing.
soft script
i work for them too part time. so far, the only problem i have is standardization of QA because it gets confusing when one corrects one way and the other corrects another way.
soft script
lol see what you did, you got everyone fighting lol
Soft Script

           


Can ya tell they are bad news? 


Soft Script and OSI

SS tells you that you have to purchase Start/Stop software and pedal also though.  If you have a universal pedal, you only need the software, but it is $75.  I now find out that other companies using the same platform say it is not mandatory, so why are they saying it is?  If they are making a kickback off the software, that makes them no better than TRANSCAM IMO.  I'm not an easy one to sucker, but hats off to them!  If you cannot tell someone WHY something is necessary, then it's not necessary.  Start/Stop is a universal player.  I own a universal player, so what's up? 


OSI uses it too, and they don't demand unnecessary software purchases. 


Soft Script
Don't go to work for Soft Script. I tried it, and it was a horrible experience. The dictators were awful, ESLs mainly. I'm an MT, and they wanted me for editing.

They make Medquist seem like a great place to work.

Nooooo,,, not Soft Script.
Soft Script
A friend of mine used to be the operations manager. Maybe the MT side of it is okay but the QA side is a different story. She told me that they took in a lot of new graduates. There was an incredible incredible amount of editing to be done on these reports and they were struggling with this task. Im not sure if they were sending out to India or not, but that may have also been some of the editing issue. Anyway, sounded like a real mess to me and I didn't care to jump into it. Like I say, the MT end of it may be perfectly fine. Any other experiences out there?
Soft Script
I hope so I don't work for them anymore.  Does anyone have an info on Sten-Tel?
Soft Script
Can anyone tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about Soft Script?
Soft Script
Info regarding SoftScript?  Good or bad ?  Stable or ?  
Soft Script?
Does anyone have any info about this company? Thinking of applying with them PT while still working for MQ PT. Any info about them, how easy their platform is, etc. would be greatly appreciated! :) Have a nice Sunday! :)
Soft Script

Can anyone give me information on Soft Script.  Do they have flex schedules, is their platform easy to learn?  Is there an abundancy of work like the advertise?  I was considering sending them a resume.  Any info you can offer would be great!


Thanks!


Has Soft Script improved at all lately. nm
:
Chronicle and Soft Script
I had problems with the platform at Chronicle and SoftScript had poor training when cross training on a secondary account. The recruiter at Softscript wasn't always nice either. That was a couple of years ago. The Chronicle experience is very recent.
Soft Script info
I see Soft Script is hiring. Any current info on this company would be appreciated. Good, bad, or otherwise. Work flow, pay, benefits, etc. Thanks.
Soft Script Line Count
I have been with SS for a few years now and pay is dependable except for a couple times. But, don't you worry about the accuracy of your line count? Is there anyplace else you can work and have no idea how many lines you typed per report? Wonder Why??? No one will give you a straight answer, or for that matter any answer at all. Any management from SoftScript want to answer this Honestly?
Is Soft Script a good company. nm

Soft Script Pros and Cons
Pros: Their pay is good; the software is pretty user friendly, rare glitches.

Cons: Heavy ESLs; lots of accounts with tons and tons and tons of account specifics and many, many other details to learn; holidays don't exist to management. The management's attitude is poor.

QA: They pay per line. If you have experience, you'll get put on heavy ESL accounts and make nada if you do your job right.

A pair of soft flex gloves
Looking forward to using them on days when there's OT.
Old posts say that many MTs fail their testing, and they have offered low pay before, too. Soft

Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft

The only company I have ever worked for is Soft Script so I have absolutely nothing to compare sm
it to. I had my own accounts, lost them and so went with the first company to high resistance me!  I've been with them a few years now and certainly have had issues but with absolutely nothing to compare it to, I have always assumed this was just par for the course....now after reading all these negative comments about the management and the platform, etc., I am wondering what I'm missing by staying with SS...how much worse is this company than most? Would it be prudent to start interviewing with other companies and if so, which ones are better than SS. I would so appreciate any input....I support myself and believe me if I can find a better company where I could make a bit more money...I would be there yesterday! 
I doubt she's having fitful sleep. Money makes a soft mattress.
She sold us out for the mighty dollar.

This did not happen in a day; I bet she knew for months, way before she wrote that email a few weeks ago.
Sorry for the typo there
I meant to say to you mean offshore.
typo
Mr. Ormond earned $17 million not $71 million

Yes, there is typo. Bad little

Sorry about that typo..I don't do that on the job!! lol

Sorry - big typo
It was 50 minutes -- I was thinking 50 min of dictation equals about 500 lines. 
that's bad, not bac. sorry for the typo
it is early here, need coffee.
Sorry typo
E-Transcription
Now that would be a typo, rather than what
she correctly pointed out as grammatical error :)
that would be instead... not the typo... see I
and can't even transcribe a post... uggg, I don't know why I even come here, I get so frazzled. Sorry for the instead typo.
I believe it's a typo
There is a transcription company in that area called SureScribe, and my assumption was that when it was entered on the other board, it just didn't get entered in correctly. As to the way the phone number is written, it looks like they're all kind of different ways on there, so I'm thinking it's more an issue of formatting...we kind of get spoiled and assume that the site will format things properly for us, but in this case it didn't happen.

I don't sense anything nefarious at play here. Just a smallish transcription company (as opposed to the multinational types), which means it is probably the kind of place where a good MT could go and be appreciated. If it weren't for that once a month pay thing, I'd be tossing my hat into the ring. I do much better as a big fish in a little pond than the other way around!
Sorry for the typo...
I really don't have my mind today!
oops - typo......should/ve said....sm
sorry, I made a typo - should've been can/could see many posters........
Please excuse the typo - buy for by! (duh on me)

typo in resume
Was it your job to weed out misspelling ;-) too funny!One would think that you would have PROOFED your own post!
Ok - so I had a typo. I am human ya know.

I am assuming the 0.075 is a typo?

Ooops TYPO

I better correct my statement before I raked over the coals for a typo by the grammar police.  The platform is great and exceed the line count every pay period. 


It should read The platform is great and I exceed the line count every pay period.


I guess I better get this first cup of coffee down quick!!!


typo---meant do, not so.
Thanks!
Check your ad for typo's
No spelling police normally on this board, but when you are offering your services, free or otherwise, you should proof your copy for spelling/punctuation errors.
