Any info on Probity?
What type of platform, pay issues, etc. Thanks in advance.

any info on Probity?
Got asked to take test but really need some info

any info re Probity ?

Couldn't find much on a search on this board. I'm wondering whether they are IC/employees, set schedule/line count, internet work/phone line, etc. Thanks.

How about any info on Probity? nm
a

Probity info
Worked there for quite some time...Platform for most accounts is okay to work with on most of their accounts...but the platform converts all 2 spaces (after periods) to one space, so be aware of that. some accounts have pt information autopopulate, which was nice...They do have another platform they work with that is not so nice to work on though...Pay depends on account. As with any company, be aware of any account that pays per report instead of per line Pay was ALWAYS on time, but I did have to keep a close eye on my paycheck to make sure it was accurate...they were good about fixing it, but i had to request a fix way too many times for my liking!!
hope that helps

any updated info on Probity? nm

Any info on Probity and Diskriter
would be appreciated.

Probity? Anyone work for them? Any info appreciated nm
nm

Probity, QED or MTS of Texas...any current info??..sm
I am trying to decide between these three. They all have good and bad, but just wanting to not get burned again. Any current info on any of these? Thanks.

Any updated info on Probity from current employees?
I'm considering them. I've looked here on the archives and see good and bad, but I'd like some current and updated opinions - good or bad - from people who do or have worked with them recently. Thanks.

If one is making 7 cpl in 2007, and they were (sm)
also making 7 cpl in 1977, how does that add up to more money? Only if one works oneself into an early grave.

Here it is 2007, and I WISH I could make $35,000! (sm)
This year I'm gonna be lucky to hit $18,000. :(

Have 2007 BMW, before that 2002 BMW, now
that is is almost 2008, well will just have to see what my better half wants to do. He buys me these, surprises me. I do not know what it cost, what he pays each month, don�t care- He says he wants me to have really good drive and he sees that I do.

Yep, I worked for them in 2007
I used to live in VA Beach and they were the only at-home company that would give me a chance since I had only worked in house and only had 1 year's experience. I did QA of transcription from Indian MTs and the pay was low for quite a bit of editing, but at least I got my foot in the door. As soon as I had enough experience, I went elsewhere for more pay. The owner is a really great guy that is very understanding if any personal things come up and he always paid on time. Their IT people were really great too.

Word 2007 help

Can someone out there with more knowledge please help?

I have Word 2007 and my doucments changed from doc.file to docx.files and I have no idea why. I have had word since 2007 so this is not new to me.

I am also unable to email a document from the Word 2007 home page. I have run a Word diagnostic and cannot seem to find any problems.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

Word 2007 help
I had the same problem when I switched from Word 2003 to 2007 and had problems with my invoicing due to the docx files. I contacted the person who created MP Count what I use for my invoices, and he said to to open up word and click on the icon in the top left hand corner and scroll down to save as, that will open up other options one being save as Word 97-2003 and from then on everything you save a document it will be saved under doc.file and not docx.file. Hope this helps. FYI I still do not like 2007!!!

I worked there from 2007-08 sm
They people were great. The platform really just utilizes word and copy and pasting demographics (which you get paid for) and then you upload back to the company. The pay is on the low side, but my accounts were pretty easy clinic work, so it evened out.

Has Spheris improved any since 2007? I saw an add SM

and was thinking about applying. I worked for them before all the changes happened.

Thanks.

You should take the post of 3/7/2007 off about similar posting
just a suggestion. Again, nothing bad was said by poster, but it does have the phrase over and over again.

I apologize for not knowing that you are not interested in what happens on other boards.

Line count in MS Word 2007
Does anybody know how to get their line count when typing a regular office note in Microsoft Word 2007? This software is so new to me. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Applied at Transcend but they do not allow Word 2007

and Microsoft quit selling Word 2003 in June of this year, which means they will quit supporting it soon, too. I hate to pay $187.00 for an outdated piece of software for working. I have a new computer and specifically requested Windows XP but did not think about Office 2007 not being usable.

Been there since 10/2007. There are still slow issues. I do not think they are that flexible..sm
I've been MT for > 10 years. They are better than the evil Q, for whom I worked for 8 years, but I am sure there are better companies out there. The acct specs are no problem, but the platform definitely still is. I have cable Comcast, so slowness issues are not on my end. IT works with it, but not well; there are issues. They will not give me time off--less than a week--to accompany my sister when she picks up the baby she is adopting because I have been there less than a year...Email me if you have specific questions. I would say think carefully before accepting their offer. Make sure you tell the recruiter if you think you will need ANY time off in the next year or you may not get it. I did not think to mention last October that I would need time off this May. Mistake.

I did. On page 3 post from 2007 says no current
x

They were bought by Nuance in the spring of 2007.
And apparently they feel that stating that fact makes them sound more respectable, I guess. Nuance also owns Dictaphone and Escription.

Post here in Jan. 2007 said they have mandatory overtime. Is this true?
s

Medware..There hasn't been anything on this board since August 2007...(sm)

Does anyone who works for Medware care to share their opinion about the company in regards to steady work, flexible schedules, platform, benefits, etc.? You can e-mail me if you wish. TIA.

I just filed 2007 taxes for gross income of $52,341.
NM

They offered me 9.5 cents a line in August of 2007
I don't think that is very low.

Is Dictaphone EXText compatible with Word 2007?

LOL, they still aren't compatible with Vista or Word 2007...
x

Use the Google box search for MTStars at page top. A few posts from 4/2007 come up.
.

They started looking in 2007. No promises. Now it is a reality and yes, they are paying half. sm
They always come through. Why do you tell lies on here? They are the best out there and those of us that are there and have been a while know that.

Cbay systems layed off 32 employees via conference call on 12/21/2007
Anyone here affected by this? I am so sick over this.

Terry..check the archives..you posted this back in 8-23-2007. See inside.

Probity

These people are unprofessional. Don't waste your time there either.

Probity
Don't waste your time. They are so unprofessional, it's not even funny.

Probity
They're very unprofessional people, don't bother with them. They have terrible communication within the company.

Any Probity MTs here
I would greatly appreciate any info on this company.

Thanks.

Probity
The problem with being careful what you say is true, but if you have to be SO careful, pretty soon there will be no one posting as everyone will be SO PARANOID ABOUT POSTING. Sounds like a little common sense and moderation is in dire need here. All she did is ask about a company, and yes, I agree, to say they suck is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. If you are going to post, at least be professional, courteous, and use common sense. What's so hard about that.

RE: Probity
Sounds like you will get your fair share of ESLs, as with any company, I can't say from experience yet. They do not supply equipment, they will provide the software that they use to do dictation. Health insurance is BC/BS, good if you only have to cover yourself, can get pricey to cover family, dental is a good plan, $15 per pay. I would definitely check them out. I believe editors are paid hourly, not sure how much though because this is not my field.

Any Probity MTs out there? sm
Do you have steady work? Easy/difficult to make lines? Thanks much

Probity
Thanks, I needed that!

Probity

99% ESLs, forget them!

Probity
I work for Probity and have been there almost a year. I have absolutely no complaints. They are very honest and there is always plenty of work. No problems with pay checks or getting answers to questions......I give them an A++ and trust me I have been with a few companies in the past 18 years that I would not give an F to.....

Probity
I dont know anything about Medquest, but I would not recommend Probity. Lots of promises, but do not come through.

Probity
Heavy ESLs at Probity and messed up software. I cannot recommend Probity.

Probity

I am happy employee at Probity...have never ever had any problems!

Probity
I have been with them for over a year and I have nothing but good things to say about them. The owner is a very fair employer. SHow me a company that does not have it's fair share of ESL.....I give Probity a AAA+++

Probity
Can anyone tell me if Probity is a good company to work for. This will be the first company that I will work for, since being an IC with my own accounts for 20 years. Otherwise, any suggestions?

Probity?
Any info on this company?

Probity
Did you have to buy an Infinity foot pedal for Probity? I understood from talking to somebody there that they use this kind of foot pedal. I have a wav pedal and would hate to buy another one if it's as bad as the posts I just read.
