thoughts on $40/dictation hour?
Using the one hour dictation = 3 hours transcribing/typing, that works out to $13.33 an hour ... although I would love the work I'm thinking that is on the low side. Anyone else think so too? Kind of leery since the instructions were full of typos to boot (yet they want someone outstanding in MW Word (but give no version) as poor typists are not time efficient. Oh well, I'll keep looking.
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.

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?

Medical Dictation Services
Work for them currently in Radiology...been with them for 4 years. A good company.
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.
Medical Dictation Services
Just wondering if anyone has heard of this company and can provide any feedback and/or any info good or bad on the Bayscribe transcription platform.
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
MDI Medical Dictation Services
Can anyone tell me if this is a good company to work for? I appreciate any insight you could lend. Thanks!
TRS (Transcription Relief Services..any thoughts, opinions???? nm

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
Are you sure you don't mean MDI (Medical Dictation Services, Inc.? MRC hasn't been around

Do you mean Dictation Services Group out of Atlanta?

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.
DSG stand for Dictation Services Group
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!
Try searching Dictation Services Group
in addition to DSG.

Shapin.
They don't know the answers to their own test. No telling what goes on there.
Shapin
I've definitely given up on them. I sent them two emails telling them I couldn't find their test on their site and both times I got an automated message back that said please go to the web site and take our test.
Shapin
This is a very laid back company. You can work FT/PT your choice. No min on line counts. There is only one ESL doc and he is a temporary. TAT is 24 hours, up to 48 on back log. If you need more info email me at MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin..
Hi there,
I do lead QA for Shapin. Feel free to email me with any questions. MaryC_RI285@msn.com
Shapin?

Must have been Shapin, right?
Shapin
I am also a new Editor with Shapin. It seems as though the editors that are no longer here had the company pretty messed up. I am thankful for Laurie giving me the opportunity and mentoring to become a good editor. If there any more good editors out there that are looking for an awesome company to work for, extremely freindly and helpful, apply. We need good editors not crybaby wanna be's.
another ex-Shapin IC
Again, another ex-Shapin employee without a name. If you feel that you were a good employee why are you afraid to post your name? Not surprising I guess. I also am curious as to what you mean by They feed their lies to J, the owner, who believes everything they say. I can tell everyone the facts. Fact number one: People who do their jobs and don't steal from companies KEEP THEIR JOBS. Fact two: Disgruntled ex-employees always yell Foul the loudest because they do not learn from their mistakes, they just go onto the next company and mess that company up too.
I just wish for once, someone would give everyone specifics instead of just generalized comments like unprofessional and lies. And while you are at it, please answer this question....How can you live with yourself knowing that you were stealing from a company by not even doing the job you were paid to do?
Shapin
Hello,
Is there anyone who works for Shapin that could give me some insight as to good or bad? A got a response to a resum I sent and would like some information on how they are to work for before answering.
TIA
Shapin
I applied for the editing position so not sure on the amount for the transcription side.
Shapin
I worked for Shapin for about four months. Don't do it!!! The work load is really bad - hardly any work at all, very low line count, and the pay is miserable. Check into Professional Transcriptions, Inc out of Pensacola, Florida. That's who I work for now and the work load is consistent and the pay is great!
Shapin
Does anyone know if Shapin Medical Transcription still exists?
Stay away from Shapin....
extremely low pay, very disorganized, offshores to India.
re stay away from shapin
low, low pay, poor management.
Please clarify-Shapin (or someone associated with them) said
My goodness, and you jumped at it or away from it? Plenty of companies without outsourced dictation out there with benefits where an experienced, good MT can make that in half that amount of time. With a company representative admitting they offer low pay, why would I elect to work for Shapin. I'm smart enough to know how things work and can multitask more than one company to optimize my income and benefit potential.
Tisk, tisk.
