Dear All!  I'm writing a business plan and conducting some initial market surveys, and since all of you have always been a wealth of information, I figured this was a good place to start.  I need to know what dictation/transcription platform any company you can think of is on.  Please respond, just a quick post with the company name, platform, and if it is a web based platform (if you know).  Thank you all in advance!!!

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.

 Is there lots of work?  How is QA?  Are you on a "time clock", where they monitor your computer?  How are benefits?   Thanks    

Diskriter does pay for down-time, just got an email today that confirmed it on our account because we got caught up for the first time in months and had about an hour with low work load - supervisor said document the time, if your schedule doesn't allow you to make it up, then put down-time on timesheet and it will be paid.  They pay down-time for meetings too.  Whoever posted that, obviously has never had down-time or they would know it is paid, why else would there be a slot on the timesheet to document it? DUH!

I have looked elsewhere and never gotten any better offers with other companies.  There is always work (except for 1 hour this morning on the account I'm, which was just weird).  As far as their offshoring, it is minimal, they don't deny it and it is at clients request who don't want to pay for our work, but it is all QAd by Diskriter's U.S. MTs.

They are hiring PT because we need people nights and weekends and most people don't want those hours and that's all they can find is PT help for those hours.  If they could have staffed it with full-time, we wouldn't need more people now would we. 

Some of you people just don't know what your talking about that post here.  If you think they sound good, go for it, we would love to have you.

I am trying to decide whether to take a job with this Diskriter.  They have great benefits that I am looking for.  I have read both bad and good about them, but was looking for recent info on them.  If you could email me personally if you do not want to reply here I would greatly appreciate it.  I just want to know what I am getting into.  I know all companies have good and bad, but it is nice to know what to look out for and what questions to ask up front.  Thanks and hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

I'm considering a position with Diskriter, have to test tomorrow.  Recruiter mentioned it is a 2 hour test, any give any info on how the test is structured, that seems to be a long time to test for something I may or may not accept.  Also, anyone working with Diskriter have any pro or cons to share.  Thanks

Any Diskriter transcriptionists out there who work on the hem/onc account they are advertising on the job board?  Please e-mail with the following information:  How difficult is the account in regard to ESL dictators?  What is their starting rate for a very experienced hem/onc person?  What platform do they use?  Is it a good one or bad one?

I would appreciate any info you may have regarding these questions.  Thanks.

Anyone know what platform they use?  Easy or difficult to learn?  Do they pay on time, etc?  Any info much appreciated.

I realize someone just asked yesterday about current info on Diskriter, but responses only addressed pay from August 2007.  Anyone care to share about current pay, ease of platform, amount of ESLs, etc.??  Thank you very much.

Does anyone have any info on this acct with Diskriter where you are an actual hospital employee with hospital benefits??

I feel better today.  I just cannot re-take that test though.  After that experience, I refuse to test on any tests which have the entire test on one web page, including the download and transcribing of files onto the same page.  It is too risky that the page could disappear.  Live and learn I guess. 

This MT testing is so grueling I will be glad when it is over!  Thanks for letting me vent! 

to get my photo license, so this worked out fine. Ran and did that plus stopped for bread and cheese for ham sandwiches. Took no time at all as the center was empty, as was the grocery store. Guess everyone is at the mall exchanging their gifts.

We were warned the other day that it may be VERY slow after Christmas and I looked forward to it. How I wish I could go to the mall and get new outdoor lights. Ours were blown out, so it was a dark and dreary Christmas Eve night. It's the only time we turn our lights on.

Could anyone give me info on Meridian Healthcare Group, LLC out of Indiana or Transcription-Express (don't know where they are from)

Any info would be appreciated!
