We use DocQscribe.  I use ShortHand with it, but there is a built-in Expander you could use if you don't have ShortHand.

Management and QA are very nice, pay is fair, work is good.  Some ESL, but not many.

Employee position.  Only bummer is that there are very limited benefits.  I've worked for MQ, Spheris, and TransHealth.  I prefer Echo hands down over any of the above companies.  I don't know if they're hiring or not, but I'll link their website below.

Good luck!

I'm not sure how many different accounts they have, but I have never been switched around.  I've learned new work types since working there (like OPs), but it is all part of the same account.

I've been very happy there.  I have experience with MedQuist, Spheris, and TransHealth.  I thought MQ was okay...I hated the other two.  Everyone's experiences are different (some love the last two companies I mentioned), but I have been an Echo employee for almost 1 year, and I have to say that I really, really love it here. 

If benefits are your top priority, you might not be too happy here.  They do offer benefits, but they are pretty expensive.  But they offer PTO (given at 1-year anniversary), sick time, and have a very generous incentive program.  They also have much less ESL doctors than I had with those other 3 companies.

I hope you find what you're looking for.  If you want to know more about Echo, you can e-mail me at any time.

Take care,

Good pay, really nice incentive plan, PTO, sick pay, great management, great QA feedback, small percentage of ESL docs, employee status.  Only bad thing, though, is that health and dental insurance are expensive.

Good luck in your search!

Are they hiring?  Do they use DQS? Wondering if you can tell me if they have any clinic work or will hire someone with hospital but no OPs experience?  Cost  and type of med. ins. for individual coverage? Thanks for any info!

Care to share your opinion and experience with them?  I tested with them today.  They seemed nice and friendly.  The platform was pretty user friendly. 

Is there plenty of work?  Is the pay fair?  Do they have benefits?  Thanks...if I'm offered a position, I'll find out all these answers, but I'm just really curious.

I really like it there a lot.  We have tons of work, excellent feedback from QA, great boss to work for, good pay.  I spot check their counts against my count on MSWord (characters with spaces divided by 25) from time to time, and it is always exactly the same or 1 line more on DocQScribe.

Their website is http://www.echoti.com.

Good luck!

(In Georgia)  How did you like it?  I'd love to hear both good and bad. 

Thanks in advance.

I work for Sten-Tel, and they are THE nicest people.  This is the second time I have worked for them, so I am on a different account than the last time, but I really like working there.

Hi.  Has anyone worked for sten-tel?  if so, what platform do they use?  How are they to work for?  Are you able to have flexibility with your schedule?  is the pay decent?

Any help would be very much appreciated

this doesn't sound good.  I finally got a hold of other posts on them.  Do you think you have to be careful when working as a IC as far as getting paid on time?  Do you mind me asking who you work for?  I get many hopeful prospects in then in the end it does not look good.  I hate to jump from the fire to the frying pan.

Thank you for your help. 

anyone have anything good to say about sten-tel.  I saw some postings on here not too good but just wondering if anyone has had a good experience with them. 

I have worked for them for about a year also.  Checks always on time, pleasant people and no one bugs me.  You would have to see what they offer you and that would depend on your experience and how you test.  They will hire MTs with less than a year and they also offer you work in other specialties if you need more work.  I work when I feel like it:)

There are other companies with better benefits and platforms but this is a decent company that pays on time, and if you need flexibility you will certainly find that with them.
