Execuscribe..any current info?
Anyone have any current experience or feedback with regard to this New York Company---? thanks
Execuscribe...any current info about them? Anyone work as an IC for them?
I hear pay is low...?
ExecuScribe wants employees to take a psychiatric test. How creepy. I refused! sm
These companies want to know your psych.  I think that is privacy invasion, and I don't need a job that bad!  That was the last test they had me take.  I would have never bothered with them if I knew that in the beginning.  What a waste of time!
Why not ask current employees if they
can type on ALL the platforms, or if they would be willing to train on them before placing an ad? Very typical for MDI. I'm sure a lot of MTs ask for more work, given account information only to find there is no work on there as well! This company just never ceases to amaze me!
Current MDI-MD employees - sm

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am curious as to what type of LD service everyone is using (and have been using long enough to know that they aren't going to get shut down!)  Mine (Verizon Freedom) is not going to work for me anymore.  Other than this, I love MDI, but I may need to look for employment elsewhere because of this problem. 


 


 


This is for current SPI employees
We have to fill out all new paperwork, job application, withholding forms, an employment agreement, and a binding arbitration agreement and waiver of jury trial (scary-basically stating we won't sue them). I think this was for all the Cymeders that SPI took in.
Current employees please
I would appreciate just posts from people who are currently working for this company.  How is your work load?  Do they overhire?  Are you getting enough work to make the incentives on the incentive tier?  Pay on time and biweekly?  Are you spending a lot of time in demographics before transcribing reports with the platform?  Thank you!!
Current OSI employees

Hi.  I was wondering if you could please tell me a little bit about OSI.  I couldn't find any posts from this year, just from years past.


What is the current pay?  How are the accounts?  What platform do you use?  Overall negative or positive?


Thanks for any information that you can provide.


Current Transcend Employees
Would you refer a friend to Transcend at this point in time as one of the best to work for as far as nationals go?  Why or why not?
Current employees of Diskriter

 


Can people who currently work for Diskriter email me?  I was offered a position there yesterday and want to talk to someone who is there now and can offer some insight on this.  Thanks in advance.


Current Diskriter employees

 


I am looking to chat with people who currently work at Diskriter.  I have seen a lot about this company good and bad and want to talk with someone who works there at the present time. 


For current Medware employees...sm
I am thinking about going back to MW, just because their benefits are so hard to beat, but how has work flow been on the Dictaphone side?  Are there still a lot of changes as far as leads and such?  When I left things were rather up in the air with several people leaving as fast as they could.  Thanks.
any previous or current MRC-MD employees here? sm

Can you give my any pros or cons? Is platform productive? Plenty of work? Alot of ESLs? Are they nice people to work for? thanks


Any current MedWare employees?
I have seen some bad press but am curious about how the cmopany REALLY is.  Thanks.
Are there any current ATSI employees out there?..
If so, please give me the scoop. How are the benefits? Is the pay on time? How about supers? Particularly radiology. Thanks a bunch.
IntelliType...current employees
Would any current employees please tell me how they like working for IntelliType.  I did talk to the recruiter about a job but it seems to me as though their pay rate for IC status is a bit low.  What do you think about this?  Do you feel you are able to earn a good living with them.  This is for their ad regarding hematology/oncology.  Do they have enough work?  Platform good/bad, etc.  Please let me know if you make a decent living.  This is very important to me.  Thanks so much for your help.
Are there any current Diskriter Employees here?
I would like to hear from anyone currently working for Diskriter. I am not interested in hearing from former employees at this time as I have read the archives, which is why I would like to hear opinions from current employees or recent new hires only. Thanks!
What - no current employees at Zylomed??? (sm)
If you're currently working for Zylomed please take a few minutes to update all of us on what it's like now. I would hate to have to rely on two to three year old archived messages when making a decision about working for them. Certainly I and other MT's would prefer to make an informed and well researched decision. Please help us do so!
Any current or former USA Medical employees out there? sm

I saw their post on the Job Seekers board. Can anyone tell me about them, good or bad? What platform do they use? Are they decent people to work for? Please feel free to privately email me if you wish.


Thanks!


Current Transcend employees - how about (sm)

their platform?  Is it anything like DocQScribe or is it like Dictaphone ExText? 


Also, I understand there are schedules but is there any flexibility? Do they work with you if you need to change times for unexpected events, etc.? 


Is the work pretty constant?  I know it fluctuates greatly this time of year, but am speaking generally. 


Any other info appreciated.  E-mail if you wish. 



TIA


Any current Spheris employees here?

1.  Does Spheris have speech-recognition or editing work? 


2.  Can you do just SR or is it a mix of MT and SR? 


3.  Do they pay flat rates for SR (what range, please) or a percentage of your MT?


Thanks


Any Current MedScribe employees?

Positives on Medscribe?


Current MDI employees see message

Hi, anyone working MDI only full time and feel they get good income and not work a second job?  Are you able to get the lines you commit without feeling the need for a second job?  Just curious as I want to be able to work full time for one company and not two.


Any current ASCEND employees?
I would like to hear from any current Ascend employee.  How is the work and are they truly paying on time?  Do they have direct deposit?  Thanks!
Question for current TT employees....sm
Just wondering how many of you did NOT respond to the email telling us we need to do VR?  Or did respond stating you did not want to do VR?  I said I was not interested in it and now am worried about losing my job, not to mention the weeks of no work.
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about
their proprietary software and how it is to work with?
Any current Spheris employees that can tell me about...
In response to Dana, my supervisor doesn't answer ANY e-mail I send her so not sure how flexibility would work in that regard. My accounts with SR are absolutely awful; make changes pretty much throughout the entire report. It is nice to hear, though, that someone actually does well with this company. I have tried to find positives and I have yet to find one thing I can say I like about this company. It is a job, though, until I can find better....
Current Zylomed employees

Looking at applying with this company.  Not too much recent in the archives.  Can anyone tell me what they're like to work for? 


Offshore?  True IC (set your line amount in 24 hours)?  Flexible employee schedule?


Pay on time?  Good pay rate?


Comments on the platform?  Work available?


Thanks for any input!


Current employees can you give me info? sm
Considering sending WebMedX my resume.  How are they?  Pros, cons, no bashers please.
they could care less about the current employees they are running out of a job. n/m
n/m
Thanks, but I was wanting feedback from current employees/ICs.

eMTS - Question for current employees

I'm being tested for a position with eMTS and would like to know how you do on the platform.  I read in a previous post there were several, so please let me know how you like the one you're on.  Also, how many lines do you average each hour/day/pay period?  If you could share what your hourly equivalent is, too, that would be helpful.


Have you had any problems with not being paid on your paydates ever?  Hoping it's a stable, responsible, professional company.


Thank you for responding!


Have read archives, but can any current TRS employees ... SM
share how it is there now, specifically whether the required line counts are doable and if they generally have good accounts - also about the benefits.  Thanks!
Keystrokes.. any feedback from current employees?
xx
Current information.
I've been with OSi for a couple of years, and I have no complaints.

Currently, the insurance is Aetna, certainly middle of the road in coverage and price, and they switched to them from United Health last August because UH was going drastically increase the premiums due to the high volume of use they had from the company. Current family plan on the managed PPO is around $250 per pay period (twice a month), and that is the most expensive plan. The others have much higher deductables, and they offer the medical savings account plan, but I prefer a traditional coverage plan. If you're looking for individual coverage it is much less than that. OSi pays about 50% of the cost, some other companies are contributing more like 80%, so the monthly bill is higher than some, less than others.

I have received all bonuses promised, all holiday pay, all celebratory pay, and my annual raises. All pay has been on time. I have found the pay scale to be very competetive with other nationals.

You are expected to have a schedule, but in my experience there is more than adequate flexibility for anything that comes up. If you are scheduled on the weekends and have made other arrangements for time off you may be called, but just if they haven't seen the change or if your manager forgets to change it on the schedule for the week. Like any real job working for other people, things happen, and you may just need to say that you made other arrangements with your manager. Not a big deal, frankly. You just need to let people know in advance, or if it is last minute call, so they aren't wondering what happened.

Vacation time accrues at a rate equal to 10 days a year in the first 3 years, then increases. Vacation pay rate is based on you average output prior to vacation (not sure how long they average). Not as high as you would get typing, but certainly very nice when you're on vacation.

If you work on a government account you do have a background check, but you provide the contacts for them, so think about who you list. This is done by an outside government source, not OSi, though they send the paperwork, then it's sent to the gov. agency.

If you do work on VA accounts, typically all national holiday weeks are pretty light, but they make up for it in volume by the end of the week. Other accounts vary as to flow of work, though most seem pretty steady in my experience.

I happen to really like my primary account. The lines pile up fast, because the reports are long, and you don't spend a lot of time setting up the demographics. Not all accounts are equal, and with first-hand knowledge of several accounts at OSi and at a few other nationals, the specific account is the luck of the draw.

This is a real job, and I've found that if I approach it like one it is appreciated. If you are a full-time employee it is reasonable for a company to expect you to work your hours as planned unless you notify them otherwise. I know many companies give a time window of 12 hours to get your lines and hours in, so you may be more comfortable with a place like that than with a job that asks you to base your week on a regular schedule. There are many people who are better suited to freelance gigs, because the reason they work at home is to have total freedom to work when and how often they want. If that is what you're looking for, you should consider working as an independant contractor (IC). There are some working at OSi, and most other companies also have both employee and IC positions. You just have to ask the recruiter or personnel officer if it's available, and get the rates.

Please keep in mind that message boards are most often used by people who have something they want to complain about. It's an easy place to vent frustration and anger, and sometimes not so easy to get the opinions of people who are busy at work. As a very long-time internet user, I've found that to be true of all types of message boards, and you have to learn to balance the information you get from here accordingly.
Any current information on OSi?
 
Thanks, but I'm looking for current information. Anyone else?

It is better to get the current information sm
directly from the employer as we may not have the most correct information ourselves or may even misinterpret what we do have. That is why we say ask the employer. It's not fair to you to give you incorrect or misleading information.
Any current information

Is there anyone with current information on Lartech?  Pay?  Pay on time? Any info is appreciated


UST--current information

Considering applying.  Any information as far as how they are to work for, benefits, etc?


Looking for current information regarding

Archivus.  I have seen some discussions about them on this site, where it was stated that they were changing their platform from Vienetta to Transcribe+, but I cannot find out any information about this platform and was hoping some of you who are working for Archivus, or those who use the same platform, could provide some information here about the platform. 


Also, I am wondering about the flexibility in scheduling.  They say they do offer flexible schedules, and the employment type is IC.  Do you know what timeframe there is for getting in the 1200 lines per day? 


I guess the other thing I would like to know about is, does anyone know about how long it takes to get up and running once an offer of employment has been made?  There was some discussion here about that being the one bad thing about this company, so I was just looking for an idea of how long it actually takes. 


I appreciate any insight offered here.  Thanks, and have a great day!


Question for any current or recent employees of amphion

I am looking for a place to work that I can have full-time without working weekends.  Is this a good company to work for?  Do they have plenty of acute care/hospital work?  How is there platform/type of program?  Is it true you don't have to work weekends or nights? 


 


Why are the offering "newbies" more money than current employees?

That's odd.


Shorthand-Current Fast Chart Employees

Thanks for the info.  I just really love ShortHand and was wanting it to work.


Thanks.......


 


Shorthand - Current Employees of Fast Chart

Anyone have a clue as to why ShortHand will not work their program?  Thanks.....


Current Transcend employees...what type of lines...sm
What type of line counts are you getting as far as VR on the Beyond Text platform?  I am rather new and not getting a very good line count and was wondering if there is light at the end of the tunnel.  I have gone through all the resources on the main website to help enhance line count, but not seeing much of a difference.  Thanks. 
Zylomed - Info from current employees appreciated

Is their platform  Inscribe by Emdat?   Autopopulated demographics?   What is average pay?  Can you make a good line count?  Good dictators?

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.
Any of the former or current employees, can you make decent money there?
Thanks
copied from email sent to current Transcend employees.
It does, however, provide additional opportunities as
we become a larger and more meaningful company. MDI was attracted to Transcend
because Transcend is widely recognized as the best company in the industry. MDI
is also very excited about Transcend’s technology, speech recognition successes,
and broad capacity to deliver services on a large scale.

This is a company big on VR. Hope you like it.
