Newly hired by CardioScribes and eager to get started. Any current employees care to
post about your experience there? How long until you met production? Platform? Pay? Team spirit? Dictators? Just any info/opinion would be greatly appreciated. The software has been installed on my computer and I am really ready to get in there and get started. Just waiting for training.
Recently started too
Flexible schedule but you need to decide what your hours are and commit to them. Benefits granted at 32 hours. Plenty of work. Really good, patient and supportive people. Training with guaranteed pay. Smooth, easy and fast startup. Good, high-tech platform.
Well, I started recently
and I'm only getting 8.5 c. I'm FT, acute care and do the weekend. And I have 18 years experience with acute care. That totally sucks. I'm so depressed now. I wish I would have never read this whole thread. 
Started recently
Lots of work. Very nice people to work for! Platform is easy to work on.
Just started recently as an IC (sm)
I recently took an IC position and needless to say am very, very impressed with the way they operate. The training was excellent, communication with them has been excellent. If an IC, you send your availability and it can change from week to week. Pay is comparable to other companies out there. They seem to be a very straightforward and honest company.
I recently started a new job and was getting (sm)
almost exclusively consults. I do enjoy them, OPs are my first love though. I just asked them if OPs could be included in my pooling and they did. I also get other work types. Only fair that we all share. I wouldn't appreciate you walking into this company and taking all the OPs off the top.
I know there are some people who don't like OPs or have had so little experience they aren't very quick at them. If that is the case and they want to skip them (with the companies permission) GREAT. More for the rest of us.
Bottom line is, you type what they need and when they need it or they may not need you anymore. Unless you had an agreement before hiring, this is only fair.
I just started with them recently
and can say, this pay information is less than what I was offered.
So far, I've been extremely pleased with them. They've bent over backwards with compensation and encouragement. MUCH nicer than any other company I've worked with and after 20+ years, I think I have a good point of reference. Try them, you might just be pleasantly surprised.
I just recently started with DSG
I have quite a few ESL dictators but assumed this was the norm.
Just recently started. What was the pay plan before?
nm
I started with them recently, no complaints SM
other than the week of training was only on the computer. I started production IMMEDIATELLY. I would have liked at least 3 days of guaranteed pay. It may be different for you being new though. Go for it.
Anyone who recently started w/ Teletrak?
Wondering if that VNC program is still being installed. I read something about it that was kind of upsetting and I do not want to apply without knowing one way or the other. TIA
I started at Chronicle recently and
my experience so far has been very pleasant. There is an abundance of work and I have a QA person who has been so patient with me so far. This is also the person who trained me. I found the training to be very informative. About 2 hours into my first shift I was so confused and I IM'd QA. I was able to speak with her by telephone and she walked me through the problem I was having and she told me to contact her again if there was still a problem or any problem at all. I've never had this kind of QA availability in any other company I've worked for. I've receive feedback that was both informative and non-demeaning. From these posts there must be different accounts and different platforms. I guess I am lucky to be on the good account?
Anyone who recently started working for DSG that can say how they like
it there and how is the workload and accounts, sound, etc.
I recently started on VR with TransTech,
maybe 3 weeks ago. I feel like I am drowning. I have been an MT for over 20 years. I am pretty fast, and from what I have heard, it works out better for the slower typist. I would love to find another company, but I don't think it will make a difference. VR is here to stay, and being in my 50's, I figure I better adjust to it. That being said, does anybody here have any tips (seriously) to increase my speed. Arguing about VR isn't going to get any of us anywhere. I definitely do not agree with the 50% in pay for VR, that is ripping off MTs as far as I am concerned. Seriously though, does anybody have any tips that would help me increase my speed?
Has anyone started with Webmedx recently?
I interviewed and was told they wanted to hire me but there were no openings. Supposedly I will be called when one opens up. This was a few weeks ago. I am so frustrated with my current employer and desperately want out! So, has anyone recently interviewed and then started fairly quickly? Trying to decide whether there really is a waiting list and to be a bit more patient, or to start applying elsewhere. Thanks!
I just recently started a verbatim account...
and I have to stop myself from making corrections and have to really concentrate on typing exactly what they are saying. It's HARD! But hey, they are indirectly signing my paycheck, so I gotta do what they tell me to, ya know?
I think we all have had nightmare experiences. I recently started a job that was "starving" fo
more work than you can imagine and then 2 days into it, NOTHING.. plus the software was a pain in the beeeehind!!! This great opportunity turned out to be a waste of time. Hopefully things get better for you. I quit..making $4 an hour was not my idea of surviving.
A friend of mine very recently started working for them
I'll try to get ahold of her and see how it's going so far. She just started about a week or so ago.
If I hear anything, I'll let you know :-)
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

Cardioscribes
Anyone heard back from Cardioscribes, anyone start work with them, any infor at all. Thank you.
Cardioscribes
They are hiring a lot of people but seem to be handling it well and there seems to be enough work. Communication is good and nice people to work for! 
Cardioscribes
I started with Cardioscribes a few weeks ago and like it very much. There is plenty of work. The people are extremely nice and helpful and are always available to answer questions. Communication line is great.
cardioscribes pay
THIS COMPANY IS NOT GOOD ABOUT PAYING ON TIME. THEY EXPECT A TURNAROUND TIME FOR THEIR WORK, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR MONEY
Cardioscribes
Has anyone applied and heard back from them? Good, bad or indifferent?
cardioscribes
I have been with them for a month now and I LOVE THEM!!! They are awesome to work for with good accounts, plenty of work and pay on time. Good management support as well.
Cardioscribes pay
i cannot image such a thing happening with this company. if indeed it did happen that way, a simple phone call would clarify any issues. i have been with them for well over a year and have never had a paycheck late and in fact - have been paid promptly each and every time i submit a billing statement. i would like to have the details of your experience. something must have gone terribly wrong.
Cardioscribes
This is a great company to work for. The system is good, the communication is good, and your work schedule is flexible. I have never had a problem getting paid, which of course is the most important thing. If you like cardiology, this is the place to be!
Cardioscribes
I had heard that they did not have set pay days, that sometimes it would be a couple days after invoicing and other times a week. Is this true?
Cardioscribes
I can tell you the platform is a breeze. It will take about 15 minutes to train. Team spirit is wonderful. There is great communication especially when you are getting started. You are not just left hanging. If you know cardio you will not have a problem with any of these accounts. In my opinion, you will love it. Ton of work now and coming up.
Cardioscribes
Was anyone scheduled for training today?
cardioscribes
I have been trying to work with them, but, while I am quite self-sufficient and a self-starter, I do need a little bit of guidance and it doesn't seem to be coming with this company. The first couple of times there was no work, then I got a job, but no samples or idea of how to format. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Let me know how it goes with you.
Cardioscribes...sm please
Are there a lot of ESLs on the accounts? Seems like every place I have ever worked typing cardio....the ESLs far outnumbered the EFLs. Thanks.
Any Cardioscribes MTs know
I had sent all my paperwork to the recruiter and I've been trying to email her but am getting no replies. I started a little before the pay period ended and I'm trying to find out when pay day actually is. Is there a HR dept? I only have IM addresses of people I ask to send my MT jobs. Also, how do you contact QA people? Is there an acct list with contacts on it?
Cardioscribes - I see they are
current information on them? I applied the last time they were doing a big hiring but never heard back from them. Any current MTs working there that can share their experience? I see some posts regarding irregular pay dates - is this still going on or was it just a one time thing? How is the work load, do they have a lot of work? What kind of platform?
Cardioscribes
Guys I am so sad to see such negative posts on here. I have been with the company for a year now. I am the one who wrote the statement about the company thats posted on their site about how employees feel about the company. That is exactly how I felt about the company the day I wrote that and that is exactly how I feel about the company TODAY. I am not spokeperson for the company and I dont even play one on TV. I get paid just like everyone else, per line. I have never missed a check. If there was any kind of discrepancy, I have contacted the person who does our line counts and the issue has always been resolved. If , in fact, I was due more money, then they have wired the money to my account the following day. I have worked for several companies in the past and I was treated horribly. The QA was rude. They didnt even know who i was half of the time or even care. There was a certain amount (line count) I had to type or my employment was terminated, regardless of the fact that I have a family to feed. With Cardioscribes, its nothing like that. They call me by name, they are always helpful and pleasant and they understand that I have a life outside of work, so if things come up (doctor apts, etc), they completely understand. NEVER have I been treated rudely by any employee from either India or the US Cardioscribes family. In fact, I have never seen such friendliness and willingness to help. I am so sorry for those that have had a bad experience with Cardioscribes, but really its just a handful of people who choose to be vocal on a company board, but the majority of Transcriptionist in the cardioscribes family are happy with their jobs. I truly hope that if you are considerating a position with Cardioscribes that you will not be discouraged by a few negative posts. Good luck in all you do.
What's up with Cardioscribes?
Are they reorganizing or was there a massive walk-out? I heard mixed postings here about this company, but thought that for the most part people were happy there. Suddenly all of these top positons even the admin asst is posted. Too bad you can't do one of these jobs remotely, it would be great to get a position like one of those but they are all on site. Anybody heard what's going on over there? Just wondering. TIA.
Cardioscribes
For anyone looking for information on this company, I am more than happy to share my experience. You may e-mail me privately. What I will say here publicly is that this is one of the most dishonest organizations (and I use the word organization very loosely here) I have been involved with. They began with the lie of misleading me into thinking that I was hired by and American-owned company. Then, once I began work, I was told to contact the MediHelp team to ask for files. It became very clear that the file allocation team consisted of all Indian workers. The allocation team lied to me on a daily basis about files being unavailable, and no wonder. Their leader, Rahul, made practice of lying constantly as well. I was liked to about everything from file availability to payroll. I confronted them about it and was fired during the middle of my shift one day. Keep in mind that my supervisor had given me glowing reviews of my work and had asked Rahul to make sure I had enough work each day. Suddenly, during my shift one day, I received the e-mail that I was fired. No phone call, no reason, no anything. My supervisor became very evasive and would not respond to my questions of why. I know why, though. I confronted Rahul and the allocation team about their dishonesty, and suddenly I didn't have a job. But I know for sure that my supervisor and her supervisor sided with the dishonest people and did not stand up for me because they obviously are spineless and they want to protect their own jobs. I can just about guarantee, though, that the Indians will cut them loose in the same cruel way I was treated, and it probably won't be in the distant future. These Indian companies have absolutely no loyalties to anyone. And I should have quit right on the spot when I found out that I had been lied to about the company's ownership. As their recruiter and transcription supervisors are American, you don't know when being hired what the truth is, and they are NOT about to tell you before you're already on the payroll.

Just got offered a job. I know there are some on here who work for them. Please let me know what you think of them. Tx
Cardioscribes
I was offered a postion with this company over 6 months ago -- I normally will listen to a radio station or 2 via the internet with a local station in my home state or whatever -- I woke up one night to pings going on with my computer and LO and behold it was Cardioscribes tech support -- accessing my computer at 3-4 a.m. Their Indian tech suport when I called was extremely rude and said :they were trying to fix a problem on MY end -- I think not -- they were grabbing my computer -- I then went to Hiwired and paid $90 to have them get my system straight -- I NOW have AVG, cccleaner, smartdefrag, registry fix and advanced system care -- ALL of which are free and run them daily and throughout the day !!!! Might want to try this -- I had a tech from a REPUTABLE company here in America on the East coast telling me he was impressed with the stuff that I have on my computer -- I also have superantispyware run it daily and have never had problems -- EVERY time you are on this site or another its tracking and so many new MTs and even older MTS dont understand that you have to do daily tune ups
Off the box for now cause it is hot and humid here
CardioScribes
 Shannon,I w as offered a jot with them. will you please email me at gin3tac@yahoo.com
Try Cardioscribes and NEMT
question on the Cardioscribes ad..TIA
If you're an indpendent subcontractor, is it possilble to gain PTO as Cardioscribes mentioned in their add? I've always known PTO goes with employee status.
CardioScribes - anyone work for them - sm
Do they have any ICs? Do you commit to a time frame to work? How is the pay? Is it easy/difficult to get the lines in? E-mail privately if you wish - thanks!
Information on CardioScribes??
Does anyone have current information on CardioScribes? Platform? Pay? QA? Scheduling? Benefits? Treatment of transcriptionists? I see they are advertising on the job board again and I am tempted. Any input greatly appreciated.
CardioScribes platform ? sm
Anyone working for Cardioscribes - can you tell me what text Expander program you are using with their Wordscript platform and if you like it. Thanks!
Cardioscribes - Has anyone that applied in the (sm)
past month actually started working for them yet? I applied but didn't hear anything yet. Older posts imply they are just busy and are getting to applicants. Any information anyone can share? Do they pay on time? How is QA? Is there lots of work? ESL percentage?
CARDIOSCRIBES ROCKS!
I completely agree with Krissy. This is the first job I have LOVED in over a decade. The company is great and it truly has a family feel to it. The problem is that the MTs who ARE happy to be working for Cardiscribes don't have time to reply to every insane response on this forum. Most of us are happy and well-adjusted, and quite frankly too busy with our work to respond to such negativity.
Happy at Cardioscribes
You're right, I've never been on this site until Friday. But you'll see me often now. And you will ALWAYS see my name. I really like to put it out there when I believe in something. And I do believe in Cardioscribes. Glad you're happy at your job as well. I can really hear it in your writing. You hardly sound bitter at all.
My experience with Cardioscribes
I had been hired to work for them however, had Word 2000 and did not change which they said was fine no problems. I had my computer on listening to talk radio and I woke up at 2:00 a.m. one morning to find their Indian techs accessing my computer and royally screwed it up -- needless to say, I was livid and still paying for the Cardioscribes experience even though I NEVER received a paycheck from them and yes -- It was ALL India and RUDE staff to boot
