Must be the new and improved way to
recruit? Just makes me nervous. You know how some people don't test well - I just don't like interviews. Most MTs I know are more on the shy side - maybe even borderline hermit :-) Not sure who are the top 10 you mentioned so I guess I will just keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for your response.
Improved ISR?
What is the new platform that is supposed to be more efficient? I know what we have now is NOT efficient. I have been making the same tedious corrections over and over and over again for close to a YEAR! The current ISR is most definitely not learning.
Emdat is improved from the problems
mentioned about the spellchecker and foot pedal. It does not do everything Word does, but is okay if you have a good account and put in all your quick corrects.
Transcend has improved in the last two years...
I have stayed throughout, but many people have left and come back. We have better communication, better benefits and more importantly, a better platform. We have a 401-K match, and I received a nice Christmas card with a $25 gift card. No company is perfect and I do know Transcend struggled for a while years back - but I can't complain.
Has BeyondTXT improved over the years? sm
Just wondering since it will be new to me. Thanks!
Has Spheris improved any since 2007? I saw an add SM
and was thinking about applying. I worked for them before all the changes happened.
Thanks.
They have improved the platform recently and it's much quicker.
While the accounts I am on are high ESL, with the QA support and the community website for samples, I actually do well and like the accounts. Pay is always on time, the incentives are good. I like the company. You may too.
No, things definitely have not improved. I left a month ago
and really wish I had listed to the posters on here.
Has Ascend paying on time improved?
I see Ascend is needed radiology Transcriptionist and I just want to know if things are changed since the archives I have read.
I have to admit my line count has improved since reading the board
I see how everyone else is doing, and then I can set goals for me, though I am too shy to be on the goal board yet. I have to thank the board for that. It teaches me what is possible, and also that we can only do our best. I have to agree totally about how it has been a godsend.
soft script
i just started with them three weeks ago as an MI. i work fulltime somewhere else with almost four years experience. just by the emails, you can tell that both QA and MT areas need to do a little bit more standarizing.
soft script
i work for them too part time. so far, the only problem i have is standardization of QA because it gets confusing when one corrects one way and the other corrects another way.
soft script
lol see what you did, you got everyone fighting lol

Can ya tell they are bad news? 
Soft Script and OSI
SS tells you that you have to purchase Start/Stop software and pedal also though. If you have a universal pedal, you only need the software, but it is $75. I now find out that other companies using the same platform say it is not mandatory, so why are they saying it is? If they are making a kickback off the software, that makes them no better than TRANSCAM IMO. I'm not an easy one to sucker, but hats off to them! If you cannot tell someone WHY something is necessary, then it's not necessary. Start/Stop is a universal player. I own a universal player, so what's up?
OSI uses it too, and they don't demand unnecessary software purchases.
Soft Script
Don't go to work for Soft Script. I tried it, and it was a horrible experience. The dictators were awful, ESLs mainly. I'm an MT, and they wanted me for editing.
They make Medquist seem like a great place to work.
Nooooo,,, not Soft Script.
Soft Script
A friend of mine used to be the operations manager. Maybe the MT side of it is okay but the QA side is a different story. She told me that they took in a lot of new graduates. There was an incredible incredible amount of editing to be done on these reports and they were struggling with this task. Im not sure if they were sending out to India or not, but that may have also been some of the editing issue. Anyway, sounded like a real mess to me and I didn't care to jump into it. Like I say, the MT end of it may be perfectly fine. Any other experiences out there?
Soft Script
I hope so I don't work for them anymore. Does anyone have an info on Sten-Tel?
Soft Script
Can anyone tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly about Soft Script?
Soft Script
Info regarding SoftScript? Good or bad ? Stable or ? 
Soft Script?
Does anyone have any info about this company? Thinking of applying with them PT while still working for MQ PT. Any info about them, how easy their platform is, etc. would be greatly appreciated! :) Have a nice Sunday! :)
Soft Script
Can anyone give me information on Soft Script. Do they have flex schedules, is their platform easy to learn? Is there an abundancy of work like the advertise? I was considering sending them a resume. Any info you can offer would be great!
Thanks!
Typo in above - not Soft Script but
Medscribe
Chronicle and Soft Script
I had problems with the platform at Chronicle and SoftScript had poor training when cross training on a secondary account. The recruiter at Softscript wasn't always nice either. That was a couple of years ago. The Chronicle experience is very recent.
Soft Script info
I see Soft Script is hiring. Any current info on this company would be appreciated. Good, bad, or otherwise. Work flow, pay, benefits, etc. Thanks.
Soft Script Line Count
I have been with SS for a few years now and pay is dependable except for a couple times. But, don't you worry about the accuracy of your line count? Is there anyplace else you can work and have no idea how many lines you typed per report? Wonder Why??? No one will give you a straight answer, or for that matter any answer at all. Any management from SoftScript want to answer this Honestly?
Is Soft Script a good company. nm
:
Soft Script Pros and Cons
Pros: Their pay is good; the software is pretty user friendly, rare glitches.
Cons: Heavy ESLs; lots of accounts with tons and tons and tons of account specifics and many, many other details to learn; holidays don't exist to management. The management's attitude is poor.
QA: They pay per line. If you have experience, you'll get put on heavy ESL accounts and make nada if you do your job right.
A pair of soft flex gloves
Looking forward to using them on days when there's OT.
Old posts say that many MTs fail their testing, and they have offered low pay before, too. Soft

Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft

The only company I have ever worked for is Soft Script so I have absolutely nothing to compare sm
it to. I had my own accounts, lost them and so went with the first company to high resistance me! I've been with them a few years now and certainly have had issues but with absolutely nothing to compare it to, I have always assumed this was just par for the course....now after reading all these negative comments about the management and the platform, etc., I am wondering what I'm missing by staying with SS...how much worse is this company than most? Would it be prudent to start interviewing with other companies and if so, which ones are better than SS. I would so appreciate any input....I support myself and believe me if I can find a better company where I could make a bit more money...I would be there yesterday!
I doubt she's having fitful sleep. Money makes a soft mattress.
She sold us out for the mighty dollar.
This did not happen in a day; I bet she knew for months, way before she wrote that email a few weeks ago.
