platform has got to be the worst thing out there. They are run by a bunch of people who don't know what they are doing. They all tell you to do something different when it comes to the account specs. Impossible to make any money there.

Horrible company, horrible dictators, ESL
at its absolute worst, sound quality horrible. The MTs I did QA for were horrendous. They made up words, obviously didn't use a spellchecker, couldn't get the hang of something as simple as copying and pasting Preop diagnoses to postop diagnoses and would type same again and again. QA manager would send out updates for new drugs, equipment and have things misspelled, frequently got e-mails that evidently were sent because someone wanted to feel important, absolutely no useful information, management problems, lots and lots of turnover, including management. The CEO has no clue about transcription and is in it for the money. After talking with him you feel like you need a shower.
Two years ago I was offered .075 cpl. Horrible dictators!

Sound quality horrible, the worst ESL dictators
I ever heard and I do probably 80% ESLs, poor management, poor support, pay sometimes late. I can honestly say I wouldn't refer my worst enemy to them.
The ESL dictators are horrible. Management is very mean and nasty when things
are not going perfectly. Stay away.
Softscript! Horrible sound quality, awful dictators, bad management, and late paychecks...nm

but if the company has dictators sm
who dictate like this then YES it is fair to test you on those. It does no good to give you a good dictator (whatever you deem to be good) and then most of the dictators of of the caliber you had on the test. It is very fair and honest to the potential employee. What happens if you test on a dictator that is good and then your account has the really bad ones? Is that fair to you or the company?
It use to be that folks in the MT profession accepted this as part of the profession and none of this was ever a point. Seems now MT has come down to lines, spaces, cpl and all the rest and forget the real reason behind this profession, THE PATIENTS!
I hope my company flies under the radar. This is horrible what happens to one company sm
after another on this board. The owners must have very thick skin. First TT, then Amphion, now Keystrokes. No one is safe. I hope everyone takes all they read with a grain of salt. I have met a few of the owners of the some of the bigger services, and they are all very nice, including those that own Webmedx, Keystrokes, Execuscribe, Medware, MDI and Transcend. I hate to think how they feel when they read things on here, even though they all say they don't read the posts here and advise against it. I don't know how they don't read them; I look just to make sure that no one mentions mine.
Horrible, horrible, horrible place. Unlike the other poster
I actually worked there. Sound quality is horrendous. The account I had was the worst ESL I've ever had and I do 85% ESL so I have no problems doing ESL. Frequent management turnover. When I was doing QA the work was so bad that I pretty much had to redo every report. I hear about how well they pay, but they don't pay that well and certainly not enough to compensate for all the other stuff.
The account is not bad but it has heavy Hispanic dictators. I worked on it for another company and
get used to it, it is a great account. If you really want a different account, just talk to them. They are really good about switching accounts for people. Call Becky in the office. She is the HIM coordinator now according to her email signature line. She is the best!
This company is horrible and you'd be better
off not taking a position with them. There are issues with their line counts with MTs being cheated - this is in addition to horrible management, horrible dictators, horrible QA people ......
Horrible company!
Do not work for this company. They want their work 12 TAT or sooner. They will drive you crazy!!!
Horrible company!!
Do not work for this company. The pay is horrible!!! They pay $4.25 per 1,000 words. That's like 5 cents per line!!!
They are such a horrible company they can't keep
good, qualified people, so they have to give newbies a chance so they can get the work done.
Yup...horrible company
Someone else just asked about them a week or two ago. I worked there almost 2 years ago for about a month as an IC. They are an Indian company. They just have a store front location in Massachusetts, but they only do payroll and HR there. The account leads, QA, and trainers are all in India, and these are the people that you will always be dealing with. I also found that the pay was on the low side. The training was horrible because of the huge language barrier, and I didn't learn a thing. I was always running out of work and the QA, account leads, and technical support, in my experience, were pretty rude. I was even yelled at one time because I called for tech support and couldn't understand them! They also deduct pay for errors. I got out a few weeks after I started. I just couldn't take it anymore. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to work for them.
TTS is a horrible company.

SS is a horrible company, but as far as the
lack of work I've heard several people complain about it lately and are trying to pick up some part-time work.
They are a horrible company and they did you
a favor if you decided to look elsewhere.
WHAT?! What a horrible company.

QT Medical is a wonderful small company. Very friendly and flexible with good dictators. sm
I have to be honest that I know nothing about the health insurance as I do not carry it. Anyway, they are an absolute wonder of a company. Apply at www.qtmedical.com
Lots. Horrible company.
Sound quality horrible, dictators beyond horrible. Late paychecks, constantly changing ways to get lines, horrible management.
Had a horrible experience with this company and could not with a
clear conscious recommend them. Check archives or scroll back to November for details.
Sounds like a horrible company to me
They pay 5 cpl, charge you if you send reports to QA, and only pay once a month. Also, someone posted an article about the owner below that was in BusinessWeek. It states how much debt she is in cuz she's not aggressive about making sure her clients pay her. Also, she charges 12 cpl, but then only pays the MTs 5???!!! Why would anyone work for a company like that?
SoftScript is a horrible company, would not be on my
top 10 companies. I haven't worked for Transcend. I hated WMX too. I had heard lots of good things about them, but I sure didn't see it. There have been lots of bad posts about them lately.
Horrible company, they are legit though.
There is a reason they are always hiring. Lots in the archives.
Worked there 2 years ago..horrible, horrible, horrible.
Would totally avoid them at all costs.
Worst company out there. Horrible sound
quality, horrible ESLs, system not user friendly, loopy QA. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.
Read through the archives, horrible company.
The dictators are some of the worst ESLs, sound quality is horrific, the reports are so bad I had to basically retype them, flaky QA, management problems, etc.
A horrible company who does not value truth or the employees.

Sounds like the company I work for now. Horrible
it. The company in general is also very, very strict on QA, so there's never a relaxed minute as the newbie on the block, and the cliques! Its cruel. I feel like I'm in school again, getting left out and laughed at and even set up for failure. There is always someone calling out sick, etc., as you describe, and I am told I always have to be the one to cover due to seniority, or my lack of it. Its so upsetting that I'm just about to throw in the towel myself. I'm sorry I can't recommend anyone other than MQ QA, but I heard they are no longer hiring QA staff. They used to pay really, really well and the conditions were fine. Best of luck to you.
Great platform, horrible company
NM
Judging from previous posts they are a horrible company.
THey offshore big time. If you'll search the archives you'll find lots on them.
All the old reviews say they're horrible. Listen to those MTs and choose another company. nm

SoftScript is the worst - horrible accounts, horrible management, don't go there! nm
nm
horrible, horrible contact person! Worst experience ever. SM
Turned it down because of the arrogance and attitude.
That was not long ago. Ads run every 2 - 3 months.
Horrible accounts, horrible sound quality, etc
The only time SoftScript would not be wonderful is if you aren't doing your job. They are an extremely professional company. Sounds like someone may not have lived up to their standards.
Horrible, horrible place. Lots in the archives.
Horrible platform. Horrible communication.
Horrible people who say one thing and then when you do what they say, they get mad and act ugly.
Enough of a bone?
Dictators
Actually, yes. The dictators are very good and the variety was also a good mix.
How many dictators a day do you do who
speak clearly, enunciate each word, isn't eating, chewing gum, or flipping through the chart while they are trying to dictate, who does umm, umm, umm every third word? I don't think VR will be a threat any time soon, if ever.
dictators
The majority are good. After a few times of transcribing them and with sample reports, not a problem
You must be getting my **not so bad** ones, then ! Let me have some of those dictators ! n/m
b
Hispanic Dictators
Hopefully its not De Tar Navarro. That's an awful account. They have quite a few of "mush mouth" RN's who dictate for the doctors. You don't get samples, so you pretty much wing it. At least you don't get the defy's (QA markers at MQ) counted against you!! De Tar is all progress notes and a few discharge summaries. You're lucky if you can get 3/4 of your required line count!! Other than that account, the others were pretty easy (with the exception of those bad quality sound files that is).
They are in a folder as are they for a ton of dictators.
Unfortunately, there are TONS of them that I have to scroll through. Even though they are alphabetized by dictators last name, it is very time consuming.
Difficult dictators?
So MDI-FL and WebMedx both have decent health insurance for a decent price? And what do we have to do to get that? Are they all ESL? Or do they truly have decent dictators where you can make some money. I have done very few ESL. What typing speed are they looking for?
Been there . . . this is actually a step up on dictators for me!!! NM
NM
Depends on who the dictators will be.
At Spheris, I got paid 0.09 for acute care but only 0.075 for ER work.
I could do nearly twice the lines of ER work, though, because of better dictators.
So, I pushed to do as much ER work as possible and made considerably more money.
Yep REALLY low job #'s from dictators from hell
slow dictators
but can't you speed them up with ExText so they sound like chipmunks, hahaha....
Some of these cesspool dictators would not...........sm
 actually be so bad if there wasn't so much background noise and you could hear what they were actually saying!
Awful dictators
Awful dictators. They cannot keep people on this ortho account. The sound is so muffled, you cannot understand even an otherwise very clear dictator. They do not have a website.
We could say the same thing about their ESL dictators...sm
who are making a 6-figure fortune off of our backs...while they pay us pennies. Learn the language, at least!
