If it is the company in Wisconsin, you will have trouble with pay.

They pay late frequently; they short paychecks; they don't know how to use direct deposit and will "wire" your pay and you have to pay a wire transfer fee at your bank; look in the archives. They are also EXTREMELY unorganized and unprofessional. Nothing good here.

AccuStat in Wisconsin
I need some input from anyone working for AccuStat. I started with them on Monday. Today is Thursday. Not much work given to me so far. My work is top quality, so that's not the issue. I'm getting nervous. So far I have made enough money to buy McDonald's lunch (well, maybe dinner too). Do they run out of work often? Help!!! I need some input.
AccuStat Wisconsin
Would anyone have any info on this company based out of Wisconsin?
TIA!
I only know about AccuSTAT in Wisconsin, but
you can check the archives. It is a small MTSO with good accounts and good dictators, but they only hire IC status and I needed benefits. The pay was always on time and for headers and spaces.

AccuStat out of Wisconsin. sm
I have been working for this company for 6 months as an IC (editor and MT). The owner is great to work and pay is always on time. The dictators I get are like dreams. Having to have a C-phone can be a bit of an obstacle, but luckily for me I am an oldie and so I have one. Great work, straight typing and you are actually paid for what you do. I know there are so many questions about different companies and I wanted to give my opinion on this one.
Have a great day!

Checked archives but did not find anything.
Love AccuStat out of Wisconsin!!! sm
Funny thing. This is just a part time job. I work as QA and still transcribe as well. Today, I realized that the part time job I decided to take for Christmas of 2007 has continued for 10 full months and I have absolutely no desire to leave. Great people, great work! I hope everyone can find a company like them!
Any info on Medscript out of Wisconsin?
Medscript Transcription Service, out of Watertown or Oconomowoc - has anyone worked there, any info good or bad to share?
Mediscript and Medscript out of Texas and/or Florida are different companies and not what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Has any one heard of On-Point MT Services out of Wisconsin?
Some friends of mine went to On-Point which is fairly new. But I heard there are problems like being understaffed and payroll not being met.
AccuStat Wisconsin recruiter replies...
Hey fellow MTs - I got an immediate response from AccuStat (WI) when I replied to one of their ads. I did some research on the company before I told them I was interested. My reply email was 12 hours after they sent me theirs. Now I haven't heard from them. I wonder if I waited too long to respond. I was actually trying to decide between 2 companies and guess I took too long. Haven't heard back from either one of them.
The job searching and not knowing what's behind door #3 is the almost the worst part of this profession.
Thank goodness for this board! I have made many, many a career decision based partly and sometimes entirely on these comments. TY!
I charge .12cpl, I pickup and deliver. Wisconsin. nm

Medscribe in Indiana and Medscript Transcription Service out of Wisconsin
Does anyone know anything about either of these companies? Also, what does one need to be an IC; that is tax forms, etc.
Putting out the word, AccuSTAT Wisconsin is hiring for Basic 4 - Ops. They have their webiste up
and now offering direct deposit. This is a great company to work for. It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin. The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children. There is plenty of work and you use Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe. The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English. I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not think of working anywhere else. Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!
Yes!! I have been having trouble with that
for some time now. I am just not happy with them because I am on two accounts; one I can get 300 lph on, but they give me the bad one, which I can only get about 120 lph on. I dunno why they do this. I am looking for work elsewhere. It stinks and it will not change obviously. I have been with them a year and am so sick of their games!!
I did not get in trouble...
and I did not get a reply, but I am complying with the email to restrict email at HIS to business only.
The MT who emailed me was just mad at what I had written and she expressed that she felt that what I said did not represent her feelings.
not a bad rap?? Huh - what about the trouble they
got in for not paying overtime? How is it that some people get to be on the same account all the time, while others had to jump from account to account throughout the day? Maybe you are on one of those hospital accounts that is paid through the hospital and not Diskriter - because that is the only way you would be happy and THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT DISKRITER will leave you alone to do your job. I can't tell you the number of phone meetings I had to take part in, away from my line count production to listen to garbage and stupid pep rally crap. I'm glad I left when I did, because others I know left as well.
well I have had no trouble with them.

I had the same trouble with them.
I've posted this before. She had to put her dog out that kept barking in the background. She wanted to know why I left my previous job on-site (duhhh). It does not take rocket science to figure that I wanted to work from home. I would be skeptical to give out office/physician names of your accounts if you have any. It makes me wonder if they want some of this information so they can target the offices you work for and go in for the kill. Is this just me being paranoid? This can be a real cut-throat profession. 
D&L is in trouble, better get out
while you can. I would call tech (if they still have a tech guy left) and then Donna... For your own sake, get out while you can... They have no intensions of paying the people they owe. I would not let them get behind in your pay.. when the excuses start, stop typing.. I should have long before they owed me three paychecks. Good luck. Does not sound good though. Are the phones still on?
Of course they got in trouble (sm)
As you said, they were dictating ALL parameters  . Did you take a few minutes to read the article that I posted? It clearly states what an IC contract should include, which in part is the definition of the project, the deadline for when the project should be completed, and the rate of pay for the project. It also states that a company can refuse work from a contractor that is not to standard. The article confirms everything that I said from the beginning of this conversation.
Trouble too, not just you! sm
I also have had trouble making my line count! I don't think it is just you. However, I have been with many, many companies in the past few years and I just keep running out of work at all of them, so I'm staying put for now because at least if I run out here, I get paid. I keep track of every minute I am out of work. I was just switched to a new account (quite difficult), but at least I always have work and I think I can get used to the difficulty. Oh, how I miss the days of doing 300 lph and actually having money, though!
Have you had any trouble getting -
I recall a couple of posts in the last month or so claiming DV doesn't pay. Have you run into this problem yet?
You trying to cause trouble sm
I am here working today. I have not received even a single email telling me to work, not a thing!
I didn't have work the first hour today, but I went and did something else for an hour, came back and I have had steady work since. I even have some of my favorite things, which is unusual in the morning.
If you could just hear yourself!
why go through so much trouble?
I don't understand why the company went through so much trouble, risking their name/reputation, and the chance of a law suit, knowing that it could be proven that you did not send the email yourself if you indeed didn't. Why didn't they just let you go. If any of what the previous poster stated is true, they had reason for dimissal, if you frauded your timecard, if you constantly complained to co-workers, etc. If any of that was true, they could have fired you for those reasons. Why would they go through such drastic measures to fire you, that's what I can't understand. I'm not saying I don't believe you, just seems hard to believe a company would go through all that. What's your thoughts, why would they do this instead of just letting you go?
Not much, it seems, except cause trouble.
The trouble with VR
VR in and of itself is not a bad thing. It is the idea put forth by the slick salesmen that MTs can produce twice as much in an hour as they did by standard typing. But the going rate is 3 cpl which works out to 6 cpl if you were to extrapolate out the exchange rate for standard typing. Ya follow? So now we are at 6 cpl. That is way below what the going rate for straight typing is. But they deceive you by offering 8 cpl for standard typing and 3 cpl for VR. But there is very little standard typing so you end up making 3 cpl and in an hour you may make 6 cpl. So how did they arrive at that price? Because they push the envelope as far as they think it will go. And as long as we let them, they will continue the abuse.
sorry for your trouble. sm
I think I would just get the line counts figured and merely mail it in now, albeit late, you should get it eventually one would think. Just include - please notify me when the compensation can be expected, so you know what is going on, or not going on.
If not, and since they benefited from the lines, and can be verified you actually did indeed do the work, merely contact the labor department..
No trouble here...
... not at all. And I don't run close to the wire, either....
Having trouble understanding
your post, but if it was supposed to mean that we "could" have the option of transcribing and/or using VR, perhaps at this very minute in time you do, but that won't last much longer.
From the wording of your post, I'm having trouble believing you're a living, breathing human being. Are you instead a VR program looking for a home? If so, maybe you'd better fine-tune your voice-recognition ability to correct that "good" versus "could" voice conflict you've got going on. If you are a human being attempting to convey a thought about "bad" MTs, take a good, long look at your own post and tell me where they should begin the "weeding-out" process.
I personally think they should start with MTs who type sentences such as, "I was under the impression that we good straight type, do VR or both!"
FLO'S QA DEPT STILL IN TROUBLE
So many QA people are getting fired, and she is still hiring replacements for them long before they have a clue that they are about to get the ax. She is not keeping anyone who knows more than she does.
Speaking of which, did you see the email about the account manager position? Only 2 years experience as an MT is required. Two years experience. Unbelievable! Cheap-cheap-cheap.
That is what is wrong with OSi. Nobody is qualified to do their uppity jobs, including the QA Director, except the MTs, who continue to lose work to India via outsourcing!!!!
Anybody having trouble making
Amphion? I have been with them 3 months and still have not hit my 1200 line goal. Would like to know if anyone else has had this experience.
I had trouble keeping up with my
The QA department wants to proof everything before you get paid, therefore what you typed may not be what you get paid for. I couldn't ever figure out how much I was going to receive. People were real nice, accounts good, but there was room for dishonesty in line counting in my mind.
trouble with software
I am still having trouble with the ExText software. I know TT is doing their best to get everything smoothed out...but I am concerned because it really slows me down and is very frustrating...I just get all geared up and ready to have at it...but the software gives me nothing but problems. It cuts me off after I complete a report and then I have to sign back on to get dictation. Sometimes the system does not recognize my foot pedal, and I have to crawl under my desk undo the USB connection and reconnect, then it will work. All in all this is very frustrating. Also I find some of the doctors are difficult to understand...I think they are speaking too close or too far away from their microphone, etc. I know my line counts thus far are not good at all. I like the company...they are all very, very nice to work with, especially QA. I have been on the account about 3 weeks now...I sure hope it improves soon.
Thanks for your input.
