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.

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.

Has Soft Script improved at all lately. nm
:

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.
