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!
AllHealth in GA - Good company, good equipment, any info about this company? (sm)
What type of work do they have? Any op reports? Appreciate any info.
Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
Strictly IC, good company, hard accounts, good platform.
Good pay, always on time, no direct deposit though.
Is Transcend a good company with a good platform to work on. They are advertising.

Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

TransTech for many reasons, good pay, stable company, good benefits
and flexible.
I have looked around the last 6 months and have found nothing better. Have turned down numerous jobs, and have finally decided to stay put. The better insurance plans were announced and even moreso than ever, I am staying put, and my paycheck is happy about that because it is getting better every day. Good luck to you.
TransTech is a good company. Debbie is the owner and a good one at that! nm

Good company, great people, good benefits.
Affordable insurance. Good luck!
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
Has Soft Script improved at all lately. nm

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.
I know JLG and they are a good company with a good group of people
I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had. Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year. I followed my manager from another giant company.
I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start. The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced. Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it.
There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments
DSG is a good company. The sound quality is good sm
but I don't understand why they are hiring. In the a.m. was have NO work. The afternoon and evenings do have more work though.
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?
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.
or maybe it's really a good company. Give me a break. If a company isn't talked about sm
on here, good or bad, it's probably too small to matter and does not offer benefits or anything at all.
Old posts say that many MTs fail their testing, and they have offered low pay before, too. Soft
s
Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft

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.
Good company, with good incentive SM
pay scale, decent health plan for full-timers, lower end for other benefits, well organized and dependable, good platform, good support. Very heavy ESL, medium-sized community medical centers, relatively high SR pay rate because it takes longer overall to clean it up. However--good producers who put in a good workday make quite good money here.
good company
I have been with them for awhile now. Every one is wonderful and helpful. I thought it was a 65 character per gross line. I am going to look back through my notes. If it is not, I still make a line count that I am happy with and still improving. Pay is always on time. Have a good day.
Good company
I am happy with them. Good accounts, very rare to run out of work, good managers, decent pay. I feel I have been fairly treated.
D*** good company, go for it
I was off of QA in 3 days, overtime yes, benefits, yes. GO FOR IT, EXCELLENT COMPANY.
GOOD IC COMPANY!
I have found Philbrick Transcription (based out of CT) to be a great company and they only offer IC status. They have a great starting line rate too!!! www.philbricktranscription.com
Anyone out there know about Cy Med. Is it a good company sm
How do they pay? Do they count lines fairly? Do they have a lot of bad ESL? They seem like a nicer, kinder MT company even offering time and a half until you get up to speed. Are they liars who say anything to get you to sign on? Can you expect them to be true to their word? Thanks any and all imput! What a crazy world. I am going wild trying to find a nice MT company.
Good Company
Wonderful group of people to work with. Been there since August, with a few problems at home, and they have been great. Very high standards for quality.
Good company. sm
One downside is occasionally running low on work, but I have plenty of backups, so I never run out. Platform gets quirky sometimes, but it doesn't stop me from producing and earning bonuses. Great people. Come on over.
I don't consider them a good company. I
took their test to work for them and I have more than 18 years of experience and they sent me a really insulting letter telling me to apply again in six months when I had more experience.
The audio was horrible and I had no way of slowing the dictation down.
I asked about what errors I had made and of course they told me to call. I was not going to do that if they could not even give me an estimate of my mistakes which they could easily have done. I was not about to play phone tag when I needed to work badly and had to wait till I was finished for the day to take the stupid test.
When you don't have the right equipment, just how are you supposed to take a test. I know that I got the answers to the written part right and I did the best I could with the dictation which I say was awful, but to insult me like that having 18 years of experience and sending that shoddy letter just infuriated me. I will never try again, I'll sure bet.
Glad the rest of you got past the front door and liked it. I thought I sure would have. Oh, well. I
MDI is a good company
I've been there about 5 months now, and I really like it. Pay is good and always on time - either employee or IC status. Good benefits but family insurance is expensive. Flexible as far as schedule and if you have doctor appointments or whatever. Never had any problem with that. Management has always been more than fair about any issues that I've had. The platform I work on is word based, but they have several different platforms - just depends where they need help and what you're needs are. Work was a little slow in the summer, but there's been plenty lately. I think every company has a slow time in the summer, or at least that's been my experience. I've been with other nationals, and so far, MDI is by far the best one I've worked for. Very happy there.
TT is a good company.
that are a piece of cake. Some, I hear, are not. Some of the ESLs in back posts are said to be very hard to understand.
Good company

No. Not a good company
A lot of MTs left this company for a lot of reasons, none good. I liked them at first, but that did not last.
They seem to be a good company (SM)
Not a lot of bad about them on the web. I interviewed and tested for them, but the recruiter was off line and had computer troubles, never recontacted me, so I went with another company. It would be a good choice, I think. They offer a complete surgical position. At one time, there was a $2,000 sign-on bonus paid out $500 every 3 months. Might be worth a try, still. Good luck.
GOOD COMPANY?????
In your own opinion, which company would be the BEST? I am in desparate need of getting a new job (MAJOR problems with current company). Don't want to get screwed around, pay decent and decent dictators. Thanks everyone!!!
RE: Good Company
Give Transcend a try.
GOOD COMPANY
I would suggest trying Transtech. They are very fair, pay on time, and offer good benefits. I have been with them for about 6 months and I am very happy.
