I did a google search and found their website. It does
appear that they are a new company and from what their website says sounds like they are pretty green. Copyright on the website is 2004, which doesn't necessarily mean anything. If you use the name and then online.com that is their website address. I don't recognize the name of the person listed, though that doesn't mean a whole lot either - LOL. My mom had a saying when my dad would some I didn't know that. She would say the library is full of things you don't know.
A net search brings up a defunct website with a 2003 date on it. Maybe not out there anymore? nm

STAY AWAY from this company! Do a search here. Lots of information, none of it good.
Been on it since May 2004
Still struggling. I have never gained back to what I was typing before.
Others have though, so it can be done.
Good luck.

STEDMAN'S 2004 PLUS -HELP
Hello, I need some help loading this program onto windows xp, MS word 2000. The dictionary demo loads and works, but I can't find the spellchecker??? Any suggestions, thanks. 
I worked for them 2004 and here is sm
I was hired to MT. I had little training on the platform they used. I worked as an MT for about a week and they asked me to be a QA at $14 an hour, to also be on-call at least 1 weekend a month for stats (that is 24/7) and to take overnight calls like 1 night a week. I did that.
I had to make an out of state move. I was told to take all the time you need. I thought it would take about 5 days to get back to work and I told the MT manager that. After 2 days, she starts calling all hours of the night and day, on my cellphone, and harasses me about when I will be back. I said 5 days and I need 5 days, which was rushing it anyway.
Guess what? She told my MTs (I also lead a team) that she had fired me, but neglected to tell me. She called each and every one of them asking if I had been hateful. I am never hateful!!!! Especially with my MTs! They deserved my respect and they got it. In the end, they still owe me nearly $600 and have refused to pay me.
Now, couple that with the fact that they had a HUGE teaching hospital in Alabama. About 2 or 3 weeks after she fired me, they lost that account. Furthermore, they would hire ANYONE who had every touched a keyboard. I had to QA that mess and it was an ENORMOUS mess. A cute angina. A cute appendix. A femaloral artery. A cesar's ansection. A right hammered toe. And on and on and on. I was not allowed to complain about the lack of capable MTs, nor ask for anyone to be fired or even to give individual feedback.
I lucked out really. I landed on my feet 3 months later and it has been MUCH better since then. I heard from a gal at that big MT head hunter employment agency (you know who) that she had once had her own company and my SG MT manager was the ONLY MT she had ever had to fire for lack of knowledge and quality, and subsequent insubordination when confronted with errors she refused to correct in subsequent work.
WHAT A MESS. What you all say fits right in with what I know of them.
Sorry. It has to be me. I did exactly what you said and all it has is 2004 and 2005.
Thanks anyway. Maybe someone will still enlighten me, but obviously it is not looking too positive so I probably won't waste my time with them.
Sorry..that's supposed to be "from 2004"

Spheris took over Healthscribe in 2004.
nm
That is what they paid me in 2004 1st shift BUT
Times have changed. I'd do it. I get $16 anytime I QA for a small regional company. I take it. I make double that MTing, which is 90% of my job.
I lost an ER MT job to EMR in late 2004.
Loved that account!

Thank you!
JLG - searched archives and only found 2004. I
could swear I have seen recent posts on JLG, but am afraid they must have been deleted. Any current info at all? Anything would be appreciated. Don't want to go from that BIG OLD FRYING PAN into the fire, if you know what I mean! 
When I searched, the only replies were dated 2004

Precyse info. Only found 2004..

Wall Street Journal article, October 2004
A friend sent this to me. UCSF heard from an overseas MT who had not been paid that if she did not receive the $$ owed her she would publish the reports on the internet. There was a lot of followup to this which I will not go into here, but why wouldn't this sort of thing still be possible.
Later that year there was a report of a group of MTs in Bangladesh who tried to force a change in their local management by threatening to make transcribed documents public.
After that California was supposedly looking at a bill to disallow sending confidential medical reports overseas as they are not bound by HIPPA. Never heard what came of that.
I still tell these stories to anyone considering sending work abroad. I just wish some of them overseas would be stupid enough to actually pull a few stunts like that and then see how much work we lose.
People seem to forget it was Pres. Bush pushed EMR in 2004. sm
Try googling 2 words: EMR Bush.
Found this article. Hope links are allowed.

You should check out the Nuance website and the Focus website
Nuance is Dictaphone and since a lot of use Dictaphone equipment, you can say we all have something to do with this. If you are surprised at the website above, look at the US website of nuance. Just IMHO and try to get both sides of the corporation.

Any current info on Med-Scribe? They're hiring and all I can find on here is from 2004. Thx!

Just shows that there are those they like and those they don't like.
So some will get a card, some will get a gift card, and some will get nothing. Just depends what group you fall in - same with getting good accounts and bad accounts. I wanna be that lucky person who is getting 2000 lines an hour on editing when the rest of us are getting around 150-200.
shows us who you really are
Your post is so demeaning to prospective MTs. People don't just come to this board to complain, they come to check on prospective employers because this is the only way to make sure you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. We don't know anything about a company until we research it. I was supposed to start training with SS in a few weeks, but I have decided that there is no way I will work for SS after this big mess.
I could almost guarantee you only decided to fix the problem when more MTs started showing up demanding answers. If you LOVE giving MTs work and helping them take care of their families then why do you offer them slave wages until they can provide proof that other MTSO are more generous than you are. What do you think about them apples!!! How mature of you.
Is this a Google search or MT Stars search?
