Hi everybody!! Yesterday, OmniScribe contacted me through email and asked me to take a test for them. It was not the typical test where they ask you about your grammar skills and medical knowledge and stuff like that. It asked really off the wall questions. Has anyone else had this experience with them or any other agencies? Any and all questions, comments or otherwise are welcome. Thanks!

I am an IC for Omniscribe...
and have never been happier. I started near the very beginning - about a month after her first major account. My checks are not late. _____ works very hard to keep her MTs happy by providing us with our own forum, keeping us up-to-date on things happening with the company, and providing plenty of feedback and encouragement. I have worked for major nationals and the difference is night and day. I am thrilled with my job and LOVE working for Omniscribe and for ____. I'm not sure who this other person is but I have communicated with every employee that has been at Omni. I will say it again. Checks have not been late. ____ is all about encouraging her MTs. She does demand high-quality work, but then I demand the same of myself. Those are the facts.
Omniscribe
I really hate to get into a war of words on a board, but feel the need to tell you that I think Omniscribe has been unfairly represented. I have been with them for 2 years now, and it is a great company to work for. I would strongly recommend that if you are interested in getting an unbiased opinion, you contact the owner and ask to speak with one of her current employees. After all, anyone NOT still working for her probably has an ax to grind. Please don't hesitate to apply! - You will be very happy you did.
Omniscribe
I have worked at Omniscribe for almost a year now, and I love it here. I had worked at 2 of the big national companies in the past, and I am so much happier here than I was at either of those companies. The owner here really tries to work with her MTs. I never felt I was more than a number at the other places. I also love the account I work on.
This is a great company for newbies because they are given lots of guidance and feedback.
I have no complaints and plan to stay a long, long time!
Omniscribe
I live in Idaho and have never heard of this company, where is it
Omniscribe
Can anyone give me any information on Omniscribe? All of the posts I found were old. Anything current would be great. If you want you can email me. Thanks in advance.
Omniscribe?
Anyone got any info? I checked the board, but I haven't found much out there. I am curious about them.
As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Anyone work for or know anything about Omniscribe?
Sounds like a good place from what I've heard, I know they hire ICs...anything else pertinent? Thanks.
Omniscribe in Idaho?
I've searched and read the archives, but I'm looking for more recent information. Thanks!
Happy with Omniscribe as well!!!
I have to reiterate what the previous defender of Omniscribe had to say. I have been with Omniscribe for about 6 weeks now, and I am perfectly happy with the owner, QA personnel, training, etc., as well as the rest of the staff. All have been very helpful and considerate of me during my training. Any questions have been answered quickly through either IM or e-mail. The owner has been very understanding of my personal needs and very respectful of me as a contractor.
Be very careful of adopting opinions from people who do not have first-hand experience with a company. While boards like this can be useful tools in your job search, adopting someone else's opinion as your own without speaking with an actual employee or two could cause you to miss out on a very nice employment arrangement for yourself.
I'm happy at Omniscribe!
Omniscribe Rocks!
Okay, so the subject of this messages says it all. I have not been with Omniscribe for very long, just a few months, but I have been a medical Transcriptionist for over 10 years and have worked for a few different companies. I would highly recommend this company to any new or established medical transcriptionist. I LOVE the account I work on and really love the flexibility offered by this company. Yes, they DEMAND high quality, (the highest standards I have come across to date), but I would not have it any other way. Kresta is a fair and delightful person to work for and I would suggest if you are looking for a great company to work for...look no further. Note to the flamer of the negative post, to quote Shakespeare The lady doth protest too much, me thinks. (smirk). D
Another happy Omniscribe IC
I just wanted to say that I am really happy at Omniscribe. I feel like I am part of a very strong team. I am a newbie, and I love the support, patience, training, and QA people. They always answer my questions promptly. The owner is a very encouraging person, and she is very understanding. I love Omniscribe! I feel appreciated!
OOPS!! SORRY I MEANT OMNISCRIBE

Why no recent posts about Omniscribe? Everyone happy there?
Thx
OmniScribe.....has anyone heard of this company? Just wondering because they
offered to test me. Thanks
I read all read all the threads in the "companies" section
of another board, MT Chat, and Googled each one that got positive reviews. If they had a website and a way to apply online, I did so. And that was how I got hired at TRS. They were not advertising at the time. By sheer coincidence I applied to Transcend just before I applied to TRS, and they were not interested in what I had to offer at the time. And now they've got me anyway, since they bought TRS. Interesting how things work out sometimes.
Companies with negative reviews, or company queries that got only a terse I sent you a PM reply, I passed over.
I read your post. What do you want me to re-read?
and it seems those are your posts, too, so things just didn't add up and seemed inconsistent. If a place dropped me down to p.r.n. at 7 cpl or whatever and I already had another job where I could get 1000-1500 lines, I wouldn't give the first place a second thought so just couldn't figure out why anyone else would.
To Before You Read This
Girl... you are absolutely right on target and now even after I read your comments, I never knew OSi outsourced. That to me is a SLAP in the face. And you are right about the promotions. I have applied for different jobs and told they were already taken. when they have a job available, they KNOW ahead of time who they are going to hire. and you are right about the "welcoming thing, saying welcome so and so, when we didn't know there was a job available Now that I know they ship work overseas, I am totally OUTTA here. And you are right again, you are NOT paid extra fo holidays, weekends, or shift differentials.
OSI........LOL....... read on.....
OSi will promise you the world if they want you bad enough. Then once they get you, the promises are null and void. I see where they are finally following through on their annual raises that they promised years ago that no one ever got....and FINALLY, a holiday incentive? Wow, they must really be desperate.......I worked for OSi for many years, gave them my all and got nothing in return except heartache in the end.........do what you want, but just be looking over your shoulder every inch of the way and get EVERYTHING in writing!
Don't believe everything you read. sm
Most are staying with MQ.
Did you read where it said
39 hour 7 day work week?? Does this mean we are being forced to work weekends? I only browsed through mine.
Don't believe all you read....
I had never even heard of MTStars when I was looking for my first at-home MT job. I would have never accepted the position I currently hold. Every time someone tries to encourage others to apply at "my company" the negative banter that follows only does more harm than good. Just wanted all to know you can't believe even half of what you read on here. Mostly just ex-employees of wonderful companies that couldn't quite make the cut.
Sorry, that should read SM above
nm
I can't read it.
In fact, I can't read any posts regarding Transcend. First time I heard of Yahoo even having a message board about them. If you can still access it, could you please copy and paste it and email it to me? I'm very interested in this, concerning the constant turnover & turmoil with that company. Thanks.
I cant read it either. NM
aaa
Read above! Read below. Just read!

Please read....
This topic has come up before and this concerns me as well. I saved a post I did on this board a while back. It's edited a little but the message is the same. Here it is.
I've worked in many pathology departments, referral labs, and the like. And I'm here to tell you that there isn't a single pathologist that I have met that is willing to go with VR let alone outsource their dictation. NOTHING will convince me otherwise. As for radiology, I am seeing too much of it being outsourced to ever believe it will go totally VR. Besides, VR is an absolute joke! Y'know that old phrase? Garbage in/Garbage out? Well, there are many docs who have already found out that's just how VR works. Just TRY, and I mean just TRY and take out the human element out of the picture (meaning the transcriptionist) and you will have reports coming back that are even worse than what is coming back from India!!!!! A question here....a very serious one......don't you think that if VR was more effective in transcribing reports that all the companies outsourcing overseas would go with VR before they did that? Something to think about. I've been around since 1990 in this field and they have been saying that VR was going to replace transcriptionists back then. Well, here we are 15 years later and quite frankly, VR hasn't even made it past first base yet. The doctors, the naysayers if you will, the big companies, etc. will be trying to find anyway they can to save money, cut costs and so on and the bottom line is, it will NEVER HAPPEN. The Transcriptionist is here to stay. There is absolutely no way you can take the human element out of this picture and have the absolute best quality reports/charts/medical information system on the planet....PERIOD.
Read MSG
Thank you for noticing!! Yes I made typos.. there are LOTS of MTs that make typos on here. As long as Im not doing it on my accounts I don't really care. I DO make this much on ONE account. I charge 12 cpl GROSS. I do have one Transcriptionist who make about 15000/year, so yes deduct this off the 60,000. This is also PRETAX. I really should not have to explain myself. I knew I would get some posts like the ones I got. I will laugh all the way to the bank with my nice FAT checks, while these negative people struggle at their low paying jobs. :)
Happy New Year!!
You do not know how to read do you?
Who said I still worked there?? I specifically said the entire year I worked there. As in PAST TENSE!!!
read above on DRC
read all the notations
Read this:
http://www.mtstars.com/
second paragraph
And also on the main board at the very top read the sticky post embracing offshoring...
did you read it
Hmmm... and what fact did the other person have except to say she would stand by the owner....!!! And someone already working at a company of course what are they going to say? But everyone will find out for themselves. These are just differences of opinions! Simply that. If you don't agree move on. No big deal. And honestly that person is a cheerleader. Goodness sake.
I still have not read what the lie was. What was the lie?
I think the MTs should know what that was.
then don't read about it..everyone has a right
to an opinion.
as said above, if you don't like it, don't read it.
nm
It is something to read because....
People for some reason did not know how truly open SPi is on their website about their feelings toward US MTs. People were questioning that on this site last week. In case they didn't know...I wanted them to be able to read it for themselves.
Did you read right?
The pricing I read was 17 cpl for gross lines under 2500 lines per month. Most of my accounts do well over 10,000 lines per month which is only 13.5 cpl and that is very fair for large company. I charge 12.5 cpl but I pick up and deliver and print. And at that price it is hard to pay someone 10 cpl to type as you only get 3.5 to (I get 2.5) cover all of your expenses. Unless I read it wrong and if I did then please slap my wrist. Those 4 to 5 cents per line that a MTSO makes has to cover a lot of things and if you have a QA person on top of that then you make very little per line. That is why I stay so small as the more you grow and the more IC's you have the more headaches of coverage, quality and other things. Anyway just had to say what I read was 17 cpl for anything below 2500 lines per month.
I read that too
last week all of the financials were in process. Today, at least according to our daily report, it became official. I sincerely hope that this guy is true to his word, especially considering all, at least to me, the talk from our team saying how this is going to be a good thing and that they have not sold us down the river.
that should read get RID of the changes, sorry. nm

From what I read
They are probably backed up but I would leave the vet's name and number, telling them the vet will tell them what it is and if it was their product. That might carry more weight. Most likely every sick cat is being called about whether it is the food or not. Don't give up, vet bills are outrageous and they only take cash up front I know - been there - but after 2000.00 my cat lived (not this food crisis but a couple of years ago). Maybe your vet would call them that might carry more weight.
just read this
You must have posted at the same time I did.
This company is paying you when it is convenient for them. In other words, they are in trouble. Why do you want to stay with a company that does not value their employees? You deserve better.
Read the above again. nm
I read it again and (sm)
it sounds to me like you are saying people have to edit offshore, or send it offshore, or whatever you mean to get a paycheck, and what I am saying is there are other companies to work for.
Have you read.........
Everything about them on this page?????
Please read before considering the Q
I left MQ after 14 years of dedicated service. It is a horrid place to work these days imo. There was such a lack of work the last year I was employed and yes, I do all work types and high ESL as I am very experienced. US MT/MEs are given the bottom of the barrel in work and even I had trouble with the dictator's speech barriers. Not just the lack of work but the low pay. Was told I would never get another raise, kept losing supervisors, had to work nights and weekends, unindated with stupid e-mails then no reply when questions asked to supervisors, and on and on. MQ likes to keep their employees in the dark about just about every decision until the last minute. You should check out the MQ Board and you'll see how unhappy so many are. I got out about a month ago and am so happy with my new place. Bottom line - MQ cares out their Indian and Vietnamese employees before their US of A and that was my boiling point! Good luck with your decision.
At least he can read which is more than I can say for the
dunce we have in there now.
That's how I read it too!
Count me in...doesn't hurt to try anyway!
Please read it again.
The ad does not say that you get double pay if you do not work.
Did I read their ad right?
Is this just a medical coding company?
tell me if I read this right...
MTStars ad: Experienced US MTs....

Should I be wary?
