All I can find in archives about Mediscript is sm
"Bad news!" and nothing else. That doesn't tell me or anyone else anything useful. I don't care if someone says "bad news!" but could they please back it up with some real info? Preferably first-hand experiences would be nice, thank you.
Does anyone out there have any info about Mediscript? I know they pay by the gross line, but how much? Do they offer direct deposit? When are the pay days? How's the platform? Any info appreciated. I'd like to gather some information first before I take any tests or talk to them so I can determine if it's worth going through all that for a job that might not be a fit for me.
There was a lot of trouble with this company earlier this year - see archives -- Mediscript
How did you find out about them?
Read the archives. Hardly a day goes by that
someone asks info on a company that was just discussed the day before. There are other forums besides this one too where you can get info on companies. Post your resume on the various job boards. There are companies that do not post ads but hire from the resumes. My current position I was hired from my resume and I have been offered a couple of other positions from companies who contacted me from my resume who did not post ads.
I work for a good company and honestly they are not hiring. Other MTs do seem to get upset when people will not tell them what company they work for. I don't believe they are afraid of losing their job to someone else (at least for the most part I don't), but they don't want the company to overhire. There are many posts on the boards about people not having work for days on end because companies are overhiring.
All you have to do is read the archives.
Overall it seems that most MTs are very happy. BTW I am not a TT MT.
Read through the archives. There have
been posts about them just above every well. They are an Indian run company.
Read the archives. I did QA and did not like it.

Read the archives and then RUN.

Why not read the archives?
If you read through the archives you'll see not
much good about this company, especially from people who refused to listen to the issues that others had and went to work for them anyway. They offshore big time, constant turnover. I wouldn't consider it.
They were actually one of the companies I was looking at until I read the archives..it seems
they haven't changed at all with the negative responses this time around. Thanks for the warnings!
If you read the archives you should find what you are looking for, although
you won't find much good about them.
If you read the archives you won't find much
good about them. They switch you from account to account. They have had management problems for many years. Their line counting is difficult to figure out and they dock you for lots of things. They also offshore and are currently training women in Trinidad and somewhere else so you know what that means. Some of their accounts are teaching hospital and I worked on one of them and the dictation quality was horrendous. If you're a newbie I doubt they'd put you on it though.
There are worse companies out there, but I still wouldn't recommend TRS.
Read the archives. Someone else just asked about
them this week. They are not a good company.
Read the archives. Lots there, most of it not
good. Someone else asked about them this week so scroll through the board.
Read the archives. Someone asks about them
almost daily.
You must do a search and read OSI archives
read the archives. also, low work
times outside of the holidays is just plain poor staffing, which can be done so that everyone has enough and the work is kept up. It has been done. Problem is, getting people to do more when there is a slam. No incentives for it? they won't come through. company solution? overhire.
Plenty of bad if you read the archives, but the
fact that they offshore so much is enough to keep me away.
If you read the posts in the archives you
will run as fast as you can. They are not are reputable company and I'm not even sure they are a transcription company at all, but a front just to rob you blind. We call them TransScam.
There are multiple unresolved complaints with the BBB.
Read the archives. Doesn't pay much, you
pay expenses and get reimbursed.
Read the archives, lots of info there.
Read through the archives, horrible company.
The dictators are some of the worst ESLs, sound quality is horrific, the reports are so bad I had to basically retype them, flaky QA, management problems, etc.
Read the archives. Many posts, none good. nm
Have read archives, but can any current TRS employees ... SM
share how it is there now, specifically whether the required line counts are doable and if they generally have good accounts - also about the benefits. Thanks!
I found Medgarde, but read in the archives...
that they don't pay for spaces and make you pay for their platform. Is this still the case?
I read in archives that pay is 65 char wo spaces, is that true?

AccuStat...any new info? I've read the archives that are a year old...

Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.
Precyse Solutions -- I've read the archives and I'm looking for updated ...
responses. Is there anybody here that's actually happy working for Precyse? Are most folks making decent money there?
Thanks.
Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
Opinions on Focus. Please. I read all archives. Please most recent info. Thanks. NM

Frequent turnover, offshore big time. Read the archives, lots of info on them. nm
I just did tell you all the "bad stuff." If it's not enough, then
go ahead and work for them. The American MTs get the crap dictation for one. They just out of the blue fired a bunch of people, for no apparent reason.
I'm sorry but there are a bunch of companies out there that you could work for who do not offshore. If your skill level will only allow you to work for companies such as Focus, then you're not EVER going to make any money as an MT.
This isn't just about you needing work. It's about all American MTs needing work and a decent wage and not getting it because companies like Focus offshore! When MTs like you settle and take jobs with companies that offshore, you are hurting us all.
It is difficult to classify an account as "bad"
I used to transcribe for an urban hospital in a large city. I could make almost $40 an hour on H&Ps and loved the account. Another experienced MT on the same account thought it was hideous and couldn't understand why I liked it. The account I transcribe now can be pretty tough, but it is in a city near where I used to live so I like it.
When someone says they can/can't make money on an account, there may be nebulous factors that contribute to productivity. That being said, alas, sigh, I remember when I worked for a company that would give you as many accounts as you wanted (1-infinity) and if you hated an account you could get it deleted from your pool or exchanged for another. Those were the days . . .
No news is good news for me. I check my audited reports all the time
If I need to talk with one of them, I call or IM them. But, no, I have learned that if I am doing a good job, they leave you alone to do your work. They are not in any way a company that micromanages as long as you do what you are supposed to. If you give them a reason to think you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing, they will keep an eye out on your work, etc.
Comments from last year say they are "bad," hire only FT, might use Emdat software, and suppos

If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
I guess no news is good news! :-)
Thanks anyway!
If no news is good news why is a person

I agree - no news is good news - sm
They are busy making sure you have work and want you to stay productive and busy. What is there to talk about? I personally like being left alone to do my work. As long as you get a check and the work keeps flowing, just do your thing! 
Is this news should have been labeled NEWS ALERT ...
This is breathtaking information and everyone who works at TT or is considering has the right to know. It will be buried with a title like is this news? It seems as if you are responding to the first poster's complaint of no work.
READ THE ARCHIVES. There are volumes and volumes
about Keystrokes. All you have to do is scroll down the page a bit and you'll find several posts. You can also open your original post and click on related messages.
Mediscript
Any info on Mediscript, unsure where they are located, just took a test from them. Checked archives and found very little, any info would be appreciated.
mediscript
do not know which Mediscript, just took their test, and that is what it said at the top of the test. Anything about the company, is it a honest reputable company that treats his MTs good? I guess if you do not know which Mediscript, you will not be able to answer my question. Can you tell me this, it is a national?
Mediscript
I checked the archives and did not find any information that was helpful, what do you know or tell me how to find out.
Mediscript
They offered me 9 cents per gross line. They do not offer direct deposit, you invoice on the 15 and 30, unsure when you get paid, I think 20 days after you invoice. The platform is WP 7 or higher. I took their test, passed it, was hired, but was unable to get any help with start up. They sent me a packet of instructions and said to go for it. I am not computer savy, so this did not work for me, it might for you though. Gross line pay is the best in the business, I think it would be worth giving it a try. Just my opinion.
Mediscript
does anyone have any info on this company? The usual, paying on time, staff, enough work, etc. Thanks
