I can't afford to stay with VR. If they paid more, I'd stay.
The situation sucks. I really liked this company when I started there. I know they read these forums, and they are aware that we are unhappy over VR line rates. They stroke us with cute emails and say we're the best, but I can't feed my family on praise. They're turning into another MedQuist, and so I'll be leaving.
ScribeRight
Wonderful lady to work for! You won't be sorry.
scriberight
there was a posting about 3 weeks ago on someone asking the same thing. about 2 responses came back positive about the company being great with a great boss, but dont remember other specifics like insurance, etc.

You need to type at least 800 lines a day plus 1000 lines on Saturday (they are strict about this) and submit a schedule and stick to it pretty tightly. If you can do that, I think it is a pretty good company. Not sure on benefits--dont' think there are any--IC status.

Any recent information on ScribeRight Transcription?
ScribeRight
  Can anyone tell me anything about this company? Do you like it there? What platform do they use? Do they pay on time?
ScribeRight
The owner is very controlling, very picky, and often very nasty. Do a search on this forum by splitting the word into scribe right and you get more hits.
ScribeRight
Lisa is a wonderful person to work for. She is very honest, always pays on time. She has high standards, but she is fair.
ScribeRight
I worked with them last year, and quite frankly, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone! Granted, I learned a lot, but the owner and QAs attitudes really stink! It's mandatory you work Saturday's. The pay isn't what it should be for what you have to put up with....sorry. 
ScribeRight
My contact with ScribeRight was limited;I didn't get past the contract phase, and my friend found that their line counts were way below what she got with her line-counting software.
So, my advice: Don't even try to make any changes to the contract. That sends L into a real tailspin. Be sure to use your own line counting software and compare it to what the company is determining the line count to be.

One more company (sigh) ScribeRight?
Well, I have been looking and looking. I have interviews scheduled with Transcend and also Softscript. I did research here on the boards about Softscript, and didn't like much of what I heard.
I also had a very nice woman from the boards here contact me and offer to refer me on to her company, and gave me numbers for contacts there.
So...today I was contacted by Scriberight. They seemed very nice and the testing was quite easy.
Anyone know anything about them? I'm sorry to keep posting these, but I have had to change jobs twice in the past two years due to lack of work, unstable companies, bad pay, etc....I would just like to stay put for a while and I value your opinions.
Thanks!

ScribeRight Transcription out of Washington...any info on this company?

Stay low and stay very, very quiet. Do not
ask questions, do not talk to the supervisors unless forced to. The answer will always be the same, that you are the only one who has an issue, everything else is perfect. Never mention anyone's name. This place has the mentality of the Borg, everyone has been assimilated, which means if your supervisor does not like you, or does not like your friend, you have no chance. You associate with so and so, so you are exactly like them. That quickly goes through the Borg network and every team lead, ROM, and person in management, including HR, is aware of it. You'll be labeled a trouble maker and your life will not be worth living. Any trial to clear your name will be done in the fashion of the trial of witches. You are in a dunking chair - if you drown you are innocent but it is too late by then.
Remember, a ROM never makes a mistake and never tells something that isn't true. They are perfect (and nastier than a pack of hiennas.)
If you run out of work, it is your fault. You are just lazy. Can't make enough to take care of your family? Too bad, you need to work harder.
And forget getting an answer from management. It doesn't
happen. So, as before, stay low and very quiet.
And do a good job? You can be assured that if you do a good job, do what you are supposed to do, and stay quiet, no one will even recognize your name. They have no idea where you work, what your schedule is, or that you even belong to Transcend.
Stay away from
Stay away from OSI then...
Will promise you the world, but then it crumbles beneath you!
Stay away . . . stay far away! (sm)
Not only do they offshore (& offer you the opportunity to earn pennies editing the accounts you worked so hard to develop normals for, etc), but they're one of the companies that docks your lines for the ENTIRE report if you make an error that the client complains about. TRS does that, too.
Make certain about the pay dates -- the employee handbook said they pay the Friday following the end of the pay period on Saturday (i.e., 6 days), but the pay schedule I received showed they make you wait 13-15 days after the end of the pay period.
Were you offered transcription or SR? I've heard good things about the Dictaphone platform they use, but the general opinion seems to be the SR part doesn't work. They offered me 8.5 to transcribe (to start) but 3.5 for SR.
Also do make certain to factor in the several hours you'll spend in uncompensated time printing out all their documents and downloading all the stuff from their FTP site. They don't supply equipment because the recruiter said that 25-50% of the units arrived damaged. Strange -- other companies don't seem to have that problem. I spent 9 years with ddi --> MQ, had probably 5 computers sent out in all that time with nary a problem.
In conclusion, make absolutely certain what you're agreeing to. Personally I find the huge corporations unpleasant to work for -- why should I transcribe to pay layer upon layer of executives, vice presidents of this and that, etc.?
stay away
they have had problems with pay and work load. I had to find a new job.
I will stay and see if I can do it
depending on the requirements of part-time and as long as I can have flexibility to make my schedule when I want it!
I'd stay away...
I was recently offered a job with them, it was for a QA position, allegedly, but then it turned out to be editing on a voice recognition account. I accepted and started getting set up with downloading software, I'd email with a problem and not get a response for days, if I got a response at all, then I'd discover that the guy was responding to me via Yahoo Messenger, not email, even though I haven't been logged on to Yahoo for a week and he didn't bother to tell me that I could expect any communication from him to come via Yahoo. I'm not particularly impressed with the level of professionalism displayed by these people.
Pay is pretty low, I think they start out their entry level transcriptionists at some ridiculously low rate, it was 2 or 3 cents/line, but I heard it's gone up to like 5. I was offered 7 cents/line for transcription and 3 cents/line for editing with five years' experience.
They claim to have a bonus/incentive program, but I asked for specifics and was completely ignored.
They require you to work three days doing five jobs a day at no pay as an "evaluation period."
They were going to sell me a foot pedal at a discount, I sent them a check, and the guy claimed that he'd send it as soon as their shipment arrived and I'd receive it in two business days, but a week and two days after this shipment allegedly was arriving, I still hadn't received it. No email informing me of why, when it would come, etc.
Apparently there were some issues in the past with paychecks bouncing, which I hear has been fixed, but I don't know. I had an oogy feeling about them from the start, and I only accepted the offer as a "just in case" type thing, in case none of the other companies I'd applied to offered me a job.
Stay?
It's been slow but due to them overhiring. I'm still new at this so when the work slowed down I freaked. Do you have any idea what months are the slowest?
I would stay put- sm
If I were you, I would stay put. I was doing 250-300 lph at MQ, they have now adjusted my lines and am now doing 130-160 lph. No benies. You are actually doing pretty good and I make 10.25 cpl. I had one day I made $12.40 for one hour. I would stay put if I were you, at least you know the system and the doctors.
I'm still there, but trying to stay
Which isn't easy. QA program isn't exactly fair from a money standpoint as they don't give you any context from which to learn from the presumed errors in order to get to 100 percent. They only tell you the word you got wrong, no context, no copy of the report. There's no way to challenge or clarfy what QA says (I've tried). If there is an error that's in a macro or normal, you'd never know in order to change it. QA needs revamping, and QA rules your income potential. As they say on M-TV NEXT!
I would stay with MQ
x
definitely stay where you are at.
You have the best position right now. Working for nationals or otherwise at home is just bad nowadays. I would really like to be in-house and paid hourly, and I am keeping my ears and eyes open for a position. Take care.
Stay away
I worked full time for them and never had enough work. The pay is horrible and the VR is the WORST!!!!!!!!!! SO glad that I left!
almost all ESL and going to VR stay put nm
nm
stay away!!!
They are a horrbile company to be associated with in any way! They lie, they have horrible ethics and...I could go on and on!
Stay away!!!!
I worked for them a while back and they care more about the almighty dollar (quantity) rather than quality. They give you a primary account and then will take it away from you with no notice. They say they want everyone to be cross-trained, but how in the world are you supposed to make any money by switching accounts all the time?! Also, they have been known to cut your pay without notice too.
stay away.
They are moving to hourly.
Stay away from MQ
Seriously! I've worked for them in the past and they're the devil. Think about it, they have their OWN board on this site. I've worked for both.
So they need to stay w/ your co. x3 yrs.
Smart lady, wish I worked for you.
Stay away!!!
Please do not even consider working for this company. I noticed there are new names under the job placement ads. I have no clue if Mary Beth is still working there or not. I had a horrible experience with this company. It's not worth your time. You never get paid on time. They start you off at 4 cents per line while you are on QA. It took me almost 2 months to get my first pay check. Not worth your time. Heavy turnover. Look elsewhere quickly!!!!!!!
