blame your ISP and don't seem to care. It takes over 30 sec to load a document - WAY too slow when you are typing 200 minutes a day! Bayscribe is by far one of the best I've ever worked on.

why is Med-Scribe being slow to pay?
they pay you for doing the work?? I don't understand why they won't pay just like regular payroll.
Nothing terribly bad to say, but -- sm
they have their problems and outpoints, just like every other company.
Despite the fact that a lot of MTs will divulge their pay rates, I won't, as [like most of us] I'm contractually obligated to NOT divulge such info (it's just that most people ignore that and post away anonymously anyway). Suffice it so say they're pretty average.
Nice people (in general), though a bit disorganized and not very good at communicating.
Their platform -- actually, they have two, both of which are proprietary.
The percentage of ESLs (and bad dictators, in general) will vary with the account. I have some horribly bad ones on my account, not so much due to accent but they're the whispering kind, which is even harder to do, IMO.
Be aware that they're prone to be low on work from time to time.
It really won't take too terribly long.
Work on your normals. If you haven't used Shorthand before, look for the tips on the message board. Utilize all the samples they provide from the community web page, and absolutely utilize the see last 50 reports by dictator feature. You'll be whizzing along in no time.
Then I must be doing something terribly wrong
/
They seem to be terribly disorganized, trying to
change procedures, added new staff, adding lots of new accounts and I guess they are just overloaded. I would definitely recommend a phone call. Usually after that things get rolling.
Terribly unorganized is just the beginning with them
They take your lines from, send rude e-mails daily, never answer your questions, and have about 90% ESL. Too bad you took the job as I would recommend you go elsewhere.
Mine slowed down terribly, too, only I couldn't uninstall it.
I finally did disk cleanup and put all my pix and what not on a jump drive and it's running at a tolerable speed but not like it was.
Has anyone ever noticed how DQS picks up noise terribly in the background. Doesnt make my life any
easier trying to hear the dictator.
Depends on the account. Work on VR lately has been slow. Just like all companies, we have slow times
Honestly though, I have only had 2-3 times in the past 2 years where it was like the other day...no work... It did pick up later but I just think it's important not to make someone think we're overloaded with work all the time. That would not be fair to them if they end up with high expectations.
No - it is not always slow! Depends on the company and hospital. I have never been slow this time
Slow time is usually in September when everyone is back to work/school from the summer months.
Been doing this 24 years and never slow this time of year. Actually, I am drowning in work - can't keep up.
E-Scribe
Does anyone know how much E-scribe pays per line? I am thinking of applying with them. What is a good rate to type for? I was told 8 cpl (65 characters w/spaces) was a good rate. Does anyone pay less or more than that? Is 7 cpl too little?
Able Scribe
I applied for a job a few months ago and it turned out they didn't even have the account, but then MT companies aren't exactly known for their integrity.
Med-Scribe in FL? SM
I was wondering if anyone could give me recent information about this company. The only information I could find in archives was 2 or more years old. Anyone currently working there, I would really appreciate some input regarding pay, dictators, benefits, etc. TIA 
RE: Scribe Right
Great company! But only IC status-no benefits, which works great for me as DH as the benefits. Pay always on time. Very happy with them.
Med-Scribe - FL
I have read past posts that have me a bit scared about getting paid if I accept a position with them, but these posts are over a year old. Have things improved in that respect? Any new news on this? Please reply. Thanks!
Med-Scribe
I have applied with Med-Scribe and am wondering if I can get some feedback from other MTs. I searched the archives, and all the messages were more than 2 years old. I am really, really hoping things have improved since they were posted! I really need to get off the IC and get some insurance. I would love to hear from any current or recent employees. Thanks!
Med-Scribe
There is not a lot of info on this company except for really old posts. Can anyone tell me generally whether they enjoy working for Med-Scribe, how is the pay, how is the work flow and what platform do they use?
Doc-U-Scribe
Medquist and DSG. DSG is hiring.
it is Doc-Q-scribe....

med-scribe
does anyone know how much med-scribe pays? Thank you!
Med-Scribe
I have just been offered a position with Med-Scribe out of Florida for an ER account (which is what I wanted). Are they a good place to work for, pay on time, pay for spaces, treat employees well, etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
What about Med-Scribe or D&L?

Med-Scribe in NJ
Anyone with current information on this company. Lots of older stuff found but unable to tell if they are about this one or the one in Florida. Interested in the NJ Med-Scribe only. TIA.
SCRIBE
Has anyone worked on the SCRIBE platform? Seems to be not MT friendly with too much mousing..... ??????
Currently using scribe (sm)
and you do have to use the mouse more so than other platforms I have used. There are some shortcut keys but you have to mouse after entering patient info to start typing the report, which can be annoying. Personally it is my least favorite platform I have used so far, but then again I find it very slow to load between reports as well.
scribe
Is this one in KY or is it another company?
Med-Scribe
Any current or recent Med-Scribers out there? Curious about the Med-Scribe with ad on board (not sure if Florida or not) - wondered how they are to work for? Pay on time? Decent to work for? All info appreciated!
Med-Scribe
I filled out an online application this morning witih Med-scribe and I had time to walk into the kitchen and get a cup of coffee and they called me offering me a job to start to work next week. Apparently you did not have enough experience in whatever specialty they were needing at the time. Could not have been nicer on the phone. So, nice it is a little scary that is why I got on here to see if anybody had anything to say about Med-Scribe before I tell them for sure whether I am going to accept their offer or not. It could have something to do with I have 30 years experience transcribing also.
MED-SCRIBE JAX
The recruiter offered me a job....led me on...and then did not return my calls promptly....didn't like they way they did business....
Med-Scribe
Can someone tell me if Med-Scribe is mostly straight typing or SR? Thanks in advance!
Med-Scribe
I don't believe they provide equipment. If you visit their website, it will tell you more. Also, check the archives. Good luck!
Med-Scribe
Med-Scribe Florida out of work daily for entire pay period, cannot meet production. I have asked for fourth backup account but no definite yes given. Anyone else notice this ongoing problem over the last year?
Med-Scribe
I am interested in applying to Med-Scribe. I was wondering if there are any current employees or former employees who could tell me their experience good or bad. I currently work for Spheris but I plan on looking at other companies.
Thanks in advance,
Not Scribe
FWIW- MD-IT now uses a proprietary platform. It looks like they are growing quite a bit. From their website it looks like they are really trying to preserve the industry. A former collegue of mine works for them (now) in Seattle- was Pro-Scribe, now MD-IT.
Medscribe or Med-Scribe sm
Has anyone heard of Medscribe or Med-scribe? They both have jobs on MT daily, and I was just wondering if anybody worked for them or knew anything about them?
Thanks!
Anyone familiar with EZ-Scribe? (sm)
Any comments welcome!
Express Scribe
Does anybody know if earphones can be used with Express Scribe? I can't find any information about this anywhere. Thanks.
Med-Scribe of Georgia?
Any info, good or bad? TIA!
EXPRESS SCRIBE
had the same problem when I got my new computer. Easiest way is to take it from desktop, and you can drag it into escribe.
Info on Med-Scribe in FL?
I just tested with them and I can't seem to find any info on the boards. Any info would be great. Thanks!
It is funny to run into someone from Med-Scribe here.
You know they never disclose the other MTs to you, so the only Karen I know is in Accounting. I would love to make the switch to acute care, but the feedback is so limited on how the accounts are to do, and I am not in a place where I can take a pay cut if I would end up in a tough account.
Speaking of, did you take the CPL cut to go from IC to employee or were you hired on as an employee? Have you heard anything about the new benefit package? I am also thinking of changing to employee status so I would love some information on that, but the ones in the know are out of the office again.
Anyone work for Med-Scribe
Good or bad please. Just changed companies and hate it time to shift and go elsewhere again  Really getting tired of the promises these companies make and don't follow through... Any help greatly appreciated
Probably Med-Scribe in Florida. They always have an ad up. nm

Scribe - reply
I worked on it for a very short time because I hated it. Almost any other platform is better than Scribe.
Anyone know anything about Med-Scribe in Utah?
TIA
Med-scribe.com Test
How do you know what your score is, besides a recruiter calling you to let you know you passed? 
Can anybody let me know the process?
Do you have Express Scribe......

Trans-Scribe MTs
I saw a job posting for this company but have never heard of them. If there are any MTs that work for this company, would you please let me know how you like it there? There's nothing when I do a search on this site. Thanks! :)
If anybody's heard of this company or has a history with them, can you post a reply? I'm wondering how new it is because their website doesn't work yet.
Med-Scribe out of New Jersey --
I'm thinking of responding to an ad from them.
Anybody know anything about True Scribe? nm
