Seascript or INFO ON PAGE RATES. TIA
Also, anyone heard of Seascript or have any experience with them? TIA
They are paying per page for surgery center work. I have searched on this site for information on page rates. Not very current info. If anyone could offer their experience with page rates, especially for surgery center work, as a subcontractor.
Seascript - Any info at all? TIA
Trying to find any information on this company, but I have never heard of it before. Does anyone out there have any info on this company? I would appreciate any help you could offer. Tx.
Just look down the page. There's plenty of info.

here is the link to company info page
http://www.synthescribe.com/company.html
No info about the company, but there is an ad on the second page of Job Seeker's board. nm

There is SO much info...read this board and do searches on each page.
o
Search with Google box on this page. Much, much negative info
s
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
What is going on with Seascript.....
All I can say is good luck to anyone trying to apply there. This same person was posting ad weeks and weeks ago and kept saying her e-mail was down, her servers went back, everything crashed. The work was ASAP needed immediately, but she didn't have anything up and going, kept e-mailing, repeating all the problems over and over. Gave new e-mail address and when I tried contacting that one, wouldn't get a reply for days, and then she would repeat the same stuff over and over. Even today, she has given another e-mail address, stating upgrade services problems. That same stuff was going on way back early April. The work was supposed to be immediate hire but I found out there was nothing ready at all, just blowing smoke for days.
The test she had was 11 pages or more long. Ridiculous for someone with over 20 years experience. Give me a test file and then decide. Finally got a contract sent over but it was stuff thrown in there I have never seen in a contract,,,,,,so IC beware!!! Saw that and said, forget it. This was early April mind you.
Anyone that unorganized, who takes days to get back with you, makes me wonder about getting your paycheck.
SeaScript - RUN!
Where do I start about this company. I tested and was hired, did a little work for her and Dianna was so unreliable - she will have a million excuses why there is no work all of a sudden. I think what happens is she gets behind and then gets caught up, leaves the new hire in a lurch, saying that she has had to redo the templates over and over and over and over. Read her post, she says she had 26 surgeries - people, come on. I'm telling you, you are in for it if you work for this lady. Sorry to be so negative, but I saw her post and I had to act to save you the frustration and hassle. Your hint will be just by talking to her on the phone - I should have followed by instincts and not accepted the position.

Seascript.............
Been there, done that..... her rambling e-mails are so confusing it's ridiculous. She'll get you started (well at least you'll try to get started) and then you'll be left sitting until she gets going the next day and ONLY if she isn't doing stats, which seems to be all the time....
MOVE ON....... and find real work.
Seascript - anyone get returned e-mail
xx
not from Seascript but get that same type of thing from another company. Then
they called me twice asking me to send in paperwork which I couldn't send because their e-mail kept rejecting it. Glad I moved on.
Not at all. Worked for the NJ company. Used to pay by the page or partial page. Don't know about

Some comments on page 2 of this board, middle of the page. nm

there is a thread further down this page or possibly the next page
I transcribed for Compuscribe years ago. Had no problems, just low pay but no problems.
Go to the bottom of the page and click on a page
number to get the most recent archives and then can do Ctrl F and do a search for WebMedX. I wouldn't call them a small national.
Page 2, scroll down towards the middle of the page, NM

Some WMX posts on page 4 here near the top of the page. nm
s
I don't see that on their web page
nm
Take a look at the next page (sm)
Maybe the people aren't still there, but they're experiences weren't good. Companies don't change that radically. If there are problems like that, it's because of major philosophical problems in the company. If after reading those posts you'd still want to pursue testing with them, well, all I can say is good luck. I'm sure we'll be hearing from you later.
Pay by the page
Is this good or bad? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pay?
Pay by the page
Thank you. It's $2.50 per pay page on a sliding scale. I do not really understand it and that's why I do not really know what questions to ask. Thanks for the input.
per page
To me it there are too many variables to quote a per page rate, font size, margins, etc. You can have anywhere from 50 to 66 lines for full page depending on margins and font, so at .012 per line, that is quite a difference. Also what do you do for 20 or 30 lines, as they could both be half a page? That is just my opinion though. Could work in your favor and could not. If they use a small Arial 10 font, takes a lot more lines to fill up a page than Courier 12.
I Get $2.75 per page
I type for an insurance company doing claim tapes and I charge by the page. It works out well for me. I type in Tahoma 10. Even if a page is just one line long I get paid the full rate.
i see it a little further down on this page

Pay by the page
How on earth do you charge by the page? I have never been paid by the page but only by the line. Luckily, I found the job through the local paper and they will let me work from home (only 5 minutes away). There is a big psychiatric hospital down there street. Thanks for all of your help. I about gave up on transcription.
Pay by the page
I meant there is a big psychiatric hospital down the street from where I live and they usually charge by the page, but I have never charged by the page, but only by the line. Any suggestions?
by the page
The margins per page are 3 inch on the top and 3 inch left margin. Does that make a difference do you think?
Look down the page a little.....
Keystrokes is really popular right now. 
you are all over this page
with negative comments about a lot of companies. Probably not a very good idea to let this recruiter know who you are by e-mailing straight from this site. Just a helpful hint.
pay by page
Does anyone work for a transcription company that pays by the page instead of cents per line? If so, could you please email me. Thanks.
Yep and now it's a whole page +2.
z
On what page are they? If they are there, I will
x
Further down this page, 1/3 way?, you
will find a message from the recruiter, Carlotta Buckley, with that signature.
I, along with others, have elabored myself on MDI, which is probably on next page now.
It is a great company that will do everything they can to take care of the MT. They have a positive QA team, etc. Personally i think they are the best company around.
Same page
I only wish more people would get on the page with us. I fail to see how some people can stick their head so far in the sand.
No I'm not QA and I think we are on the same page. sm
My original post was in regards to Bayou MT's comment that we are not paid to look up doctor's names, unfamiliar names, terminology, etc.
P.S. I've run into the same QA types. The absolute worse was one from YOG. She actually called me on the phone and put me down.
at the top of the page --sm
there is a Google search bar. just beneath that are two buttons, . web and . MT stars. make sure the button by mt stars is checked and then type in the name of the company in question and click the search button beside it. that should bring up new and old postings about the company.
$1.00 a page?
You MUST be kidding! What an insult!
$1.00 per page
Yes, I thought it was very low, too. And she pointed out that you make the $1.00 page if you are very good. I thought that was hilarious. It was like she meant to convey that only the very top transcriptionists could ever hope to attain that job with such an exhorbitant amount of money as $1.00 per page! I had to hang up quickly before I laughed out loud! No hard feelings with them, though, and I wasn't all that insulted. I wish them well. They just don't have clue about how to hire quality transcriptionists and pay them well. Of course, that problem is a common one in this industry, but they just seem to have even less of a clue than most companies about paying us properly for quality work.

look down the page
look down the page, much ado about something....
nm
There's no such thing on the web page

pay by page vs line
Hmmm...I work by line and I pull in over $4000 per month. I'd hardly call that no money.
Don't you have to go to NJ to train? And pay was only 1.75 per page. nm
s
Paid by the page, HUH! You will be
YOU HAVE TO BEG FOR YOUR PAYCHECK TO BE MAILED!!!!
By the page is great
Listen, I have done work both ways. By the page, you cannot get cheated. I have been cheated by line counters. I got $2.50, $2.75 and $3.00 a page. I would not go below $2.50, but you will make money this way. It's awesome! I congratulate you.
per page/per line
I know of MTs that charge $2 per page and make good money but I would question if you are cheating yourself especially with a report that is very long. This may benefit a MT who is typing a lot of short reports. I would prefer being paid per line when transcribing lengthy reports just for the fact that you are paid for every single character and space. But, I would prefer being paid per page when transcribing many short reports because of the time its take to enter in patient information in each report, which slows down productivity. So, base your decision on what you are transcribing and other factors.
If you go to the bottom of any page
there will be page # at the bottom. If on page 1 click on page 2 to see the newest of the posts that have scrolled off. You can then do a Ctl F to do a search. I don't know how sensitive the search is, by I've seen it Cymed and CyMed.
Just scroll down the page
There have been plenty of recent posts on this company. Also, look on page 2, 3, etc...
