Unorganized, feast or famine work, rude people, AND
Their new accounts are unpleasant to work on to say the least. They are no different than a lot of the other companies now.
Seem very unorganized - no tech help - software not very good

Seems to be good and bad in the archives. Rude & running out of work to very professional, great

I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Posts from 2/2006 said they were running out of work. They use MTWorld software. nm

Contact from 1/07 said their proprietary software was clunky&slow, and that running out of

some people can't help but be rude..
I don't really appreciate being described as promoting hocus pocus...I was just describing - very poorly I know - what happens to me and I know alot of others who use dictaphone...that the computer you are typing on can sometimes be overwhelmed by dictaphone and vpn and it will intermittently slow down - and you will experience a lag in your typing - which was what I was trying to describe...maybe these are just older computers I don't know but you seem to have a real axe to grind..I was simply conveying my experience...maybe you need to get a life, or learn to handle your anger a little better, or better yet get back to work...this is my day off what's your excuse? I apologize I did not describe this adequately, but just because you haven't encountered something doesn't mean it doesn't exist..
No, not rude, some people will only or can only do ERs. I know of some that sm
don't want to do operative reports and such. I can see where they might be intimidating for a new transcriptionist. I was not trying nor was that a rude statement. Sorry you took it that way.
Ironic since the people running it really do SM
have connections with different companies. Just don't feel like knocking themselves out. I can understand that.
I had same airhead test me. Remember one question as is it halter monitor or Holter monitor?. I am not making that up. Pathetic.
Any KS people running out of work? (sm)
Just curious.....
Rude people but at least Talon is gone. nm
Look above, I corrected myself, how rude people are here.nm
nm
Also agree, but I think the rude QA people mentioned are gone. nm

Well, boo frickety hoo! So you encountered some rude people...
this is business baby, it's not your mama's house or church. Suck it up and do your job. Not everyone is nice. Not everyone wakes up in the morning and sings with the birds and whistles while they work.
So, I just accepted a position with MDI-FI. Are there really people running out of work?
I need to know. I turned down a job at a hospital to accept this job at MDI because the pay was better, but if you do not have work, then there is no money so I might have been better off taking the hospital job...
Thanks. In the older posts, it looks like people were running out of work a lot...SM
Is this still the case? These posts are mostly from 2005 and 2006, so they are really old. Are the flexible with scheduling? Do they pay on time and treat their MTs well? I just want to know before I even think about applying! Thanks!
I wasn't rude. All I said was that if I was trying to profit from recruiting people, I would
have left contact information. I didn't get called out and was never rude. How is stating FACTS rude? I'm also not offended because your logic makes no sense to me. I speak the truth. But it doesn't matter. If we have anything negative or positive to say about ANY company whatsoever, we're either recruiters or disgruntled ex-employees. I didn't get called out because there was nothing to call out on. Please, take your senseless accusations elsewhere. The board administrators know exactly who I am, so they can back me up when I say that I'm not a recruiter. I'm (GASP!) a happy employee FINALLY after ages of searching for the right company!!!!
I told you--these people weren't only extremely rude and mean..
But really dense!! I can't believe they keep posting and proving 'me' point. 
DSG - Really rude group of people, especially the acute care side.
Got tired of their snarky remarks and moved on. Make 25% more where I am now doing easier QA and really nice group of people. Good luck to you!
DSG - Rude people, ran out of work, shuffled around on multiple accounts!

true about the people being rude, not to mention, don't call you back. nm

Oh Good God. It's an ancient phrase that
was based on fact because that was how their culture was. They believed in trading for things, etc. That doesn't make it RACIST. This kind of overreacting to stuff like this is why when something really is racist, we aren't taken seriously about objecting to it.
Acusis/DRC people software change comments
For those who are using it: Is it better, worse, slower, faster, counts lines more in your favor or against? Pros and cons appreciated.
I found Bayscribe to be rather ancient and the spellchecker is outdated. nm

The rude rude rude post is TRUE
.
My only contact with them was rude. The front office person or whomever schedules interviews is rude
This was about a year ago but I set up an interview and either I was supposed to call them or they were to call me at a certain time but I totally spaced off the time change. The lady went off on me and told me that they had no interest in me because I couldn't call on time etc. Rude. There is no way I would ever work for someone like that.
Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm
nm
Just be rude..out and out rude so they have just cause to "fire" you.. haha..What a bunch of i
Who would want to work for incompetent people like that. Time to change your phone numbers. They are like bad stalkers.
I worked for them. Very unorganized and...
at one time they decided to not pay for any report with anything QA (and QA was a real joke) could call an account-specific error. There were hundreds of pages of account specifics. Even worse than that was that within the same account, there were doctor specifics...and hundreds of doctors! By the time you figured out who wanted what, you wasted a tremendous amount of time.
My QA person was not an MT - never had been. She had a BOS and maybe 2 Stedman's Word Books, but she knew it all. 
I do know they have more accounts than they used to, and the "Gerger" of Gerger-Moretti is gone, so maybe things have changed.
They are the most unorganized place ever. sm
had to send paperwork 4 times because they kept losing it. Crappy attitudes. Do not know how to treat people nice.
extremely unorganized and this
is after being offered a position three times by this company over the past few years and each time I have been turned off by how unorganized they are over there. I had the same experience this past week with them not getting back to me. Then they did and told me about two positions. I told her the one I was interested in but needed an answer about the ins. Then they called me back the next day but she forgot why I was even waiting for the call and then to top it off was told the position that I was interested was no longer available. This is the third experience with them. I don't have time to tell you about the first two. Incredible. I have a better job offer from TT (actually to return back to them on a better account) and Axolotl which I will decide on by tomorrow, and another from Transcend which I am turning down but Transcend is right on, very organized, answered all my questions, and told me what all she had available and I picked the one I wanted, no surprises and no being left hanging, immediately sent me the ins info by email before we even got off the phone! That is the way a company should be run as far as HR is concerned. The two that I am deciding on also are very efficient in answering ALL questions in a TIMELY MANNER and are organized. Debbie is great and Axolotl is very very nice and polite and immediately sent me the information I needed such as INSURANCE. I need to have questions answered before accepting a position. I will not go in blindly. I have a chronically sick daughter for crying out loud and some companies did not even have the decency to respond to me on ins. so they got nothing back from me. Oh and get this when I finally did get the ins. information from KS it was this!! http://www.geoaccess.com/phcs/po/ No information on nothing, just a provider look up and when you click on the home icon and travel your way through the website trying to find info there is nothing that states anything about what the coverage is!!
I will never apply for KS again. Three strikes and your'e out!!
very unorganized when I worked for them
When I worked for Inscribe last year, it was very unorganized...was hired and then it took them months to get me actually working. As soon as I got an account and started making money on it, they would pull me and put me on another account so I didn't make as much. I got pulled 3 times in about 2 1/2 weeks so I was not making any money. Also, yes, they do charge you for any mistakes that they have to fix. When they make a correction, they fax you a copy of the correction and when they did that, if they have trouble with their fax, that time is taken out of your pay. Ridiculous huh? Also, when I would go to get work, there was never any to pick up. When I inquired about this, I was told to sign on to another account and get work there but none of those accounts had work either. I would maybe get 1/2 work for the 4 hours shift I was scheduled. I still keep in contact with a woman that was one of the originals helping to get this company off the ground. She left because they were so disorganized. I quit after about 5 months of trying anything to get this to work. I went back to getting my own accounts and now am also in college for accounting. Definitely more money in that line of work!
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.
Unorganized, no communication, no work
for more comments regarding mdi-fl
Because instructor was going to be clocking out. Very unorganized

Yes. It is the most unorganized and chaotic mess I have ever seen. nm

Rude answer to a rude post. nm
nm
3 words, rude, rude, rude....sm
the owner sends out UGLY and NASTY emails to the MTs. The communication is just a disorganized mess and they hire you as an IC, but pretty much treats you like an employee. Emdat sucks and pretty much the accounts are not that great. VERY hard to get your lines in Emdat platform. They LOVE to FIRE....when in actuality.....(that is the term they use)...you cannot FIRE an IC, you can lock them out of the system and I guess that is firing, but those two words have always been a pet peeve of mine....hearing when MTs are fired as ICs....Just my opinion

DTS is not a good place to work. Very unorganized. sm
They have offices in Nashville and Carlsbad, I know. I was all hyped to work for them but it was such a disappointment. They kept losing my paperwork and were adamant about your hours worked. The recruiter was horrible, but now they have the former SPI recruiter, so who knows? The manager was ridiculous. Not far, very nasty tempered.
that my dear is what you call an unorganized MESS.sm
she did the same thing with a friend of mine....
Comments from last year said they were very unorganized and had payment issues. nm

I quit after 2 weeks. Unorganized, demanding, esp tech

Recent contact who was there said they were unorganized, paid low, & flooded you with paperwork.

Rude, rude posters
Hope you rude posters find a good fit for you. Don't run down OSi because some of us like them. No problems either and I have 10 years experience. No newbies here like you say. Love the accounts I'm on. Hope the complainers find a good home, but if not, they will be back and on another company's case.
It is so rude to call QA rude because YOU have
been stuck on QA hold for six months!! And the other poster above - if you are getting QA notes and they are including your supervisor, which you imply is not the norm, then YOU are the one responsible. It matters not if you've been an MT for 1 week or 30 years - if your skills are not up to par, they are not up to par. Many MTs get cleared from QA hold within hours or days at most - companies do NOT want to hold you up from producing, nor do they love to waste their $ on MTs on QA hold. You really need a reality check. And no, I am not rude! It is always, always the MTs lacking in skills who get pissed at QA - no form of feedback is acceptable to that type - even sealed with a kiss and a big bow! 
Rude! Recruiter was very rude to me.
She had an attitude right off the bat.
That is what I say too, don't tell me, show me. nm
No, this just goes to show yet another MT
Pay attention. The OP said she was promised a call on Monday and it is now Wednesday. I don't see where your comments are even close to what the OP is trying to put forth.
Another post a while back stated they received a canned text e-mail. How unprofessional is that? If they want to advertise, then they should respond to all applicants no matter what. Let's be grownups now! 
Sad, isn't it. Just goes to show that
ALL companies are out to pocket profit from MTs anymore. No longer is the watching out for their employees (and I'm talking about all companies, manufacturing, etc., not just TT), but GREED/PROFIT is the name of the game.
Mixing VR with standard transcribing is a process that really cuts the lines, at least in my case. I'm not as flexible as I once was. Different set of rules for straight and VR specifications.
It just goes to show ya...
These people have absolutely no idea what we do, the experience and technique required to do medical documentation/transcription and the superhuman auditory prowess required to translate some of these dictators. Oh we type, so we must be clerical. We I can tell you right now that secretaries make at least $15-20.00/hr now days.
$10.00/hr, please. What an insult. If this is the case to stay in business, I suggest everyone up the food chain cut their salaries by 50%.
You know if we were organized and every MT around the U.S. checked out for 24 hours, think of the havoc! They are soooo lucky that we are not, overseas outsourcing notwithstanding.
P.
250?!! Never heard of that. Most ads show 120-150 lph. nm
