Anybody currently working for SoftScript?
Could anybody currently working for SoftScript please give some information about company? Thanks.
Anyone working for Allegiant or SoftScript? How are they? sm
I just got hired by both of them and don't know which one to take or if I should live on coffee until I work for both and decide! javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Is anyone currently working for SoftScript at the present time. MTs used to comment on
the sound with this company. Has this improved and what are they like to work for with their accounts. I know they are always hiring.
Transcend versus SoftScript
I have job offers from both Transcend and Softscript, and have no idea which one would be better to work for. Anybody got any information that could help me decide?
Working for Webmedx
Webmedx drove me crazy. I worked on 5 different accounts at the same time, each with different formats, rules, dictators, etc. I made less than minimum wage trying to learn these and having to stop and look things up. The people are nice to deal with, but then they should be if you are almost working for free.
Working for Webmedx
Wonder if anyone out there works for Webmedx. If you know anything about this company out of Pennsylvania, good, bad, in between, please let me know.
Thanks,
csmr-mt
Anyone working for Webmedx?
If you currently work for Webmedx, would you please reply to me. Would like to ask you a couple of questions.
Currently working for Transcend, luv it

I love working at Webmedx.
I have only been there for a month now, but I absolutely love it. I used to work for a local hospital and wasn't sure how it would be to go somewhere else, but I am absolutely loving it. The pay is great (actually make more now than I did working at the local hospital for the last 3 years), benefits are pretty close to the cheapest in the business (at least for family coverage), and in the month I have been there, I have had OT approved twice and only ran out of work 2 times (for only an hour each time) right at the beginning(was hired for a new account).
Come on somebody, thinking about working for Transcend ?? nm

Frustration working at Transcend.
Anybody out there still employed with Transcend, who is frustrated right now???? Well, I am for sure. Seems no matter how hard you try or how much effort you put into correcting the errors in report, they still complain about quality. Maybe it is this way everywhere, I don't know. I am just really frustrated, especially because their pay is pretty bad. Only 4 cpl for editing jobs. I spent all day doing editing jobs and I figure I made about $40 that day. Wow, then I can plan on making about #200 a week or so. I have tried so hard to stay the course and keep hoping things will get better, but so far they are not.
Anybody out there want to add a comment.
Frustration working at Transcend
It is a shame to see such a great place to work become so bad. It was fantastic 3 years ago but since VR has taken over the employees are dropping like flies. They are going to be left with very few employees - is anyone left there? Would the last person out please shut the door!
Frustration working at Transcend, same here
I am in the same boat as you. I have been working for them for almost 2 years and was promise a pie in the sky salary when I started. I haven't even been offered a raise yet. I get very discouraged because I work as hard as I can and even work extra on my days off. I wish they had a mentoring program to help others learn how to make the $900 per pay period that they require for you to be a full-time employee. From what I have read in the labor laws production workers are suppose to get paid the difference to make up for what they are not making, as far as minimum wage goes.
I have been working for Transcend for about 3 months.
They paid me an hourly rate for the training phone call, then straight production. I was only allowed to do 5 reports a day. I stayed on QA for about 2 weeks. Some of the posters on this board claim that they did not have to wait that long.
They do pay on time. I do run out of work quite a bit during my shift, however, on weekends it picks up quite a bit.
Working for WebMedX is a good choice
From the companies available to work for, I would say this is one of the better. They have really decent benefits, the pay is good, they don't hassle you. Feedback/QA is great. I have to say they are one of my favorites that I have worked for and they are very fair to the employees. (Another good company is Phoenix).
Now working for Webmedx and concerned about townhall mtg. (sm)
After surviving for years of MQ taking away benefits, pay, etc.and finally getting out of that I landed with a company I was enjoying. I keep telling myself this is not MQ all over again, but then I see negative posts about outcome of town hall meetings in the past that make me nervous.
I am putting on my blinders and hoping for the best. If I hear bad news at the call I won't pass out immediately, I will remember it is April Fool's Day and hope any bad news is just a joke.
I know the entire MT industry is changing and I just hope I am able to change with it until retirement.
Wish us all luck.
Transcend and Webmedx. nm

Transcend or Webmedx?
Both seem similar in many ways, but for those of you who may have worked for both at one point (if anyone?), could you please respond? I have to choose... offers from both. Thanks.
Transcend or Webmedx
Got offered a job at both and would like some input from others out there as to which is the better place. Thanks in advance!!!!!
transcend or webmedx
read the archives - these questions keep coming up and there are tons of info on here.
Very intelligent response. If she was not working for Transcend, she would
not be their recruiter.
Any tips on how to survive working at Transcend?
I just got sold to them and my friend has given me a lot of words of warning. Anybody have any suggestions on survival?
Transcend,Spheris,MDI-Fl, Webmedx have nothing on MQ. sm
MQ platform rulesssssssssss
Webmedx, Axolotl, maybe Transcend. nm
.
Anyone wonder why Transcend is always hiring and recruiting? Also Webmedx? Do they sm
have trouble keeping people?
Spheris is #2 and other biggies are Transcend, Webmedx, SPi

Anyone currently working Webmedx/Transhealth radiology would care to share info on them - sm
Are all of the dictators ESL as in the test on the website? If you sign on as a radiology MT are you still allowed a 12-hour window. Has workload been fairly consistent? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I took the test and would like some info before I am contacted. TIA.
I've worked for many nationals i.e. Webmedx, MDI-FL, Transcend, etc. and
I like Medquist the best.
If recent history (WebMedx, MQ, Acusis, Transcend) is
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
What is Webmedx FL? Webmedx itself is located in Pittsburgh & Atlanta. nm
.
Transcend bought MDI, so if Transcend sends work offshore, so does MDI. nm
nm
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
then doesn't that make MDI a company that offshores? That's like saying that one branch of a company offshores but another does not, so they are excluded from the offshore label. If MDI-FL is part of Transcend and Transcend offshores, that means that they do.
RE: If MDI-FL is owned by Transcend and Transcend admittingly offshores, sm
Your hypothesis is incorrect. MDI is a wholly independent subsidary of Transcend, therefore, they were not a part of the experiment to offshore to evaluate cost/benefit ratio that Transcend only tried for 90 days (I believe the evaluation process is not still ongoing).
Webmedx ad apply at Webmedx or Transhealth ? (sm)
Apply to one address if you need equipment, another if you want to use your own? Does this mean they are still acting as 2 separate companies? Can anyone explain this?
Webmedx?? Why do you say Webmedx is foreign??

WHAT IS UP WITH SOFTSCRIPT
Okay, pay late CONSTANTLY. ABSOLUTELY no communication from anyONE. What the heck is going on. I am RUNING while I still can, QA SUCKS. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS OR JUST ME A NEWBIE?
Softscript
I also worked for Softscript awhile back but never had a problem with the paychecks, they were maybe a day or two late here and there. I just got tired of being on different accounts. I think one should have one account and get fluent on that with the same docs. It is more productive for both the MT and the company!!  But I am EXTREMELY happy where I am at now, which is Keystrokes!!!! THAT COMPANY ROCKS!!! Woooo Hooooo
Softscript did it to.
Twice in 1 year and got away with it SO far.
SoftScript
 Unless you have worked for all of the nationals out there, how could you possibly know that SoftScript is the worst? Perhaps in your experience it was the worst. How many nationals have you worked for?
Anytime a company changes the way they count lines, complaints end up on this board regarding that company. As far as stealing lines....I would imagine they changed the way they count their lines and this is not okay with you. By all means, you have a right to feel that way.
I have worked for SoftScript and as with every company, there are problems but I have also had a lot of positives come from working with SoftScript. I have been doing transcription for 25 years and in my own personal experience, they are no where near "the worst" to work for.
SoftScript
Anyone been recruited by SoftScript? They hounded me to take the test, which I did, saying that they were in dire need of transcriptionists because of all the work generated by Katrina. I tested, was notified that I passed and then never heard another word from them. I have been emailing but to no avail. :-(
QA for SoftScript?
I've read the messages here, both good and bad, about SoftScript, but has anybody done QA for them and if so, what was that experience like?
softscript
sorry that was MT
softscript
sorry that was MT
SoftScript QA
Can anyone enlighten me on this company? Considering applying for QA position.
Softscript
Please Email if you are now SoftScript MT and would care to share with me how you like the company. I am considering employment with them. Thanks.
Softscript
Can anyone tell me what type of benefits they offer. I cannot seem to get an answer. I am a single mom of 3 children and desperately need benefits. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
softscript
they pay about 0.085 cpl (at least for 3 yrs experience). lots of ESL and junk american-speaking doctors. lots of editors which could be a good thing (or not) (reports are corrected one way by one Editor and another way by another editor) causing reports not be consistent
