Anyone with info. on Diskriter??
Hello! This is my first time to post here on MTstars. I have accepted a position with Diskriter and should be receiving my equipment next week. I just found out about MTstars and I wish I would have found it before. I am currently employed elsewhere right now and need to make more money. I feel like I am typing my fingers to the bone for 8 hours or longer and at the end of my shift only end up with 750 lines, when I need at least 1500 lines per shift or more. I have been transcribing for about 3 years and the first job I had, I could hit 1500 lines, no problem, during my shift. The problem with my current job is that we run out of work (but get paid for standby). I love my insurance and need to keep it. I plan on working both jobs and have absolutley no idea if I will be able to keep up with my family and their activities. I am strongwilled and determined to make money in this business. Not to ramble on......
Thanks for your input. Your opinions are greatly appreciated!
Overwhelmed MT from Texas
Is Diskriter a good company?
I see many ads for Disriter, but relatively few people reading the ad as opposed to the other MTSO posters. Why is this? Anyone work for them? Are they an affilitate of the Q?
Does anyone work for Diskriter - if so, can you help me out with my question on the Company board
thanks
There is no info unfortunately on this company
I will be sure to post the name of the company, however, if my money doesn't get here!
If a company gave out my IM info SM
to people they have working on the same account I am for me to help them, I'd stop working for that company. I work for myself, my rate is for typing the company's work only, not for assisting another transcriptionist. The only way I'd do that is if I subbed work to another Transcriptionist myself.
Need Info on Company - TranscribeATL
I searched the archives for info (good? bad? etc.) on this company but can find nothing. Anyone know? Are they good to work for? Platform good? Pay on time? TIA
Looking for info on Execuscribe on company board

you might find more info through the company board here.
or did you try that? I'm not awake, tring to help, tho.
Info on Documed typing platform -- not company
I have been hired with company that uses the Doc-U-Med typing platform, and I was wondering if anyone can give me feedback on how well they like it and is it easy to get you line counts. Some platforms are so clumsy and slow that no matter the ease of the dictators, you cannot get line counts because of the platform, so I am asking for feedback. Thanks
try a search on company board-lots of info there

Anyone out there working as a hospital employee for Diskriter? There is an ad on MTJobs for a hospital in Florida. Any info appreciated. 
Diskriter
Hello! I gave them 2 weeks worth of work, and they did not send out the checks on time. I got my check 1-1/2 weeks late - and then only because I complained until they sent it via UPS. I can't work for free, or afford to get paid late, so I quit. I would test for ProScript if they are hiring currently - they are a GREAT company to work for : )
Diskriter
I was working for the hospital itself, but through Diskriter - I was just really upset because I didn't get paid on time - that is really important!
Diskriter
Laura, I just tested for this company and was hired, but had to defer due to unexpected health problems with my mom. I told them I would be calling them back in about 3-5 weeks. I am skeptical now?? They appeared to be a great company? Did you only work for them 2 weeks?? Curious for more information.
Thanks
Diskriter
Hello. Well, I didn't mean to make you nervous, but that really upset me that they did not pay on time. The lady that hired me said it was due to some error with getting the paperwork in - in their defense I will say that maybe it doesn't happen all the time, as she said, and that was a one time thing. At any rate, I chose not to take the chance that it might happen again; so, yes, I only worked for them for 2 weeks. Maybe someone that worked for them longer could tell you if that ever happens to them. There are a few companies out there that do not pay on time - I just wasn't willing to take the chance on them since it happened with my very first check. I sure hope it works out for you! Let me know if I can help.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am glad I took the time to read this message board. I just applied at Diskriter, tested and was offered a job. She said they had 5 positions open, now I know why. Does not sound like a company I want to work for. On another note, your complaints about putting D.O. instead of M.D. is really important. The doctor has worked hard for that title, we were told to make sure you have it RIGHT!
Diskriter
Does anyone know how Diskriter is to work for? I have an interview with them tomorrow?
Diskriter?
Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!
We're way behind! Hurry up!
So you sign in to help out and you're out of work in 20 minutes.
Someone majorly needs to switch to decaf.

I worked for Diskriter for 4-1/2 years. I do not remember having a background check done. In fact, in the years that I have worked remotely, none of my references have been called, (I have asked my references). Things may have changed......
Diskriter
Can anyone tell me about Diskriter? I'm considering applying with them. I have 20+ years experience as a MT and looking for a company that has a Transcriptionist friendly working platform and great pay. Getting a little tired of working extra hours just to make a decent paycheck due to lack of work and a poor transcribing platform. Thanks !!
Diskriter
Not a user friendly platform at all. I worked for them for about 2 weeks and called it quits!! I had to copy/paste demo information, ran out of work all the time, etc. It might be different for each account, but the one that I had was terrible. I asked for additional accounts, which they tell you, you will have a secondary account, but I did not get one. Good luck!! I work for JLG and love their platform. They just recently stopped direct deposit and the checks are mailed now, which is the only complaint that I have.
Diskriter
Thanks for the ino - guess I'll just stay where I am !
try quitting and going to Diskriter - sm
they are hiring, and they have lots of work. I should know, because I've been working weekends and extra hours!
Diskriter is notorious for that - sm
They told me to work the weekend one time because they were "soooo behind and the client was getting angry." I woke up at 5 a.m. on a Saturday morning and sat until 8:30 and waited and waited and waited. Finally a report came up. I worked until 12:30 p.m. and couldn't stand it anymore. I made a whopping $12.00.
Diskriter needs weekend help sm
They just started allowing PT weekend only as an option. Their platform is easy to use. Line rate isn't to bad either because you get more for if you are hired as a weekend only MT.
Diskriter needs help all around - they need transcriptionists for
all shifts, and are finally getting desperate enough to hire PT
I believe Diskriter in Pittsburgh did this..nm

Diskriter questions
Anyone who works for Diskriter. How flexible are they with schedules? I am asking because I work full-time inhouse right now and work every third weekend. On that weekend I get Friday off or another day if I need it. How flexible are they with their part-time hours? I want to get as much information about this as I can before I get myself into something that is not good. I have never worked from home before other than on cassettes and am still getting used to all the lingo for at home transcription. Please anyone with good intentions only. I am doing this as a second job and really want to make sure it works out. 
Work you working for Diskriter

Diskriter needs weekend coverage - nm
no msg
MT week - did anyone employed with Diskriter get
anything for MT week??? Just curious - I didn't, but I see that they gave out an American Express gift cheque.
Hmm. Might you be a Diskriter recruiter or are you thinking
s
Only hospitals and Diskriter do actual sm
background checks where this information would turn up. They also ask on their applications.
I have never been asked when applying for a service. If the question is not asked, then there must not be a prohibition on felons.
Diskriter pays to have equipment returned to them - sm
They call UPS and have it picked up and UPS has the stickers already for you
Diskriter only hires FULL TIME - sorry
no message
Honest opinions on Diskriter needed please - sm
ESLs are no big deal to me. I am working right now but I have been running out of work every day now for over two months. Time to consider a change.
I have checked the archives but nothing more recent than November 2005 is coming up.
No flames please, just honest opinions.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you MT Stars and Diskriter just rec'd $50 American Express (sm)
 MT Stars and Diskriter for making MT week so much fun. I received my American Express $50 gift cheque in the mail today from Diskriter. This gift is truly appreciated, thanks again!
Was this Diskriter? They asked for pix, too, for hospital position. n/m

received equipment new to diskriter and to chartscript
I just received my pc and extras from Diskriter yesterday, after a lengthy wait, really ready to get going; however, they also sent a complex Chartscript book and I've never used this platform before. Anyone have any quick notes they can share or can you let me know if it is difficult to learn. Thank you in advance.
Diskriter fired a bunch of MTs. check these boards
nm
I'm in the same boat trying to test for Diskriter. Any words of wisdom about getting
nm
maybe Phillie got smart by getting rid of Diskriter and paying REAL transcriptionists what they are

demographic info is not the only info ...sm
protected by HIPAA, as we all know. I saw that ad too and was surprised to see it. Any identifying info is considered Protected Health Information, including diagnoses, tests, etc. This MTSO should have known better than to ask for that.
What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t
.
The company cutting cpl, the company stopping paying for headers
:{
Good of the company? As IC, I am my own company. Not my problem if she has problems as long as I do
:P
Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.
