Check out the new MT boards
little or no experience. It might help you decide. I don't like to discourage anyone, but it does take a lot more than just "fast typing". You have to have thick skin as well. You have to be very, very independent, which probably leads to the cut-throat attitudes some (not all) have in this profession. Some of us have been stabbed in the back so many times, we need the MEDS to dull the pain. Please do not take this profession lightly as we do not look at it as simply babysitting/no daycare, extra money. There are a lot of hardworking MT's here with a lot of knowledge. We are willing to help one another. One day if you get into this field, way, way, way down the road, you'll know where people are coming from. Good luck in your endeavors! 
Lots of MTs don't check boards for
info on companies or they are willing to take any job, regardless of all the bad. A lot of them turn to offshoring.
Check out the New MT boards for the top programs &
s
check all boards, some have tech advice, some don't. NM

I am sorry. I meant boards not broads. Now those darn boards have disappeared again.
:
but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
Diskriter
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
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
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

Diskriter Company info
Didn't see this post. Hope it's not up twice! Anyone know any recent info on Diskriter? Thinking about taking a position with this company but not sure about it. Thanks for any help!
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.
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?
Anybody been fired from an mt job?

You won't get fired for this.
Relax! Accidents happen to everybody, especially when training on something new. All you need to do is send an e-mail briefly explaining you had 2 technical problems and providing job numbers or whatever you know about them. Then say, "Very sorry!"
It sounds like you are doing fine.
(And I'm supposedly the mean one). @@
Won't be fired.
Why continue doing something that isn't making money. Why take a paycut? I will not take a paycut. I am paid little as it is. If I take a cut in pay, might as well go work at the local Wal-Mart. JMO.
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

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.
I'm sure it would come as a relief to be fired.
What an ego! Hasta la vista, baby!
And get fired? LOL You first, Satan. LOL

Just fired a doctor
I just fired one of my doctors and I feel so much better! I'm an IC and this office has been a royal pain! Very late payments, constantly losing reports and blaming me for not transcribing them, never letting me know when they'd be off (wasting my gas and time), getting behind on dictating and then wanting 5+ days of dictation back in twelve hours, etc. The final straw was when they started making me go in the waiting room and stand at the sign-in window behind all their patients to drop off work. Of course, if they were on the phone, I'd have to wait even longer when I reached the window... at times up to twenty minutes before the receptionist would open the window and take the work. I decided my other offices appreciate me too much to allow that one office to treat me like a second class citizen. To top it off -- what did the wife say when I fired him? "You can't do that -- you need the money." Too bad for her, because their money isn't worth my self-respect!
Fired a doctor
I am proud of you.
to just fired a doctor, way to go!
Reading your post sort or reminded me of those new DHL commercials on customer service (or the lack of).
When I worked in office, our old fashioned German boss would never have allowed anyone to wait..if he was running 30 minutes late, we moved every body back 45...those were the good ol days.
Well I Just Got fired so it does not matter !!!!
Back to the office for me thank god I had a plan B !!!!
Fired from one and moved to another
What is the point
No, but I've fired quite a few.
x
In my state you can be fired
for absolutely no reason, probably works the same as hiring. Like in my original post, I passed and told lose 20 lbs- I did not get out of sorts- I felt their loss and went on really to much better things- the telephone companies started laying off right and left so it was a blessing probably in disguise. There was no disgusing for me- literally told that- where in your case it seems like assuming on your part this is what they are thinking.
