I am busting my hump trying to learn SS (I am a newbie with some experience but under a year) and I also am an IC for Accustat, now I have to really work for hours on end to try to get a line count for SS and on my Accustat its a nice account where I can have a line count with normal speed and hardly any ESL's
So basically here is my problem should I keep working for SS ( i have had no problems with pay, of course I don't make much of a line count) or should I just do my Accustat account and quit SS
Did I forget to mention I also have a day job....lol (My hope is to just MT and make some money someday)
SS takes out taxes and IC does not so I going to just go with SS but reading all of these posts makes me think just do my IC job for awhile and stop working three jobs busting my but

Be wary of Accustat as well..that is if it is Accustat carolinas.

How soft is the touch, is it a muffled sound (microsoft used to make a very soft touch keyboard.
You can't buy it anymore and I hate the clacky ones. I think a really soft one sounds muffled when you hit the key. Thanks
Accustat Carolinas/ Accustat EMR
This company doesn't pay their MTs properly. Work at your own risk. See if they pay.
accustat
I have never heard of Cort Medical but I have been with AccuStat for 6 monhs now and I love it. The freedom they give is great and the pay is always on time. Tough choice. I would do both!!
AccuStat MT
AccuStat is indeed a great company....I have a LOT of people that will agree believe me...we have all been with them for a month to many years and we all love the company...maybe you were one of the fired ones..all the fired MTs write bad things...
ACCUSTAT EMR
Does anyone have info on this company (South Carolina).
Accustat
This company didn't pay me as well. I guess they pay a lot of MTs well yet miss payments on a lot of other MTs. I got another friend that they didn't pay as well.
Still with Accustat EMR?
Are you still with Accustat EMR? I am contemplating IC position with them.
I like Accustat Carolinas but some do not
Not everyone fits everywhere, I'm treated just fine,,, In my opinion they have different accounts and I think it depends what they put you on... I love my account
AccuStat is awesome!!
They not only have great accounts but they care about their MTs. I love them and I think you are crazy to go anywhere else!!!
Accustat LLC does anyone work for them
 Does anyone know if the pay if 1/2 each pay check of your total lines?
AccuStat has accounts that use this!
nm
AccuStat Wisconsin
Does anyone know if they have clinic work? TIA!
accustat emr (carolina)
they don't pay properly. aside from the cheap pay. you might just waste your time and money.
Accustat has been good to me
Another MT called me and told me that people were talking bad about Accustat. I am aware of MANY MTs that are very happy with this company. Good work equals good pay, on time, every time!! I recommend them to anyone!!
Transcript US, Spheris, AccuStat
Does anyone have any current information about Transcript USA, Spheris, or AccuSTAT of Wisconsin? I have13+ years and I'm looking to leave my current employer (six years at a national). My eyes are swimming trying to figure out the ins and outs of these companies.
 Thanks so much!!
AccuSTAT in Wisconsin. Great company, IC only. nm

AccuStat EMR/carolinas is a great company!!
AccuStat EMR/Carolinas is a great company!! I can give you names of over 30 MTs besides my own that get paid with no problems!! They do not pay if work is late or of por quality but that is told to us before we start. If you did not get paid, your work must have been bad!! They do pay and they do not lie. Amazing when people get so upset with a company for not being paid...is usually the MTs fault!! This blog doesn't show that though.
If it is Accustat Carolinas..Yes that's true..among the other not so good things.

I currently work for Accustat LLC but got an offer from Cort Medical
 Does anyone know or have any information about Cort Medical?
Soft
Some of the type that fit into your ears are really soft and squishy and pretty comfortable. I use some of those with good success. They had a bigger end that would rest outside the ear, but I got rid of that by cutting them in half (horizontally). Only about 1/3 of an inch is left.
Even amongst that type of plugs, some are squishier than others. You might have to try a couple to find ones you like.
They can get kind of grubby looking, but I just wash them with soap and water and give them a day or so to dry. Usually at least a few pair come in a package.
P.S. You could resort to the ole broomstick on the ceiling message. : )
AccuSTAT in Wisconsin is hiring for an ER account. See the Job Bank for specifics. IC position. NM

AccuStat of Wisc. uses Lanier, not sure how part time it is. Had a recent job posting here. Go

MDI Florida, Medical INK, AccuStat Carolinas, Proveras, Sten-Tel, Focus,
and I think that is all. Maybe someone else can list others - these are the ones I know.
Good luck.
Soft Script
You know I have only been with Soft Script for about a month and I am really beginning to wonder why they will not explain line counts and how they come up with them one day their website shows 138 lines for me and my line counter program shows 245 what is up with this? Anyone else out there feel the same? Or you ask a question and the The BIG HEAD WOMAN rips your face off.
Soft Script
When I first started 4 months ago with SS I thought it was great but now I am seeing the light shed on some of what people are talking about on this message board. I wish I had been a little more patient and research this company before accepting their offer, I may have missed out on a good job opportunity as I turned down another offer and went with SoftScript but I guess I will never know. If nothing else my experience with them has been a lessen well learned. PLEASE, look at the numbers, compare the number of people on this board that oppose to those that agree with SoftScript and it will tell you the real truth, the numbers do not lie and as far as the line counts go let me add this....I work for two companies. A small company I have been employed with for the past 7 years and SoftScript I have been employed with for the past 4 months. On the same day with the small company for approximately 4 hours work I transcribed 61 reports with 1200 lines very easily with minimal effort, with SoftScript (now remember this is on the same day) for approximately 8 hours, working as hard as I could I transcribed over 100 reports with under 900 lines. This tells me something is definitely wrong with the line counting. Needless to say I am turning in my notice to SoftScript and seeking new employment.
Soft belly (sm)
What I'm saying is the doc feels around for position sometimes and that's probably why he said soft. Contractions make it hard, oh, and also huge babies, like mine. Ouch!!
Soft abdomen
On abd. exam, they're checking the actual abdomen, not the uterus and whether it's contracting or not.
As in a non-gravid exam, the abdomen can be soft, rigid, with guarding, rebound, etc. They're looking for the abdominal signs, not the uterine signs.
So - your abdomen can be soft, and you could be in the middle of a whopper contraction!
Soft Script
Could you folks talk about Soft Script, good or not so good, as best you can. Thanks in advance.
soft talkers
Not meaning to be sexist, but the soft talkers are usually women, sometimes almost whispering like they are trying to be extra confidential or something. I can max out my volume but still strain to hear them.
Stay away from Soft Script...sm
I won't go into details, but if you do a search on this forum, you will find plenty of reasons and they are all true.
Hand-Eze and/or Soft Flex...probably
Get a soft neck collar and try
Roll up a towel and put it under your neck when you sleep for support. If you don't get a collar you can also use a rolled towel and pin it while you're working.
Neck pain is horrible. Good luck
The Best, Soft, Air-touch Keyboard Around

Because real estate is so soft right now, there are
a lot of home for sale and it's difficult to sell. I would not recommend selling by owner or going through a by owner agent. If the market was hot like it was before it wouldn't be a problem, but right now you need a bulldog real estate agent to represent you. As well, you'll probably want to consider offering some incentive to any third party agents. That's what I had to do. There are so many brand new housing developments out there and the incentives that are being offered are crazy. I had to be competitive because my house was not brand new, but had a ticket price that was about the same as a brand new house. I did sell, but I took about $15,000.00 less than what I had hoped for. The good news for me is that I don't have dual house payments anymore. Good luck!
Soft Flex forsure
I wear my SoftFlex gloves daily. I agree that after 15 minutes without them you can definitely tell a difference. I also have the Smart Glove- (had to dig them out of a drawer to make sure what the name was). To me they are just plain awkward. The bean-bag feeling is weird and feels like more of a strain on my wrists to type with, like my wrists are too elevated or something. Wore them once. My vote would be SoftFlex!
Soft-Flex gloves
Where does one find these wonderful gloves? I have tried everything and not much helps, certainly not splints. TIA
It's not muffled soft, but clicky-ish; however...
it still has a somewhat light touch, and my wrists aren't in pain anymore, which was a big thing with me.
does anyone else have a problem with Soft Scripts dictators....
I can't get anywhere on a line count, I cannot understand what they say
Are all MT jobs like this !!!!!!!!!!!
Great news for Soft Script
There are a few of us going to the labor board in reference to Soft Script and their stealing of lines. So far, we have a good case per the labor board. Anyone and everyone that is interested in possibly getting their back wages, contact your local labor board and help us get what we have earned.
One of my daughter's soft stuffed animals....
when she's not looking!! It's a soft little pink elephant, not scratchy at all.
I need a very soft touch keyboard. Any suggestions?
I bought an expensive (over $200) 3 piece comfort keyboard that you can position the sections anywhere you want. That feature is nice, but to me the pressure you need on the keys is too muHIS IS A for this particular model. This is the cause of most of my pain. Anyone know of a very light touch keyboard? TIA
Have you tried the wireless MS natural keyboard? Very soft!!

Keyboard with an extra soft touch?
I am dealing with repetitive stress injury and can only type about 1 hour a day. Does anyone have a brand name keyboard that has a particularly soft touch to it? I am hoping changing to a very gentle keyboard might get me another few hours per week.
Any Soft Script Employees invoice question?
I am new at soft script and wondering if anyone knows if I'm suppose to invoice or is it automatic???? Help anyone
Soft Script is a real piece of work
I don't know if any of you out there work for SS but I think it is a bunch of bull that they can make the decision that they will not pay if someone makes a mistake. EXCUSE ME I thought we were all human but obviously they in management think their **** don't stink. I am definitely looking because I do not believe my paycheck is right however their is no way of checking as they have it posted nowhere. THEY SUCK!

Soft tissue work with chiropractic care
Moving/manipulating the skeletal system without addressing muscle/tendons/ligaments is useless because the bones will misalign again if adhesions, etc. in muscles (from previous injuries, bad biomechanics, gravity's effects on our up-right postures,etc.) are not dealt with. I'm in my late 40's so I speak from experience. Muscles are often the culprits that pull bones out of proper alignment. Stretching muscles with adhesions is moot. Consider most of the time we are bending forward in our daily lives; psoas muscles get stronger but back muscles (S.I. ligaments) do not.
Soft-tissue work is essential. Chiropractic care alone doesn't complete the job, hence, need for repeated visits over months/years.
Hope this helps.
Soft-Flex and Handeze are 2 brfands of gloves
that MTs often use. I use SoftFlex. They are thin nylon with a bit of spandex. I got them for the little wrist cushions they have that protect the medial nerve when the heels of my hands started burning. They do protect the nerves and cured the burning, and I remember to wear them because they keep my hands warm. I love stuff that serves a dual purpose. :oD Oh, and I do have Raynaud's, so these gloves are good even for somebody with that problem.
We're getting lovely soft quiet snow now.
It's winding down now (2200 hours) here near Bangor, ME, but it was just so beautiful and soft--super fine and it looks like glitter when light hits it from flashlights or porch lights. It really is quite beautiful out there and not too awfully cold. No wind to speak of and everything is muffled quiet-like. Just beautiful and the animals are having an absolute blast playing in it!
