How are things at SoftScript now? Is there plenty of work now? sm - Curious MT


Posted: May 25, 2011

I thought about applying, but there seem to be a lot of negative posts, although there were some stating that the work was flowing again.  Any information is appreciated.

TIA.

They just recently sent me a test. I clicked on the link and - found 3 errors immediately.

I'm not interested in being tested by a company that can't even get their test questions right!

I don't know why I applied. Had read this a few months ago. Waste of my time.

I don't know about that but the recruiter thinks she is - a vampire in a haven! ROFL

I'm not kidding! About spewed my drink when I saw that!

That doesn't bother me. Wish they'd send me - a link to test.

Mostly happy - Vet MT

I've been with Softscript for 7 months. No voice recognition, good pay per line, plenty of work right now. Their insurance is high, and the HR department doesn't exactly come on warm and fuzzy--and that recruiter can come on downright thuggy (but ignore her--you'll only have to deal with her once). You are not micromanaged at all. I pretty much like my accounts, and except for occasional frustration with the HR department, I'm happy at Softscript--and I've worked a few of the MTSOs and quit within a week, also stayed with a couple a few years. Once hired on, I find my coworkers very nice, professional people but don't interact with them much. In any case, I could never figure out why this board bashes Softscript so much. I'm very glad I went ahead and gave them a try. If you have to work as an MT in this day and age, and you have a professional attitude, I don't think you can beat them, really.

I agree totally - Happy at SS

I am really enjoying doing traditional transcription again after several years of doing voice rec work. Lots of work, very easy platform.

Thuggy. How funny and very accurate. - nm

I did a little investigation today, and I have learned that SoftScript, LLC (emphasis on the LLC that they use after their company name) is not registered with the California Secretary of State as a corporation or a limited liability corporation or anything of the kind.  This company has always acted in a shady manner, but now I'm really starting to wonder about them.  The Secretary of State staff member I spoke with today said that their office doesn't investigate ...

Plenty Of Job Offers
Dec 01, 2010

So here is a blindly obvious question. With all of the job ads on this site, who is getting hired? Are they actually real jobs that are being posted by "real" people who actually need MT work done? Are any of you applying and getting these jobs. I have found that there is NEVER a shortage of MT jobs to apply for. There are ALWAYS ads on several sites soliciting the help of both experienced and newer MT's. As many MT's that are on this site I think I would here a few more success s ...


Plenty Of Work?
Sep 30, 2012

I will be starting second shift, Sunday through Thursday, with Nuance.  I have not given notice yet to the company that I am currently working for because I'm thinking of hanging onto them in case there is a shortage of work with Nuance.  Anybody else work this shift?  How is the workflow?  I've read a lot about people not being able to meet the full-time requirements to receive benefits because there simply is no work.  Is this true?  I'm a single mo ...


Plenty Of Work
Jan 26, 2013

Today I have had plenty of work without having to jump around all over the place.  I enjoy working at MModal.  They have been good to me and I have been fortunate to have supervisors who will work with me and I can work with them.  I feel very fortunate to have a job right now when so many others are out of work and cannot find them.  In the last 6 months, I have only had 1 day when there were no jobs available.  Within a couple of hours, my supervisor called and asked me to work on an acc ...

If You Want Plenty Of Work Try Focus
Feb 10, 2010

They have taken on a couple dozen new accounts this year. They are a huge company and use Escription and Dictaphone Extext. They are owned by Dictaphone so rest assured they will have work when other companies are running out. The team leads are in America now, not in India. I would rather work for them and know I will get my lines and get paid than to make zero on another job because I'm pouting about working for a company that sends work to India. Just a FYI. ...

OTI - "plenty Of Work Available."
Nov 09, 2013

Did y'all get the work status e-mail this morning? At the end it says, "as you can see, there is plenty of work available." How insulting. I have had no work for a very long time and this morning is no different. Who else doesn't have work this morning? Do ever wonder if work is being limited to those who have been there a long time and our CPL is higher than the new people they're hiring for those pathetic line rates? I think they want us long-timers to quit. ...

Offshoring, Things We Can Do.

First off, I am truly disgusted with our government for allowing offshoring to such a degree that it has taken most of our jobs away.  We have written and complained to no avail.  We do need to do some things on our own too.  I recently went shopping for my son's school supplies.  I read the labels to make sure things were made in America.  Ink pens:  The only ink pens I found made in America were Pilot pens, BIC were made in China.  I bought the Pilot pe ...
