I had asked this before but got no answer. From those at SoftScript is the sound - PAMT

on the dictating system any better now as people used to say the sound quality was very poor.

Sound quality - MT

SS requires you to use their own software which is designed to interface with the sound file systems used by their clients. Unfortunately for me, the accounts I work on have systems so outdated even the techs at SS admit how bad they are. The sound is terrible. I have a Boostaroo device and even that doesn't help. One of the accounts had skipping so bad reports were impossible to transcribe. That seems to be a bit better now only because the clients got sick of hearing the skipping when the reports were returned to them. It's really not SS's fault that their clients are too cheap to upgrade, but it doesn't make it any easier for the MTs.

Can Someone Answer PTO Questions?

I was acquired 1 yr ago.  I had 4 years service with previous company, and was told we brought that with us, so I assume now I have 5 years service, right?  At the time, there was a schedule of PTO hours earned per years of service, I think it was about 3 weeks if you had 5 years.  I do not see that anymore.  Does that mean everyone only earns 4.62 hours of PTO per pay period no matter how long they have been employed? Also, regarding the "time off without pay."  If I h ...
