I worked there a few months back and their pay was average, around what other companies are offering, but certainly nothing to write home about. Their transcription system is a DocQScribe clone with M-Modal as their speech engine. At least 90% to 95% of their work was ASR (mine was 100% ASR). They have many of the same policies and procedures as MedQuist (NJA, ticket numbers, etc). They offshore quite a lot of their work to India. On weekends and holidays, all of their American team leads and management were off, so all of your contact at those times was generally with their India personnel. I don't know what their work load is like now, but when I was there, there were only a few times that I ran out of work. I worked at nights though, so that may have had something to do with it. From the emails that I saw, the day shift people were running out of work and being asked to "flex" their time pretty often. Hope this helps.
Warning! Warning! - It used to be good

but getting worse all the time. Everything you said is true and more. They wonder why employees don't refer to this company. Well, here's my referral - by all means, go to Precyse if you want to lose money.
I lost money with Precyse too - thats why I left

It was extremely (and I do mean extremely!) hard for me to get any kind of decent line count at Precyse and I literally starting going broke while I was there. I'm sorry to hear it hasn't changed for you.
I worked for them a while back ago... - j

They required you to use one of their (cr@ppy cheap computers)more clutter in my small office. Then they stuck me on an account which consisted of 1 very very very bad dictator (an old Iranian or something) who did all of the account's discharge summaries. I shipped their mess back in a week.
Precyse did a bait and switch with me - anon

I was hired on for a new account that was straight typing. But within in a month after starting to work for them, the entire account was sent over to their India MTs. Then they put me on accounts that were all ASR after that.
Some folks are getting letters - from Dept of Labor
I haven't gotten a letter, but I guess it doesn't surprise me - ex-Precyse

I haven't gotten any letters from the DOL, but I figured that Precyse was probably going to end up being investigated some day.
During the time that I was there, I had quite a lot of unpaid time. They expected me to be on the system and typing for my entire 8 hour shift. So that meant things like reading all the daily work emails, filling out my time card, emailing managers, etc, had to be done on my own time. So I basically ended up starting about a half hour early every day, to get that stuff out of the way, so then they wouldn't give me any grief for not being logged into the system and typing for my entire shift.
I was also a 3rd shift MT, but was required to attend mandatory daytime phone meetings and training sessions and whatnot, usually held in the mornings or early afternoons, in addition to working my full 8 hour shift later that same day. And I never did get any overtime pay when I was required to do that.
Then there were other things like when I had to take their online HIPAA training. I think we were told to put 1/2 hour down on our time cards for it, except it took me a little over an hour to complete it, so I really only got paid for half of it.
Anyway, I know I wasn't the only one going through things like this with them, so it sounds like someone there might have finally got fed up with it and probably reported it to the DOL.
Aw that is so sad to hear - I'm waiting for the recruiter to call me now. - MT2020

Was hoping this would be my out from the evil Q. Doesn't sound very likely from what I'm hearing here. Is there any great company to work for out there anymore? I mean, hell, I might as well stay where I am.
A lot of Q management - has gone to Precyse.

Remember that recuiters have no clue what's really going on and will say anything to hire you. Be prepared for anything crappy because it's likely to come down the pike. Good times ended a long time ago.
Can anyone tell me if Precyse still has Precyse University for training. I went to work for them a few years ago and quit because I was only doing 1-2 hours a day for a couple weeks going through the University and waiting for things to be approved in order to move on and was not making any money, got fed up and quit. I would like to reapply but do not want to if they still do Precyse University training. ...
Have any of you or someone you know worked for Precyse? Any information appreciated, good or bad. If you or someone you know has worked for them, how do they compare to MModal? Is it possible to make enough money with them to live? Am quickly fading here, I need to find other employment. Am at the end of my rope in every possible way. ...
I tried to apply for an MT job with Precyse last night, but was given a message that they aren't "hiring in my area." Has anybody else run into this? I figure any area in the US is good since most of us work from home, am I wrong? I do live in Alaska, but last time I checked we were still part of the country. Just curious. Thanks. ...
For MT Week last week we got Sonic Rocks which are testicle-shaped shiny black magnets. HR just sent around a warning that they're very strong magnets and to not keep them anywhere near the computer or anything that stores info magnetically because people are accidentally erasing their hard drives with these stupid things. Wonder how many new computers that's gonna cost... ...
I work at Precyse and it seems things have been strange lately and I was wondering if any of my fellow slaves know what's happening there. For example, all of a sudden lots of work for many weeks now (previously was having NJA all the time), so much work that we're way out of TAT with a lot of accounts, yet I see no place where Precyse is advertising jobs for MTs, including their own web site. Also, the sudden firing of a number of QA people and a few lower to middle management p ...
Does anyone know the cpl rate for Precyse? Do you work on all straight transcription or both straight and VR? What platform do they use? I was thinking of taking the test but don't want to waste my time if the rate is too low. Is the test difficult? Would appreciate any info you may have regarding this company. Thank you. ...
Hi everyone I would like to know if anyone works for or has worked for Precyse and if so, if they are a good company to work for. I have tried to look through old posts and I cant find any. thanks for any input you may be able to give me. ...
Looking for some MTs who work for Precyse. I have not seen any threads about this company. Would like to know the good, bad and ugly. Possible hospital transcription being outsourced to them.... Thank you. ...
I was just wondering what is happening at Precyse. I left Precyse last month after they sent my fourth account over to India, and there was no work. Management kept telling us to be patient and just use PTO, but we had not really had any work for months and had already used up most of the PTO. They blamed the no work situation on the bad weather during the winter.
I am at a new company now, and they seem to appreciate me, which Precyse did not. My team leader ...
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all the stunts these guyz have pulled over the past who-knows-how-many-months...I just saw a job posting for them on a site I'm not sure if I can name here :/ and I don't wanna get in trouble for breaking any rules. Seriously...advertising for more help after you fired SEVERAL QAs and with how much work their sending over to India...you're gonna hire MORE MTs?!?!?!?!?!?! Guess maybe they're looking for some "fresh blood" to dupe ...
I would appreciate any information on this company: How much they pay, if pay is on time, are there tons of acount specs, do they leave you alone to do your work or hover over you, platform(s) ease of use, etc. (I know it is mostly VR.)
Thanks! ...
Anyone with anything GOOD to say about Precyse? Please, everyone can't be unhappy there, can they? Will be be gobbled up by M Modal or Nuance? How big are they? ...
Does Precyse have a quota, must you produce a certain number of lines per day? I'm looking for part-time work. If there is a certain expectation, what happens if you fall below it? I'm thinking I would like to try Precyse but those are my main concerns. ...
Any Precyse MTs having trouble meeting the 96% production time expectation? How are you managing to do it? Work off the clock? Thanks. HR is supporting this push. It was 35 hours on a 40 hour week, then 37.5 now 38.5. thanks... ...
Thinking about switching to Precyse, can somebody share the good and bad so I don't just think "the pasture is always greener...... .especially in the hard times of a drought"..... Or is it??
...
I got a call from Precyse. Can you tell me if they offer bonuses and if they offer 4 cpl for voice, what kind of rates do they offer? do you get much straight transcription? Thank you. ...
So for the past couple of months, I have had the recruiter from Precyse contacting me asking if I am interested in a position with them (this most recent contact she asked if I was still interested) to which I always reply yes I am. I need a job badly! This is like the fourth time she has asked and never gets back with me. Should I consider myself lucky she never gets back with me? I just do not understand it. ...
