Discussed extensively the last couple of weeks. Horrible, horrible place. Low pay and posts from the last couple of days saying NO WORK AGAIN.

I work with SoftScript, and yes work has been extremely, extremely slow lately - BUT so has the work at almost every other company posted on here - NOT JUST SOFTSCRIPT. Every company is going to have slow periods, unfortunately. I have had some problems with SoftScript however - I am in Canada and I have been having problems getting my pay cheques in a timely manner. No US employees have had this problem though, so could be an issue with where I live (although it hasn't been an issue until recently). Every company has had its downfalls and its benefits though. If you are in this career, you need to be in it for the good, the bad, and the ugly. Overall, I would score SoftScript as a 7/10.

My pay was actually pretty decent for them - 9 cents per line and 10 cents on Saturday and Sunday. With no VR, this would have been great, but with no work, this is horrible. There has been very low or no work since September. It is very frustrating when they keep posting ads to hire more MTs and I'm sitting with no work!

What does anybody know about a company called Softscript and what do they think -- I think Medical Transcriptionists are being ripped off. I have worked for 3 major transcription companies; and have watched my income steadily decline. I've been doing this work for 23 years and wish I knew how to do something else. With the new platforms it's close to impossible to get a good line count, you're paid less when you edit, and your QA'ed to death. The company I currently ...

Is anyone current working at Softscript that can tell me if they are a good company to work for? I have had enough with Nuance. If most of you haven't figured it out yet, we US employees are only working for Nuance to do their cleanup. The reason work is so slow is because of Dragon and India's cherrypicking. I now have 5 accounts compared to 1 or 2 a year ago with slow work still. ...

Just recently offered a position at SS. I was just going through the archives to see if there was any info on this company, but everything seems pretty old on here. Anyone working for them now that could give some advice? Good company/bad company? I read where communication is non-existant, but if that is the worst of it.. I can handle that. I have worked for M*Modal....so that is pretty much the bottom of the barrel! SS has GOT to be better than them! ...

This doctor is going way too fast. Even when we slow him down, he is going sooooo fast. Here is the sentence we have been stuck on! The patient ___ sedation to the right. The abdomen is prepped Beta and scrubbed Beta solution and draped in usual fashion. Same doctor, same dictation: The area was checked for hemostasis, closed with 3-0 Vicryl of the subcutaneous tissue and 4-0 Vicryl ___ skin and steri-strips. Please and thank you SO very much! ...

Lots of blanks today. Getting reports from an account I hate. Doctors aren't entering ADT information correctly. Doctors aren't caring a bit whether they are hard to understand or hear. Horrible ASR output. And 4 cents a line just isn't worth the extra effort, especially as my count is barely making minimum today because of the reasons above. My patience and tolerance is gone. I will be so glad when I am out of here! ...

I know you are just doing your job and that you too are being monitored and held to Nuisance's guidelines. I know it is nothing personal, but you have to understand it is only human nature when we see a post audit ding and see your name and a string of hateful words and thoughts spill forth. We are going to contest things like crazy and cuss like crazy. Nuisance has it set up this way and they are basically pitting MLS against QC/QA. Again, I know you are just doing ...

It contains some very interesting information and is well worth the read. Just for instance, approximately 35% of MT respondents reported earning $35K or above. and 23.8% report $0 to 20K. Home workers across the board reportedly made slightly more than facility workers. Worth noting is wage levels for coders and cancer registrars since our field may well evolve to include both coding and data abstraction duties, as well as the issue of credentialing. (BTW, my company, ...

Remember the email we got from Corporate waiving the 90-day wait period to apply for advancement of Tier III's to MME and allowing til April 30 to do it? With all the lay offs going on, anyone think a bigger axe will fall once May 1 rolls around and the Tier III's that did not do this will be let go? From the way things look with all the lay offs, maybe this is one way to hang onto our jobs. Thoughts anyone? ...
