They do not provide equipment but do offer a discount purchase plan through Dell computers as an employee benefit. They always, always pay on time, and I have even been paid a day early if payday happens to fall on a weekend or a holiday, though not always. As far as work availability, there are times of low work volume, just as with any other MTSO. Holidays, of which you are required to work some, have low work volume which is to be expected. Hope this answers your questions about SoftScript!

I have worked for SoftScript for 5 years. They pay on time, have plenty of work, do not provide own equipment, although you can get a nominal discount through Dell. The HR staff is comprised of idiots and the QA department is very picky and audit monthly.
a company by the name of dtsok (Digital Transcription in Oklahoma). If so, what do you think of the platform they use? It is called SpeechMotion (supposed to be similar to Chartnet). I just started working there and now I wonder how an MT can produce enough lines to make it worth her while. It seems rather involved and lots of steps to go through to complete a report. Am I wrong? Should I stick with it before I am really familiar with this platform or should I ...
I am not familiar with EKG readings. It sounds like the physician is stating the patient has "deep and lateral" ST depressions. Does "deep and lateral" sound right? ...
I'm trying to learn it...no training provided by company. What does "previous notes" mean. I thought I knew but now not sure. I have tons of questions but I guess I will learn as I go.
Thank you. ...
Anyone familiar with M*Modal? I was able to complete part of their testing and still working on the dictation part of the test. Figured I better check them out before I go to all the trouble of completing the test. I think I saw they were related to Medquist, but not sure. Medquist is not all that anymore, at least that is what I have heard. Any help would be appreciated. I am in trouble of losing my current job due to EMR. Thanks. ...
Those of you who are familiar with Bayscribe, did you find:
The spell check dictionary is void of many common words? It also does not detect uncapped words at the beginning of sentences or spacing issues.
The word expander locks up for periods of time so cannot create new expansions.
It has horrible quirks that cause expansions not to work correctly (they just don't expand) , capital letters show up in the middle of sentences and do not cap where they are supposed to, and extra ...
I may have a job offer from a company that utilizes EMDAT software. I am not familiar with it at all. It seems that it does not use a foot pedal, which seems odd to me. Any input on EMDAT would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! ...
Anyone familiar with Escription that can tell me how they determine production when typing both Escription (edited lines) and traditional transcription (standard lines)? I mean I know what my line counts are for each but how do they figure them together to determine where my productivity really is? Thanks for any help with this! ...
Wow, new technology being introduced, and used to justify a hike in costs to consumers - right, it's gonna cost the customer. "Smart meters."
Sounds like voice recognition techology being introduced, and used to justify a drop in pay to workers - right, the technology COSTS the worker, rather than benefits us.
Here's what the COURT had to say about Detroit Edison's evidence - just substitute in "50 percent productivity gains" - right, if that's not "aspira ...
I have a new job using FutureNet. This isn't the company, it's a platform. I would love to know if there are any keystroke shortcuts since I seem to be using the mouse a lot. For example, short cuts for spellcheck, speeding up/slowing down dictation, or raising or lowering volume? Thanks in advance! ...
