Anyone here went from MQ to Softscript? - I B Poor


Posted: Dec 01, 2010

I've been with MQ forever but just can't stand it anymore with all their changes and micromanaging.  I'm considering Softscript, but don't know anything about their platform.  Anyone here quit MQ to work at Softscript?

I worked for Spheris, then they were bought out by MQ. I quit after they started changing things around and cut the voice recognition pay in half. Went to SoftScripts and so far love it. I have been there 3 months. Their training takes an hour, not 5 days, and their programs are easy to adapt to. I have run out of work around the holidays, but that has to be expected. I think you will like it. They require 98 for QA. Sometimes I think they are too picky, but I have managed.

Glad you're happy at SoftScript, enjoy it while it lasts. Don't worry, the "honeymoon" will be over soon and you'll start seeing their true colors. Not trying to trash them, just been there, done that.

I really enjoyed SS's QA system and intranet helps. sm - IBMTS

But at least on the account I was on, there was no platform; you just downloaded free stuff off the net to work with.

They are very picky, and though I was scoring well in their QA, I could not make money with them, so I left.

IC For Softscript?
Feb 27, 2010

Has anyone ever been an IC for softscript?  I ask because I read the complaints that employees had, that they had to make up sick time and they're not at all flexible with scheduling.  Being an IC would seem to solve that problem.  Also, what sort of line count do they expect? ...

I have noticed a significant decline in my line count with Softscript ever since their blooper that happened on MT week.  I dont really understand how that has affected my line count so much but I used to type 23 jobs and get about 1000 lines.  Now I type 23 jobs on the same accounts and get 700 lines.  Something is wrong with this picture.  I am looking for another job, I just feel like I'm wasting my time. ...


What's With SoftScript?
Aug 16, 2012

I noticed that every now and then that SoftScript advertises on the MT Job board for a pathology transcriptionist.  I tried applying for that job once, but they said that they wanted "recent" experience and the last time I did pathology was in 2001.  And yet, they keep advertising for that position.  What's up with them?  Can't they hold on to any help?  On the surface, it looks like they have a high turn-over rate with that position.  Am I missing somethi ...

Are There Any Softscript QAs Out There?
Jan 22, 2013

I've not been working for SS very long and have been doing QA for them. I was wondering if anyone who reads this board is a QA, or has been a QA, for SS and, if so, do they audit you? How strict are the audits? What happens if you don't make the score? I have a friend who used to work for SS a couple years ago and she said that she quit because the audits were "nitpicky." I'm just wondering if I need to be concerned about that at all. TIA for the info. ...

SOFTSCRIPT AT IT AGAIN!
Feb 14, 2015

SoftScript has bait and switch listings up again.  Please take a minute and read over recent posts regarding SoftScript's techniques to employ MTs.  How many mentors and Q coordinators can they really need?  They post these fictitious positions, hire as many people as they can for these positions, and a few days after being hired, no one will be the "right fit."  At that point, all these people will then be asked to leave or stay on as an MT.  PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR ...


Seriously SoftScript???
Mar 14, 2015

Oh my goodness!  I cannot believe SoftScript is still running their bait and switch scam.  They have posted jobs for trainers, mentors, Q coordinators, and managers at least a dozen times in the past month.  Once again, this is just a sham to get MTs!  Please don't fall victim to their deceitful misleading job postings.  I did, as well as several other people I have been in contact with.  We were all hired for one of these positions, and within a few days of st ...

Softscript Mismanagement
Oct 11, 2009

Sounds very possible that SS will go the way of TRS and MDI.  The posts below sound eerily similar to the TRS and MDI sagas.  If I were a betting man, I’d wager that, like TRS and MDI, the company will fail/sell out and be absorbed by a bigger one.  Bob and Dorothy walked off with millions, and it would not be the least bit surprising if SS executives did too.   Out of work with SoftScript - confused Posted: Oct 8th, 2009 - 9:17 pm I find it funny how SoftScript is ...

Softscript Any Info?

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 ...
