I'm confused. SoftScript is hiring editors but they say they don't - do VR or outsourcing. What are the editors for? nm

Hi There! Just curious if there are any SoftScript editing staff out here. I seem to be struggling a lot with making any money since beginning there. I seem to be getting a lot of training review reports with a lot of blanks and/or acct spec errors, incorrect templates, etc. I also end up running out of work a lot and have to type. Not here for negativity just thought maybe someone has some suggestions of how I can increase my productivity from those who have been there longer and maybe tel ...

They only hire for 2nd shift and that is to do the leftover, picked-through work from 1st shift. There is no way to make good money going this, though they give you a month to get up to 135 lph, which at 8.5 cpl is a whopping 11.48/hour. During training, on the 2nd evening of work, this is how I got treated, getting the worst of the work. I do not get any job satisfaction in doing others' leftover work; it makes me feel li ...

Are you kidding me, with Softscript still advertising for hiring. I HAVE HAD NO WORK FOR ALMOST A MONTH. This is ridiculous. I cannot believe they have no respect for their loyal employees and are still hiring when there is no work. ...

Seems like everyone complains of running out of work on a regular basis. If so, then why are they hiring again. Any info anyone can give me and what is the pay like? CPL, on time? How do they deal with being flexible? As an employee I know you have a schedule, but do they micromanage you? ...

Am I the only one working up to 10+ accounts and still running out of work? SoftScript is advertising they are hiring 100+ MTs and stating they have "WORK WORK AND MORE WORK AVAILABLE." So, if that's the case, then why can't they keep those of us already working for them in work? ...

SoftScript hiring for straight transcription with $600/$1200 sign on bonuses. Does anyone work for them that can give me some info.? What does trans pay? Do you run out of work, how many lines to you do a day, would need 1200 at least myself at 7 or 8 cents to pay the bills. Please give me ANY info. you can. Thanks! ...

The day we suddenly ran out of work in early February was when another MTSO got the account. For my fellow MTs who are suffering from no work from that account, you can go to TTS, who is still hiring for it. Line rate for employees .01 cent less than TT but they pay headers, which TT did not. You can make the same (.01 cent more if you decide to be an IC rather than employee). I hope this info can help some who need the work and no longer have it. Doubt IMEDX will ever g ...

This is my yearly ode to all of you during MT WEEK, and I want to again express my humble opinion. For just a few minutes, please put aside your depression and anger at your profession and just take a deep breath and listen to what I have to say. I am truly awed by what you all do. What other profession would you have to be a medical terminology specialist, pharmacology specialist, English language expert, AND a computer/software expert all in one? There is no other pr ...

What is the current pay range for editors? ...

How much do editors of regualr transcriptionists make. Not VR. The ones that check the MT's work? ...

Since VR, do companies still hire "editors" or QA to review/fix the reports done by MT on the VR? If so, what is salary like. Is it hourly/by line and production? How is the job itself? Any info appreciated. ...

Any comments on working as an editor for Ascend? I am an editor/AM now and possibly looking to change jobs soon. Thanks! ...

I've been an MT for many years but I am new to SR editing and I am feeling kind of incompetent. Today it took me 45 minutes to edit 1 note which was 57 lines long I've worked for 5 hours today so far and I have 500 lines. For any MTs out there who switched over to editing, how long did it take you to get up to speed with it and earning a decent hourly wage? For the experienced editors, about how many lines do you edit per hour? I do like the com ...

I'm back to editing after a few years away from it and can't believe how bad the software still is. The company I worked for 3 years ago used better software and the drafts were not that bad. Now I'm with a different company using not the best editing software. Not sure what the docs are using, but the VR really does a bad job, even with very good dictators. On words it doesn't understand it ignores them and then picks up when it understands it again. The errors it is makin ...

I started a new client for an MTSO recently. One ESL dictator's H&Ps are so out of order they require a ton of reformatting. This is the order he dictated: History of Present Illness, Past Medical History, Chief Complaint, Plan, PE, Review of Systems, Assessment/Plan. The template has to have formatting changed (bold headings and point size), the guy is very difficult to understand, does not use proper grammar and needs most sentences restructured. He slurs through the Review of Systems ...

I see a lot about MTs running out but how is the volume for QC? I am thinking of applying. Thanks. ...

Anyone out there work as an editor for focus infomatics/nuance? Are you able to make decent money editing? Thanks for any info. ...

With over 2 decades experience I can't make over $8. per hour with very rare exceptions were I get great dictators, long reports without the need to research demographics or other data. Where am I going wrong? ...

So for those of us that are looking for jobs who have worked for Nuance doing straight transacription and will most likely need to accept positions with a large amount of VR editing, what is a realistic in terms of hourly VR lines that are edited? I am assuming that most companies have similar averages of what transcriptionists edit within an hour. ...

I tried for a month not to use the mouse and only use keyboard commands but it's soo awkward. I started experimenting with using the mouse again and my production went way up. Is it a short-term gain? Should I hide the mouse? LOL. ...

I have an account that is transitioning to voice recognition which will take a couple of phases to fully implement. For a few months, they are going to need editors to check over some of the reports. Could I get some input on what kind of rates editors are charging? I've heard of by line, by hour, and by dictated minute, but not sure of the amount of each. This would be hospital Radiology editing and I'm in the PA/MD region. ...

I just saw an ad for QA editor at Nuance. It looks like they pay by the line, is this is typo or do they actually pay QC by the line? ...

Anyone know what the hourly rate is for editors at Nuance? I don't want to waste time applying if not good. Do you run out of work there? ...

Trying to determine the norm for providing free work. I spend more time fixing dictator's demographic errors demographic errors and searching for data that should have been dictated than I do editing. I'm just wondering if other editors just note these problems for QA to deal with or are you also working pretty much for free? Anyone been fired for refusing to work for free? ...

Since when does ...interrupted 5-0 rapid absorb VICRYL get corrected to ...interrupted 5-0 Rapide absorb VICRYL? Is this not supposed to be either VICRYL RAPIDE or rapid absorb VICRYL? Is my google machine broken? ...

I find it interesting that the specs have changed. I'm happy to see these changes... Doctors names in report verbatim. Headers abbreviated verbatim. (LABS, MEDS, HISTORY, HPI, etc). Copy-Paste requests verbatim. Skip silence (for dictators who have never heard of the pause command. Will dictators finally get the message that mumbled abbreviations with B, C, D, E, P, T, ...

Thinking about applying for a QA editor position. I always wondered how QA people are paid. When you get a file sent to your que and it has a couple of blanks, are you paid for the whole file just for opening it or just the blanks you fill in? If the latter is true, then do you get paid for just the line that blank is on? ...

Do you know anything about QA pay? I hear QA can be very rough - at SS due to lots of ESLs, is that true? nm

Editors generally refers to VR, and QA is completely different. - nm

LOL don't be so sure. Probably gearing up for VR - like the rest of the business.QA is not an editor.
