InScribe & 99.5 requirement - Onthefence
Posted: May 13, 2013
I have been offered a position with InScribe and am really on the fence regarding accepting the position or not. I currently work for Webmedx/Nuance and positively HATE Nuance and looking to get out of there. The presentation for InScribe says they require all their MTs to maintain a 99.5 score or better and you are only allowed 1 time a year to fall below 99.5. This scares me to death to be honest. I am a good transcriptionist and consistently have reports through FIESA that are 100% but on rare occasion, I can have a report that falls under 98% that pushes my score below 99.5. I would like to hear from current or previous MTs who have/do work for InScribe regarding how hard/easy it is to maintain 99.5. Thank you.
I couldn't even pass their test, LOL - Inscribe
[ In Reply To ..]They are the only company I have ever failed a test for, but I wouldn't work for a company with a 99.5% accuracy rate. Most companies these days even count off for punctuation, so that would mean being on your A-game and not ever missing a mark. Too much pressure for me...good luck.
I agree... - any place that
[ In Reply To ..]that requires that kind of accuracy in a production job needs to start paying hourly so workers can proofread several times before turning in work. Even books, magazines and newspapers do not have that kind of accuracy.
And... - Addison
[ In Reply To ..]"typists" for books, magazines, and newspapers are not the only ones proofing their own work. It's ALWAYS proofed by someone else before it goes to press.
This is what MM has required for quite a while and it is set - to go up in September. SM
[ In Reply To ..]The MTSO cannot make VR any better and they WONT make the dictators dictate better, so the only ones left to try to squeeze a perfect job out of is us.
Go up at MM? to what? 100%, 100% of the time is 100% impossible. NM - anon
[ In Reply To ..]xx
I think it is going up to 99.8 but I cant find my email right - off hand. IMO, they are trying to SM
[ In Reply To ..]slowing ease it up til they do get 100% out of us. But, of course, as you just said, that wont be possible all the time so I think at that time they will slowly start bringing it back down to a number that is possible most of the time.
At MM - I am now facing
[ In Reply To ..]termination for 98.5 plus percent and all I can say is "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"
MM now facing - kabina
[ In Reply To ..]Well, I just think that's ridiculous. Not only do we have to worry about such low pay with VR but now they've got the QA percentage up to such a ridiculous rate. They should count themselves lucky that any MT would even consider working for that kind of bull.
IC for InScribe - MTMomof 4
[ In Reply To ..]I was an IC for InScribe for 7 months and I was let go because my eval was below a 99.5% I was heartbroken as I LOVE this company. Can do without some of the people that work there but the work is fun and the company is great! I have to wait 6 months before I can try again, but I am a recent graduate and I think 99.5% is a little high for someone like me who is just starting out. You will be evaluated every 60 days for as long as you work there so unless you are perfect every time your job will always be on the line, and that part scared me too. I hope you can get in and maintain the 99.5% they require. Good luck!
I work for InScribe - Coop
[ In Reply To ..]I've worked for InScribe for almost 4 years and have had several 100% evaluations. Good MTs produce high quality work, and at InScribe, you are rewarded for that! I was thrilled with the bonus I received, and when I really think about it, the 99.5% has spurred me on to be a high quality MT. The company provides a TON of resources to help its MTs and the folks working with me are always super helpful. We actually communicate with our co-MTs!! Basically, you are set up to SUCCEED, not fail. Don't let a high expectation cause you to pass by this opportunity. You will be better for it!

ASR Lph Requirement
Oct 20, 2009
I'm going to start ASR shortly and am wondernig about line counts. I'm required to do 150 lph of straight transcription.

Accuracy Requirement
Mar 09, 2013
Very shortly our accuracy requirement will be 99.6%. Since this company cares nothing about accuracy, my conclusion is two-fold: 1) As they always have, they are going to use this as a marketing tool. 2) Anyone who falls below 99.6% will have their pay docked thus reducing the company's labor costs even further and will probably result in administrative bonuses. For new employees - welcome to MM. For everyone else - get out if you can. ...
