Inscribe - any pros or cons? - looking for new company
Posted: Jan 05, 2012
I'm looking for a new company as my account is being outsourced. Is Inscribe worth the testing time?
INSCRIBE APPLICATION PROCESS - NESSA

I also applied and did all the tests. The tests were very time-consuming. Be sure to follow all the AAMT Book of Style guidelines AND Inscribe guidelines to the letter. They were very prompt in getting back with me and letting me know my score. (I read where they require at least an 80% in order to consider you.) I am now going through their intake process. Hoping for good things.
So I'm a bit stuck and not sure which way would be best... hoping you all can help.
Putting aside cost and time to complete, what are some other pros and cons of going for CPC/CCS first instead of an RHIA and vice versa? ...
being a prn employee? I have an upcoming interview at a hospital for an MT job. The job is not through a staffing/employment agency. Who ever gets the job will be an actual hospital employee but will not get any benefits (one disadvantage). I wonder how it works when you want to take vacation (how much notice needs to be given) or if you have to give a two-week notice when you quit. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! ...
Or hypothetically speaking if you are a QA who works on Dictaphone EXEditor, paid $16 per hour, full-time with potential for overtime most weeks. I have been with this company for 6 years. Love it. Great management/office staff. I have been offered a QA position, but want to know opinions from fellow QAers before accepting what you like or dislike about QAing, the work itself.
Is this a good gig? ...
Hey does anyone know of any pros/cons to DIT transcription? Got an e-mail that they want to take their test but not sure about it. I have been burned a few times from other places and don't want to fall into another trap....and not get my money.
Thanks! ...
I read some minor cons, some minor pros. I'm getting the feeling since the company is not being bashed heavily, that there are MTs who are surviving working for them.
Content people- What do you like about it?
Discontented people - What do you find lacking?
Request: Please don't turn this into an argument with each other because you disagree with another poster's experience. Just tell me YOUR experience, pretty please? ...
I have read so many pros and cons. Running out of work (that's a problem I have right now). I would love to hear from those who have been at SoftScript for longer than just a few months-maybe a year or more. Are you still happy? Do you still have work everyday? I can't take much more working till midnight just to get enough lines in and time in to pay my bills. I just want to do my job in a decent time frame and get some sleep. There's no such thing as a perfect company-they all h ...
I am thinking of switching over to Nuance and would appreciate any and all advise I can get. Please let me know your experiences both good and bad. Hate starting w/someone new. Thanks. ...
I was wondering if I could get some input on working for Nuance. Are they trustworthy? Do you run out of work? How is the platform Dicatphone Extext? Currently work for MModal and trying to decide if this would be a good change or bad.
Thanks for your help!
CURIOUS ...
I used to work for Medquist for about 15 years or so...I left the company in 1995. Can anytime tell me how they have changed...pay rates, etc. Do you have to work as employee or IC? Need equipment? I need all the information I can get is someone would be so kind as to fill me in. What type of platform do they use? Thanks in advance. ...
Do you think, with the current state of affairs with the MT industry, that it would be worth trying to start a transcription company? I'm torn. The only reason I would want to start a transcription company is to try to make what I use to make. I don't love being an MT, at least not anymore. In fact, I am growing to despise it. The thing is, I am a damn good MT, not that you would know it from looking at my paychecks since the big switch to VR and downgrade ...
I am getting a new computer with Windows 7 and would like to know what word expander programs a person would find simple, minimal learning curve, pros and cons and what is out there. I have always used autocorrect, but feel with a MT expander would increase my production better. Any advice, what to stay away from and what do you like about it or not? ...
Would like to hear pros and cons of the Medrite platform. Have not heard of this one before, so anything you have to say about it would be appreciated. Thank you. ...
Line requirement per hour? If subcontractor, what is pay per line? If employee, how are benefits, 401K? What is QA penalty and quality expectation? Thanks so much. ...
Anyone have any experience/knowledge of Inscribe.us? I am about to get offered a job with them for either straight transcrition or VR editing? Their line rate seems to be very good for both. ...
