Job with SoftScript - Fastkat

Posted: Oct 29, 2010

Does anyone know if SoftScript is a good company to work for?

I dont know first hand but Im interviewing with them next week - So I hope they pay decently and have work

NM...just hoping their pay is decent, the accounts have decent audio quality and dictators, the platform is relatively MT-friendly, and that they have sufficient work.

Seems like things we used to be able to count on but these days it's my standard "wish list" with these MTSOs, lol!

The archives are full of negative comments, but I decided to take the job anyway, and I'm glad - LTMT

The pay is decent, especially with the shift and weekend differentials, there is plenty of work, the platform is user friendly, and the sound quality is excellent. They do stress a lot on quality, which I do not feel is too much to ask. Good luck in your search.

I just started with SoftScript and so far I really like it. They do stress a lot on quality, which is good. I too read the negatives and decided to give it a try and I am glad I did. Different strokes for different folks!!!

I should have added that they have plenty of work, and actually have OT right and have all week for acute care. Also, I am happy with what they pay.

Good to know. Thanks. I have an interview with them this coming week and am keeping my fingers crossed because I'm absolutely over my current company. Thanks again!

I've worked for them for over a year and I'm really happy with them. They do stress on QA but I'm an editor so that's cool with me but I can tell you the MTs are FANTASTIC. The work is good, steady, and especially lately with some new accounts coming on, there has been a lot of OT lately.

Enjoy the good times while they last. You will go months on end with no OT offered, in fact you will run out of work often, and don't expect that yearly review they brag about. The company is good at making promises, but horrible at carrying through. Glad I moved on.

Glad you did too ... too much negativity around as it is. nm - happy MT

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? ...

How long after end of pay period does Softscript usually pay? I'm fairly new and trying to adjust! It's the 8th and end of November pay hasn't posted yet - is it just me since I'm new?

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. ...

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 ...

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. ...

Their email address they provide on their website when submitting emails to returns stating not a working email/no longer exists...Not one reply back. Do not answer their phones. No response to application. Yet, every week, they post begging for people. IMO, companies like this, aren't worth 2 cents. If the people they hire ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
