their platform is horrible!! After telling me how very simple it is, I was on the phone for 3 hours and STILL she was talking. I finally just hung up. Ridiculous!

Horrible platforms - Margie

Sounds like p.r.n.'s platform.

Could be. Out of all the companies - sm

I have tried working for, the only ones with decent platforms use DQS. That is the only platform I can work on. The rest have glitches of one kind or another. I never have found even 1 on DQS.

DQS is owned by MQ, so any company using DQS is going to be bought - LOL

out by MQ eventually cause they (MQ) won't have to change platforms upon buy-out, or as seen in the past MQ will nullify the contract when they feel like it leaving the company using DQS in dire straits and srambling for a platform for their clients-OOPS-MQ wins again!

So, in my opinion if you ARE working for a company using DQS, beware-your days are numbered! MQ targets companies using DQS first!

Personally, any ad I see listed as DQS platform, I don't give them a second look and run!

Nothing wrong with K&R or PRNs platforms - beenatbothplaces

Have worked for K&R and the PScribe platform is very simple, as is the P.R.N. platform where I work now. Don't know what anyone finds so difficult about it. Once you know your way around the keyboard/hot keys,it's pretty easy. I can do almost 300 lph and on Bayscribe, which is the easiest platform in the world, I could do about 350-400 so it's not much difference. K&R was a good place to work, they never bugged me when I was there but I did not like the VBC pay. At P.R.N. I love it because nobody bugs me and I'm always busy. I didn't like DocQScribe at all when I worked at MQ. To each his own, all I can say is, if K&R hadn't been VBC pay, I'd still be there. But everything happens for a reason, and I'm very happy where I am now at P.R.N. and hope to be there for a long time.

well now that is just your OPINION - sm

I personally think you are nuts to dislike DQS and like the horrible platform at K&R. Methinks you be a troll

Because someone has a different opinion than you makes - them a troll? For real??? nm

I, too, hate the p.r.n. platform BUT - Suzy-Q

I do not think others who feel differently than I do are "trolls." How immature. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion without labeling and name-calling, I think. Can we leave the preschool behavior in the sandbox where it belongs, please?

Really? I just hated DocQScribe. Just never was a good fit for me. - rose

Yes indeed it is my opinion but for me, also a FACT. Different strokes for different folks ok?

I just have to go into agreement with you and say that I think DQS is the worst, most user-unfriendly platform in the universe. My calculus class was easier than learning to use DQS. But a friend of mine thinks it is the best thing since canned beer and night baseball so it just goes to show we are all different. Thankfully, I no longer have to worry about it. :)-

Run, do not walk. They use VBC and it is impossible to consistently get your line count. The 1 person here who states she is getting paid for ALL spaces is either lying or this is a prime example of K&R CRONYISM. Their platform is slow and there is alot of ESL.

Any pos or neg? I know they don't pay for spaces but they're willing to pay me 1 more cent than I'm currently making...wondering if it would kind of even out.

Rarely do I start discussion on mtstars - however, 2014 was a particularly challenging year for myself - an experienced MT/Editor (15+ years).

No PTO for the next 4 months to keep the clients satisfied during ...

I so look forward to these last 5 years going by fast: Going back to college to get a degree and walking away from MT never looking back. If it wasnt for paying for my schooling, I'd be out of this by now. If things get too bad I'd consider cutting lunch meat, stocking shelves at the neighborhood grocery store, whatever. The only up side to my 10+ years of doing MT work has been able to stay home for my kids and making pocket change.&nb ...
