Sick of SoftScript - Eliz
Posted: Jul 17, 2014
I am so sick of SoftScript and their unprofessional staff! Took 4 months to receive a reply from HR (after dozens of phone calls and e-mails). They no longer pay for spaces, but of course, we still have to insert them.
Any suggestions on a transcription company who actually takes care of their employees?

My experience with Softscripts just plain sucked (for lack of a better word). I have been doing transcription for over 15 years and have never heard such horrible dictators. I left and went to Amphion. Can't say a whole lot about Amphion yet (just started) but everyone I've come in contact with has been super nice and helpful.
Wish I had their HR rep's job - What hours does she work??

Interestingly enough HR changed their email addres--yet none of my messages to the address I'd used for 3 years bounced back as undeliverable---so I finally called to see if anyone was still alive in their presumed "office." Someone finally answered the phone and when I asked to speak to a particular person she hadn't come in yet (10:30 am their time). This went on for a couple of days. I did finally speak to someone (to let them know I was quitting!), and when I asked for the exit interview contact person--not there yet again--I asked when she would be in, and the receptionist said, "Who wants to know?" !!! I gave her my name then just quit via my PM.
So sad--and they have an ad going too...probably the next - anon

Nuance. I would not be surprised at all. Either get eaten by Nuance/Dragon, no be extinct. Maybe not, but strangely enough we have all experienced layoff, let goes and lies, so we are left to figure it all out by ourselves.
Tricks of the trade...don't pay for spaces..for YOU - anon

They do count them when they are billing their client though...so, that is money in their lined pockets. Tricky tradesmen/women.

I'm So Sick Of My Job. Jan 27, 2012This was a wonderful company to work for at first and now we have new QA people and I can't stand my job.

This is one QA person that has decided to change everything. We enter a lot of information that we're not paid for, and are now no longer paid for headers, and forget about BOS a ...
I Am So Sick Of CPs. Aug 27, 2012Here I am, getting shuffled around in the 'cesspool', a dozen unfamilar accounts. You have your decent accounts with just the basics.

So Sick Of This Jun 03, 2015i know this has been mentioned in here, but what is up with whole sections of a note done by ASR being missing? its bad enough that we get paid nothing to do this ASR crap, but when we have to actually transcribe whole sections we should be getting paid at the straight typing rate. i'm so close to just wiping out these ASR dictations and just typing them but i don't know how to do that...to change it from ASR to regular. i'm sure i'd get yelled at anyway. &n ...
What Is This About No Sick Time For MTs? Oct 23, 2009Okay any CTLs observing this board, please, please, please explain to me why an MT/ME cannot ask for sick time? I have a doctor's appointment and the doctor/specialist WILL NOT make it for a day I am off. So, I requested time off w/o pay for the day. I don't have a problem making up the time, but I am already working constantly as it is to make up from a very serious illness I have and am trying to get well from. The email we got was very vague ...
Makes Me Sick Dec 15, 2009I am currently awaiting a call from my boss about going salary for my position as an MT, and I have no patience , so just for fun I googled "how much salary does a medical transciptionist get paid" and I clicked on this link to one of those question/answer sites where someone asked about the average transcriptionist's salary, and what I read made me sick.
This person wrote a huge answer about what is to be an MT and how they get paid and such. This person is claiming essentially they ...

I don't use my computer for anything except work, email, and to look things up because I don't want to-- but everybody expects you to be a computer expert today, like it or not. If they didn' ...
