Softscript - email for them? - Iapplied

Posted: Jan 19, 2014

So, I applied to Softscript. Word is it takes a while for them to get back to anyone, but I tried to email them twice (at the jobs@softscript.com), and my emails have been returned. Anybody have another email for them? TIA

No, I don't, but I have heard nothing but bad news about them.

Isn't SoftScript part of Nuance now? Pretty sure it is. - Fading fast

No, SoftScript is not a part of Nuance, sm - Current SS emp

As a point of interest, however, it is one of the few 100% USA owned MTSOs still out there. To my knowledge, there are no plans for SS to sell to any other MTSO.

To Your Knowledge?? - Nobody tells me ANYTHING

This job is not the worst in many ways, but it is absolutely the worst company I have ever worked for in terms of communication. They are always sending out "Team" emails, but who is on this team? Me and my production manager?? They discourage communication among employees to the extent that the employee handbook warns against it, especially discussing salaries with other employees--if you knew who they were, that is. The only "communication" between employees and management is the threat of being reported for some infringement. The only way you could know as an employee (and not management, which for your own mental health I hope you are not) about SS and its future plans is if you read an email that was sent accidentally to the masses. Come to think of it, you probably do as it is not unusual to get a "Forget what you just" read email from someone who apparently doesn't know what "Reply All" mean.

All too common, I think... - Same here

This seems more common than not, I'm afraid. While an IC for my company for over 4 years, I have yet to meet or communicate with anyone else working for the company other than my supervisor and QA (most of which involves the occasional "infraction" on a particular job) or the mass e-mail sent out with an "SOS" begging MTs to log on because there are 100+ jobs waiting to be done. Never a thank you for working when you don't usually work and no explanation when the account just "disappears" because they have just lost the account either. Very frustrating.

me as well - like hostages

You know how they always have hostage negotiators try to personalize the victim so the hostage taker will see them as a real person with loved ones,etc? Well, mt has become so anonymous i really believe that's a big reason why we're treated poorly. We're just names on a list,not real people with bills, feelings, etc.

So I was wondering if you ever heard back from Softscript? If you did, is there any info you can give for those considering applying? Pay, platform, VR/transcription? TIA

platform is word based, no VR -- straight type - jj

Anywhere from 25 to 40% cost savings realized by the switch from Outlook. Said to self whose pocket are those savings going to hit and wagered it won't be the MT as is the industry standard. No efforts to upgrade the SS client only switch to use of a new email program that is open source and costs them nothing and provides 25 to 40% cost savings in managing it. No efforts to upgrade the SS client since that would positively impact the earnings of the people who make the e ...

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. ...
