Softscript - what the starting rate is?

Offer seemed a little low but can grow after two months (speed and accuracy audit). I would be on my own with their software in my computer but with tech support. Got to get a foot pedal. This is all new to me. Help! ...

... or they tapdance around the question, I'll bluntly refuse right then and there. I saw some positive remarks, so I thought, on here not long ago so I applied to FastChart. Then after that, find comments about their low pay rate. I just got a response back from them after about 2 weeks. Unless someone is truly desperate and needs to take anything they can get, please try to start demanding a line rate before you waste your time testing and jumping through all those hoo ...

What is rate per line for someone starting with them? Do they have a tier pay structure? I love their ads and love their testing, but when you think about it, the pay NEVER goes up anywhere and you can't negotiate no matter how many years experience. Sounds like communism. ...

The holidays fall on my regular days to work, so I figured I might as well work them, but it would be nice to have a little extra. :-) ...

How would you Softscripters rate Support on a scale of 1-50? Is it just me or would y'all think that after 8,000,000,000 occurrences of the same issue they would have figured it out and done something about it. ...

Their way of figuring it is so convoluted. I wonder if they keep us all low like that. ...

Can anyone tell me if line rate pay is comparable to getting paid by the audio minute? Is 0.50 or 1.00 normal? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

Hello, I was interested in becoming a MT because I recently became a mom and would like to work from home. Can anyone tell me the best way to get started? Is there a class/ school you recommend? Or is there a book I can study and take a test to get certified? I am financially strapped so which would be the best for me? I currently work in the medical field in the ER as a Doctors Scribe so I have quite a bit of medical terminology. Thanks for your input! ...

Has anyone found it incredibly hard to find a job outside the home after working as an IC for a long period of time. I apply everywhere and never get a call back. I recently lost my job as an IC and don't want to even bother with MT work anymore. I have been spending time online and applying everywhere. No one wants you to apply in person anymore. ...

Nuance is any better than it's getting around here at MM? I see they want experienced MTs rather than newbies in one of the ads, so that would sound like they'd expect to have to pay better at least. I used to think this place was better, but not lately. Does anyone here work for both currently, or even recently? ...

I am considering entering into a MT program with one of the accredited schools, CareerStep. For those that have went through the CareerStep program, can you tell me (a salary or a range) of what your starting wage is with your first employer?

Are you working harder and longer, only to see your counts going down? What the h___ is going on with this place? ...

I have a question. I was hired on at Medquist and was scheduled to start back on August 23. The radiology account I had been assigned to hadn't gone live yet. I was then told it would be approximately the second week in September. Still no word from my supervisor as to a start date for training. Anyone know of another person on the radiology team I can contact about this. I have no other names except for my supervisor's name and the name of my recrui ...

Boy, Medquist is really trying to get my attention! I tested w them prev. but no luck. Now, I have recd. three voice mails and two emails to get me to retest. I have a job already for $9.30/hr that I like. I have read horror stories about Medquist and seasoned employees there having their pay reduced to basically minimal wage. I got taken in by DIT Transcription for 9 weeks, so I am really leery now about being lied to. What is a good line rate to start out with them if I ...

Hi. I am new to MT boards here but wondering about how one would start a home business. I have worked for companies as a subcontractor but wish to advertise for myself and get some work from local doctors on my own. I would likely need a mini transcriber if I have to pick up and drop off tapes, but how does one do it over the internet? Would there be a way to get it through email set up of some kind with audio wav files that they could dictate to and I access it from there and just type and emai ...

I noticed a few of us are scheduled to start around the same time, December 19, 20, and 21-ish. For those of you who are supposed to start around that time, have any of you had your software installed yet? I'm supposed to start on the 20th and have already sent in all my new-hire paperwork but I haven't heard from anyone since then. I'm just curious if it's still too early to have it installed or if I'm the only one. In case it makes a difference, ...

If you don't like those panels on the side of your text screen showing, you can drag the right and left margins of text screen to widen the text screen. You can also drag the upper and lower margins. You can enlarge the size of the font and change the style of the font (which only will change it on your end, not the client's end). I am not in the program right now, but I think it is under Tools at the top, then click on the tabs to see which one has the font ...

I am wondering if anyone can give me any advice on how to start my own business. I am tired of working for 5 cents a line. This is below minimum wage. I did get in touch with Transcription Gear and they gave me a lot of insight on the equipment I would need. I am looking for info here on what is a fair price per line or page fee and also how to market myself the right way. Any advice would be appreciated. ...

I have a full time employee position wtih another company. Beginning Sept 3, I will start IC for 3 days out of the week for 3-4 hours. It pays 0.09 cpl with spaces using DocQscribe. I figure in 3-4 hours I will probably do 800 lines as I will probably work 3 hours. Being that it is late in the year, do you think the extra income from Sept to December would make a huge difference in my taxes, or should I send taxes in to the IRS, and will I have to file as self ...

I'm so tired of working for pennies a line, worried about getting laid off, etc., and want to take control of my own destiny. SO...I'm looking at trying to get some clients of my own.
