Are the straight transcription-only accounts at Spheris loaded with horrible dictators?
Thanks!

The only thing horrible at Spheris is Spheris itself. Their really cr@ppy platform makes all dictations horrible to do.

I have never heard of transcription only accounts. Mine is mixed - and mostly VR. Tonight I got one transcription report and I think it's because this resident does not know how to speak English. (Ha, ha) She speaks English very badly. I had 33 blanks. So she couldn't pass VR probably.

To anyone working on a Spheris account: Can you tell me if there is a location to go to check lines typed. I mean, how do you keep track of your lines. I have repeatedly asked CCM and just cannot get an answer. ...
1. Now that we are not using Outlook for e-mail anymore (I can only assume since I do no get e-mails there anymore), what will happen to all the e-mails I have saved with valuable account spec information? Are we always going to be able to access that information?
2. I know eventually we will no longer be using the Spheris Intranet page. I notice also that line counts are totally screwed up basically all the time now. Are we still going to be able to get line count ...

I have been typing for viva for a year now and just received word from them that they were relocating my accounts to a back end voice rec system due to industry pressures for faster turnaround time and lower pricing for clients. Apparently my accounts, which aren't particularly difficult (no accents etc) were chosen for transfer while many others were not.
I'm pretty upset as I was doing my best with TAT (always made at least 48hr). I will say that they were nice about giv ...
I used to work for 3-T and they lost accounts so we let go. Now have been in touch with them because they have obtained new accounts. Anyone else in this position? I think I would like to work for them again but reading the recent posts about the company causes me concern. The glitch now is about the computer. I can use my own if I upgrade or buy one from company. Not sure what to do here and now I feel like I am getting a bit of a runaround on the subject. My initial excitement is ...
Was thinking of applying here but would like to know some information. Is there acute care accounts? Can you pick a schedule? Any VR? Do they supply equipment? What is the daily line count? What is their QA percentage requirement? Is management nice to work with? I think I've covered everything here. Would appreciate any input you could give......Thanks! ...
how is the platform. I know people have negative comments about them but are there any positive ones. I would only try it PT and IC. Not sure that would work out or not. ...
is that correct? If so, are CB and DF still involved? I love Bayscribe, and I was thinking about biting the bullet and applying to Nuance for some PT work, but I kind of butted heads with the 2 ladies and so I don't want to waste my time. Thanks for your input. ...
Hey Spheris MTs out there. I worked for Spheris for a while not too long ago but quit for another company. Nothing wrong with Spheris at all, just love the new company flexibility much, much more. I loved the expander program Spheris used (Shorthand 10.0) so much that I ended up buying the program to use on my new job. Problem is there are so many tips and tricks that Spheris provided for using Shorthand 10.0 that I never got to put into action and quit before I thou ...
my friend claims she only made $11000 with spheris last yr. but yet she had health benefits and 401K. how is it she's making so little is spheris really that bad of a company to work for . i've heard so many different stories i don't know what to believe anymore ...
Should we have a W2 from MQ as well as from Spheris? Was just putting my info together to have taxes done & don't understand the 2 from Spheris but noticed I don't have one that says MQ.
Thanks in advance. ...
Had nightmares about my company last night. I was told to go in the office of my boss and do some punishment work. I sat there in front of this blank computer, would not turn on, and something said to sit in her chair, since she was not there, and start opening all the books and do the worksheets about what a bad person/MT I was. Then, she popped up in the back of the office in black. Scary, evil woman! She said terrible things, and just as I kept telling myself thi ...
Is there anyone out there who has worked for Spheris and other large companies? If so, how does Spheris compare? Looking for other opportunities, but don't want to end up in a worse situation :) In particular, has anyone worked for both Spheris and Webmedx?
thanks ...

By closing the curtains on its finances, Spheris has opened the door to speculation regarding its future. Whispers range from a sale to a bankruptcy, with the former gaining steam in the past week after a blogger in India reported competitor Cbay Systems Ltd. had struck a deal to buy Spheris’ operations in that country.
Both Spheris and Cbay declined to address the potential sale. Spheris has ...
I had an interview with Spheris yesterday. It sounds too good to be true - more per line than I'm making now, plus production bonus and weekend shift differential? And better insurance too. Okay. I worked for MQ. My check got smaller and smaller as they revamped the bonuses and brought in VR (which absolutely refused to be taught anything). So tell me the truth - would I be jumping back into the same fire with Spheris? ...
I'm not sure if this is a good move for me, especially after reading an article on them that was linked from this board. Recruiter says they have loads of work, but they seem really regimented. Anyone work for them and want to share? Thanks. ...
