Spheris India Pvt Ltd 

Even to do 25000 lines per month as a proofer, you need to slog out.  The person who ever does 30, 000 plus lines will have no life other than office and may go mad in a year's time or develop carpal tunnel syndrome or some psychiatric complications.  Proofers were earning good money in night shift once upon a time before 2008 even if they did 20, 000 lines, but now with same kind of effort they are getting only 60% of what they used to get excluding some handful of people.

Due to the introduction of speech recognition software, they are being paid peanuts and many in this profession are moving to other professions if they get a chance or quitting to take care of their family business.  There is no career growth or salary growth in this profession.  My strong advice to anyone from non-MT background is PLEASE DO NOT COME TO THIS PROFESSION.  This job will screw your career.

Working atmosphere is good in Spheris, but we can relay on working environment. As economical status booms up, income of an employee should raise along with the employer, but in the case of Spheris, it is not so. At present, we are looking for a salary hike. Will it happen....! only God knows....!

It's really hart to understand wt's going on in company. Even attrition is going on in company, management doesn't even try to look at the root of cause (probably they would aware of this and keep mum). Those who remain in the company are trustworthy for the company. In this case, we should look at the bottom line employees those who are really doing the original work, not supportive work. Definitely, employees who do the actual work should get benefits at least instead of higher officials.

As far as working experience at Spheris goes, it is great to work here provided you are not bothered about monthly income that is your family is not dependent only on your salary. The first and foremost think is you can gain knowledge here, but you may have to sacrifice your freedom of work. So, really it is hard to understand what is going on in company...!

As far as I know, this is the only company in world which collects parking charges for vehicles of their staff, 300 rs for two-wheelers and 600 rs for cars per month.

This amounts to more than 10 rs per day, when you consider your 5 monthly offs. That's not all, they collect 1000 rs for cab, and a cab once hired cannot be de-hired for 6 months. In other words, cabs can only be hired for a minimum of 6 months.

Administrators will remain mute about this 6 months compulsory when a person hires a cab in Spheris. You will only come to know about this when you say, it is enough for me for 2 months. Rates above target lines are far below its competitors, see 40 ps per line in day shift. But spheris is a goldmine for direct upload MTs at night shift.

The salary structure is very complicated, just like cell phone companies have their talktime value, that your do not understand what you really get for you. Spheris has a fantastic work atmosphere. Enviable resources for self improvement that the person trained by spheris would be far more better than anyone else.

This is for the benefit of those people looking for wealthy living, people with a good to excellent grasp over English can make a future at Spheris, age no bar. A medical transcriptional (MT) working in the night shift earns around 20, 000 p.m. and an editor earns 15, 000 more which is on par or even surpasses the monthly pay of software engineers. Although this cannot be expected from day 1, it happens over a perior of a couple years. If you need a good job with a good pay, then one has to stick to one job and one company with dedication, rewards will flow with the course of time.

To mention my personal career growth, it started out with 3500 p.m. as a trainee, 6500 after confirmation, and 10, 000 to 15, 000 after achieving the capacity to send files directly to the client bypassing the editor/proof reader. Finally, after becoming a proofer (22, 000), and moving to the night shift, my salary is now 50, 000 plus gross. A lot of the money is in the form of incentives for the quality and quantity of lines that one does. Thirty thousand lines produces Rs. 35, 000 in the form of incentives alone in the night shift. Add to it 12, 000 of your salary and some 5000 of overtime, etc, you cross 50k.

After taxation, 45, 000 is what is credited to your account.
