MedQuist CEO Peter Masanotti said that they are pleased with the operating performance for the third quarter of 2010.

"Our net revenues increased 34 per cent during the third quarter compared to the same period in the prior year, due largely to third quarter of 2010 being the first full quarter that included the impact of the Spheris acquisition," Masanotti said.

"Our increases in revenues were partially offset by the impact of pricing and lower non-core maintenance service revenues."
