I don't know about now, but a few years ago I worked for them and had a negative experience.

Are you aware that all CAPS is shouting? nm

Please quit shouting. Turn off caps! nm

You put it in all caps. You need to calm down. Caps means yelling.
Liar is slander and I hope you did not use your real initials.

from post below re MDI/bayscribe:  Bless you for taking the time to post this tip -- wow -- it works and i am so thankful to know it now :)   


And you are shouting why?
My opinion varies greatly from yours and trying to shout me down won't keep me quiet.
Please quit shouting in your posts. nm

please don't write in all caps

Well since we're now not all in caps...

What I did was type in *RX Transcription MTstars* in regular good ole Google and came up with the link to give you.


I know there's a bunch of posts about people checking archives, but there are different ways to check.


I can't help any further than that about this particular company because as far as some posters are concerned unless you've worked for a company for some extensive period of time, there's no sense in posting as it's worthless.  What a shame, but I'm about ready to only look at this job board and that's it. 


I try to post when I can what I know and I get bashed...  so I'm glad I could help you at least with that much and maybe someone who has worked there an extensive amount of time and knows all of the ins and outs will post since posts regarding anything other than that are not helpful!  


Didn't mean to yell in caps
Didn't mean to yell in caps lol
They are well known and referred to

If I was offered .01 cpl, I'd have no problem giving the co. name in CAPS! nm

It is great that you have referred
I have too, and I would suggest others to give them a call.  They are a good company to work for and I have been very happy there.
I just referred my friend who was hired
no physical, don't know when they stopped it, background check yes - 2 weeks to hire date and benefits after 90 days. I work on 2 accounts and have no trouble at all making my lines. I have nothing bad to say about this company but everyone has their own experience.
Not too worry.. I'm just feeling bad that I was probably the one who referred you to them LOL

Before we received the we're sharing our work with our partners speech, I was happily referring them and now I'm in the middle of taking another job. If that one works out and they dont offshore, I'll look you up LOL


The ones I referred to never worked for Keystrokes. sm
They worked for the hospital and then as ICs for the hospital. I did not mean to upset anyone. If you were a mother/daughter team at Keystrokes, and I think I know who as there were 3 and now only 1, then you were well-liked and appreciated. I know for a fact that the owner speaks very highly of all three of the mom/daughter teams, even the two who are gone, saying that she wished they were back.

These two MTs never worked there; they were from the hospital and had never worked anywhere else!

I would never intentionally offend anyone and certainly did not mean to do so by the post. The two who chased Keystrokes off the account were proud of it.

I have never heard ZyloMed referred to... sm
...as ZNF Transcription, although they are in Florida..
I am the person that Sleepy MT referred to
I work for On Time. I worked with Sleepy MT at the same company that was taken over by On Time. As far as the foot pedal, you can use on but they don't recommend it. They use F1, F2, F3 keys to stop, start and rewind. It took some getting used to but is okay. I still prefer the foot pedal though. I do neurology for 4 companies and there have been only a few times that there wasn't work but getting my line quota in is difficult on most days. Part timers are required 500/day or 2500/week. Full time is 1000/day or 5000/week. I do full time and it is difficult to get my 1000 lines in a day since most documents are very short (follow ups, etc). I usually work 8 a.m. to at least 6 p.m. each day. Most work is not available until 9 or 10 unless it is left over from the day before. Like I said, there is work but it is slow most of the time. There is almost never any work on the weekends so if you are planning on doing this on the weekend, this probably isn't for you. I am not sure if they are hiring right now. The jobs posted on the web site have been there forever and I am not sure when they were last updated. As far as the e-mail not working, the person who was in charge (whose e-mail that is) retired and I don't know if they updated or not. I make 0.8 cpl but if it is a template that the doc pulls in, I only get 0.4 cpl. My supervisor is pretty nice but she just took over for my old one who wasn't so great (the old one took the retired person's job). Support is kind of iffy. I find a lot of typos in a lot of the templates. They are a production based company so accuracy is not a high priority for them which really bothers me a lot. Basically, they are an okay company to work for. I am looking for something else part time so I can move down to part time with this though. My hands are wearing out and it takes WAY too much time to get my quota in every day. If you have any more questions, you can e-mail me if you like. Hope this helps.
Where'd my post go? I'm the ŕst person" referred to...
and I was only ASKING how she could be a CMT with only 8 months' experience! That's a legitimate question, I think, because the AAMT website clearly states that MTs must have a minimum of 2 years' acute care experience before testing for their CMT.

I realize a poster later confirmed this, but as my post has been deleted and referred to, I wanted to clarify what I actually said. My post was not insulting. I was asking a question. :-) Thanks-

It was referred to as stealing in a conference call by mgrs. sm
Your equation doesn't always prove true if there is little work, if a person's primary account is an overflow account, or if it is the last few days of the pay period.  If people are scrambling to get jobs on their shifts and someone else comes along who doesn't normally work that shift, but is just doing so out of convenience for themselves, they are taking lines from what little jobs there are from the people who abide by the rules and what they had been asked by management.  This is most definitely stealing lines from fellow MLSs. Perhaps you have been fortunate enough to have a primary account that always has heavy volume, and that may account for why you had never been told this by management. But, a good share of accounts aren't like this, and this has repeatedly been addressed by management as a problem issue.  If it wasn't a problem, upper management (Larry) would never have brought it up in conference calls and in email.
Not to be referred to as a "scribe" or "typist" or "typing pool." nm

You are wrong! Here is the ad. I got it too. There are no words spelled wrong and the caps are pa
This is pasted from the bottom of the email blast.

Why are you trying to stir up trouble? Keystrokes does not send ANYTHING offshore.
