The only time I've seen this, it was a brand new account sm
The whole team had to go on QA and be released one by one. It was time-consuming but I guess the client had demanded it.
They may be brand new. Ask them how long in business if you make contact. nm

My account is extremely flexible!
Whenever I have needed time off, be it just a few hours during my shift or a day or two, it has never been a problem at all! I love it there!
That account in Texas was not a MQ account. They did not use DQS on that account until KS started.
They are moving 3 other accounts to DQS between now and January 1st. I asked. The MQ accounts they have gotten in the past did not go to DQS. I followed my old account, which is how I know, and it was Meditech. The account is still run by KS and is a big account too.
Has anyone started on KS Hem/Onc account yet?
Good dictators? Platform, how do you like it? Anything else you can tell me. Have to make a decision over the weekend.
Yes, but I started on a new account and it seems
there have been issues with my account and others that have come on-line since where it takes a little time to work out kinks. I know when you have bills to pay you need to be working, but there are several accounts on OT now and my account has been on OT more days than not.
I haven't yet had to have a secondary account. They have many accounts so I can't speak about overall work flow. My manager has 5 accounts and usually lots of work on all of them, in fact they are short staffed and currently hiring.
I think all MTSOs do that to get an account started. nm

Anyone started FutureNet new account
that was supposed to be huge coming on board in July? How do you like it and FutureNet as a whole? Would appreciate if any recent hires could tell me how long it took to hear back after applying. Openings are probably all filled by now but just wondering if it took a while to hear back and if they require testing. TIA! 
I just started on the new account with DocuScribe. It is the same as MQ. sm
I worked for MQ for a long time. When they got this new account, they asked if I was interested in changing accounts because I had the experience with the platform. It is the same one exactly. The difference is that KS has a lot of work and we are not pooled. They have taken on a lot of MQ accounts in the past few months. I think that they have a great reputation with their accounts and in general and that the fact that they do not send work offshore is very important to hospitals. It is to me :)
I make 0.105 per line, started at 0.08 but got a
few increases over the past few years.
Yeah, I started at 8 but now make 9 cpl there...
at least you know you have potential to grow with Keystrokes...good luck!!!
I started 6 months ago and enjoy my account
I am on an acute care hospital and they have me backed up to ER. They just mentioned starting a new hospital, I guess a big one, in about a month so I know they will be hiring. So far so good. Pay is every other Friday by direct deposit so it is on time.
I did. I would contact them. I started my new account Monday. sm
I have talked to several others that have either gotten a schedule change or a new account or different hours, so I would make sure that they received your email.
I just recently started a verbatim account...
and I have to stop myself from making corrections and have to really concentrate on typing exactly what they are saying. It's HARD! But hey, they are indirectly signing my paycheck, so I gotta do what they tell me to, ya know?
I am still on the same account I started with, so your allegation that better accounts come with sen
nm
I was told it hasn't started for any account
In order to finish you have to start and as far as I know no account has been started with this new line counting utility. When I questioned this, on several occasions, each time I was told its still happening but that was the extent of any information that was conveyed to me.
I just started with them also...trying to make sure I made the right decision...nm
nm
You heard wrong. I started at 0.09 and make more than I did at MQ because sm
I rarely, if ever, run out of work. It doesn't matter how high your rate is if there is never any work in the system. I worked for one company for 0.12 per line, but my highest check was just over $200 for 2 weeks because they overstaffed. KS does not, or at least not on the accounts that I have.
I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
Yep. Loving the new account that started today! Hooray TT!

I just started with Keystrokes full time and am on a Meditech account. sm
I would not call it my favorite platform by any means -- I think it is rather slow and cumbersome -- but with the addition of ShortHand and getting used to how things are done, I am picking up speed and hope to be at my normal level soon. One of the pluses to Meditech is that you can access the patient's chart and see other reports dictated, plus lab reports, x-rays, etc.
Well I make about 60,000 on one account.. sm
BUT... that is having my own account. The norm is working for another company at a low line rate and you would have to work really hard to make that! :) So I understand what your saying. It is a ploy to get people in the door that think they can work at home and do next to nothing for 40,000 a year, and unfortunatley some people fall for it. I cannot tell you how many people have asked me about my work and wanted to do it because they thought there was no work or effort involved in the training etc. Very frustrating!!
They pay 0.015 cpl for QA work! Extremely, extremely low, low, low. nm
x
I make that on an easy rad account
NM
I would rather work on 1 account and make more money, than 5 different ones! No thanks. sm
I think their new program absolutely sucks and there are a heck of a lot of people who say the sound quality is horrendous. I wasn't sticking around to find out. I made my decision as soon as I saw what it was about and knew it would slow me way down. Hey, to each their own. If you like it, fine. I am happy about my decision and glad I did it.
Unbelievable! So you have an easy account and make a
decent living, yet you come on this board and trash TT all the time! That really is two-faced. You don't deserve to work for TT! 
Can you tell us what brand? SM
I have tried many and not found good ones, so I'm asking you. It's worth a try! I'd love to invest in some but have not found any real good ones. Years ago Radio Shack had some awesome ones but they did not seem to have them at this time, mostly just what you can get anywhere. Thanks
BRAND NEW?
I'm wondering why nobody responded to this post. Is the company brand new? Or, so bad that nobody wants to share? Or, does the company forbid any posting here by its employees/ICs?
I am on a new account, doing work types I cant make money on. nm
xxx
with KS make sure you know the platform/account/equipment/ESLs;
nm
I have an easy account and make a decent living.
And while you are at it, TT Management,
BITE ME!!! You were fools to file this lawsuit. $294.50 to lose all credibility in the MT World. Sad, truly sad...
And many thought you were one of the good guys.
The account that I am on is FIFE, but it is a total outsource. Might make a difference. nm

eMachines is just the brand of computer
It doesn't determine whether your computer would be compatible with a platform or not. Your operating system, word processing software, and browser are the key factors for compatibility with a platform, I believe.
brand versus generic.....
but that's why we have reference materials!! When I started doing the job, I was lucky to FIND the medications!!! (I just started off the street...) Actually, the person that said that was correct, we don't necessarily always KNOW if drugs are generic or brand name, but it is our job to find out and spell/capitalize it correctly. Yes, it's time-consuming but hopefully once you have looked it up a few times, you'll learn it or at least be able to put it in your auto keys!! Well said MyMT!!
Not brand-new info, but recent. (sm)
I think the rate I had there was 8 or 8.5 cents a line, as an IC, which isn't great. The problems I had with them were that they did not use direct deposit for IC's and the checks ALWAYS took at least 15 days to come. They said it was a slow post office. I took the envelope to the post office and they looked at the postmark and said it had only just been mailed 3 days earlier, which means they mailed it 12 days late but would not admit it, nor would they let me have direct deposit or overnight (even though I offered to pay for the overnight service). That was annoying as heck, as it happened every single pay period. The other issue was that they required me to work Sundays, and yet I ran out of work EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY. I was supposed to hit 1100 lines every Sunday and it never ever happened even when I started at 4 a.m. Oh, and when I moved to where there was only satellite internet available, they told me they were compatible with satellite, and they weren't, so I had to find another job fast and they couldn't ever figure out why it wasn't compatible, as their tech was actually just an MT who had taken a computer course. Oy. I liked the work, the supervisors, etc., but it wasn't great. I left almost a year ago and never looked back.
My account went to India, have been struggling to make any money for the last month, crappy work. nm

Probably a brand new company. Never mentioned here or "elsewhere" before now. nm

An emachine is just a computer brand. I have one, no problems.

FOR LONG TIME MT: generic : Brand.....s/m
No, MTs are NOT supposed to KNOW if a med is generic or brand. HOW COULD WE? We are not doctors and no pharmacists.
How can we know, especially if it is the first time that we encounter this drug?
We have to LOOK it UP, what often takes a lot of time. But we do it. Because we HAVE to know if we have to Cap it or not cap it.
Do you know that Brand drugs are CAPPED, whereas generic are NOT CAPPED??? I suppose not, otherwise YOUR COMMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE DIFFERENT.
As what do you function: As an MTSO, MT or QA??
I hope that the time will come that MTSOs AND QAs will be made OBSOLETE, likewise this AAMT, now AHDI (or whatever), because they cause ONLY CHAOS and MONEY !
YOU OWE US AN APOLOGY!
A lot of companies are brand new start-ups, so we won't know anything about them. New places open
s
Probably brand new. Lots of new graduates get out there and try to start businesses all the time. nm

Is it proprietary software you guys are using or a "name brand," like ChartScript, etc.? nm

I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

Amazing that someone wants to pay that well -
As well some of them should! I talked with several MTSO ladies recently, and they told me their contract with the hospitals and clinics they did was for from between 20-24 cents per 65-character count line. These were at different places around the country. Seems like a lot of profit to me?
its amazing to me why some MTs sm
think that THEY are the only ones who are owed a response from a recruiter. To me if a recruiter doesn't answer, they don't want you, move on! For whatever reason. I have almost 30 years experience, not every place I have applied to answers and I don't expect them to.
I do have concerns about MTs who say they have worked for many companies blah, blah, blah. Why are they working for many companies anyway? Sounds like job hopping to me and there is a lot of that in this business. Some MTs think that if one thing doesn't go their way, move on to the next company. Personally, I will not hire a job hopper no matter how good they are! It is not worth it. I will wait it out for someone with experience who has a stable work record.
Recruiter, just do what you need to do and ignore all of this nonsense. Obviously there are some egos that need to be stroked and MTs who can't stand it if that does not happen.
Now if it is a matter of scheduling an interview or start date and then not showing up by a recruiter or trainer that is a different story but that was not the question to begin with.
I have worked for two different companies in almost 30 years and one of the companies I just started. I don't feel anybody owes me anything I can exist on my own skills and if I send a resume with no answer I ignore it and go on. I can only say I had that happen one time and the rumor was the company had no work at the time. They did me a favor.
Ignore the idiots, you owe nothing to anyone!
Amazing
I only graduated 4 months ago and have been working for a national since then. My QA is at 99.4-100% consistently. I do acute care all day long. It seems that some of these schools need to sit up and take notice if they are turning out such poor quality MTs. I went to Community College to get my MT education.
Amazing
I quit working there almost 6 months ago because I had a feeling that this type of thing would be coming when SPI took over Cymed. All of the changes that were going on just did not seem right at all. Now I'm REALLY glad that I left when I did! Unbelievable.
Amazing!
Just had to follow up on this because, 2 years later, the US MTs still have tons of work to do and there are several hundred US MTs employed at Spheris. Considering that all the work was being sent to India and US MTs were being forced to quit or being laid off...wonder how this is possible?! This just goes to show you that some people overreact and get their undies in a wad over silly things and blow things way out of proportion. If everyone would just calm down and think rationally, sometimes they wouldn't end up making stupid choices.
Not amazing
It's the difference in gross lines and pages versus 65 cpl pay. Thank AAMT or whatever they call themselves now. Going to paint gourds.
