Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm

small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend.  Is this true? 

I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread.  Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.

I applied at Keystrokes at least 6 weeks ago.  My only communication with them was my sending a resume and them sending back a questionnaire regarding my equipment.  Not asked to test, nothing. 

I get this rather unsettling e-mail today (6 weeks later): 

I am tired of hearing about MQ. Everytime someone posts something (almost every time) it reverts to being a MQ bashing.  I think if there are so many disillusioned MTs at MQ, then perhaps the Administrator needs to make a new board one for all the unhappy MQ MT's, because I know most of us are all tired of reading how unhappy the MQ MT's are, and if they are so unhappy find another job.  It's not as if MT jobs cannot be found. A good MT can find a job!  I have 2, with 2 different companies and I love both companies and I make good money with both companies.  I work for Transcend, and think they are a great company, and also Keystrokes, and are equally as wonderful.  Lee could not be nicer to work for at Keystrokes, she is honest and upfront about everything. 

And if you keep your butt in the chair, you can make money!  Give MQ MTs their own board please!

All input is appreciated.  Need to make a decision some time today.  Pros and cons for both, so looking for insight from those who have worked for either or both.

Thanks in advance!

anybody give me the good and bad about these companies, as well as the platforms they use?  I'm thinking about adding on some part-time work to compensate for the lack of work at current MTSO.  I know there are a lot of companies out there, but these four seem to be discussed a lot.  However, it's hard to compare them when you have to jump all around the boards to find out information.  If anybody has other MTSOs besides these four that I should stay away from or definitely submit a resume to, please post that too.

I was there for the promises and guess what Keystrokes is making good on those promises. 

I get vacation time, 401K, and even AFLAC.  My pay is great, always on time as well as accurate. 

I have my main account and have been given back up accounts for which I have been fully trained and am comfortable typing on.  I have great leads, great tech support and plenty of work.

Am I biased???  Yes I am biased.  I am grateful everyday that I was given the opportunity to work for Keystrokes and their team.  I am grateful that my company's owner is a fellow Transcriptionist that goes home at the end of the day and works like the rest of us so she knows what a hard job I have and I know that she is working to make things better for me because unlike other companies I have worked for she understands what it is I do.

Please accept my apologies that you were unhappy with Keystrokes and chose to move on before all of the promises came to fruition but don't begrudge those of us that stayed loyal and are now reaping the benefits of a GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT BENEFITS, LOTS OF WORK AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE GREAT THINGS TO COME!

I just want to say Thank you Lee, Jeff, Becky, Karyn, Martha, Annette, Paul and everybody else in the office for all that you do.

I was hired by Keystrokes for clinic work back at the first of June, worked 1 week, and then the account was lost--no real explanation for the reason.  I've been trying unsuccessfully to find out when or if I'll be put on another account since then (over a month now).  Has anyone else had this experience? 

I went with Keystrokes because of the mostly positive comments from this board and others.  I don't want to badmouth anyone, but these actions seem to uncharacteristic of them, and the lack of communication is really taking its toll on me--why wouldn't they let me know something?!! I understand most of their accounts are radiology, and there may be problems placing me on another clinic account, but I need to know something! 

Thanks for any insight--

I AGREE WITH YOU KEYSTROKES QA...

Hi Kim,

I understand your frustration with all the negative heckling that goes on on this board and your need to want to clarify who you are with your real name.  BUT, I seriously would not post your telephone number, just to justify who you are to a bunch of strangers calling you Lee.  It is way to easy for anyone to locate somebody with a phone number these days, 411.com, google, etc.  You just do not know who surfs ANY site on the net these days and that is a safety risk. 

Case in point, my dear niece is trying to adopt and posted her number & area on an adoption board of all places, for anyone to call with info on a certain agency....it took the police who caught the creep who had stalked her, first by phone, then in person, to figure out where he got the info.  He told them that he just wanted to "help these poor women to be able to conceive the baby they wanted" take that any way you want but believe me, from the calls she got, it was purely sick.

Just an FYI about safety on the internet. Not worth your own to justify to a bunch of hecklers.
