    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.
    to 4vrtpng re CAPS OR NO CAPS

    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 :)   


    She said promise not to YELL!!!!


    um, don't yell at me--I don't work there
    I was just responding to the email above me. CALM DOWN!!
    OK, promise not to yell? See Message
    I feel your pain, because I'm in exact same position, but there is no fighting it. I have chance to go to company without VR, but that company will probably go under, because this is the way the companies save money. It's a mess. I believe we have to accept it or find other careers and I am also seriously considering that.

    PS
    You could try Softscript.
    you did see the person yell at me for bo reason right!?
    Why don't you scroll back up a little bit and see how this thing started before you POINT your finger at me Ms. Know it all! Ignorant.
    don't yell, I know I screwed up....too early..lol..nm
    xx
    that is so childish....don't yell!! good grief.

    please don't write in all caps
    nm
    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!  


    Are you aware that all CAPS is shouting? nm
    x
    All caps is referred to as shouting. Yes, I know of them...
    I don't know about now, but a few years ago I worked for them and had a negative experience. 
    Please quit shouting. Turn off caps! nm
    x
    If I was offered .01 cpl, I'd have no problem giving the co. name in CAPS! nm
    nm
    okay to yell the first time but not correct etiquette the second time?
    .
    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.

    Here is the email blast from ILHIMA. The KS logo is at the top but does not paste here:

    Rapid Turnaround, Guaranteed Accuracy, Measurable Cost Savings, U.S.A. Only, & Personal Service. These are our Five Stars of Excellence Promise. Find out what they can mean for you today. Email Pam.Gingrich@KeystrokesMT.com today!

    I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
    why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.  
    She didn't say they didn't offshore at all s/m
    What she did say is that if the work needs to be done here, it stays here (paraphrased a bit, I think).

    That is not lying and saying that they don't offshore work, as was stated by another poster above, but saying that if the client wants the work to stay in the US, they will keep it here. Sheesh.
    She didn't say she didn't have a family. A family isn't just kids. sm

    She also said she didn't have kids. Why do you think you're so much better  BECAUSE you have kids?  I am so sick of that attitude.  I don't have kids, never wanted them, but have been discriminated against in jobs because of it.  Everyone figured since I had no kids I could work all the time.  I said NO!  Just because I don't have kids doesn't mean I don't have a life or that my life is not important.   


    BTW I work part time too. 


    Thanks! Not sure why I didn't think of that
    but that is what I will do from now on!
    Thank you - I didn't know. :) nm
    x
    Are you sure she didn't say she has been
    a recruiter for years (not necessarily with Keystrokes)?  Because I was hired at another company a number of years ago and she was the recruiter, maybe there was a misunderstanding?
    I did all that and it still didn't come up....oh well
    I think there is just trouble with imail. This happened to me the day before yesterday too. To get to the MQ board click on forums (left blue menu) then click on company forum, (you obviously did that) but then look to the blue menu on the left and now Medquist appears under company board and before offshore board. See ya there.
    What $125? I didn't see anything like that.
    And there's a charge if we return the computer before three months? I heard they were the absolute best company out there. I simply can't make a decent line count. I sent out three resumes on fulltime local nonMT jobs yesterday because I haven't been able to earn a decent steady income doing MT for a year now. I'm not going bankrupt over this. I don't see why it has to be this difficult. I'd be totally loyal, stay with a company, and move into a more responsible position if I could find the right company.
    I didn't know that.

    So those who are moseying along, getting in their 11,000 whenever, are making as much as the ones who work really hard to get their line counts into the incentive range?


    I wonder if there are any other companies out there that reward mediocrity?  If so, maybe it's time to lower my own personal standards to fit in with the new trend.


    you didn't
    Boy that was quick! Like I said, it was my oversight and I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. You didn't deserve it.
    I didn't get it either.
    x
    I didn't think that was possible
    NONE - no cable, no DSL? How can that be in this day and age. I only have 2 choices here - Comcast or Verizon DSL. Verizon is out for me and it is a drag when Comcast has outages all the time.

    I do work on an a/c where I've worked using dial-up with Comcast down - uses Quadris with VPN server. Worked just fine on dial-up. No problem getting into VPN at all, and able to type & save reports quite well.

    Another a/c - uses IDX with no VPN - didn't work w/o high speed.

    Definitely can't use dialup tho for any voice files. Only for a/c's with phone dictation.

    As to foot pedals - try eBay. Plenty of other sites where people are selling equipment.
    If you didn't know before - know it now

    They didn't used to, but they are going to now
    they are starting up a pilot program offshoring a certain number of jobs per day to test the waters in what is pivotal to the industry. Yada yada yada. So they didn't before, but they will be soon. It'll come back to bite them in the you-know-what. A bigger threat to borderline MTs is VR.
    When I was there they didn't pay for that
    downtime, either.
    AND I didn't say she should be, I said

    that everywhere ELSE I go they are falling all over themselves.  If you had the experience I have, you'd know what I mean.  And since I never talked to her other than to say You emailed me and told me to call you... and she said she'd call me RIGHT BACK, and those were the only words I ever spoke to her, I don't see where any attitude would come in.


    I do know that any company/any hospital would be GLAD to have me work for them.  I have received nothing but praise for my work.  I have worked long and hard to gain the experience I have and it has paid off.  I have had my own hospital accounts for years.  I've never had to beg for a job; they are offered to me quite readily.  Sorry if that bothers you.


    Please tell me that you didn't (sm)
    use this as an excuse not to pay them. This would certainly be reason enough to get rid of them, but I don't understand why you would not set their pay straight.
    Didn't like it
    I tried to like Amphion as well, but it just wasn't the company for me. I also hated the DI screen fill in and I found the clinic notes to be dull and not very mentally stimulating. I left within a month and I'm happy where I am now. The people are very nice but I also found the supervisors to be not very helpful.
    No, she sure didn't. Sorry! nm
    nm
    Thank you..I didn't even get to the SM
    part about how PROUD they are to low-ball on rates the way they do.  Why such pride for driving down rates in the areas they do business?  There are MTSOs out there who quote a FAIR RATE based upon their overhead (including the rates to pay good MTs) and Shapin seems to be quite proud of the fact that they quote such low rates to their clients to get accounts.
    I didn't like it sm

    When I worked there, it wasn't organized, ran out of work and the operations manager was pretty nasty at times. 


     


    Things may have gotten better since then, but I doubt it.


    what the ad didn't tell you
    On editing and transcription, you have to deal with logs and you don't get paid for them.  You also have to fool with margins and all that extra stuff that takes time.  I was there nearly a year and quit because I couldn't take the temper tantrums. 
    Sorry...I didn't know about no DD

    I have been there longer than July, maybe they didn't take it away from those who had it originally when they went to no DD.  BUT, even if I did not have DD, I would still work for them.


    But, Wise-MT, your post was good.  A good contrast between the two of us.  Sort of * whole picture * type of thing.


    Good Luck to you Sammy.  I hope you find a place you like and who treats you well.  We MTs sure ALL deserve that at least!


    Did you consider that maybe she didn't
    :)
    I didn't see an ad
    But they emailed me today about a position, so they are hiring.
    I didn't know, thanks. sm
    I haven't visited that board in quite a long, long time and thought it was mostly a general-topic board. But, you are right, it has a lot of topics pertaining to this subject.


    Don't say we didn't tell you! (sm)

    You come here enough and you can tell the few angry flamers and the sour grapes from the people who have genuinely tried these companies - go ahead - give them a whirl. I have looked and tested and compared companies for the last 6 months - and I have come here to report on some real winners (not) - I tested and was offered a position with SS too and I turned down because on the advice of someone here I asked some very pointed questions and was a little concerned about the lack of forthcoming answers... but to each his own.  Good luck to you!


    hmm.....why didn't
    I think of that myself??
    Didn't get cpl..
    I didn't ask cpl because she said they use something called Netcare but in the last email she said they have an eScription account so I asked about that last night.
    Didn't think of that, but since they are asking for a 2 x 2
    photo it does sound awfully fishy. 
    also didn't tell ya
    just about every report is 100% listen plus feedback required, you can't make squat.
    Didn't think about
    any of that, but you both have a point!
    I said most likely not as many, I didn't say
    it definitely would not. 
    They didn't pay me either!

    I worked for this company for a short period of time and they never have paid me.


    No, I didn't get one, but it is only a
    matter of time I suppose, just goes to show they have no clue as to who is working for them, very disorganized company.
