Does Keystrokes use Docuscribe? How are they to work for?
Posted By: LookingAgain on 2008-08-06
In Reply to:
I am tired of geting burned by some of the companies that advertise here. I want a job that has a lot of work, does not outsource and have good accounts.
My resume is looking worse and worse because I appear to be job hopping. I want to find a good company where I settle in, work hard and retire in 7 or 8 years.
I worked for MQ for 11 years and loved DocQscribe. I just saw an ad from Keystrokes that they use it and want to know if they are as good as they seem to work for.
This is so confusing. Most of the companies either run out of work, send work to India or conveniently forget to pay for work done. Help! I need a good company!

For any Keystrokes MTs on Docuscribe
How do you feel about the Docuscribe account now that you have had a chance to work on it a while? I read there were lots of ESLs, but how is the work load and have you gotten into a rhythm with it? Thanks.
Keystrokes Docuscribe Account
Did anyone out there get hired a few weeks ago by KS for a new account that is on the Docuscribe platform (the same one that MQ uses)? If so, how do you like that platform and how is the account? I am very curious about this because it stated in the ad that they will be putting a lot of new accounts on that platform in the coming year. Please share your experience thus far. Thanks a bunch.
Keystrokes New Docuscribe Account
I asked this question last week and would like to check regarding if transcriptionists who were hired for this account feel any better about it yet? Last week there were a lot of negative posts stating too many ESL dictators that were very difficult and they were not able to produce a good line count. Has it improved any for you? Also, how do you like the Docuscribe platform?
Does Smart Type work with Docuscribe? sm
entertaining an offer and need to know about this. Thank you.
I work on Docuscribe (not MQ) and have also worked on Chartscript in the past. My line counts went
down significantly when I went to the DQS platform. Don't know if it is being manipulated or not, just simply stating the facts as I have seen them.
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't
DocUscribe...
platform Medquist uses that we all know and love. 
DocuScribe
Anyone know how this platform is?
Docuscribe....sm
That account is full of horrible ESLs. I like Docuscribe, but the ESLs, I would say, make up about 60% of the account. It is awful, I won't deal with this much longer. Changes to account day in and day out sometimes 3 times a day...Can't get production going, always something changing....but what can one expect considering where the hospital is located. I am so disappointed.
Docuscribe
I work there and love it. My account just went to Docuscribe and I love it. My production has jumped a good bit. I have plenty of work just about all the time and they leave me alone, pay me on time, etc.
KS regarding Docuscribe
Is KS still looking for people to work on the big account they started a while back? I know it was utilizing Docuscribe and I was hired for it but because of the great amount of ESL dictators, I decided not to stay with them. I really didn't mind the Docuscribe though, and can't figure out why they would require experienc on Docuscribe. I didn't think the platform was difficult to learn at all.
Would love to be on Docuscribe at KS
love to be on it again..it beats Meditech any day!
I went from Docuscribe to Extext. It only took about
a week or so to get up the required line count; but I had to put all my short cuts in over again, so that slowed me down somewhat. All in all its not a bad program.
DSG out of Atlanta uses Docuscribe. nm

They are saving a fortune on Docuscribe (sm)
Since switching most of us have taken a deep dip in wages. A little perk to keep morale up wouldn't hurt.
Anything out there part time DocuScribe except MQ? n/m

They are the ones calling it Medquist Docuscribe, not me. nm
Bayscribe versus DocuScribe. Which is better?
I've used both but wondering which people generally prefer. Me? I'd have to say DocuScribe is more user-friendly to me. Ideas?
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 :)
No. We use DocuScribe and have no intentions of selling to MQ. sm
They have a separate department for technology, used to be Lanier, and they keep it separate. It is the same as using WebChartMD or EmDat. We pay what we use.
I know of Meditech, DocuScribe, TA+ and ExText for HIM and sm
Radnet, Meditech, HBO Star and Misis for radiology.
All of those are compatible with Shorthand.
Does/Did MedQ use Docuscribe program?
I quit the big Q several years ago and can't remember what program I used. (Old age memory problems, LOL). Does anyone know if they do or did use Docuscribe? TIA.
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
Keystrokes: Why should I come work for you?
I'm interested in working for you guys, but from what I've heard you don't furnish a computer, do not pay for long distance, do not pay for health insurance. Do you KS employees not mind all that? Is the money you make worth not having the above-mentioned items? Thanks for any input as I am very intrigued by this company but wondering about what is NOT provided.
? for those who work at Keystrokes.
Do you use Word? Can you use Stedman's Spellchecker? What Expander do you use? I don't know the name of the account I'm going to be working on, but it is a hospital account.
I forgot to ask these questions when talking with them today.
Does Keystrokes often run out of work?
.
Do You Work for Keystrokes?
ERMT -- Do you work for Keystrokes? I was hoping for an individual message from you about your specific experiences and opinions about Keystrokes. I can always go to the archives, etc. But I wanted a personal reply from YOU.
I used to work for DSG before going to Keystrokes...
and I have never been happier...DSG constantly runs out of work, KS never does...unanswered emails at DSG, that never happens at KS...good luck in your decision but I would definitely choose Keystrokes after having worked for both companies mentioned above...
Anyone STILL low on work at Keystrokes???
Wow, these past 4 weeks or so have been the slowest that I have ever seen. All of my accounts have been very, very slow. If it doesn't pick up real soon, I may have to start sending resumes out, which I HATE to do as I love Keystrokes, but not loving the little to no work. Anyone else in the same situation?
Keystrokes....they work for me...nm
Anyone work for keystrokes?
Would love info from someone who works for Keystrokes, specifics on amount of work, company, how are they to work for, etc. Thanks.
No.. I don't work for keystrokes
nm
Do you work for Keystrokes? sm
There are no admin assistants in the office that are transcriptionists and there are no prn transcriptionists. You must be confusing them with someone else. They have started some part-time positions but do not have any PRN positions. I have worked for KS for 6 years now and am a lead. There are no and will not be p.r.n. positions due to TAT and other factors.
Also, KS no longer requires WindowsXP. More and more accounts are Vista compatible.
I work at Keystrokes
And I am more than willing to say that I like working for them very much, but there have been drawbacks with my employment as well. Work load on my accounts is up and down, don't know from one day to next if it will be busy or slow, but then again, just ask and you will be assigned a back up account to help fill in on the slow days. PTO time, definitely sucks. 1 week paid a year, and you can take up to 2 weeks without pay. Don't make any last minute plans, you need to get the approval 30 days in advance to take time off. Time off is blocked out around Christmas, which for people like me that are 2/3 of the way across country from their family is hard, but we adjust. The pay is good, the benefits on the other hand, though a good package, I find to be expensive and hard to afford. The job leads and management though are wonderful and usually willing to work with you on all issues. All in all, I do like working here and am not going to look elsewhere.
DOES ANYONE WORK FOR KEYSTROKES HELP
Does anyone out there work for keystrokes. I need some answers to some questions. Please. Thanks.
No work at Keystrokes
Anyone had this problem of recent? Also, QA fussing at you because you are not multilingual/mindreader/MD?
Anyone work for Keystrokes (Clinic)....
Can anyone tell me anything about this company? How is the pay (on time???). Is there plenty of work? I was told I would be assigned to one doctor.... what happens if a doc does not dictate one day, can I get a second doc? Any other help would be appreciated.
TIA
Keystrokes - Not Enough Radiology Work
I too thought Keystrokes would be my salvation when I read all the great posts about it, and accepted an offer in September. But my radiology accounts dried up, and even though I have been begging for work, I have not been offered anything steady or stable. Yes, everyone there is as nice as can be, paychecks (such as they are) are on-time, but from the time I get up until I go to bed I am lucky if I have a half-dozen reports. My first/primary account went voice before I even started it. I asked for a backup and they gave me clinic notes - I only do radiology, I have 13 years of radiology. I asked for another backup and had one for less than a month before it went voice. During that month there were more transcriptionists than available dial-in lines, so couldn't get in to work half the time. Now I've been given an account that I'm only allowed to work on weekend afternoons. I continue to ask them to find me an account. I absolutely cannot believe I am begging for work and earning nothing. I have a family counting on me, I can't go on like this. I am absolutely devastated. CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU GO TO KEYSTROKES.
Keystrokes definitely a good one - work there now
Had a nightmare experience with TT. Have heard DeVenture is a good one but no personal experience.
I have never run out of work at Keystrokes, nor have I come close
I have 2 ER accounts, and they both keep me very busy. It is true that they make sure that everyone working there has enough work before they will hire more people. That's why I love them so much.
Anyone work for Keystrokes on a teaching
hospital account that started recently? I've been on the account for about 6 weeks. I'm struggling on it and I'd just like to talk to another MT on the account.
Keystrokes is great to work for...
tons of work, great leads, benefits and great pay...I believe they just started using DocuqScribe recently though because I came from a company that used DocuqScribe and an account using that was not offered at the time...send in your resumes girls!!!
Keystrokes - Running out of work?
What type of account do you work at? I just got hired and my account will be a very large teaching hospital in the mid-west. I didn't think it was the kind of place that would run out of work but your comment has me concerned. Would you please expand on your experience with your account if you can? Thanks.
Do you have to work every weekend with Keystrokes?
x
Keystrokes and clinic work....sm
Does Keystrokes offer clinic work? Thanks
I would love to work for Keystrokes but
I do not have a personal computer with XP and they stated that I needed to supply my own PC with XP. Once I find a place that I can buy XP at a reasonable price I will apply.
keystrokes work situation
you must be on a different acct than me.....
Keystrokes work situation
I work on an ortho account...maybe just depends which account you get. Sorry not working out so well for you.
