Lots and lots of work. You will love
XY?Z
I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
Makes a big difference when you can actually say, "I love my job." :-) sm
I recently switched jobs, and for the first time in a VERY long time, I actually look forward to working. I love the people, the pay is good, and I love the work (cardiology). I also have found out I am much more productive as an IC, working when I want, which actually turns out to be more hours than a straight 8 hours somewhere as an employee, but it doesn't seem like it is so much because I work whenever I want to (like right now when I am up at 3 a.m.!).
I'm glad you found a company you're happy with. I have always heard good things about AccuStat. It is nice to see positive posts instead of just the negative.
LOVE teaching hospitals, makes you a better MT. NM

I love Transcend. Lots of work, sm
great communication, flexibility.
I absolutely love it and make lots of $$$ on it. sm
Been working with eScription for about 6 years now and absolutely love it. Would not want to go back to straight transcription ever.
I also make great money with it ~ at least $50 an hour, consistently.
I count my blessings every day!
Lots of people work for Adept and LOVE us
Would Adept hire you back? It's a two-way street, you know? This is irresponsible.
Yes, I agree. It makes you wonder what this company is really up to.
:
I agree. It makes me sick to come to these boards and see there is
always someone with a grudge or nothing better to do with their time than to bash a company - any company. It's sickening. A company that is right for some people isn't always right for everyone but bashing doesn't solve anything. In fact, it could be called slander and libel.
Agree with hmm, no perfect MT, everyone makes mistakes, as do computers
and when do they are usually a lot worse...
I totally agree MT30 is an MTSO and a bad one probably... one that makes you work sm
for pennies and on Christmas and every weekend even if your kid has a soccer game.
I agree. lots of e-mails but never answers to YOUR
I know many of you were low on work this week (get those every week) we are busy now (the weekend of course) and we expect you ALL to be making up your lines ....ummm??? Should I not have a life? Drop my Saturday plans and work all day?
Watch out, they only require 1 weekend day a week, but basically expect that you work all weekend because... you aren't being a team player like everyone else who works every weekend.
They didn't even answer IMs lol! Never nonsense IMs either, just asked if I could log on and make up work. Since I was always getting e-mails about my line counts.
If they changed and I had a different supervisor, might consider going back if I wasn't happy already.
Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
I agree. The line counter is a pain, but I've checked lots of reports against MS Word

I agree, i love those things too :)

I agree...I have been with them for 2 years and love them...
They are the best, for me at least!!!
Have to agree, love Transtech except ....
for tech people now. They are condescending and rude and half the time don't know what the problem is. I miss you-know-who!!!!!!!!
PS, still the best place to work.
Totally agree,I love ExText
I have been working in ExText for months and love it. All of my lines are very accurate and I make an awesome line count every day working in it. I wouldn't want to work on any other platform!
Agree. I would love to make $20 an hour
nm
Haha yen, love your post and agree completely with what you say!
I agree. Hate Transcend but love Robert..nm
nm
Agree, very happy there. Love my flexibility. Like the old Signal! Awesome. nm

I agree with Denise...I have also only been at Keystrokes for a shor time but I love it...it already
beats the company I was with before, and I was with them for a year-and-a-half...I can see if someone wanted an opinion about a company and you had a bad experience to share, but not just to get on here and say how horrible a company is...move on and good luck....
LOL I totally agree! I love your cat versus hairball analogy! :-) nm

I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm
the people are great. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.
agree, IMEs are great $$, easy reports, miss them, would love to find them
nm
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm

I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
during the holidays too. I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week. I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)
what makes them the best?
nm
It just makes me sad...
I love Christmas (at least what it's SUPPOSED to be like)and you're right about the commercialism ruining it. I try to avoid the mobs if I can. We've had 2 people in this area held up at gunpoint for X-box systems! Unreal! It's fun getting together and celebrating the season with family and such, but 'tis definitely the season to be greedy.
I don't think having your CMT makes you a better
MT and I've seen CMTs who did really lowsy work. I have never considered getting my CMT. I have always been told that I do top quality work and at companies that do pay a differential for having your CMT, I am paid the same rate. Some people need letters after their name for whatever reason.
What makes you think KS is any
different than the company you work for? Go ahead. Check them out, but don't come back here complaining.
Can you say what makes you think this.
I don't understand why people take the time to respond to questions but they really aren't telling you anything. If you have something to say...say it. But please only say what you know. I'm not interested in what one 'thinks'. If you 'know' it...let me hear it.
Thanks.
What makes me mad? sm
When new people get hired at a higher line rate and doing easy accounts.
What makes you so sure it is YOUR job? Maybe they just need more help
