In Reply to: I'm still there, but trying to stay - under the radar. sm
 what it should have been. I've no complaints at all about this company. The account is picky but that is not Amphion, that is their client. Besides, that what I get paid to do. To each their own I guess.

This is not true of all QA...if I see something blatantly wrong in the report...
I point it out whether it was marked to check or not...we are not talking commas and periods...we are talking leaving out words, et cetera...
Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

You are wrong about the account. KS dumped the account for several reasons. sm
It happened quickly and was unexpected but it was really for the best. Keystrokes does not string people along or lie to you. After being with MQ for too long, I am happy there, although it is not for everyone.
I really would give them a call as the other poster suggested. That whole situation was a nightmare for everyone including management but the account pulled a fast one on them.
I have the facts on this because I have a good friend at the hospital and what she told me matched what my manager did.
I know that they are trying to give more when so many companies are giving less and taking away more.
Every report has the name of the account
at the top. Every single one. Maybe you should have slowed down and taken more time on your first two days of work. They call it training for a reason.
I have a by-the-line rad report with them and have great counts! sm
I think that some accounts need to be by the line and some by the report. My backup account has short reports and by the report makes more sense by primary has a lot of rads who like their own voices so by the line is definitely better. I do a minimum of 1500 lines a day and I do not work over 8 hours as I have a disabled husband.
Radiology by the line for one account and by the report sm
for another. I make more by the report though.
Not my C-phone account. Just got a backlog report
x
I think they are paying per report on the account they are hiring for now, They
usually pay 1.20 to 1.30 per report plus they also have a productivity incentive where you can earn about an additional ten cenrs per report. Great people. I would definitely give them a try.
$2.50/report own account - .17/line small MTSO
Rad pays by line and by report, depending on the account
I have had rad accounts at Keystrokes pay both ways. I haven't heard of one that pays for reports over 2 minutes, but it all depends on the client. Your starting rate typically depends on your experience. Everyone at Keystrokes is super-nice, you will like working with them. Agree with poster who said get a backup account from day 1. Getting IDs for your account can take quite a bit of time, so be prepared to wait. Good luck.
Hmm..If this is the radiology account, I thought they were paying on a per-report basis..sm
I worked for them for a little over a week and we were being paid per report. Must be a different account they were recenting hiring for or either they changed the pay structure.
At any rate, my experience was less than grand as well.
My account is so good, I feel as if I'm cherry-picking with every report....
Sorry, but I actually started today and my account is FABULOUS. Every report I've had today has been so easy to edit, I feel like I'm cherry picking, although this account obviously just has fabulous dictators as they are randomly falling into my cue.
I knew someone would try to rain on my TT parade.
Glad I've got a HUGE umbrella :-)
Great... *** is wrong with these companies? Ugh..nm
It could be that you are on the wrong account, there is a lot of work.
Things are busy. If you'd like, send me a private e-mail. I think I can help.
Still wrong. I just said that because when someone is nasty, it spills into the account and others
I agree about rarely visiting. I am off today and it is like watching a soap opera. I can't seem to pull away even though I have a lot of other things I should be doing. I have a rare day with no kids or husband home, off work, no plans. Idle hands :)
Not one account lost in over 3 years. You're wrong. sm
They just chose not to bid on one that went to voice recognition but have had 100% renewal on contracts.
again, you are wrong; depends on account; if you're doing demos, then
nm
I had the same experience. Horrible account, nonexistent communication. What's wrong with these
nm
Maybe you asked the wrong person. I am sure that not everyone is privy to all account information.
I know that there are at least 2 more in the works, being converted over. How do I know? I am the lead on one of them and have been involved with the conversion for the past 3 weeks.
The only people who know would be KB, LT and PG for sure as they handle sales and operations.
Yes that was the account I was on and it was GREAT account...sm
So if they are going to mess several things up: 1) Pay for their employees, 2) Losing a big account like that one, 3) Hiring supervisors that just wanted to chit-chat and lose production then I would think that is NOT a company to go for. But I had to learn it the hard way - having my payday be weeks late during Christmastime. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt for 2 more paydays - they were late also....
I'm on a great account that is always busy - sm
It is a hospital in Maryland and has very easy docs. If you get hired, maybe they will put you on that hospital account. Super duper easy. Very few ESLs. I am making my line count is 5-6 hours and I have been on the account for 10 months.
The account isn't so great, but DocQscribe is the best. nm
Sounds like you have a great VR account
but very demanding management. Just like you wouldn't work for companies where the VR is really bad, I wouldn't work for a company that demanded I not erase and retype. They're already cutting my pay...I'm not going to stand for them telling me I need to lose more money by doing it their way only, especially if the end product is the exact same.
They may be hiring for a large ESL account still. Great
company. They provide all equipment/software. Pay for downtime. QA pretty strict, just maintain minimum score of 98.5, 1200 lpd/12,000 per pay period. DD, on-time. Insurance starts the first day of the month after you start, very reasonable premiums.
I would go with the great money account personally. SM
Would mind sharing the name of the company or are you IC?
working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm

Sorry to hear that because that was a good account with great normals. Hope
you find a new home where you will be appreciated and with good line counts!
I miss YOG also! Good company, great line rate, and awesome account.

I find the sound quality not so great on some accounts. I guess it depends on what account you get
on.
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

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.

Hmmm
I was looking at the backlog, as I am working on my private account (non-MDI) right now, but when I went in to pull up an actual job, it showed no jobs. I have never seen this happen before, so I am wondering if there is a glitch in the system preventing accessing the work. I have emailed my liaison to find out what is going on. Maybe that's the problem, not that there isn't work, but that you can't access it at the moment? Which would explain the mounting minutes.
Hmmm...
Again, do you or anyone here actually represent this company's upper management group? How old are you -- 12??? How do you actually have enough time to give a crap about a forum and what's being said??? COME ON!!!
Laurie: Don't you have a JOB to do??? LOL
hmmm....sm
it seems to me that since this person/company had not paid his ICs or employees for such a long time and that he lied to them about the *check being in the mail*, that the cost to overnight it should be on his head. If he had paid on time, it wouldn't be necessary to overnight anything...and since when does it cost $25 to overnight something the size of a business envelope???!!! talk about a ripoff. and you're on HIS side?? geezzz. you wouldn't be so congenial if it was YOUR money he had not sent.
hmmm wonder who?
OPS is under a lot of heat about jobs out of Turn Around Time but the supervisors should definately not do that without offering overtime.
Hmmm....not right.
They were probably getting you to do live work for free. There is no way I would do that many jobs for a test.
Hmmm...not sure who to believe now sm
How much experience do you have to get that offer? Also, is this for straight typing? I'm not sure who to believe now. I just know there is no way I would work for 7 or 8 cpl unless I was a brand new MT! Thanks!
hmmm...I wonder if that would be --sm
80% conVICTS on parole and 20% professionals? I didn't get it either, but it has something to do with parole, so I was thinking prison. maybe the OP will explain.
hmmm
I emailed with a few times today. Maybe your email got lost. I know they have a few different platforms and that's about it.
hmmm
Guess that particular company realized that they just lost a dependable employee who dumped them instead of the other way around...you go girl...and good luck with your endeavors!
hmmm
I hope that's not the case, because then I'm out almost $200. They should have told me that. Sneaky.
Hmmm
I apologize if I came off as being hateful. It was not my intention. I merely asked how long you had been a transcriptionist. Work can be overflowing all the time. Transtech has a lot of WONDERFUL accounts and like I said in my previous post it will only be a minute before it's back and you are able to get all the lines you want. Again, I apologize if my post sounded rude. That is not my intention and it's not like me to try to belittle or put someone down.
Hmmm
I wonder if they have a clue why they are always looking for help, Ya think.
hmmm.
No, I disagree with you again. Not everyone wants to be a part of the inner workings, they just want to know if they will have a job when all is said and done. I have been through a buyout. I have seen how the fact that hundreds of people are going to lose their jobs is kept secret. While I am not saying this is the case at Webmedx, I am saying that it happens EVERY DAY, so people need to look out for themselves and not be so naive. It isn't so much a matter of not agreeing with a process, it is a matter of being told you don't have a job anymore. Point blank.
Hmmm - sm
Sounds to me more like you quit if she offered you work and you refused. Think she's already printed off a copy of that post???
Hmmm
I would NEVER accept a position who offers less than 9 cpl to me, but even that is a slap in the face. I am so done with this crap. MT was so profitable in the 80s, now it is nothing comparable but to working at McDonald's.
Hmmm
The OP stated she doesn't like to read negative posts. So, you come and attack me? Sounds like you need to look in the mirror. Furthermore, you know more about temper tantrums than I've had experience with in my lifetime with your description. Sounds like you may be talking about yourself.
Kind of funny how you are against attacking, but you attack me. NICE! REAL NICE!
Are you the one that never got any attention because your post sure sounds like it? LOL yourself... 
Hmmm, not sure (SM)
My husband has a part time job and FICA and Medicare are taken out. We do not report his earnings to Social Security but he still has taxes taken out, and that seems to be required according to the reference in my original post.
Interestingly, his SS check does increase a little bit each year based on the earnings he had in the previous year.
It seems like those 2 references are saying 2 different things, so I don't get it. ????
