Could anyone tell me if they pay per report, how much they start you with and if there are increases along the way. Have seen past post with different amounts and have seen a post in the archives stating 1.25 per report and 1.25 more for reports over 2 minutes long.

Is Keystrokes a big company or small? I am thinking of applying. Time to leave the Q. nm
The sad thing is that I do not even think they would notice if I left. I am a high producer but not very vocal and they seem to have forgotten about me :(

I work every sunday now, and I would really like my weekends free. I also don't like the software too much, and I have to pay LD.
Thanks for all the info you gave me.

I was thinking of applying
Do they pay more than 3 cpl for editing? I need to make some money and that's the best offer I've seen so far and it's pitiful from what I've read on the boards.
Was thinking about applying at Transcend.
I've heard a lot about VR and the VR platform. Are all their accounts on this?
I was thinking about applying for this company

What line count problem? I'm thinking about applying
nm
Wow. One of my friends was thinking of applying there. I'll have to caution her!
I had no idea they were so bad! They offered me a position a year ago, but I turned it down and ended up going with Keystrokes, and I'm glad that I did! They kick you off the system when there is low work? That's screwed up!
Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
MDI-FL. thinking of applying. Is medical insurance still high? That is what has stopped me before
I cant remember what the cost was but it seemed to be be high for single and family coverage. Anyone know?
Does Transcription, Technology, & Support send work to India? Thinking of applying if not.
Does anybody know.
Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
Radiology IC position
I am looking for a part-time IC position with flexible hours transcribing radiology reports. Do anyone own of a company?
Thanks!
looking for prn radiology position
I'm hoping and praying for a prn-type/part-time radiology position too. I have over 12 years experience and work in the Radiology Admin office. I can do progress/chart notes but I find I'm in Google and this slows me down. I can do a ton of rad reports/US/CT/MRI/Angio/Nuc Med's, etc quickly. I've worked for Keystrokes and others before but waste too much time on too many dictators and learning new words and new drugs (I was only promised 5 dictators!).... But, I've read that most places are going to VR. My hospital is resisting it so far, but due to the Economy they are cutting down OT. I'm available nights and weekends to type.
Thinking about taking an IC position, any helpful hints???
Never have had an IC position, but thinking about one. Company is Surgical Notes, but can't really find any info regarding good, bad or otherwise. I have not yet tested for this company but they have sent a couple of forms to sign. I am hesitant because of this. Seems the order of business would be to test, discuss the position and then sign some type of confidentiality/disclosure agreement and contract, would that be correct? Thanks for any insight.
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
If you are referring to the radiology position,
no way would I do that for $1 per minute. Some normal reports might be 10 secs long.
TransTech Radiology MT Position
Anyone heard back from them?

be appreciated such as work availability, etc.

MQ Houston office closing? I was thinking about applying but I just heard that they are closing
the Houston office soon. What's going on with them?
Keystrokes Rad position
The pay is $1.10 per report.
Keystrokes position....
I was just offered a position with Keystrokes.....WOOHOOOOOO  ...I'm excited but scared too. Anyone who works for them that can offer some advise I would be extremely grateful. Have to get high speed internet before the weekend but that shouldn't be a problem and they are sending me a Lanier system to use. Just have the new job jitters and could use some reassurance from others who work for them. Thank you.
Keystrokes position
I have decided that I am not going to take this position with Keystrokes. It has been 8 days since contacted, I have faxed back all my employee paperwork and was told that they are waiting on my ID from the hospital that I would be working for. That was 5 days ago and still I haven't heard anything. I got a response back from Becky B. but not from Annette L. who I take it would be my sup. Sorry but I can't raise a family on we are waiting to get your ID and then we will send your Lanier.
I accepted a position with another company making 11 cpl (more than KS) and no minimum requirements who said they could get me started on Monday. Sorry, but I need to make money and can't do that when a company can't even tell you when you can start. To bad too, I was really excited about KS. Oh well, win some, lose some.
Considering position with Keystrokes....
I was offered a position on an account that uses word...I assume this means they do not have a platform. Also, I will be using a C-phone which I have not used in years.
I have transcribed for a company or two that did not have a platform, and felt like I was not able to get up to full speed.
Anyone out there working for Keystrokes typing in Word and using a C-phone, transcribing over 400 lines per hour? I saw some posts below, but not sure if that is with a platform such as DocQScribe or Extext.
Thanks for any input.
Thinking of going with Keystrokes but need to know if this is a good move
Can anyone tell me anything about Keystrokes? Good to work for, personal, friendly, organized, plenty of work, etc. I really do not want to jump into another bad situation after just getting out of one for the last 8 years. Any info is greatly appreciated.
.DCT files for Keystrokes position
I am trying to test for a position at Keystrokes and I cannot open up a .DCT file on my wave player. Can any MT who works for Keystrokes help me with these types of files? Thanks!
Keystrokes Radiology
Wow! What a web site! New to me as I have not begun working from home yet. Hey, Listen .... I am very excited to be taking on a new Radiology Transcription position with Keystrokes in the near future. I'd love to be prepared for the job and ready to kick out as many reports as possible on my first day of work. I have received the USB foot control, but am not yet set up to work. However, if there's anyone out there that could give me some "preparedness pointers" PRIOR to my first day of work, I'd sure appreciate it. (Currently still working in a hospital setting). Thank you kindly!
Keystrokes for radiology and I have tried others. nm
