I've heard only positive things about them. So, I applied, but haven't heard a word. Maybe fl

I've heard good things about both...sm
but which one pays better? I'm curious to know too as I thought about applying for eMTS. Let us know. TIA
I've heard good things about MDI.
Sorry, I'm not part time so that's all I can offer. Felt I should write something as poster below didn't seem to realize this company board is for asking and discussing companies.
Do you mean Axolotl? If so, I've heard many good things about them. nm

I have no idea...ask MTME. I've heard bad things about MDI-MD and am not interested! n/m

Fast Chart pay. Anyone know if they pay decent? I have heard mixed reveiws and not sure what to
think. Do they pay on time?
Meditech platform
Can anyone give some information on Meditech program? I just started an account that uses it. They have not told me about any type of shortcuts/macros, etc. Do I need to get an Expander software? thanks!
Meditech platform
What is the problem with the Meditech platform?
Never heard of MDI-MD using Meditech - only Bayscribe that I know of.

Question about Meditech Magic Platform
I have been working for Keystrokes for about a week now and love it. Yesterday, they offered to set me up with a secondary account in case my main account is ever low on work. Currently, I am working in EXText and I love it, but my second account would be in Meditech Magic using a C-phone, which I am purchasing through KS for $100 through 2 installment payments. Is this an easy platform to use? Are the patient demographics already filled on? Does it take a long time to learn? Just thought I would check!
What version of Meditech does KS use? I've
read that the old Meditech version is horrible, but that Meditech Magic is much better. I think there is also a Pro version too.
TransHealth has never used the Meditech platform. I think you're confused. nm
Here's a few places I've noted that use Meditech...sm
Ascend, Accentus, DataKey, DeVenture (some accts.), Keystrokes (some accts.), MDI - Florida (some accts.), NEMT (some accts.), Philbrick Transcriptions, PMSI in Alabama, SA Wynn, SPI/Cymed, Superior Global (maybe in conjunction with ExText, and Synthescribe... so far. nm
I've only heard of Intellitype. Never heard of Teletype.

What the heck? I've never heard that in the 8 yrs I've worked here. sm
Go back to your STM or over his or her head.
The only things I heard about them
 and the test is long and tedious and then you have to work I believe an entire month before your first paycheck.
Because of all the great things I have heard here - sm
I just finished filling out my paperwork for Futurenet. I have been looking for 3 months, contemplated many offers and turned down many offers. I think this is just what I am looking for.
The autocorrect that you use - is this the feature that is in the word program? I was told that there is a word Expander in their program. Do they mean Autotext? If so, is it easy to use? Thanks!
I have heard good things - sm
I even spoke to the owner on the phone - SUPER nice. I couldn't take the position right now due to personal reasons but would definitely go with them in the future if need be. A current employee likes it there that I spoke to.
I heard great things too
which is why I am so hesitant to even consider looking elsewhere. Hope we hear something tomorrow. Feel free to email if you find out anything.
I had heard so many great things about KS too, though
it was mainly only a couple of MTs that posted. I want to do more than be an MT and I thought KS would be a good company that I could advance with.
It just did not turn out to be a good experience for me. They talked a good talk, but they never followed through with the raises or anything else. I never ever got paid for OT, yet was asked to work extra during my work days and asked to work on my scheduled days off. I worked because I needed the money, but 8 cpl just wasn't worth it. I also had a lead that wasn't very good and you might as well have talked to the wall.
I think there are worse companies out there and if you are coming from MQ they might seem pretty good. If you go back and reread your post it sounds like it is a no brainer.
I heard good things about them, but I have to
I really do not like that Oak site, I have tested through that before and lots of hoops to jump through... I don't know if I have the time to take it, the company would have to be really really worth it for me to take the time to test with that software. Just my 2c.
I've done all those things (sm)
The Labor Dept. investigation has been going on since last May, and I immediately contacted SS when I found that discrepancy. Just trying to let others know so they can watch for similar problems. Thanks.
I've been a QA 15 years and I've never heard
of any company only paying for the actual Keystrokes of the blank. You would literally make less than minimum wage that way. Waaay less.
I have heard only good things about MDI-FL and have talked to the sm
owners myself. They seem to be very nice people who care about their transcriptionists. They are MTs themselves, something that helps in this business.
I know they have grown this past year. They probably found the two or three MTs that move from company to company, always finding fault and always bashing the one they quit or were terminated from. It is just MDI-FL's turn to be bashed. I am sure that most people reading this board take it all with a grain of salt.
If you love the company you work for - stay with them. Obviously you found a great fit. I am fortunate enough to have MTs like love working for us (not saying who I am as I promised my staff I would stay away from here) and fortunate enough to have applicants that don't take the bashing on these boards as gospel.
Heard good things about Landmark, so went sm
to their website. It states you must work both Saturday and Sunday. I might have read it wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it said.
I would love a M-F job and wouldn't mind working one weekend day, but not both.

I've seen mostly good things on here...
I just signed on with them and am excited to get started. :D
What kind of changes? I am looking to apply there and have heard good things. I don't want
to go in blind, but all the postings are so vague. Can you give me an example so I can decide for myself?
I have heard good things about New England in the past
don't know if that has changed. I would also throw in a vote for TransTech. After cycling through several other companies, I have finally found a home with Transtech and I am very happy there.
What a shame, I had always heard good things about QT Medical. (sm)
I hope they had been kind enough to forewarn their employees or at least provide severance pay. Good luck to all their people. Many people hiring hope you all find a good home quickly.
I have heard terrible things about SoftScript. I was hired by them, but..
Was really appalled with what they asked. Did you see that disclaimer yet? Veto.
Evidently, we at Webmedx are to believe things are going well. So well, in fact, we will have a special meeting. Ha. Can't wait.
Agree with the above poster that those are never good. Some are distracted by the whole rah-rah atmosphere. But most of us know we are screwed.
I would think Web folks are less srewed than SS, though.
first, don't hate on me because I've figured things out... and it really CAN be done...
I work 16-17 hour days. I average about 50.75 an hour for all 4 companies. I also get incentives. I work 6 days a week. I have 2 kids, a husband and 2 dogs. and I make the most of my 1 day a week off. I work hours that nobody wants, accounts everyone hates and I have it in the bag with normals, short cuts and everything else that boosts my productivity. And there you have it. And in spite of the explanation, there will still be people saying bull crap ... fine, say it ... but don't hate someone because they have it put together in a tight package that works for them. I spent 19 years eating crap from horrible companies, etc. I finally got the right mix and I'll work it until it doesn't work anymore
I've head a lot of good things...sm
About Axolotl. Do you happen to have any info. on which specialties they are hiring for? I haven't seen any job ads for them.
I also heard something about them not paying for spaces. Can you comment on that?
Thank you!
You never said any of those things. I've followed this entire thread
nm
I have heard really bad things from QA about our overflow that goes to Amherst. Not good quality and
clients complaining because the MTs that are getting the work are making mistakes and not reading the client profile. Good way to lose accounts.
I have heard nothing but good things about Webmedx, but no personal experience NM

Never heard of that platform
I have never heard of that platform. Is it similar to any of the other platforms? Is it easy to make your lines on? Thanks in advance
Evidently things haven't changed since I left. Sounds like they've gotten worse - LOL
nm
Heard their platform is SLOW.
Any details on that? If you can't make enough lines, then the extra money isn't really worth it, is it? Also, do they not provide equipment anymore? THANKS!
This is the first I've heard about it...sm
and why would someone leave the company over QA problems? If they're not a good MT then that's not the company's fault.
I've heard of them, go for it. nm

Yes I've heard of them
and worked for Tanya for awhile. She is extremely, extremely nice and amicable, but it just wasn't the job for me. Hope this helps.
I've heard both yes and no, so I'm not sure. Most say yes. nm

I've always heard...sm
that there are an average of 10 five-letter words in a 65-character line, which would mean there are also 10 (or 9 possibly) spaces you are paid for. So 55 characters without spaces would probably be about the same as as 65-character line.
I've done a few checks on reports by dividing number of words by 10 to get total lines and/or number of characters divided by 65 to get total lines and it is pretty close to a 65-character line with spaces... not always, because a lot depends on what you're transcribing, whether it uses a lot of big words or small words, etc., but I think overall it pretty much averages out. You'd have to try it and do the comparison on that particular account or work type to find out for sure. Hope this helps.
I've never heard of that (sm)
I had contacted Sprint to see if DSL was available and it wasn't. I guess I'll call them back to inquire about that. Thank you.
10-15 cpl for CMT? The most I've ever heard sm
was a half a cent or three quarters of a cent more than without the CMT. I'd also question how much this person actually knows if she has to point out that CMT needs to be through AHDI/AAMT and not college, MT school, etc.? I mean, last I heard there is only one place to obtain CMT cert.
thanks...I've never even heard of that before
I've never heard of that either.
We get paid per line, but like the AP said, we get credit for the full report. I have never heard of anyone that gets paid per correction. That's nuts.
I'm not really sure about PT. I've heard that they do or they used to and don't (sm)
anymore. You could go to their website www.keystrokestranscription.com and either contact them by e-mail or phone. I'm sorry, I wish I could answer you but I really don't know for sure.
I've heard the same about them.
Plus, my company is losing several accounts to them. They do offshore quite a bit of their work which is why they can boast low rates for clients.
I've always heard it used
as in jockeying for position, as in jones'n around to strike the first blow in a cat fight.
