Someone below asked why no posts about KS lately? I can answer for me at least. sm
I used to post on here as a cheerleader for KS but was always bashed so I stopped posting. I went to the owner of the company about the bashing, and she responded that while she used to get upset by this board and others like it, she stopped paying attention to it and decided that if someone had a decision to make, they would make that decision based on facts, not on an anonymous board. She advised that I not take it personally, but I still did.
About 15 months ago, another company contacted me and promised the moon. I asked KS to match it, and they would not, so I left. I became one of the nay say'ers thinking that they did not care enough to make a valuable employee stay and still did not have insurance that was affordable.
Fast forward a year. The company I left for did not live up to any promises. I applied for, was hired at and worked for a month or two or even three for five more companies in 10 months.
Last December, I decided to swallow my pride and go to the owner of Keystrokes to ask if I could come back. She sent me to the recruiter who made me reapply, send my resume, answer the question sheet and take the test. She then offered me my position back on a different account and my same pay rate. I jumped on it and have not regretted it for one second.
I love my job, love Keystrokes and plan on staying for a very long time. The grass is NOT greener on the other side!
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer

Asked for a raise; no answer in a month
I don't know what to do and thought someone's expertise could help me. I have been at my company over a year. I am the primary Transcriptionist on the account and keep it afloat. When others don't get their work done they call on me and I do their work also. Extra work, I do it. I asked for a raise 4 weeks ago and I am getting the run around. I keep being sent to another person, another person, now this person knows, no now back to that person, etc. I just want an answer!!! I feel like I am pestering them now but I feel I deserve an answer either way. What more can I do? I sent 2 emails last week and have had no response now.
Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.
You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible. Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period?
Hey, Donna D. asked a question and I gave an answer...
so why don't you smite Donna D. for keeping the thread going. 
How do you get a hold of Administration
Do not jump on me. I am trying to ask a legitimate question and would appreciate a correct (not guess) response. I did look all over the Board and could not find a link. If I missed it, my bad. If not, can someone help me, since I do not want to get YELLED at for asking a stupid question about a company.
Requesting Assistance:
How do you get a hold of a Moderator or Administration?
Regarding:
Using the Search For on the Board.
Question:
Are there any parameters that cannot be searched?
Yes, I am using the Search For box to the right of the Post A New Message box, and not the Google Search.
What I have found:
When I try to search for companies that commonly go by acronyms (for example OSi or UST), I do not get any hits at all even though I can see that they were just discussed a few inches down the page (I still want to see if there is any other information available from previous posts). If I search for US Transcription – all the results have the word transcription but not UST or US Transcription.
It seems to me that the search word has to be at least 4 characters or it will not find anything. Is that correct, or am I just doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
MTStars administration says time and again...s/m
MT Stars has said time and time again to NEVER correct other posters misspellings and/or incorrect grammar.
Play nicely now, or don't you all know how to follow the rules, which, by the way, are for everyone!
Big facilities contract out MT through administration. Drs have no say, they dont pay the bill.
:+
And that is the problem with administration deleting negative posts about a company.
nm
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.
I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.
Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!
When they called me and I asked them if they offshored, they asked me why that was my business!

Meridian and Transolutions.. ESPECIALLY Transolutions
xx
I can answer that question with a simple answer!
Strengths - none.
Weakness - all.
Sad but true. You're asked to work NOW, then asked to stop NOW, then go again and then stop
If you dont get off the minute the hospital asks, even if you have no idea that they have requested that your to be off, then the hospital MTs steal your work right out of your queue and I mean reports you have already done. I dont understand the concept of having a contract with a hospital and then having to fight for work with the hospital MTs. We should have guaranteed work during our shift and enough of the the hospital wants you to help right now and then a few hours later they want us to stop working as the work is too low. It is crazy and I couldnt work like that so I had to quit.
Transolutions
I have been with Transolutions for over 2-1/2 years and cannot speak highly enough about them. They have stuck with me thru thick and thin due to personal health issues; I am averaging $18-$20 an hour; the medical insurance is the best I've ever had; they spend time and money helping MTs get proficient and productive and grow in their careers, etc. They are offering a referral bonus through September 21 for anyone I refer and is hired. If you are considering this company, please drop me a line, and I'll answer all your questions. I would appreciate the opportunity for the referral. Thanks! Donna The website is www.transolutions.net
Transolutions...
Well, my dear, MQ has thousands of MTs, some of whom have been there over 10 years - but it doesn't sound like they do anything right!!!!!!!
If that company is a good fit for you, more power to you. But, just because someone else didn't like them doesn't mean it was a "personality conflict" or "Degree of professionalism" issue.
If you really want referrals, you might try being a little less condescending.
Transolutions
If anyone is working for this company, please email me and tell me what it is like to connect with them, etc. thanks
Transolutions
Been there almost 2 years - very happy. I am former MQ'r, always astounded when MQ/Spheris types say they think there is no better place to work than those 2 crap companies. Transolutions has paid time off, (I'm part-time and accrue hours). They have paid holidays off -- you will be required to work holidays and alternate, i.e. you work July 4, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day one year, then the next you work New Year's Day, Labor Day, Christmas -- I may have mixed them up, but in any event, you get paid holiday/bonus for working holidays, they PROVIDE your equipment even if you're part time, they reimburse your phone line, they have you set it up with a specific phone company -- I forget its name. But they do pay it. If you are FT, they have health, dental, I believe life ins. They will reimburse for AAMT CMT exam after you pass it (Full time). Also, referral bonus if you recommend someone and they get hired. Discounts on all reference books/materials you buy through them (I think 40%), you have mandatory 1 weekend day with weekend shift differential, and that's just off top of my head. Oh, cash bonuses on your anniversary every year you are with them, which go up each year. Their standards are higher than anyplace I've ever worked, but that is a good thing. I think quality should count for more than it does with previously mentioned MTSOs. I think you would like them. Oh, and PAID training for 1 week before you actually start first official paid day with them. A guaranteed line rate during probationary period. Also, plenty of work. Also, you are considered FT at 32 hrs/wk which means you are eligible for full complement of bennies. Let folks say Spheris, MQ are as good as it gets -- that just means more GOOD MT/MLS jobs for the enlightened among us! Go for it!
Transolutions QA
I just left the company for various reasons, but I did take umbrage with the recent QA changes. I have been an MT for less than a year. The lowest QA score I received was a 95, and I was horrified at that. It does make me feel a bit better to know a person with 20 years experience was having a tough time, too.
Transolutions
Transolutions..Thank you..sm
In spite of the fact that I quit them after 3 weeks, they did pay me the signon bonus. I appreciate that!
Transolutions
Does anyone have any information on Transolutions? I remember a while back hearing that the platform was a little outdated. Has that changed at all? Any other opinions?
TIA! 
Transolutions
The platform is not a little outdated, it is a lot outdated! The office staff treat you like you are in kindergarten. Also, the benefits are good but are very expensive. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.
Transolutions
Is anyone working for Transolutions who has been affected by the recent change to QA guidelines, on-hold percentages, and possible resultant lower pay?
Transolutions QA
Yes, I have been affected. It is scaring me. I have been a 98%, 99% employee for 5 years and now I feel like I am under the gun. Also, have you been having a problem with no work? The place has not been the same since Cynthia Jones left.
Transolutions QA
Yes, I am being affected by lower pay. It is very demoralizing. I am thinking of going back to school, because transcription has become a dead end job.
same here for Transolutions
I am experiencing the same thing. In all of their mailed info about this they said the AAMT standard calls for a higher percentage of documentation to be reviewed for more accuracy for QA. My last QA (93%) was TWO reports. That sure isn't a higher percentage. With the higher standards, of course your QA would go down. Plus, don't they use that current QA score for more than one pay period? Accurate and fair tracking of all of this seems impossible to me. There are other companies out there. I know that loss of 3 weeks paid vacation is lousy. You would be starting over, but maybe it would be worth it to work for a company with an established history of consistency in their guidelines, etc. My pay was way down from what it was also. Does not seem fair to me. Have you emailed, written and called? Does it do any good??
Transolutions
The thing that worries me is the changes in personnel. I have had 3 or 4 different QA people in the last couple of months. People seem to be coming and going. This last time I had a great QA, the time before that it was 96%. I was QA'd on a secondary account I am not all that familiar with. The response from the personnel who answer the phones is not very nice sometimes, either.
Transolutions
I agree. Nice people, but not worth it.
Transolutions does

Some of their accounts require DSL now. I think most are in the process of switching over to that as a matter of fact. May be some old-timers on old accounts still on the old system though.
Transolutions
Does anyone have info on Transolutions, especially doing Radiology reports? Do they calculate pay for Radiology reports with lines or per report? Also, is it difficult to meet QA standards? TIA
Does Transolutions? (nm)

don't plan on making a fortune. I know there are those who will say they do but you'd better be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort into it to do that.
Transolutions
Nerve-wracking experience to me. Had 11 yrs experience when I started with them,now working for another much less stressful MTSO (16 yrs).In addition to binders described, they mandate you read their bi-weekly, lengthy and -- sorry, can you say B-O-R-I-N-G -- medical newsletter in your downtime (JMHO. Way more info than most MTs need or want re: MT bios (who cares how **Jane** who lives in Indiana got into MT work or who her role models are), but more pertinently there was medical info that went way beyond what is relevant to MT'g -- which I know some may find interesting. I found keeping up with mounds of acct. specifics to pore over, company style guidelines, newsletter in downtime, and reviewing corrected reports also in your downtime could be stressful, time-consuming and,in the end, up to you if it's worth it. Very rigid chain-of-command. Don't mistakenly ask wrong person a question, you will be referred to the RIGHT person -- if you can keep track of who they are -- with the admonishment not to ask wrong person again (Let lightning flash and thunder clap here. You may thrive on it. If you have a life outside of MTing, look elsewhere. If you love MTing so much that doing it in off-hours is a privilege for you, go for it. This was case when I worked there -- so can't say what it's like now. Sorry, know post is long -- you wanted detailed experience -- here you are!
Transolutions
My thread was deleted. I guess it was because it was on the Main Board instead of the Company Board, so I'm trying again. I was inquiring about how things are currently at Transolutions. Yes, I did a search on prior threads. I had heard that they discontinued providing equipment and paying for downtime. That is a biggie for me as having no work is no excuse for not paying my bills. Anyone know? Thanks! 
Transolutions sm
Hard to meet line count.
TRANSOLUTIONS, SORRY!
TRANSOLUTIONS!!!! Any info, please!
Transolutions
Anyone know if they've updated their platform? I always read that it was pretty outdated? Also wondering about starting rate of pay, benefits, etc. Sounds like they offer good time off. Thanks!
Transolutions, Inc.
So many positives to being employed with Transolutions, I cannot begin to tell you. Would strongly encourage experienced, quality-focused MLSs to apply.
Transolutions
I know you were asking about another company, but if you haven't found one yet, I'd like to recommend Transolutions. This company has more to offer than any I have worked for in the past. Also, they pay very, very well. You get PTO, one week of sick time, 3 days of personal time. Their benefits are the cheapest of the companies I've worked for in the past. Training is very thorough. The President of the company himself of the company has bimonthly conference calls with the MTs. They're very friendly and professional. I HIGHLY recommend this company. They want you to make a lot of money at this company and will recognize your quality and expertise.
Try Transolutions
:-)
transolutions
I'm very happy with Transolutions-plenty of work, good benefits, responsive management, good tech support. The company does have high standards with regard to the quality of the work being done and they don't send garbage back to the client. They actually respect what we do and that's a very nice feeling. I will have been with them 2 years in November. I finally dumped Spheris after wasting 7 years with them. In the last two years there were entirely too many supervisor changes (6 supervisors in 2 years), account changes (would sometimes be assigned more than 9 different accounts in 1 night. Try to build any production with that, minimal lines on each report (20 to 30 jobs with 20 to 30 lines each on 10 different accounts! Loss of accounts, taking on more work than they can handle and impossible to earn a living any more with them. Suspect a good portion of the work now being outsourced. Leaving them was the best decision I ever made. Have no qualms about recommending Transolutions.
Transolutions
Does anyone know if Transolutions pays for spaces? FT = 32 hours with benefits. I like that. What internet platform do they use?
Thanks,
Looks like I'm going with Transolutions.
hope I'm making the right choice. :(
transolutions
Wow, I applied there, and they sent me their platform to test on my computer. what a wonderful group of people, really fair (above average) line rates, great price on insurance. hope that helps.
Transolutions
I see Transolutions is hiring, and their ad says their pay structure has changed. Does anyone know how it has changed? My guess is that it has something to do with the Apex format, but judging by past posts I've read, you still only make peanuts per report on that system.
