In Reply to: KeystrokePro and Keystrokes Transcription Service are two different companies. sm - KS Rad MT
The UK but do work in the U.S. too. I could not find much except their website.
Keystrokes Transcription Service in Illinois has customers and transcriptionists all over the United States with no work sent out of the country. This is off their website. There are too - www.WeTypeXray.com and www.KeystrokesTranscription.com.

It's not word based - keystroke combos are different. NM

pay by keystroke
Pay by keystroke? Anyone familiar with this. I am concerned as I have only been paid in the past at cpl. I am currently being paid 10 cpl which I know is good in today's market and don't want to take a cut. I type approximately 1800-2000 lines per 8/hour shift.
keystroke pay
How does word Expander fit into this kepstroke pay approach?
keystroke
means just that, you are paid for the keys you actually hit. Thus "tp" with word Expander becomes "the patient" but you will be paid only for the "tp" you actually typed. I expect this to be universal in the not too distant future.
keystroke
keystroke means everything typed - characters, spaces, punctuation. I work for them and have found it to be right on par with getting paid on a per line basis.
If they pay by the keystroke, does that mean
that you don't get paid per character when using ShortHand or a PRD? For example, I'm thinking that if you typed asap for as soon as possible you would only get paid for 4 Keystrokes (the asap)?
Info. on Keystroke Pro?
Anybody know anything about Keystroke Pro? I believe they are based in the eastern U.S. and do mostly radiology accounts.
Info. on Keystroke Pro?
Thanks for the information. I wasn't looking for a job there, they just left me a message about doing work for our acute-care radiology department and I was just curious since I had never heard of that particular company.
Appreciate the response!
Keystroke treads - sm
Wonder how long before the threads about Keystrokes will stay on this board before they are removed, like all the rest disappear?
Keystroke expanders
Can anyone recommend a keystroke Expander software program? I have heard Instant Text and Shorthand are good.
getting paid by keystroke/DRC
I realize now there is a company named Keystroke, and I am not referring to that. I simply want to know what it means to be paid by the keystroke and how this correlates to cpl pay. Anyone with input on this? Is this different from being paid by the character and what happens with word Expander programs? Thanks.
Keystroke clarification..
I mean being paid by the keystroke, not the company Keystroke. Sorry for the confusion.
Keystroke MT: E-mail me please if -
you work on an OPs account only. Looking to find happy Keystrokes people on Ops accounts. Never met an unhappy KS person :) but would like to speak to someone who does the above type account. Thanks!!!
Keystroke Info
You may a wise choice, and welcome to Keystrokes! I will try to help you. I have only been there since January myself, so I cannot help on the day off question. However, there will be new health insurance in place by the time you are eligible. The owner of Keystrokes is working diligently to get the best rates and coverage. We still don't have that information yet, but we are reassured that we will be pleased with the new insurance. We also just started with AFLAC, but, again, I am not eligible for those benefits yet. I hope you get your other questions answered. I am very satisfied with company and hope to retire here. The owner actually encourages you to contact her with any concerns you need addressed. Again, welcome to Keystrokes!
Keystroke posters
It could also be because when they post questions on the other board which they are given access to when they begin working for KS - they are required to use the KS initials so that their supervisor can check up on them and see if they made an inquiry to the MTdaily board before leaving a blank. Then if they haven't - it's a reprimand. Been there - done that - glad it's over.
this must be a Keystroke representative...

Keystroke Questions
Have been an MT at MQ for 9 years, thinking of applying at KS where the MTs seem to be much happier. MQ provides all equipment so I am wondering just what I would need. I make 9 cpl now, would their pay be comparable? Would I need to purchase an expander? Do they pay less for editing? Any help is appreciated.
If every keystroke is counted, how could it not

message for Keystroke staff
How long did it take from the time you sent in your resume, answered all questions, and took the test to be notified if you were accepted (or not)?
Current Keystroke MT's - please read!
Why or why do they never get back to you? If I did lousy on their test (which I very much doubt) at least write and tell me! I've got 25 years experience. I am currently doing radiology (and have been for the last ten years) and heard that they were a great company. But they never, ever get back to you when you test, e-mail, etc. Is something going on there? Are they still good to work for? I don't want insurance even! Just looking for a decent employer, good line rate and pleasant co-workers. On my part I am a hard and dedicated employee looking for a great company to affiliate with. Anyone have any info???
Are Keystroke part times ICs? nm
the MT service you are referring to is Keystrokes, so you are fine with keystroke :)

I cannot say enough good things about Keystroke, not just one month but years
I remember when they were having growing pains and I was with another company and saw them on this board. Lee even got on to defend her company. At least she cared and nothing but good things have happened to this company. She still cares. Recently complaints were of running out of work and needing secondaries, and high insurance. She contacted all MTs and has been working on and from what I understand is correcting all that. She is a hands on owner and appears to deeply care for the Transcriptionist even though she cannot see our faces.
All of my posting is from hands on experiences and if for 2 years I can say this is where I want to retire after all the other companies I have had to go through, I am only trying to help and not post pie in the sky hoopla to rope anyone in. This is a down to earth, straight shooting company that I am sure is in it for profit but deeply cares for the transcriptionists who work for her and not make that profit while we eat 69 cent pot pies because our pay checks are so crummy. it takes time even for a good transcriptionists to get familiar with a new account but if the dictation is fairly distributed (I mean first in, first out, unless other arrangements are made between you and the company) then there is hope and a chance to make a living. I don't think it is fair to complete with your team leaders for dictation because they will always win and you will be left with what they do not want as they have dictation goals too with some nationals along with supposedly helping you. That is my 2 cents.
Keystroke radiology - flexible shift or strict?
I have tried searching the archives and found conflicting information. A few posts say you must work an assigned shift but other posts say work when you want. Which is it, or is it both depending on the account?
Past posts have been positive. They pay by the keystroke. Used to be all Cphone accts, think

Can you say google
Use google
x
If you google, there are, but only 1 for MT.
nm
YES, it is. It's in the BOS. Google it.
It is in the BOS 2nd edition on page 66 that it is customary to use single space after sentence. It also says it's determined by department, and it's basically optional otherwise as long as you are consistent.
I didn't just make it up. lol
You can google it
Did you google?
I did. Pops right up.
Yes, actually did google
Yes, you are correct.
Google it...
That'd be a good place to start, x.
Go and Google it!
I wanted to find out more information about this company before I decided to send in my resume. I could not find anything by typing in the company name on Google, so I typed in the email address that was listed in the job posting. I found some interesting websites associated with this email account.....go and look!!!!!!!!
Use the google box just above your
post. It does the more recent stuff.
Can't find anything on Google, but
Did they post somewhere? Can you glean a potential site address off of their email, if they did post something?
Hopefully it's a tiny company that pays wonderfully, has clear docs, and turns out to be the perfect job.
Good luck!

My first day I was so frustrated, during my break I went to check MT Jobs, I immediately got 2 IM's and a phone call.......and a raise! Imagine that, how would they know otherwise?
Do a Google search for
Cbay India Maryland transcription
and see what comes up. Nearly 1,000 hits. Honestly, you can do better than that.
There is a Google box right under the words
type in what you want to search and then click the circle beside 'mtstars' located right below the Google box, then search. This will bring up archives on your topic, if there are any.
Do a Google search here. You don't want
