In Reply to: Yes it is! I got mine today -- think it is great. I'm happy to be part of such an amazing compa - LTMT
When I hired in they asked what size I wanted for MT week. I haven't gotten it yet but probably will this week. I was impressed they even asked and I hadn't even started. They are wonderful to work for.

I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

HELP!! Started VR yesterday after 30 years of straight typing
 How in the world do you guys make any money. I am thinking of calling company up and telling them no thanks. I trained for 2 hours then was let go to work another two. Did 350 lines at 4.5 cpl. What are the keys to making money with VR. I am using Dictaphone Express Editor.
I just started with eTransPlus! Maybe that is a good thing....too busy typing to be here, sm
I will be working second shift, so I am here now. I tried to e-mail you, but for some reason would not go through. So far so good! Keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyone here typing the new acct that was to start this week?
nm
I just started this week sm
It took 5 days to receive the equipment and the paperwork. I was looking for it well before then, they DID 2-day FedEx it and it took 4. I live in a very small town where we don't get mail delivery to your house, you get have a box in town and FedEx comes up here 2 or 3 times a week, depending. It sat at the terminal for over 24 hrs before they put on it on a truck to go out. I don't really think it is TT's fault about this because of the situation.
I called them when I didn't get it after 2 days, and then 3 days and I called them the minute it showed up on Friday. The IT guy stays late and I was installed early evening, so it won't have to be before 6, but the training will have to be.
Pick up the phone and tell them you are waiting. Ask them to check the routing through the FedEx website (they gave me the routing number to watch it). As long as you don't go on the attack, they are not going to be upset with you. I wanted and needed to get to work as fast as I could and while it took 10 days, it was entirely WORTH IT.
This is my 2nd full day, I have been released off of QA and I have managed on day 1 to transcribe the company line quota. I am telling you, lines are easy to make, ExText is wonderful for ME to use and the people...I don't think there is a nicer staff of people in this industry!
You'll be happy, so call them and see what can be done. Heaven forbid you sit there while FedEx screws you out of a really good MT job!
Just started this week too.
So far I really like it. I was offered a nice line rate. The platform is easy, but it can be slow to look up samples, but once I get used to the account, I won't need to look up samples as much. The dictators on my account are very easy. I have not run into an ESL or difficult doctor yet. Everyone has been very helpful. I have IM contacts so I have help immediately whenever I need it. IMO waiting a month to get paid is not unusual. You get paid 2 weeks after the pay period ends, which is how I got paid at my in-house jobs. Most companies will require a week or two to process all the payroll, so I don't see how that is a big deal. I currently only have one account that seems pretty busy, but I was told if it ever slows down I can take on more accounts as they have lots of accounts in all different specialties. I also like that they are completely flexible with a very small requirement (only 1800 lines a week). As I said, so far I really like it and I don't see myself going anywhere any time soon. In fact, if I can get my speed up on this account soon, I will most likely be dropping my first company.
I started with them last week
I applied on their website and answered the 50 question test. The recruiter called me the same day and after we talked they sounded really nice. I did some research on this board and then accepted the position. I started last Monday and their software is really easy to learn and I really like my account. The trainer was nice and I also liked the 12 hour window. Very happy so far and I think I found a new home. HTH.
Started this week
I graduated about a month ago, really seemed to hit it just right. Landed a FT job w/a national. So far it has been great--exhausting, info overload, but wonderful! Wanted 2nd shift, got it, not S-Th like I wanted, but that's ok. I applied at every good company I had seen on the chat boards, this is the only one that bit. But they were in my top 3, so I am very grateful. Very nice people so far too. Seems to be plenty of work on my account, FT benes, production bonus.
Oh, and I graduated from MTEC, just to put that out there. ;)
Just started a week ago and so far
everything is going pretty well. Everyone has been really nice and helpful. I really love not being tied to a strict schedule.
I just started this week. (sm)
So far it is everything they said it would be - which is great. No surprises. The account I am on seems really good too.
I started with Amphion last week, and
specifically asked the recruiter if they send work offshore. She said that they considered it at one time, but would absolutely never do it now in light of the lawsuits and the fact that there are no HIPAA requirements outside the US. I believe that she was telling the truth. I was hesitant to try a national again after a one-month disaster with TRS last year, but my experience has been good so far.
mine's started this week nm

One has started, one is this coming week. nm

Just started this week. I really think it is going to be great. nm

I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
The person I am talking about started the second week in October for HR but the recruiter has been
with us since late summer.
I am going to dig into this, so thank you for the information. There is too much back and forth going on here to sort through what is true and what is not, so I am going to take some time and take it to my coordinator.
It might seem petty to a lot of you that we are willing to do this, but reputation is important and we have all been working too hard to let things like this happen.
I know that there will be flames here but the truth is that the Keystrokes Management Team has been working very hard to reverse a lot of things that happened in the past in order to make KS the best company in the industry. This takes time.
I do know that there are a lot of happy MTs at KS as we do not have a lot of emplpyee turnover, but I also know that one unhappy person can be like poison. Rather than attacking that person or persons, we are working on the reasons that they are unhappy and working to change that.
If KS was such a bad company, it would not grow as it has. I am not saying that they are perfect, just that they are not as this board portrays.
Another thing is that so many people attack the owner and say that she is unprofessional. You obviously have not met her. She is all business with her employees and customers and actually a fun person to be around as well. I have never met someone who gets as much done as she does and her customers love working with her.
I just think everyone should form their own opinions.
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
Are you on straight typing or VR/typing?
x
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)

I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm

I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!

Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.

Keep typing, my a__.
Good company to work for. Been here 10 years and not birthing out babies. Thank you very much.
D&L Typing
Does anyone have any info about D&L Typing? They have offered me some work, but I have never heard of them before. TIA
D&L Typing
I just started with them about a 2 weeks ago. Yes, they have tons of work--I have turned away several different things from them. As far as the pay, it depends on what acct you are doing, but it is rather low.
D&L Typing
I am not sure if they have accts that pay 9 or 10 cpl--that is something you will have to ask them. As far as the direct deposit, I don't believe they do, their website says that checks get mailed to you twice a month. Hope this helps :)
Does anyone know anything about D&L Typing?
:)
D&L Typing
They do have lots of work, they hire IC's only, and for themost part the people there are great.
They have issues, can't get into it here, but if you want steady work, they do have it.
Just keep your eyes and hears open, as with any company.
Any D&L Typing MTs out there get their
If they send out the checks on Tuesday, shouldn't you get it Wednesday or will it be Thursday?
d&l typing
I tried archives - but search keeps setting to main board and can't get company board. Anyway - I have had problems and wanted to see if anyone out there has too. - I will keep trying the search
JUST FOR TYPING WHAT?
What are you talking about?
D&L Typing
Web site for them is medicalreport.com. They hire often, some say they don't pay on time, some say they pay low, some say the staff is bad. Others say the opposite. I would say search but with the initials, nothing comes up. I say beware of any potential new client' as an IC. Hard to tell with this one because no one comments frequently like they do the other companies here - maybe they aren't known like I know them. I can tell you they like to fish, so you may get other responses here - all part of a fishing expedition. Like many of the other posts regarding them. They try to catch their ICs talking about them - like they could ever be confirmed.
I have nothing nice to say about them, to any question you may ask. so to be fair, you should wait for other comments for both sides.
Med Typing
Anybody know anything about Med Typing Service out of New York? Thanks for any info!
Don't you have typing to do?
You must just be an unemployer loser as someone down below stated  .
you know how when you are typing sm
the keys sound different? The only way I know how to describe it is like way back when I was learning to type, you can just hear the difference when you hit a wrong key. Now that is coming from someone who learned to type in the 60s! haha.
I don't know how to explain it. Maybe somebody else can, but when you are typing, don't you kind of hear the flow and know when you have a typo?
Somebody help me explain!
I saw one ad that was 5 cpl TYPING
I was completely flabbergasted!
I hope, hope, hope they got ZERO responses, but I have the feeling a SAHM or some other newb applied.
I need to stop coming to this board. It is depressing.
Did you see that they have a typing...sm
speed test on their site? I was tempted to take it but they asked for too much identifying information.
actually, the typing speed...
is not as important as learning to use an expander to do the work for you. This is the REAL key. I type perhaps 300+ words a minute using mine.
And like I said, if you weren't typing SM
the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with. And how did they get angry with you anyway? Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?
From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems. Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc.
copy typing
What exactly is copy typing? Just curious. Thanks
What's wrong with typing something right
the first time? My informal posts are indicative of my work quality, which is nearly error-free. I find it very hard to believe that some of these people who claim to have 99-100% QA and a nack for MT are being honest with themselves when they can't even spell simple English words. An occasional typo is one thing, but rampant grammar and spelling errors gives the impression that the person is either a lousy MT or a bored nonMT trying to start a flame war. If someone has to go back and proof every report to that extent, I don't see how they're making any money at all. Maybe that's the real reason behind wanting a higher line rate. The focus needs to be on quality, not quantity.
Excuse me for being honest. I don't nitpick at simple typos, but I'm tired of amateurs who think they have the nack ranting about deserving as much money as those of us who can do any report or ESL. How were any of you helping the original poster by telling her to demand more money and quit one MT company for another when she's obviously not ready yet?
try D&L typing service
I worked for them and they are closed on weekends so what they send you on Friday gives you all weekend to toggle it. Some of their work is also 48 hour turnaround time but depends on account. They pay on time also but no direct deposit.
I have D&L typing info
I worked for them for 3 years but part time. The good thing is you are set up with your own doctors so you have the same dictators constantly. They do pay on time but the cpl is not real high and depends on each doctor so you can be paid a different rate for each. Need anymore info let me know. What did they offer you for work?
D&L typing comment
I saw this post and was concerned for you. I worked for them from 2000 to 2003 and never had a problem with paychecks, however the owner was controlling it all at that time and every other thurs or fri she would send the paychecks out snail mail. They would get all data together on tues and wed to my knowledge then they would promptly go out and I never had a problem. She owner told me she would always welcome me back if I wanted to and even provide my accounts back to me but I have since learned I was ignored by the staff and not rehired. I believe she never found out I was available. I see a problem now that you mention this as I think there are many new turn over of employees in that office since I have worked there so they just don't care. I bet the owner would not like to hear that. I would call and ask for Donna - the owner or John her husband. They should be aware of this. I think her help is not doing her a favor. Maybe I am lucky for that staff to have ignored my request for rehire back in December. I would appreciate feedback on your situation in the future as I still was considering calling.
