Absolutely awesome awesome platform. I love it.
I believe the concensus is you either love it or hate it. I personally love it and make lots of money.
I work for MDI-MD and I have had awesome help from QA.
Never anything negative, only helpful.
It's an awesome place to work...
I don't know about Transcend, but I know that MDI has the MT's best interests at heart.
Have you worked at both MDI and Transcend? My account at MDI has about 40% ESL, but once you get used to them, it's not bad
Awesome to work for. Pay is always on time,
steady work flow, direct deposit every 2 weeks. Very flexible. I would recommend them to anyone.
Pay - 10 to 11 cpl including spaces.
Oracle is awesome when they have work
I think they only take ICs. If you are fortunate enough to be hired by them, you will NOT regret it - UNLESS you need a lot of work consistently. They never bother you. You can work or NOT. FOR REAL. They just don't bug. They are starting to use a really great new platform. Their old one is pretty antiquated and, frankly, downright time-consuming. Their new platform is definitely PROGRESS. They are great for the MT who truly does not need full-time lines 52 weeks of the year. Great for those who only need or want 500 or so lines a day, maybe because they are only helping out or making a little extra money. They are EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE and LAID BACK. However, if you need 1500+ lines a day consistently, you would be better off finding full-time, employee status. I think they might overhire now and then, resulting in a lack of work. NONETHELESS, I say God Bless Them, Every One. 
Same experience...awesome to work for, horrible platform..sm
I've been an MT for close to 20 years and am most productive on ER accounts where I can create my own templates and Expanders out the ying yang. After 2 months and the worst line counts of my entire career, I had to move on. I do want to point out that PM does have some of the nicest, most helpful staff I've ever worked for! The platform is the ONLY reason I left.
DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
Awesome small company! Paid on time every 2 weeks. Plenty of work!
Owner is great. I would recommend this company to anyone who wanted to be paid what they are worth and paid on time!
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't
I know two people who work 3rd shift for Keystrokes on radiology and have a lot of work. Maybe you
on an account that has enough work. I hate to hear that someone doesn't have enough work or that they have a problem because I know that Keystrokes works to find the right account for every person. They do a lot for us but you have to talk to them until you find the right account or volume or hours for you.
I think that a lot of companies are that way but there is a lot of job-hopping in transcription. Everyone is looking for the perfect job but the grass is not always greener on the other side. There are a few MTSO's really are not good but for the most part, the others don't intentionally drive people away. That would not make sense. They need us to work as much as we need them to have the work there for us.
Keystrokes: Why should I come work for you?
I'm interested in working for you guys, but from what I've heard you don't furnish a computer, do not pay for long distance, do not pay for health insurance. Do you KS employees not mind all that? Is the money you make worth not having the above-mentioned items? Thanks for any input as I am very intrigued by this company but wondering about what is NOT provided. 
? for those who work at Keystrokes.
Do you use Word? Can you use Stedman's Spellchecker? What Expander do you use? I don't know the name of the account I'm going to be working on, but it is a hospital account.
I forgot to ask these questions when talking with them today.
Does Keystrokes often run out of work?
.
Do You Work for Keystrokes?
ERMT -- Do you work for Keystrokes? I was hoping for an individual message from you about your specific experiences and opinions about Keystrokes. I can always go to the archives, etc. But I wanted a personal reply from YOU.
I used to work for DSG before going to Keystrokes...
and I have never been happier...DSG constantly runs out of work, KS never does...unanswered emails at DSG, that never happens at KS...good luck in your decision but I would definitely choose Keystrokes after having worked for both companies mentioned above...
Anyone STILL low on work at Keystrokes???
Wow, these past 4 weeks or so have been the slowest that I have ever seen. All of my accounts have been very, very slow. If it doesn't pick up real soon, I may have to start sending resumes out, which I HATE to do as I love Keystrokes, but not loving the little to no work. Anyone else in the same situation?
Keystrokes....they work for me...nm
Anyone work for keystrokes?
Would love info from someone who works for Keystrokes, specifics on amount of work, company, how are they to work for, etc. Thanks.
No.. I don't work for keystrokes
nm
Do you work for Keystrokes? sm
There are no admin assistants in the office that are transcriptionists and there are no prn transcriptionists. You must be confusing them with someone else. They have started some part-time positions but do not have any PRN positions. I have worked for KS for 6 years now and am a lead. There are no and will not be p.r.n. positions due to TAT and other factors.
Also, KS no longer requires WindowsXP. More and more accounts are Vista compatible.
I work at Keystrokes
And I am more than willing to say that I like working for them very much, but there have been drawbacks with my employment as well. Work load on my accounts is up and down, don't know from one day to next if it will be busy or slow, but then again, just ask and you will be assigned a back up account to help fill in on the slow days. PTO time, definitely sucks. 1 week paid a year, and you can take up to 2 weeks without pay. Don't make any last minute plans, you need to get the approval 30 days in advance to take time off. Time off is blocked out around Christmas, which for people like me that are 2/3 of the way across country from their family is hard, but we adjust. The pay is good, the benefits on the other hand, though a good package, I find to be expensive and hard to afford. The job leads and management though are wonderful and usually willing to work with you on all issues. All in all, I do like working here and am not going to look elsewhere.
DOES ANYONE WORK FOR KEYSTROKES HELP
Does anyone out there work for keystrokes. I need some answers to some questions. Please. Thanks.
No work at Keystrokes
Anyone had this problem of recent? Also, QA fussing at you because you are not multilingual/mindreader/MD?
C.C. You are Awesome
C.C. Thanks for always watching out for us!
AWESOME
TransTech is a GREAT place to work!
and they are AWESOME
to work for and with.
AWESOME!
U go girl (or guy)! Keep us informed about your new job and congrats!
Then that is awesome!
Best of luck!
Awesome!
Been here 7 years, back before it was bought out. There is endless work and that's NO joke. Small management staff, pay on time. Only drawback for some is using the C-phone. No hassles, nobody looking over your shoulder. You just work and get paid.
TRS is awesome!
I have worked for TRS for just over 2 years and couldn't be happier. TRS truly cares about its employees and it shows. I can't imagine working anywhere else.
YOU ARE AWESOME
Very well stated! I am VERY interested in the 3000 lines/6-8 hours. WOW! Can you emaiil me and share you knowledge on how you acheived this goal. Do you do this consistently, daily? I think I am pretty up there usually coming in around 2000, but I am very interested in how skilled, quality MTs come in at 3000 a day consistently??? Please share you knowledge with me so I can try it. Thank you for the great post! I am so frustrated reading this line count stuff. I love Transtech and my sense, as good as it can be in this remote working situation, is that they are honest people and wound not intentionally mesh with line counts.
Awesome!
That is an awesome rate. Usually it is 4 cpl. What company is this with?
That is awesome!
A friend told me when he went to RT school (a long time ago) he was taught by physicians. I heard nursing school used to be full of practical experience too.
Awesome!
I ended up typing the report over again, but believe me - I will NEVER forget your instructions on accessing a lost report, and I will get some cardboard ASAP!!! Thanks very much...
AWESOME
4-1/2 years and don't intend to leave. Great, great, great company.
Awesome!
I start tomorrow. I'm glad to hear that our supervisor is good.
You are AWESOME
You get the picture!
Awesome!
I worked for them for a couple of months. The work was very easy, but the paychecks were a little slow!
Anyone work for Keystrokes (Clinic)....
Can anyone tell me anything about this company? How is the pay (on time???). Is there plenty of work? I was told I would be assigned to one doctor.... what happens if a doc does not dictate one day, can I get a second doc? Any other help would be appreciated.
TIA
Keystrokes - Not Enough Radiology Work
I too thought Keystrokes would be my salvation when I read all the great posts about it, and accepted an offer in September. But my radiology accounts dried up, and even though I have been begging for work, I have not been offered anything steady or stable. Yes, everyone there is as nice as can be, paychecks (such as they are) are on-time, but from the time I get up until I go to bed I am lucky if I have a half-dozen reports. My first/primary account went voice before I even started it. I asked for a backup and they gave me clinic notes - I only do radiology, I have 13 years of radiology. I asked for another backup and had one for less than a month before it went voice. During that month there were more transcriptionists than available dial-in lines, so couldn't get in to work half the time. Now I've been given an account that I'm only allowed to work on weekend afternoons. I continue to ask them to find me an account. I absolutely cannot believe I am begging for work and earning nothing. I have a family counting on me, I can't go on like this. I am absolutely devastated. CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU GO TO KEYSTROKES.
Keystrokes definitely a good one - work there now
Had a nightmare experience with TT. Have heard DeVenture is a good one but no personal experience.
I have never run out of work at Keystrokes, nor have I come close
I have 2 ER accounts, and they both keep me very busy. It is true that they make sure that everyone working there has enough work before they will hire more people. That's why I love them so much.
Anyone work for Keystrokes on a teaching
hospital account that started recently? I've been on the account for about 6 weeks. I'm struggling on it and I'd just like to talk to another MT on the account.
Does Keystrokes use Docuscribe? How are they to work for?
I am tired of geting burned by some of the companies that advertise here. I want a job that has a lot of work, does not outsource and have good accounts.
My resume is looking worse and worse because I appear to be job hopping. I want to find a good company where I settle in, work hard and retire in 7 or 8 years.
I worked for MQ for 11 years and loved DocQscribe. I just saw an ad from Keystrokes that they use it and want to know if they are as good as they seem to work for.
This is so confusing. Most of the companies either run out of work, send work to India or conveniently forget to pay for work done. Help! I need a good company!
Keystrokes is great to work for...
tons of work, great leads, benefits and great pay...I believe they just started using DocuqScribe recently though because I came from a company that used DocuqScribe and an account using that was not offered at the time...send in your resumes girls!!!
Keystrokes - Running out of work?
What type of account do you work at? I just got hired and my account will be a very large teaching hospital in the mid-west. I didn't think it was the kind of place that would run out of work but your comment has me concerned. Would you please expand on your experience with your account if you can? Thanks.
Do you have to work every weekend with Keystrokes?
x
Keystrokes and clinic work....sm
Does Keystrokes offer clinic work? Thanks
I would love to work for Keystrokes but
I do not have a personal computer with XP and they stated that I needed to supply my own PC with XP. Once I find a place that I can buy XP at a reasonable price I will apply.
keystrokes work situation
you must be on a different acct than me.....
Keystrokes work situation
I work on an ortho account...maybe just depends which account you get. Sorry not working out so well for you.
