Not a Cphone - a Lanier!

do they still have the cphone accounts mixed in
with internet accounts? Thank you.
Do you need a Cphone and your own LD for all accounts or do they have any internet accts.? nm

Lanier accounts
How much do you define as a ton? I have a Lanier account, and while there is always work, add a few more full-time MTs on it and there won't be. This is a really big account, but the typical work loads are half of what they were when I started on it a year ago. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of telling people to come get on my account.
Lanier accounts
Well, I am only part-time but I do around 1000 lines per day and am always being asked if I would like to do more.
MDI Lanier Accounts
Tomorrow I begin training on one of MDIs Lanier accounts, about which I'm VERY excited.
If anyone here who works on one of their Lanier accounts can enlighten me as to what to expect, such as the quality of the dictators, work flow, any idiosyncracies about the account, etc., I'd be forever appreciative.
TIA, fellow MDI'ers 
Vista will not work with Keystrokes accounts
They say right in their ads what operating systems they are compatible with, and they are not compatible with Vista yet. I asked this when I was first hired 6 months ago because I was going to put Vista on my work computer before I started, and they clearly stated that Vista will not work with any of their accounts yet, so I stuck to XP. You were not fired. Your system simply will not work on their accounts. All that you need to do is get a copy of XP somewhere and install that over Vista and you will be all set.
Lanier accounts have specific scheduled times.

I am on a Lanier by the line rad account with Keystrokes. sm
I love the account and using a Lanier, even though I know it is old-fashioned. I also have an account with them that is by the line but uses a wav pedal, and even though I am on that account less often, it has a lot of work.

really? by the line?? is it more than 6.5? i may have to apply with them
Do you need a second line or Cphone to work for QT? Do they have clinic? nm

From an ad last year, you needed a Cphone to work. Don't know anything about them. nm

Keystrokes has great ortho accounts and a wonderful manager over the ortho work. sm
I have worked with them for 4 years and will never leave unless something drastically changes. I do not post here normally as it seems that there are so many negative people, but this is one I felt I could answer without being attacked.
You need a second line as you use a Cphone, which she will lend to you. Said she had lots of work.nm

You need a 2nd line and Cphone to work for them. 800 lpd is PT production. Someone posted a

Someone else asking if you still need a Cphone & 2nd line to work for them. Any internet accts? nm

You needed a Cphone & 2nd line to work there in the past. nm

Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
I think Lanier is only compatible with Lanier; however, call a techie guy to be sure. sm
DAC and Dictaphone are compatible with Dictaphone, DVI and VDI systems. Lanier is a monster all of its own! Unless you rerecord from the Lanier and then use the Lanier VXP player, as the MT companies do.
Any of you work for KS and use Lanier?
Could you please let me know if you have any problems. Do they provide foot pedal? What model Lanier is needed for KS? Thanks.
Post from 2005 said you needed a Cphone and you HAD to buy Workman's Comp insurance to work
s
I think Lanier is very propietary and will not work with
other systems. Cphone and DVI are compatible with each other, and DVI is compatible with RTAS if you buy the RTAS footpedal that is compatible.
Since they have a Lanier account, just how did you think you could get a test without a Lanier?
only by them doing a re-record to make the test file in .wav format so you could take the test? That's why the sound quality is so bad. In addition, you want a degree of poor quality in your test files. Because that weeds out the quitters.
Do NOT work for Voice Systems!
Do a search of these boards. Nothing good ever said about them. Bad company to work for. The owners berate you, paychecks bounce, can't keep anybody. Bad people to work for. I would highly recommend you look somewhere else.
I used to work for Lanier transcription before it closed.
I worked directly there at the site in Florida. The Lanier machine (like dictaphone) is great. If you use the Software developed by Lanier for text it is also great. I would not worry about the difference. I actually preferred that system to the C-phone. Of course now we have Dictaphone Extext with the demographics filling in and the 2 working together. But the Lanier system used to be wonderful. I worked on it for many years. High recommendations to that product.
Anyone out there work or worked for CBay Systems and Services?
I see this company is out of Maryland. I wondered if anyone has had experience or know anything about the company.
Thanks
Anyone work for Digital Transcription Systems in Oklahoma City
Can you tell me about them and your experience?
Keystrokes does for a few accounts. nm

Keystrokes PT accounts sm
Hi! We typically assign our PT accounts by location. Our smallest location has about 3 dictators up to our largest location which has about 8 dictators. Discharge summaries are anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes in length and initial evaluations are up to 10 to 11 minutes in length (dictation time). Some of our transcriptionists type on two locations as well, it just depends on the amount of work you are looking for. Ortho experience is also a plus as we can cross-train you on our ortho accounts if that is of interest to you. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Keystrokes accounts
Do you happen to know what areas they are needing help in? I am not too happy with the company I am with now and time to move on....

Does Keystrokes use a security fob for their accounts? nm

Keystrokes oncology accounts
Has anyone started on the 2 new oncology accounts for Keystrokes? If so, how are they? Do you like the platform? Are you able to get good lines?
TIA
Keystrokes accounts have more than one platform
Every account has a different platform (it depends on what the client wants to use). Some use ExText (which both of mine do), some Meditech, and some are on other platforms that use a C-phone.
Keystrokes has at least a couple of accounts
that use Chartscript. I worked on it for quite a while and loved it. However, I'm not entirely sure if we're hiring at this moment. It wouldn't hurt to ask, though!
Keystrokes has a lot of old MQ accounts and a lot of 500+ bed hospitals. sm
Not sure if this is the one you are thinking of, but it is very heavy ESL, but only about 75% if even that. I do have to say that once you are used to the Hispanic accent, it's a great account, but it does take time to get used to it.
I know they have a few new accounts starting too, but I don't know much about them as I am not looking to move accounts and have more than enough work now!
For Radiology, try Keystrokes. I know they are hiring on one of my accounts. sm
The hospital just hired KS to do their whole department. I think they will be doing their Med/Surg stuff too.
Keystrokes does not, although some accounts have shifts required
I don't know about all the accounts, but my understanding is that no one punches a clock, although some people are more held to shifts than others due to the client needs/requirements.
The best place for radiology is by far Keystrokes. There have a lot of rad accounts and sm
I know of a few more that are starting this week and the next few weeks. This would be a good time to check with them. I have worked pretty much everywhere before KS. I have been with them for 2 years now and have steady work, good pay and love my account! My backup accounts are good too but I never have time to work on them.
Keystrokes does not use Emdat for any accounts. I just verified this. nm

Information on Keystrokes Radiology Accounts
I would like to hear from anyone who WORKS at Keystrokes doing their radiology accounts and how it is going for them; i.e. pay, enough work, do you get paid per line/per report. Thanks so much!
Doesn't Keystrokes have strictly OP accounts?
I thought they posted not too very long ago for a position that was strictly ops. I don't work there so I don't know first-hand, just sorta recall seeing it on the job seeker's board.
Good luck with that search :-)
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
Just curious. What program does Keystrokes use on the ortho accounts?
:-)
Keystrokes accounts are stable. The company treats every customer
like their only. No accounts have been lost. I have been there for 3-1/2 years. Same accounts plus double since I started.
Keystrokes-disorganized accounts, broken promises, moody owner
.
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't
Keystrokes accounts all count the expanders as characters printed with spaces, not the abbreviation.
I have checked it, but we use Shorthand. What are you using?
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines. Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
