Keystrokes Info
Posted By: Denise Thompson on 2007-02-26
In Reply to: Thank you, Denise. Couple of questions . . . - Regina
Okay, let's see. Yes, I had to test for this position. I have a strictly cardiology account. There are two ESLs who speak better English than some of the other dictators in the practice! We are about to get new, cheaper health insurance coverage, in March, I believe. The benefits appear reasonable to me. I am not in a typing pool. There is just me and another Transcriptionist on this one office account. By the way, I think you get health insurance benefits after 90 days, which is typical. Hope I answered everything!

Can I get some info on Keystrokes
Rad MTs are able to get on a daily basis? Please. TIA.
Keystrokes info, please
You are paid by report, right?Could you tell me if the short reports/long reports equal out. Can you use your own expander program? To have plenty of work and not be bothered all the time, that sounds good to me!
Info on Keystrokes please. TIA

Some More Keystrokes Info
Well, J, I'll take some of your questions. The pay was higher than what was offered to me by other companies by a full cent per line. We are paid on the 1st and 15th, direct deposit, and check is in the bank by 10:00 that day. I love my primary and secondary accounts. I have plenty of work. Hope this helps - we'd love to have you!

Any info on SmartMed vs Keystrokes?

Any recent info on Keystrokes
Does anyone have any experience with Keystrokes? I am getting kind of fed up with my company that I have been with for a year, and I just got an e-mail Keystrokes saying that my resume meets their requirements and sent me a questionnaire to fill out. I was wondering how the pay is, how the accounts are, the managers, and how easy their platform is to learn. Any info, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated!
Keystrokes and Meditech info please
I am going to work for Keystrokes on the Meditech platform and now I read horrid things about the platform. I DON'T do well with donating my time to set up reports or to send them, and this appears to be the premise of Meditech... Can somebody enlighten me? Please tell me there is not a lot of wasted time (aka... DONATED TIME) on the meditech platform. Thanks

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
keystrokes ad..can someone tell keystrokes their banner ad needs a hyphen...quality-minded

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm
small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend. Is this true?
I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread. Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't
Only Keystrokes. Worked at MQ until I came to Keystrokes. Started at sm
Keystrokes PT, liked what I saw and experienced, gave notice to MQ and went FT. Have not look back since. I had previously worked at 2 hospitals, for MDI, Transcend and MRC until bought by MQ. I plan on retiring here as long as they stay as they are.
No, Not with Keystrokes, visiting friend and using her pc, she got job with Keystrokes
I forgot to change the Name. I do not think Keystrokes is hiring anymore now. Would like some info about Diskriter though.
Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money. They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
Been with Keystrokes staying with Keystrokes
I was there for the promises and guess what Keystrokes is making good on those promises.
I get vacation time, 401K, and even AFLAC. My pay is great, always on time as well as accurate.
I have my main account and have been given back up accounts for which I have been fully trained and am comfortable typing on. I have great leads, great tech support and plenty of work.
Am I biased??? Yes I am biased. I am grateful everyday that I was given the opportunity to work for Keystrokes and their team. I am grateful that my company's owner is a fellow Transcriptionist that goes home at the end of the day and works like the rest of us so she knows what a hard job I have and I know that she is working to make things better for me because unlike other companies I have worked for she understands what it is I do.
Please accept my apologies that you were unhappy with Keystrokes and chose to move on before all of the promises came to fruition but don't begrudge those of us that stayed loyal and are now reaping the benefits of a GREAT COMPANY WITH GREAT BENEFITS, LOTS OF WORK AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE GREAT THINGS TO COME!
I just want to say Thank you Lee, Jeff, Becky, Karyn, Martha, Annette, Paul and everybody else in the office for all that you do.
Keystrokes does not go by keystrokes, we go by lines. sm
1200 lines per day comes out to 150 lines per hour. Most transcriptionists are able to do 200-250 lines per hour, so this is not unrealistic, nor is it unreasonable. The hospital that I used to work at prior to coming to Keystrokes had a minimum of 185 lines per hour. The service I worked for prior to Keystrokes had a minimum of 200 lines per hour.
Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m
Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!
Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm
Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc. Otherwise, the all the 411.
Thanks!
Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone
love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.
Any new info on Amphion? Archive search doesn't provide new info (sm)
Looking for a part-time position with decent pay and decent workflow. There's nothing new in the archives.
Need info on eMTS out of Florida. Any info would be appreciated!

Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg

Any info on Sten-Tel..not much info
Any info is appreciated.
Sorry, but I want info, lots of info...
before I make any decisions about what comes next in my work life.
Would you like fries with that, Sir? Welcome to WalMart! How'm I doing so far? Do I sound sincere yet? (At least these two companies are, and always will be, USA-based.)

I was hired by Keystrokes for clinic work back at the first of June, worked 1 week, and then the account was lost--no real explanation for the reason. I've been trying unsuccessfully to find out when or if I'll be put on another account since then (over a month now). Has anyone else had this experience?
I went with Keystrokes because of the mostly positive comments from this board and others. I don't want to badmouth anyone, but these actions seem to uncharacteristic of them, and the lack of communication is really taking its toll on me--why wouldn't they let me know something?!! I understand most of their accounts are radiology, and there may be problems placing me on another clinic account, but I need to know something!
Thanks for any insight--
Keystrokes
There has been NO response to emails or calls. Left messages, but no response. Finally gave up. May or may not hear from them again....only time will tell.
How many keystrokes did
you average in an 8-hour day?? I was told I have to do a minumum of 60,000. I've never been paid by the keystroke before. Don't know if I want to be, either...
Keystrokes....sm
You have too much work because the people you hire never get to start working for you...never hear back from anyone after hiring!
Keystrokes - sm
I was not hired by Becky or Karen but by Lee herself...and I have also called and emailed numerous times with no response. Apparently this is the NEW hiring procedure..and I KNOW I was hired, have copies of all my paperwork that I faxed in, and I have programs on my PC. How do you explain that one?
Keystrokes ...sm
Been there, did that...nada, zip, zero, zilch...guess I should take the hint, huh?
Keystrokes
That is what Lee is best at....promises that never materialize. Becky is great....it's everyone else that stinks.
RE: Keystrokes
I AGREE WITH YOU KEYSTROKES QA...
Keystrokes
Been there, done that also. No thanks. You become nasty when you're treated that way.
Keystrokes
Vacation. Is that the excuse they're using? Do you actually know this person who is on vacation or do you just believe what you're told? Right, teamwork. You haven't got a clue.
Keystrokes here for me!

Keystrokes for me too! nm

My advise is don't quit your job until you actually START working for them....you may not hear from them again and be out of a job....happened to me, and this is not a lie. I was hired, gave notice at my job, left, and never heard from Keystrokes again. Had to find another job. So, before you celebrate your good fortune...be verrrry, verrry careful.
Keystrokes - sm
I am not the same poster as above, and my experience with Keystrokes was getting hired, quiting my job, getting the programs put on my PC and NEVER hearing back from them again. DO NOT quit your present job if you take one with them until you are up and running and are SURE you have a job and like it. The negative posts you read were all from different people with basically the same BAD experiences with this company. History repeats itself.
To Kim from Keystrokes
Hi Kim,
I understand your frustration with all the negative heckling that goes on on this board and your need to want to clarify who you are with your real name. BUT, I seriously would not post your telephone number, just to justify who you are to a bunch of strangers calling you Lee. It is way to easy for anyone to locate somebody with a phone number these days, 411.com, google, etc. You just do not know who surfs ANY site on the net these days and that is a safety risk.
Case in point, my dear niece is trying to adopt and posted her number & area on an adoption board of all places, for anyone to call with info on a certain agency....it took the police who caught the creep who had stalked her, first by phone, then in person, to figure out where he got the info. He told them that he just wanted to "help these poor women to be able to conceive the baby they wanted" take that any way you want but believe me, from the calls she got, it was purely sick.
Just an FYI about safety on the internet. Not worth your own to justify to a bunch of hecklers.
Keystrokes
It's getting hired the first time that's the trick....
