DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
Tons of work on Enterprise. Should be last frustrating. Good luck. nm

Leads with ANY company NEVER run out of work; that is why the MT's do, because leads pick and cho
for themselves! TT has so many leads it makes me sick! We have absolutely no work, but I know those leads and QA are picking out plenty of work that they like to do !!! FACT !!!
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

My leads are great but if you are having a problem...
email Lee...she will take care of it!!!
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!!!
Which is great to work for LeePerfect or KeyStrokes? They are different, aren't they? nm

I recommend Keystrokes too. I make great money, have a lot of work and have sm
been around the block a time or two.
I have worked for them for 6 months but had worked for them previously (in 2003). I left for several reasons but all of them have been resolved. I think a big part of the improvement is due to direct deposit and the office. When I worked for them before, the owner ran things from her home office but now there is an office that has a lot (not sure how many) people in it and I can get answers and help quickly when I need it.
I think that they had some growing pains but resolved them. I know that they are still growing, even faster than ever from what my lead tells me. If you have a lot of hospital experience, they are hiring for two new accounts and need good MTs.
Thanks for posting that...Just goes to show that Keystrokes is a great company and will work with yo
I hope it works out for you and you start feeling better soon...
Keystrokes very flexible
I have found that with them also, life does happen.
Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.
For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.
How flexible is Keystrokes as far as schedules...sm
I currently transcribe radiology for MQ full-time and after doing some research, I'm thinking about applying elsewhere full-time specifically Keystrokes because I hear they do a lot of radiology work.
How flexible is the work schedule there at Keystrokes. Do you have to punch in and out like at MQ? Really getting tired of punching in and out.
Recent info would be appreciated...looked at archives already.
GREAT company! Extremely flexible. I think it sm
depends on your manager. Mine lets me off each time one of my kids is sick with no questions asked. I am left alone to do my job. I have not had a problem at all with slowness, nothing more than usual when working over the internet. Tech is very quick to fix any problems. I have had every holiday off that I have asked for, and even a few vacation dayy and have only been there since July. I think it is a wonderful company to work for.
I have gotten many solid, good job leads and offers from the board...sm.
I have never received any Spam or undesirable mail, only solid offers from companies, and I have gotten a great position through this and many other back-up offers. Just be sure to post a good resume, it will represent you, and always do research through board or Google, whatever, to see if this company would really be worth pursuing.....best of luck to you! There are a few other sites that you can post to for medical transcription, posting resume and such.
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.
Good! Great people to work for!

Keystrokes Question! Flexible Hours?
I am making a long-overdue career move, and KS is one of my top 3 choices. Just wondering, though - flexible hours? Or strict shift? I am really wanting my freedom back, and this is my #1 consideration right now. Thought I'd ask really quickly on here rather than waste my time and the company's time by applying first, etc. Thanks for any info!

Reply to Is Keystrokes a good company to work for
I have been in this business for 15+ years and I can honestly say, I have worked for quite a few different companies (Heartland - THE WORST OUT THERE; Softscript, about as bad and Spheris was so/so) and Keystrokes IS THE BEST!!! I love my account and my supervisor and they do NOT hassle you as long as you are working. I have never heard a negative thing from anyone in the company yet! I get paid on time and have taken time off in the last 3 months I have worked for them! I SAY GO FOR IT!! Okay, I will get off my  now!! Anyway.. Keystrokes ROCKS!! 
Good accounts, great people, plenty of work. sm
I'm past that "honeymoon" stage of the first few months that another poster mentioned. I still find them to be the best for me. Never run out of work, always there for questions, including timely responses, great people (QA and otherwise).
I'd highly suggest contacting either your supervisor or Jane (as she offered) about lack of work. As you should see on the daily reports, there is plenty of work out there.
Good luck & I hope it works out for you.
I work on a great platform, have good QA support and make
a lot more than 8 cpl. I even have GREAT benefits, which are more than affordable. There are good companies out there that pays for experience!!!!
GOOD MTs aren't ... but there are tons of crappy ones
Finding one that is actually GOOD in this business? nearly impossible. I do editing and QA (and have been an MT for 22 years) and I see nothing but horrid work day in and day out.
Tons of stuff in archives, nothing good. If you
open your post near the bottom in blue is something about related posts. Click on it and you'll find lots of stuff to start.
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Seems to be good and bad in the archives. Rude & running out of work to very professional, great
s
Been there 9 months and LOVE it!!! Plenty of work, good platform, great staff.
I finally found a home.
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.
NO FAIR LEADS TAKING BEST WORK - sm
But I don't suppose this is a new issue, is it? Leads have to get in their lines, too, which I was surprised to learn - however, it shed light on a lot of things, like getting all crap/ESL, difficult work, this was before good work went VR and we actually did have some good dictators.
But as soon as one of the good jobs turned up in the MTs queue (after a while can often tell by MD ID#) - it disappeared just as fast, replaced by a piece of ----. Had asked lead a few times after this happened, who rudely answered that, what difference did it make to me - I hadn't started on the job yet, anyway.
In all fairness, work should flow naturally - first come, first serve, with the next available MT for the next available job. But as long as the Leads have control over this, they'll continue to get the best work. Lot of complaints also on this board re. Cherrypickers and blaming the MT (who get blamed for most everything, anyway) we need to look at WHO has control over work distributed and who benefits from having that control, and it's not the MT. 
not flexible at all. they are scatterbrained and it was NOT a good experience.
I was so excited to work for them and it was a nightmare. QA is not a good thing at DTS.
Tons of work
I don't know what account other poster is on but she should probably check with her supervisor about the no work issue--that doesn't sound like Amphion.
The account I'm on is never out of work and it is always available to work on, overtime included. I love Amphion and have been at several different companies.
Amphion gives me the freedom to do my work and keeps me in work but they don't bug me to death about work. They go above and beyond to create macros, request software changes that get approved for MTs to use to make our jobs easier. I get employee benefits including retirement and PTO and I couldn't be happier. I'm also not bombarded with emails all day like I was at TRS a few years ago. The supervisors and QA are great! I was not sure when I started because I was skeptical from past jobs, so I started part-time and kept my other full-time MT job, then made the switch to full-time with Amphion after a few months and I am so glad I did.
If anyone remembers Omnimed from a few years back, they are now back as Amphion. You really have to just give it a shot to see if they're a good fit.
I have tons of work.. I can't see how you can say that.
What account are you on?
Tons of work currently
Hmmm, I have not had this problem at Amphion. We have been doing overtime for a long time now, sometimes mandatory, sometimes optional. I have by no means ran out of work. I just wanted to give another opinion. I'm very happy working there and would recommend them. 
I have always had tons of work..SM
I would e-mail Lee directly if you are running out of work on you account. She is VERY nice and more than willing to help out. She will put you on a new account, or give you a backup in a heartbeat. She has done it for me and many other people.
I have tons of work...

Same here. TONS of work. Never run out
They are always asking for extra help, and I'm always glad to give it! I have never even ever come close to running out of work the year I have been there.
We have tons of work!
The account that I am lead on has tons of work. I personally don't use the insurance since I have it through my husband's job, but we did recently get a new policy that I heard was great.
If you want tons of work at MDI
ask for a Lanier account. There is always a ton of work and I have never run out. Plus of which, I love the account!
Still around and tons of work
I have been with Meridian for 4-1/2 years. I haven't had a slow period or run out of work in the last year and a half. Love it there. contact me if you want more info.
You are right. I have tons of work..and no VR
nm
Low no work? There are tons of ads
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
TransTech leads and QA have enough work anymore! Are you either? Re payroll co. change,
I remember that well -- SUDDEN HURRY to get paperwork turned in to new company (same paperwork as a new-hire wound fill out). Then the new payroll company did a horrible job of putting the data in, and made horendous mistakes in our personal info, etc. I remember that HURRY very well !
No warning whatsoever to the MT's; just unbelievable mistakes made by new payroll company, and am sure it was due to the BIG RUSH put on them.
tons of work because no one wants to work for slave wages
think about it
I've been there a couple of years and it has been a good fit for me, very flexible with my schedu
as long as production is being met. We are definitely a growing company and sounds like you have the experience that we need. Paychecks have been always on time for me, direct deposit.
From what I remember not very long. They are flexible, pay is decent, good dictators,
I have never had any problem with them.
Tons and tons of stuff in the archives. nm
I make 10 with FutureNet, tons of work...NM
