Medi-Tech/Keystrokes

I was just hired by PT by Keystrokes, and all I know at this point is that I will be using a C-Phone, Medi-Tech and transcribing ER.  I read below something about word-based Medi-Tech being different from another vesion.  Are there any Keystrokers out there who can tell me if they know whether this may be word-based Medi-Tech or not.  I hope it is word-based.  How do you guys like Medi-Tech?  It is productive??

I was contacted today by this company, and in trying to determine how they reached me I searched the job listings and found nothing, any clue on who and how they are?  I find it interesting that I have not posted my resume and they make contact.

They stated they got my resume off mtjobs, but again they do not even have a listing there, past or present that I see for me to review.

Any information would be helpful.

From time to time, I search these boards for any posts regarding my company, MediTask.  Yeah, I know I'm late (really late) posting, but some time back someone had asked about my company, asking if it was the one in Houston, owned by Matt Read, or what.  Nope - not me.  Here's my story:  

I own Medi-Task (Hill Country, TX).  I started this business in Houston in 1989, and moved to the central Texas in 1995, selling that portion of my business to Matt Read.  He didn't change the name (another whole story there) but just added -"Houston" to the end of it.  I fielded calls and inquiries for a long time until they died out.  I understand he sold that business several months ago. I've tried calling but they sometimes have a message giving a pager number (?).  Ouch... I wish people weren't confusing the two companies! 
 

Being an MTSO, I did hear things through the grapevine to the tune of MTs not getting paid, or paid on time... I can't really comment on that because I had nothing to do with how Matt ran his business, and basically kept my nose to the grindstone where growing my business was concerned.  So, you'll have to raise those questions with someone else who was really there.

MediTask (my company) has clients in 7 states, and MTs in as many.  We're a smaller, close-knit group.  My MTs have never gone without pay, and I believe in behaving honorably in those matters.  My reputation is important to me, and I hope to never see any negative about myself or this company.  But, people are funny  - - some move from company to company peddling their wares (which are sometimes rusty), and then get bent way out of shape when their services are no longer needed.  Some are just bent on getting out of shape.  However, that said - I have MTs who have been with me a long, long time.  In fact, the first MT I ever brought on board in 1989 is working with me today. Others have been on board since '92 and '94, 99, etc.

All the MTs here are subcontractors, so I don't offer the big perks that the nationals do.  Sometimes I feel bad about that (and have lost great applicants who are looking for more), but also understand that there are pros and cons to both ways. There's not a corporate bone in my body, and I never really want all the headaches associated with handling a huge company.  I like it smaller where we all know each other's names, and work close as a team.  We actually get together whenever we can in Austin or Marble Falls - that's pretty cool.

No one asked me, but I thought I might clear the air on the "MediTask Houston or Austin or what?" posts, let ya'll (yep, I'm from Texas) know who I am, and what this company is about.  I'm proud to be associated with the people who work with me, and so lucky to have such dedicated, helpful, spirited, intelligent colleagues such as them.  I'm blessed. 

Anyone who has curiosity beyond this, I'm happy to answer any questions I can.

Anyone worked for them?  What was your experience?  TIA.

Does anybody work for them? TIA

I did a search and can't find anything.  If anyone knows of this company or anything, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!

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.

I tested with Med-Tech a few days ago and I got an E-mail today to contact them regarding my scores. Does anyone know if this is a good company and/or if this is good news? Thanks!

how is the technical department at transtech?  Is it better to have your own computer or are theirs pretty reliable??

Thanks to all in advance.  I would appreciate any input.

Also did a short time with company.  Dictaphone needed and second line.  Thought platform was easy enough.  No training given, jump right in with heavy ESL and super speed MDs (was told ESLs but not told almost every dictator would be one).   Rerecording makes ugly MDs even worse.  It was assumed experience in all fields.  Pay was on time, however.

Is there anyone out there with familiar with the company Med-Tech?  Any information grealy appreciated.

Does anyone in the world work for Med-Tech, at home or locally. Infomation on this company is like looking for a ghost!! It's like no one really works for them. Even locally. Or is there information that you just can't get on this company? If anyone has worked, is working, or has any info on this company please share.

out of Michigan, may specialize in x-rays.  Anyone know anything about either of these companies?  I have GOT to find something to supplement soon!  Thanks!
