Old posts say hire for Emp. only, 120-150 lph. Software said to be glitchy from a prior contact. nm

What is Keystrokes' software & do they hire PT?
Also, can you look up old reports on any of their software?
Does KS only hire employees or do they hire ICs too? nm

Do they hire ICs or employees?
Not KS but I only hire FT employees for many reasons. sm
Whenever I have had PT employees, they end up putting their FT job first and I have to scramble to cover for them if they are required to work a weekend or extra hours. The licenses are also expensive to have for a PT person and I pay the same insurance for liability on part time people as full time. It costs me as much for a part-time person in terms of unemployment and other taxes too, so I have saved money and headaches by only have full-time employees and have invested the extra money in those individuals in terms of PTO and benefits.
Comments from last year say they are "bad," hire only FT, might use Emdat software, and suppos

They do hire people as hospital employees, but
it's not the great situation it's cracked up to be. The hospital complains about everything possible to the account manager, who gets nervous about losing the account and it's all downhill from there.
It's too bad because it's a great idea in theory. Unfortunately it's human nature to pass the buck and place blame on those at the bottom of the totem pole, so that leaves the nameless faceless MT's on a daily roller coaster of paranoia and hysteria.
Which companies hire statuartory employees?
.
It depends if you are employee or IC. Employees cannot hire sm
assistants. Most companies make you sign a confidentiality agreement, as do most hospitals and clinics. Those agreements should state (every one I have seen) that you will not let anyone have access to personal information or use your IDs. Letting someone listen is a direct violation. I read your post and went to the Privacy Manager at the hospital where I work to verify this before posting this response. She is our HIPAA specialist and told me that letting anyone listen or read a medical report is the same as telling them about it and a direct HIPAA violation.
Only hire as employee if they have 50 employees in the state you live in. NM
My state would never be one.
Webmedx hire part time employees...sm
I'm really happy there. You might give them a try.
Old posts say you get switched around a lot and the software is clunky. What about

In Jan. 07 they offered 7 cpl as IC and you had to BUY their software. Past posts

Posts from 2/2006 said they were running out of work. They use MTWorld software. nm

Regarding the posts below, employees do not start at 8 cpl.
That is direct from the boss as of today.
Don't think they hire part time. Old posts are not favorable. nm

You judge an entire company by the posts of 2 or 3 out of 500+ employees?
That amazes me with MQ too. A few people post but the what they write it taken as gospel.
Keystrokes is very well run; it is sad that someone can make a blanket statement about something they know nothing about.
I have deleted one of your posts. Do not post names of employees on this board. Thank you. nm

They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.

Attn: Any Transcend employees or former employees
I have been offered a job with Transcend, but I am not completely sure about it yet and I need some input from you guys. I have read positives and negatives regarding this company but alot of it was pretty old information. Can anyone give me some recent feedback on them? Thanks very much!!!
Posts from April said everyone gets 8.5 cpl/newbie or experienced. Recent posts said

They have IC and employees, employees get benefits.
Good company. I am very happy there.
Does anyone like it at Precyse? New employees? old employees? nm

A few posts about them about 3/4 of the way down this page between the DSG & Diskriter posts. nm

do you have any certain software...sm
to do your own line count on, or is there some way to do it w/o any special software? I'd like to check mine out!
What software were you using? nm

Software
Anyone know what software All Type uses?
Yes, you use their software that
incorporates your version of Word into, so you have all your auto correct, etc.
It's VR software.
I hated it at first but I've gotten used to it and hate typing the old way now.
software
Thanks. Is extext the same as dictaphone extext?. I will be working with a company shortly that uses dictaphone extext and someone had e-mailed me stating you can also use ShortHand if you like with dictaphone extext. Could you please give me some information on where I can find ShortHand since it is something it sounds like I could use. Thank you so much. I would appreciate it!
Software
Chartnet at SPI/Cymed is the best platform I have ever worked on. I worked on ExText for many years before and Chartnet is more efficient. I think SPI bought the rights to it (not 100% on this) so I don't think any other companies have it.
what software
platform do they use?
Everyone will have to use the same software?
I hope it is Editscript. It is the easiest to work on. At least the of ones I have used.
Do not pay for software
They are making the profit. I doubt very much that you are a principal or stockholder in the company. That being the case, why should you bear the financial burden. Again, don't enable this kind of bad behavior. There are plenty of honest and decent companies out there. This does not sound like it is one of them.
They have a software
and you have to use that software so it takes a lot of time. For every report you have to open up that software, search for the MT, search for other stuff and type the corrections in that form instead of on the report itself. That stuff gets sent to the MT. You get credit for only 15 lines for blanks no matter how many blanks there are.
The only time you get credit for the whole report is if you do a full listen and they are on full QA. Major ripoff.
No, just the software.
Email me if you want more info.
Software?
Perhaps they are getting ready to change software, platform, or make some changes with their programs.
What is the best expansion software to use
I may be taking a position with them and need to know which program works.
Their software is downloadable
from the EmDat website. They tell you that you need to pay for it and you should run fast. I have heard that they are not wonderful or even remotely close to wonderful.
Escription software
Looking for companies that use this voice recognition software. I think it's great and would love to find more work using that platform. Thanks for any info!
Question about software...
I start for Medware later this week. I am a rehire and before worked on Merit, but this time am working on the Dictaphone software. Is this the same software that MQ used at one time? For those who are employees now I would love to hear from you, please feel free to email me. I am hoping I made the righ decision to go back, but I think I have. I am just wondering what the difference is in the two platforms and if you get your line counts okay. Thanks.  
They have their own proprietary software...
very similar to MS Word. Easy to use. Disregard the person's post about 8.5 cpl for 1400 lpd - should get facts from the recruiter about pay and benefits. If you want to ask any more questions, I would be happy to e-mail you.
They use DOS-based software sm
Medtype and Medrite. Nothing done in Word. All DOS-even email. Use PC anywhere for file transfer over phone line. 6 cents per line to start. QA 98-100 is very difficult to get and maintain. They supply equipment.
Not at all. I have 3 different types of software and
all three use a wave pedal. Two of them use USB and the other a 15-pin, and there is no conflict in the programming of each one.
