Is Rapid Tran-Script, LTD and Rapid Transcript, Inc both are same companies? I will really appricate any information regarding this.

Rapid Tran-Script, LTD  using Demesys as their workflow system name.

I am working for them from the last two months but not have getting paid till now...........Thanks!

Sometimes if it doesn't work exactly perfect they can send you a fix to make it work. The link is on their webpage somewhere and they have a forum where you can search, too.

I'm getting ready to start applying and these are the companies that I'm looking at.  So give me the low-down.  Good, bad, India?

Here are my criteria:

9 cpl or better

Does NOT send work to India

Good accounts with at least 50/50 of ESL versus American dictators

Consistent work flow - no downtime or time spent waiting for work

Upper management should be professional, positive, and encouraging.

Pay for lines WITH spaces.

Is there such a job out there or am I just dreaming?  If there are other companies other than the ones I listed that would fit the bill, please feel free to let me know. I tested with TransHealth and I felt like I tanked.  It was a hard test and I had to use the mouse to stop and start the dictation as it was online test and you couldn't download the voice files.  So that made it a lot more difficult.  One of the dictators was cutting himself off through the report and I had to leave some blanks.  I'm very frustrated with this whole process of looking and testing.  Are all the tests like that?  Or are there companies that allow you download the test files and transcribe them using your pedal and software?  Ugh!  I am just so frustrated and discouraged.

Thanks for any helpf.

Any opinions.  Keystrokes sounds insanely good, but with everybody going there to work, I am afraid they will be overbooked.  I heard Smartmed was hard dictation. Is this possibly truth?

Can someone give me some RECENT info on either of these 2 companies.  I am curious about their new VR platform at Amphion and about the clinic platform, I think it is Allscripts, at keystrokes.  How much are they offering for line rates, etc.  Any details would be appreciated.  Still not sure MT is the way to go here, if you know what I mean.  Thanks.

Does anybody have any information on People Support?  I see they have several job offers available and I have never heard of them.  Any info would be greatly aprpeciated--good or bad.

Any recent info re: AEGIS/People Support out of Burbank?  How is their platform, lots of ESL's, pay on time, etc???  Info. I found was over a year old.  Thanks in advance.... wandering...

between the 2 companies, which would you choose?  I read very little about Acusis, but they seem to have a good benefit package (which start after 1 month, not 90 days) and they start at 1/2 more per line, although Keystrokes apparently reviews your wage after 90 days (I think) and you are eligible for a raise.  I have heard mostly positive things about Keystrokes but relatively nothing about Acusis. 

Any thoughts/experiences would be appreciated. 

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.

Hope this helps.

Wow!  What a web site!  New to me as I have not begun working from home yet.   Hey, Listen .... I am very excited to be taking on a new Radiology Transcription position with Keystrokes in the near future.  I'd love to be prepared for the job and ready to kick out as many reports as possible on my first day of work.  I have received the USB foot control, but am not yet set up to work.  However, if there's anyone out there that could give me some "preparedness pointers"  PRIOR to my first day of work, I'd sure appreciate it.  (Currently still working in a hospital setting).  Thank you kindly!         

Hello out there!  Can anyone provide any info on working for Keystrokes, Radiology Division?  Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Do they pay by report or line for rad?  Are there steady rad accounts where you don't run out of work often?  If you don't want to reply here, please e-mail me, and if anyone responds by e-mailing me, please let me know that you did send me an e-mail.  For some reason, the last 2 replies I got from posters on here, I didn't receive the e-mail so I'm trying a different e-mail address to see if I get replies at that address.  TIA.

Hello to my fellow Keystrokes Radiology Transcriptionists!  I just got hired by Keystrokes and really feel that I got blessed to have gotten on with this company although I have no misgivings about the hard work that lies ahead.  I will begin training next week.  I do have long-term experience which is hospital and clinic based, but I am sure that there are many tricks of the trade that at-home transcriptionists use to build speed that I am not familiar with.    I received a "Boomerang and Trans/Net USB Foot Control Adapter" from Keystrokes.  If you are familiar with this equipment, can you tell me a little bit about it, and in addition, which shorthand or shortcut speed typing software will work with this equipment.  I would love your advice and guidance with respect to how I can set myself up in the best way possible to "keep up with the big boys!"   Some day, I'll be there for "the new kid" just as I am asking for your assistance now.  I have a full office set up, but have yet to purchase the necessary software I'll need to make my job run more efficiently.  I also have a library of medical books, but rather than list them, if you would let me know of any absolute necessities you think I should have on my book shelf, I'd really appreciate your letting me know.  I thank you in advance for your helpful hints.  Jayne, from Port Townsend, Washington.  P.S.  Do I even need to purchase a shorthand software program?  Perhaps Keystrokes provides that?  I'll be getting installed the first part of next week.  Thanks again!

Do they offer direct deposit?  How often are you paid?  How about benefits?  Anyone who can shed some light on this?  Oh, is there plenty of radiology work and how flexible are they?
