Horrible spell check, had to C&P onto word doc. to use spell checker. Slow, used ADT which did not
:+
No, that's what spell check is for. nm

I don’t have to spell check here
and I was showing what I find, did you not read my posting about what I found in the neurologist's office, a sign spelled sureries.. I am not perfect, did not say that. You should edit yourself.
spell check is not, that is why I said you have to know how to look things up.
Knowing how to spell or thinking you know how to spell a word is not enough.
Good grief. Read everything.
Can you comprehend
please spell check before you post
advice is with a C.. NOT an S
I think spell check, proofing and the sm
other things you mentioned are a given for the job. When I say proofread, I mean type a report, then go back and proof, not proof as you go. I am sure we all do that.
Everyone, regardless of what they are paid, should spell check, know their accounts, know grammar and punctuation usage, etc.
I am sure many would lose money if paid hourly, sounds like you are doing well, good for you! If I had the attention span I am sure I could make what you make. I should make that my goal this year. However, how many times on these boards have you read that I am only making $3 an hour. I have read that more than I have read that people are making what you make.
What about your benefits? Do you have retirement with matching contribution from your company? Do you have health insurance, dental, vision, etc, paid for by your company (or at least sharing the cost). Do you have paid days off? Please, I would really like to know. If I am making $30k a year with the above benefits, essentially I am almost making what you make with my benefits, wouldn't you think? I would have to run some numbers, but I think we would come very close in salary.
Also, depending on where you live, $30k can be good money. If you live in Hawaii, which is the most expensive state to live, $30k might not get you far, however, if you live in Missouri, $30k might be great money. Let's face it, $50k is not that great if you live in downtown Manhattan.
So, we throw in something else to think about, cost of living. Since an MTSO generally hires nationwide, is the cost of living of your employee a factor in what you pay?
I would think that the way an MTSO pays is generally driven by being competitive with the next company (our prices are lower)not necessarily based on cost of living or taking into consideration the education and experience of the people they are going to hire.
I agree, it's not the greatest, and I'm only saying that because of the spell check -sm
You don't have to do a lot of nonsense just to get started like you do if you're working with Lanier or Dictaphone. The only thing you have to take note of is your job#. And that you don't even have to if you don't want to, but it's recommended and I do it.
I personally count the lines myself and have found them to be 100% accurate. Of course these programs can vary, but the one I'm using is a good one and they're exact or, if anything, a little higher. I know I'm not getting cheated.
Hope that helps.
I am sorry. I was going to thank you for paying attention and doing a spell check.
Thanks 
Yes, you have to go there to pick up their loaded CPU. Pay wasn't that good, either. nm

Is there a medical spell check built in their software? n/m

BARE BONES. Not bear need a spell check!

Similar to DocQScribe, expansions go in auto-correct, horrible spell-check. nm
nm
LOL .. kinda funny when they try to be mean and can't even spell. Good for you. nm
Some do and have good accounts and fully loaded ESL accounts
Take a look at what is happening in India. For the first time, workers there have money to get themselves into debt by buying high priced items (cars for example). They now protest lower castes being allowed into universities at almost double the previous allowance. Wait until they are highly in debt, begin to feel entitled to a wage equal to that paid inthe US and then, try to form unions, get tossed out into the street and sit back with some Ben and Jerry ice cream and watch the economy collapse and all that dictation come back across the ocean. Timing is everything.
Okay, current Precysers, say it isn't so! nm

Recent Precysers - running out of work? sm
I am considering taking a job with Precyse but there is no way I can survive if they run out of work like I've heard. Is it really that dead?
I know how to spell, but you dont have to know how to spell so much
as how to look things up.
Why are you cutting on me? I know how to spell. I won my school spelling bee and went to state.
The poster above me was putting people down that cant spell.
You can work at McDonald's but I am doing fine with what I am doing.
Thanks anyway for your wonderful advice but i dont need it
got a check; is it good?
Well, I finally got a $50 check in the mail yesterday. I wonder if it's any good. Doesn't matter if you deposit it right away, or hold on to it for a while. They bounce just the same.
You can opt just to use their loaded CPU. Can keep

Check the archives - both good and bad. nm

all good if you check the archives
You can check the archives, but not much good about them.
They recently changed their name but can't remember what the other name was. They offshore, they've cut pay or restructured the pay system so you can't figure out what you're making, sound quality is not good. I think there is plenty of work because no one stays for long. They've been offering significant bonuses in the past, bu don't know details.
Check the archives. Not good at all.
Totally Indian-based company. All supervisors, QA, and trainers are in India. Very hard to understand. I would avoid them.
Thank you for this! Just first check so good to know routine - Thanks! nm
nm
Check the archives. Not very good.
I worked there very briefly about 3 years ago and hated every minute of it. It's an Indian company. Read the archives.
Can you have DQS and WebCorrect loaded at the
Is it possible to transfer the glossary from DQS to WebCorrect?
You have to use their computer. Not sure if it's loaded with DQS. nm

Yes, it is loaded with their version of DQS. nm

Nice does not make for good pay check.
Ditto, Ditto. sorry to hear that you had so much down time and not able to make any money. Well hope for the best with your new company.
That is a loaded question after today
The people are great. Very professional. The QA is wonderful. The platform is terrific and designed for high productivity although there are frequent periods of downtime, getting less often these days.
Yes you can do an average of 250 lph, just expect to do it FOR 8 HOURS EVERY SCHEDULED DAY, except when you don't have work, and then you are asked to work outside your schedule (basically Wednesday through Friday). If you want to meet your minimum and it takes you less than 8 hours, don't expect a rest until the 8 hours are up, unless there is no work.
The benefits are the best I've seen at any MT company, PTO (sick, vacation, personal) plus paid holidays in addition to any production you do on the holiday. Low cost health premiums with terrific plan coverage.
If you are able to work with them, they will certainly go out of their way to work with you. A very decent employer but like any other employer, it is feast on some days and famine on others.
The company computer comes loaded with whatever
you need to do the job. I guess they figure it is easier to load the computer and then send it to the MT rather than to connect via PC Anywhere or similar program to download the programs. You aren't paying to work for them, you are renting the equipment.
None of our accounts have the work loaded into q's for anyone. sm
I don't mind hearing that someone is not a good fit with Keystrokes or does not like the account they have been given (they can't all be great). The addresses mean that you were on an ortho account. The ONLY reason someone does not like Keystrokes ortho is that the person in charge of ortho is very committed to both high quality and TAT. She keeps a QA score card on every MT under her, keeps a log of missed deadlines and lets people go if they cannot stay up to snuff. There is nothing wrong with that; I wish I could be more like her.
I think there are good companies and bad companies out there and have said many, many times that every company is not a good fit for every MT. If that were the case, there would be no job openings and no one looking for a job. However, the bad companies are the ones that do not pay, rip off the MTs in terms of false line counts, lose accounts all the time and allow cherry-picking. None of that applies to Keystrokes.
It sounds like you were not happy and I feel bad for you as KS is a great place to work!
Still good companies in my opinion...was not on the list. Check them out for yourself OP
JLG work loaded in chunks of whatever number sm
to train/QA they send three reports at a time. hope this helps. everyone is very friendly, considerate, and helpful...
Mine does. Just loaded it on my laptop this week.
nm.
Well, you should have no reason to check if you're one of the MTs who gets good line counts.

Big Time Micromanager! And if you leave, good luck on getting that last check.
Although you are an IC, she will expect you to work a rigid schedule.
Do you live in NJ? You have to go their to train and pick up their loaded computer. nm

I know Webmedx has a time clock - with MQ I put laundry in, got coffee, loaded DW (sm)
went to the bathroom, etc. without clocking out and still kept my lines per hour up just fine. With Webmedx do you clock out for all these little things or as long as you get lines per payperiod or per hour it works out?
No news is good news for me. I check my audited reports all the time
If I need to talk with one of them, I call or IM them. But, no, I have learned that if I am doing a good job, they leave you alone to do your work. They are not in any way a company that micromanages as long as you do what you are supposed to. If you give them a reason to think you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing, they will keep an eye out on your work, etc.
Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're
