No flames from here, been trying to tell
others how good Escription can be at times. I liked the part where you talked about sipping coffee and having the foot pedal run at full speed. I am that way eating dinner, just sit and look at the words flying by, hardly having to stop. The platform, can do weird things sometimes so i feel MTs will always be needed, do not see a time when it will be 100% but for the present time I love it.
Two kinds of flames
flame icon beside a post on MTStars means it is a hot topic (I believe 200 or more hits)
Better fake flames on an internet forum, than
real flames from something such as a Molotov cocktail and a match.
Venting is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing.
Flames? Putting on my flame retardant suit. sm
So what if some are happy and express their feelings about a company. If given the companies and the reasons, each of us can use this info as we need to. The remarks that just say Stay away don't help anyone. In fact, makes me wonder what the poster did that contributed to the bad remark. If someone disagrees with your reaction to a company and flames you or if you get flamed for giving reasons, seems to me you are getting flamed one way of the other. Might as well give reasons and help educate the rest of us. And no one knows who you are, what do you care about the flames? Actually, when I get flamed, I have to smile a little to think about how I got everyone excited for a few minutes.
I LOVE DSG!! Been there almost 3 years. sm
The management staff is great, easy platform, pay is always on time, flexible schedule.
Yes they are still around - been there 3 years and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
I also have 12 years in, and would love to get out.....
Would you mind emailing me and letting me in on where you went to.......it sounds like a much better, happier place. I can't see things at the Q getting any better....Thanks!
Been with MQ for 8 years and love it.

I have done ER for 2 1/2 years and LOVE it. sm
I work full time too, and we seldom run out of work. If we should, (and that is rare), almost everybody is cross trained in other work types. Some times it gets boring..how many ways can you pull out a splinter or diagnose chest pain? The hospital I work for is the largest hospital on the west side of Michigan. Every single ER doc uses the same basic template. Then we have canned text. We are also allowed to make as many Expanders and macros as we can use to achieve your production quota. We have our fair share of mushmouths and speed talkers, page turners and dead air. And of course, every summer the new crop of residents rotates through, along with the medical students, and other hangers-on. LOL. We are still paid by the hour, but that is going to be changing as we have started VR. The higher-ups just haven't figured out how to do it yet.
ER's are busy 24/7 and more so during holidays, so the work is always there. If you like a variety, and you will get it, you will like ED work. There will be days you just shake your head in amazement at some of the stuff you will see come through the ER.
I love it too. It will just be gone in a few years. It's just
nmmm
Been there 1-1/2 years - still love it! nm

I have been there for over 2 years and I love it...
great company to work for...You will not be disappointed :)
2 years at Medware - love it

Been there for 4 years and absolutely love it! sm
Good accounts, pay on time via direct deposit, higher pay than most, smaller company where people still know you by name and truly care. As for the platform, you type in Bayscribe and send your reports in live via the web site. Some accounts are converting to wav files, and some are still via C-phone and you have to pay your own long distance.
Of course, as with all companies, one man's paradise is another man's hell, so I am sure there are those who will disagree with me. If I can answer anymore questions, fee free to ask.
Good luck! 
I have worked there for about 2-1/2 years and love it. sm
I had a problem a few months ago waiting for an ID for a new account when I asked for a change. I am glad that they kept me on my original account during the wait because it took over 3 weeks. I was told that the hospitals can take a while but the wait was worth it as I am on the best radiology account I have ever been on. I have never run out of work and get paid both well and on time, so I am happy.
It is worth the wait.
Worked at MW for over 1.5 years and love it!
 Email me for more info. :)
I love working for them.. have been with them for YEARS. xx

I have been there 3 years and only do rad. I was trained well and love my job. sm
The only complaint I have is that 2 accounts I was on went to Powerscribe. I was put on different accounts because I do not like to edit VR, so there was really not a problem. I get a lot of work and love my lead!
I agree...I have been with them for 2 years and love them...
They are the best, for me at least!!!
I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
I love Transcend, have been there for years...
started with MDI. The offshore component is mostly on Escription, and has never affected my workload.
Transcend is a good company; they treat me well and I make great money - I could care less if they offshore. Then again, I also have a Samsung TV, a German car and many things made in China!
Been at Keystrokes for 2-1/2 years and LOVE it!

I have also been at Keystrokes 2-1/2 years and love it...
Great company.
Ihave nearly 20 years' experience and love doing
Ops. All the other stuff is so boring to me. Not many days go by that I don't have to look something up. There is always a new piece of equipment, a new procedure, and when you get new doctors coming it they may been from a different part of the country and their terminology is different for the same procedure that the other doctors use. It is a constantly learning process. If you have good reference material and utilize the equipment manufacturer's websites that helps provided the dictation is clear enough that you can figure out which way to go with it. If you can do just one speciality, like doing GI procedures or orthopedic procedures it will give you lots of practice and it will be easier to become familiar with the terminology. If you can get samples of dictations that will help also. I would definitely take a chance on doing Ops. You might not be able to do them, but then you might surprise yourself. You always have the word boards to help when you really get stuck. I think it is a great opportunity for a newbie.
I LOVE working for TransTech. Been there almost three years and it's
the best MT job I have ever had. You will enjoy talking with Debbie, who does the hiring.
I have used it for the past 2 years through another company and love it!! nm

I have been with KS for a few years now and love it. They grow continuously without sm
losing accounts, so that is why they are always recruiting. The last information I saw was that they doubled in size between last year and this year and will do so again by this time next year.
I left MQ for KS 2 years ago and love it. They have a lot of rad accounts. sm
I make great money even though I took a report pay cut because there is always work!
Why not call them and ask? I've been with them for 2 years and love it. Best company
I have ever worked for. There is always plenty of work, pay is decent and on time, and best of all I am treated well. They offer all kinds of bonuses, continuing education pay, vacation pay, reasonable insurance through Aetna, life insurance. Am I getting rich off this? No. Am I paid reasonably well? Yes. Would I recommend Transtech? Absolutely!
I am in training - 27 years experience. Love the platform! nm

I hope it's a rumor..I left MQ for KS 3 years ago..I finally found a place I love (sm)
so I hope the rumor is not true!
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
I too love path & can't find it at home & would love to cross-train into rad in the meantime I do
Love this company, love my boss, very informative QA.nm.

Does anyone think 41 is too old to go to nursing school. I love MT but I just would love to be a
nurse. I have such a interist in helping others and the medical world.
Love, love, love DeVenture
Super nice, flexible and just all around nice to work for.
Love, love, love Axolotl
I totally love Axolotl. Just as A-team said, fantastic benefits. Yes, strict schedule, but never ever had a problem getting off when I needed to. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.
I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.
Honda is 11 years old, 190,000 miles . Toyota was 15 years old and 279,000 superb

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.
I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
30 years - this WAS my career. The last few years you guys have ruined it.
You work 9-5? Big deal. I work more than you do. I bet I work harder too. Treat US with respect, lady!
Don't talk to us like that and don't expect us to kiss your feet. Kiss ours for a change!
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
I would love to know too, I love EXText

Love Bayscribe and love the pay
At 11 cpl I love working for MDI Maryland. Bayscribe is a breeze. The lines build up so quickly. Everything is right there on the page. Sometimes, you have to fill in patient data, but who cares.... you do get paid for it. No holiday or vacation pay as it is an IC position. It beats 8 and 9 cpl any day. IMO
Love, love Archivus
Mind my asking what your line rate is? Do you have to work a schedule? Is their platform good? Anything else?
love/hate MT, mostly love it :)
i've long been dismayed with the direction in which this profession has gone, and i agree with the person who posted that women have accepted substandard wages and/or unfair IC or employment situations. It's very sad to see how, when outsourcing became the norm, women did not adequately negotiate to, you know, pay their bills!!! It seems this has resulted in lots of undercutting and lower line rates for everyone. I see some companies slowly improving and not requiring crazy line counts and hours in exchange for paying into health insurance. i entered this profession as a single female. i married an engineer and was living mighty comfy and cushy and happily doing 4 hours at 11 cpl in the late 90s. didn't have to worry about not having bennies at all. now as a single mom with a young child, i truly struggle. but i do love my work and hold out for my specialty to keep the line count up. still, i see the glaring problems and it's just a shame. if there were an MT union, i'd join in a heartbeat. no time/energy to start one and be some kind of norma rae, though!
Ah, yes, a love/hate thing indeed!
Best to all of you wonderful mts, male and female :)
It wasn't tough 5 years ago. Or 10 years ago, yet
How to you spell
G-R-E-E-D ???
All the shifty, dishonest, greedy pigs in this country belong in JAIL.
WHAT IS UP WITH SOFTSCRIPT
Okay, pay late CONSTANTLY. ABSOLUTELY no communication from anyONE. What the heck is going on. I am RUNING while I still can, QA SUCKS. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS OR JUST ME A NEWBIE?
Softscript
I also worked for Softscript awhile back but never had a problem with the paychecks, they were maybe a day or two late here and there. I just got tired of being on different accounts. I think one should have one account and get fluent on that with the same docs. It is more productive for both the MT and the company!!  But I am EXTREMELY happy where I am at now, which is Keystrokes!!!! THAT COMPANY ROCKS!!! Woooo Hooooo
