I live in Atlanta and I just called the management company who manages 945 East Paces Ferry. They do not have a tenant who is leasing under the name of JAX Transcription. There are several businesses at this address with various suite numbers. They confirmed that Transcend is a tenant, but there is no record of a Jax Transcription.
The person who is posting ads needs to be more forthright. What's the deal here?

yep, very fishy.....sm
Shapin does have an ad looking for editors on another job board too.
And that is what I think is so fishy about them.

Something fishy sm
Googled DocXpress...no results pertaining to an MTSO or MT company or transcription came up.
The email address that the person leaves in the post has the domain name of naturalhealthway.com. I typed www.naturalhealthway.com in my browser, and the website has nothing to do with transcription, either.
Wondering what the dillio with that post is all about, to be honest...
Looks like something fishy here...
LOL.
something fishy
I work for a company that promotes VR all the time now forcing us to move to it and I know I will have to move to VR for less pay or leave the company which I have always liked until now. I don't understand. We are running out of work because VR is getting most of it but when I looked up old reports I see that my supervisor is typing them. Makes me real suspicious. We don't have enough work anyway unless you work VR then my supervisor is typing reports. I wonder if the company is in trouble or if everybody has just quit? I can't say the name of the company here
Fishy is right
I even checked with supe to see if there were server problems. Just told, Sorry it's unusually slow today. I'm usually told to check back later but they didn't even suggest that! It's almost as if all the jobs on my account were *manually* removed and outsourced to other MTs.
That sounds fishy to me!

Sounds fishy
Does sound a little fishy. Thanks for the replies.
Sounds fishy...
All my MTs are ICs and they are all responsible for purchasing their own software, equipment, etc. It sounds like this company is making a decent buck on software programs...do the math (# of MTs x $25/month = ??). I wouldn't work there if I were you. It also sounds like you MTs are paying for their accounting paperwork every month. That should be a business expense for the company, not the MT. JMHO. 
Sounds fishy to me
and my tax refund is spent.
Something sounds fishy here.
Someone mentioned that your company would never know if you erased and retyped (but they would b/c they could monitor keystrokes) and you said they were their rules so you're sticking by them. I agree with that. But now you're saying that they're the hospital rules. There is no way the hospital can monitor your Keystrokes or even has the time to monitor the keystrokes of every single report that goes through their system. That is internal data of the company. There is no way the hospital would know if you erased and retyped.
Sounds fishy
While I was reading your post, even before you mentioned, it, I thought this sounded like an inside job. I agree that you should contact a lawyer or at least fight for unemployment. Also, file a lawsuit against the company since you have proof that you did not submit the resignation. Maybe a lawyer would have success in getting a court order to obtain more details from Yahoo regarding the identity of the sender of that fraudulent email.
This sounds fishy to me.

Sounds fishy to me, too
We were all notified by e-mail. Why on earth would someone miss anything as important as a conference call?
Something is fishy if the email is returned and you
respond directly to the one sent to you. I would just forget trying to contact them. It sounds too strange.
Thanks! It looked fishy on a job post elsewhere.
Never heard of RBS before. Says they also handle actors as agents. Interesting...perhaps a multifaceted corporation. Thanks for your help.
Sounds pretty fishy, to me. - sm
What would the patients' meeting their deductibles have to do with anything?
The hospital telling MTSO & MTs not to log on would make me nervous. Could be they're just about to lose that account.
At the very least, I'd be putting feelers out there for other possible job opportunities. $42/pay period is unacceptable, as is being told to 'be patient'. Will your creditors 'be patient' when you can't pay them? I don't think so.
Somewhere along the line, people who employ MTs seem to have forgotten that this isn't just a HOBBY with us - we're trying to make an actual living at this.
Not fishy. Just a transcriptionist who has worked for
2 companies which did not count correctly and after having done a minute to line comparison finding that the present job is not counting correctly either. Perhaps the wording is awkward. Should have asked who counts lines with a correct line to minute ratio. And you know what that means if you have been in the business long enough.
There is something fishy going on, you ask where the work is and they hem and haw. I am about histo
I am sure they overhired or it is going to speech, Idon't know how that works but usually when the work dries up on a lucrative account, speech is involved.
I agree. Sounds way fishy to me.nm

Sounds fishy...methinks
Seems like you could have contacted the IRS and told them the situation and provided bank statements that showed you didn’t get paid the 50,000. I would have done that. The banks send the IRS paperwork every year on what your interest is anyways, so they have a record of what your account has looked like. You paid the money for 50,000 you didn't get to the IRS instead? That seems odd to me. Who would do that? I would call the IRS and tell them what happened. When I file taxes through Turbo Tax it actually asks if you need any of your forms ammended. I would have called and asked for them to help me get it ammended.
Funny, I was hired at 9 CPL. Something is fishy. nm

Very Fishy Story He's Telling You
I have 3 different platforms installed on my Vista laptop at the moment, and none of them are having trouble with the others living there too. Something doesn't sound right.
Can you afford to buy a separate computer? Perhaps one of those netbooks for $300 or so, and then hook it up to your (old) big monitor and keyboard? That would eliminate OSi from even needing to know that you are working for anyone or what other platforms you're using.
It sounds like a sneaky way to enforce an ILLEGAL non-compete agenda to me.
Hmmm...sounds kinda fishy to me.
They need to give you a straight answer.
There's something fishy here. The anti-KS troll is back!

I was told that they do outsource a very low number of jobs, but I have yet to find very many who don't now. At least they're honest about it. They have different platforms for different accounts, and the one I'm working on pays for spaces, headers, footers, etc., and I really like it. They are hiring right now.

I am a radiology transcriptionist who has worked at a hospital for the past 5 years. Due to medical reasons I can no longer make that commute every day and I'm looking for an at home job. Reading through all the posts here is so discouraging. If so many of you who have worked at home for years don't know who to trust, how do I ever stand a chance? I haven't applied to any companies yet. I'm hoping some of you who do radiology and are happy (or at least not miserable) can give me some guidance. Thank you.

I think it is the same few people doing all the complaining. They all sound very similar.
I wouldn't worry about too much of it.
Start with the big nationals and see if you like them. If you don't, go with smaller nations, then MTSOs, etc.

I just went through all the posts and read them about Keystrokes. I am an ex-employee of KS. I want to know why some of these MTs are being so degraded like they are by current KS employees. There are 2 different types of negative posters. There is the disgruntled employee who likes to stir the pot. Then there is the ex-employee who had real issues and problems with a company and posts their experiences and opinions about such. I see many ex-KSers posting about just that. Their experiences. The things that they know best about KS, the things that happened personally to them while working there. Then I see current KSers being combative in their words, degrading, very unprofessional and I am shocked.
A Keystrokes employee, maybe management, has come on here and publically named quite a few names as the owner's of these negative posts. Naming names publically without any knowledge or proof that is the person that they are naming. There is no evidence based on any one of these posts that points unwaveringly that it is any of these people whose names have been flamed. No one at Keystrokes can possibly know who they belong to based on the content of the post, as many, many ex-KSers have had the same complaints over the years. It is simply impossible. I find this very unprofessional and unethical.
Lee has posted on this forum many times, lashing out, being nice, getting on her "soapbox." But I am quite sure given the history that she has also posted on here without placing her name with the post. I know that a current KSer has stated that Lee always posts her name with her post so that everyone knows it is hers. But as any simpleton would know, you could post anon just as easily. I want to know why any current KSer, or anyone else for that matter, would be surprised to think that people are considering Lee as the owner of some of these current posts since we have all seen how Keystrokes maintains a history of flaming people publically in a dirty, under-handed way. It is too far a stretch to imagine that she could post hurtful things, untruthful things without leaving her name?
I am sure that there are a lot of MTs that have a good experience at KS and can understand their wanting to defend their company. But this does not take away from the very real fact that many have had some terrible issues with this company. It is evident in the pattern that has long since been set. There are too many MTs that state the same complaints over too long of a period of time. No amount of good publicity can deflect from this truth.
I do know that if I so happen to see my name publically expressed on this forum by anyone at KS in response to any of these posts, there will be some serious repercussions for KS. I think that this needs to stop immediately and the staff and MTs at KS need to buckle down and cool off and remember what it is exactly that they are doing.

This was the worst company that I have worked for in 30 years! Their platform is horrible! If you want to talk to Indians every day, then go work for them! This was not the company for me,
I could barely make 1300 lines per day, and I was on 4 accounts! Supervisor was like talking to a brick wall, I don't think she has ever transcribed a day in her life.
I tried to make it work, I really did, but when it came down to it, I have become acustomed to making enought money to afford bread and milk and wasn't going to be able to working at Heartland!
See message--I put nm, but there was one
But the new platform SUCKS, and you can't edit 40% more lines on the new platform. I would guess on average maybe 20% more lines, but definitely not 40% on an every-day basis--only when there are a couple of the better dictators on. And even if I could, I would have liked to know ahead of time

I did not start working because I was NEVER TRAINED...how can you start working on an account and not have any training? I'm good, but not psychic for IDs and account specifics! What I'm leaving out is all the calls to the office and emails to the office, the cursing and tearing out of my hair trying to find a job again after accepting this position. I spoke directly with Lee - she hired me, and I felt she was someone I could work with....never more wrong in my life. Please don't start accusing ME of leaving something out when your company left ME out in the cold.
P.S. to see message
P.S. - by the way, all these messages will soon disappear as soon as someone tells the office, and they will have them all taken off so future job seekers will not see these warnings....just watch, happens all the time.

I have been in that situation and here is what I did..
I called the hospital to inquire of their transcription service they use, told them my situation, and they gave me the name of the company they are with as well as the person to contact and the contact number.
You should ask if there was a problem with quality or if there were any quality issues, just to be sure that was not the reason for it going with another service.
If that was the reason, they may be reluctant to give you any information.
Good luck!
In my case, it was $$$$ and they needed a full EMR, which the service I was with could not provide. They were very happy with the quality, and actually were pretty eager to get me to go with the new company.
Best of luck and I hope it works out for you.

Try Oracle (OTI). They hire part-time, and everyone they hire is an IC. Very nice people. There is a lot of work all the time, and the pay is good too.

I worked for Medquist in California, so I can't speak for you where you are working. You are an MT right? Medquist is currently offering huge sign on bonuses to try to attract qualified people. They are begging for people, so I think if you are half way good they are going to try every way possible to keep you with them. I think they need people badly. Have you been doing this a long time? There are just so many advertisements for MTs that believe me be you will get a job right away if you are willing to work for little. That is the unfortunate fact of it as far as I can tell. I am slowly rooting around, sifting through all the bull shit, trying to find a place that pays well and has a little integrity, i.e., provides medical insurance for a not too many lines and is not just a bunch of uncaring liars who want to waste my time. I just quit MQ about two weeks ago after being at the same company for the better part of a decade, even if they were not always MQ. I took a huge pay cut. I was being paid by the gross line and they had me buy a computer and then started counting the lines differently. I do not know how they were counting them. I had no way to verify it and I was just so pissed off I couldn't stand to work for them any longer. I think you need to go to the drug store and pick up some Benadryl (its harmless and it will make you sleepy) get a good night's sleep and if you are still nervous about losing your job at MQ start looking around and comparing. You'll be just fine and you will like working at home a whole lot better than putting on make up, getting dressed, fighting traffic, etc., to get into the office. Good luck and good night.

We are not trying to be sneaky. An ad had gone on a website about four months ago, and even though it stated no recruiters, no services and no freelancers - guess what? TONS AND TONS AND TONS of what we asked NOT TO respond, did respond.
We are located in the northeast part of the United States. I know that when people hear northeast they automatically think SNOW!! But actually our winters are very mild here.
