Actually, it's Kelley, not Kelly
..
I'm not Kelly, but I e-mailed you
 Hope you don't mind - I have some TT questions or just some ramblings about MQ...
Kelly Fast
Has anyone heard of this company?
Kelly, which account are you applying for??
If you are applying for ortho using Emdat. There is LOTS of work. Im not sure what account the person who talks about cherrypicking works on, but there has been tons of work lately. Again, not sure what account she is talking about with the bad dictators because ALL of the ortho emdat docs are pretty darn easy compared to other nationals. The pay isn't the greatest, but I would rather type easier accounts for less pay then ESLs for 1-2 cpl more. I really enjoy working for them. Hope this helps!!
To Kelly who sent me an e-mail about TransTech
I have been at Transtech for about a year and a half and I can honestly say that it is the best job I have had in this industry. Since I worked on Extext in the past the only thing I had to learn were dictators - not bad at all, and account specifics which were very easy, only a couple pages long, very concise and easy to understand. My account specifics at MedQuist were so long and confusing and full of redundant things. Don't worry about learning new things, it is so worth it especially since you have some Extext experience. It will come back to you because it is such an easy platform to use. Management has been great. My little boy has a birth defect and sometimes I have disrupted and crazy days but they are very understanding.
Go for it, Kelly, I promise you will agree that it is worth the effort!!
Kelly, try posting your question with the
Names of the companies in the Subject line, that way people will know without opening your message what type of information you are looking for. Then only people who know anything about those companies will respond.
There are archives that you can check, too, to find past comments and discussions.
I'm sorry I can't help you with your actual question (MD-IT or Meridian), but hopefully this information will help you get the information you do need.
Good luck (and don't let the trolls get you down! ;-)
Her first name is not even Linda...
Her first name is NOT Linda, so could it be possible that the rest of your post is not credible either? You should, at the very least, get the facts correct before you post things, especially if they can ruin a person's reputation. I found the owner to be very accommodating and easy to work with, and as I said in my first post, I was paid in full. I left on very good terms and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.
Hi Linda
Thank you for replying to my post. I would love to get some additional information regarding this company, if you would be willing to email me? I am curious as to benefits (I noticed that they are available to FT IC's), pay scale, etc. Thank you again for your help!
Is that you, Linda C?
How's it going?
Thanks, Linda s/m
Yep, the gourd is still around. No plans to change my moniker. I've been around a long time going back to the days when clerk/typists were the medical transcriptionists using the old manual typewriters, you know, the ones where you had to fling the carriage return at the end of every line? How great it was when the electric typewriters came into being. LOL
Anybody working for Kelly Co. Transcription out of Missouri??
She had an ad on Job Seeker's board for a cardiology MT....
lol, no I am not referring to Kelly Temp Services....
I know who you are referring to...the temporary employment agency co. The Kelly Co. I am referring to is a small MTSO in MO.
Linda, don't worry about the VR.
 Linda, don't worry about how long it takes you to learn the shortcut keys in VR. You are doing great at just a few weeks into it. It will take time for the speed to build up. I have been doing MT work for 5 years, VR for 4 of those years and I love it. I kow there are some negative posts on this forum about VR, but it has allowed me to keep working as an MT even though I had so much pain with carpal tunnel syndrome. I routinely do 350-400 lph on DP ExText Turbo Speech and some MTs at my company do much higher than that. I see only positives in doing VR for someone like me, since I am no spring chicken.
Hang in there and give it more time; it will get MUCH easier and you will get fast very quickly.
Kelly is a temporary service company that's been around for years. sm
You may not be old enough to remember Kelly girls. They used to be strictly secretarial, but do all branches of temporary work and job placement now. It may be a temp or temp-to-hire position through them, or then I could be totally wrong.
ATTN: LINDA WITH ORACLE
Linda, I posted a response to you on the previous message regarding oracle but it has now been moved to the second page. I sent you an email through MTStars but you can also click on my name and send me an email. I would to get some additional information from you regarding Oracle.
TIA
Who does Linda Greer work for....
.
TTS is owned by Linda Kelley
She works for Medware. How their business arrangement works - do not know.
Comments on Lee Perfect and Linda? nm
nm
Linda got the "coffee" notion from me.
I was responding on a thread about 3 cents a line pay, suggesting that that rate might do quite well on an account with a good proportion of fairly clean reports coming through. I used to work on a couple of those, and the best reports were scary good--virtually no changes made. Some required few, most required some, and some required more than some. If you know what I mean. :)
I should, however, have gone on with the perspective that my company currently pays me over 7 cents a line because even the relatively good reports on these accounts require a great deal of cleanup. To put it mildly, what is an appropriate line rate for this work depends on the amount of editing needed.
Linda, you'll get still better, of course, but you seem to be on the right track in evaluating whether VR system + accounts +line rate equal a satisfactory bottom line.
BTW, sipping coffee (or eating dinner as someone else does) at 3 cents a line means you're scanning those reports intensely, full attention, as fast as you can manage. I definitely like it better than typing docs, but even on the best accounts it IS real work, with brain hard at the shoveling while fingers stand around holding the wheelbarrow.
Linda, you are soooo right, when I was younger and dumber....sm
I was sooo afraid of using shortcuts, I watched the screen like a hawk and typed everything verbatim and screwed myself out of so much money! I wondered what the secret was to all those MTs who would chat up a storm, and till make a higher line count than me, and they had less experience....They used their shortcuts/expanders for everything, and once I learned this and worked on mine, my line count zoomed and I consistently made high incentive pay and bonus....don't underestimate this tool. Thanks for bringing this up, Linda! 
Has anyone worked with Linda Kelley of TTS/Medware & can you tell me about your experience, please?
Has anyone worked with Linda Kelley of TTS/Medware, and can you please tell me about your experience?? THANKS SO VERY MUCH, your time is greatly appreciated!!!
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
Hmm, wonder what the owner will say
no flame, but I would not tolerate that kind of off loading in a public forum from someone on my management team. Please remember I was responding to horn tooting that was short on information and left an impression that huh, I could do better elsewhere in addition to feeling insulted at the lack of decent benefits. There was no mention of UC contribution, STD or LTD, employer paying part of the health insurance premiums.
I said what I said mostly to make the point. If you want to sell me, do a good job the first time or you sink yourself and I won't look at you twice. There was little in the original post to sway me in your favor and the Jeckle/Hyde posting afterwards warns me of good day/bad day tangents.
As I said, best of luck to your company.
Are you the owner of
Why not just post the email address of the 'administrator'. Are you just trying to draw traffic to your forums and away from the forums here.
Seems to me, if you are really seeking MTs you'd just post like the other companies do on the Job board.
it USED to mean owner (sm)
back when most MT services were little and there was a real owner. Now that there are so many huge multinationals with no owner to take personal responsibility for the service, it's sort of transmogrified to mean organization, but that's redundant.
Just take it as meaning a service. Once again, AAMT, worthless as ever, ruins the language.
no changes that i know of. Same owner.
x
and this is the new owner
 My god you people are so gullable. That picture could have come from anyones kitchen!!!
How do you know? Are you the owner?
They are obviously losing something if there's no work. Have you been with them since they started or something? Do you know of every account MDI has or what? How can you make a blanket statement like that?
I can't believe people sit frustrated about no work and don't move on; that's just plain silly. There are tons of companies hiring; get on with it already! Come on show your stuff to a company that will appreciate you and not OVERHIRE!
Owner? sm
I thought someone named Tracy owned Net-Med?
Should be owner's...sorry. nm

A few posts on here say the owner is a mean one. nm
,
Owner is snarky.

As the owner of Omniscribe.... sm
I would like to come here and say that I have no idea who this individual is. She/he has never worked for me and my paychecks have NEVER been late. A company who does not pay their MTs would go under in no time flat and I am still going. Omniscribe is a very small company and I can count on one hand the number of MTs who have left here. Not one of them would come to a public forum to bash me or my company, so I'd be very curious to know who you are. I'm certain you have me and my company confused with some other place.
Oh, okay. I thought it was okay because the owner
people are saying DEROGATORY things about her. I was saying GOOD things and mine was deleted.
Is this really the owner of a company
Wow! You are soooooooooo ghetto and ignorant. I am speechless!
As a business owner
I have had people give notice and then NOT work their full shifts because they were leaving. Contracts can stipulate that you can be deducted pay for not fulfilling your contract.
Anyway, there are other methods to collect funds owed, if they are due.
I just do not feel that public character assassination is an appropriate manner to do so.
Walk a mile in my shoes!
You said you spoke to the owner.
You are not credible.
owner, not organization.
Remember the Owner
I remember reading another board a few years back....maybe quite a few years...and I remember distinctly J. Weight's name. I know she was one of the most argumentative and flaming people out there. Stay away.
Why would you talk to owner?
Perhaps she is an account lead. That, or a buttkisser.
Why I spoke with the owner - sm
SHE called me, SHE hired me, SHE promised me a job at a certain rate, SHE gave me all kinds of excuses why the job never materialized and then I never heard from anyone again. Enough said.
I also spoke with the owner for the same
exact reasons. She called me, she hired me, she emailed me daily, she offered me account after account, which never materialized while I did crap work just waiting for her promises to be kept. Guess what? They never were!
Owner of a company
I agree with you. I would not want the responsility of owning a company or even managing. My dad was in management for 28 years. You are not there to make everyone happy and sometimes people have to be let go. If you cannot keep your end of the deal I would make you move on. Actually I would be a real hard a-- if I were a manager. A lot of it has to do with respect for each other. You need to appreciate what you have. Too many times these days everyone just wants a pay check regardless of anything else. Some people do not take pride in their work or anything else. Every thing is not hunky dorry every single day, either on our side or a manager/company owner's side. It is just not realistic.
The owner will encourage you to
talk to her current staff, etc., but that is definitely biased. An anonymous board like this is is a safer.
and........ the owner of this company
is subcontracting work out for Medware. Medware and herself are one in the same.
....starting with the owner! lol
x
Use full name of owner. nm
The owner does at least read here..
I had posted here complaining ile back that I couldn't get ahold of the recruiter who offered me a position and the owner of the company sent me a personal email to get in touch with her as they were moving offices and the recruiter was off part of that week.
You have got to be kidding. KS is a little too big for the owner to sm
bother coming in here and posting under other names. I used to see her name on posts, but it was years ago. I think they are very big now, and she probably has more important things to do than post on a board, much less use different names. There are over 300 MTs at Keystrokes. I would bet that only a handful post, but the positives are definitely from actual MTs. Wow. I am amazed at the things that people come up with. If there were not positives, they would not have employees. I have been there for 5 years, and so have most of the other KS MTs that I have gotten to know over the years.
Keystrokes owner
Hi-do you know if Keystrokes owner is named Jill?
Keystrokes owner
Thanks, I actually found that out when I went to the website. I used to work in a hospital for someone who lived in Yorkville and started her own company who was very nice and great to work for. I was thinking, WOW, has she made it! Thanks
