change procedures, added new staff, adding lots of new accounts and I guess they are just overloaded. I would definitely recommend a phone call. Usually after that things get rolling.

Nothing terribly bad to say, but -- sm
they have their problems and outpoints, just like every other company.
Despite the fact that a lot of MTs will divulge their pay rates, I won't, as [like most of us] I'm contractually obligated to NOT divulge such info (it's just that most people ignore that and post away anonymously anyway). Suffice it so say they're pretty average.
Nice people (in general), though a bit disorganized and not very good at communicating.
Their platform -- actually, they have two, both of which are proprietary.
The percentage of ESLs (and bad dictators, in general) will vary with the account. I have some horribly bad ones on my account, not so much due to accent but they're the whispering kind, which is even harder to do, IMO.
Be aware that they're prone to be low on work from time to time.
It really won't take too terribly long.
Work on your normals. If you haven't used Shorthand before, look for the tips on the message board. Utilize all the samples they provide from the community web page, and absolutely utilize the see last 50 reports by dictator feature. You'll be whizzing along in no time.
Then I must be doing something terribly wrong

Terribly unorganized is just the beginning with them
They take your lines from, send rude e-mails daily, never answer your questions, and have about 90% ESL. Too bad you took the job as I would recommend you go elsewhere.
Scribe - terribly slow..they always sm
blame your ISP and don't seem to care. It takes over 30 sec to load a document - WAY too slow when you are typing 200 minutes a day! Bayscribe is by far one of the best I've ever worked on.
Mine slowed down terribly, too, only I couldn't uninstall it.
I finally did disk cleanup and put all my pix and what not on a jump drive and it's running at a tolerable speed but not like it was.
Has anyone ever noticed how DQS picks up noise terribly in the background. Doesnt make my life any
easier trying to hear the dictator.
They still seem to be disorganized from what I can tell, but
I didn't have any of the particulars as far as pay, etc. Their test was a killer though.
Very disorganized...just me...nm

Still very disorganized. sm
IMHO, there are some pretty big problems especially in the communications department. They do pay on time and you probably would have enough work if you asked for more than one account. But I think they should have some hard internal come-to-Jesus meetings and get organized before they take on more accounts and more people.
very disorganized, no work, low pay
spare yourself the agony!
After one week of working for them, I notified them about my wish to terminate the contract (2 wks notification required). After completing the full 3 wks (luckily I found a good company to work for!), I sent them invoice for (whatever little available) work done amounting to $65 (hahaha! what a joke!!!) and still have not received any payment...
Don't waste your time and talent.
The point is that they are disorganized
and unprofessional....
that is the point, not that the recruiter was out to get her but that the recruiter is lazy and incompetent and too lazy to come up with a better excuse or a better way of presenting the position.
Very disorganized company. nm

I had the same experience, very disorganized - sm
I had to wait about 6 weeks for my first check, that alone made me nervous but I did get paid w/o issue every 2 weeks after the initial wait. I only used C-phone and word though no platform. Agree with the bad QA, nice enough people though very, very disorganized.
This company is very, very disorganized.
They seem to be very nice people, but they really need to evaluate the way they do things and put a checks and balances system in place so that people don't fall through the cracks. I was in disbelief at the experience that I had with Keystrokes. I just moved on.
One should not have to keep reminding a company that they have hired you and that you need to get started. Unbelievable. I am not bashing...just sharing my opinion of this company.
Very disorganized. I worked for them for like a
They owner will IM you to death for 8 hours straight. Yes, IM is a requirement. Meditech was the platform, which is horrible.
They are ok. Kind of disorganized but

VERY disorganized company.
The supervisors are not MT's and it's hard to get any information. I have a second interview Tuesday elsewhere and will be moving on.
Not only disorganized but I found
less than knowledgeable. Based on her answers to my questions I concluded she had no experience as an MT which didn't sit well with me as I think she also doubled as the transcription supervisor also. Based on my interview and then prior posts about this company regarding QA issues, platform and dictators I decided to keep looking as I didn't get a feeling there would be stability with this company.
They weren't rude with me, but a little disorganized and
not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services. As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending. All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company. I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down. The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same. I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again.
I think they use different programs, very confusing and disorganized

When I was there a year ago, they were VERY disorganized but still micromanaged and

MDI-FL, very disorganized. Agree with poster (sm)
They get nasty at MDI-FL and answers to questions ignored if they don't like the question being asked. Paid time off is NEVER correct and good luck getting the time listed on the stub. Work flow is hit and miss. They order you off and then back on with VR accounts. Pay and insurance benefits are better than most if you tolerate their demands and disrespect.
Do you find it a very disorganized company?

Transcend is so incredibly disorganized.
They need to get their act together before they buy another company. Nobody knows what the other is doing, poor communication all around.
I am thinking they are disorganized and shorthanded with admin
That is the impression I get.... and they called and told me not to call back because they are constantly on the phone. okay so ? But ?
Shapin...unprofessional, disorganized, let go without any warnings at all.
I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy! 
Drs. who are so disorganized you get a 15-minute report and wind up
Drives me NUTS!
I thought their training was AWFUL. Disorganized, sm...
and way late on feedback (it took me more than 24 hours to get feedback on my first training day)! I lasted about 30 minutes into the second day and said I'M DONE! The platform, IMO, is rather cumbersome, as well. No DD for 90 days, as I recall. All in all, I would suggest to look elsewhere, but this is JUST MY OPINION!
Very disorganized. Unqualified ppl in upper managment
Three words..Feast or Famine.., disorganized, and bad communication, anything else??
I wish I had more positives other than pay is on time. That is about the only positive at all.
Great bennies but extremely disorganized and out of work a lot. nm

Precyse. Disorganized, low work, broken promises.

Disorganized. If you aren't the favorite, then forget it. Never enough work
so you can work your schedule. But if you don't get your line count, you are expected to do whatever it takes to make it. Keep looking -- there are better companies out there. not to mention you'll get talked about behind your back
Worked there shortly. Pretty disorganized. Hard to understand the

Keystrokes-disorganized accounts, broken promises, moody owner

Busy does not mean disorganized. I would rather work for a busy company sm
than one with no work. I started with Keystrokes 3 months ago and it is the best thing I ever did. I have a steady paycheck and plenty of work.
