they will loan you one if they have one available. No sense in spending extra money if you do not have to do so. :-)
Good luck ! I love it at Keystrokes. I have only been there about 4-5 months,but my experience has been a good one. I think you will like it.

My account requires a second phone line (nm)
Keystrokes requires C-phone? NM

The account I am on only requires 1200 lpd. Maybe it is that particular account. Ask them if they
have a lower one. Doesn't hurt to ask. I do anywhere between 1200 and 1800 lpd. Sometimes it feels impossible to do 1200, sometimes the 1800 is quick. Depends on the doctors and the day for me. I do average 15,000 per pay period though, which is 1500 a day. Not impossible by any means, and I never go over 40 hours a week. Most weeks, I am closer to 35 hours with lunch breaks and life.
Wait...she's NOT really a recruiter???
I guess I missed that thread. I thought that she was. If she really is not a recruiter, I agree that she really should change your name on here. It's making the company look bad, when in fact it really is a great place to work.
Call and talk to a recruiter. They would know what openings are on what accounts. nm

Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
Wait until you test and the recruiter makes offer. I think you may be pleasantly surprised. I was

I could email them, but I would rather talk to someone that is working for them or has worked for th
Of course, they are going to tell you all the positives. I would like to hear from someone that can give me their opinion, good or bad.
If you do not want to post on this board, you can email me.
Thanks.
And keep working for the place they trash talk
Because no one else will have them with their lack of basic skills. They're stuck and that's why they get on here and talk trash about their company and make all sorts of ridiculous allegations.
Either that or they love to create drama.
Losers either way.
We have too much on my account. Call and talk to sm
Martha or Karyn.
Did you talk to Lee about your account? She sent an e-mail (sm)
at the end of January asking every MT to e-mail her if they had any problems with their accounts or schedules. I e-mailed her and it took a while but I finally heard back and I got my schedule changed to what I wanted. The same holds true for not enough work on your account. They even posted something here last week saying they weren't going to hire anyone until everyone who currently worked there was satisfied with their schedule and accounts. I would e-mail her directly and tell her. I know they just put a job posting on here yesterday I think, and that is for the account I work on as it gets really behind on the weekend. Luckily I have a very high volume account and don't have to ask for more work. But if I did need more work, I would not hesitate to e-mail my lead Transcriptionist or e-mail Lee directly and tell them about it.
Wait til you see what kind of account it is -- sm
One of them is the account from Hell! Don't say you weren't warned!
B4 you leave you should talk to your account mgr about a possible transfer
there are other teams in the company that still do straight typing, and have lots of work now.
If your waiting on an Escription account, you have a while to wait.
The work flow right now is up and down with most of the work being in the evening. They have overhired in my opinion. They had all of these accounts supposedly with a lot of work and then NOTHING.
Talk to your leads or call the main office to see if you can get a backup account...
I have been there for over a year too and have always had plenty of work...
may be good now, wait until they Global your account, too. I left there long ago, happy I did. nm

LM- Have only been with MDI-MD since 10/05. I have one account through a C-phone system. From what
have a few accounts with audio through internet & are in the process of expanding that capability to other accounts.
So far, my primary account has been swamped since day one & I haven't requested a secondary as yet. Also,to date, I only have been doing Ops - which are my speciality.
As mentioned, the one & only drawback I've found is paying for LD. I'm using Vonage and, so far, no problems! My sound quality through my C-phone has been excellent, have only had 2-3 dictators on cell phones, which were still decipherable compared to what I previously had received.
I imagine the ESLs on my account are 40-50%, but, they are nothing compared to what I had been receiving. After doing a few reports, their accents are able to be picked up on.
My pay was equal to my prior job (12 yrs as SE) during my training & increased after training.
Well, almost forgot - Yes, I have set up Normals with editing as need be to comply with dictation verbatim.
If you're looking for a company that appreciates good MTs, then I would recommend MDI-MD.
I just can't begin to tell you how my dread of logging on every day was totally reversed after being accepted at MDI-MD. Everyone at MDI-MD is there to help you 24/7.
I have found my Home and hopefully you will too!

Is this a C-phone or internet account? nm

Not my C-phone account. Just got a backlog report

Patience, is your account internet or c-phone? nm

I am not a recruiter and I do not get paid to say nice things. I just like working for sm
them. Is that so wrong? I have a lot of work, I like my account, I get paid well and on time. That's 4 for 4 in my book. I have not found that anywhere else.
Their ads do not say 9 cpl for everyone; they list a range.
The equipment is not ancient. I have an internet count.
Why do so many come on here to b**** and moan and tell half truths. Unless you experienced it yourself or know facts, why spread things?
Just depends on the account. I work for MDI, don't use a c-phone but also don't have Bayscrib

It depends on which account your on. If you WANT to be on an acct with a C-phone, there is plenty
but, if you like, AND were hired for internet-based, you will be disappointed. Just goes to show that there are two sides to everything. Some people love it and some people hate it.. personally, I have chosen to work for a company that everyone is happy being at and you cannot find one single bad post about them. I have figured out.. that is a for a reason. When you see even one bad post, you should at least look into it further. I thought that people who complained were just ex-disgruntled MTs but soon found out for myself what they were trying to say so I say, go ahead and try it out yourself and decide.
I currently am on a C-phone account...mine stays pretty busy (sm)
If they are offering you 2 accounts I would probably take it. I wish I had a backup for the times when mine is slow, which is rare. The C-phone accounts aren't bad but I worked on Docuscribe at Medquist and LOVED it! For what it's worth, I'm happy at KS. Good luck!
what account were you working on? sm
What account were you working on? They let all of the QAs and a few MTs go on this particular account. I believe they lost this account.
Account I was working on
What amazes me is that they never got back to me. I e-mailed them and they told me work was very slow this week and they hope things start picking back up. Yes, I think the account I was working on went away, but why did they not tell me. I can still log on to the system.
Yep!!! We're working on the same account.
I'll email you..
I think we are working for the same company on the same account.
I have a pillow-talking female dictator on my secondary account as well. Little to no work on my primary. It took 40 minutes to transcribe 36 lines with 16 blanks. E-mail me if you want.
question for those working on the old QT account
Are you still able to make the lines you did when you worked at QT at the Web. Friend of mine is having a hard time and she was a top producer.
I am working now. We don't lose the account
for another month. I also have back up accounts, so I am hoping that I can work on some of those until I get a new primary, but I know they won't provide me the 40 hours of work I need to get by. I figured I would wait until that time to start bugging my supervisor for another account. I would rather not be too pushy. Afraid that will make things worse instead of better.
I have been trying to be patient but have been working on my secondary account so much lately, I am
starting to think it's my primary. Been in the business a long time and understand slow times, but this has been a chronic problem for many months, so I understand poster's point of view. Stick it out if you can, if not, there are lots of other companies out there, but remember, the grass is always greener on the other side and you may be sorry you jumped ship. Hopefully you can find somewhere that will make you happy and feel appreciated.
Anyone working on the new cardiology account for Archivus out of NC?
Looking for info on platform used, percentage of ESLs, number of docs, if there are templates/headers/footers?
Spheris has Indian MTs working on every account. This should

working that account and it is great! So far I have no complaints. nm

No, if the account you are working wants it to stay stateside,
it will stay stateside. Period. I got this straight from a Transcend regional manager a couple of weeks ago. It is up to the CLIENT whether to allow the work to go offshore or not. It is NOT up to Transcend.
Anyone working on cardiology account for Superior Global out of TX?

Has any worked for QT Medical for radiology? They got an account that I was working sm
on for another company and I want to apply, but cannot find anything about them. I am currently with Peachtree and am tired of being an IC and I need steady work. Can you give me any good, bad or other information? TIA
The account I am working has a normal amount of ESLs but nothing awful.
I think anywhere you work these days you're going to get some but I have just had the usual amount here.
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
Transhealth requires 2 yrs nm

There is at least 1 facility that requires US MTs only.
It is actually their largest account. I worked for them a few years ago and worked another service that did this same hospital. This hospital is very picky and absolutely will not allow any offshore work. I guess they will have to keep all US MTs on that particular account in order to keep it.
I would invite all DRC MTs to come on over to TransTech, you will find a home here.
I believe TT requires 5 years
experience
It is SO unbelievable...this job requires
us to constantly keep up with the new procedures, meds, surgical instruments, etc., it is a constant learning curve...and it just kills me that these companies offer less and less money every year...been doing this for 20 years now and it has really gone down-hill! Someone needs to understand what it takes to become a skilled acute care transcriptionist! Maybe the Feds can help us out...they're doling out billions to wealthy investors these days...
Do you really think that this profession requires MORE than others? sm
Come on, nurses, teachers, most other *professions* have to keep CEs updated, etc. Wages are stagnant in *most* fields right now, not just this one.
If you feel like a victim, find something that makes you happier and feel empowered. That's not anything but truth.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
you must not have made the grade. He requires
very high quality work, but pay is worth it.
any company that requires YOU to pay THEM is a scam
never ever would you have to pay a STAFFING AGENCY to keep you on a list. The only time you should pay for work is if you are hiring a headhunter to do the search for you.
P.S. I'm not yelling - ... just in case anyone feels that they need to jump down my throat.
that employer requires employees not to say anything on the
.
Nothing wrong with that. Their work requires someone with
that set in stone requirement.
MDI-MD only requires a line count (sm)
 commitment and they are now getting some accounts that are internet-based.
