Almost daily something is posted about them. Lots of info in the
archives. 
I posted this the other day as well ......lets hope lots

I personally have posted lots of details
on why this is not a good company. 
Webmedx isn't slow - lots of OT posted and they are pushing sm
to hire a lot of MTs due to new accounts coming on in the next few months.
Have you checked your control panel settings?nm

I have. I had to fiddle with the settings to get the program to recognize the foot pedal. (sm)
I was initially afraid of doing that, for fear it would screw up my foot pedal for DocQscribe, but it didn't.  I found a wizard that set the foot pedal to work.  Hope this info helps! 
If you can get the pedal configured using the Settings in Express Scribe, it should work. nm

Lots of changes there right now, not good. nm

Very hard to make lines, can't make $$, pay scale isn't easy to figure out, mgmt problems. 
Lots in archives on TRS, nothing good. Don't know
anything about All-type, but I have seen them mentioned so info is in archives too. 
Thanks - you have a good day too, and hope we have lots
of work to make our line counts!
Lots of good things below about
I just applied and hope to hear from them, the archives and the posts below from some of their MTs looks good.

You can open your post and click on the see related posts link to bring up info.  You can open those posts and see all the responses related to that one too. 
Not lots of ESLs and they are mostly pretty good. It is
the American dictators that are horrible, but there are other issues with the account.  
LOTS of good info can be found in the.....nm

Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
Good luck with that. Keep us posted!
You and millions of others looking for a decent, secure job. Hope you find what you want.
Do a search. Lots of recent stuff--good and bad. nm

Trans Med Plus, Inc. has a job posted. Any info, good or bad on them??
Thanks
Wonderful! Good luck and keep us posted!

lots of good technical things, but they outsource overseas
and a lot of their managers are from the old Edix, which is not a good thing, if you want to be treated with respect.

if you do not mind how you are treated, you can do okay. hard getting lines consistently.

my opinion. maybe things have changed, but I have read a lot of negative on here lately.
Sounds good to me, but lots of variables. Employer stability, for one. nm

Lots of recent info here, and definitely not all good. Search the boards. nm

STAY AWAY from this company! Do a search here. Lots of information, none of it good.

Good company, lots of clinic work, pay on time.

Read the archives. Lots of stuff recently. Not good.
 
Good luck with that since the article posted from the Toledo blade
The firm had announced it would be getting out of that five-year-old business and took a $7 million accounting charge in the first quarter.
I saw this posted some time ago and thought then, hmmm, not a good idea
You were outraged and it was very apparent as you spoke then of they knew who you were and you really spoke your mind. I know we are supposed to have freedom of speech but having said this it was like you did not care if someone came after you and now, well seems like that has happened. I am not saying it is right but sometimes good to keep thoughts to yourself, especially now since you have heard from the state. You said you are flattered. I would never been flattered to have someone sue me. Seems like you bit off more than you can chew.
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm

I worked for them previously. Very good, growing co., wonderful MTSO, average pay but lots of work.
xxxxx
How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. nm

I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
 
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm

The Rates Are Posted Here and Posted Below

The service owner fees are posted in a UnionNow post (below), but here they are again:


SERVICE OWNERS CHARGE:


$0.115 - $0.25 per line for full transcription of acute care on 24/7 accounts


$2.75 - $7.65 per report for full transcription of pathology, lab, specialty operative notes, plain film and interventional radiology



$0.097 - $0.125 per line for VR editing



OF THAT MONEY, MTs ARE RECEIVING



$0.85 - $1.25 per report full transcription



$0.06 - $0.115 per line full transcription



$0.035 - $0.06 per line for VR editing



AS OUR PRODUCTION BRINGS THE MONEY IN, WE DESERVE A LARGER CHUNK OF THE PROFITS - OFFICE STAFF CAN BE TRIMMED INSTEAD OF THE PRODUCTION STAFF.  IF A RECEPTIONIST MISSES A DAY OF WORK, ANYONE CAN ANSWER THE PHONE IN HER PLACE.  IF AN MT NEEDS A DAY OR SO OFF, PATIENT CARE CAN SUFFER BECAUSE AN INTEGRAL MEMBER OF A HEALTH CARE TEAM IS UNAVAILABLE.



WE ARE STILL EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN THE HEALTH CARE PICTURE.  DO NOT SELL YOURSELVES SHORT.



IF YOU ARE AGAINST UNIONS OR INITIATIVES, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RESPECT YOUR OPINION, BUT BEG THAT YOU RESEARCH, SPEAK TO OTHERS, EDUCATE YOURSELVES ABOUT WORKERS UNITED.  WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE HERE; THEY'VE TAKEN ALMOST EVERYTHING FROM US. 



WE PROPOSE:


$1.25 PER REPORT TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs


$0.10 PER LINE TRANSCRIBED IN THE U.S.A. BY A U.S. MTs


$0.075 PER VR LINE EDITED IN THE U.S.A. BY U.S. MTs


Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
during the holidays too.   I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week.   I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.  
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

lots of ESL
This company works on VA and other accounts. The accounts have LOTS of ESL MDs on them and they are HARD ESL MDs too....the accounts are truely not worth the pay!!
lots of ESL's do not do it
You will never get out of the program and a certain mentor will grade you only on ESLs and you will not get out.
