Keystrokes for radiology. They are the biggest for radiology out of all of the companies out there.
I have been there 2 years and have been very happy. I make a lot more money than when I worked for Edix/Spheris.
Keystrokes has the best radiology accounts IMO. I have plenty of work and radiology only. nm
I make a good living and rarely run out of work. When I do, it is for a few minutes at a time and usually because the rads have not started early enough. No other complaints!
Keystrokes has a radiology division. They used to be radiology only but their sm
customers started referring other departments to them.
I know that they just got a bunch of new accounts!
For radiology, Keystrokes is the way to go. They seem to have the most radiology accounts. sm
I have been very, very busy since starting with them 19 months ago. No complaints at all other than one or two of the radiologists who speak at the speed of light and expect us to be able to transcribe what sounds to be a mouse on a treadmill!
Does KS hire IC? What platform for Radiology?
Thanks so much......looking for work!
Does Keystrokes hire MTs...
without acute care experience. I have almost 17 yrs experience but mostly in clinic work.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Keystrokes does not hire PT

Keystrokes Radiology
Wow! What a web site! New to me as I have not begun working from home yet. Hey, Listen .... I am very excited to be taking on a new Radiology Transcription position with Keystrokes in the near future. I'd love to be prepared for the job and ready to kick out as many reports as possible on my first day of work. I have received the USB foot control, but am not yet set up to work. However, if there's anyone out there that could give me some "preparedness pointers" PRIOR to my first day of work, I'd sure appreciate it. (Currently still working in a hospital setting). Thank you kindly!
Keystrokes for radiology and I have tried others. nm

How does Keystrokes pay for radiology
reports, by the line or report? If it is by the report, can you tell me if it is above or below $1.45?
Keystrokes/Radiology
Hello out there! Can anyone provide any info on working for Keystrokes, Radiology Division? Any info greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Keystrokes radiology
Can or would anyone tell me the average line rate (or however they pay) for radiology at Keystrokes? Thanks
Keystrokes radiology?
Hi everyone. I am looking for a position as radiology MT and have heard good things about Keystrokes. One thing that was a problem at my old job was running out of work. Is this ever a problem at Keystrokes typing radiology? Any input would be appreciated.
To anyone who does radiology for Keystrokes (sm)
Do they pay by report or line for rad? Are there steady rad accounts where you don't run out of work often? If you don't want to reply here, please e-mail me, and if anyone responds by e-mailing me, please let me know that you did send me an e-mail. For some reason, the last 2 replies I got from posters on here, I didn't receive the e-mail so I'm trying a different e-mail address to see if I get replies at that address. TIA.
For radiology, your best bet is Keystrokes. nm

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?
anyone know if Keystrokes is going to hire more MTs anytime soon?
?
What is Keystrokes' software & do they hire PT?
Also, can you look up old reports on any of their software?
Keystrokes Radiology, new kid on the block
Hello to my fellow Keystrokes Radiology Transcriptionists! I just got hired by Keystrokes and really feel that I got blessed to have gotten on with this company although I have no misgivings about the hard work that lies ahead. I will begin training next week. I do have long-term experience which is hospital and clinic based, but I am sure that there are many tricks of the trade that at-home transcriptionists use to build speed that I am not familiar with. I received a "Boomerang and Trans/Net USB Foot Control Adapter" from Keystrokes. If you are familiar with this equipment, can you tell me a little bit about it, and in addition, which shorthand or shortcut speed typing software will work with this equipment. I would love your advice and guidance with respect to how I can set myself up in the best way possible to "keep up with the big boys!" Some day, I'll be there for "the new kid" just as I am asking for your assistance now. I have a full office set up, but have yet to purchase the necessary software I'll need to make my job run more efficiently. I also have a library of medical books, but rather than list them, if you would let me know of any absolute necessities you think I should have on my book shelf, I'd really appreciate your letting me know. I thank you in advance for your helpful hints. Jayne, from Port Townsend, Washington. P.S. Do I even need to purchase a shorthand software program? Perhaps Keystrokes provides that? I'll be getting installed the first part of next week. Thanks again!
Keystrokes is the best I have found for Radiology. nm

about Keystrokes. Do they have a lot of radiology? Do they pay on time? SM
Do they offer direct deposit? How often are you paid? How about benefits? Anyone who can shed some light on this? Oh, is there plenty of radiology work and how flexible are they?

For radiology, you should contact Keystrokes or MQ. sm
Most of the other companies have very few radiology accounts and most are overflow. I tried several before coming to Keystrokes, and I finally have enough radiology work to keep me busy and pay my bills!
Keystrokes radiology question
Could someone at Keystrokes share the minimum number of radiology reports required to be full-time there? Thanks.
Keystrokes/medquist radiology
I am looking for a new position as a rad transcriptionist. Does anyone work rad on Keystrokes or medquist. What are minimum production requirements? Are they easy to meet? Do they let MT's go that fail to meet them?
Keystrokes - Not Enough Radiology Work
I too thought Keystrokes would be my salvation when I read all the great posts about it, and accepted an offer in September. But my radiology accounts dried up, and even though I have been begging for work, I have not been offered anything steady or stable. Yes, everyone there is as nice as can be, paychecks (such as they are) are on-time, but from the time I get up until I go to bed I am lucky if I have a half-dozen reports. My first/primary account went voice before I even started it. I asked for a backup and they gave me clinic notes - I only do radiology, I have 13 years of radiology. I asked for another backup and had one for less than a month before it went voice. During that month there were more transcriptionists than available dial-in lines, so couldn't get in to work half the time. Now I've been given an account that I'm only allowed to work on weekend afternoons. I continue to ask them to find me an account. I absolutely cannot believe I am begging for work and earning nothing. I have a family counting on me, I can't go on like this. I am absolutely devastated. CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU GO TO KEYSTROKES.
Does Keystrokes hire part timers? Thx. nm

Does Keystrokes hire part-time? nm

Keystrokes - do they hire part time?SM
If they do, how many lines and do they have acute care or clinic and do you have to work weekends? Thank you.
Keystrokes for Radiology. Not sure about acute care. sm
I have been there 2 years, have plenty of work, make great money, have direct deposit and get left alone. Perfect for me.
What is the pay range forr Keystrokes Radiology? NM
[
X-Press or Keystrokes? Both offer radiology sm
but one is by the line (XP) and the other is by the report (KS). Both do a lot of radiology. Current and past employees of both can you answer these questions:
1. Do you have enough work?
2. Do you like the platform?
3. Do you earn a decent living?
4. What do you specifically like and/or dislike about each?
I am really torn here and need some honest, specific feedback, not the common they're great or stay away. SOS!!
For Radiology, try Keystrokes. I know they are hiring on one of my accounts. sm
The hospital just hired KS to do their whole department. I think they will be doing their Med/Surg stuff too.
I asked my lead. She said that Keystrokes is 1/2 radiology, sm
The other half is split evenly between basic four/acute care, clinic and orthopedics. They also have cardiology and pathology, but very few accounts in those right now.
The best place for radiology is by far Keystrokes. There have a lot of rad accounts and sm
I know of a few more that are starting this week and the next few weeks. This would be a good time to check with them. I have worked pretty much everywhere before KS. I have been with them for 2 years now and have steady work, good pay and love my account! My backup accounts are good too but I never have time to work on them.
Information on Keystrokes Radiology Accounts
I would like to hear from anyone who WORKS at Keystrokes doing their radiology accounts and how it is going for them; i.e. pay, enough work, do you get paid per line/per report. Thanks so much!
I'm thinking about applying at Keystrokes for a radiology position.
Could anyone tell me if they pay per report, how much they start you with and if there are increases along the way. Have seen past post with different amounts and have seen a post in the archives stating 1.25 per report and 1.25 more for reports over 2 minutes long.

Companies on FTP who hire ICs? nm

RE: Companies on FTP who hire ICs? nm
Your question is not so simple, i.e., FTP is acronymn for file transfer protocol which is a function of internet transferring of encrypted information - internet based companies use this process to transfer files from point A to B.
Companies that hire VR?
I am aware of a few, but I am interested to know of any others? Thank you!

Are there any companies that still hire PT?
Are all PT positions limited to evenings/nights or weekends? Im looking for early daytime hours and not more than 30 hours a week. Any suggestions?
Any companies that do radiology only ?
nm
For radiology, Keystrokes is the best. I worked at MQ for 8 years and left in January. sm
Wish I had done it two years ago. Lots of work, easy accounts, great team leads! I am making less per report but more each check because of better account with more work available!
Are there any companies who hire Psych MTs?
Love transcribing psych evals, but I don't see many companies who hire for Psych.
Any companies hire newbies? I'm a CMT who
works for a company that had a mentoring program and hired newbies. Had a very smart young girl ask me about getting into MT and told her the company I worked for had a mentoring program. She purchased Career Step six months ago but did not buy the program with the job placement as both of us felt she could get accepting into the mentoring program; however, she just now graduated and I just found out our company has abandoned their mentorship program. I feel really bad now because I don't know of any other companies that hire newbies. Do any of you know of any? I think this girl really has potential.
What companies hire for VR editing?
What companies hire for VR editing? I know I have heard Focus Informatics and possibly Sten-Tel do VR. Are there any others out there?
Looking for companies that hire IC on escription..sm
Other than Sten-Tel and Alphamed, who hires IC status to work on escription?
Thanks
Are there any companies that will hire PRN for IC status?
I think maybe what I need is a PRN IC job that will let me work when I need to (like when there is no work on my main account) so that Im not idle and making NO MONEY for that day or few hours or whatever it ends up being. If you know of any place that does this, please let me know.
Yup, especially the companies that hire newbies, but
they are slowly starting to have Vista use.
Which companies hire for VR work?
I would like to go back to doing VR work. I think I am more productive with it. Who is hiring for VR work, are they good companies, and do you feel more productive doing VR versus straight typing? Thanks
