Any opinions on this platform? MT-friendly? 
Thanks!

Thank you very much for the response! I am due to be starting at Keystrokes soon and wondered about the platform!
What do you mean "a surplus." If he left such a surplus, how come our deficit isn't lower?
:+
Unfortunately, the "many MT jobs" have very low pay rates, and getting lower and lower. nm

May be right around the corner
Over on the newbie board, someone is taking 6 cpl VBC. What's that work out to? 4.5 cents per line? On the plus side, if we keep cutting our own throats, there will be no need to send the work to India anymore as they can get it typed here for 3 cpl.
Stay logged in, otherwise (sm)
when work is low, and something does come in, it will go to someone who is logged in.
I use my own computer, but when logged
into the site where I work, there are certain websites that are blocked, I think that is for their protection so viruses and the like does not get into their system.
I logged in and there are zero jobs on both. It isn't just DVI. nm

I'm in your corner, sister MT...
I find the archive search here to be a huge hit-and-miss prospect. Some peope apparently search and are able to find all of the info they want on the first try.
However, I've had several instances where my search on a company I know has been discussed on here and a search will show no info, or either that VERY old info that probably isn't appicable.
I feel your frustration!!!
If you are logged into a system at all, they know
Trust me, been there, seen it, used it.
People were always amazed that I could pick out who was talking, saying what, being ugly, etc. I could pinpoint you down in a heartbeat.
It was easy to do. I mainly used it to control noise and to isolate those who were disrupting.
I didnt see that when I logged in. Where do you find it.

if you don't mind not knowing what's around the corner -
and you don't know when you're next assignment is going to be, 1 month, 2 months, etc. then go ahead and apply, but there have been too many negative things about Kforce said, and I should have listened and took note.

Here are some corner-cutting things
Cut dryer sheets in half. Still works just as well. Also, don't use dryer sheets for anything but clothing and maybe a towel or two.
Use stale bread to make french toast instead of throwing it away.
Drink homemade iced tea or lemonade instead of soda. Better for your teeth, anyway.
Turn off the pilot light to your heater (if gas is what you use) during all but the coldest months. Put clear insulating film over windows in the winter to keep out drafts, use the heat less.
If you qualify (and I think most of us DO!), get on the low-income rate for gas and electricity.
Coupons are gettting harder to find these days, but if you find coupons for something you were already going to buy anyway, use them! (However, buying something you really didn't need, just because you have a coupon for it, doesn't save you money).
If you have tollbooths on turnpikes or bridges in your area, plan your trips so that you have to go through them as little as possible. Combine as much of your errands as possible. If they have electronic toll passes (ie, 'FasTrak') where you live, check into it. Some tollbooths give a discount for cars using FasTrak transponders.
Learn to sew, by hand and/or by machine. You don't have to MAKE clothes (unless you like to), but if you can sew, you can repair rips, (or make them better with colorful knee patches, etc), or you can buy something used at Goodwill, and then customize it by sewing on flower patches, embroidery, sequins or beads.
If you're a sweets-addict, like I am, kill 2 birds with 1 stone: Save calories and money - don't buy packaged cookies, or ready-made cakes. Buy the mix instead, & store it out of sight. I find that when I do that, I not only tend to not munch on them all day, but will even grab some carrot-sticks instead, if they're handier to eat. The mix is still there, for those times when you just can't stand it anymore, and you HAVE to have some goodies! But if you have to MAKE them, instead of just reaching into a package, you'll eat them less often.
If your company is never out of work or always back-logged, can you state the name? Thx. nm

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm

ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

It is as simple as filling out a form. I did it when I left an MTSO and when I left sm
a non-MT position at a company years ago.
What company? I did not know that any of them offer 401K anymore.
Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm

The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based.
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
Sorry...lower 7 to 7.5 cpl. nm

I already get by on less. How much lower can
Soon most MT work stations will become shopping-carts parked under the nearest interstate overpass.

Lower pay
I hope that is not true but I bet they try to lower our wages again. I also work for Spheris and I know that we have to meet the QA standards. I do meet the QA and line count standards but I notice lately that I have been having to look up the patient information a lot more, which I know we are not compensated for. Also, lately it seems like I do more reports but my line count does not seem to increase like it should. Makes me wonder.
So what happens if they lower your cpl? With
my guess is lots of people will fall below the $900 mark, and then they get the added bonus of not having to insure you. Where I work they lowered our cpl pay this year, and now it's nearly impossible to make $900/pay period. If we were figuring full-time/part-time status by earnings, even though I work 60-hour weeks, I'd still be considered a part-timer. How do you spell ' R-I-P-O-F-F' ???
Definitely lower than average. nm

so if it is not 8, is it higher or lower..(nm)

Pay is much much much lower than any other national

Isn't their pay way lower than average? nm

I think it goes with the MDI post a little bit lower down

yes. at new lower rate.
nm
Maybe they're somewhere at the lower end?
I know I'm at the top and mine was cut, so maybe someone on one of the accounts that was only making 7 cents/line to begin with, didn't get cut any further?
Starts you off much lower than her ad shows. nm

Generally 3-4.5 cpl. Much lower than transcribing.

Lower rate/better dictators
Again I agree with you! The MTSO, hospitals should go to dictators that are bad or hard to understand and ask them politely to clean it up. How are we supposed to do our jobs 100% when we get crap to deal with? You give clean dictation you get clean reports. Any fool can figure that out . . . . well maybe not. 
Not the worst, but toward the lower end of the middle.
I was paid late/wrong often. I always tell people if you can afford to be paid late, then it's an okay place to work. If you rely on them being on time and accurate, go elsewhere.
Several of the shift leads are very nice. However, one never answers you because she's busy looking like the production queen. One had more drama than Jerry Springer. The owner answers you when she feels like it or not at all. My training on my account consisted of me doing 3 notes and then I was on my own. I was told I couldn't pend to verify information if it didn't cause more than one blank. I like being left alone to type, but I like to be comfortable with the account as well.
So it isn't the worst company out there but it certainly is not the best.
Rates are lower than 20 years ago. nm
nm
I dont find it much much lower its about the same 8 and 4 nm

The new KS insurance is only $250 a month. That's MUCH lower. sm
It took them over a year to get a decent rate.
You should try to go back if you miss it. I did and am glad I did and grateful they took me back. The grass was definitely not greener on the TT side.
Yeah, if THAT. Some offers are even lower. You
However, it can be a good tradeoff if you're tired of the headaches of own accounts, plus you might get benefits if you find employee status. Be prepared, though. I've got 20 yrs experience and I've had offers as low as 6 cpl. For real! It's a shock coming from having your own accounts, but do your research. There are good companies out there. If you've had acute care experience in a hospital setting, you will have better luck finding higher line rates, as well. If you've done mostly clinic work, the rates are quite a bit lower for that.
Higher? I don't understand ... it is lower
Why do you think it is higher? It is quite a bit lower from what I can tell. I have the family plan and will be saving $238.00 a month over what I was paying before with the mid-range plan I am getting, and the difference between a 25, 35, or even 40 dollar copay isn't squat when look at the lower premium ... that is where the big cost is with premiums .... unless maybe you have to go to the doctor every week or something.
lower pay rate for templates
Hi folks, Has anyone heard of getting a lower pay rate for templates? The company I work for is lowering their pay rates for what comes up as templates to 2 cents per line and say they will continue to pay the 8 cents per line for what we actually type? I have not heard of this before and was wondering if this was a common practice? Thanks for any feedback you might have.
