I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

I got mine on Friday before I started on (sm)
Monday. Had plenty of time to get it set up and get a KMV switch.
mine was cut as of last thursday but it started
this PP
I work there, and a friend of mine just started. It took RO
about a week for her to hear back. Good luck! :-)
But, in these tough times mine was started
before these times so that doesn’t wash in this case. I wish I made the money I did in the 80s- almost 60 thousand, outsourced and my money fell to 40 something and now it is like everyone else in the 20s. I like, others don’t and last word on this, some apparently just worse than others, so glad I am where I am and not stuck with second hand equipment.
I got mine last week (sm)
Do you live in Ohio by any chance? I do and got an e-mail last week saying that there was an error on some of the W2s of MTs who lived in Ohio. Something about the city tax not being taken out as it should have been? Anyway, they told me mine was okay but they still had some other MTs who lived in Ohio who would have to wait until the error was corrected and their W2s would be mailed a little late.
In CA and got mine about a week ago (NM)
.
A friend of mine very recently started working for them
I'll try to get ahold of her and see how it's going so far. She just started about a week or so ago.
If I hear anything, I'll let you know :-)
At mine it's 8 hours/day, 40 hrs/week.
SMALL PRINT:
What they DON'T bother to tell you is that with the minimum line count you're going to be expected to produce daily, it's going to take you 12+ hours to get it all done. 4 hours of which, you know, you will NOT be paid for.
THAT's 'full-time' employment in the MT world.
I start mine next week. They have sm
already sent me a nice gift for MT week and I haven't even started yet!!!!!!!!
I just started this week sm
It took 5 days to receive the equipment and the paperwork. I was looking for it well before then, they DID 2-day FedEx it and it took 4. I live in a very small town where we don't get mail delivery to your house, you get have a box in town and FedEx comes up here 2 or 3 times a week, depending. It sat at the terminal for over 24 hrs before they put on it on a truck to go out. I don't really think it is TT's fault about this because of the situation.
I called them when I didn't get it after 2 days, and then 3 days and I called them the minute it showed up on Friday. The IT guy stays late and I was installed early evening, so it won't have to be before 6, but the training will have to be.
Pick up the phone and tell them you are waiting. Ask them to check the routing through the FedEx website (they gave me the routing number to watch it). As long as you don't go on the attack, they are not going to be upset with you. I wanted and needed to get to work as fast as I could and while it took 10 days, it was entirely WORTH IT.
This is my 2nd full day, I have been released off of QA and I have managed on day 1 to transcribe the company line quota. I am telling you, lines are easy to make, ExText is wonderful for ME to use and the people...I don't think there is a nicer staff of people in this industry!
You'll be happy, so call them and see what can be done. Heaven forbid you sit there while FedEx screws you out of a really good MT job!
Just started this week too.
So far I really like it. I was offered a nice line rate. The platform is easy, but it can be slow to look up samples, but once I get used to the account, I won't need to look up samples as much. The dictators on my account are very easy. I have not run into an ESL or difficult doctor yet. Everyone has been very helpful. I have IM contacts so I have help immediately whenever I need it. IMO waiting a month to get paid is not unusual. You get paid 2 weeks after the pay period ends, which is how I got paid at my in-house jobs. Most companies will require a week or two to process all the payroll, so I don't see how that is a big deal. I currently only have one account that seems pretty busy, but I was told if it ever slows down I can take on more accounts as they have lots of accounts in all different specialties. I also like that they are completely flexible with a very small requirement (only 1800 lines a week). As I said, so far I really like it and I don't see myself going anywhere any time soon. In fact, if I can get my speed up on this account soon, I will most likely be dropping my first company.
I started with them last week
I applied on their website and answered the 50 question test. The recruiter called me the same day and after we talked they sounded really nice. I did some research on this board and then accepted the position. I started last Monday and their software is really easy to learn and I really like my account. The trainer was nice and I also liked the 12 hour window. Very happy so far and I think I found a new home. HTH.
Started this week
I graduated about a month ago, really seemed to hit it just right. Landed a FT job w/a national. So far it has been great--exhausting, info overload, but wonderful! Wanted 2nd shift, got it, not S-Th like I wanted, but that's ok. I applied at every good company I had seen on the chat boards, this is the only one that bit. But they were in my top 3, so I am very grateful. Very nice people so far too. Seems to be plenty of work on my account, FT benes, production bonus.
Oh, and I graduated from MTEC, just to put that out there. ;)
Just started a week ago and so far
everything is going pretty well. Everyone has been really nice and helpful. I really love not being tied to a strict schedule.
I just started this week. (sm)
So far it is everything they said it would be - which is great. No surprises. The account I am on seems really good too.
Mine does. Just loaded it on my laptop this week.
nm.
I got mine almost a week ago and already filed. You might want to call them.

I started with Amphion last week, and
specifically asked the recruiter if they send work offshore. She said that they considered it at one time, but would absolutely never do it now in light of the lawsuits and the fact that there are no HIPAA requirements outside the US. I believe that she was telling the truth. I was hesitant to try a national again after a one-month disaster with TRS last year, but my experience has been good so far.
One has started, one is this coming week. nm

Just started this week. I really think it is going to be great. nm

I just started actually typing last week. sm
When I hired in they asked what size I wanted for MT week. I haven't gotten it yet but probably will this week. I was impressed they even asked and I hadn't even started. They are wonderful to work for.
I got mine last week. It was postmarked 1/22/08. I actually have a refund coming this year! sm
I had been an IC for so long that I forgot how fun it is to get a refund, even if only $127!
I know which account this is that started this week. I would call tomorrow. sm
The IDs were sent back from the hospital but only one part of them. I have been on the account for 2 days and it is great. HBO Star and lots of volume and good dictators except one or two. Call and ask if the IDs are ready. There are a bunch of new accounts starting at the same time. They pulled me from my primary to help until the other IDs are in, so they are definitely needing you on there. You will love the KS rad department; I have been with them for 4 years and every year it gets better!
The person I am talking about started the second week in October for HR but the recruiter has been
with us since late summer.
I am going to dig into this, so thank you for the information. There is too much back and forth going on here to sort through what is true and what is not, so I am going to take some time and take it to my coordinator.
It might seem petty to a lot of you that we are willing to do this, but reputation is important and we have all been working too hard to let things like this happen.
I know that there will be flames here but the truth is that the Keystrokes Management Team has been working very hard to reverse a lot of things that happened in the past in order to make KS the best company in the industry. This takes time.
I do know that there are a lot of happy MTs at KS as we do not have a lot of emplpyee turnover, but I also know that one unhappy person can be like poison. Rather than attacking that person or persons, we are working on the reasons that they are unhappy and working to change that.
If KS was such a bad company, it would not grow as it has. I am not saying that they are perfect, just that they are not as this board portrays.
Another thing is that so many people attack the owner and say that she is unprofessional. You obviously have not met her. She is all business with her employees and customers and actually a fun person to be around as well. I have never met someone who gets as much done as she does and her customers love working with her.
I just think everyone should form their own opinions.
I sent it in the first day, heard back in a few days, took the test and started last week. sm
I know that they are very busy and it sounds like they are getting even busier. It took about a week after I took the test to hear, but I was told there were over 100 people taking tests and they were picking the best scores.
I bet you 1 million $$ you won't find one on mine. Mine is
2 years old and it does not have a 9-pin serial port, nor does it have a game port. I have used both ports on other computers so I know what both ports look like. I also have a company provided computer and it does have the ports on it.
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
x
The minimum is 5500 per week, NOT 6600 per week. I think you made a typo. :)
NM
i clear over 800 a week, 40/week; 30+ year experience. (nm)
x
I get my paycheck every week - that is enough for me! Happy MT week everybody! nm
x
I got laid off for MT Week. Happy MT Week to me!
x
Good last week - Slow this week.
I hope this is not an indication of things to come. I am getting 1,200 lines a day but it is taking me all day to do it. We seem to be out of work from 9-12 every day this week. Hope things pick up after Labor Day.
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
Got mine the very next day Fed-Ex.
nm
Same with mine.
I started working at 6:30 a.m. and we were still working on the day before! By 8:00, it was gone! That never used to happen!
Because they are getting rid of mine
a huge producer of tons of work by December if they don't sign on DQS and so far they want no part of it. That is why I am on a new account on DEP, mine is going bye bye.
On mine, many MTs with 10+ yrs exp. SHOULD be on 100% QA!

Hey. that is all mine will eat too--sm
Fancy Feast, and only the pate kind, with an occasional fliet thrown in for differentiation.
shhh- about the wrong board, or everything will be deleted in the transfer. lol.
Mine too. sm
Seems to be okay, only takes about 30 seconds to download.
Mine low too
can you work 2 accounts if you ask for one?
I got mine on E-Bay for $500
One thing you have to realize is Dragon doesn't work efficiently on most platforms. It is great in MSWord, but when you have to type in most if not all these different platforms that are Word-like programs,(these platforms actually pull from your personal Word program) it prints a character at a time, not good! (most of these platforms have all kinds of security and nonmicrosoft programs will not work inside the platform) I can still use mine but I have to open WordPad and speak to that and then copy and paste into the platform program.
There are some who will say you have to tweak it a bit to work in some of these platforms, but you still loose a lot of functionality.
I love this program as it has helped with my carpal tunnel immensely, but don't think for a moment that with this program, once you have it trained you are going to be making big bucks. Yes, you line count will go up a bit and I mean a bit. You are not going to get rich. People need to understand this is not a program where you have very little typing and the money will just roll in. You have to be realistic.
Yes, that is sad and mine
worked the first time
they pay mine
I've been working there a year. Paid internet was part of my job offer. Maybe this is a new policy or you have to ask for it?
They pay mine too.
Also, been there a little over a year. Love my job!
I got mine
It is refundable after 3 years of employment. If you leave before 3 years you get it back when they receive the equipment back. I received my deposit upon 3 years of employment without having to ask for it. I was pleasantly surprised, figured it would take awhile and need a few emails!
Mine too BUT..
The CEO called me personally and fixed mine as soon as I notified them that this happened. The company had no idea wbout this. They were great! I even sent them proof of fees that I incurred and they reimbursed those too..I am very happy with the fix
