pay scale so it s/l you are getting big bucks but are actually getting less, dictators difficult (at least on acute care), sound quality not so great.  Lots of posts about how disorganized they are and many unhappy MTs.  S/l there would be lots of work because many are leaving.  Company used to be called Transcription Solutions (I think). 

A few years ago, when I had 15 years' experience in acute care, they asked me to send a resume.  I'm not sure how they got my info, but I did send resume.  They were looking for at least 5 years' experience.  The recruiter then told me I didn't have enough experience.  I had not even tested.  They contacted me because of my experience, so not sure what that was about.

Recently the MTSO contacted me, I tested, and aced the test.  The MTSO was very anxious to hire me, but I wasn't interested after their offer and hearing the quality of the sound files.   At that time they were not offshoring, but they are now.  I was again offered a position to QA the offshore work, which I was told was "surprising good"  - NOT. 

You can either search on-line or go to store like Office Depot and look at keyboard trays.  They have them that will clip on.  You can clip one to a table.  Many times I've propped a pillow against a table and put the keyboard tray on the pillow.   I've worked at a picnic table with a folded towel on the edge of the table.   The height isn't the best and the towel kept the hard edge from pressing into my wrists.   I've used a bed tray and put my laptop on top of that and placed the keyboard underneath. 

I'd try a few things now before you go.   I found that if I had to work I found a way to get the job done.   I've even typed on the laptop keyboard with the laptop on my lap as we are going down the road.
