Is Keystrokes a good company for any work type other than radiology? sm
I have seen really good reports on this board (and others) about Keystrokes being the place to be for radiology but have really not seen much discussion regarding other work types. I am primarily interested in op notes as I understand they will only hire if you have spent the last several years in a particular work type and ops are it for me. I wonder about their platform, pay scale, flexibility, whether or not weekend work is required, etc. I have left my email address in case anyone would like to privately email me. I would really appreciate some input. Thank you.
Good - Keystrokes, MDI-MD, Acusis, Silent Type. Bad - MQ, MDI-FL, Transolutions, Healthscribe. nm

Speed Type
Has a utility available that will convert your present files to ST for a $15 fee .. well worth it from my little chair!! Also, Betsy works with people to make sure they are on the right track with ST and has a toll free number and she is the help desk and not overseas, which should indicate that she does not have heavy volume of technical calls. It is a great program.
I think Speed type is the same as Shorthand, if so......
I have to use this formula for each heading. Example:
This is your text: {@KEY ctrl+b}CHEST{@KEY ctrl+b} the keyword is chestbx. Then it types out bolded.
What I do is save this formula for the next one, say chief complaint (you can always pull up an already done bolded text, like chestbx, my personal use, and copy it if you are typing along and want to put another one in) .
{@KEY ctrl+b}CHEST{@KEY ctrl+b} take out chest and put CHIEF COMPLAINT, then save. I use the as the keyword chestbx, the b is for bold and the x is just for protection.
if you need to bold and underline:
{@KEY ctrl+b}{@KEY ctrl+u}CHIEF COMPLAINT{@KEY ctrl+b}{@KEY ctrl+u} you have to COPY this, put it in text to type like this and save. Your keyword (as I said, mine is chestbx for just bold and I use chestbux, bold for bold, u for underline and x).
then when I type it out with the ccbx it types CHIEF COMPLAINT bolded or bolded and underlined.
Hope this helps.
Axolotl
Has anyone ever worked for the company Axolotl and if so what was your experience?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, Axolotl
Yes, there is no cherrypicking at Axolotl. Whatever comes in your queue is what you get. You can't get by with trying to log off and back on either, doesn't work. .
Anyone out there with Axolotl- see message
One of my accounts is going to hook up to an EMR system- Axolotl. Anyone heard of it? Do you work for the company, or are you a contract Transcriptionist who uses the system? I've never heard of it. TIA
I bet 5 bucks its Axolotl. nm

Axolotl? Any current employees?
Of course, I see mixed reviews on them. Just looking for a good company for full-time bennies.
Google for Axolotl Transcription and see what comes up.
Pay is not great. They're undercutting US transcription companies to pull accounts out from under them.
IF you're wondering about Axolotl you actually
type in Word. Lotus Notes is just like the database for all the doctor's lists, account specifics, you're e-mail etc. You do have to be in Lotus Notes to work but when you "start job" it pulls up Word.
increase speed 3, decrease speed 2...sm
increase backspace 9, decrease backspace 8. At least that's what mine does.
C-phone speed help! PLEASE! Speed key!
I am in tears - typing speedy gonzalez - a total knee replacement, not a standard, dictated in under 1 minute - FULL REPORT! Can you imagine? I have a C-phone that is just hanging in there, but lost all its programming. Isn't there a # key on the number part of the phone that reduces speed? I need it way slooooooooooow!! I'm afraid to just start hitting numbers, though, cause I've lost reports that way!! Anybody have a # to hit for me???
WEBMEDX
can anyone tell me their experience with this company????? Desparate for info.
WEBMEDX DOES
Webmedx allows a window of time for the MT to work their required hours.
WEBMEDX!
Definitely Webmedx! 
WebMedX
Has anyone worked for MebMedX? Was thinking about applying.
Webmedx
Have worked for Webmedx now for many years - great company!! They have treated me very well as an MT - flexible schedule, good pay, great incentive pay, etc., plus they have very affordable insurance. I say go for it! 
Webmedx
Their highest level is 4. I was just hired at that level.
webmedx
I'm a level 4, and I don't make 10 cpl - how did you swing that?
Webmedx - do they have ICs?
Any info about this company would be appreciated.

Does WedMedX provide a computer too? What about for PT? Thanks.

WEBMEDX DOES NOT
Webmedx uses their own proprietary program, not Dictaphone ExText.
webmedx
Just a heads up for Webmedx -- they're a great co. but find out how much of their work is ESL and if that's what you really want.
Webmedx
In fact, Spheris just downgraded their insurance this year to where its a joke. Corporate kept the good policy and MT's got the crap policy "because they use it too much".
Webmedx has very decent BCBS, and costs less than Spheris because Webmedx pays a large portion of the premium for the employee. That shows they care about their MT's. I'm glad I made the change.
NOT WebMedX
According to a recent WebMedX ad on the Job Seeker's Board, they DO NOT ACCEPT Satellite.
WEBMEDX

Working for WebMedX
I have worked for them for over 6 months now. I really like working for them. Pay and benefits are good. I haven't seen much overtime and sometimes they are low on work (only around Labor Day), but they will train you so you have backup accounts. Good people. They treat you well and have good communication, but don't nag at you. They are flexible for your working hours. They pay shift differential and weekend differential. Pay is based on experience level...and the tests are a little tough for some people. The accounts they have are all great, as far as I can tell, with good dictators for the most part. I'm a high level 4, so I get ESLs, but they aren't too bad. Training is easy to understand and their platform is so easy to use. They use Shorthand. I give them a thumbs up!! My experience has been pretty good. I have worked for several nationals before them and they are, by far, my favorite and seem to be the most fair pay-wise. Hope the info helps.
Webmedx offered me 10 cpl
They require at least 1000 lines per week. Incentive of 11 cpl over a certain amount of lines per week. This was for their highest level (3). I think they have a lot of ESL though.
Not my company, but I think WebMedX has you do this. nm

OldTymer, are you still with Webmedx?
I saw one of your old posts searching archives, I think 2003. You said you were very happy with company. Still hold true?
CHECK OUT WEBMEDX
Check out Webmedx.
WEBMEDX - reviews?
Not enough work at my current job - need a company that offers ER-only work. Anyone work for them that could share an opinion? Would love also to hear how much they pay. Thanks so much!
Webmedx has the best benefits, all around sm
that I have encountered with a service. I end up using my PTO for sick days and other, but if I didn't, I would have 10 paid days of vacation; 5 days the first year, 10 days the next 4 years. No sick leave, per se, just all called PTO. Health insurance is reasonable for an individual, high for family. But the insurance is really good coverage.
Webmedx will take anyone. They even take recent sm
graduates and pay them to do acute care, with no experience. I don't think they would care that your acute care was in the past. Just empathize it, and demand a decent line rate. It is all going to ASR, anyway, and you will become an editor, just like the other very experienced MTs.
I got a job with WebMedx from this site.
Webmedx shifts
Is it set in stone that you have to work a weekend day with Webmedx? Is there any way around that?
I bet the company is Webmedx too. nm
WEBMEDX is a joke
This company is bologna. They expect you to be released from QA within 1-3 days, even though you need to learn an entirely new platform. The QA mentors in training will pick your work apart, take hours upon hours to get back to you with feedback, and then you will be blamed by your Supervisor for POOR QUALITY. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME with this SCAM.
Keystrokes. sm
I know that they have gotten beat up on here lately and had good posts too, but I think that each company is different for each person. I have found a permament place, as long as they stay this way or improve. I am treated fairly, paid well and on time. I am left alone as long as I do what I commit to. This is a perfect situation for me, but to each his own.
Try Keystrokes
They may have radiology positions open.
