In Reply to: Any ideas appreciated and welcome. Your experience, pls. n/m - Keystrokes or Wedmedx ?

Best company by far that I have ever worked for. Steady work, good line counts, good specs, fair QA, on-time pay.

Have you tried Keystrokes or Webmedex?
I have worked for both of these companies and was very happy with both. I also had health insurance through both. For your sake, please try to get a main job with health insurance. You can always keep a side gig or two as well.
Anyone willing to share Axolotl, Keystrokes, Transtech & Webmedex cpl range?
Looking... Thanks!
I love Transcend, I would not speak for everyone...
It's amazing the things people will say on these boards. There are a lot of happy transcriptionists at Transcend, and I get treated great. I love my job, get paid well per line and also get great benefits, including a 401-K match
I can't speak for Keystrokes
but Transtech has been the best company I have ever worked for (25+ years' experience). There are many good things about TT on this board, and they are all true. Good luck with your decision.
Can't speak for all Keystrokes employees but

It was my first experience with at-home transcription and I felt underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated.  As soon as something better came along, I left.


I am working as an IC now and I am much happier. Of course, I am very fortunate that my husband has good benefits/insurance so I don't have to worry about that.


Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money.  They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
welcome..you will love it at Keystrokes...

I LOVE Keystrokes!
I just had my second day with KS and LOVE them! In just 6 hours, I was able to do 1600 lines! I have an AWESOME ER account and all of the dictators are so easy! I hope to be there for many years to come!
LOVE Keystrokes!
While I don't type ortho for Keystrokes, I do ER, and I LOVE it. I don't have any ESLs, I always have TONS of work, make excellent money and, most importantly, I am treated like an actual human rather than just some number or just another employee. My lead MT is the best and is always extremely helpful. I also received a welcome card in the mail from the office when I first started. They actually go out of their way to show their MTs that they do care. They are by far the best out there.
Love Keystrokes too
I've been with KS for a little over a month now and love it. I plan on being there for many years to come. I was also offered a job with TT before I went to KS, but was told that the account was over 75% ESL. I have no ESLs on my account with KS :)
Love Keystrokes
I have been there for a month now and love it. My manager is super friendly and helpful, and I always have tons of work. I am on an ER account and I did not have to purchase any equipment. They provided with a Transnet foot pedal, which was all that I needed. My account is awesome and my pay checks have almost doubled since I left my old company (SPI/CyMed) and started working for Keystrokes. I'm sure that they are not a perfect fit for every MT, but I am extremely happy there and hope to be there for many years.
Love Keystrokes
I have never worked for Zylomed, but I do work for Keystrokes and I love it. I have an excellent account and an awesome lead MT. They always pay on time (direct deposit), and I have also found them to be very flexible. The best part is that they do not outsource at all and keep all work in the US. I would recommend them to any MT.
Definitely not Keystrokes! Love it there!

Love Keystrokes
Been there nearly a year now, and I have had nothing but a great experience there. I would recommend them to anyone.
Welcome to Keystrokes...you both will love it!!!
I have been here over a year and I love it...couldn't ask for a better company to work for...
I was hired by the CEO and love my job at Keystrokes. sm
I agree with the lead person in that there is more here than you are telling. Did you not like the account? Did you not have the proper equipment, phone lines, etc? Did you send in your paperwork? Did IS set you up? If so, you were not forgotten by the CEO. After she hired me, I talked to Becky for paperwork, Val for my account and Paul for IS. I have never spoken to Lee again but I am glad that she hired me in the first place. Did you need her to hold your hand? Do you have problems with other companies too?
I have been with Keystrokes for a year now and I love it...
I love my account...my leads are helpful and I have as much work as I want...best move I ever made was coming to work for Keystrokes...Good luck!!!
I love Keystrokes..would recommend them to anyone...
Good luck with your decision...
I have been with Keystrokes for over a year and love it...

Keystrokes is a good one...I love it there...
and only employee positions...
I would love to work for Keystrokes but
I do not have a personal computer with XP and they stated that I needed to supply my own PC with XP.  Once I find a place that I can buy XP at a reasonable price I will apply.
I love working for Keystrokes...
I can't answer the second part of your question because I have been with them for 2 years...but I know they are a stable company and I finally found the perfect fit for me...good luck!!!
I have been at Keystrokes for 2 years and I love it...
I have never experienced or heard of anything such as the OP is claiming...all I know is that Keystrokes is a great place to work for and you were unhappy there let it go and move on...I truly hope you found a better fit for you...and to those that do not like working for Keystrokes, find another job...
I work for Keystrokes and I love it...

I work for Keystrokes and love it
Great company, good pay, great leads and plenty of work...I have been there for 2-1/2 years
Been at Keystrokes for 2-1/2 years and LOVE it!

I have also been at Keystrokes 2-1/2 years and love it...
Great company.
I had to test for Keystrokes...have been there for 3 months...love it...

Keystrokes love fest question
It used to be (a couple of years ago) that anytime Keystrokes was on here it was all negative responses and no one had anything good to say.  Now it is a continual gush of admiration.  What changed?  Just curious.
Try applying to Keystrokes...I do ortho for them and I love it...

I work for Keystrokes on DocQScribe and love it. sm
I find that my line count is accurate (I pulled a few reports out into word and counted that way). ShortHand works, or I would not be able to type, seriously. I type 1500 lines a day, most days, worst being 700 in the beginning and 2357 being the best. This is 8 hours. I have done more but worked longer than 8 hours those days.

The only thing I was faster on was WP5.1+ with PRD+ but maybe it was just that my fingers were younger :)
Yes -- still at Keystrokes and still love it. :-) I am just looking for extra work. sm

I have worked 2 jobs for almost all of my life, so it is almost 2nd nature.  I think you will find Keystrokes a refreshing change from MQ.  They actually care about your well being and listen to you . They do not overhire.  The benefits are pretty good.  I do not have anything bad to say about them. 


Good luck! 


exactly....all of the people that I know that work for Keystrokes are happy and love their job...
move on if it is not the right fit for you...there are plenty of other companies out there...
I feel the same way!!! I love Keystrokes...I have finally found my fit....
I type Ortho and absolutely love it!!!
I am not management...I just happen to love working for Keystrokes...
sorry you had such a bad experience but doesn't mean that Keystrokes is bad...just in your opinion...
I love Keystrokes...been there for 3 months and couldn't ask for a better place to work...
nm
I agree with Denise...I have also only been at Keystrokes for a shor time but I love it...it already

beats the company I was with before, and I was with them for a year-and-a-half...I can see if someone wanted an opinion about a company and you had a bad experience to share, but not just to get on here and say how horrible a company is...move on and good luck....


That's good news. I love Keystrokes, and I hate to think of them selling. sm
The people are great, and I truly feel that I have finally found a home.  Still, business is business.  I have a friend who has been with Transcend for years and is very happy there, but I want no part of it.  I plan on working until I'm 70, so I'm crossing my fingers that the bottom does fall out for me before then. 
Webmedex
Pros and cons please.
Those of you at Webmedex now, how is it going? (sm)

Have been thinking about this company for a while and kind of watching to see when they are hiring again.   Do you stay in work pretty regularly?  I know fluctuations happen anywhere.  DO you wind up with a good amount of LPH on their platform:   Wanting out of the MQ game and don't want to jump into another fire.


Any info appreciated. E-mail if you wish. 



TIA


Webmedex
Do you know what kind of platform they use, line pay, etc?
Webmedex

Hi!

Webmedex radiology
Don't know how much this will help you, but I almost went with them some time ago, everything sounded great - until I questioned what happens when work runs out...would there be a secondary account?  I was told no, there weren't enough, and I would be expected to do acute care, etc....I declined.  You may wish to question them further if you have issues regarding this.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.
WebMedEx testing

I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions regarding their testing.  I took their test a few years ago and passed the multiple choice but not the transcription.  There was so much static and distortion on the voice files I couldn't hear well and even though I left proper blanks, I didn't pass.  Does anyone have any ideas as to why they don't provide better voice files and how I can overcome this?  Thanks to all for any suggestions.

Information needed on these two compnaies would be greatly appreciated...Good, bad, etc...Thanks!

Does webmedex hire clinic trans?
just wondering
How big is Transheath and now does this make Webmedex bigger than MQ? nm

Webmedex pays 6 holidays for ft employee status.

Webmedex is a great company but their platform is terrible.
That is the reason I left. Too many screens to enter simple imformation and too slow switching between screens. Platform is such a big part of our production.
