I have been with Keystrokes for over a year and love it...

Yes, yes and yes - been there a year - love it
nm
About a year and I love TT
Been with KS a year and LOVE it!
It was the best move I ever made!
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.
I have had Vonage for over a year now and love it.sm
Why hassle with phone calls when you can order it all online at Vonage.com? That's what I did and had no problems. I sympathize, though. I hate when I call and get misinformation, put on hold forever, or some other aggravation.
I have been there for 1 year now...love the account I'm on but....(sm)
this summer my account was running low on several occasions. I have been trying to get a second account since July and I can't get one. I would be making great money there too if I had a backup account. Today I had a grand total of 543 lines, yesterday was 948. I can't live on that so if it doesn't improve I will have to look elsewhere. I love the place too and do NOT want to leave but obviously I need more than 543 lines in a day.
Thank you DR - love christmas with you every year. sm
Once again - DR has provided a nice Christmas bonus in time for last minute shopping. I know you have to be there for so long to get it, but not sure how long. This has got to be the best company ever. I don't see other people posting about nice bonuses - usually cheesy gifts. TY Diskriter, you really do care.
Ditto! I have been there one year on 7/30. Love it!! sm
I am making more than ever and making more every day. It is an awesome compny, tons of work. :-)
See the string of posts below. Been there almost a year and really love it.
They are hiring like crazy now because they have several new accounts coming on, so I would go ahead and apply. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I have been with Keystrokes for nearly a year now and have never (sm)
heard anything like that. I don't have access to any boards and if I have a question I usually ask my lead. However, I have gone to the word help board here but have never been reprimanded for it.
I was offered a job with MDI a year ago before I was hired at Keystrokes - SM
They told me that I probably wouldn't want to leave my other job as I probably wouldn't have enough work, and that the account they would put me on was VERY heavy ESL and needed unlimited long distance. That was a big turn off for me! I then accepted a position with Keystrokes right after that, and a year later I'm still glad that I did!
Not true. Transcend tried to buy Keystrokes last year. sm
Keystrokes owners turned them down as they are not interested in selling and they are against offshore transcription. They are getting as big as Transcend, maybe even bigger, and they treat their employees a heck of a lot better!
Where do you get these rumors from? Not from anyone who knows.
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 love Keystrokes..would recommend them to anyone...
Good luck with your decision...
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...

Can't speak about Webmedex, but I love keystrokes.. sm
Best company by far that I have ever worked for. Steady work, good line counts, good specs, fair QA, on-time pay.
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!
Last year, from Keystrokes we got Blockbuster gift cards for Christmas and for MT week sm
we got candles and candy. I always get a birthday card too, which is very nice.
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...

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.
Love, love, love TransTech! Not overhiring, just growing like crazy!

I feel the same way...I love working for Keystrokes and feel blessed that I have such a wonderful jo

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)
