American Indian vs a person in India. nm

what acct?...email me....nm
/
older and wiser, can you email me the name of your supervisor/acct you work on Thanks!
nm
Yes, to me too. In fact, I think it was an Indian name in the email I received.

It is correct information, someone accidentally sent out an email from their Indian Team lead.

I wanted to tell person who contacted me via email
that I absolutely do nothing to achieve more lines (money) than just keeping (as much as possible) the audio at fast a speed as I can and also I use my mouse when working. Supposedly you are supposed to be able to edit faster using combination keys but I did not learn, did not care to learn and mostly can keep up with the dictation (either VR or straight) as it goes so I just do not think I could make more even using the combo keys. I also do not give out where I work because to do so would probably be a swamping of the company and I would prefer to keep my job to myself as long as I could.
I would write them an email if it has been a couple of days.
Never hurt to try.
I got an email stating my score within a few days.

Wrong. The person who was fired this week was from Keystrokes. I just got an email

from someone asking if was me posting here tonight, so I came to look.   I agree with a lot that the poster has to say but I post my name when I post.  Anyone who knows me or of me knows this.  I do not have to post behind anonymous names nor do I. 


I do disagree with some of what this poster says though and will take a moment to tell her/him something:  You chose to run a service and knew or should have known what you were getting into.  If you are doing all that, you should either hire more people or hire different people.  The best move I ever made as a service owner was learning to delegate and hiring the right people including Human Resources, Accounting, Operations, QA, Recruiting and IS.  (The second best move I ever made was to stop letting the posts on the MTStars and others affect me).  Best advice I could give a service owner is to cough up the money for a good staff; it is worth it in the long wrong although hard in the short term.


While not everyone agrees with me or likes me or wants to work with Keystrokes, I do not feel a need to hide behind the anonymous nature of these boards and would rather have people know where I stand than wonder.


You would also know that I value our transcriptionists and know that as a company, Keystrokes constantly tries to improve.  If you know me at all or anything about Keystrokes, you would also know that our rates are going up not down and we do not undercut prices to beat our competitors. 


If anyone has anything to say to me directly, please use my email.  I do not visit here often anymore and do not plan on starting again as it gets a bit addicting :)


To the person who sent me the anonymous, rude email. FYI: I AM an MT and I post answers here to di
a true response is given, not supposition and rumor. I do not know why you find it take and ignorant (your words) that I answered that Keystrokes does not and will not send work overseas, but as an MT, that was very important for me to know and part of the decision I made to go to Keystrokes in the first place.

I will not be intimidated by anonymous emails and certainly will continue to post answers with facts when asked.

This board is for everyone in transcription, not just those who think they can control the threads, and I for one like to hear from others in the industry with different viewpoints.

It should not reflect poorly on KS as you said; quite the opposite, I will only post facts and as offshore is an important topic. If your opinion is different than mine, that is your choice, but to send a rude email anonymously with a threatening tone was obviously meant to intimidate me.
Person from corporate contacting me via email regarding my posting today
I have no reason to meet with you, have a good job and certainly do not care to discuss with you where you send your work. I know what I read and it was quoted by a top official at your company. Even though you said the newspaper slanted the story like they wanted it to read, I saw quotes and never saw where the paper did a retracation of the story.
TransTech upper sent out email for blackout on vacation for several days, so only a grain or 2 jobs

Same ole grab-it-while-it-is-there workload.  LOW, LOW, LOW.

My acct mgr sent an update this morning stating a large acct sm
starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.
That is what I just said. !0 days PTO, period. That includes vacation, sick days and personal days
They should have paid holidays so that you are paid if you take off. Also should inculde extra hours for sick days and personal days.

That annual raise of .002 is kind of a joke especially when at the same time they upped the minimum line requirement from 10,000 lines to 12,000 lines.

OSi just does not have the qualified people in management positions that I wish to work for.

I am glad that you are happy at OSi and all is working out for you. Their dishonesty and the way they treat people just does not work for me.

Of course they can get by cheaply by hiring unqualified people so that is very good for the owners.
Give it a whirl. I WAS on that same acct, same pay. Asked and got put on an acct just as bad, so I

How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...

I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion.  Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more?  Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day.  I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid.  I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care.  I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do.  I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work.  I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too.  Any suggestions?


Focus is Indian run and you'll be editing Indian
work, so seriously doubt you'll make a bunch of $$ on editing.  99% of the MTs love KS.  If you'll just scroll down the page you'll see dozens of posts about them. 
Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

My mistake. It was MDI-FL. sm
They called me back yesterday finally and found out that it was MDI-FL.  I was offered the position which I gladly took.  The funny thing is that Transcend has the account now that my previous employer had and was taken away and given to Transcend.  I am crossing my fingers I will get on that one (although not holding my breath either).  The line rate seems good.  The schedule is what I need.  So we shall see.  So far so good.
mistake
Yes. Mistake made. Windows Vista not compatible with a lot of MT software. Go to Microsoft.com and find what IS compatible, by manufacturer's name.
its a mistake. This was before
this is a mistake..if you check the dates it was before the layoff..
My mistake...
It was not Keystrokes, it was a different company in Illinois on the list that was no longer in service. Just one of those Monday moments on a Thursday!
Big Mistake :-(

Anybody else ever think they figured it out, schedule wise, and end up leaving a company for another one and then realize they made a HUGE mistake?  But it is too late because the doctor that you transcribed was already given to someone else..... 


I was working for a great company!!!!  One that, for some reason, will occasionally get some bad reviews here.... which I do not understand why.. had a baby, had to leave one company (as I was working for three) and let go of the wrong one!!!!  But was too stressed out at the time, when making my decision, to realize it.


I wish I could do a system restore on my work situation and set myself back to when I was with that company working on my favorite doctor!!!!


I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.

I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way!  This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
I made a BIG mistake. SM

I was working for this great company who only required 2000 lines a day and had a very flexible schedule.  I couldnt handle the 2000 lines a day in addition to my other position and had to quit.  Then a little later, asked if I could have another chance.  She gave me this chance and then, again, it was too hard for me to keep up with all the work.


Now I am on a different schedule with school starting again as well as other circumstances and this would just be the perfect scenerio for me.  The 2000 lines a week.


I have been searching for other companies that might have this type of position available and have failed to locate one.  Do you think it would be completely wrong of me to ask, yet again, for another chance?  Or would I be coming off too nutty. :-)


Just asking for opinions.  Go ahead and tell the truth.  If you think I am a nutcase, go ahead and let me know.  LOL.  Just want pure honesty here. 


Also if anyone else has ever been in the same position as I, I'd love to hear about it.  At least I would know I am not the only one.


It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?

Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
My mistake. You are correct.
So, did the REAL KS recruiter post those messages?
Learn from my mistake
Do not go to work for Robin Hall.  To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way.  Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.
Can you tell me why? I really need to know, I can't make another mistake.

DSG website mistake? sm

DSG website has  a link to a website called MTIA saying it stands for Medical Transcription Industry Association.  When you click on the link it takes you to a place that is a website for Missouri Tellecommunications Industry Association!!  Is this an honest mistake or a scam?  Lots of people probably wouldn't even check  the links.


Just wondering.


Please don't mistake me for the spelling cop, but (sm)
You stated that the QA people are supper helpful too... Does that mean that they'll drop in around 4:30 p.m. and start getting dinner ready for me too? LMAO!
is her mistake of posting on the sm
wrong board of such significance that it disrupts your life? Good grief, have you nothing else to do?
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
If your going to be an RN just for more money your making a mistake..sm
I was an RN and I hated it.  Horrible hours, awful doctors with egos, patients who have no respect for you, etc.  People who are RNs do if for the love of helping people, not money.
Alex-Med -- did they make a mistake in their ad?

The line rate begins at 2.5 GROSS for an IC position... It doesn't say whether it is for transcription or editing?


That doesn't sound right.


 


Not bashing, just wondering.


Oops, my mistake....yes, TSSC is in SC...

I made a mistake, geez! sm
I thought I WAS posting in the correct spot on the board. My experience WAS with the guy I mentioned in my original post. I thought it was the same name as the OP stated ... the names are VERY similar (only a couple letters off) so it was an honest mistake. I never would've posted if I hadn't seen it and been curious whether it was the same guy, so there would never have been a post for me to put elsewhere. Man, oh man. Much ado 'bout nothing.

I apologized and corrected it, but my experience remains the same with the person I originally referred to (again, sorry it was not the OP's guy) and I didn't say anything that is going to sully anyone's reputation one way or the other to any great extent. He might very well be a great guy and I never said he was anything less! Even if it HAD been the same guy the OP mentioned, I would never take anything on these boards with anything more than a grain of salt, and I would investigate and draw my own conclusions before deciding for myself.

I should've double checked the name before posting, and for that I have apologized and continue to apologize. I didn't realize it caused such an uproar behind the scenes. It's not like I said the guy was a murderer or something - just that he sounded like a salesperson! LOL
You would be making a huge mistake....sm
...by even wasting one second of your time with OSi. There's plenty on these boards to back up my opinion.

But, if you are seeking that first year experience, I suppose OSi should be considered.

Good luck!
Did you look in your spam folder to see if there by mistake?
No I am in Oklahoma. For the MT who says she did not get her line count, you need to look in your spam folder of your email. When I first started I was not getting mine and it was in the spam folder. Please try that and if your truly did not get your line count, have you contacted Raul, or Tonya, or anyone and asked why. If you did what did they tell you. This truly is a wonderful company if I can help please email me at sheryl.cantrell@gmail.com I promise to help in any way I can.
Sorry, but Jester is a pretty bad mistake
I'm not laughing. I'm horrified.

OOPS - yea I saw my mistake after I posted.

because it showed 10 times the same mistake
in this post and ironically regarding 'MT, MT's, MTs and MTs', and blabbering how much MTs are taken advantage of....
Oops wrong board. Another mistake by me
I had just got off the phone when I did this.  I am going to take a long break from the computer
Hey, QA, I made another mistake .. pull my post .. LOL
Pardon the html in my post, as I tried to enter smileys ... lol ... there was no way to proofread ~ and I didn't anyway, because it's time for me to get ready for work. I also said not being turned down ~ should have been no not .. LOL .. toodles ~ I'm outta here and not participating anymore. ;o)
if you are referring to the mistake the webmedx MT made
The mistake the Webmedx absolute disaster post made was that she was toggling between her two newly assigned accounts, each of which required many of the opposite criteria/spects for the accounts--she mistakenly bolded and capped impression for one when that client preferred lower case, unbolded impression. The templates for these two clients were identical and it was so easy to confuse which you were on I would defy anyone not to occasionally make a mistake of this nature when toggling between these two identical- appearing client accounts, with the reports randomly coming up one or the other and nearly impossible to tell which hospital you're in and it is your first and second days! It was a 'Russian roulette.'
Maybe she/he works 14 hour days/7 days a week? nm
