I started with one account that was busy and still have a lot of work. I have a back-up account but have never worked it as my primary is very busy. If you like radiology, this is the place to go from everything I hear. I transcribe the Big 4 and really enjoy my account.
My pay is good and on time thanks to direct deposit. I had to wait a few weeks for IDs but it was worth the wait!

I started with MedScribe about 6 months ago
I have an acute care account that I work on and also do a little ER for a secondary account. I do work one weekend day but they have kept me in work and pay is every other Friday, direct deposit. That is a big plus from where I came from. Good luck to you. Karen.
I am not on Meditech and I started at 0.09 ten months ago. sm
Not all of their accounts are Meditech but some are. I actually want a Meditech account as I am used to it and can move fast.
Started at MedScribe 3 months
I was attracted to the sign-on bonus, which is nice because they pay it $100 a pay period so I did not have to wait for 6 months or a year. I like my super and have plenty of work, I use InstaText and that converted just fine. I did not need the insurance but it is a nice package, they pay every two weeks by direct deposit. I have not heard of the other company you mentioned but I did come from a VERY large company and it is nice working for a smaller one, first name basis is a change. Good luck to you.
Started 2 months ago at MedScribe
Acute care starts at 8 and they have 2 incentive levels which adds another 3/4. That is for employee status with healthcare. Benefits are affordable (Aetna) and they pay by DD every 2 weeks. I have always had work and my team leader is very nice, she came from MW. The platform is Word based and I have all of my expander. After I applied I started in about 5 days. They have been very nice and I can honestly say, so far so good. Glad I left my rather large company to work for a smaller one, it's nice to be called by my first name for a change. Leanne.
I have been on there since it started 4 months ago and this is the first time.
They are freaking out because the doctors can still dictate!!!
But that only started 2 months ago and besides that, remember
you said I was management. I loved VR from the very start, before the other money. I can work part time only and make over 20$ per hour. No sweat. That sure is not what others are saying about minimum wage. What the heck are they talking about. Lack of experience I guess.
I just started working about 3 months ago
that requires 1 weekend day every week. I didn't think it would be so bad, but I don't like it at all. I realize that the medical field is a 24/7 profession, but I would rather rotate weekends like we did when I worked as a nurse. Better yet, if companies offered a weekend differential, they could probably find enough part-timers who want to work just weekends; wouldn't that be nice. Oh well, so much for dreaming.
I started at amphion a couple of months ago
and I love it! I stay on the same account and never run out of work. They are BEGGING for overtime, which they do pay extra for. The people are so nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend trying them out. Good luck.
I started 6 months ago and enjoy my account
I am on an acute care hospital and they have me backed up to ER. They just mentioned starting a new hospital, I guess a big one, in about a month so I know they will be hiring. So far so good. Pay is every other Friday by direct deposit so it is on time.
You can buy XP from Dell. I started with a different company about 2 months ago and sm
had to buy a new Dell as Vista did not work for them either. Most of the companies do not take Vista. It just doesn't work with everything yet.
I started at 8 cpl, was increased to 9 cpl in 3 months and 9.5 in a year. nm

SS has a lot of new accounts that have just started and more starting over the next few months. sm
As far as I know, SS is totally US based (going by what I was told). They are offering OT right now for us MTs. I am enjoying it certainly and I have been here for a couple of years.
Oh my gosh yes! I started at a company about 6 months ago,
starting out right out of the gate producing around 2200-2500 lines in 6 hours, best I have EVER done since leaving my local clinic and going with a huge company. However, it seems that once the honeymoon was over, things started to change and now, on the same dictators, I barely get 1600 lines in a day. It is a Word-based program and in the beginning I had no problems with the programs opening or typing in them and now they seem to freeze all of the time which, of course, slows my production tremendously. I cannot figure out if it is my computer or something that they have in the program to keep you from doing over a certain amount in a day, which I am not sure why they would.
There are a lot of people who do and it seems that most love working there. I started 6 months ago
and have no complaints at all. It is refreshing to work for a company that treats employees as individuals, not just a number. I also like that they do not send work offshore and that I only have one main account. I do have 2 back-up accounts, but have never worked on them after training. I am lucky that my main account is very busy, too busy most of the time!
Took a long time for me. They called after I had accepted and started another job, so about 2 months
?
I am happy with DSG. Started (sm)
about a month ago - very helpful, friendly, supportive staff. They leave you alone to do your work. Lots of samples provided. Pay is good. First check received within just a few days of invoice and next one should be DD. Lots of new accounts coming onboard soon.
Just started with them, so far I'm happy.
My understanding is some accounts are a mix of VR and standard transcription. The account I am on is all standard transcription, it is a brand new account though so maybe that'll change.
A few months ago seemed everyone was happy, now most
are unhappy. Lots of posts about them recently.
After 3 months on the job, very happy with DRC
It was important to me that I didn't have to provide the long distance line, DRC takes care of that. Great health benefits, I feel very affordable. PTO, don't often run into that, a great benefit. My account is certainly challenging but with 30+ years on the job I can handle it, though I very much appreciate the help I get from QA and my Account Manager. Working for DRC is a great fit for me. It was a bit confusing to be offered a cents-per-keystroke rather than cents-per-line, I would say keep a calculator handy and multiply whatever offer you receive by 65, concentrate on that, see if it meets your needs. Because I need health insurance and I appreciate the 1/2 of my social security they pay for me, because of the PTO (which I feel is generous) and the Direct Deposit, the fact that they pay for the phone line through an 800 number or send work over the net, and the fact that they provide me all the work I can handle 99 percent of the time, I would recommend DRC to anyone with the skills and experience to do the job.
Started 1 year ago, very happy
I enjoy my account and my team leader is very nice. The benefits are affordable, they use United Healthcare, and pay is every other Friday by direct deposit. The software is easy to learn and use and my Expander was compatible. Hope that may help, good luck to you.
I have worked at KS for almost 9 months and am very happy. sm
I looked at all angles when applying and most of the problems that people spoke of were in the past. A few had not even worked there for a few years. I took the chance and could not be happier.
I started out very happy with them, now I am not so sure, long story.

Very happy when I first started but things have changed -
I believe they have overhired and all the accounts are running out of work. There is a lot of demographic stuff to do too so that slows you down a lot. Pay per line isn't great but they do pay PTO in a fair way and I like the platform they use. All in all I'm still happy if they weren't running out of work -I will just have to wait and see how that goes.
If you had asked this a year ago, I might have said that I was not happy and actually started sm
to look for another job. I have seen really big changes in a lot of areas since then, the biggest one being communication. I would not even consider leaving now. I have been with them for almost 3 years.
I've been with Keystrokes for about 7 months, and I am very happy. sm
Pay is accurate and on time, plenty of work most of the time, and the people in management seem to genuinely care about the employees. My primary account is in Meditech and at first I hated it, but now I do not mind it at all. Hope this helps. Good luck. 
I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

TransTech and low/no work for months and months _ don't think there are continous holidays LOL
This HORRIBLE low/no work situation has been going on at TT for almost a year now. You can't convince me it is due to Memorial Day. Are holidays now assigned in this world to being daily.
That is an excuse these companies use in these no work situations, but it is due to their OVERHIRING. Holidays just come on a daily basis, but LOW WORK/NO WORK is happening and has happened going on a year now at TransTech. Always asking to flex into the middle of the night, EVERY weekend, etc.
The TT mgmt checks are NEVER affected, tho, so they can continue to HIRE EVERY MT who gives them a call, and create a NO WORK situation for all of us. The newbie MT's are cheering at first, but then realize that it hit them in the paycheck, too, and very soon it did!!!!!!!
My company has been low on work for months and months..sm
Tired of getting the same ol' message that things will pick up. I remember the days of bonuses, making money and being able to pay my bills! I am also wondering what is going with these companies not having work. Is everybody sending work overseas?
Happy New Year. May we all have happy home lives (sm)
and do whatever it takes to make our work lives work for us too.
Right and told we should be happy we have jobs. Not too happy right now.

MDI Maryland HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

I can't say enough nice things about this company; very flexible, you area a statutory employee. That means that they pay the employer portion of your SS. Great on time pay, tons of work. Do your lines and you are left alone! Expect to be responsible though. Pay for your phone; rent a Lanier or a C-phone if you don't have one; BayScribe platform. Anything that is a bit of an inconvenience is more than made up for. You will know to the minute how much you will make and how many lines you have typed. Check it out!
and they started
you at 9.5 cents per line???
Well let's see, I started my day
and have sat here all day to only have 60 some reports! Sad but true. I have 2 other PT jobs for this very reason. I only stay because when the work is there, the money is good. If it does not pick back up soon, I'm gone!
Just started...
using CS this past week, and it is very, very easy and practical to use. You should love it!
I started with TT at 8 cpl - sm
and I was told by Debbie that top pay was 8.5 cpl, not over. Maybe it was the account I was on. Don't know. Just relaying what I was told. I really did like TT. I couldn't afford their benefits, and yes, it is my fault for not doing my homework. I
i actually just started with DRC ..
and just completed my first week. When I was offered a position, I was told that everything counts - spaces, characters, everything in expander. Considering it was just my first week with getting used to the system as well as formatting and dictators, I did very well - a hair below where we need to be for full time, which is not bad considering I relistened to all my jobs before sending it. That is my method of learning. I am happy:)
when I first started with MQ which sm
was then Transcriptiosn Limited, for years, I was a subcontractor given a 1099 and they supplied all my equipment. Probably weren't suppose to. Well, I leased it. Maybe that make a difference.
I started at 10 cpl with MDI-MA
NM
I started out at
8, then they gave me 9 because the account I was on was HEAVY esl, then switched to VA, which also pays 9. Did fine on the ESL account but can't make the new production requriments on the VA account. Oh, full time employee status.
Just started, but so far ...
I'm not having too many problems other than the usual just getting used to new things. I don't think WebCorrect is that slow. I've worked on worse, that's for sure. I've checked their line counts and found them to be accurate and they do include spaces/65 char lines.
I haven't been paid yet, so I can't comment on that.
Communication is very good. You can IM a question any time. I've never waited long for an answer. You do have to pay attention to who you're supposed to IM though.
Everyone I've encountered is very nice and professional. I might change my mind later, but so far, I think it's working out well for me.
I just started with them, but so far
Mary has been extremely flexible with the schedule. Just ask her. I would be willing to bet she would work with you. She is the easiest boss I have worked for yet and I have worked for quite a few:)
I started with them just a little over
a month ago and can't afford the $125 to quit.
Do they still charge you $125 to ship back the computer if you're there for more than 45 days?
Welcome! I just started...
recently myself. Does your account start with a C by chance?
started at ,12, now...
make 16.
I just started with SGS
So far I have no complaints. Im fortunate, I have a very easy account. I have not had any ESLs so far...well, I had one, but he had an English/British accent and was not difficult to understand. I think the platform you work with is dependent on the account you are assigned to. I am using a web-based platform and Word 2000. As for direct deposit, I do believe they told me they have it, but I could have confused them with another company I was entertaining simultaneously. Benefits are reasonable for individuals, the family price is a little pricey in my opinion at nearly $178 per pay. I have to do some serious typing to justify that big of per pay deduction and Im hoping I can pull it off because I need those benefits as a single parent.
just started
I am just starting with them. If you want to email me I will give you what I know.
Just started
I just started with them and so far I like it. My account has been great. Everyone has been very nice.
Just started with them myself
but have you tried cut and pasting document into a Word document just to get a rough idea? Or is that what you did already?
Just started with them....
on a brand new account. It is a group of hospitals and there is evidently plenty of work. I am doing Emergency Department Reports, which there is a never ending supply of. I am brand new, so it has been kind of tough, but everyone is very helpful and encouraging.
That's all I know, hope it helps.
