No for ethical and reputable
MT companies, it won't! When you uses something like autokeys or autocorrect, I really do not know how they are going to figure out what keys you actually hit to produce a word, phrase or sentence.
What would you do? Ethical question.
A small national is going to lose their biggest (pretty much only) account and many people I care about will lose their jobs.  I only know because of some very reliable inside information, a friend works for another service and they will be taking over the account.   It is bothering me and wondering would you take the risk and let everyone know so their paycheck doesn't suffer?
The ethical thing to do

In my opinion, I'd rather be started on the icky account, paid by the hour for a month until used to it (I've found most icky accounts get a little better once I get  used to them and do them exclusively) and then transitioned over to line counts.  I think that is ethical and fair.  It is true that hospital MTs will send out work that no one can understand.  I used to jump the girls I worked with at a hospital for sending out stuff they knew was barely passing for fluent English (or for that matter was not fluent English) and impossible to do without leaving blanks.  They didn't realize the difference in what is reasonable in a hospital is not tolerated in a contract MT.


 


Probably legal but not ethical. nm

Advanced is NOT ethical
I worked for a friend who since the 1980s had her own company named Advanced Transcription Network. In the 1990s, I think it was Gordon Transcription, changed their name to Advanced Transcription. REALLY CHEESY of them to do. For the longest time the newly named company did substandard work and my friend who owned ATN got many calls from clients complaining. No, ATN had not copyrighted the name, but is is and was unethical of them to steal her name.
I would NEVER work for advanced.
Owner is very ethical, pay always on time. sm
what else do you need to know, I will try to help.

They are a small company in Maine.
