Yes, but you seem to be the "only" one
The OP asked which to go with, and I say Axo is probably more user friendly.  KS may have the rep of being nice with loads of work, but working in a hospital platform is very difficult to make productivity. 
For LOL, re: "only" radiology MTs
I'm so sorry that all of you are going through this, but it doesn't help to start sniping at each other. I wonder if there is a way to unionize MTs? AHDI is great, but really...they don't do much for us as professionals other than standardize the way a sentence should be punctuated, a gross oversimplification, I know. This if you've got a pulse and a computer, you've got a job attitude that seems to have been adopted by most MTSOs has gone way too far. We are completely overlooked and under-appreciated, invisible employees. They cut our pay, send our work overseas and then look at us and go, Whaddya gonna do about it? I'm beginning to feel like a coal miner, or a mushroom (kept in the dark and fed bull flop). And for LOL, I don't think the person who posted the it's only rad MTs that have to worry message meant anything nasty by it, I think it was an attempt to allay some fears, albeit not a very successful one. I've been an MT for over 20 years and I wouldn't know a radiology report from a hole in the ground. Keep your chin up!
Oops sorry, thought you said you "only" get out of bed for 6.5 ! lol

I "only" make $1.15 per report and have made over $62,000 this year so far. I only work 8 hou
5 days a week and pick up one 4-hour weekend shift a month. It depends on the account, your company, the report length, your expanders, normals, etc. I made $1.43 with Edix before I switched and even though I took a per report loss, I make more money in the past 2 years than ever with Edix. I rarely run out of work, which is a HUGE factor. I know that the company I work for is both praised and condemned on this board, but I am happy at KS.
"ONLY a profession of predominantly women would call the other women crazy for wanting the basics
If this were a male-predominant industry, I can guarantee you the companies would be offering more or else they wouldn't have any workers. Men don't stand for the stuff women do. I don't understand why women do not think they are worth a fair wage, decent benefits, and a little vacation time here and there. Many say this is just a part-time gig while they raise a family. Does that mean your time is less valuable? I just don't get it.
