Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages.  Have things changed for the better here?  Is there steady, reliable work?  Able to make any decent money?  Thanks!
Can I get some info on Keystrokes
Rad MTs are able to get on a daily basis? Please. TIA.
Keystrokes info, please
You are paid by report, right?Could you tell me if the short reports/long reports equal out. Can you use your own expander program?  To have plenty of work and not be bothered all the time, that sounds good to me!
Info on Keystrokes please. TIA

Keystrokes Info
Okay, let's see. Yes, I had to test for this position. I have a strictly cardiology account. There are two ESLs who speak better English than some of the other dictators in the practice! We are about to get new, cheaper health insurance coverage, in March, I believe. The benefits appear reasonable to me. I am not in a typing pool. There is just me and another Transcriptionist on this one office account. By the way, I think you get health insurance benefits after 90 days, which is typical. Hope I answered everything!

Can anyone give me any information about Keystrokes? I'm having trouble finding any recent information on them. Thanks!
Some More Keystrokes Info
Well, J, I'll take some of your questions. The pay was higher than what was offered to me by other companies by a full cent per line. We are paid on the 1st and 15th, direct deposit, and check is in the bank by 10:00 that day. I love my primary and secondary accounts. I have plenty of work. Hope this helps - we'd love to have you!

Any new info on Keystrokes?
I have checked the archives and haven't found much recent info.  I would really appreciate the good, bad, and ugly.  Pay on time, benefits, flexible, etc.... Thanks in advance!
Any info on SmartMed vs Keystrokes?
If anyone has any information on SmartMed I would appreciate it, (having enough work, pay, etc).  Trying to decide between SmartMed and Keystrokes for radiology accounts.  Thanks!
Any recent info on Keystrokes
Does anyone have any experience with Keystrokes? I am getting kind of fed up with my company that I have been with for a year, and I just got an e-mail Keystrokes saying that my resume meets their requirements and sent me a questionnaire to fill out. I was wondering how the pay is, how the accounts are, the managers, and how easy their platform is to learn. Any info, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated!
Keystrokes and Meditech info please
I am going to work for Keystrokes on the Meditech platform and now I read horrid things about the platform.  I DON'T do well with donating my time to set up reports or to send them, and this appears to be the premise of Meditech...  Can somebody enlighten me?  Please tell me there is not a lot of wasted time (aka... DONATED TIME) on the meditech platform.  Thanks

Good for Keystrokes

Is Keystrokes a good company to

work with.  I read about negative notes, but it sounds like they were all coming from the same person.  Need serious feedback.


I would go with Keystrokes, had a good experience
with them, I left for my own reasons, nothing to do with them at all, they were great. Above poster is right, stay away from Landmark, I had the same experience with them.
Keystrokes - good, bad, and ugly

Would anyone be so kind as to give me some insight into this company?    In the past everything I've read about it was pretty good, but I'm not really able to pull up anything recent.  Thanks a bunch. 


Keystrokes definitely a good one - work there now
Had a nightmare experience with TT. Have heard DeVenture is a good one but no personal experience.
Keystrokes - good news!
I was so excited and wanted to share my good news.  I've read many helpful posts on this board about Keystrokes and what a good company it is, so I decided to apply.  I tested with them over the weekend and heard back from her in a matter of hours, asking to set up a phone interview with me about a job offer.  Yay! 
well Keystrokes isn't a fit for everyone so good luck wherever you go....:)

Transcend? Keystrokes? Good or bad?
Does anyone know anything about this company?  Keystrokes? 
Keystrokes is a good one...I love it there...
and only employee positions...
Keystrokes has good FTE benefits
So sorry about you losing your job, and I hope you find something you enjoy quickly. 
Keystrokes is a VERY good company....sm

I work on the clinic accounts, always busy, always LOTs of work, but of course any experienced MT knows it takes a little longer to type your line requirements on clinic work, it is a LOT of work for me, but I love it and I love my account.  I finally love my MT career again. I was in total burn out before with all of these companies I applied, was hired with....such awful accounts most of them nowadays, that the good work is going offshore with MOST companies. 


All I can say is that I am happy and when the day comes that I have to change jobs again, that will be the end for me as an MT.  Getting too old and tired for all this. :)


Anyone worked at Keystrokes, Good, Bad???
Just wanted some information about Keystrokes to see if anyone works there and likes it.  Thanks.
Thinking of going with Keystrokes but need to know if this is a good move
Can anyone tell me anything about Keystrokes? Good to work for, personal, friendly, organized, plenty of work, etc. I really do not want to jump into another bad situation after just getting out of one for the last 8 years. Any info is greatly appreciated.
I recommend Keystrokes also, good experience with them.

Is Keystrokes a good company to work for. nm
:
I agree. Keystrokes is a good company that sm
really does care about its employees. I have been there a long time (7 years) so I have seen them grow from small to large. There have been a lot of changes through the years, all positive, and if someone is not there now, they really do not know what is what. This year alone, we have added benefits including PTO that posts quarterly so that you do not have to wait a year, paid life insurance, dental insurance, additional life insurance to purchase and vision insurance. These are in addition to great health insurance that only went up $8 compared to my husband's company that went up $180 per month, Aflac, 401k and other benefits.

Yes, there are a lot of happy people working there but not every company is for every company.

Did they have a lot of problems back 7 years ago, 5 years ago, etc? They did but they worked through them and improved themselves and continue to do so.

I make great money, have steady work with very few exceptions and have great benefits. I was remembered with a card at Christmas, every birthday and with a gift each MT Week. I have received little thank you gifts here and there, get OT pay when asked to work it and do not get bothered as long as I do my job. Their standards are high but their pay is higher than most as well.

THAT is why there are so many happy people at Keystrokes. If the company didn't work out for you or you didn't work out for the company, it may be time to try them again as things are always changing for the better. If you did not work out for them, tell them that you can improve as well. I bet they'd listen and consider that.

Are they perfect? No, but they are as close to a perfect job as I need and want. As long as they keep improving and not making bad changes, I will stay until I retire in 8 years.
Word ZPressed or Keystrokes? Any info on either company? I have heard both are reputable
thanks
Reply to Is Keystrokes a good company to work for
I have been in this business for 15+ years and I can honestly say, I have worked for quite a few different companies (Heartland - THE WORST OUT THERE; Softscript, about as bad and Spheris was so/so) and Keystrokes IS THE BEST!!!  I love my account and my supervisor and they do NOT hassle you as long as you are working. I have never heard a negative thing from anyone in the company yet!  I get paid on time and have taken time off in the last 3 months I have worked for them!  I SAY GO FOR IT!!   Okay, I will get off my  now!!   Anyway.. Keystrokes ROCKS!!
I honestly hope you will have a good experience with Keystrokes

I'm sure that not all the supervisors were as hyper as the one I had - she drove me crazy, wanting me to work practically 24/7. The last couple of months I was there, during a 63-day period, I only had 3 real days off where I didn't work at least a couple of hours which ended up turning into five or six. Add that to working 10-12 hours during my 8-hour work days, and I just plain got burnt out.


But that was only one particular client (if you would like the name, please email me). I am sure there were other clients that she could have given me, but she kept assuring me that this was the best client she had.


So I would just say make sure your lead is 1) looking out foryou and 2) telling you the truth (the third time I caught mine in a lie, I quit).


Good luck!


Keystrokes clinic MTs, do you make good money?

IME it's hard to make good money doing clinic when paid by the line; some of the notes are only two sentences long.  Just wondering if it's any better at Keystrokes, i.e., good combination of short and long notes.


Keystrokes has new insurance (finally) that is reasonable and good coverage. sm
The cost for a single person is $404 per month but they pay 1/2, so it is $202 or $101 per pay check (1st and 15th). I received my papers and card and rx card last week and the coverage is better than the BCBS that I had with others. $20 per visit co-pay, instead of $50.
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. 
Keystrokes....very flexible, tons of work, great leads, good pay...
I love it there...
Ditto for Keystrokes. The two companies seem very similar. Congratulations on finding a good place
It is nice to know that there are growing companies who treat their employees well. Keystrokes is the closest I have come to YOG and that says a lot!

Good to know, thanks for the info. - sm
I used C-phone and have been considering selling it since he is the only one I have used it for lately, still sitting here by my desk. I hate using it though, like having the voice file in front of me where I can stop and start at will if necessary.
Precyse good or bad and info?
