Lots of info on them, none of it good.
Very hard to make lines, can't make $$, pay scale isn't easy to figure out, mgmt problems. 
Lots in archives on TRS, nothing good. Don't know
anything about All-type, but I have seen them mentioned so info is in archives too. 
Thanks - you have a good day too, and hope we have lots
of work to make our line counts!
Lots of good things below about

Not lots of ESLs and they are mostly pretty good. It is
the American dictators that are horrible, but there are other issues with the account.  
LOTS of good info can be found in the.....nm

Lots of promises, no follow through. Lots and lots of internal sm
problems. She is recruiting heavy right now as she has a CHANCE at getting a big account back. Even if they get it back, they'll blow it again from poor management.
Do a search. Lots of recent stuff--good and bad. nm

TransHealth...I've read lots of good and bad SM

Search the board...Lots of info, not too good..nm

lots of good technical things, but they outsource overseas
and a lot of their managers are from the old Edix, which is not a good thing, if you want to be treated with respect.

if you do not mind how you are treated, you can do okay. hard getting lines consistently.

my opinion. maybe things have changed, but I have read a lot of negative on here lately.
Well, you clearly need to readjust your settings, beause there's lots of good posted.

Sounds good to me, but lots of variables. Employer stability, for one. nm

I totally agree, your story is mine and lots, and lots of others, please
believe me when I say Keystrokes has been honest like we used to have in this profession. If I can help one Transcriptionist avoid what we have, this will all be worth it. I worked parttime for Keystrokes at the time I was fulltime with ____ and quit, 2 years later I begged them to take me back after once again my paycheck was cut in half, and they did with open arms. I don't mean to run down anyone but a lot of these transcription companies are getting obscenely rich while paying below minimum wage to transcriptionists, playing with dictation and after working for a couple of them you know who is honest and who is not. Sorry I came down so hard but the reality is there are single mothers out there that I bet cry themselves to sleep not able to give their children a decent life because it is easier to steal from us. When companies have millions of dollar to pay for other transcription companies, open transcription schools in other countries, ect., ect., you know there is a lot of money in it. That is all I am saying.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
Lots and lots of recent stuff in archives.
 
Lots and Lots of info about them in the archives. nm

Lots lots, cuz I prefer
the OP/PR notes over any report......
Call them. I have lots of work, had lots of work
during the holidays too.   I don't know who routes the work, but one of the office people is on vacation this week.   I occasionally have to call to get work depending on what hours I'm working, but I have never not gotten work when I've asked for it.  
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.

lots of ESL
This company works on VA and other accounts. The accounts have LOTS of ESL MDs on them and they are HARD ESL MDs too....the accounts are truely not worth the pay!!
lots of ESL's do not do it
You will never get out of the program and a certain mentor will grade you only on ESLs and you will not get out.
Lots of changes still going on there.

lots of ESL...sm
They are a pretty good company to work for. Pay is on time. The only thing is all the ESLs...and different doctors every day....really messes up your production, as normals are impossible.


LOTS of ESL

ESL - Chinese, Indian, Russian, Hispanic, British and many really awful english speaking newbie residents in the process of training. 


Yes, you can have (and may often need) the 12-hour window.  Workload is not consistent, had to ask for secondaries before I was there 3 months; when OT is approved other people come charging on there and take all the work.  Overstaffing appears to be a problem (though not a huge one yet).


I hope you can avoid the RadNet program, which atrocious and you are expected to be the unpaid go between for Webmedx techs and client techs, neither of which will own the problem.  Main platform, Enterprise, is slow and often slower.  Expect to have to drop what you're doing due to system freeze-ups and reboot a couple times a day.


The supe is very nice.


lots of lines on DQS
I've been on DQS about 2 months. I am averaging about 280 lph. I have been an MT for 1-1/2 years. I make use of InstantText and I set up a standard for almost every doc I come across. It can be done.
Lots of calculating there each day.

Uh, lots of red flags here. I'd be looking elsewhere.

lots of ex-mq mts go to that board and
she might read there 2

other on that board may know who she is 2

what's ur problem with it?
Lots of information.
Google it.  There are many hits for E-Dictate. 
lots of work
I got bored and tired of MQ not ever having any work, and I have found 2 part time positions that allow me to work whenever I want so long as I can get the required lines within a certain time frame. So far, I have worked for one platform for one month and the other for 1 day and already I am averaging more lph than with MQ. Think DocQScribe stinks maybe? Then add to that the time it takes for that stupid Etime logging baloney. I can't believe it took me this long, but it seems pretty plain to me.
You will get lots of replies of
keep in mind that is an average and includes everyone from the newbie to the ones that have been doing this for years. There is so much to take into consideration including whether the work is done for a national, whether you have your own accounts, work hourly at a hospital/clinic, etc. It does sound average to me for what its worth.
I have lots of work on my
If you don't already have a secondary...ask for one.
lots of ESLs
 
Probably everything you said. I have lots of work.
Lots of companies overhire probably because they need the work done and there are always a few MTs who have issues and don't work regularly or don't do their committed lines, so they hire more to make up for it.   It is possible they may be offshoring too.  You can ask about the company here and if they are offshoring someone may know.  Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do about either situation. 
lots of work?
So which company is it you work for that gives you lots of work?
