Lots of stuff in the archives, but it is a horrible
company.  Some of the worst ESLs, sound quality horrible at least on some accounts, frequent turnover.  I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. 
Support bad, wouldnt repond, lots of stuff to fill in not

Yep, bad stuff is sometimes good
and good stuff is sometimes bad.  A couple of times I've really wished for things that eventually came true and they were definitely NOT in my best interests in the long run.  (Thinking of one guy in particular.)  It's hard to be philosophical when you miss out on something you felt you wanted or needed, but time often proves this was the best thing.  Wish the best for you. 
know it was discussed a lot in the past, maybe search achives?NM

Tons of stuff in archives, nothing good. If you
open your post near the bottom in blue is something about related posts.  Click on it and you'll find lots of stuff to start. 
Maybe their supervisors give them the good stuff on
complain to upper management or HR, you get ignored because the supervisor always covers herself with lies and/or using TAT as the excuse.  Sit on that TAT and rotate. 
search the achives, pretty negative but not sure how old the info. NM

Zylo gives the good stuff to their favorites. New employees
get the leftover junk. Worked for them for 6 months recently, loved it at first except I wasn't getting enough work. 1000 lines one day, 200 the next, 75 the next. Kept asking for more work but never got it. Fortunately I didn't quit my job with Medquist and still had that for backup. Finally left last November.
I think it's that services only get the overflow & the garbage anymore. All the good stuff is kep

I've been looking for years. It's always a mix anymore. Good stuff gets kept in house. nm

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
I just applied and hope to hear from them, the archives and the posts below from some of their MTs looks good.
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.
TransHealth...I've read lots of good and bad SM

about them, but am going to start with a very open mind.  I am looking forward to it.

Yep. Like other poster said, lots in the archives. 99+% good feedback
on this company. Check the archives.

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

How are the MW accts that use the ExText? Good sound? Lots of work? Acute care or clinic? Thx. 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 info about them in the archives. nm
 
Lots and lots of work. You will love

Lots and lots of posts in the archives.
 
Lots and lots of info in archives and several
posts just down the page.  Open your original post and near the bottom click on the blue see related posts and you'll get the most recent posts. 
Lots lots, cuz I prefer
the OP/PR notes over any report......
stuff
you have to purchase about $1200 worth of their "proprietary" stuff.
What to do to get rid of that stuff:
Copy the URL address of the offending post then click CONTACT (on the bar on the right) and fill in the Admin email form. In the box, type what the problem is (cussing, vulgar language, blah, blah) and paste that URL. Ask them to remove it.

It's the cussing and vulgar stuff they want out of here.


Why do we put up with this stuff?
No paid holidays, and the list goes on.  It feels like we should be '"greatful" that we get any PTO at all.  Who are they kidding? Who do you know who works at home all the time, never done, and the beat goes on.  I used to worry about voice recognition, now I think the best thing that could happen to me would be to have to find a "real"  job, real bennies, real security (or reasonable facsimile), real paycheck, real time off, real paid holidays, real sick time, etc.  We do way too much for way too little.  I feel like the time I get at home because I work at home is not enough to pay back the every weekend, pressure, pressure, pressure, always behind, never type enough hassles.  What pay is worth all that?  Let's be reasonable, maybe 60K a year but I make half of that in a good year.  And the more they tie me to the chair the slower I will be.  So on it goes.....time to get real...
