• Any thoughts about Acusus versus Keystrokes? If you had your choice sm - Unsure MT
  • Usually, the less you read about a company on - this board, the better the chances are - sm
  • Have worked for both. I am back at Keystrokes after making the mistake of leaving for Accusis. - BTDT

They really do sound too good to be true.  I had been away from this board for about 9 months and just happened upon the posts regarding them last week.  The one that really caught my eye was (a few pages down) the MT who posted that they are a bright spot in a dim MT universe.  After reading that, I sent in my resume.....and have just accepted a position with them.

If I had not been offered employment with them, I would have asked how long they keep resumes on file for consideration and when that time period is up, if I had not heard from them, I would then re-submit my resume.

I will post again in the future with an objective assessment the company and their treatment of MTs.  My motto is always - If it sounds too good to be true (you know the rest!!).

Also, FYI, I have over 30 years experience, specialize in acute care with OPs being my favorite, and also have extensive ESL experience with a variety of dialects.

for part-time, but I am not quitting my current job yet.  I am going to test the waters first. 

from a recruiter at Focus.  They offered me a job doing acute care supposedly 60% VR and 40% MT.  I can't say that I would even think about it.  What I don't get is this:  She said these reports have to be listened to all the way through.  BUT, you don't get paid for the whole report.  You only get paid for the lines you correct.  The way I see it is you could be listening to a three page report, correct 4 lines and get exactly 16 cents!...4cpl!  Am I interpereting this correctly?  This is absolutely ridiculous.  I don't care what people say, there is no way you could make any money doing VR at that rate.  Is there something I am missing here?

The real frosting on the cake so to speak was the fact they they said their tech people are in India!  I don't think so!  Im not giving India any of my business.  Its bad enough to call the utility companies and get these folks much less having tech support over there.

Somebody shed some light here!   Thanks

have been waiting and waiting for a call from tech support to get set-up, but after a week and a half and no call, I am wondering if I should move on. 

I would call, but I am not even sure which Keystrokes hired me....UGH!!!  I read here somewhere there were two different companies. 

Any insight would be helpful.

but one is by the line (XP) and the other is by the report (KS).  Both do a lot of radiology.  Current and past employees of both can you answer these questions:

1.  Do you have enough work?

2.  Do you like the platform?

3.  Do you earn a decent living?

4.  What do you specifically like and/or dislike about each?

I am really torn here and need some honest, specific feedback, not the common they're great or stay away.  SOS!!

maybe cost of living raises or performance raises or ANYTHING like that, so a person knows there is a chance for income advancement over time?  TIA!

I'm an in-house hospital/Radiology MT who is considering working at home full time; just exploring my options. 

TIA!

Hello! I hope I've got this on the right board (if not, please e-mail and advise me of where it would be better posted). I've just accepted a position as an Independent Contractor, and I would like some input on what this really entails as far as deducting taxes and social security. How do you determine what amount to take out, when/how do you pay those taxes? If I was eligible for a tax refund as an employee, will I be eligible for a tax refund as an IC? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

offer from Axoltol.  Amphion has been requesting OT for weeks and weeks from everyone.  As of yesterday, my 2 accounts were out of work.  They need to request the OT only on a couple of accounts, but since they are having everyone work OT, several accounts are low.  The way they manage their accounts is just odd, IMHO.  I have been trying to get an answer for days about sending back the puter and still no answer.

I did accept offer from Axoltol.  I would think that having so many new accts coming in is a good thing!  They seem very well organized.  I emailed about when my computer would be here as I am going out of town and didn't want to miss the shipment.  I got a phone call within 30 minutes.  She checked on the date and even offered to give a tracking # if I wanted.  I thought that was very nice!

I start Monday.  I can post next week to give you any info on how things are going if you wish.

How long does it take usually for a company to get you into training and typing after just being hired?  A week from your acceptance? Two weeks?   I'm waiting for equipment to arrive now. 

TIA.
