They are wonderful! Pay on time, work always available, wonderful
people
Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money.  They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
Thanks to all who responded! SM

I will definitely ride it out, knowing about the time of year, and use it to build speed with the new work, etc.  Glad I posted; I'm a better frame of mind now about the lack of work. 


Thank you to everyone who responded!
I appreciate all of your responses to my dilemna.  I will give it more time and hold onto my old job for now also.  Thank you to everyone and Happy Holidays!
Thanks to all who responded....
Think I'll pass and not waste my time with the interview.
Thanks, I responded. :)

Thanks so much to everyone that responded, I did

Go and apply with this company and received a *ticket.*  I received a message that stated that they would be in touch with me when and if they started hiring and if I met their criteria, fingers crossed.  Are you working for them now? 


I know I applied with them, and they never responded.

I responded privately, thank you.
.
I sent my resume and he responded
back with an email asking if I would be interested in testing. I emailed back and said I didn't mind and asked for their website. He emailed back with their website and said HR would be contacting me soon.

Guess I'll have to wait and see how long that takes! Good luck to you though.
Look further down this post. She responded
yesterday - Bright Universe.
Got your emails and have responded
Thanks so much! The information is truly appreciated. I sent you a reply via email, as well, and I hope you will respond. Thanks again!
Blackswan, sorry nobody has responded.
I have no idea about Orion, though I know there were recent posts here about them. Oracle has always had a negative response. I know I had signed on with them years ago and was so excited and thrilled. Then everything went wrong tech and set up wise. I remember I had to buy PC anywhere, something like that, and then never got my training, dates set and broken by them, etc. That seems to be the norm. Landmark - very low work volumes, and don't pay for spaces. MTs come and go regularly, as accounts seem to come and go regularly. I have always heard fine for PT, but not for full time.
I have not responded yet. It was suggested that
we should let them know when we were ready to train. I figure when It gets to the point when I am not getting my required lines for the pay period, I will left them know I need the training.
I responded for more VR and am getting less work sm
period on my primary account. I spend most times on my secondary and am just making the 11,000 line count per payperiod. I had been hoping to pick up enough extra to make the incentives but that is out of the question. My paycheck is really hurting. I can't work like this much longer.
I'm the person you responded to sm
the milk is for my daughter.  Should I have just told her there is no milk and have her use water in her cereal?  You are absolutely heartless to ridicule a situation like mine or any other person's.
To the person who responded RE: Key Transcription in ND
I looked in the archives and on MT Spot and didn't find anything.  Did you work for them previously?  If so, would it be okay if I emailed you?  If not, could you possibly provide a link to any past threads about this company?  I'd greatly appreciate it.  I've been offered a position with Key, but I'm having second thoughts, especially since I saw your post.  Thanks.
Sorry, I had not had coffee when I responded earlier ... sm
best of luck to you too. I'm sorry that you are having to go through all this. I think most of us just want to work hard and do a good job and be treated fairly by our employers. Seems so simple, but in my experience it has been hard to find. I'm moving on and hopefully will have found a better employer.
To Mary who responded by e-mail (sm)
Thank you.  I tried to send a brief message back to you at your e-mail address twice but it came back.  Thanks for the info. 
okay, your emails finally came and I responded
x
They responded to my resume within 24-hours and
within 3 days of submitting resume I had an offer.   I submitted resume through their website, was unsure if they were even hiring. 
Nandan has been told many times. He never has responded to
what he was told. They had a great team the Spring of 2004 and all left and what was left in management were the remnants with an owner of a co that they purchased from her, so she was it! Everyone else had to listen to her jibberish and kiss her b*tt!!

Good people got away, management caliber. Sad, but that's how they operate
I can only assume that the company which has not responded is either of the opinion that (sm)
if you are seriously interested in the position, you will find a way to take the test -- wav pedal or not, or just haven't had time to respond yet.  I've tested without a pedal and, while yes it is more time consuming, it can be done. As far as the dial up is concerned, I would think that if sent them an email requesting their system requirements, the information would be divulged, within a day or so.
Nice that they responded, but would've saved..sm
I get that they are relatively new, but with nothing at all coming up on Google search (not even a phone listing), it's understandable why people questioned. I still think it's strange there is literally nothing available online, even using her name and variations, but the address seems to be an office building of sorts, so that seems plausible.

Good luck to those who applied. I hope it ends up being a diamond in the rough. :)
I accidentally responded to wrong person
I got trigger-finger happy hehe
I emailed you before for info about KS and you have not responded. I am looking for information sm
on them, and you said that you had a reason for their high turnover. I am trying to make a decision this weekend. ***
Once upon a time, a surgeon responded to my concerns
The girls were tearing up the 3 surgeons up one side and down the other. And OMG, what they had to say about the office manager!!! I felt they were betraying the man who fed them. So...I went into his office and said, Dr., the morale is very low, the office staff are very upset, threatening to find new jobs and I thought it should be addressed during a staff meeting.

His response was: Do not pay attention to what they say. Venting is a necessary part of being a part of the work force (when you are an employee). The doctor brushed it off,did not want to hear the details and he did not really care who was the instigator. He felt that as long as they showed up on time, held up their end of the load and were pleasant with the patients (anorectal surgeons - ouch).

That office staff who whined and complained and ridiculed was with the surgical team for over 10 years - An RN, 2 front office, insurance cler and med Records gal.

Huge Bonuses (which say THANK YOU!) at Christmas brought momentary pleasantness but come mid January, they'd start again, feeding off each other, like a bunch of women at a Sewing Circle (have you seen the pic on this website depicting us as women in a sewing circle, dear?)

Bottom line - it is harmless. If money is there and then not there, without warning, a person who is not complaining about it is the one I'd be curious about.
I think you know what I meant. That is not the problem as I responded directly to her email.

I am sure that any other company that tried to respond to her also had the same problem. I know it is sbcglobal.net but hey, I am not on here to get QA'd.  I in a very quick moment put up a message to an MT who wanted a job and did it very quickly in the middle of my busy schedule trying to be courteous and helpful.


Have a nice evening or was that eneving.  :)


Don't know if they even exist. I live right here in NY and they've never responded to my resum
s
I e-mailed them and responded back almost immediately, offered low pay. 45 minute interview. nm

It IS wonderful!

I have worked in many places in 30+ years, but this is by far the best.  Very well organized. Lots of open communication.  Ongoing conversations with your fellow editors throughout your shift.  They will listen and help on jobs that you have trouble with.  The management treats you with utmost respect.  We are all called colleagues - no superiority complexes here.  I say go for it.  I have only been here a month myself but wonder what took me so long to get here!  Please join us!!


They are WONDERFUL
I am so glad that I found this company. Great pay, great dictators, great platform, pay is always on time, what more could I want?
Since you are new everything probably seems wonderful...
because it is at first...and then the more time goes by and you keep running out of work, have your e-mails come back unanswered when you question why there is no work, etc...then you will understand...if you still love it after you have been there a few more months then good for you...but obviously there is more than one person who feels this way...
That would be wonderful! (nm)

I use this one and it is wonderful!
www.nolimitlongdistance.com.  The ad should be up at MTStars shortly but meantime you can go to the website.  I use it and have logged in about 12000 minutes this last month.  Still only $24.95 flat rate.  You need high-speed Internet though but other than that, it can be used anywhere in the country. 
My sup seems to think is it wonderful too but not the MTs nm
xxxxx
It may very well be wonderful for SM

the people who are posting about whatever company.  What makes one place great for them may not be your cup of tea.  It doesn't mean they are lying.  Maybe they landed on a good account.  Maybe they have a huge Expander and can make money anywhere.  Maybe they like Meditech, who knows.


But to call them liars, recruiters or anything else is not fair.


Thanks for your help. It looks wonderful.
And you are a gem for telling us about this. A big Thank you! :)
How wonderful could they be
if they were using OS MTs and did not tell the client? That stinks on ice.
That's WONDERFUL!!
Great deal! I am SO glad to hear that you have an interested audience. PLEASE come back and let us know how it goes. Good luck!!!
There is a wonderful saying
PAY PEANUTS, GET MONKEYS. How on earth they can expect quality for that price is just beyond me. I hope none of us enables their bad behavior by accepting such jobs. Believe me, it is not worth it.
QA can be wonderful, BUT
Most of the time my QA is terrific, can occasionally help me out.  For the most part, the blanks I leave they can't fill in either.  The only time I get frustrated with QA is when the QA person obviously has less experience than I do and changes things that I have done correctly to be INCORRECT.  IMO, QA people should be seasoned and well-rounded MT's.  I can't for the life of me understand why a company would put a 2-year MT in QA to do QA for MT's that have say 15 years of experience.  Usually the 2-year MT is one of the ones that NEEDS QA, simply because they have not had time to learn all the surgical terms, terms for all kinds of specialties, etc.  I don't care how fantastic you are at grammar and spelling, nor how fast you learn, for QA experience should be a must and it's just not something a 2-3 year MT has enough of.  It drove me nuts at one company I worked for when they would welcome a new QA person and say they had been an MT for 2-3 years and would now be checking the work of all MTs, many of whom had 10+ and far beyond years of experience.  I think odds are good that these are the QA people who change correct dictation to incorrect, and it just frustrates me and makes me nuts that my good name/#/initials, whatever, are on a report that I took great pains to make high quality, and then a QA person changes it to subpar and sends it through in my name, to go in a patient's medical record with errors that I did not put there and should not be there.  Anyone else experience this?
that is wonderful! There are sm
many MTs out there still able to make a living at this if they are willing to work.....even with lower cpl wages
a WONDERFUL job and how do sm
we due this every weekend? You are only working one weekend day. This is the healthcare field. Some companies require a weekend day and that is how it is. How do you adjust your family time during the week? What's the difference?

This profession has gotten ridiculous. First it started with schools touting the profession as a work at home job and everybody and his brother, sister, aunt, uncle wanted to work at home. Now that it is classified as work at home, now its too hard to work a weekend day? If you were in a hospital setting you would have to work weekends there. I get so tired of hearing this stuff.

If the job is wonderful as you say and you are not taking it for the only reason being you have to work Saturday (having Sunday and Monday off, or Friday and Saturday, then go work in a bank for crying out loud.

This is the real world and if you need to work, this is what it is. Your comment on please explain this to me as I just cannot see how it is possible absolutely amazes me. Where is hubby on Saturday? You have your time after work on Saturday just as you would during the week.

Sorry, you need to explain this as I cannot see how you think this is an impossible situation. There are plenty of folks out there who would love to have that job. Sounds like they deserve it more and wouldn't whine either.
What a wonderful moment.
Those don't come around that often. We all know that "no work" isn't always a good thing, but she got a fabulous morning out of it. Let her enjoy it, and let's hope we get one like that soon!
They are really a wonderful company with little or no
turnover in staff. The owner really knows how to treat his staff well.
You sound wonderful
Or at least give me a chance to test with you?
Where are all these wonderful extras we are getting.
I would much rather be SE than this new plan.
Has been a wonderful experience for me. SM

The attitude and support I have received there have been great.  The QA is strict but very helpful, and it is actually a pleasure to work for them. The manager is a truly good person, hard to find in this field.


Sandy is Wonderful!
I worked for Fast Chart when I very first started out at home almost 8 years ago. Very honest!. The pay is not great, but you will be paid each and every time without a doubt. Also, you will have plenty of work. The consistency of reports was also excellent. If  I ever had to go back to find a job, I would work for her again in a heartbeat. I cannot say that for too many companies anymore.
yes the do!! a wonderful company
