Keystrokes and VR? - PeachMT


Posted: Aug 27, 2010

Does anyone know if Keystrokes uses VR?  I am working with VR at the currently company I am working for and I don't like it.  I'm considering applying with Keystrokes. 

Keystrokes - No VR

I applied at Keystrokes and they told me no VR, BUT 80% ESLs w/Mexican accents. I didn't take the position. Even if they don't have VR now, that is not to say they will get it in the future.

I am on that 80% account. - atagirl

It was touch at 1st, but you get used to the voices. It is cake now and great experience for the future. There is also some comedy associated with that account, so there is never a dull moment. And the managers and company are all aware that it is bad account, so we have a lot of fun with it. I found what I was looking for with KS--a fun place to work. I have no other standard for judging a company.

That should be tough, not touch. I wish my fingers would listen to my brain. - atagirl

It's close to 80% ESL - peachMT

Where I'm at now. Spanish speaking are much easier than some others I must say. So, nobody has heard of KS going to VR?
I doubt anyone will be able to stay off VR. - atagirl

But I have been assured that they are not thinking about it, at least on the 80% ESL account.

They do have SR but probably only a few accounts - Good Luck

From the information on the Keystrokes website, it appears that it depends on the accounts you are assigned.  There is speech recognition, but probably on only a few accounts.  That is something you will have to ask the recruiter about.  


 


"Some options include full or partial outsource of one or all departments within a hospital, clinic or hospital system:



  • Using the facility’s existing dictation system and transcribing directly in the facility’s HIS (Hospital Information System) or RIS (Radiology Information System).

  •  

  • Utilizing Keystrokes’ KeyVoice™ dictation system and retrieving documents from Keystrokes’ KeyNotes™ transcription platform.

  •  

  • Fax, printing, electronic signature and EMR upload options available.


  • Back-end speech recognition editing of either the facility’s speech technology or KeyNotesSR™.  


Keystrokes welcomes the opportunity to interview and hire existing in-house transcription staff in the event of a total outsource and will offer a complete benefits package including PTO, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, opportunity for advancement and 401k, coupled with a compensation package that is higher than the industry average."


 


Hope this helps.

How is it? The trainer says it is one of the easiest platforms to learn on if you've never done it.

Not only am I new to Keystrokes, totally new to VR as well. Thanks in advance! ...

So rumor has it that an original KS employee has decided to leave the nest and venture out with another company.  WOW...I thought she was a fixture there.  I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks, huh.  Wonder if it was her idea, or theirs (which is more likely the reason).  Oh well, let's see who's next???? Perhaps that wonderful Coordinator that everyone loves and fears...you know, the frustrated teacher wannabe!!!!  ...
