Somebody please help me decide. I am so confused about all of this. Trying to decide for a new company to call home. I initially was expressing interest in other companies (not mentioned too much on this message board) but now I'm shying away from them because I don't like what I've been hearing about them as some of them have been recently mentioned. Which do think is better, Keystrokes or Nuance, and why if I may ask. Please help steer me in so ...
Who has worked at both of these companies? Compare the two. There is so much negativity on this board, it almost makes every company sound bad except one.
I would like just a factual comparison on the work, the pay, etc. :) ...
It seems like I had heard that either Nuance or M-Modal had acquired Keystrokes. However, I don't see anything about this when I run a search on the boards. Did I dream this? ...
Does anyone have any recent info on any of these companies? Also, are their benefits any good? These are the ones that I've heard about most often on here and have heard the best comments about, so I'm thinking about applying with them... Positive and negative comments welcome. ...
Nuance bought Encompass recently, too. I heard they are buying all the eScription companies. I bet that Keystrokes gets bought by MQ soon. What the heck is going on with all these companies buying each other? Will there be anyone left? ...
According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive.
In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...
that fall during the shift. For example, if half of your hours fall in 3rd shift and half fall in 1st shift, do the 3rd shift hours pay more cpl? Or, do all hours have to fall within the shift to qualify?
Thanks,
Yet another sad Transcend employee... ...
I'm new to Keystrokes and just found out I barely didn't pass my very first audit to get off 100% QA. Does anybody know how long they give you to get this 98% passing score before they fire you? ...
I have given notice but including today have 2 checks coming. To my surprise, the deposit is not in my account today.
Has anyone else not gotten their DD from Keystrokes? ...
I was wondering if anybody knew who I'd contact about trying to add secondary accounts to work on. I've sent a couple of emails out but I'm not sure I sent them to the right people. ...
Read the job opening for Keystrokes and also talked with the recruiter. Can anybody here who works(ed) for and Keystrokes give real, hands-on experience for working for them? I've had many instances where how it really is isn't how the recruiter said it would be and don't want to get burned again. I'd really like to know the good and bad about the company upfront before I decide whether or not to accept the job.
Please don't ...
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. ...
Seems some companies just do not learn after being sued for unpaid overtime. Here is another one filed on June 2, 2011 - Whitaker v Keystrokes Transcription - here is the link http://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/illinois/ilndce/1:2011cv03734/256349/1/
...
and QA dings me for one. Unbelievable. That's what it averages for 1400 lines a day full-time. Even with 3 cups of coffee and an office chair seat belt, it's no easy feat. Ninety-thousand keystrokes PER DAY. That's not including the ADT, the Internet look-ups, etc. Throw me a bone here, QA.
How many keystrokes to you do, PERFECTLY?? ...
Just wondering about OSI and Keystrokes. I recently have applied to both of these and looks like I could be hired by either one (have already done the testing). Could anyway tell me how they are to work for. Do they do voice recognition? And anyone know their pay rates? ...
Noticed they posted a job for the night shift. For those who have worked this shift or are working this shift for Keystrokes, is there enough work. Seems never to be enough work and that would be murder staying away for no work. :-/ ...
Was told by recruiter the account was about 50/50? Think this would be a typical assumption of their accounts? (Have been told this before and it was way highter...like in the 90/10 range). Thanks in advance. ...
Yes, I know there are negatives regarding just about every MT company, but I am just about to start with Keystrokes and I'm trying to stay positive and be excited about it, so I would love to hear the good stuff about working for the company and what I can look forward to as I get started. Thanks guys!! ...
How is it? The trainer says it is one of the easiest platforms to learn on if you've never done it. Said the threshold is set high at like 85% (not sure what that means) and it proves to be very lucrative for some. Anyone have any experience with it they could share? Not only am I new to Keystrokes, totally new to VR as well.
Thanks in advance! ...
applied and was hoping for some info on them. The ad says they pay by the hour which I am psyched about! Does anyone know how much or how they work this? Thanks! ...
A few years back, I was cut in pay at Keystrokes. Do you know if they are going to eventually give us a raise or that money back? They seem to be hiring more and more and some of the pay that is offered is more than I currently am getting. I wanted to advance in pay, not go down in pay! ...
