Keystrokes computer requirements - Looking.
Posted: Jun 20, 2010
Is the Keystrokes platform compatible with Windows 7? If so, can I override Vista with Windows 7?

I know that Windows 7 works with their radiology account, but I do not think it works with all other accounts.
It depends on the account. Keystrokes has over 100 radiology accounts. - RadMT

I think that it depends on the account because I know that not all radiology accounts can use Windows7, although I have heard that most can. Vista was another story altogether, not sure why.
Windows XP was required for me. - when I got hired

I actually bought a laptop with Windows 7 on it and was able to load my account on it. there are some glitches and it does not work as well, but I can get it to work. However, I was told that my account is the ONLY one that is compatible with Windows 7 because they are a new account.
You would have to check with them, obviously.
As far as overriding Vista with Windows 7 or overriding any Operating system, I know it can be done, but it is time consuming and costly.
Can anyone tell me what the computer requirements are for Transform? I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and Word 2010, but wondering if I would be able to use this for Transform or if I will have to break out my old XP computer with Word 2003.
Thanks for any info! ...
I have just received the computer specifications to begin working for Nuance. I need to purchase a new computer. My husband would like to buy a MAC. Is a MAC compatible with Nuance's specifications. Does anyone have any experience using a MAC who works for Nuance? I have never used a MAC for transcription, only art programs at college, so I don't know much about it. Thank you! ...
I noticed the Keystrokes ad asking that employees provide their own computer. Are there any instances where they would provide the computer for the employee? ...
I read that Medmedx supplies computers but you can only have Cable or DSL connection.
I live in an area where I cannot get cable or DSL. I have a wireless connection.
My question is, do they allow you to use our own computers?
Thanks for your time and have a great day? ...
The reason I ask this question is for my internet I have a USB modem. Do the computers supplied by Q have any extra USB ports so I can plug my Verizon in there?
Thanks! ...
I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...
What is the minimum line count requirement at MedQuist? Do you have different line count requirements for SR versus regular transcription? thank you ...
When a company states that their requirements are 1,000 lines/ 24 hour turnaround and or 5,000/ 7days, what does that mean? Forgive my ignorance but as you can see I'm new at this. ...
I posted this information below in response to someone else but wanted to bring it to the top because I, too, wonder why many PAs are so notoriously inaccurate when dictating. Hope nobody's offended by a double post.
I was reviewing PA coursework at a leading university and quote the following:
(My comments are in parentheses)
"A course in medical terminology is recommended (not REQUIRED?) for applicants who are not health professionals or for any appl ...
I was wondering what some of these other companies require for line counts per hour. We are required to do 520 on eScription -- I never make it. Lots of ESL, 99% editing. ...
I've been thinking about going into coding, but what is it like physically? The immobility of transcription drives me crazy sometimes, as well as the eye strain of editing, so I am wondering if the actual physical work of coding includes the same stress. Or maybe I will just get a job on my feet, stocking in a warehouse? ...
I've worked for MQ before, just before CBay bought MQ, but I can't remember (and maybe it's changed) what is the minimum number of hours or lines required per week? I thought it was something like 2000 lines per week. Is the minimum per hour still 100 lph for PT?
Also, what's the pay rate for VR now? I think it was still 70% when I left. Is it 50% or 60% of your regular line rate?
I'm just looking for something very part-time, like 10 hours ...
Seems to me, "one year acute care experience" was the basic requirement to sign on with an MTSO. Then it went to three years. Now, a lot of places require "five years' experience." Plus, QA has gotten unbelievably picky. I've always had top-notch quality and even been complimented personally by physicians at various local clinics. Recruiters call my test scores "excellent." And YET, wherever I start working, my QA looks like the homework of some dyslexic third-grader that comes back fr ...
What are the radiology requirements for production? What platform is used? What do you have to do to transfer to radiology? Is the pay worse, better, or the same? ...
I am curious about whether one has to have a certain amount of experience in coding before you can take the CCA or CCs certification exam. I have had 20 years of A&P and know a considerable amount about disease process. I have been studying coding on my own for about a year now. I know that your chances for passing the test are better if you have been in the coding business for several years, but has anyone out there taken the CCS just by studying and utilizing their life e ...
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find specific information on running DQS on my computer. I can run it on my desktop but recently purchased a new laptop that has a 64 OS and DQS only works with 32. Also, my old laptop won't run it for some reason even though it used to before DQS upgraded. Anyway, I would like to find the specifications on running DQS if anyone can help.
thank you. ...
Just was told by someone that the "new" JCAHO requirement is that you spell out dosages (ex. xoxoxoxo 10 milligrams b.i.d.) In all my 18 years never heard of this and I do not see it like this in any of my reference books or AHDI. IS THIS TRUE??? ...
Does anyone know what the QA requirements are to be employed in QA with Nuance? I have been transcribing for over 20 years and take pride in the reports that I produce. I have been working for Nuance for about six months now and as this company seems to hold a higher standard of accuracy percentage (98.5% compared to 98% with other companies), I had assumed that their QA department was very experienced. However, after my latest failed audit, I found this to be disturbingly incorrect. Last week, ...
From a Forbes magazine article:
The only three true job interview questions are:
1. Can you do the job? 2. Will you love the job? 3. Can we tolerate working with you?
That’s it. Those three. Think back, every question you’ve ever posed to others or had asked of you in a job interview is a subset of a deeper in-depth follow-up to one of these 3 key questions. Each question potentially may be asked using different words, but every ...
I work part time with Nuance and have a 99.8% QA accuracy score this quarter. I did not receive the better me, better we incentive though. What are the requirements to get this? Do you have to be full time? I've been with the company for 4 months now. Thanks for any info! ...
Wanting to cut hours down but still be eligible for PTO and health insurance (If I have to take it out for myself alone). Like most of us I have another job on the side but can't afford to totally give this up either. Is it 30 hours to be considered FT? I sure wish this fictitious employee handbook would appear in print somewhere. TIA.
...
I am going to need a new job soon, and I'm trying to find out what the various companies require a person to do to be eligible for health benefits. I cannot physically work a 40-hour week anymore, but I am a high producer. Anyone know what Amphion requires? Hours per week, lines per day, lines per hour, lines per week? All of the above? Thanks.... ...
I will never get a quarterly bonus. I was just reading the bonus requirements, somehow I had it that we only had to have a 99% in order to get bonus, but this is what I have:
2013 Quarterly QA Bonus Requirements
1. Employee must be employed for 90 days
2. Employee must be in good standing(not on a performance action plan/in the process of being placed on a plan)
3. Employee must be employed for the entire quarter
4. Employee must be employed at the time the bonus is paid out
5. E ...
Here's what's required to get hired as a coder for MM right now:
CCS required; RHIA, RHIT preferred. Bachelors or Associates degree preferred. Must have a minimum of 3 years of related coding experience; 5-7 years preferred.
These are pretty high standards, and yet some here would have us believe that MModal's own training will be *sub par*. I'm really getting kind of sick of the naysayers. Good luck to everyone on your test! ...
Anyone else think that the new OOW/No Studies requirements make no sense?
I had seen someone post them on here last week (but I'm sure they were taken down for posting "company information" or whatnot), and got them from my own manager shortly thereafter.
The new requirements make no sense to me and sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through just to say "Hey! I'm out of work!"
So, after we send the initial e-mail, clock in and out, etc. (stand on one leg while touching o ...
Many have posted on here that they received a message stating that they must check FIESA on a daily/weekly basis and sign off on things. I hadn't received that notice till last week, and so now I'm wondering of those that received that, are you continuiing to ignore FIESA or are you really checking it?
Of course, we're at the end of the quarter so I'm getting several major errors now, as is usual. You can look at my FIESA for the last year and for 2-1/2 mon ...
Hi,
Does anyone know of any companies who still have 150 or 200 lph minimum requirements with employee status..besides Nuance. Also, does anyone know of any companies who offer 12 hour windows with employee status..again, besides Nuance. Thanks! ...
