Keystrokes just bought the company I work for. Are all small companies being sold?

My company is being bought out by Keystrokes. Do any of you currently work for Keystrokes? If so, what do you think about the company? Should I be worried? ...

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? ...

Does anyone get the feeling that Keystrokes may be sold? ...

to the owners. Are they still involved, or when the MTs find out about the company being sold, are nowhere to be found for questioning. I would like to know how long the original owners are involved when they announce they sold the company, i.e., Encompass bough by Nuance. I have not heard a peep from the owner and wondered what the heck is going on. Dusting off the resume. ...

I am relieved. I am going to file for unemployment then get another job. I am not sad at all. I spent 14 years doing this job. I was getting bored anyway. PS: It was to MModal. ...

I am nervous and excited at the same time. It's been a long time since I was an employee, so it will be a change. I have a few friends who went there last year and are very happy, so I am sure it will be a good thing for all of us. The drawback is that I feel too old for change, and I know things will. ...

I've sort of been out of the loop for a while at least as far as MQ's acquisitions are concerned. The last I heard was the Spheris takeover of MQ...oh, wait, that's supposed to be the MQ takeover of Spheris, right? Can anyone tell me what other companies have been purchased by MQ? Thanks! ...

Just wondering if there were any warning signs before you were bought out? Or anything unusual happening? The company I work for now hires Nuance to do our audits and had them do HIPAA training for us. Now, I am worried they will be buying the company out. I am probably being paranoid but just wondering. ...

Also, although voice recognition has taken off, do you think there will always be companies that won't do it? I think I feel more comfortable with the small companies than the big ones. ...

I am looking for part-time work and have 3 years' exp in a variety of specialties. I would like info on companies that use Emdat. Thanks. ...

Are there any small companies who use Escription for VR editing? I worked briefly for Nuance and love Escription, but found the vast amout of managers, etc, confusing. I never knew who to talk to, etc. Other than that, they were great. Wished I had not quit when I did, but.... Just wondering. ...

They so far have changed payroll, but not for ICs. Now they are doing a webinar, but ICs are not included. I'm thinking they're either going to get rid of ICs, or make us become employees or walk. Anyone have experience with MD-IT buying out the company you work for as an IC? ...

Or am I thinking of a different company cuz I see they are hiring? ...

a little over a month ago. Guess what, started running out of work yesterday. Already out of work today, 4 hours into my shift. Has the fun started? ...

Having most recently been at MDI, which sold to Transcend, and now is being bought by Nuance -- I am really bummed. Those of you who say there ARE good companies out there, that one just has to look. Please, tell me either on this forum or via e/m, what am I to look for? How do I know when I find it? I am near 60, with decades in this business in all capacities it seems, and need to know how to hone this process so as not to waste precious time and/or make mistakes. ...

I was just notifed by my company that I am working at that MedQuist has bought them out and will be taking over as of the middle of next month. We already use DocQscribe so am wondering if anyone else has gone through a similar process. Does it go smooth, is is awful, good, etc. Any information is helpful. Thanks. ...

I am beginning to think it's better to work for a small company than a big MTSO. So many of the comments on here are really not in favor of the "big boys." I'm sure it's partly old employees that dislike the company, but there seems to be less "drama" about the smaller companies. I would LOVE to find a small company that uses the Emdat Inscribe platform. Thoughts, ideas on the subject or tips on smaller companies who actually pay? ...

So tired of the "Big" MTSO. Can anyone recommend a smaller company? I'm not really trained to do anything but MT and hate to give up working at home, but I'm probably considered poverty level now with what little I make. There must be some smaller companies around, but I can't find them. ...

work there? I am always hesitant about small companies having enough work. They seem nice. ...

I can't believe the management dumped more MTs. One week they fired 7 MTs and we were asked to work extra even though usually we run out of work. Sounds like mismanagement is still the TTS way of doing things. Wonder if the same owner and supervisors are there? Anybody know? ...

I am wondering what the pros and cons are for working for a smaller company versus a larger one? I work for a small company and this is the only one I have worked for, but find myself lately wondering if I need to move on as I am afraid that my skills I learned may be deteriorating and there has been such a lack of communication. I realize that every place is different, but I need some opinions from others that have been in the field longer than myself. Thanks. ...

7 cents a line for independent contracting and for radiology? What is going on with this business? The hospitals at least treated us with hourly wages and health benefits. Now what gives? For years we fought in-house over knowing that you cannot treat radiology the same and line count it the same either, yet you work just as hard. Now, 7 cents without taking out taxes? Every hospital I know has no transcription radiology department any more anyway, so may ...

I am looking for a smaller company that needs help with private practice transcription. Does anybody know of one that needs help? I can't find anything when I search. I am currently going part-time at a large company to get them off of my back about how long I am glued to the keyboard and foot pedal and how much work I do per hour. I have over 14 years of experience and I am good at what I do. I want to work for a company that will appreciate that and not hound ...

They did the right thing for their employees. I am happy to call myself a KS MT! ...

Does anyone know anything about this company? Do they pay on time? ...

What is the deal with this company. They put an ad out like they are desperate for help and don't even respond either way? Is it a joke or for real? ...

Anyone know anything about Keystrokes whether they are a good company or not? ...

I'm looking into applying to this company. Can a current employee tell me which of their various platforms are true word-based? They list meditech, Chartnet, powerscribe, allscripts, scribe. I also understand that they just bought out 2 other companies that may include multiple other platforms. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ...

KS seems to be getting lower and lower in the popularity with emplooyees test. I worked for them once but left for the reasons everyone is talking about. There was no communication. The owner was never truthful and everyone is afraid of her because of her horrible temper tantrums. The accounts are overstaffed - you might get put on another account but it will be overstaffed too. The only accounts that are not overstaffed are the terrible ones that no one wants to work on and it is imp ...

Keystrokes just bought the company I work for. Are all small companies being sold? - Ex-MQ

Being sold? Many have been. That's why we have Transend and MQ! - anon
