ago, and I have noticed changes in the templates on a couple of my accounts, so I would say that soon more and more accounts will be done by wav files. I probably still won't give up my unlimited LD, but it would be nice for traveling, not to have to lug my Cphone around and worry about LD costs.

no more voice file test
just a written from what I understand, lots of complaints about the quality of their test files so they 'shelved' it. I'm happy there, takes 2 weeks to get started, I don't think they make you take a physical any more, but still the background check which is almost standard now due to identify theft - - but the supervisor is good, flexibility when you need it. I'm happy, they work for me.
I tested. She insisted that she sent a voice file sm
and she sent me an .EXE file which I researched and when I told her what the problem was she told me (in all caps - like all of her emails) that NO! THAT WASNT THE PROBLEM.
Well, duh, lady, I found it all over the internet and I KNOW what the problem was. Then she insinuated that I was not who I said I was. I wanted to tell her a thing or two about my years in the business (more than she probably is old) but I decided I would NOT stoop to her level.
I was hoping she would hire me though so I could tell her to shove it.
typing off of a written copy instead of a voice file.

I think the voice file is the next step. As far as the copy typing, sm
I didn't do as well as I thought I would either. That not being able to back up more than a word kinda sucks. Still, it was fun. I guess I need to get out more - ha.
I just found the downloaded voice file and used my Start-Stop

I have. I had to fiddle with the settings to get the program to recognize the foot pedal. (sm)
I was initially afraid of doing that, for fear it would screw up my foot pedal for DocQscribe, but it didn't. I found a wizard that set the foot pedal to work. Hope this info helps!
any company bayscribe internet based program?
?
Your foot pedal & phones are plugged into your tower like with any other program. Works just fine

And just how long did it take you to train it to just your voice? Then multiply that x 300 sm
or so voices/accents such as at a teaching hospital. I have a friend who uses Dragon Medical and she now can achieve great speed, and it has saved her hands, but it took her TWO YEARS.
I am kind of on the fence about this whole thing. No matter what we think/feel/etc., VR is not going away. I have some some VR, and most of it is not even close to as bad as the post by the OP, which obviously was an exaggeration, but it certainly is not a money maker for me. I would sit there listening, realizing I could type it myself a lot faster.
I am glad you have it working for you. Good luck.
Mine took about that long and the pedal and stuff came in about that time frame sm
BUT I live in the God-forsaken WILDERNESS! By the time the bills show up here they are already late. Only thing I ever get on time is my paycheck.
How long does it take to hear from OSI mentor program.
I applied August 2nd and have not heard anything. Is this a bad sign?
Thanks
I use my own foot pedal. It isn't an EMDAT pedal either, just a regular WAV pedal. nm

It took 4 days after it shipped to arrive....
Tower, monitor, screen, foot pedal, headphone, etc., in 2 large boxes. I didn't know FedEx ground delivered past 5 p.m., but mine showed up about 8 p.m. last night.
Congratulations :-)
May be set on incorrect file setting? type of file??
If you are using, for instance, Express Scribe to listen/transcribe, there are about 10 or so types of setting for the file you use, wav, mp3 etc. If so, go to the top of screen, look for setting. I just click all of them.
You decided their transcription must be bad because her headset was? sm
That doesn't make any sense.
C-Phone headset programming
I am having a time with my dictaphone C-phone. Does anyone know how to program a headset?
Only difference I've noticed is the DVI vs non-DVI pedal. Otherwise, regular Infinity pedal shoul

They use the StartStop software&pedal, but your own pedal might be compatible. Very

The file to save is the SPF file.
Does the MQ DQS program contain the ShortCuts program, or do I need to buy it? nm

DQS is not a "Medquist" program, it is a program used by MQ. (nm)

A .wma file is sm
Windows media player and so far as I know, you can't play it with anything other than that. I know that ExpresScribe doesn't play those either.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. I know you would not be testing unless you needed a job and it would be really nice if companies understood that we don't have time to futz endlessly with these things!
you can't file unless sm
you've been officially laid off by your employer... if you are employee status that is
The BBB has a file on them
as thick as the Manhattan telephone directory.
Here is the file I saw on the FTP..
Did anyone else get this file when they logged on to the FTP? Titled Really..
Hon', you really need to get your issues straightened out with respect to giving out the correct usernames/passwords (I've seen two different sets so far), then making sure the promised files are actually there (I'm seeing nothing but empty directory(ies) here).
Sounds like a headache from the get-go for any potential MTs to take on. (...and, please, get something more professional that toocuteembroidery)
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
WC is for employees. An IC cannot file
a work comp claim.
You can file a complaint with the
distrinct attorney in the city in which they are located and this should put an end to this nonsense. Rubber checks are illegal all over the country. Then file a case in small claim court and include ALL expenses you incurred from late charges, etc., as a result of this check
I don't keep resumes on file, so...
I often get people who send their resume in multiple times in response to different job postings. That being said, if the applicant doesn't have the qualifications listed in the ad, their resume goes straight to the recycle bin without a response.
need a Schedule C to file that on....sm
If they didn't take out taxes and you earned more than $600, you would fill out a Schedule C. If they took out taxes or if you worked for others who did take out taxes, they'd give you a W2-W4 and you'd fill out a 1040 or 1040A.
HTH (hope that helps) 
How do you file a complaint in CA?
Who would you file a complaint with if the company who is not paying is in California? The California Labor Board, Attorney General's office, and Better Business Bureau?
file a complaint with the
Better Business Bureau in your area as well as the area the owner of the MT company lives. This does not take but a few minutes of your time. Consider calling the police to ask what can do? It is illegal to bounce checks........ Good luck!
Save the file...
To say they belonged to MQ would be like saying you can't take your phone numbers out of your cell phone if you decide to change services - or save your bookmarks in IE and use them in Firefox.
When do you file for unemployment?
My job has not had any work for 2 weeks now. If there is no work, can you file unemployment? Or do I wait until they let me go and then file?
Thanks
Wav file problems
I would first try rebooting your computer to see if that solves the problem. Sometimes it is a simple reboot to fix things. I would then try to play them again and if they still don't work then see if they work in another sound program like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer. What wav player are you using?
I have the file names...
... on my computer. Your mileage may vary. Here are mine:
C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013user.aco
and
C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013userdic.tlx
If I'm not mistaken, user.aco is your expansion file, and userdic.tlx includes any entries you may have added to the dictionary during spell-check.
So if you search your entire hard drive for files named user.aco and userdic.tlx, you should be able to see where they are hiding in both installations of DQS, and you can copy the larger files (the one with all your expansions and dictionary entries in them) to the locations where the smaller files reside.
Clear as mud?

You need to save it to your desktop or somewhere and then open it using YOUR file player, whatever that might be, Express Scribe or whatever. Right click on the saved file and look for open with
If you file a form with the IRS
as an IC and think you should be classified as an employee, and they determine you have been an employee, are there tax/penalty obligations for the IC?
They definitely rip you off with your line count. Figured this out long ago and quit long ago

I really just wondered how Keystrokes got my e-mail, and it finally occurred to me it would be AHDI. It was a nice ad, no doubt about it. Maybe when I am in the market I'll give them a call.
Thanks.
Could it be done in an Excel file and attached?
I have to send an Excel log with my secondary account, and I created a column with a formula that sums up my line count so I don't have to add it up. I keep it open while I'm transcribing and toggle over and record the information rather than writing it down, then at the end of the day I just have to delete the unused cells, highlight my totals, then attach it to an email. Seems like that would work well for what you're describing.
BB-- any luck with that expansion file? nm

using your own macros expander file
I am looking for a part-time job and have a huge ShortHand file which I do not want to rebuild. Which companies will allow you to use your own macro expander? Thanks!
Transcribing Test File
I have a test file sent to me on IBackup. When I go to open the file it wants to go to Windows Media Player. Does anyone know how I get it to open in Express Scribe? Thanks in advance! Shelly
Or you could right click and file and "open with"..
and then nselect Express Scribe.
