Could someone please explain to me how using the mouse
Posted By: JJ on 2009-07-20
In Reply to: I wanted to tell person who contacted me via email - VR person
in VR works? If you have to edit something, you have to take your hand off the mouse and fix with keystrokes? I have seen this a lot people discussing the use of a mouse with VR, but I don't quite understand it. Please explain. Thank you kindly! And keep up the good work!

Do NOT use your mouse, and you can do this 2!
Seriously..scan ahead..format, etc. You can do it. It just takes practice.
Said it before, here again, I use my mouse with VR
and have never used the hot keys and I get well over 300 lph, sometimes as much as 500, 600 and the like. I can scan ahead but you do not have to put the mouse down in order to do well.
With VR always use the mouse
I told someone else on here that have never used the hot keys. Been doing this tooooo long to change now and my speed is as fast as the audio will take me. Glad you tried the mouse.
Mouse and VR
You've got a good attitude! Using shortcut keys and avoiding the mouse is a big part of productivity with VR. In editing, the longer your hand(s) is away from the keyboard the less productive you'll be. I was a mouse fanatic too, but after I learned a few keyboard shortcuts I was hooked. It really does increase your line count. I'm still trying to master all the shortcuts with our program, and I'm pretty confident I'm 90% there. I'm sure you'll do fine with them. It really doesn't take long to get rid of the mouse fix. Good luck!
Avoid mouse if possible
If your software gives you the option of using keyboard commands instead of picking up your hands to use the mouse, use them. Avoid doing anything that takes your hands off the keyboard and your eyes off the screen if at all possible. But it can be helpful to write down your new shortcuts and tape the list to your monitor until you can remember them. If you have internet, make use of OneLook Dictionary. Many common medical phrases are in there as well as single-word entries. It might be quicker than using even a specialty book.
Just push tab instead of using mouse. NM

To Minnie Mouse
Minnie, I am with MDI-MD. No, I am not nor have I ever been, management. I am just a lowly MD and have been one for decades. I appreciate this company because it pays me well, knows how to run a company and I love my accounts.
Me to, I sit there with 1 hand on the mouse and the other on the
keyboard, reading along. When a correction is necessary, I put the cursor in that spot and make the correction and read on.
I never use shortcuts and I cannot imagine that this would speed me up.
Correction to Minnie Mouse
Whoops, I meant to say lowly MT, not lowly MD. (That wouldn't be me, I hated science.) I was up nearly all night last night working. No work shortage here. Anyway, sorry I made an error in typing, hope the grammar/typing cops don't launch their grenades at me. :)
Have yet to turn loose of the mouse
On on end, makes no difference about using hot keys or not, most really good, very few errors to change but so long on the mouse, will just stay.
Using mouse versus key controls
From discussion below with WMXers using ASR, I decided I didn't have anything to lose trying the mouse since using key controls isn't upping my speed. Much to my very pleasant surprise, I averaged 50 lph more than my usual (almost 500 extra lines today). It was hard to use it at first, but so much easier to navigate through the reports. I didn't use it for highlighting, just navigation to what needed correcting. Hopefully the numbers will go up as I become more proficient with the mouse. I'm glad I tried it.
I use both a wireless mouse and keyboard
and love it! I've used both the Microsoft 7000 wireless keyboard and mouse as well as the Logitech wave wireless keyboard and have no problems with either one keeping up with fast keystrokes.
We? We?? You gotta mouse in your pocket?

Was told starting VR HAD to use the mouse
I had never used the mouse before since starting this job in the 70s so shock city when told had to use. Ok, got to where I could use that and then outsourced to a company from the hospital where I was trained and then told NOT to use the mouse; however having said that I just continued on with the mouse. Does not slow me down at all, able to keep up with the work as fast as I can get the audio to go so all this yah-yah about using these keys, don’t know what all the hype is about. When people say you can work faster, not in my case.
I'm a skinny well-paid whiner and don't use a mouse.

try holding cntr down and using mouse scroll.

Keyboard. Using the mouse is too hard on my hands. nm

Trying to see bright side - I am bad about using mouse - working very (sm)
hard today on starting to break the habit. I took the little class thing on increasing our skills w/o mouse and do try to use a little more but now I feel I had better get my fat butt in gear on it immediately. Hopefully this will help offset the losses I am going to encounter.
I figure I will put the mouse on the left hand side to start with so I will be more conscious of whenever I read for it. Old habits die so slowly. Shoot, this old girl took forever to quit reaching up to return the carriage on the old typewriters. (Am I giving my age away?)
I have about 7 more years until retirement and I do not want to train now for another profession, don't think that would be too profitable. I want to bend like a willow in the wind and adjust to whatever comes up with this profession until then. Trying to be positive. Will paste on a smile and work,work, work on quitting using that mouse.
I have and it worked great for me using mouse controls. No prob.

it means you use the mouse to put the cursor where you want to make a correction
with keystrokes.
The other way is to use the shortcuts, a combination of keys.
It is much harder on the wrist to constanly use the mouse to jump around the report to edit, rather

Please explain what that should tell me.
I'm thinking of applying with Spheris. I also know someone who works for Transcend and was offered a job with Spheris. I don't want either of us to make a mistake.
right - have tried to explain this before and
Being paid twice a month will have an average period of 15 days on each check (usually averages 11 working days if you work 5 days a week). Being paid every 2 weeks will have 14 days on each check (10 working days if you work 5 days a week). At the end of the year your total gross for the year would be the same either way, you would just either get 26 checks a year or 24 fatter ones.
Can you explain that, please? nm

pls explain
I have all but been hired by Amphion, and would like to know why I should not take a job with them before I quit my current job.
let me explain
They had a position 2nd shift but needed this person to do 1-2 dys 3rd shift as well. I was hesitant about this but was considering it and told them so. They SD they knew someone who liked 3rd shift and they were going to see if they could get that person to do the 3rd shift hrs and give me just 2nd shift hrs. When I did not hear from them re this job for a few days I emailed and she told me - oh, we hired someone who would do the 2nd & 3rd shift hrs.
Did not bother to let me know at any point on their own that they'd decided to hire someone else - I had to contact them. SHE offered to make this adjustment in order to accommodate me, I did not ask and had even sd that I probably cd do the 3rd.
It was just all to reminiscent of irresponsible mgmt for me.
Please explain????
I'm looking at an ad for a Transcriptionist and it says full-time position in subspeciality group medical/surgical practice. Could you help me out and tell me what kind of practice this might be. Thanks so much!!
Can someone explain this to me, please?
What is the point of a company telling you that you are hired and giving you a start date, but then you have to remind them to get the materials to you in order to begin working? This just happened to me for the first time in my career. I am sitting here waiting for the second day now. Is this a sign that if they cannot even get me into their system to work that they are probably unorganized and uncaring? I already e-mailed them and am awaiting a response. Not sure what else to do! I am not used to being treated this way. 
please explain this
there are jobs posted on the job board with the posted by name and then once you click to get more info several of them say contact place is Webmedx. Is Webmedx like a chain??
Please explain DD because when I was there
I had DD and pay dates were the 15th and 30th but my check never made it to the bank until a week later - sometimes more. I always thought DD was a faster way to deposit??
Could you please explain why...
I am the only one you come back at. The 2 posts above mine are derogatory, but it is only me you accuse of stirring things up. I once worked at QT but I do not now. I did not ask any questions about pay or whatever.
You're wrong, ha ha.....how old are you???
Could you please explain this...sm
Just getting ready to start applying for some escription work, but now I am confused as to how it works. Thanks for any details you can offer on this pay scenario. 
Please explain then
Why -- when I had questions the ops manager seemed to be in the dark, never gave me straightforward answers but the runaround. Can you explain that one please?
What I would do is to explain to her that sm
you do not know of anyone and leave it at that. If she keeps asking, let her know that you have a policy against referring anyone anywhere so as not to get caught in the middle and you do not compromise on that for anyone. If that doesn't work, tell her that she is out of line and not to contact you. Try tactful twice and if she is dumb-as-a-post after that, be blunt :)
Can you explain?
How can you cross one of the QA people?
Well then explain....
Let us all in on it.
You don't have to explain anything
Some people just don't have anything nice to say and like to judge others. Good luck with your situation.
Let me explain...sm
I was not in any way talking about a typo at all...just saying that if you have the correct spelling of the company name, then you'll have success in getting past posts to come up on the search function.
There are a lot of posts on DR in the past few months, they should come up if you try again with the correct spelling.
Let me explain a bit...
Yes, you can discuss any topic you like for as long as you like within reason. However, there has been a trend on this board with attacks directed towards TT. We are not affiliated or sponsored by TT, so you can be assured we're not simply taking their side as some have nicely put it. In monitoring these threads we have become aware of the fact that all of these negative threads have been started by 1 poster. The basis of our closing these threads or removing these threads entirely is not on the direct question at hand. Merely stating that your deposit is later than usual, as you usually get it earlier than payday, is fine. These threads have gone beyond that point and made such accusations as the company is going out of business, that they're going bankrupt, etc., etc. These are all accusations that are completely outrageous and are simply an attempt to either get posters fighting or attack the company itself.
As well, these threads have ALL spiraled out of control to be completely off the subject at hand and turned into name-calling, abusive battles, which will be deleted regardless of what you're posting about.
I personally very nicely shut some down yesterday, and the same poster came back on today with more of the same. Certainly, we could delete those immediately rather than see where the conversation might be, but that would be a little higher on the censorship scale.
Why? Please explain. nm.

can you explain what you mean pls?
Not sure what you mean by *doesn't follow through on anything.*
Thanks.
Someone please explain this to me..
Cardioscribes is supposedly so busy that they do not have time to respond to prospects, but yet they just posted another ad on the Job Seekers forum. LA dee da dee da
Can someone explain to me why there are
to keeping MT jobs in the U.S. I did a search/find and came across a company who swears they are dedicated to keeping jobs in the US - no offshore need apply. ????
http://www.bpoindia.org/companies/index-All.shtml
Not that I have to explain
myself to you I will respond. I decided to join Iridium 4 weeks after I was contacted by them. I also was told that Iridium outsourced, which was the reason for my original post. I would never work for a company that outsourced and I wasn't going to jump ship before I had some information. I worked on the account for 8 years at my previous employer, and like most professionals give notice of their intention to leave. I left my previous employer with the understanding I would be transcribing the same dictators, which has NOT happened. I have one, and that decision came from the account administration because it was the DOCTOR's choice. Do you feel shafted by everyone that started working after you because you were there first, or do you just have something against me? So much for the teamwork I keep hearing about, and how great everyone is. Maybe next time you'll reveal your true identity so I can respond to you directly.
Can somebody explain this to me?
If, according to SO many MT companies, there aren't enough 'domestic' transcriptionists to take care of all of the work here in the US, why am I always effing out of work?
Three companies, three jobs at the same time - and all through November, up until this very moment - there is NO work! I flex my rear off, and I'm still scraping by to make my needed number of lines.
How can this be, if there's such a shortage of US MTs?
Please, someone, tell me how.
WHY ARE THEY OVER? How did it come to this? Please explain, nm
nm
can you explain further please
what do you mean it's official? what have you been notified of? I am missing it somehow.
Can you explain to me what 9/4 is? I
have never read that phrase and I have 11 years' experience. Is this straight type/VR line rates or something? ...and what does the averaged out line thing mean as well that other people are saying on here? I just want to understand.
Being paid 9 is about as good as it gets these days for IC. The good ole days are gone.
How to explain s/m
Those who are doing well are those who will not tolerate being treated like slave labor. After nearly 50 years in the business I was ready to retire but if I should want to go back to work (which I don't) I would get a job and I would do well.
How can I explain this?
If you are admitted to the hospital through the ER or other means, a record is created. After you come home, you have the right to ask the hospital for your record. Once you obtain that record, you are free to let anyone of your choosing to review it. And guess what? There is no problem with legality because you handed it off to the dog catcher if you wanted to. Get it?
please explain
How could you work 6 days a week, 10 or more hours a day if you were out of work? Doesn't add up.
