Then you can compare job #s but only if you're writing down the document ID and not the voice job ID.

I just just Ctrl+F and search the current page or next.
A net search brings up a defunct website with a 2003 date on it. Maybe not out there anymore? nm

sometimes when I do Ctrl Ctrl to put
in a new expansion nothing happens, but my existing expansions still work. Then when I get out of Extext and then back in, it works again with Ctrl Ctrl. It's strange. I thought it was just something with my computer.
Using Ctrl-I, you can get the count
for previous days by changing your PC calendar date to whichever day you want the counts for. To do this, at the lower right corner of your PC (called the system tray), right click on the time displayed. Click Adjust Date/Time and change it to the date you wish to see counts for. Go back to EXText and run your counts using Ctrl-I. Remember to change your date back to the current date.
On some O accounts you do have Ctrl I option
?
I work for TT and just tried to uset the Ctrl I sm
but got the message that I didn't have the right to view session statistics. It is a shame, because it would be nice to be able to check things like that while you're working.
When company does not allow CTRL i function to be used by its MT's.
EXText is the platform you transcribe in, but EXSpeech is the VR portion of Dictatphone EXText.
Ctrl I line count Ex-Text
No, people working on that system used to be able to see Ctrl I. I guess multiple people across the board who now are getting their line counts at ICHART site complained when they did a Ctrl I and the line count was VERY different from the ICHART site count they were told to use. Yes there can be a big discrepancy. I wonder why no one can look at Ctrl I any more? I wonder why they thought blocking it out would stop people from questioning things. I think it only made it worse. Any MT can and should use another source to count, whether it be Word, Sylcount or whatever, until they feel they are being counted fairly and equitably. If they tell you you are not getting pain for Headers and Footers you should be able to figure this out by comparing their count to yours. From 10,000 down to 8,000 is totally unacceptable and unbelievable. Good luck to anyone with this problem.
You use the Ctrl + keys to access everything in the program. Very

I thought it was because Ctrl+I gives you all of the ilne count, but since they do sm
not pay for headers or footers, the line count at the ichart site represented the subtraction of the lines for the headers and footers. I could be wrong, but I thought that was how it was explained at the time. 
Reread, I do not use the Ctrl B function, so cannot answer. Sorry!

Ctrl+I counts headers and footers, but we don't get paid for that sm
and we don't type it in, in any case. The headers and footers usually have text that is a lighter color and these are embedded headers and footers. We get paid for the regular color text. You aren't being cheated in the least. Consider, I worked for a company where they charged the MT a 65 character line for every report, although the headers and footers compromised a whopping 30 to 40 characters. On a short report, you paid the company for the privilege of transcribing it!! Embedded headers are not things we transcribe, but ARE paid for what we DO type.
This 1.236 accounts for the headers and footers, on ICD1. Different accounts have different headers or lack thereof and so it varies.
Use the Google search box for MTStars.com, not the Search box at top of page. Lots of

We could check our line counts up-to-the-minute with CTRL I inhouse n/m

Ctrl i in EXText for us MT's with TT gives a higher line count, because we do not get paid
for everything that that function shows. I-chart is as close to the exact amount of lines we get paid for than anything that we have. Ctrl i was blocked from us, but lately opened up for us to use; however, it is not what we get paid for. Hope this helps you.
TT sent out email saying CTRL i function is 7-12% higher than paid-for line counts,
so you would need to deduct 7-12% off function of CTRL I.
Per TT email regarding this subject, the headers and footers average between 7-12% of a document . . . Conversely, if you are transcribing a two to three line report/addendum, the header and footer may be as much as 50% or greater.
So, it is true that if we transcribe short reports, we are given the pleasure of transcribing almost FREE for TT !!!
This is about as clear as we MT's can get from TT regarding this line counting issue.

The date
Did you notice that the date on the postings shows 03/04? That's strange, too. Where I live, in the USA, it is still 03/03.
You do not have to put your date of birth on
an application. It is illegal for them to ask age so date of birth falls in line. If you want to just provide the month and day, that's okay. The only time you would have to give date of birth or anything age related would be after you get the job and I can't really think of a reason they would need that. They would probably find it out on your driver's license for identity purposes but other than that, I see no reason to let them have it prior. Social security number again is a sensitive issue for application purposes only. When you get the job of course you do HAVE to give it whether you are employee or IC. I just would not randomly provide them with this information until you are hired and if they don't like it, they do not have to.
Did you check the date (m)
on the ad? The one I found for them on MT stars is from 2003. May not be around anymore.
Just had not said anything to date, but getting concerned. n/m

Anybody know the exact start date of the
It's not the start date that's always the problem...sm
 If they give you a start date and not put you on 100% QA right away...OK. If they put you on 100% QA and give you guaranteed hourly minimum while you're in training, that's OK, too. But what about the ones that put you on QA until their own QA monitor (who may be required to given feedback on everything and also have to justify his/her job and sometimes nitpicks just a little too much  )...and who will not let you do more than 2-5 jobs a day until you're off of QA?
More on Excel date/time
Sounds like you don't mind doing it, but if you're curious - check your formatting.
Go to the cell in question, then use the menu: Format > Cells
Make sure the format is GENERAL then close the dialog
Then type in 5:03 (or any time with just m:ss)
Also, try to type this in: 4:63 -- see what Excel changes it to
Good luck Excelling!

When someone says it is my PAY DATE, I expect that to mean the day I am paid. sm
And like the poster above, every other place I have worked, if the pay day falls on a weekend, I got the pay the day before.
Congrats to you for being so quick to defend. I didn't attack the company. I only said I wanted to have a pay day I could count on. If you cannot understand that, then I'm sorry you have no compassion.
And yes, they have grown quickly, perhaps TOO quickly. They make promises to the clients without having the manpower to back it up. Then they do a massive overhiring and then the work dries up. It is a great cycle -- flooded with work, or begging for it.
I do not have to defend myself. I stand by what I said.
