Great program and has uninstall program for free. Make sure you uncheck the MS Word box cleaner or it will get rid of your normal settings. Otherwise, best free program ever.

I think it's a free trial download, then $99.00
xx
You can download a free 30 day trial and KS may
be able to give you a license # so you don't need to purchase it.
I don't know if you can convert Meditech, but you can convert other Expanders to be used in ShortHand.
Download Express Scribe.....it's free
xx
DocShuttle/Bytescribe has a free download
nm
You can download a free trial version of (sm)
Slycount. I have used it for a long time and find that it is very accurate.
Anybody know of any good line counting software that is free to download?
TIA
If you have an Infinity pedal, you can pull the files in thru Express Scribe, (free download) and

if someone puts up with crap for 5 years... they deserve the crap!! good grief... grow a set and get
xx
Free enterprise. You are free to re-educate and retrain, as well!!!!
What's the complaint?!
Free sure. There are free on-line fax
services, in fact I used one last week. Most do have limits on how often you can use and how many pages though. You obviously would have to scan pages into a document, but maybe she doesn't have a scanner either.
She could have mailed paperwork back.
DQS Download - sm
From what I understand, we are to just log in and it will prompt us to download the update....so just follow the instructions.
Download the Demos first and try them out...

Shorthand:
http://pcshorthand.com/
They download 1 job at a time.

I have dial up, you download? how
Where are you downloading from and to where, hardrive. I would like to do this also, as I don't have to can get DSL . Can reply here or email.
Thank you for responding! Do we buy it or download it?

They use Chartscript and DVI to download
work. You can work in Word or WP5.1, at least for now.
if from PCshorthand.com, should be okay to download.
nm
KS uses Shorthand. You can download
a free trial from their website and KS may give you a license key so you don't have to pay for it. Meditech is horrible, but I typed in Word and then copy/pasted into MediTech. I know lots of MTs who do the same thing.
What do ya'll think about that download
Now my computer is acting funny.
I'm sorry, but I usually download 3 jobs to start, then...sm
as I complete one, another one begins to download, so essentially I have 3 jobs downloaded most of the time, except for right now, which I have NONE!!!
Tried to e-mail but it bounced. You download from
a secure site, usually via an FTP site that your company has setup. You download to a folder on your hard drive, the same as if you were downloading music or a program. You then use a foot pedal connected to your computer that is compatible with the software program to play the files. There are still lots of companies who for some reason have not converted to digital files though, or require you to be type into their system live.
usually, for the online tests, you can download...
the voice file into a file on your computer, then download into Express Scribe player (free online), so you can use your foot pedal instead of the keyboard.
Using FTP download/upload Transfer (sm)
If a company uses FTP download/upload transfer method does that pretty much mean whatever is downloaded to you it has to be done at the end of the day and if you desire extra work you have to ask for it to be downloaded? I prefer to sign on and get work without having to call the office and ask. Would appreciate any info.
That would be when you first log on, after that they download while typing. No wait.

Not really...I know you can download Emdat off the internet sm
(just Google it) but I don't think you can get in without a password. I've never used it and I have only worked at MQ, also. I'm a little discouraged, as I am very anxious to move away from MQ and haven't heard anything. How much experience do you have?
I AM happy for you, though. It has to be better than the Q right now.
You can uninstall SP3 and then block the download sm
The removal part is under the same section of the control panel where you uninstall programs. I think you have to click something at the top that says to show updates, then scroll through to find the update. I could not connect to the VPN my company uses when I downloaded SP3 and had to uninstall it. I also downloaded a tool from Microsoft that blocks the auto-update feature for SP3 for a year. If MS is offering a tool to block it, then you know there have to be problems with it. Here's the link if anyone wants it.

I did download express scribe but sm
I may be doing something wrong. I can't open this file in anything but windows media and it goes directly to windows media. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
BTW, why did you leave and do they pay on time?
Thanks
Download the latest version of
Adobe Reader 9.1, it's free.
If the questionnaire you have to fill out, is given by the company, ask them what's wrong.
you can download typewriter/keyboard sm
sounds for free from the internet. I had to do that because it also helps me by hearing the typos. You can turn the sounds of the keyboard up or down but it doesn't affect the sound of your dictator. I think its called Sound Pilot.
The download speed is not consistent, can be as slow as
dial-up at times. I had it for a year so I know. Satellite is also not secure, so if company is 100% compliant with HIPAA satellite would not be allowed.
I had lots of problems with my satellite, though I was never without for more than a day. Customer service was the absolute pits. They have since updated some of their equipment that is suppposed to eliminate some of the issues.
Can you download Express Scribe and play the file thru there? nm
s
Are there any companies that I would download voice files and then send back but would be able to
transcribe on the move so I can travel but not use all my vacation time? I wish I had paid attention earlier this year..but I didn't know I'd ever be in the position to need to do this.
It was a test for a company and I have no clue if you had to download drivers. I would not care to
do that to take a test.
I have dial-up and make money. I download my work and I can start transcribing
as soon as the first report has downloaded. Once I download I disconnect, do my work, then connect and send my completed work. I usually start my download in the morning then go take my shower, feed all the animals, grab myself something to drink and I'm ready to go. Once the work is downloaded what type of connection you have doesn't matter.
Sure it is safe to post your resume on the net, provided it is a reputable site. I would not just post it anywhere, but post it on the job boards here and other reputable sites. Most sites have some type of safeguards in place so that you have to have registered with the site and/or paid a usage fee to view information like addresses and phone numbers, so that not just anyone can view the information.
Another option may be an account that has C-phone or similar accounts, where you aren't downloading, but dialing directly into the system.
Crap!
Most hospitals don't know anything about the option of using overseas MTs. The MTSOs who offshore try to sell the hospitals on it by glorifying the savings. The MTSO benefits because they earn a higher profit margin.
You say that most MTSOs only send out work that their US MTs cannot do?????? Do you hear yourself? If an MTSO has an excess of work that their current staff is unable to complete in a timely manner, all they have to do is hire more US MTs. There is no excuse of offshoring. MTSO offshore because they choose to...bottom line. This gives them more money to line their pockets with.
I have worked as an Editor for a company who offshores. The quality of the work was laughable. I absolutely could not believe my eyes. The work that the overseas MTs produced is not wort the half a penny per line that the MTSOs pay them.
Crap. Yes with an E :) nm
,
They are Crap
They dont have any management skills, they are loosing every one these days. SO CRAPY ..
I don't think of them as crap
I think of them as human beings who provide bread and butter for me and for my family.
You know what - they do look like crap
The few I've seen that have been computer generated look utterly different than the way we typed 'em. Actually its pretty infuriating that all the things that QA picked at us about have just been thrown out the window along with our jobs. Obviously the facility never gave a hoot about consistent report format, BOS rules, etc. Its demoralizing that we worked so hard to make those reports perfect and now the facility gladly accepts messy garbage from a computer in order not to pay us, and the heck with patient care and accuracy. The computer won't save their butts when they say the wrong thing in a report - the error will just stand as dictated. I hope they enjoy presenting those documents in court for all the lawsuits they'll get down the road - and I'm sure it'll cost them more in court costs than it did to pay us.
Why is it that they'd rather pay ANYBODY - IT people, lawyers, wronged patients, etc. than to pay an MT?
Vianeta = Crap

I don't buy the $33+ an hour crap.

A lot of the crap schools do
take that as truth. I know I certainly did not. There are schools that cannot get you a foot in the door, let alone promise that you can make those amounts.
Then there are schools like Career Step who have information about grads who did/do make that amount...but they don't promise it and have never promised that their grads would make that wage.
It is very possible, but for a lot of us, it's not. We cannot really blame that on the schools. We need to blame ourselves and the companies for the the 5-7 cents a line that we settle for because, like all families, we need to feed our children and pay our bills.
I see it with colleges. You can make this much in this field, you can make that much in that field. It all depends on where you work, how productive you are, what state you are in, tons of factors. Same is true with MT, too many factors.
Nothing is ever promised, especially in this line of work.
I am just happy to have a job that I love, that I am able to have the opportunity to stay at home with my young daughter, have deductions come tax season.
Hey, I made more waitressing than I did doing transcription my first year, but does that mean I want to go back to waitressing? Not a chance. I could have made more at McDonalds, in fact, but do I want to deal with that crap? Not really.
I am thrilled about being an MT and would not trade it for the world and certainly didn't buy into the get rich scheme that a lot of those schools throw our way.
It's a shame that schools have to use that as a way to get people to attend, but it works..and let me tell you, I have plenty of people that have never ever done transcription that tell me what a cake job my job is, you've all heard it before.. I CAN DO THAT, ALL YOU DO IS TYPE
...and THOSE are the people that get backed into the corner by these schools thinkin that this is going to be something that they just type and can throw out lines like crazy and make that $40,000 a year....because we all know, MT is EASY... psshhh. Those schools should have to provide proof and stats.
A crap shoot
Trust nothing from Spheris. You could luck out and get a decent manager and account, but it's a crap shoot. I don't have enough time, energy, or room to describe that circus. I can't believe most of them can sleep at night. Certainly you could find a few nice people and accounts to make your life tolerable, but suffice it to say, the culture is atrocious. I don't believe I ever received a straight answer from anyone in that place about anything of an important nature, and usually, the inquiries are just blatantly ignored. They could give a rip about the quality that goes to the client which made me crazy. Everyone is managed en masse. The platform I worked on was friendly. I can say that.
Sorry, but would not put up with that crap for any amount of $$$
nm
I believe that everyone else is dumping the crap on you
That should not be allowed but I think MTs are skipping jobs. The same thing happened to me lately. I don't think it's TT management. It's just lazy MTs who don't want the bother, so they cancel the job and keep trying until they get a better one, or sign out, blaming internet problems. Maybe today will be better.
The same crap is happening to me - sm
You wouldn't be working a company based out of Chicago, would you be?
Exactly!!! the archives are crap for sure...nm
xx
Im with you. I came to TT from the MQ crap and would love...
to make it work, but I dont think it is going to happen. I have questioned a few things and feel from reading elsewhere that I have been blatantly lied to. Last week was my most frustrating. I did make line count, but 2 accts, a mix of VR and traditional, and no kids or family, so I sit and wait all day every day pretty much. My pay check makes me cry. I am taking a second job today, AAMOF. It wont pay all my bills, but Im going to try anyway.
I have not been at TT long enough to be a fave of anyone, let alone mentioning initials. How would anyone know if they have faves or if there is just way less work or the work is being done way faster?
What crap. I get so tired of someone
who says you must not be very good, are slacking, etc. when someone complains about their company. I worked for KS and there were whole weeks where there was no work on one of my accounts. They account was an overflow account only, which I wasn't told about when I was hired, and if things were slow then we didn't get any work.
Just because you are overwhelmed with work on your account, doesn't mean another account isn't slow. We have been on daily OT for months with my current company, but this week we are running out of work, most likely due to the holiday. But prior to the OT there were accounts with very little work, with other accounts having more work than there were MTs trained for the account. Just because someone doesn't have work doesn't mean they are a bad MT and I think even saying it when you don't know the facts reflects very badly on you.
ENOUGH WITH THIS ECONOMY CRAP --- sm
True, the economy has taken a whipping for the last 3 quarters or so -- recession as of last fall, less than a year, so how do you blame the continuing DECREASE in MT salary since the last 10-20 years? Or maybe figure we dumb MTs can't add or put 1+1 together. You middlemen/suits/MTSOs have been making a FORTUNE off of the back and sweat of hard-working, underpaid MTs or years and years (otherwise, you'd be in a different line of work, wouldn't you?) and you darned well know it. So stop blaming the current economy! What was your excuse 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 years ago?
Crap. I saw M-F and was going to apply. nm
