foot pedals
foot pedal used w/ DocQScribe is not compatible w/ Express Scribe. I had to buy new foot pedal for use w/DocQscribe several years ago.
Me too! Got 3 foot pedals under my desk - lots of fun!!

When did KS stop supplying foot pedals?
I was hired by KS in early September. I was immediately sent an email with attachements of docs that I had to complete and return. I immediately completed it and faxed it back in. I got an email acknowledging that my paperwork had been received.
Six weeks went by without a word from ANYONE. I emailed the person who initially emailed me the pwrk. I also emailed the recruiter. Three days went by without a word from either. Finally, after another week and a few days, I was contacted by the TL and an IT person and a foot pedal was sent.
When you hire people, there is no acceptable reason for weeks to go by without any sort of contact. I hope that you guys have since gotten yourselves together. I quit shortly after being hired.
And yes as long as the different software and foot pedals are compatible. nm

Foot pedals needed for testing with Amphion?
I don't have a foot pedal for my computer. I have one that went with my transcription machine in the past but I suppose that's a whole different thing. I want to test for Amphion and I wondered if anybody has taken their test and knows if the pedal was needed?
Infinity makes the majority of the foot pedals, so to
ask if an Infinity pedal will work is too general of a question. Do you need game port, serial port, USB, 9 pin, 15 pin, etc. They can be configured different ways so just because it is an Infinity doesn't mean it will work.
I use an Infinity pedal but it is specially configured to be compatible with only DVI.
I posted about halfway down this page about foot pedals
and how I get them to work for online tests usually. The heading of the post is foot pedal. Hope it helps.
I have two platforms on mine. I just have to change foot pedals when I switch from one to the other.
trying to import DQS expander to Shorthand (sm)
What file do I look for and where/how do I find it? Step by step instructions would be nice. Thank you. :-)
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.
Shorthand is a very easy expander program to import dictionaries into.
Other than that, I agree with most of what you said about Spheris. I didn't care for them either. They weren't completely horrible, but I was on three different accounts in less than three weeks because they kept running out of work on my primary. I couldn't keep all those account specs straight and was off of QA after a week. The accounts were serious ESL, and the reports were ultra short. I couldn't make any money with them either. I put my resume out on the MTStars database and accepted a parttime IC position with a small MTSO. I made three times as much there per month versus what I made at Spheris.
Can you file a work comp claim
If you are an employee, you can file a worker's compensation claim, and the company has to follow the rules of the state the insurance company would consider jurisdiction. As a former workers' compensation claim handler, MQ is legally bound to have your claim handled wihtout any issues. If you have issues you have the right to go to the state workers' compensation board for assistance.
No, I applied, but cannot get the test file to work.
I tried calling but I cant get through to anybody. The instructions say to leave a message, but I dont even get voicemail. Too bad. Sounded like a really nice job.
I can't get my foot pedal to work
Any suggestions on how to make it work?
How do I get my foot pedal to work?
Several potential employers have sent wave files. I downloaded them, opened them with media player but my foot pedal does not recognize the file. VERY hard to transcribe by starting and stoping the recording manually....no time for that.
Any helpful insight would be appreciated. I've contaced the companies for help, but really not helping. 
I have this downloaded, but can't see to get the foot pedal to work. lol nm

thx, hope the foot pedal will work oh boy nm

I meant foot pedal wouldnt work. nm

I would not work for OSI because their online transcription test was so cumbersome w/o foot pedal
It took me 15 minutes to transcribe 30 seconds of dictation because so much time was wasted rewinding and fast forwarding with the mouse. I did not want to work for a company that could not even figure out to make the online test reasonable.
The file to save is the SPF file.
Wav pedals
Could someone explain to me the mystery of the wavpedal? I have three right here, and none of them work on the same platform - one works for one but not another, and so on. they all look exactly the same and have no identifiable information printed anywhere on them. These came from Transcriptiongear. I would like to unload a couple of these, but have no idea how to advertise them or even tell someone what they are to give them away. HELP!
No pedals given at SS
SS does not provide pedals. Maybe they used to.
I have decided to keep their pedals
until they call me asking for them back (if they even do that). I do not understand how companies like this stay in business. Their loss! Thanks again.
I would keep the pedals for now and move on. If they are too busy sm
to get you set up to work, they are probably too busy to want their pedals returned. At least that way, if you keep them, you will have something for your 2 months of sitting around waiting!
Keep the pedals, get another job. If they want the pedal back,

Infinity makes 99% of the pedals anyway. I used a DVI
pedal when I worked on Chartscript, but I don't work on it with KS.
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
sounds like SoftScript. I have some of their pedals too. Never wanted them back. Actually, sm
they were sent to me BEFORE I accepted a position from them.
Not if you search for comments. Also need your own StartStop pedal & the software, but some pedals

I have 3 pedals hooked up under my desk! :) They're not the problem. Software

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)
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?
test file.....
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?
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.
File your tax return based (sm)
on the pay you received and attach a note explaining that the company failed to pay you a portion the pay indicated on the form.
You can file a complaint online at www.bbb.org
