I'm sorry, but I usually download 3 jobs to start, then...sm

In Reply to: Amphion - looking

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!!!

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. 


 


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.
TransHealth has some that start the next month after you start work. nm

Download the Demos first and try them out...

Shorthand:

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.
Cherrypicking is when you work from a pool of jobs and being able to reject the worst jobs to those
,
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.
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. 


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.
Monster Jobs and Career Builder usually have a few path jobs. nm

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.  


 


Download Crap Cleaner free
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.

Download Express Scribe.....it's free

DocShuttle/Bytescribe has a free download

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.
Can you download Express Scribe and play the file thru there? nm
s
Don't think any do except for those in-house jobs. Some QA jobs are paid hourly. nm

They didn't take our jobs, QT gave them our jobs. The account is now
back in the hands of US MTs, or will be in just a couple of weeks.  
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.
Anybody know of any good line counting software that is free to download?

TIA


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.
If you have an Infinity pedal, you can pull the files in thru Express Scribe, (free download) and

Are MTs that are looking for jobs finding good jobs right now with everyone looking or is it
getting more difficult to find a good job.  I am most interested in jobs for experienced MTs with more than 10 years service.  I wonder if it is better to put a resume on or just keeping applying or what is the best way to go about this.
Look at all the jobs on the jobs boards.
You can find a job and won't have to apply for unemployment. You would be surprised how many companies need qualified MTs! Go get 'em and get 'em now!

Don't wait until the 11th hour. Too many needs to put your hat in the unemployment slot.

What they lost is our gain.

Ok. When will you start?

When do you start?
When were you hired and when do you start. Curious about how long it takes to get started.
when did you start??
Lots of inconsistencies here, when did you start?
DEFINITELY start looking!! nm

I'd start looking sm

for something else if I were you.  There are plenty of jobs on the job board.  It wouldn't hurt to start applying.


 


Just my opinion.


they start at 0.065, not 0.06
nm
What do they start at on ASR (VR) nm
x
7.5 cpl to start

Oh yes, when do I start having fun?
We have had cable for some months with Charter. I had AT&T and got tired of paying for this and that, too much. My husband could be sold a swamp in Florida- listed to the folks at Charter, new and improved. We got internet and land phone in day before New Years and now have had them over here probably a total of 5 or 6 times since then. Do not even try calling anyone with their company- no service place uses India- I called the other day and some person named American name kept going over something I was not talking about - 3times and I finally asked are you in India. I said my question is....... what word in that sentence do you not know? I finally frustrated hung up. Not a good service place AFTER you get.
I would start looking for new job...
Just left a company who docked me pay because of not changing demographics in program (not Word). This was after working there a year, getting calls early in the am to do stats and other fun things. If you smell smoke, there is usually a fire.
where do I start?sm
I worked for them up until February of this year. Management was unapproachable, at best. Paychecks ran a few days late every paycycle and were frequently inaccurate in the line counts.

I do understand that a lot of the people causing all of the hub-bub there are now gone, and I have a friend working there who is pretty happy that she made the transition. I guess everyone's experience will be different.

Start with an A?
nm
I think they start at 7 or 8
