There is a macro available that will do this for you - you can obtain it at Productivity Talk, it is one of Ed Weber's wonderful macros.

Set up a macro...
If you find a second job that requires 2 spaces, just continue to type 1 space, run the macro to create 2 spaces, and you get paid for 2 spaces while only typing 1 space.
I found a macro to do this for you.
This is the link to the entire discussion and the macro for Word, but since there are several macros to do it, you can go and copy it and decide which one you want.

Probably have to make a macro. nm
k
I think one of my companies has a macro sm
that takes out spaces at the end of lines. I automatically put them in too at the end of a sentence, and sometimes when I have to go back and look at old reports, they are no longer there. So I'm pretty sure i'm not getting paid for something I'm typing. But it's really trivial, so I'm not going to say anything about it.
BTW, maybe you could create some kind of macro to take out excess spaces after you complete a document? it might save you QA problems. i have macros that I run at the end of my documents all the time -- automatically fix capitalizations, remove unused headers, stuff like that. I just make one mega macro for each client and encompass all the little macros that I will need to use for them. Takes about 0.5 seconds per document and takes a lot of headache out of some of the mundane proofing tasks.
I am not the OP, but I would love to set up such a macro. sm
I have set up a macro to align things to the left, but I have no idea what the keyboard steps would be to make this 2-space macro. Would you be kind enough to give me the keyboarding steps to record a macro that will do this? Thanks much.
wanna macro
Hi, If anyone has keyboard steps to set up a macro for speech to delete a period and replace it with a comma and one space instead of two, I'd love to hear from you. Also, the reverse would be good. I'd like to deleted the comma, place a period and have two spaces afterwards instead of one. I got the code on Productivity Talk from Ed Webber, but it was like reading Greek; I was lost! Or, it someone knows of a book I can purchase to learn to do these macros, that would be good too! Thanks to any who reply!
No. This company was created by SM
the same people who ran Omnimed after they sold to Dictaphone. They waited out their noncompete and started this one. Sounds very similar to Omnimed from the posts I read.
I used to work at Omnimed and I think that was the lowest pay I ever received from a transcription company in my whole career.
Not all are created equal..
It is not accurate to lump all VR programs in the same category. While I'm sure there are horrible programs out there with companies that don't really care about whether the VR program works for the MTs that is not true in all cases. Like the other poster, I love VR and would never want to do anything else. There is no way that you can do 350 to 400 lines per hour on straight text; it is something that is not hard to achieve with a good VR program combined with a company that doesn't allow just any dictator onto speech. Of course you have to proof the document 100% - I don't think VR will ever be able to recognize everything exact but there are very minimal corrections to make. Maybe that is currently the exception and not the rule.
Macro Solutions in California
There was recently an ad on MTdaily for a company rep for Macro Solutions in CA. Did anyone apply to that and receive a response? I applied and have received 2 responses. I am beginning to think this is not a legit company and wanted to know if anyone else applied and what they think. Their web site looks legit enough but they basically hired me without even a phone interview, and now are telling me I have to open a bank account at a specific bank before I can work for them. Something fishy going on here?
New COO at WMX. Job created just for him, didn't exist before sm
Lots of new hiring at WMX. Me thinks JC is probably behind this, recruiting Spheris/Edix people over there. I will always thing of that scum bag service and Edix, one of the worst, ever.
Well I emailed the person who created it
This is a positive group that is not meant to harm TT. She will do whatever is best for the group as a whole. I don't know her at all because most of us are anonymous but I have confidence that she will do the right thing.
Templates are created by the IT people or
The MT usually does not have access to these things. In my day, we had to put in a request and hope to heck they got it right. Plus, we had to wait a while. I think they're called dictionaries (templates) believe it or not. It has been about a year, and I don't miss that system at all. Clunky, slow, and lost many of reports due to it going down in the middle of typing. Grrrr.....
It's a mythical title created by the AAMT to get yet another fee out of us
Ask any doctor what a CMT is. They have never heard of it.
Well, there ya go.
My account doesn't have a template, I created my
own. The header/demographics is manually entered, though I have a template that has all the required information and I just fill in the blanks. I DO get paid for that information.
Webmedx created rumor mill
I am aware of Webmedx acquiring new accounts. And I will attend the meeting so I can hear how Webmedx cares about its employees because they make it what it is. Any my quality is what I say, and I have never missed getting my linecount until recently when there is no work available to do to meet my linecount. I have worked endless hours, overtime, stat calls on unscheduled time. I have contacted my STM and discussed this on several occasions.
I am not posting unreal fears. These are realities. The rumor mill has been created by Webmedx and their lack of communication with their employees.
I am not following how you make the macro, in word? or expander like shorthand? Help me.

They'll work with the report being created in front of them...sm
With all the times I've had residents, PAs, or NPs dictate sentences, erase them, start again, erase them, and then end up saying go back to where I said [fill in the blank] and put [such and such] instead, I can't see a machine being able to correctly interpret all that. If they work with the document being created in front of them, they can fix all this stuff as they go along. Just highlight the old stuff they want out and replace it with the new stuff they really wanted.
I can't see the computers picking up medication errors, dosage errors, incorrect dates, new operative equipment, being able to correctly flag right/left, or correct spelling of cc'd physicians' names. Most likely there is another program running with it that would do a pop screen for amoxicillin 5000 mg tid to question it. Physician names are probably in a pop up screen too. Of course, it's not going to correct everything but when the COX-2 inhibitors were taken off the market do you think a human could go through all 5,785 charts to find the people who had been prescribed Celebrex to call them to tell them to stop taking it? Of course not. It's not a matter of IF MT's will be replaced, it's already happening.
It is their own platform but not word based. Shorthand is the macro stuff.
Pretty decent place to work.
They have created a new position that pays hourly. Anyone know what the hourly rate range is? NM
