VR is NOT going to be all accounts or all services. It is A wave of the future not THE wave of the We have a few accounts on VR and some that tried it and did not like it and some that will never go to it for various reasons. VR works in some settings but not all. I personally think it will take about 25% of the work in MT but the actual numbers from the technology companies say less than 10%. That is very encouraging. Here is another thought. If we need twice the number of MTs in the US to do the current volume and numbers increase consistently, and VR makes everyone twice as productive, we will be better equipped to handle transcription in the U.S. The offshore companies are not as cheap as they used to be. Their rates are climbing slowly but surely. There are also a lot of reports on CNN, CNBC, etc that say that they are running out of workers in India, Pakistan, Phillipines, etc. I think we will see a swing back to US MTs and back to being a good field to get into. It will just take a little more time. We did not get to this point in a day. I use my own foot pedal. It isn't an EMDAT pedal either, just a regular WAV pedal. nm nm Only difference I've noticed is the DVI vs non-DVI pedal.

Very s Not all accounts are on wave files yet. x EGZAKLY and IT's the wave of the FUTURE and U better get X Wave of the future, thank MTIA! question on VR editing, wave of the future ? it seems that alot of companies are either there or heading in that direction, before I jump ship looking for greener grass and consistent work - anybody truly happy working on their VR program? if I have to get into it, at least I want to get into the right one - can you really double your production? thanks for your response and help Companies who transcribe wave files? Hi. I am looking for a good company who will transcribe medical wave files and return them completed in 24 hours via the internet. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Guess this is the wave of the future, I cant take this anymore...nm xxx You must be sufferin from some severe heat wave lmaoooooooo Ride the wave, yeee haaaa Ladies lighten up. You really are taking this all too seriously. Our profession is now one that is taking its last swirl around the toilet bowl before being flushed into the sewer of voice recognition and slave labor. If you can afford it, hang on to your daisy dukes, plug your nose, and ride the wave. with 16 years I would suspect you to know the diff. between wave and waive?!?!? nm Got all my terrible towels washed and ready to wave. GO STEELERS! Pedal If you download of Windows Media Player version 10, you can use Ctrl P to stop and start the sound and also speed up or slow down the rate of dictation. Below is the link that talks about the speed control and how to use it. It is still a bit cumbersome, but a lot easier than using the mouse in my opinion.

Has anyone else out there taken one using their mouse and if so how did it work out? I have been to 4 different computer stores tonight. No one had a clue as to what a foot pedal is. Any info appreciated. Foot pedal Excuse me, but have not been on internet for a long period of time. The test I am taking has been sent by email, have Media Player there, but how do they connect? Don't fuss at me, just some help please. Thanks. USB foot pedal I use a USB foot pedal but it's a pain but there is a work around. You need Express Scribe and to download the voice file there. When you are all done with your note you need to go into the Editscript audio box, which is on the upper left hand side and move the slider to 97-98% and then press listen, listen to the end, then send the report. If you don't it messes something up on their end. Send me an email if this is not quite clear. I've been doing this for a year and a half this way but am not in the program right now. Dee 9 pin foot pedal I just began MT from home about a month ago. A friend who had gotten out of the business loaned me a 9 pin foot pedal. However, my brand new Dell computer (bought it in 7/06) had no serial port for a 9 pin pedal. I bought an adapter, but it never worked, so I had to get a USB foot pedal. Most of the newest computers have no place to connect a 9-pin. I spoke to Dell about this, and they said, the 9-pin is considered to be old technology. Here is the info on the pedal I use...sm http://www.startstop.com/sst2.asp If it is Phoenix Medcom, they use StartStop software. My pedal is the USB type. See if they can send you a pedal.

Try this website for freeware. It sounds like your foot pedal is not configured. There is a way to do it from your OS program (Acessories, utility tools, wizard??) but I can't remember where to find it. This probably will work and won't hurt to try. It also has some other interesting features. I am doing a search of my Windows XP 2002 to see if I can find access to that feature but it is taking its swee time. I will post it if I succeed. It is a little unsettling that your help desk and others can't figure out this relatively simple and common problem. http://www.dirfile.com/freeware/foot-pedal-control.htm Foot Pedal Control Express Scribe License: Freeware Express Scribe is professional audio playback control software designed to assist the transcription of audio recordings.

Where did you order it from? I see the one on Stop/Start for $98. It looks just like my Infinity pedal, only USB. Thanks! USB pedal and EditScript Hmmm, I was just told that USB will not work and that I need the 9-pin adapter. How is it you're able to use your USB pedal I wonder??? more on foot pedal Many accounts are C-phone, which they will rent to you if you don't have one (but you can usually find a reasonable deal on eBay), so you would use the foot pedal with that. I don't remember all the computer requirements, but you do have to have high-speed internet, unlimited long distance for any C-phone or Lanier accounts (you get hired to a specific account), and anti-virus/spywrae software.

I had to purchase one for two of my accounts because the foot pedal I had wouldn't interface with Dragon or Bayscribe. It has to do if you have a foot pedal or not. If you try to transcribe these types of tests without a foot pedal, it is indeed impossible. You will miss words, because it will take an extremely long time to listen, type, go back, type, etc. Also, if your footpedal is not set up to back space enough (sometimes footpedals don't do so well with software), that too can be a problem. In my case, I had the foot pedal and I could go over it and be done with it without spending hours. But, in the past, I have done these kinds of tests without the pedal and it is murder. In my opinion, the companies are aware of this, and do little to make the potential candidates comfortable. When I used to hire, I gave the MT every opportunity and resource to do their best. Not with this company and several others. There are those out there who do a better test, believe me. So, it is not you or your friends. It is indeed the nature of the technology, and this particular company does not seem to care about making sure all goes well for the potential candidate. yes, you need a 15-pin foot pedal That is the only pedal that works with their platform. foot pedal.. I have one that will not work with expresscribe at all...Luckily I have an older one that does...unless the job you are applying for can tell you how to use, I would watch for the format they use, or you will be buying another foot pedal to work...the one that does not work to test, works great on DocQScribe and Emdat, also Chartscript for sure. When I took it I had no foot pedal, either. But Good thing, too - because I didn't know how to slow down the fast dictators. I think it took me about 7 hours to transcribe it all and then proof it. RE: No foot pedal. Without the use of a foot pedal an MT is likely to do much worse on a test because replaying words and phrases is too much trouble and takes too long. The company should understand this and fix their testing procedures but don't count on it. It happened to me once with a different company. They did not take that into account at all. I concluded that they were incompetent at setting up a credible test and wrote them off for good. Your pedal should work with both, but... you may need different software for the Gear Player. Email me if you need help - my hubby is an IT guy who I'm sure could help you out. Thanks, I don't have the foot pedal, had to do it with keyboard. SM YUCK! NOT FUN!

DB9 foot pedal converter-- For anyone who has converted a USB footpedal to a DB9 serial can you PLEASE tell me how you did it???? Did you have to buy another part to connect the footpedal USB to the USB on the DB9 serial adapter? From what I am told my serial USB is a male and my foot pedal USB is a male and they don't sell serial adapters that are female. Boy I hope this makes sense... I am just really confused. I am supposed to be starting for Sten-Tel and this has been my only problem. Thanks a bunch!!
