Does anybody have a recommendation for a keyboard that is almost silent? Mine is so noisy it hinders my ability to hear words correctly. Thanks!

Some info for you on main board, maybe 2nd or 3rd page.

OK...call me dummy...what do you mean external keyboard??? Just signed out from work at 7 a.m...still not functioning, not thinking....
NN is passed out at the keyboard
 with empty bags of Cheetos strewn around, Cheeto powder all over the keys, guess she'll have to call in sick today.
Contour keyboard
Has anyone here tried the Kinesis Contour Keyboard? The two sides of the keyboard letters are split far apart to opposite sides of the keyboard platform, farther apart than the standard ergonomic keyboards. I just wondered if it's hard to get used to and if it helped with wrist pain.
Keyboard Template
Send an e-mail to Info@N2NTrans.Com and I will send you a copy of the Meditech keyboard template. Jeff Smith

welcome aboard
Nobody held your hands to the keyboard
 Go away!!
Thanks, I don't have the foot pedal, had to do it with keyboard. SM
YUCK! NOT FUN!
keyboard sticking .. thus the errors!!
My apologies .. I am going to buy a modem and will get a new keyboard as well .. probably need an eye appt. too!!
You plug in a keyboard just like you would on a desktop and
use that keyboard instead of the one on the laptop. Keyboard doesn't have to be USB, can use an adapter if your keyboard is PS/2, although older laptops do have a plug for PS/2.
The PC check also messed with my keyboard,
could not use some shortcut buttons, had to reinstall the keyboard driver CD that came with it and then it worked fine again, hopefully you have one for yours, otherwise you can most likely find the driver for it on the web somewhere. Haven't noticed any problems otherwise from the PC check program.
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.
DocQ audio from keyboard
CTRL + SPACEBAR to toggle on and off for play, CTRL + comma and CTRL + period for rewind and fast forward. Once you've tried it for a half a shift, you'll never want to see your footpedal again!
I use both a wireless mouse and keyboard
and love it! I've used both the Microsoft 7000 wireless keyboard and mouse as well as the Logitech wave wireless keyboard and have no problems with either one keeping up with fast keystrokes.
Definitely keyboard + expander macros. SM
Mouse absolutely as little as possible. Maximal creation of macros (or more realistically, aiming for) to perform those corrections that come up all the time. BTW, those macros I create on my Expander belong to me. Most MTs so far don't have this skill to offer, making me faster and better than most. That'll change someday, in big part due to posts like this, but until then, or until tech changes make this skill obsolete, it definitely works to my monetary advantage. Try it.
Don't want to have to use keyboard to type test reports. Anyone know (sm)
of companies that just do the verbal testing or a company that you can do the test reports using the same foot pedal control we use with Medquist?
They do supply standard, but I have connected my IBM keyboard.

Keyboard. Using the mouse is too hard on my hands. nm

Hate using keyboard for testing ? co. test can use MQ footpedal? nm)

You can plug in a USB keyboard into a laptop or use a docking station.

DocQ, hmmm, how to play audio from keyboard??
Can you share. Didn't know, worked on platform twice and nobody ever said this.??? Can you share?
I use keyboard only....move along with the voice with my arrow keys, then...
my mouse is right where the voice is when I have to make a correction. Couldn't do it any other way.
I use the Microsoft wireless 4000 comfort keyboard
and had no trouble switching to it from my split keyboard. It is curved, so has a similar feel. I love being wireless. I use it with my laptop and work on it all day. I think I've been working wireless for about 2 years now and couldn't go back. I work with my keyboard in my lap, so the wireless is great.
I work on a lap top. I plug in an external monitor and keyboard at home, and

not gott.... GOTTA (I hate my laptop keyboard..fingers are too fat)
I wish Logitech made a wireless ergonomic/split keyboard.

Axolotl employees....Is the computer keyboard they supply ergonomic or standard?
I am scheduled to start in about a month and am trying to prepare. Thanks!
Silent type....but
you get paid by the page and you have to go to Ft. Lee, NJ for 2 days for training. No set schedule as long as 40 pages are made per day.
Silent Type
A good company to work for & they have benefits, and you can ask for op reports as ur preference. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

Silent Type Inc.
They are not a good company to work for. They produce horrible work and are a terrible company all around. SAVE YOURSELVES....don't work for Silent Type!!!
silent type
Does anyone here work for Silent Type - I need info on the company. Just offered a job with them and I would like to talk to a fellow transcriber. I know I have to go to NJ to train. Any help would be appreciated.
silent type
i know they are the ones who got my hospital i had for 14 years because they got the entire network. They charge a fortune and I hear their work stinks. An administrator told me she doesn't know how she gets the accounts (Marilyn). But that's just me!
Silent Type
Yes, you have to pay out-of-pocket for your trip and you are reimbursed somewhere along the line, up to $500. But who has $500 to pay just to be able to work????
Silent Type Inc
Has anyone had any experience with this company? Good, bad, indifferent? Dependable? Is there work? Do they treat their people right????
Thanks!
Silent Type
Any info on Silent Type would be appreciated. Thanks.
Silent Type
Interviewed with Silent Type today. Need some more info on them regarding their pay per page, etc.
Silent Type
I also received the same email regarding testing in the past and training at home. I had my interview prior and live in NJ but still would have had to travel 2-1/2 hours for 2 day training in November. Now they will train at home.
Yes they provide computer but the insurance (I'm a single mom) was outrageous and the pay per pay (top rate probably after years) was less than I made per page 12 years ago. I chose to stick with where I am.
thank you for info on Silent
Thank you. That is about average I would say.
Silent Type
Anyone who started with Silent Type - I am curious about who it's going with the page count and type of system they use for transcription. TIA.
Silent Type, Inc.
Hi. Does anyone know anything about the company Silent Type, Inc. Any info greatly appreciated. LLD 
Silent Type
Hi Anon,
Thanks a lot for the info. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Silent Type
I have a good friend who works there and absolutely loves it. She's been there about 4 years now. However, they offshore most of their work which I don't like. That would be my only thing against them.
Silent Type
I tested and interviewed with them. Even though they claim top wages, they offered me a very low page count pay rate. They may have upper it since then, this was around December. Know they provide equipment and also benefits for myself and 2 kids was almost $600 a month. I didn't accept the job but maybe pay rate has gone up and benefit costs down. Let me know how you make out.
Silent Type sm
I would appreciate it if you could please e-mail me if you work at Silent Type. I wonder if it would be better than where I am, although where I am isn't bad, I feel Silent Type may be better. Thank you.
