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.

I just messed up on a verbal test - sm
I cannot believe how badly I did.  I completely froze on the questions for meanings of ostial/osteal, ileum/ilial.  I feel like such an idiot!  I'm pretty sure I answered everything else correctly,  but those sound alikes always get me, and I always have to pull out my Dorland's.  I'm fairly certain I blew this one. 
That is good you messed up then - awful co

VR and messed up medical records
I agree. I have a friend who asked me to look at his medical record that he obtained from the hospital and I found a lot of mistakes that would not be made had they not used VR and the MT Editor had not missed those mistakes. Like lists. Instead of a vertical list, it runs the list altogether. Impression 1,2,3 and 4 are in one big paragraph. No punctuation, words run together. Yes, there will be lawsuits.
Messed up how? Facts to back this?

My guess is someone messed up the pool scripts sm
which determines how the work is routed. I had work until about 1 on my primary and then moved over to my secondary and scraped together the last 200 lines. For the last 3 weeks I have been running out on my primary at 9:30 in the morning.
You are really reaching. We're all messed up if it passes.

The HR person took files with her and really messed things up when she left. She was sm
the rudest person I have ever talked to, and Keystrokes is much better off without her.
You're right! Hahaha My typo totally messed up the meaning!
Yes, MQ is aware of my other position. I was very up front with them when I took their offer. Spheris probably would not be happy about my situation, I agree.

My other comments were made because no matter what I post, someone has got to be interested in what I'm doing or not doing, whether they think it is right or not, etc.

My whole post on this thread was an answer about great companies. I posted. Then, if you'll go back and look at this entire thread, I am the one getting all the virtual "you can't do that" complainers on my back.

It's not anyone else's business. One of the OPs started it I suppose with the trying to tell me I can't post on this forum because I work for Spheris and I can't use their computer. Then others chime in. Then others start in with what they think I can and cannot do.

It's none of anyone's business. I wasn't addressing any of those subjects whatsoever.

I seem to be prime fuel for the flaming activities, regardless of the subject of my posts. Even if I respond to others, 9 times out of 10 I get flamed and for other subject matter most of those times.

Hahaha, you are right in your answers to some of the other posters. You and I are having an adult conversation and understanding each other well, even if we disagree. THAT is how it should be.

As I answered you somewhere in this same thread, I understand what you were bringing to light for others who may not realize about working for more than 1 company. It is a gamble. I agree wholeheartedly.

It isn't just the competition between Spheris and MQ though. That expectation is with other companies as well, maybe not all, but most. And most, if you read the employee handbook imply that they do not want their employees on forums like this.

One of the OPs stated that I signed a contract with Spheris forbidding me to be on this forum. No ma'am. That simply isn't true. I went back and looked at everything I've signed. I've signed no such contract. There may be an implied policy but I have not signed any such contract.

I personally think that each company has really good aspects. I can also see where each could improve. That will be with any company though. As long as I am well paid and have flexibility and opportunity, I'm a happy clam.

Broken promises, messed up pay, endless drama. Good riddance!

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

Silent keyboard

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!


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.


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!

Does background check include credit check?

"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

Thank you. I will check into it.

Might Want to Check Them Out...
Actually, they are a recruiting firm that ARE recruiting for a large US based company...
Thank you! Will check them out too!

MQ check

Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???


I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?


Check out
other trx message boards in which they repeat the same negative comments about Transhealth and go into more detail about the situations they encountered.
Thanks, I might check them out. nm

Check out JLG nm
treat there mts well
You can check into
Verizon wireless.  They have a PC card that you can use in your laptop.  It will give your computer a signal and it will work like a cell phone.  As long as you are in the Verison service area you can use the internet.  I have a family member who is always on the go and loves it!
You bet they can - check this out.

First Pay Check?
Is this your first paycheck from the company? If it is, then that's what happened to me on my first pay check only. I get paid every two weeks, but the first paycheck was withheld for two weeks so when I finally got paid I waited 6 weeks, but now my pay comes every two weeks.
