I think it's a free trial download, then $99.00

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.
Cool! I just dowloaded the trial version, and it's
nm
Where can you get this free trial? nm

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.
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

Anybody know of any good line counting software that is free to download?
TIA
If you have an Infinity pedal, you can pull the files in thru Express Scribe, (free download) and

I agree. Version 8 is a nightmare. Love version 6. nm

Not yet, but they are starting a trial soon, if they
haven't already with one account and if that works out then the other accounts will be transitioned to it. They call it something else, but it is basically VR. They are going to pay us hourly (do an average of our pay for 6 months to get a good rate) for a while until we can get up to speed and then we will go back to a line rate. I have not heard anything about what line rates will be like.
If you apply do it through their website.
When I tested I downloaded a trial
version of Word 2007. When I worked as Spheris they had a proprietary platform so I didn't need Word. My personal PC had MS Works which didn't work to test with, so I downloaded a trial version of Word 2007 which worked to fill out the applications and to test with. I figured if I was hired for a job that needed Word 2003 or above (as many of do), then I'd buy it. As it turns out, I was hired at another company who also uses their on proprietary software/platform so I don't need Word. I had used an earlier version of Word for jobs I had back between 1998-2000. Hope this helps.
Free enterprise. You are free to re-educate and retrain, as well!!!!
What's the complaint?!
I recently downloaded a trial of spyware and it turns off ITV when IT is trying to access it.
Don't know if that may be your problem or not, but that is the only time I have had it happen. It alwasy links to IE and I haven't figured out how to stop that. Wish I could.
Free sure. There are free on-line fax
services, in fact I used one last week. Most do have limits on how often you can use and how many pages though. You obviously would have to scan pages into a document, but maybe she doesn't have a scanner either.
She could have mailed paperwork back.
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.
Download the Demos first and try them out...
FlashType:
http://www.MTStars.com/FlashType
Shorthand:
http://pcshorthand.com/
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?
dd
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.
There must be more than one version. sm
The platform I've used at a couple different companies is very easy to use. One place I worked the database very seamless integrated with what was called Meditech word processor. Another company used the exact same thing except it actually integrated with MS Word.
I think Meditech Magic and Meditech Client may be two different things and I'm not entirely sure which one I've been using that I like so well, but I think it may be Client.
At any rate, the line count on it is really screwy...but that could be something that is set by the facility/program administrator.
They use version 6. nm
xx
It's probably version 7.5.3.4.1 - every new version
And no, you won't find anyone to ask. On a weekend? Unheard of.
I'm sorry, but I usually download 3 jobs to start, then...sm
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!!!
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.
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
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.
Yes, it is loaded with their version of DQS. nm

You'll have to ask KS which version of
Meditech it is. Every account is different. I have used Meditech Magic. I used it for years and so I like it and can be productive. There are other platforms that are much faster, but its all in what you get used to. I've heard that the latest version of Meditech is much faster than magic.
They were updated to a new version.
x
Does the version of Meditech
you will be using have an expander? The Meditech I work in does not, therefore I have to use InstantText or ShortHand for an expander.
I think MQ and DSG use the same version but this company I am with now does not. nm
:
here's the short version
I've been using it fairly steadily since November 2004. I've got DNS Medical version 9.5 with a really good microphone. Plus, I've put the time and effort into training the program. My typing speed has dropped over the years (maybe 70 wpm now) and I don't have the a particularly good memory as far as abbreviations go, so DNS is ideal for me. --- I lucked out 'cause I was able to upgrade to version 7 for about $99, and then the subsequent upgrades were not much more. The program works just fine for me, so I have no need to upgrade further.
If you want to want more in-depth information, email me and we'll chat. I just don't want to floor the board with things.
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.
For all we know, it's a "dummied-down" version of the test...
Regardless, it seems to me to be a slap in the face to American CMTs.
The last InstantText I used was a very early version, so SM
I can't speak to that any more, but just wanted to stay that ShortHand is excellent and I also love it. But it is a very sophisticated program with a whole bunch of bells and whistles that you can use or not use as you choose.
KS/Meditech - PCshorthand version (sm)
Could someone at KS tell me if Meditech works with the NEW (10?) version of PCShorthand or should we download the last version out? (I have windows XP). Thanks for your help!
What version of Meditech does KS use? I've
read that the old Meditech version is horrible, but that Meditech Magic is much better. I think there is also a Pro version too.
Precyse uses it's own program that's a version of
working in Word. Easiest thing I have ever worked on.
I am talking about the Medical version - sm
the regular is a lot cheaper.
It's the 3rd-person version of MYOB -nm
