either that or a good memory
because I did not take notes, but I sure as heck remember most of what was posted being said.
I had to put more memory in my machine sm
to speed it up. Now it's okay.
Before you install more memory...
...you might want to check to see what's running on your computer that could be eating up the memory (or processing cycles).
Unfortunately, few computers boot up in a clean state because a lot of applications are pre-configured to start up automatically as services on bootup. Your task bar is one clue to what's running, but some applications don't present themselves as taskbar icons.
Those that do, you can usually right-click on the icon and select Exit or Shut Down from the menu that pops up. Unfortunately, this is no guarantee that doing so will actually return their memory space back to the operating system.
Also, certain antivirus and anti-spyware software can consume a lot of both memory space and processing cycles. Avira and AVG have, in my experience, been the among the least burdensome of the different ones that I've used.
And, of course, if you do install memory yourself, be absolutely sure that it's the right type of memory and be sure you know whether you have to install them in banks or pairs, or can add single memory modules. A lot of owner's manuals provide good instructions about adding memory, fortunately, and the memory retailers on the Internet usually have the information for each make and model of computer as well.
Also, note that it's not just slots that determine how much memory you can use. Vista 32-bit version will only recognize up to 3 GB, for instance, even if your computer will hold more.
I use a company called Crucial Technology at www.crucial.com for memory and have been extremely happy with the accuracy of their information, delivery time and support.
memory fails but wasn't an SLO
... the FBI's "most wanted" list, living the life of a perfectly normal suburban wife and mother, complete with community involvement, PTA (and church?) meetings, etc., fooling everyone? Who would have imagined she took part in all that Patty Hearst kidnapping (and other) stuff?
Two things come to mind here relating to your topic (?):
1. She made a 180-degree turn and no one knew.
2. She made a 180-degree turn.
Talk about muscle memory for an MT! :) nm

You can thank technology!
With all the available options with the internet now, overseas, voice recognition, etc., it has become the ruination of MTing as we knew it. Not to mention other things. Customer service jobs going overseas. Small businesses folding due to the internet shopping competition, like Ebay. And look at the children of the new mod-world, they don't even go outside to play anymore, they chat on the internet and hang out on MySpace.com. It's a very scary world.

 That line about we take care of our people is laughable. They might take care of some favorites.

Not just technology
But the corporate mentality behind it. Now there are exceptions, but in general, once the suits saw $$ in Transcription, that was all she wrote. The hospital corporations may think they are saving $ but all they are doing is redistributing who gets the real $ and the quality of the medical report suffers in the process.
With technology progressing the way it is,
there's no reason the hospitals can't hire people in other states to do their transcription for them over the Internet or a toll-free phone line. I live in a very rural state, and that's what it's boiling down to. The hospitals can't find people willing to work inhouse, so they're setting up dial-in or Internet access for off-site transcriptionists. I worked for the local hospital for a while at home. We got sick leave, vacation pay, insurance benefits, and bonuses. I left them for a different job, but I wish I had stayed with them.
what has modern technology got to sm
do with my post about folks working from home and not taking this job seriously while raising kids? Obviously you want to argue the book versus internet thing again and its not going to happen.
Go back to India.
That "other technology...." sm
is already on the scene. It is EMR using POS terminals. Yep, we will just become generic patients with point-and-click illnesses, just as we will become unemployed persons with a huge fund of knowledge. That and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee, but you'd better have a dollar!
I think this just fabulous technology!........nm

MultiModal Technology
Just wondering if anyone is currently working for a company that uses MultiModal Speech Technology and if the platform is MT friendly? I have a job offer and this is what the company uses and it sounds like an easy platform. Thanks!
MQ technology has always been #1. Platform is state of the art
and others pale in comparison. DocQScribe is their newest platform, and its great. Really fast, really efficient for us regarding demos, etc.
To the MQ MT who posted above re state of the art technology... sm
I tried to email you through your post above; but got a message that email address was incorrect. Need to ask a question about your post. Thanks.

Buy why bother to learn all that new technology
Its like, whats the point even? I wonder if the leaders of this country have any idea how HUGE the homeless and indigent problem is going to be here in just a few years. And they won't have the middle class to fall back on and bail them out, because the entire middle class will be gone. They'll either be living in their cars and begging on street-corners, or incarcerated for stealing in order to survive, or else they'll be dead. This whole business of putting Americans out of work, so the rich can become richer, is gonna eventually leave them with some big bills to pay.

I have been offered a job with TTS and can't find any info on them. They are located in New Hampshire. They had a job posting on the job seekers board here so I was hoping somebody had some information. Thank you!
Does TTS (Transcription, Technology & Support) still have issues sm
regarding pay? I checked the archives, and I found posts saying they didn't get paid on time, pay was not correct, etc., which is a bit scary. I was only going to work for them part-time, but I still would like to get paid. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone with information on Transcription, Technology, and Support (TTS)?
It sounds like they have a lot of good benefits but it always appears that way in ads to sell themselves and then you find out it isn't what it appears. I am curious about their medical insurance, if it is affordable and what their accounts are like i.e. high ESLs etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Proof positive that the evolution of technology
Manual Typewriters: At least they work during a power outage. And having to leave the keyboard to return the carriage by hand can help prevent some computer injuries. Downside - you had to hit the keys really hard, and they were slow.
Electric Typewriter: You could actually do things like make the document LOOK GOOD, and easy-to-read, not like the wrap-around cr@p our final product turns into at the receiving end. Downside - Power failures, and the memory writers never had enough memory for me.
Mag Cards: (You forgot these!) Even though they were older than the IBM memory typewriters, I really love my Mag-Card, because you could just keep feeding cards into it, so the memory was limitless. Easy to do normals on them, too. Downside - they were HUGE!
Straight Transcription: Produces a better, more-accurate record. I've done enough 'normals' and templates in my day to see some truly incredible mistakes because the doc didn't bother to pull the right template, or even read what it said. Straight transcription is also a lot more interesting to do. Downside - docs get tired of talking, and tend to go a mile-a-minute through the physical exams.
VR: It has its limited uses, but having seen the trash it produces, I think it has no place in medical or legal documentation. Upside - it makes for a lot of uproarious laughter when you're watching the Evening News with VR-produced, closed-captioning.
EMR: Again, it has its uses, for example, making it possible to immediately look up, or send, a patient's entire medical record, or to use the computer to find a specific part of a long, complicated record. But point-and-click yes-and-no sounds tedious to ME, and I work with words and tedium for a living. Imagine a busy, impatient doctor trying to do it. I think it would drive most of them nuts, and probably leaves them wide-open for major mistakes that could impact patient safety.
Does anyone have experience with Advanced Transcription Technology?
I'd like to hear about other's experience there before applying.
PS Leadfeather: MQ and Philips are together working hard on the VR technology...
that is why Philips bought MQ. I was reading that yesterday. this is something they are working very hard on, which is why I do not think Philips will let go of MQ - too much invested, even after the loss they have been taking over the recent problems MQ has had...
Philips, however, also does a lot of good things in the medical field, which is pretty impressive a philips medical...
