PHONE NUMBERS
You should be able to find the numbers at medquist.com or QNET, or send an email to medquistbenefits@medquist.com they are usally good about getting back to you.
You can get 2, 3, or more phone numbers
through TWC. When they installed my phone they asked if I wanted more than one number.
Please do not post names or phone numbers. (NM)

As soon as everyone posts their Names, Addresses, & Phone Numbers
...publicly,...then I'll list my business info.
:)
try this for locations sm

So you do work in other locations during the weekend..SM
allowing you to get a work shift in while being gone from home? I suppose you would have to be somewhere with an internet connection, obviously, and bring your foot pedal, also. This sounds kind of appealing. Do you do this in hotel rooms? I'm not sure I'd be places where there is a wifi connection, would be my problem. Using the full-size extra keyboard is a good idea. That's definitely something I'd do. Thanks for the tip. I've never had a laptop so I didn't think about that.
If they pay by character, they pay for numbers. Numbers are characters, silly.

She didn't put any names or even employment locations with her post --
she simply listed errors she sees. I would keep a list as well; could be very useful in training new MTs or orienting even experienced MTs about what they have had in the past, how easy it is for one to just "type what they hear" and not pay attention, etc.
She didn't do anything wrong.
What branch?
MQGuy, which branch? Glad to hear someone's doing something about this rampant, annoying, dishonest problem.
Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Geez - hopefully it's the "used to be" best branch starting with a "B".
I sure hope so - as I've all of a sudden noticed I'm not getting the worst of the worst, one after another, day in and day out. I still get the "bad" but at least there is a halfway "good" dictator in-between. I still question the discrepancy in the time of the dictation I receive, i.e. dictation from 1:18 am, 2:46 am, 2:57 am, 2:58 am, 9:02 am, 9:43 am. Still feel something is wrong with this picture! What happened to the hours between 3:00 am & 9:00 am? Have had dictation when I've logged on in the am from the night before at 9:17 pm, next dictation at 9:58 pm, then all of a sudden dictation from the next morning at 5:28 am. Lots of hours missing here! Questioned being assigned work - Denied! Anyone with a logical explanation that I'm not seeing here ? Anyhow - hopefully this new revelation is through my office and may change things. If not - I'll just keep reading the posts on who to apply for a new job with.

I realize I may regret extending the olive branch but
to tell you the truth, I have always rooted for the underdogs.
My very best friend in the world once tied my hair in knots (before we were friends,) added some gum and dirt to the mix too. This was back when I was in the 3rd grade. Her parents made her come and apologize and we have been very thick ever since.
She didn't have many friends either. She was kind of a bully and the kids were all basically scared of her. I am proud to say that I could rely on her in a pinch going on 25 years now.
On the advice of one of the posters, I will make sure that the pup is in the clear with animal control and the local police just to be safe. I have a friend who volunteers at the local animal shelter where we adopted our puppy. He teaches obedience classes for the dogs and caregiving for the owners. All of this he does for free.
Perhaps if all goes well with the neighbors, I will suggest to the dad that he and his daughter accompany us to some of these classes when we go. Maybe she can learn to love the animals and they can help heal her a little too.
There I go again, rootin for the underdog.

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big
difference. Also, have you tried a different headset? Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone. It's a tiny hole. If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well. As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year. Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology. So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.
I know very little about Lanier equipment. I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone. Is there a local appliance repair place in your area? You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think. Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.
Not much help, I know. But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 
I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as
xx
I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm
.
I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?
??
May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month. What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate? TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up. The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone. If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done. Sorry that was not much help. I wish you luck
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM
Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone? Is there a problem with my C-phone? At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company. They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.
It's driving me batty!
C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone. Can someone help me understand exactly how this works? Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get. I guess I should contact my phone company. At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone
through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?
We only have one phone line. I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones. I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone. I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report.
I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie.
Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
Numbers
I've been doing this for 20 years and never saw it done that way. It's grade 3/6. You are correct.
My numbers came from the US
O'Reilly get his stats?
800 numbers
I was told by the company I worked for that 800 numbers were very expensive. They let us use them for awhile, and then they cancelled them. All the unlimited plans I checked on said up front that medical transcription would not be allowed. I was afraid to just try anyway.
Numbers
I still spell out numbers 1-9 as ex, There are three sutures .... - as a rule of thumb and know what the big bad BOS says but I think this is safer than just pulling one little ole' nunber there by itself and spelling out is easier understood with no mistakes Untill my compnay tells me no I will continue to do this. I worry more about how it is going to be read back (missreading an 8 for a 6 or even a 6 for a 5 according to the font on the printer
The numbers....
 Seeing Bush's numbers - ratings - dip down to the teens......That must be what it takes to get this country out of the shower - pryed from the sofa glued to American Idol and the likes, and do something about this lunatic we have for president....
The last numbers I saw
I believe I saw a report about a year ago about this. Early projections had predicted the savings would be 70%, but the reality is more like 17%, according to that report. It talked about all the people that have to edit the reports before they are client ready, so the work can't be as fast as they originally forcasted either, right? So what if it's done in the middle of the night if 4 people have to comb through each report before it's ready to go to client. I'm with you. A lot of time and effort has been invested in this "great idea," and I'm sure they think it's going to get better. But come on, are these edits all being sent back to the transcriptionists so they can even learn from their mistakes?
Numbers...
30,000 to 40,000. Sometimes people misread hyphens in between numbers or around numbers when reading a document, so I always put "to."
numbers
Ditto Janet. It changed a few years back and took me forever to get my fingers moving to that top row on the keyboard! Some clients even want you to start the sentence with a number if dictated (10-year-old female). I find that very hard to do!
And run their numbers together
medicalrecordaccessiondatetime 
I don't have numbers in there, it is the
same amount of keystrokes. For years I have 40y, 30y, etc. For words with different endings, I use the root word with the ending:
tr - treat
trs - treats
trd - treated
trm - treatment
trg - treating
For headings I put an H in front of the abbreviation -
Hneck - NECK:
hgi - GASTROENTESTINAL:
hhpi - HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:
And, for departments I use
err - emergency room
err1 - Emergency Room.
I also have in words I constantly misspell.
Numbers
How do I copy a numbered list in Word. Such as a diagnosis list...cannot get the numbers to copy. TIA
numbers
I just started a job with a new company that does a lot of things 'old school,' but what I love the most is that I can type numbers the way I was taught 'back in the day.'
numbers
This is something that really burns me up !!! When I went to school, number 1 through 9 were to be typed out as a word, anything above 9 to the typed as a number.... I don't know where these people have decided on a whim to change everything we have ever learned in our lifetime.... BOS is just something for ADHI to make money... If they keep changing the rules - what do you know, more money for them........ Don't get me started.
numbers
Whoops - I guess you know who I am and it doesn't matter....... thanks. We all have a right to our opinion.
qa and numbers
Hi Patti. I understand wholeheartedly. Where I worked (QA) WE got blasted if we didn't correct stupid stuff like that (six/6, etc), thus leaving us in somewhat of catch 22. We were damned (by the MTs) if we did change it, but damned by auditing if we didn't. I am so glad I am out of that environment. It was just so toxic.
Okay, SM, when you get those numbers up, let me know.
In this economy and with so many people having low work volumes, I doubt you are going to find many MTs who are going to be willing to go without pay for a couple of days, much less a month!! You are also going to find that many MTs are still happy with their jobs and would refuse to do something like this to a company who treats them so well. They simply do not post on these boards because they are busy working. Who is going to organize this? You are talking about nationwide. Any figures you may have certainly are not going to be reliable - they are given over the internet for goodness sake. Bottom line, just think about it before you participate in something like this (unless of course you have nothing to lose).
Hitting the numbers
I have to agree with Busy MT, Anon, and Endiqua. It doesn't matter how you arrive at verbatim as long as it is verbatim. I have a verbatim account typing op reports. I have set up a file with each doctor's name and a sample report, e.g., Dr. Smith, lap chole, appy, hernia repair. When Dr. Smith dictates, I cut and paste whatever procedure he is dictating into a new document and make any changes as he dictates. As someone said most doctors use the same phraseology in each report, making only minor changes during. For example, 5-0 nylon, instead of 5-0 nylon sutures. Just take out and add in without straight typing every single word. It's still verbatim. Using this system, my usual count is about 300-350 lph. I also use my expander extensively.
So how do you explain the numbers
or did you read even the excerpt? I also recommend listening to The Interview on the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/the_interview.shtml
Mr. Wright was talking about capitalism run amock with no regard to the world we are leaving our children and grandchildren. He mentioned that the ratio between a worker "on the floor" and a CEO 25 years ago was about 1:30 and now it is 1:1000.
You may call it a Band-Aid, but programs such as Headstart (it is IMPERATIVE to do as much as early as possible) etc., grants for community colleges (which Bush also cut) have helped a great deal. I would certainly prefer to have my tax dollars spent on these programs rather than helping bimbos like Paris Hilton buy another toy.
Would you please explain how widening the gap between the very rich and the very poor and squeezing the middle class in the process is in this country's or the world's best interest?
I think the standard now is use numbers (6)
...
yep!! VERY strong in numbers!!! nm
Hyphenation of numbers, etc
Thanks for your answers re the 32-year-old male, etc. I have always been very good at English and have done this for over 30+ years but never really typed it this way for the group I worked for. I want to "keep up-to-date."!!!
Numbers, groan!
Within the same company if I use numerals in things such as 3-year-old female, I get feedback that it should be spelled out; when I spell it out, the next QA tells me that it should be numerals...
I just wander through work and life in a state of perpetual confusion (my home state).
It all works out the same when you do the numbers - sm
on paper. My pay day is the 8 and 23; used to be 7 and 22 but they have taken to mailing the checks out a day later now--it's the same amount of time between checks just 1 day later than I was used to, only takes a day to get to me in the mail though so not a big deal. You need to manage your money so you have breathing room in case a check is later than normal or gets lost in mail (it does happen). I always try to keep a cushion so I don't have that problem, though that is not aways possible as I am sure you know.
Numbers in what context??
You don't spell out numbers (0-9) when used to delineate values, i.e., 2 sets of enzymes, 3 sutures, etc.
Spell out when used in sentence as following:
We placed 3 catheters, one in the XXX and two in the XXX; or He was the one who XXX.
Is that what you are referring to??
