Why are you so desperate?
It would still probably be two weeks til your first check!
In desperate need of some help
I've recently started a new job typing from home, however i have been told that i need a file converter that can convert DVF files to DSS or WAV. I was told to downlaod Switch however i couldn;t get it to work, i must be doing something wrong. Can anyone please suggest an alternative file converter.
Cheers
Emily
No way, no how unless desperate
I can think of no really good reason to have to work more than 1 full time job unless a person had horrible debt they were trying to get out of or medical bills. I've done transcription 32 years full time and have no desire whatsoever to give more than the required 40 hours per week to my employer. And I have no hubby or kids, by the way. I'm incredibly frugal instead and will live out the rest of my life that way. I do sympathize with folks with serious bills but sure don't believe in playing around with credit cards for stuff nobody really needs.
Desperate Housewives!
is anyone hiring out there, desperate
I am currently working for MXsecure and it is well, less than what was promised, or should I say way less. DESPERATE
desperate for keyboard
I had two NMB Right-Touch keyboards that were wonderful. The last one just died. I tried to order another and it seems there are no NMB models for sale anymore. Can someone suggest an excellent keyboard for a transcriptionist?
desperate - re radiology
Is there any website out there that has radiology terminology like all the other medical dictionaries out there? I know Stedmans has a great radiology book, but was wondering if anyone knows of a good comprehensive site for radiology terminology. I have checked a few but when I put in contrast items, it always comes up blank. Any help appreciated. Thank you!
Desperate Housewives??? hee hee....no message

LOL. I think it's more desperate minds than great ones. :)

I think 12 cpl is reasonable...plus they're desperate, that helps...sm
try to get the work into a digital format though. Don't do the tape running around thing. It will kill your profit. Look at Bytescribe's web site and see about using an Olympus recorder and transferring files via Bytescribe. Many advantages including tracking files, duplicate file posting (files never get lost!), flagging to indicate status of files, digital files have superior audio quality, STAT capability, on and on and on
Well I just finished watching Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. How that for an evening. N

Sorry, 'MT way too long,' my post was not meant for you, it was meant for Wow! Sorry!!...nm

Not what I meant . .
If the person doesn't get the item for some reason, I have always refunded. I think people who are scamming are people who take it and run. I have always refunded.
I think you meant
some positive things. I agree with you, but sometimes people just need to vent and this is a good place to do it.
Have a great Friday everyone.
I meant put not up .
No, that is what I meant. thanks
nm
Oh okay, thanks. You meant the *best* was over.

Not you, MQ4 This was meant for
I posted it in the wrong place.
Meant to say nm not sm

Maybe you meant this to be to me..
She never said she was going to Florida. I am not the OP but told her to have fun and that we would be going minus kids to Florida this weekend. If so, to answer your question, we are not going on a vacation. We are going because my husband's company wants us to relocate. They are paying for the air fare/hotel/rent-a-car, etc. We have several BUSINESS meetings to go to where kids would not be appropriate. My kids are young and could not sit still for a real long time where we would be able to sufficiently discuss BUSINESS. Thanks for asking though
thanks, but not what i meant...
Thanks for the response, but i was not referring to Meditec software - i was referring to the training program. Thanks anyway!
He probably meant to say... sm
"No significant ventricular dilatation". Yeah, let voice recognition pick up that goof!
I meant to say
less money...$15.00 less every day
Yes, that is exactly what I meant. (nm)
Sorry, meant to put this on
nm
I meant *Few* - not Dew! LOL

we know what he meant.......nm
that's not what he meant...

I think she meant this one...
Duh, I meant not new..!

Sorry, meant sm, not nm for the above.
mea culpa!
All I meant
It's sad but true--bad things can happen anywhere and anytime. But Minnie, as a mother, don't you agree that a child is generally safer at home with his parent/s. The best daycare in the world can't love or protect a child as a parent would. A child at home with his mom, generally speaking, is safe from such an incident. That's all I meant.
I don't think she meant it like that...
I've had to actually put boil in my ShortHand (boyle)because I could also never remember how to spell it correctly. I really think she was just trying to help you stay out of QA harm's way:-) We're here to help each other.
Sorry, this was meant for OP n/m

I meant CNA,
not CAN. Typo, oh my!
Yes! This is what I meant!
The system is not smooth at all. You cannot always control the cursor ... It puts sentences at the bottom of the page that are supposed to be in the middle of the page...and there is a LOT of editing...and this was supposed to make me faster! HA!
meant to put a
little face in there but just have to use your imaginations!
This is what I think she really meant...sm
I work for a mid-size company. We have hired MTs from no experience to OMG experience. Some have worked, some have not (don't care about the experience). However, we have hired some MTs that had worked strictly for hospitals and this was their first at-home job. Needless to say again, some worked, some did not. The big problem that I have personally dealt with when dealing with an MT that has only worked IN a hospital is that they do not have the concept of being paid per line (not having worked that way previously), they do not have charts to review so they can figure things out and the biggest thing is that SOME (not all) hospitals do not care as long as the doctors are not complaining about the work. SOME (not all) of these MTs go to work for services where there is actual real QA and their work is just not up to par. I am not talking about BOS rules either. I am talking general standard of medical transcription and putting out a 98% or above correct in dictation report.
Meant to say
I have been working as an independent contractor instead of for. Am trying to get ready to drop of some medical records and cheer up Ms. Very Unhappy at the same time!!! Multitasking!
Put under yours, not meant for you
Meant for the one who is blowing her own horn.
LOL--meant sometimes they GO in there:-)
I meant THINK of this.
Any feedback on the idea is appreciated. Thank you.
Did not mean Sue, i meant OP. sorry..nm
xxxxxxxxxxx
Meant to say, look for another IC job
while keeping that one to supplement your income. As an IC, you decide how much you are going to work, so if getting quite a bit on one, then don't work the other.
meant to add
pardon the mess . . . I'll admit that is part of what took so long, but I just decided to heck with it! LOL!!
I think kt meant
on a line. If have 650 characters in a document, that is equal to 10 lines (650 divided by 65 = 10 lines), then multiply that by whatever your cpl rate. If 0.10 cpl then that would be 10 lines x 0.10 cpl, which would equal $1.00. If 6500 characters, then that would be 100 lines x 0.10 cpl, which would equal $10.00.
Sorry . . . meant (sm) above

what I meant was -- sm
she should probably have upgraded to 2003 long before now. I realize that some companies platforms are not compatible with all software, but 2003 has been compatible with most companies for many years now. I also know that 2007 is not compatible with all companies platforms. just saying 2000 is pretty old already and may be should have gotten 2003 before now. It won't be long before most companies are 2007 compatible and 2003 will be kicked to the curb, as well. Just my thoughts and opinions.
Sorry, I meant to say hit Control-Alt-UP

I meant IF.. MQ has own board here.. others will want too
nm
okay, but I meant, what if you use it personally?
...you know, on your own, without telling your employer. That is what my friend meant, too. Say I am transcribing for a company, and on my own I use the speech recognition and set it up to type my reports for me.
That is how I thought some people were getting these huge, incredible line counts. Not so with this poster, she already told me she is not using it, but I do know there are some who do.
Where I used to work, they were always praising these mass producers, too, in newsletters and E-mails, letting everyone the phenomenonal line counts, and I would think, hey, I can not even get work, was always running out, doing 4, 5, 6 accounts and struggling through the specs and accents continually...
That is why I brought it up, I wondered if perhaps some MTs were going that route to get ahead...
Thanks for your post - I am GLAD to hear you think it is more troublesome than anything...(except good for lowering our pay, huh?)
