You don't have to open a post to see how many

I have no idea what post you are talking about though.
i cannot open ANY post -- just me??

when I open your post
Who is that guy - your husband? Cute.
Thanks for this open and informative post ...
It seems that now getting your own accounts is the only way to go (at least for the time being until the pervasive mood of the industry corrupts even in that area). My curiosity though lies in how those who are claiming that they work for services are able to do this.
Also, congratulations to you for your success in getting your own accounts, and thank you for sharing your insight in a manner that doesn't imply that you're trying to belittle those who don't have their own accounts like I've seen others do on this board.
P.S. On the matter of panhandlers, in the area of the country where I live an investigative reporter did a feature on just this subject a couple of years ago. Believe it or not, it was estimated that panhandlers in this area average approximately $120K per year. I tell you, I'm in the wrong profession ...

I read your post below and not that anyone cares about my two cents, but it sounds to me SM
that your DH is having an allergic reaction to something, especially from the red blotches and swollen lip you described. Sounds like hives to me. My son has had several episodes like that and a trip to the ER is always necessary. Especially with the swollen lip whose to say his throat won't close up? People die from anaphylaxis. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, but I'm pretty familiar with anaphylaxis and allergic reactions. My son, a teenager now, carries an Epipen with him at all times.
Good Luck!

Up North, experienced, educated, well-rounded MTs.....sm
are making $19.76 hr average plus incentives, production bonus, and bennies....I loved working in-hospital, but right now I have family situations which must come first...no amount of money to sacrifice their welfare.
You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it.
In response to the corporate minded
It's more like they are endeavoring to make up for their greedy management oriented mistakes of the past. The MTs are who make the money for the company as you seem to forget, when they are gone, there will be no company. The mass exodus has only begun.
Why are narrow minded comments here okay
if s/he were standing in front of you? Obviously many of you do not personally know many people of other cultures, loved them and their cultures. Advocating violence borders on embracing the mind set of the KKK or neo-Nazism.
More is the pity.
that was a judgemental and closed-minded comment

Consider yourself lucky to have supervisors who are fair minded.
dd
you sound completely narrow minded....nm
Good for you, Carol! If you are business-minded, go for it.....sm
I have had 3 friends who have done the very same -- I even worked for one of them for 2 years while the company got off the ground. If you can marked yourself/your service, be shrewd and confident, and have the time and energy/focus for bartering contracts, etc., you can really make great money on your own. I have not attempted it yet because of raising kids, and now have my elderly mom who just was widowed. And if you feel you need some business help, my friends all got mentoring through the Small Business Administration, they have former business owners who will actually come to your house, plan strategy, give you tax tips, and so much more. It can be so frustrating working for other companies in this business, all the best!
My attitude is production-minded for all involved
I have worked under some absolutely wonderful, great MT managers in my many years doing this job and watched myself and others working under them flourish. When I managed transcription I took steps to do the same from that experience. Is that a bad attitude? I don't think companies are "out to get me." I think many are disorganized and ignorant of the everyday workings of transcription and the MT pays the price for it. My current assessment of disgust for what I am seeing now being called management of transcription is not good, and I am not the only one who recognizes this downward trend. The difference in the past few years is day and night.
It's not personal. It's fact. So I'll take your personal insult with a grain.
It wasn't just a kid issue to start. He is a weak minded

Sorry that you feel that way. Not all Christians are narrow-minded or bigots!
Yep, you are right, there are starving children who cannot eat a Bible; and did you know there are missionaries over there who do bring them food?
The reality is we are HERE and not many of us CAN go there. This subject matter was about abortion. If you believe in God, and I most certainly do, then you have to believe that His Word is Truth and is to be obeyed! God has a purpose and a plan, no doubt about that. He know what He is doing and He has a reason. It is not for us to question, just to obey. In the end we will only stand before Him for what WE have done, no one else. Yes, there are hypocrites who claim to be Christians and probably go to church every time the doors are open, and I would rather go to church with SOME hypocrites than go to hell with ALL of them!!
Supervisors are a token figure-head for the weak-minded
who need guidance and approval. Why would anyone keep anybody who needed constant help on doing their job employed. I know my job and what is required. No one at this point in time can really advise me on what to do although as NEW supervisors come and go, they do give it a shot in order to justify their jobs. But they come and go and I stay. Buy a clue.
Well your statement sounds equally closed-minded to the one you're arguing with
Where one person prefers to live and why is their own business and no reason to diss someone else's personal choice.
12 cents. I'd love to make 12 cents. sm
a line as an employee. 17 years acute care experiencing doing all work types and I only make 9 cpl plus incentives.
How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?
8 cents versus 9 cents
Wait a minute....9/55 is to 8/65....would not 9/55 be significantly higher pay than 8/64 (spaces are not counted in either case)?
8 cents a line. Should be 10 cents for over 10 yrs exp but

Going to keep this in the open

I Already Open it
Please Tell Me How I can Remove it
Okay, this should be open to all MT's...sm
Thanks for bring me up short. This question should be open to all MT's, especially those working for other companies. Tell me what you like as well as what you dislike. If this comes about I want to try to fulfill those dreams and requirements as well as make a profit. I'm not greedy - I believe it sharing the wealth. Again, I want to get and RETAIN great employees!
Open
Express Scribe and click on Settings. Click on Files, and un-select the work file types you want the other program to open.
Or, open the program you want to use, find the equivalent settings in it, and then make sure the file types ARE selected.
This is what I was saying....the box does not always open.
My question is how do I manually open this box when it does not show up in the background or anywhere else. Thanks
Why do you want to open this?
If you don't know what this is, you probably don't need to be messing around with it, especially if you are being taken to a website that wants money to fix it for you.
If nothing was wrong with your computer before, you probably have no reason to need this. You didn't say how you ran into this, but in the event it is a scam, why don't you leave it alone.
AN OPEN NOTE TO MTS
1-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when in screening applications 20 of 25 resumes are full of errors, typos and people applying that do not come NEAR to fitting the job requirements.
2-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are hired to work hours YOU REQUESTED and then you do not even bother to start work, call, email, just nothing.
3-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are tested and screened only to find out that several "friends of friends" circulated the test around and while you do wonderfully on the test, now in the real situation, you can not figure out the difference between discrete and discreet.
4-Do not wonder WHY you were given less and less work, but take a look at the quality of work you produced...full of blanks, not formatted to specifications in the manual sent, skipped reports. When Q*A has to redo 90% of your work, it is easier to quietly phase you out than to continue to "train" a supposedly seasoned MT
5-Do not wonder WHY you were taken off an account, but look at the feedback you were given regarding the continued mistakes with spelling (you do not use the spellcheck as too time consuming - your words), continued mistakes with doctors signatures, names, formats, phrases. Your position is to "pound out lines" and not worry about the quality.
6-Do not wonder WHY no one will hire you...after all, MTSOs communicate with each other too and the same names just seem to cycle through
7-Do not wonder WHY companies look overseas for workers...because at least THEY want to work. They are not taking days off at a time with no notice...leaving a company and client in the lurch.
8-Do not wonder WHY your resume was not answered...you applied before, were tested before and never bothered to answer emails regarding hiring...never bothered to start on your start date...resumes are kept and note made of why someone that seemed very qualified was not hired.
9-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired...remember me? I am the one that tested you, screened you, then talked to you for quite some time on the phone interviewing you. Remember me? I am the one you "sold" yourself to as far as being ethical, good worker, etc., only to find out that you received the hiring package, then contacted the client directly and suddenly, you did not want the job and then I see you are working FOR THEM....
10-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired after taking the test...take a look at the test results and the responses back you made like "that is how I have always done it" and I do not think you are correct because that is not how I was told or trained to do it.
11-Do not wonder WHY you were quietly let go...check your invoices and the inflated lines and/or hours on there? The system SHOWS the reports you ran, lines you did, but you continue to add report numbers not done by you and lines not done by you. AND for bonus hours...you continue to add bonuses that were not earned.
12-Do not wonder WHY I cringe when it comes time to hire again..I cringe because of every MT out there that shows NO RESPECT to a potential employer now or down the road by ignoring remails.....receiving a test, but never taking it...getting a test graded and offered position but never responds back....going through entire hiring process with access codes, start dates and times but then NEVER even starts...or the ones that we PAY a computer guy to get set up and they never start working...or we send software and equipment to and then never get it back or have a legal fight to get it back.
There are two sides to ever story, this I know, but as an MTSO the above are simply a FEW of the hundreds of things experienced in trying to hire just ONE good MT....
How do you open up that .lex file to....sm
copy/paste it into MS Word? When I try opening it, it asks what format do I want and every option I've tried hasn't worked.
Open Shorthand
Highlight the entry you'd like to get rid of, then hit the little trashcan icon in Shorthand to get rid of it.
open your pea brain :)
he comes from the ghetto, his family still lives in the ghetto, he's trying to help kids in the ghetto......and you want him in a TIE, TUX, and TAILS? He is dancing for a charity. That's all he's there for. To get $$ toward his charity of helping kids in and around the ghetto.
Perhaps you want him to dress like the late Fred Astaire?
Get real.................
It certainly is a thorn! Don't open any of it, though.
That's why I got concerned, and still concerned even with this SpamBayes, as there could be a virus in some of it. Also, hackers may be trying to get into your stuff, maybe all they need is for you/ me to click on it and to get information, don't know all of it, but I won't open any of their stupid email.
We did our last one over an open pit for hours...
and it was sooo yummy. It was so tender.
Unscrew it, open it up, and sm
splice it with scotch tape. You won't loose much of the sound on it.
Open mind
With all due respect for your opinion, people from all extremes of thought, are what make this country great. As Americans, we should question everything our leaders do. For too long, politicians have tried to conceal information, or conceal an agenda from the American public. The public is growing up as a whole, and it is becoming wise to the manipulation by government, and those in charge of great power. There is great danger in this, and we should not become a complacent society. We should not be expected to accept explanations so easily, and create a society where we are not allowed to explore issues. Michael Moore is every bit as American as you or I. Many people do not like the policies by our government. Many people will speak out against those policies and protest. That does not make one anti-American. It is because many of us, including Michael Moore, who I may not necessarily agree with, have strong feelings about being an American that we protest what we feel goes against our definition of what America is about - freedom, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. This is the problem today, which I find disturbing - many people pledge unquestionable loyalty to our leaders who have too much power and abuse it, and then there are those of us who feel devotion and passion for America's ideals and constitution, and protest any sense of suppression from government. Remember our founding fathers, and what many suffered and sacrificed. They rebelled against government that was too harsh and unfair, and fought to uphold their freedom. This is what America is all about.
I am open to all suggestions.
I have not removed it from the system but my boss should be in touch with me on Monday. They installed and I will pass that by them. BTW, have you had to removed and then reinstall- have you had any problems? I have XP with 1.5 gig and the other - not sure but had installed what computer person there at company suggested and still horrifice problems.
You have to open it and read it.
It's a hidden prize...
do u HAVE to open it - it has adware! - sm
WARNING: WinZix is advertised as a compression tool however it appears from analysis of the files produced that it simply adds information to a file so that WinZix needs to be installed to access it. The program contains an adware component that must be installed with the program and the EULA for that component says you cannot use anti-adware software against it. In addition, use of such software may damage the component and make it difficult to remove. FILExt has removed links to this software and advises that you install it AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you receive a "compressed" ZIX file you are advised to warn the sender and ask them to resend the file in a more conventional format (e.g., ZIP). .....
Open Message for ALL MTs - sm
Happy Medical Transciptionist Week to each and eveyone of you. Your dedication to your profession is, in my opinion, admirable. I wish I could do what you do. The knowledge you carry with you each day, the amount of patience and attention to every detail is beyond belief. I cannot imagine getting up out of bed every day and doing what you do each and every time you sit before your PC. I am a mere radiology/Diagnostic Imaging MT. They tried to cross-train me for discharge summaries, clinic notes, psychiatric notes, etc....and I almost went out of my mind. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you all and for all you do and know how to do. I just wanted to say this to you during MT week, and wish you all the best. My hat is truly off to all of you. You all deserve to take a bow!!
Sincerely.....
re open message
Thank you so much. After having a very frustrating day with my acute care job, it is so nice to hear that. Please don't discount yourself. I also started in radiology. I then went to a medical group and three years later went to acute care. It has been three years since starting acute care. I thought I would never get it, but I worked hard and am hanging in there doing a more than fair job.
just like people who don't NM at the end to let you know no need to open! NM

Open office
I am saying the same thing as I need to set up my laptop. Someone told me that Open Office is compatible with Microsoft Word products - can switch documents between the programs. I have gotten as far as installing it, but have not figured out anything further as of yet. If you check this out and find it works for you - tell me how you did it!! It has everything in it like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Database - so hopefully it will work out to save us all some money - it is a free program.
