I know! And did you see the way she jumped down my throat assuming that I was talking about HER!
Talk about soapbox. But I do agree with you
I am assuming you are talking about Sheri. What answers of hers are not lining up?
What info do you have that I do not or others? Never heard of you either, American regular MTstarser??? Strange posted by if you ask me.
Wii and wireless internet
We got a Wii for Christmas, and it seems to be interfering with my wireless Internet. No one can play Wii while I'm working until I get this figured out. I've googled this a little bit to try and figure out what the problem is, but I'm not really finding an answer thus far. I've checked the Internet connections on the Wii, and it shows 'none' for all 3 choices, so it doesn't even seem to be connected to the Internet, but it still interferes. I can't do anything at all if the Wii is being played or is on. Anyone have any experience with this or know how to fix it?
Wireless internet connection was being
advertised on T.V. last night. It showed a man using his lap top in a room saying that he was connected to the internet wirelessly. This sounds like the way to go for me who needs a vacation but can't afford to take one. Has anyone investigated this?
Laptops and Satellite/Wireless Internet
Does anybody work off a laptop and have a wireless or satellite internet connection? Just wondering because we'd like to do some traveling and it would be nice to be able to work also and not have to use so much PTO time, etc?
Satellite Internet Access - wireless?
Where are you located? I'm in rural Iowa, about halfway between Des Moines and Omaha. We are on a hill with no trees around, but there are higher hills around us, and we can only occasionally get cell phone signal. No line-of-sight for the cell towers around here. I don't really know much about wireless, though, but I'm not even sure I can get it here. I don't even know what to look for, I guess. Can you or someone else clue me in?
I hate wireless internet. I live in an apartment and
trying to get it to stay connected it almost impossible.
I've got a stupid question about wireless internet providers. SM
Simply put, I want a PCI card that I can insert into my laptop while I'm at the pool that will allow me to connect to the internet and work. I have a PCI card that I use, but can only connect through my own wireless network at home. I want to know if there are services that provide such a service and how much am I looking at spending. Basically, I want to take my kids to the pool and work while I'm there, but I'm too far away from the home network to connect and there were no other available networks in range of the pool. I tried!
Thanks!
No, they're talking about Internet phone calls, not FTP transfers.
The physicians aren't actually calling you over the Internet to dictate. You're downloading sound files and uploading documents.
Well, you know what they say about *assuming*. sm
If the OP had wanted to know those things, she should have asked. the first few other posters did not include all that stuff either and you are just picking on ME. I was not trying to *mislead* anyone and posted later on about the specifics. but now you answer a question of mine...how are YOUR gross lines coming??? or can I assume you haven't done it yet? lol. I am not going to argue with you after this post. You always seem to be stirring things up for every body that posts something you disagree with. and you always *assume* to be right, even though you are not. Your opinion does not matter to me, nor does anyone elses. I posted the truth and you did not like it so you had to start trouble. so I am ending it. drop the subject. move on. find someone else to pick an argument with. I am assuming you are not happy unless you are arguing about something anyway, so find someone else to do it with. I won't waste my time on you. go count your gross lines.
Assuming once again
Actually, I have requested information from AAMT, CareerStep, my local community college, and a couple of other places. I'm on this board to talk to actual people who do this job - not those who are out to sell something to me and claim they are the end-all beat-all for information on it.
I wasn't belittling anyone. If me stating "I wasn't looking to change careers, just make some extra cash, what are your experiences in this field" makes you feel belittled you may want to get some help with your self esteem. My goodness.
Yes, I know how forums work. Of course not everyone on here may actually be whom they claim to be, but it would at least give me a general idea of the field and what to expect. Trust me, I will NOT be going into this field. I think my general view is y'all are nuts!
Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
I am assuming there are kiddies, so (sm)
our faves are Nemo, Shrek, Toy STory 1 and 2. For adults though, just saw Sideways and it's pretty good, but NOT for children. Have fun! Sounds like a great idea! Can I come? 
assuming eye drops
Teargen
I'M ASSUMING NOTHING NEW OR SHE WOULD HAVE INFORMED US
Maybe no changes for SE
And you are assuming I am a liar when you don't know
x
I'm assuming you are in Illinois?? No?? (nm)
x
But you are assuming I never made any
money and that, my dear, has never been the case. I don’t work with you, now days no one works with others in this field. I do not have to like the ESLs dictation. I don’t care to visit India because I frankly am tired of constantly having to transcribe. Glad you are working at home doing what you like, being by yourself.
Assuming it's XP or older
Hit the Windows logo button, go into control panel, and from there click on appearance/themes. Go to choose a screen saver. From that window, the bottom half has the power saver options; I believe it says monitor options, but it will also include the options for your hard drives. In there, you can find the choices as to whether or when to shut down the hard drive, hibernate, time to turn on the screen saver, etc. Vista is probably similar steps, but I'm not sure how exactly you get to the screen saver page.
Hope that helps!
Thanks! I'm assuming that was a typo, you
meant *hook up to both MONITORS* I hope....
But thanks for giving me a starting point....I'm gonna ask about that switch the Best Buy near my house...
Thanks again!
I'm assuming you installed the software that came with?
If so, and don't laugh, did you try rebooting? I always do that first before I worry about any computer issues. If it doesn't take care of it then go back and make sure you followed the installation steps exactly. Is it the Mircrosoft Natural Ergonomic 4000? I have that and it's great...only thing I could complain about is it's rather wide, so when I do need to use my mouse, my arm has to reach a little farther, which isn't good ergonomically, but I do everything I can to avoid using the mouse anyway...oops, I digress! Good luck with your keyboard!
The advice to Google is assuming SM
that the MT in question has half a brain and can discern what is a reputable link and what isn't. Or are you saying we shouldn't assume even that much?
This is just a sarcastic guess, but I'm assuming by the line - sm
why else would there be so many mistakes. If they were paid by the hour, maybe they would spend more time on getting to know the ENGLISH language. I actually had a report come back from India where instead of the word "children" it said "litter."
You're assuming she doesn't want more children. nm
I was on it for a long time - it's generall OK, assuming it's
@
That is assuming they could even understand the dictation to begin with.
I would love to see the doctors having to listen to dictation.
I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Why? It sounds like you're assuming the generated reports contain...sm
incorrect or fabricated information. Such would not be the case in these situations.
Assuming your existing documents are based on the Normal template...
You can open the Normal template, make the changes you mention, and then save it. When you open your existing documents, they will be corrected. Hope this is the info you're looking for.
If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
wireless
I have 4 systems throughout the house on wireless from my cable company since my cable line only comes in at one corner of the house and it's way to costly to run it elsewhere.
Wireless has been working fine for me.
wireless
I hated my wireless keyboard and mouse. It was not dependable. Stopped working for no reason now and then.
Wireless
Does anybody live way out in the country like me where there is no cable, no DSL, and dial-up is a lousy 24? We just got wirelness with an antenna for the home computer. Wondering if any companies allow this for MT work. Does anybody out there work with wireless from a remote location?
wireless
I work off a wireless network because my husband and I both have computers. You have to have a very good wireless network because the transcription companies can not guarantee that it will work. The first wireless we had was an older Dell and would lose the connection very easily. We now have a very good Belkin with 3 antennas and I have no trouble. It is very frustrating to be typing along and lose the connection. In fact, with the first wireless network it would lose the connection before the program could even be loaded.
Wireless
I want to be able to move around when my granddaughter is here. My office is in a corner of the house out of site. I would rather keep the wired connection but son-in-law thinks I should go wireless. Haven't decided yet. We live out in the boonies so not sure others could access mine or not. Thanks
How to go wireless?
I am so sick of all the wires! I have a cable modem, router, mouse, and keyboard all with wires, a laptop in my house with a cable modem plugged in by Ethernet, The wires drive me batty!
So what can I do to eliminate some? If I want to use the laptop in an area of the house not near the modem, how can I use the wireless net on it if we aren't in a wi-fi zone? Would a wireless router work?
wireless
i went wireless, use a router downstairs and installed (myself) an adapter to upstairs computer.......After a few weeks of frustration, turned out the adapter wasn't installed good enough so i just had to push a little harder and all the prongs connected. Now my daughter is on wireless. I believe Linksys (what I have) reaches 500 feet.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cindi
how are you wireless with everything?
I'm a new MT and obviously have little experience. I am currently working for a hospital in acute care. This is the only job I've had. They supplied the computer, dictaphone, etc. for me to work from home. I cannot add anything to this computer, even a wireless mouse! (have one on our home computer and love it!) I just wondered what type of set up you have, or company you work for that allows you this freedom that you don't have to have the dictaphone, etc? Please give further info so this newby understands! Don't you have to have a dictaphone or similar equipment?
wireless
You can go to the website of the manufacturer and they will help. I have Linksys. Be sure to write your # down if you do choose to use a secret code. I was told that even if you don't, Windows XP etc., and your Spyware will prevent hackers. I hope so. I think we are well protected. "Wireless" doesn't mean less wires, I have wires all over the place but it's nice to use my laptop actually on my lap!
wireless
You can go wireless on your own, but you will need to go to your ISP website and get their instructions on they do it. They have help available if you need it and they will walk you through every step - do not be afraid. If you can transcribe the dictation done by the American doctor, you can set up a router.
HOWEVER, most companies will not let you use wireless. You get knocked off your network a lot with wireless, just because in any given neighborhood, you are likely to have several different ISPs and they bump each other off the airwaves, so to speak. Most MTSOs want to use an ethernet connection.
But, ask the company you are working for what their policy/preference is.
If you have DSL, isn't that on every phone in your house? Does the back bedroom have a phone?
Good luck to you on your new job.
can I go wireless-sm
I am starting with a company that is providing a computer. I have a PC with DSL in the corner of my dining room. I would like to put their computer in a back bedroom. Can I go wireless? What do I need to do? What should I be asking them about their computer, if anything? Where can I buy the router box (which I assume I will need?) Do I need a computer tech to do this or can I do it? Not terribly literate about all this. Thanks!
Wireless...
I have a router for my broadband internet so understand the principle. A router cannot make your connection faster, as far as I know...all it does is allow you to access your internet connection on another computer somewhere else in its range. I use a router so I can use my laptop for internet anywhere I want in the house and its great. But if you are looking at it in hopes of making your connection faster, I would speak with a customer rep for the product before assuming it will do that. Hope that helps!
Wireless
Thanks so much for the information. I appreciate the help.
I use USB or wireless
Gyration has no lag for wireless, and you can get a compact Dell USB for like $14.95 online. I alternate the two. I hate my laptop keyboard and never use it.
don't like wireless
I had all kinds of trouble with MS wireless keyboard both with KVM and without. Just couldn't get it to work right without throwing in spaces, etc. I gave up on it.
Does anyone know why OSi does not allow wireless?
Just wondering as this may be a problem for me.
Wireless
In some cases it works well. I kept getting disconnects and couldn't use it.
I have wireless
and used to work in eScription at my previous job and it worked great for me.
wireless
Most motels have a wireless connection.....you can go wireless in your car by using an aircard through your cell phone service. I use an AT&T aircard. Only thing with that is that it will disconnect you when the wireless phone tower changes over to another one.
