version of most forms from the IRS.gov website for free. No need to buy anything or pay anyone.

Yes... I already have Adobe
but when I tried to install it that way it said not enough memory on my computer! Yikes! So I'll stick to using it this way. Thanks, though :)
How do you fill out forms in Adobe Reader 8.
I am referring an MT to a company I work for and to get the referral bonus I have to fill out this form in Adobe Reader and E-mail it to HR. Well, I don't know how to do that. One friend said to copy it in Word and fill it out that way. It won't let me do that.
Every program I bring up is Adobe. All my desktop icons were my IT icon.
But to bring one up, it was the Adobe Flashplayer. I have needed a PT job for two months and cannot apply as Vista is not compatible. Also, ExpressScribe is incompatible with Vista so I could not take the tests. OMG, I paid 1600.00 for this (my first laptop Dell 1330 XPS) on 2/19 and have already had to have a system recovery. Now, nothing will upload and I am told my hard drive has the Conficker virus embedded in it; I am waiting for a new hard drive as I type this.
This totally sucks. Vista has rendered my computer useless. Dell does not sell XP anymore and even if I could get XP, it would not work in this particular computer. Dell is being very unreasonable, stating that even though it has been just over 30 days, I am stuck with this Vista and just "deal with it."
I wanted this to be the last computer I ever bought. Now, it appears not to be true.
Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
To Becky
Well, I do not do it as a second job or supplemental income. And I make a great salary. It CAN be done. Stick with it, kiddo.
Thanks Sis and Becky SM
I sent him an e-mail and told him that I felt that 12 cents a line was a fair price. He sent me a sample Word document of his work, and I showed him how I would count it and told him how much that particular job would have cost him.
If he thinks its too much, that's okay. I stay busy with my full-time job and 3 kids.
Thank you for all of your input! :)

thanks Becky
man are you brave for having your name on here!! I have received some nice e-mails and I don't care if someone calls me slimy. I was just amazed to see how many people are really struggling. Frankly, if I couldn't get but 1000-1500 lines a day, it wouldn't be worth the torture. you know when I first started, we got paid by the minute. there was a girl in the office who did 200+ minutes a day and everyone hated her. everyone but me! she was my idol! she was my goal! we became great friends and I picked her brain and pushed myself until I made my goal. it was hard hard work but well worth it. and about the girl who said I should help people for free. that's a great concept but I am only ONE person. I don't have the time to answer hundreds of e-mails or phone calls daily and try to help every person individually. anyway.......
Becky's question
Becky, this is all a tempest in a teapot. I have earned a great living for many years with MQ. Don't listen to the naysayers and doomsday folks. I don't plan to go anywhere. I went from IC to FTE and am very happy. Cheer up! Jennie
You about pegged it, Becky. nm

Ditto what Becky said but I want to add
What the clients are charged is none of your business. The MT company has a contract with YOU telling YOU how much they will pay YOU. That is not dependent on what the client pays the MT company. Their contract with the client has nothing to do with you and what you are paid.
Becky, I've been an IC for seven years now without
any type of liability or error insurance at all. As the other poster said, the physician is the one that's responsible for reviewing and signing off on the reports. If you don't believe me, go to Google.com and type in "transcriptionist sued" to see how many lawsuits are out there where doctors sued their transcriptionist. Zero. It's not going to happen. Besides that, technically you are a SUBcontractor for softscript, so it's their butts that are going to be on the line no matter what your employee/IC status is. THEY are the ones that signed the contract with the hospitals or physicians, not you. Also, if you search the MTstars archives about that company, they don't get rave reviews. You can find a better company where people actually know what they're talking about.
Oh Becky, get off your high horse.
Your holier-than-thou posts get really old. Can you say 'uptight'?
Whoops, I see there is another Becky. I will now call myself SM
blu since that's part of my screen name anyway.
Becky, email me and let me know what print it was and I'll send you out another one.

Hey Becky, I think the owner made it pretty clear that Christmas is celebrated
don't like it, why not visit a site that is all about what YOU believe in? You're making such a fuss on a site that embraces Christmas, do you understand that? The owner said she respects others for what they believe in, but that doesn't mean it gives you an engraved invitation to put others down for what they believe in. You're just making yourself crazy by reading the pro Christmas posts here.
Becky, I found your email. I will send out another Crow's Gift tomorrow morning. It will be seale
Download antikeylogger from download.com.
I haven't tried it yet, but it's got good reviews and a 10-use trial.

Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.

You can download
Express Scribe for free if you need it. It works great.

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know where to go to download the sony digital voice Editor 2? This is supposed to be a free download. I need it to start a new job, and I can't find it. Help anyone?
download
Rebecca,
Are you the former surgery tech? Just curious because I saw your previous emails. No matter. I don't know where you'd find what you're looking for, but I just want to say congratulations on the new job!!!!
download
yeah, t'is I. thank you very much NN. it's an oncology account. don't know too much about that but I'll give it everything I've got.
Rae, what are your download and ...
upload speeds, and what satellite company are you with?
You may want to download
The voice file onto your hard drive first, and then load it into Express Scribe.
I did download it, but
I cannot get it set right as far as rewinding back far enough. Any hints? Thx.
where did U download it from? NM
Thanks all I will download it!
nm
will need to download...
This has happened to me before. You will have to go the website and download the codec in order to play you wav files. Cannot remember how I did it, but once you find the download you should be fine. You could just do a search on Express Scribe codec to find the download.
Good Luck---I use Express Scribe also.
download them
yes, you need to download them. Create a folder on your desk top named something like voice files. Then download them to that folder.
Download again
Have you tried removing Express Scribe and downloading it again?
I use this website:
http://www.nch.com.au/in/ggscribe.html
Then go to near the bottom of the page and click:
Download Express Scribe for Windows (Primary Server - zip file)
Some of the other downloads cause the problems you are having. Let me know how it goes.
I have tried that and I can download it....sm
but they said I have to be able to play sri files which you have to download additional stuff to do. I tried that and still wouldn't work. Then she sent me her version she uses and it had that gid file on it and my computer said it didn't recognize it and couldn't download. So it isn't just ExpressScribe, it is other stuff too to enable sri files.
Try a download at Download.com
They used to have a free recorder that would work on the PC...and would be wav file which works in Express Scribe
Wow! That is awful. My first download did take a
but NOTHING like what you experienced (maybe 3-5 minutes instead of almost immediately for me).
So it probably really depends on where you live, etc., and no good way to predict just how bad it would really be.
Were your ADT searches really bad too? Probably took me twice as long as usual, so pretty frustrating, but not totally unbearable. And the fact that the other reports were downloading in the background while I was working on the current one did make things go smoother than I had expected for the short period of time I lost my DSL and had to use dial-up.

upload/download...
i know nothing about wireless -- but with DSL mine were taking only about 15 seconds when i signed on. Then i got a replacement machine and it was back to about 5 min to do the initial upload. Tech support said there were problems with the new DQS version, so my replacement machine was reverted to old version. Don't know if any of this is helpful, but that's all i can offer...
You do not download the program onto the
floppy to transport, just your active working file which is called a dictionary file (SPF I think.) You download the program onto your computers and then just transport the dictionary file between them.
You can increase the amount a floppy can hold by creating a directory (or directories) on the floppy and then copying the files into the directory. If you do not do this, the computer has to put all the extra data required for a directory file onto each file you load to the floppy.
So, on your a: drive, you create a file called SH. Then copy the dictionary into that file. You can copy multiple dictionaries onto that file if you want.
You can download to computer. Yes,
if you have a license, you can put it on all your machines. Then you just copy the dictionary file onto a floppy and carry it with you and load into the machine you are using.
Stedman download sm
It is very simple and they remind you each day you have X days left, 10 in all. They don't list a price but I am told it is $179, don't know. Works very well but they should post their prices.
This may be funny, but you have to download something.

I tried the sylcount download too and
I did not care for them. I went with Spellex. Good program. Don't have to save files to any rtf. format, just doc. works good. They have a free trial too.
where did you download the files too. Look for wherever
they are, desktop, my documents, etc. Not sure what program you are using to try to get them to play, but you can download ExpressScribe free (google for URL) and then pull up reports out of where ever they are.
You can't download it free any more. You have to buy it now. NM
"
Thank you. I did not download it but I still cannot find it. sm
It is just when I have to turn up the volume to hear dictators who don't speak very loudly, then it hurts my ears when I forgot to take off my headphones while spell checking, etc. Thank you though.
I use scribe.net and then download
it onto express scribe. It works well.
Download from Medquist
I think the original poster means the download Medquist made available for employees. I'm not aware of the BOS being made available in that format by those who hold the copyright.
Download ES and see. If not, you can always Uninstall it. nm
s
correct, so that others could download them. nm

Yes, I did download the codec,
but it still didn't work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I just clicked on it, it downloaded, I clicked open, it says it's installed, tried a .dss file, shows 00:00 duration, and then Express Scribe deletes it. I don't get it.
I'm having my tech guy look for free conversion programs, but he hasn't found anything yet.
Download them wherever you want onto your computer - sm
presumably into a file on your C drive. I download from Metroscript into a folder I have called MS voice files. Then I just open my Bytescribe, and then open up the file I want to "open" and play. I am sure you can do it the same way with ExpressScribe. My folder is not in the Bytescribe folder, it can be anywhere on your computer. It is not hard to do. You can set MS up to download to the same file every time though so that makes it a lot easier too.
You pay them quarterly. You can download
forms from IRS website. If you have a spouse you can have extra taken from their check instead of paying quarterly.
