MT week, did anyone receive recognition from your place of employment?
AND, have you ever done anything for others that are MTs? If you work for a national, ever send them a basket of cookies or anything for MT week? Do you really thing curiosity killed the cat?
First, you need to remove 4 screws to replace/remove your hard drive. (sm)
Once the screws are all removed, the hard drive (4 x 4 x 2) is sitting in the bottom of the cage. This won't always be the situation, (some really cheap cages are open at the bottom, so the instant the last screw is removed the drive drops if you aren't holding on). Oddly enough, this is the most critical stage of replacing a hard drive, in the sense that removing the drive through the case where the ribbon cables are bunched up and over the CPU and heatsink is most likely to create another problem. If the cables are long enough, you can leave them attached to the hardrive as you slide it out, but don't try pulling through a mess, clear a path first. If you are discarding the entire unit, dont worry about being gentle handed.
You don't need to remove the key, remove the shortcut assigned to the key
in the customize keyboard dialog box.
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
edited to say should be adapter
I spelled adapter wrong. It HAS been a long day.
Most places can tell who has edited
a report, whether the MT, QA, or other personnel. I had a physician actually go in and change something on mine which was not correct. I saw that it had been changed and contacted my supervisor and she was able to tell the physician had changed it, not QA. So there are things in place most programs that can tell who made what changes.
It would be 3 cpl on corrections to edited
I do not know of a company or a platform that credits typed corrections on edited reports at a straight transcription rate. Of course, that does not mean that there are not any out there, just that I have not heard of any.
At 3 cpl, your production would have to be incredible to make decent money, especially if all you were doing was editing.
I've edited your message. (SM)
Stop the name calling. You can disagree but must post respectfully without name-calling or other such tactics.
In actuality, if the report is edited in any
go after your initials as being the one who edited the report. This does not happen, but I think it should. This way, the ultimate responsibility for that edited report falls on that person and not the original MT whose initials are first. Wouldn't you agree? 
Your reply was to an edited post

I don't look at edited reports anymore. Not only do
what WAS a correctly-typed report, they also can't seem to even agree with each other. Take the word 'disk/disc', for example. If I spell it with a 'K', it'll come back corrected to be spelled with a 'C'. So, when I start typing it with a 'C', a different QA person will send it back as incorrect.
If you try to call them out on it, (which of course you have to do through the supervisor because there's no way to contact the Holy Ones (QA), they just standy by their QAs.
Anyway, I'm not paid enough to have QA's snotty attitudes raise my blood pressure 20 points. It just ain't worth the aggravation.
You're right about number of errors, too. I'm sure those QA people come nowhere near a 98% accuracy rate, based on the junk they send back to me. They seem to get all anal-retentive about tiny little things that really don't matter, and not what really matters: A correct, easy-to-read medical (and legal) document that makes the doctor look good, instead of making him look like a fool.
In my experience, every company I have worked has only edited
reports that I send to them with blanks or questions, which is probably less than 5%. From reading these boards, I get the impression most of the work from India needs to be edited. So you would think if it needs so much editing, it would not worth it. But maybe not. Who knows - we'll just have to see. If doctors complain about the quality that would probably slow the offshoring down.
Since your work will have to be edited for a while, expect 5 to 6 cpl realistically.
if you took one of the better courses and did not get placed, then you should expect an increase in that line rate within WEEKS of hire, not MONTHS. All the MTSO should have to do is see that you are getting the job done then raise your line rate. Good luck!
edited to add I have checked ebay and amazon

It's true. You have to be reassigned a job to get the voice again. Jobs can't be edited once s

That was hundreds of thousands of WELL-WRITTEN and WELL EDITED letters

I have a microcassette player with an edited tape of dictation that
No, really, I keep it with me because I get these questions and responses ALL THE TIME. I got so fed up with trying to explain that I just pull out my recorder, hit play, and then watch the looks as they realize that can't understand a single thing the dictator is saying. Now, THAT, my friends, is PRICELESS!
I edited MT with mistakes in template,told bout

He's just yanking your chain. Has ever edited the train wreck that is left

The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
You only remove the ones you want to remove
the one with the i-d-i-o-t remark in it as you had already been asked to do.
Did they remove you from one account (sm)
and put you on a more difficult account? It could be the bait and switch. They might save the other account for favorites. 
I have about 20 little hairs to remove. About how much

I had to remove one from the kitchen a little
It was the middle of the night, as I was walking towards the kitchen, I noticed the snake (maybe 14" long, maybe 2" in diameter) side winding towards the refrigerator. I am a nature person but only to a certain degree, so don't want the snakes in my home or any reptile for that matter. I bent down as far as I could with my arthritic hips, scooped the snake up into a dust pan with my arthritic fingers as fast as I could (which wasn't very fast) and walked it up my very steep driveway towards a nearby drain. I didn't want to kill it, just get it far away from the house as I could. I never heard from it again. However, I have bird feeders near the house and maybe that is why I had to even deal with it being in my home in the first place. Not much of a reptile or insect person. I remove the lizards from the house too instead of killing but will spray or destroy insects.

Potatoes might help...Then remove them.
Good luck.
They had to remove "American"
from their name because it's no longer an American association - but where is the integrity the claim?
Remove Spyware...
The best method for removing Spyware is called "Spybot Search and Destroy" It is available from downloads.com. http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10804822.html that page will start the download right away, it's a safe link. It is also a free program. Spybot will clean the PC, and when you run the "immunize" program it will keep things safer. Also if you install "Teatimer" which is included, it will warn you if something is trying to make a change, such as a website that tries to change your home page or add to the registry. Teatimer can become annoying when you are installing software though, because it pops up every time the new software tries to make a change to warn you, and you have to click "approve change" if you're in the middle of installing something.
On another note, I have found that just running Firefox instead of Internet Explorer has saved me from many problems as well.
My 2 cents.
I cannot remove DQS for a year now
I have been unable to uninstall DocQScribe for a year now from my computer.
Has anyone else had these problem or can help me remove DQS from my computer.
I have already tried to removed from the program's list under the startup button as well as the add/remove program section. I keep getting an error message not allowing me to remove the program from my computer.
Thanks.
TIA.
I went into add/remove programs, then had to go into
start and search, and it still was coming back. If you Google you can find out how others have gotten rid of it also, that helped me a lot. OMG - that is awful, isnt it, that message that keeps coming up haha,
happy 'deleting'
MT employment
I would be interested in getting into any kind of MT employment. 
Employment
Hi Cheryl - Can you email me at deb@medicaldictation.com?
IRS says I owe $$$ for self-employment tax (sm)
I just received a letter from the IRS saying I owe over $7000 for 2003. It looks like they say I owe self-employment taxes for that year. I was an SE that year and employed by a national. Is this a mistake? Has anyone else had this problem? I'll call or go to an office tomorrow. I'll be up all night working anyhow, but heck knows what I'll be typing while I contemplate this...
Again SE do not owe self employment tax. nm
:
That is what self-employment tax is for - sm
as stated below you fill out a schedule C and a SE when doing taxes; this takes care of your FICA (SS) and Medicare payments.
Self-employment
Just wait and see what happens. Don't panic yet. It is not worth it financially, but worth it for the flexibility. I just gave up 10 years of being self-employed and flexible to go inhouse for a sure job.
Ugh, no. I would remove it from the house if I dared.
I do have to keep books out of the office, though.
Administrator: Can you remove the link for me?
I put the link for the Spheris article below, without realizing how long it was! Can you remove it as it is distorting my page?! Thanks!!
I use Registry Mechanic and it does remove--
old and unwanted/unneeded registries from your registry. What you saw was probably just an advertisement and had not actually run a scan. It is good to have a program that does scan and clean out your registry though, as it frees up much needed hard drive space and keeps unwanted invaders that creep into your registry unknown by you when you visit other sites. I don't know anything about the program that was advertised to you though. Just my experiences.
how do I remove page break?
in MW Word. I should know this, but apparently I do not. Thank you.
Self-Employment Taxes are different, hun.
If you're getting a paystub, you're not self-employed so I don't know what you're talking about. Small business is taxed heavily in California.
employment opportunities
Have you thought about getting into medical record coding? I have a friend who went back to school at age 59 and is now coding and she had no medical experience at all -had worked for Nokia and Motorola for years and got tired of the layoffs - she loves it other than getting the overseas dictation to decifer - but that would be easier for you as an experienced transcriptionist. It's just a thought - but you would probably breeze through the course or might could find a hospital that would train you doing ER coding.
self-employment taxes
Can anyone tell me how much I need to pay for self-employment tax? I'm thinking about taking a position as an IC and I don't know what percentage needs to be taken out for taxes. Please me tell what ya'll are doing. Thanks!
SELF-EMPLOYMENT FANTASY
Am I living in a dream world thinking that I can actually find clients that will allow me to establish the rules by which I will run MY business? Or, does being successfully self-employed in this industry mean that I must allow the clients to walk all over me? I am flexible to a degree, but just want to be able to set limits while still being able to make a living. Maybe I should find some other industry?
You can remove the built-in shortcut from the Insert key. sm
Go into Tools, Customize, then click the Keyboard button. Scroll down and click on All Commands in the left window. Scroll down the right window and click on the Overtype command. Click on the command in the current keys box, then click Remove.
Can someone tell me how to remove a word from spell check?
I'm using ExText (Word based?), ran spell check, and accidentally clicked on 'Add' (adding a misspelled word) when I meant to click on 'Change' (to change it to the correctly spelled word). I know, I know, I shouldn't be using the mouse, I should be using the Keystrokes anyway, right?. LOL
But now that I have a misspelled word in spell check, how do I remove it? Does anyone know? TIA!
Check EBay for the tray. Think can remove

why not remove your resume instead of voicing disdain? NM

Remove Service Pack 3 and go back to
Service Pack 2. I had nothing but trouble with my computer with SP3. I do not have automatic downloads turned on. I go over to the microsoft.com website occasionally and see what is new for downloading. I choose the custom settings so I know exactly what is being uploaded.
Start
Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
Find SP3 and remove it.

It depends on employment status.
When I was an employee at the hospital, they paid for my phone lines. As an IC, I pay for my phone lines. I've only worked for one company that required me to dial into their system using my phone line, and that didn't work out due to constant phone calls bouncing me off their system. Now I just have one phone line and DSL, so I won't work for a company that wants me to dial in to a Lanier.
