60 bytes equals a 60 character line. SM
If you have a document that equals 30,000 bytes you divide it by 60 to get 500 lines. If your line rate is 7 cpl, you have made approximately $35.
They used to do this years ago, before AAMT came out with the 65 character line standard. It all works out the same way eventually.
Auto Recovery will not help. She saved over the original and closed the file.

It's kilobytes in DOS too. nm

Bytes
Do you have any material that one can refer to study this method? Any input on this would help.
Thanks
What's with the A, B, and C sizes?
I was looking at them on Ebay. I didn't know there were different sizes. Depending on the size of your butt I suppose? I have been wanting one for forever, too.
How many bytes equal a line?
I need to find out how many bytes equals a line. Any advice would be helpful.
To be EXACT 1024 bytes = 1KB.

$1.50/1000 bytes (about 9.75 cpl/65c w/spaces)NM

You must have purchased them a few sizes
'cause you are really wiggin' out.
well, 'clients of all sizes', yes, this is too
funny, thin, thick, overweight, obese, morbid obese...? What do theymean? LOL!
But I have seen worse.
Bytes versus characters? Does anyone do their billing this way? sm
If billing by bytes do you divide this by say 65 (standard line), same as for characters? Thanks so much.
But we're not paid by bytes anymore..sm
in case you haven't heard lately, am I am being honest about it. We're paid half of what we were paid 10 years ago, salary is going down yearly on a more or less geometric level...this is line by line, got it?
RadioShack has several sizes of these right in the store. nm

11 cpl gross equals what on a 65?

Any body has heard about counting lines a 60 bytes?
I thought line counts was characters or keystrokes. I have been approached by a MT company who say they charge as "bytes". Does anyone know how we count using bytes?
often feel like my bra is 2 sizes too small by the end of my shift
and occasionally have to take it off, which is really a hazard (think Dolly Parton). LOL
And make sure the pants aren't 5 sizes too big! sm
I've seen so many teenaged boys go for interviews wearing khaki pants.....but khaki pants made for Fat Albert. Drives me nuts.
LOL!! Yes they are sizes like small, medium and large - sm
I have a B (medium) and it is very comfortable. I got it when I was 130 pounds and now I'm much larger at 190 and it is still as comfortable. I believe the A was a lot smaller and the C was just huge - felt like I could get lost in it.
Celeron equals ssssllllloooowww!!
They are so pokey, don't waste your money. Might be okay for grandma to play games on if she has trouble with keeping up, but will never work for transcription.
I do about 20, equals about 1000 lines. n/m

Opinions please, which work type equals $$$?
Who is making the most average rate per hour? Radiology MT's, ER/Clinic MT's or Basic 4 MT's (DS, OPS, CONS, H&P).
Thanks!
We had two different sizes. The problem is they tend to flatten out instead of standing upright. sm
So if you buy one that says it is 42" deep you really only get about 36-38" deep out of it. You are better off to buy a different kind of pool. We bought one that is a kit, but has a frame to it and is much, much better than the ones with the blow up ring. It is made by Intex and it is blue also, but made of a tough liner type material. It has a metal frame that you build (only took 45 min. to put it up)and it actuall stands up like a real above ground pool. Very nice and not much money..about 350.00 at Walmart for the whole kit, pool, filter, et cetera.
On average 1000 minutes equals how many lines?
nm
How about 1 cent a line being cheap. That equals only $10. for 1000 lines which
is really not an incentive to work either. Why not make it more like time and a half, i.e., if you normally make 10 cents a line when you would get 15. They could even offer 1/4 pay incentive so you could make an extra $25 to work a holiday but the $50 would certainly make me think more about working a day when I usually wouldn't. Yes, it would cost the company more but I'm sure more people will be working that weekend for such an "incentive."
approximately how many minutes dict. equals 1000 lines?sm
When I worked in-house, I pure typed all day (8 hrs) 1/2hr lunch..2 10-min breaks and we were applauded for 70-100 minutes (we weren't paid by line but by hour). We didn't have Expanders and such..no normals..just typed. I don't know how many lines I produced, but 100 minutes dictation was a lot of work. Now it seems everybody looks at 1000 lpd as low normal.
Might be some tips on foodtv.com. Most big cookbooks also give portion sizes and party info. nm

Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm
I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank. When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

Are you working in DOS or Windows? In Windows, it's Kilobytes.

...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
I just have it saved...sm
in my ShortHand under degrees and it expands to the symbol.
Here's how I saved $$$$
I don't use tapes! The only special equipment I bought was a foot pedal. I have my own 800# and no phone bills! I pay a small monthly fee and a per minute charge for the time my docs dictate. I keep more of my money than ever before. Email me and I'll give you my resource.
you just saved me $$$$ thanks
you just saved me $$$$ thanks
Thank you Anne!! You saved me. I think you are right!!!
You are welcome...Another1 Saved!!!

this saved my marriage
check out flylady.net - there is a lot of information there, so be patient and read through it...it will give you a different perspective on housework and make it easier on you, even if he does not pitch in. i had to learn to stop nagging my husband about the housework and just do it because i was grateful for my home and wanted to see the floor every now and again :-)one great thing is that, by biting my tongue about the housework, he slowly came around to helping because he was grateful that i was keeping the house nice for him.
also, getting rid of the clutter one step at a time will also help your husband's mental state - too much chaos is confusing for him. i have a mental illness - manic-depression - and having my house in order by following simple step-by-step routines that are written down so i don't have to think about them - just follow the list - has calmed me down considerably and left time for me to care for myself like i should. you will be helping both of you by slowly, step-by-step getting the house together. getting this will help your dear baby by leaving the floor and other areas clear for him to crawl around and do what babies do :-) without all the confusion of clutter.
flylady.net made me more loveable by cutting my tiredness and crankiness (because you clean in small steps that do not exhaust you). It also helped my mood, giving me the self-esteem that comes from tending and blessing my home (and, therefore, my husband) by keeping the clutter at a low liveable hum instead of a screaming mess.
one more thing - try to remember daily why you fell in love with your in the first place. trust me, he is still in there (i was). it was through the committment of my husband to stick by me and tell me all the time that he loved me and wanted to help me that i finally began to love myself again. sure, i still have my days, but they are fewer and farther between, and don't feel so heavy with his help around the house (minus my nagging) :-)
i also want to say that Jesus turned my changed my life - literally gave me a new life and turned me in a totally different direction than my life was taking - took me out of my self-destructive ways because He showed His love to me. i am praying for you. you are hurting right now, and so is your husband. i pray that your hearts will be healed and your love will come back. remember that you created a covenant before God and your families to stick it out through sickness and health and your husband made a covenant to stick it out through messy house or clean :-) blessings.
Good for you. lol Saved the day!

money saved
I so agree with this. I only have to gas my car up once a month---which is a huge savings by working at home.
control-Z has saved me
on occasions where i've hit a wrong key combination and screwed up a report royally -- but you cannot hit anything inbetween the screwup and the control-z....
I have this list saved
(as a 2-column document) and then every now and then will print out 10 pgs or so at random. Then, when I'm watching TV, will scan through them to see if anything jumps out at me as something I should add, or trigger an "aha!" Then I make notes and add them to my Expander using my system.
30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

Visit this website - it has SAVED me! - sm
I came across "FlyLady"... it is actually a website "family" that HELPS get this time and CHAOS under control. Things DO get out of control, and it slowly kills us inside... depressing us. This website helps you take control of your time, sets up 15 minutes a day ONLY to work on your "zones"... one week you are in the living room, then maybe the master bedroom, then the bathroom and another small room.... this disaster did NOT happen overnight, and you cannot expect yourself to get it straightened out overnight. Things get out of hand, but this website family can truly help... I did it, and within ONE MONTH my household was finally manageable, and I could open my door to anyone who came to visit... my friend and her husband came to visit me after a month of FlyLady work, and her husband just said "It just feels home-y to me. What did you do?" A MAN said that, and he didn't know what I was doing. It is very cool, and encouraging, and strengthening!!! There are e-mails sent several times a day for reminders to hop up and do a 5-minute "hot spot" rescue (hot spot being a spot in the house where it seems to get out of control).... take an hour, cruise the website, it is SO much fun... and DON'T FORGET TO SHINE YOUR KITCHEN SINK!!! IT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE!!!
See an accountant. I'm sure you saved your old income tax

Find the template where they are saved.
Usually, this is the normal template, in which case you're looking for normal.dot. Save that one to the flash or floppy.
If you read the Word help file in Word, you will get detailed, step-by-step instructions. I have found their instructions to be VERY helpful as I am a tactile learner.
I have older versions saved.
If this poster (or anyone else) needs an earlier version, I have setup files for both 4.15 and 4.02 available. Just shoot off an email.
A lesson I learned a long time ago--always have a backup plan.Whenever I download a new program and after setting it up on my computer, I save the original set-up file in a folder called, amazingly enough, Downloads. Then, when a newer version is released, I also save it (usually with the version number as part of the name) in the same folder. That way, if anything goes wrong with the update, I have the old setup files to fall back on.
