Has anybody had any experience with this. We have a company providing this close by. We only have dial-up and satellite has such bad reviews. I am trying to research any possibility.

Fixed wireless
I looked into this in IL when I lived for a short time in a rural area -- VERY expensive and if you rent, its a hole and mounting "a permanent structure" -- also, you are locked into a contract with that as well and not everyone has radio towers available or in the area -- frankly, the newer cards are a better alternative.
Fixed wireless works well
If you're talking about tower wireless (like a radiowave wireless type), as long as you have it set up to receive the signal well (requires high enough antenna)then you should have a nice, clean connection.
I just got fixed wireless broadband
And I love it! No lag like satellites. I thought I'd never get broadband since I'm a mile from the nearest house but this is a very nice connection.
I'm using a fixed wireless broadband connection
And so far, so good. The tower is just across the cow field, though. I haven't had any cutting in and out and I feel like a kid with a new toy since I'm able to watch You Tube, etc. now. My provider (SEIdata) came and did a site survey before installing it first and told me I had an excellent signal. They put a small box on my roof and ran cable to my office. I plug into an Ethernet modem and I can WIFI it with a router if I want to, too.
I've heard mixed reviews on the "cards," but I would recommend fixed wireless if you have a provider that does a site survey and installation.
I might have fixed it....
After I was able to get the links to show up again, I then saved the page in "Favorites" (deleted my old link that was there) and now when I click on it from my favorites, the links are continuing to show up on the left side/blue area - so far. LOL. We will see if this lasts now. :D
I really think it is fixed! sm
I tried voting for Chris on Tuesday night and I could NOT get through at all! I honestly believe that they did not want to send Katherine home because that has the potential of losing the male audience! How many guys sit around and want to watch 3 guys sing? I truly, in my heart and soul, think the entire thing is bogus. Although, he is really and truly talented and I think he will definitely be selling records in the near future, which I will gladly buy!!!!! JMO HE SHOULD HAVE WON IT ALL!!!!
Thank you so much... I fixed it.
It's Fixed Now!
Thanks for notifying.
MTStars Support Team.
Thanks we fixed it.
It was on my kids computer; not mine. My daughter was playing a game, and the letter keys wouldn't work. It's a Logitech Cordless (cheapo) and I downloaded software from the site, and then my son pulled the plug on the optical eye, plugged it back in, and it now works! Thanks.... Everyone!!!!
OE problem fixed!
Just wanted to let you know that I just did a restore (a quick 10 minute fix) and my OE works fine again! Apparently I had some corrupted files. I was very hesitant on trying this in fear of files I might lose (particularly work ones) but everything appears fine so far.
I am just So upset that I wasted SO many hours trying to fix this!
Here's how I fixed that...not to say it will work for you.
I work as an IC for a large service. I went through the misery for about two weeks after getting a new doctor who was either too lazy or too clueless to give the demographic information needed. I swear that I spent as much or more time looking up old reports if the dictation was for a followup, etc., as I did typing the darn report. I said forget this. Every time he left out the SS#, MR# number, DOB, or did not spell a name, I used my highlighter on the tool bar and typed in "not given". It took him about one week of getting reports back to his office where one of the office staff had to look the info. up or give the report to doctor to fill in missing information. I made him as irritated as he made me. About one week later, and to this day, he very rarely misses any pertinent info. I ran this through the MTSO before I highlighted, and explained to her that when I ran my own service, there is no time or tolerance for doctors who fail to give pertinent information on an important medical record. Any MTSO who pressures you otherwise to waste your precious time on this is not worth working for! Good luck to you!
If not identified, it will never be fixed!
I don't want to crucify them for making an error. I want the error to be known, noted, and corrected in future editions! I also want to be aware of any other known errors in this publication so I will not bilindly follow the book and make the errors they are providing, considering I have PAID for their PROFESSIONAL guidance!! Is that unreasonable?
Hey, got it figured and fixed!
I went to the Nuance/Dictaphone web site and looked at their information base and lo and behold, there was the problem and solution. Apparently it's common with Windows XP or 2000 and they recommend a particular file download, DPVoicer1132.exe. I did that and ran it and after rebooting, problem fixed!
Thought maybe an update might help someone doing a search on here in the future.
I FIXED IT... see link...
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101055371033.aspx#1 I followed these instructions, and wahlah!!! :)
I will print your suggestion as well. I watched a demo on Word earlier and it is so "full" (for lack of a better word). I am so impressed with this edition!!
Thanks to all!!
The problem is fixed.

macro - fixed
between windows & mac, something got squashed in the file name reference. Let's see if it pastes cleanly now.
Make sure you create a text file c:
eplacetext.txt and put the entries in the format specified
findthis|replacewiththis
teh|the
mjsmithx|Michael J. Smith, MD,
HIPPA|HIPAA
etc....
Note - if you want to change the file name or location, change the corresponding OPEN statement in the macro below. Also, if you want to change the delimiter character from the hardcoded (single pipe) value to something else, change the delimchar line below and the text file accordingly.
You can insert this into a module in your normal document template -- or in a specific document or template if you don't want it in Normal -- post here if you need more details
This will run through every entry in the text file and make the corresponding replacement in the target document.
Sub replacemulti()
Dim TextRaw, FindText, ReplaceText As String
Dim delim As Integer
Dim delimchar As String
delimchar = "|" 'Must be a single character for this version.
Open "c:
eplacetext.txt" For Input As #1 ' Open the find/replace source file.
Do While Not EOF(1) 'Loop until end of file
Line Input #1, TextRaw 'Read file, one line at a time
delim = InStr(1, TextRaw, delimchar, 0) 'Get the position of the delimiter
FindText = Left(TextRaw, delim - 1) 'FindText = text to left of delimiter
ReplaceText = Mid(TextRaw, delim + 1, Len(TextRaw)) 'ReplaceText = text to right of delimiter
'Do the replacement
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = FindText
.Replacement.Text = ReplaceText
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = True
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Loop
Close #1 ' Close file.
End Sub
Thanks all. I got it fixed but have no idea how. Think it had to do with my keyboard though! nm

problem with mail fixed
This morning when we tried to download our messages, nothing downloaded. We tried our WebMail function, and got a "Unidentified Server Error". So we thought attglobal.net was temporarily down. Waited till 10 am, and still the same. We call AttGlobal support, and they got things back. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Obviously it is not fixed if Norton keeps detecing it...
mine keeps detecting it as well. It will stop for a couple of days and then start in again.
I would like to know what the "glitch" is exactly...
No, had that fixed a long time ago!
No CAD for me, will buy my own CABG.
At an old job we could return work we did not want, but then they fixed their platform so you could
so it is probably only a matter of time before all companies do that, smart thing to do but yes it does cut into your paycheck if you get a horrible run of bad ESLs.
never mind, his smart wife fixed it.
I fixed it. Some days I really get tired of making them look

Has Spellex fixed all those weird entries yet? (sm)
Doesn't DocQScribe use their word list? I remember going crazy trying to delete all the Brit and Ozzie terms. Um, hello, I work for American docs who get peeved when 'color' is spelled 'colour.'
Oh, good! Maybe they fixed the problem. I'm going to check right now. Thanks!
:)
Oops... well sort of fixed! Geez...
I am learning as I go, so forgive me. I was able to add the normal.dot BUT autotext doesn't pop up when typing as it did with 2003. I obviously need to learn A LOT more :(
Thanks. I think I have it fixed now. I will print your instructions in case I have another -sm
one of those days in the future which I am sure I will!!! Thanks again.
No, not zipped. I was missing a Codec file - Fixed now! Thanks anyway! nm

I'd get the riding mower fixed pronto, granted - sm
push mowing 3 acres is probably great exercise, but it must be a bit time consuming. I used to cut 1.3 acres and it would take about 60-90 minutes on a riding mower, and that is with a house and pool in the way; can't imagine how long it takes to push mow 3 acres.
Thanks y'all. Changed hot keys and that fixed the problem. nm

mine stopped doing that weeks ago. I believe the glitch is fixed. NM

Auto backup has to be fixed through the call-in system
Go under keypad menu, and then fix the auto backup space or through the Transcriptionist ID settings on the setup. Also, the dictation system should have a separate code/key for larger rewind to hit.
Hope that helps!
Yup, mine did that a few years ago. New battery fixed it right up. Be sure to write down your setti

My "techies" come to the house and most of the time get it fixed here. They built the computer

Bkea1985 - Did you get your chipmunk problem fixed with Express Scribe? sm
If not, did you see my message below about trying a different Wavplayer, such as Bytescribe or any other wavplayer. You can usually download a trial (know you can with Bytescribe) and see how that particular voice file sounds with that.
I am laughing so hard, I swear I fixed my 'pot' (for potassium) expander, and it came out pota

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.

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.
