I downloaded the Shorthand Expander trial for 30 days.  I like it a lot and am thinking seriously about buying it, but now I wonder about FlashType.  Is it really just like Shorthand?  (if so, I could save $30 with FlashType).  Can I convert my Autocorrect terms to FlashType like I can in Shorthand?  I tried to download FlashType several times to try it out, but I can't open it (something about "proper license not found." 

I have about 20 days left on my Shorthand trial, so I'd appreciate your opinions about both programs.  Thanks!   

I have a new computer!  Yea!.  Now I need to get all my Flashtype information to it.  What do I need to do?  Do I need to purchase another program for this computer and if so how do I get my stored information from the other computer?  I can't imagine that I would have to retype all my information again.

Thanks

Does anybody know anything good or bad about this company?  I am looking for a good MT employment position, and I have been burned before (by Voice Systems--they don't pay!).

Well, I just got offered a statutory position at MDI-MD, but the huge packet of policies, acceptable acronymns & abbreviations, etc. (8 attachments!) plus having to set up a specific testing time with proprietary equipment and specific tech help is a bit daunting, not to mention having to submit a schedule 2 months in advance!

I have satellite as my only option, so that limited my choices of accounts, too.  I am apparently going to get an account with a high percentage of ESL dictators.   .  I can't TELL you how tired I am of thick accents and having to edit the grammar of ESL dictators. 

In addition, I must learn to use their BayScribe with its own word Expander instead of being able to use Word with Smartype. 

Is this all worth it? 

I would appreciate any feedback, good or bad (hopefully with details) on MDI-MD. 

Talking about teens. I heard on the radio the other day that some teenager, I don't know the age skipped school so the father made a sign that said I skipped school and my father is making me stand here.  He made her stand on high traffic road for 30 minutes.   Most callers said they applauded him.  

I feel better that I am not the only.   I starting to think that she is getting cold feet about going on to college. 

I've checked in with my LT colleagues, and they're echoing what you are saying as well. I'm considering it a gross error and landing those applicants in my Delete box.

Thanks!!

on my job situation at the current time.  I underwent major foot surgery (right foot) on 04/10/07.  I was off on surgical leave from then until 07/16/07.  My doctor did not want to release me back to work until 07/16/07, but my FMLA ran out on 07/02/07.  My place of employment gave me the run around about extending my FMLA but they did.  I have been back to work transcribing (I am the supervisor and senior Transcriptionist at a local mental health facility) now since 07/16/07.  Every evening my foot swells so bad that I cannot sleep. It throbs and hurts. 

I asked if I could work just 4 hours a night for the next month to transition back.  My supervisor said she did not care; however, my HR person stated that it would affect my insurance, which is based on fulltime status. 

Here's the main problem.  There are rumors that they are going to get rid of in-house transcription (I have been here for 15 years).  They have already hired a service "to help us", etc. 

I would like to just work 4 hours a night, or maybe even have my doctor write me an excuse, but with having used all of my FMLA for the year, my job position is not secure, especially in light of what is going on. 

Here's the cincher, I have an FMLA person who calls off all the time, and she seems to be protected (insurance, etc.).  This woman is just dead weight in my department, but I can do nothing about it because she is protected under FMLA.  I had to use all of my 12 weeks of FMLA up at one time due to my surgery.  She takes hers here and there, and every pay period receives one day of PTO; so, her FMLA never seems to run out.  I am feeling as if I am being treated unfairly here.

I need insurance as does everyone, so I do not want to jeopardize my job position, but my foot is absolutely killing me.  Again, this was a major surgery and I do not want to mess my foot up working for these ding-dongs that do not seem to care, that I sit with my right foot up on my desk with a pillow underneath it and an ice pack on top of my foot, while I try to transcribe with my left foot. 

This is just utterly ridiculous - - any suggestions as to what I can do here! 

I'm tired, !@#%#% off, and just plan fed up.
