Glad I found Oracle and thanks for your response, it is helpful!

Michigan.  I live in Texas.  There is a clinic nearby me hiring MTs to work in house.  I went and interviewed yesterday.  When it came down to me asking her questions I found out that the in-house job was mainly editing speech recognition.  She out sources all the standard transcription work.  She has some ICs at home that do some things to.  I asked her if she was planning to do away with the MTSO and bring all the work in-house and hire locally.  She says her goal is to convert all files to the speech and do away with the MTSO. 

I just wished they would understand it would be better for the economy keep the money here and not outsource to places unknown.  When I worked in-house for a hospital, I referred several friends and family to the doctors I worked for, whom otherwise would have gone elsewhere.   Employees are the best advertisers there are.  Not everyone pays attention to billboards, TV ads, radio ads.  I usually tune it out myself if I am not interested in it.   The local hospitals are more capable of doing things that the locals don't know about so they drive elsewhere.  But I think they all see black and white. 

The latest posts I can find on Oracle are from a year ago.  They seem all bad.  This makes me nervous, as I have just recently been hired by them, but now Diskriter is calling me.  What do I do, any ideas.  It seems Oracle will be very flexible with my schedule (this is a very big deal to me) and I will be working on an account with hardly any ESLs, acute care hospital (hard to believe).  On the other hand, I do not get supplied a computer (which I am used to) and this is a little inconvenient.  Diskriter seems to be more strict on their scheduling, but supplies bennies and hardware, so now it is up to, who is the best?  Any comments (yes, I know this is a loaded question, but just go for it, K).

Hi, does anyone know any facts about oracle transcription (OCI).  Is there enough work?  How is the sound quality?

Thanks

This is also very interesting...Gives me a lot to think about! THANKS A MILLION!

Thank you so much.  I have learned a lot from all of you, and I have plenty of ideas to try out.  I also got some great tips about the nickel allergy, which is wonderful as well.  That one has been around for a long time.

I will be making an appointment to take him to see a dermatologist, but in the mean time, I will be trying out some of these things and see what happens.

THANKS TO YOU ALL

I need very wide margins for the header, but if I change the margins for the body of the letter, it also changes the header.  How can you get separate margins for the header and the body of the letter?

Thanks again!

I didn't know the search key would pull up the desktop search.  Did you know Microsoft has a free update for their desktop search function?  It's nicer than the original, way faster with more features.  Not as many features as some others but it's fast and you can pull it up with one click, even though it pulls up the whole program instead of just the document.
