Static in digital dictation file
I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem. The dictator is using a Sony, (dont know what model, but it is only about a year old), which uses a memory stick exactly like the ones used in the Sony cameras. I think he uses a microphone that he plugs into it. There are times when there is so much static I cant understand anything he's saying. Other times, it sounds very very clear. I know it isnt my equipment. It's his. I think this happens when he's moving around. Background noise doesnt bother me, I know it isnt background noise I'm hearing. I can tell the difference. Does anyone else have this problem? And is there some kind of filter that he or I could buy to clean this up. I'm using Express Scribe and tried their noise removal program, to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I do tapes and digital. And I was told if I'm not logged into the digital system, they assume I&
BUT she wants me logged into the system by 9:30 a.m. So I'm confused too. I've decided that I may come back to her and just say I'm not going to do the tapes anymore. I hate the tapes anyway. The voice quality is horrible, it fades in and out. It takes me twice as long to transcribe their tapes than the digital.
Transferring SH
Is there any way to transfer SH to Autocorrect? I know you can transfer AutoCorrect to SH, but about the opposite? I am working for an institution on AS400 and they will not allow me to use SH, but they do have AutoCorrect. It seems ridiculous to have to rebuild my dictionary to AutoCorrect when already built on SH. Waste of time and energy doing this. Any suggestions greatly appreciated:)
Wow. I'd be transferring to a different school.
And discussing it with the school board and principal. Or finding an alternative program. Your son needs to be challenged, he's bored, and he's got way too many study halls. I really don't know if homeschooling is the option he needs, though. Maybe just a more structured environment with fewer problem kids. When there are already anxiety and depression issues, isolating one's self is not necessarily a good thing. We also can't teach our kids to "hide" from difficult situations, even though I'd like to live in a Utopic gated neighborhood where only caring people with morals lived. No jerks allowed.
I didn't read the rest of the responses because there were so many. We're considering private school for our middle son because the kids with bad attitudes are interfering with the learning process. He also has emotional issues. It all started when we had a sudden, unexpected death in the family. Yesterday, he was upset because the kids were picking on him about his hat and his music choice for a leadership program skit. One of the kids even came to our front door and was jeering at him, but the little monster didn't know I was sitting right in the kitchen until I stuck my head out and told him to bugger off. The private school has scholarships and monthly payment plans available.
transferring files
I do not have them in separate folders. I have all of them in the doctor's folder, from 2005 to the present. I was looking for something that I can just do with a few clicks.

I want to thank you for your help. It went much faster. BTW you don't have to use the explorer. You can just open up each folder and minimize so you can see both.

Which is the best way to transfer digital files? Right now we have CyberSynch. I have purchased a new laptop and we are having to upgrade and will cost a little over $700.00 for three computers - thanks!
Transferring autocorrect to new computer
Hi all,
I have a file of my autocorrects that was forwarded to me from the old computer I used. It's file extension is "acl", e.g., MSO1234.acl.
Can anyone coach me on how I can convert the acl to a text file (the format I believe it's supposed to be in) and then load it? I was directed to some file converter programs, but none of them worked.
I saw that someone had previously posted and gotten a reply to this question, but the answer given did not work for me.
TIA
Transferring files information...
Hi, I am looking to expand from my one-person business by adding a couple more people. The files I send will be accessed via WAV pedal. I know with the laws and such you aren't supposed to send files via email, but was wondering what the best route was to go with. Can anyone direct me to a reasonably priced (and dependable) FTP site or are there other ways this could be done besides using ftp sites? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Transferring my ShortHand expander to another computer... Help!
I have gotten permission from my company that I can transfer my ShortHand abbreviation Expander to their computer. I have saved everything to CD. I had to downloaded the new ShortHand Program to the new computer. Someone care to give me step-by-step process. Thanks! I must be doing something wrong, as when I try the file conversion, it says "source and destination cannot be the same." I was saving from the CD to the program on the ShortHand file Programs on the C drive
Transferring Express Scribe files
I would like to work from my laptop sometimes, but I am not sure how to transfer the audio files I downloaded from WinSCP already from my PC to the laptop. All I need to do is transfer the audio files. I know how to transfer files that are finished in Word back to my PC. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Use a secure method of transferring files.
Encrypted email for delivery of completed documents works, but voice files may be too large for that method. A secure FTP site, either your own or through a commerical provider such as mydoconline.com or ftptogo.com, would work for both documents and voice files. You may need an FTP program, but there are lots of free ones out there, like filezilla.com, which is what I use.
copying or transferring Extext expanders
I'm moving to a different MTSO and would like to copy all (probably 20,000) of the expanders/abbreviations I've created over the years. Hopefully, I can copy these on to a disk and transfer them to the my new MTSO, which utilizes Bayscribe. It wouldn't be much fun having to re-create these. Help, anyone?
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Transferring Bayscribe Productivity Tool into Word
Does anyone know if it's possible to make the Bayscribe Productivity Tool work in Microsoft Word? Or at the very least, transfer the expansion list into Word's expander?
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.

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.
an .exe file is not a voice file
I'm no techie, but it sounds like they might've sent the wrong file by mistake. Or could it be a program you need for testing/working for them that they sent? What is the name of the file (if it is something you can say here)?
Transferring Auto Correct/Auto Text
I work in Word currently and have a large number of AC/AT entries. I am moving to a platform that has Instant Text or Shorthand. Is it possible to transfer these entries as a file somehow, or am I going to have to enter by hand? Also any comments welcome regarding the ease of use, etc of Instant Text versus Shorthand.
Thanks

I am brain dead also, since I've been away from the "job" due to husband's illness. I do not see any replies on here. Please forward any good info to my E-mail. Appreciate it. Turn your back around here and technology changes, zap!
Going digital
Hi,
I read your post and was wondering if I could get in this thread? I don't have my own accts yet, I work for a small national and a large national. However, I am seriously thinking about getting my own accts. Before I go looking, I thought it would be good idea to have a digital system in mind and ready to set up.
One idea that I have seen that I found really interesting was in the Transcription Gear Catalog. There is a 2 page spread about their idigital system. This is a toll free dictation ASP, very similar to what the nationals have, I would think. With this system, you pay for the minutes that you will use during the month. Has anyone else used this type of system? Any thoughts about it?
digital
I have two different setups for digital. I have an internet based call in system, which allows me to set up Transcriptionist to receive the work directly to their systems using Express scribe and I also have a doctor who uses a handheld digital recorder that he uploads in the evenings and sends the work to me through Magic Vortex......There are several great companies for you to check out. RTKING, JAY VANCE, START STOP TRANSCRIPTION are a few good places to start with. There are also other options for sending and receiving work, such as FTP sites, Hypersend, Magic Vortex and many more.

I switched to my 5 accounts to digital using Jay Vance with Vance Digital in March. I absolutely LOVE it! Wish I would have done this 5 years ago! e-mail me with any questions.

How on earth do you print to the docs? Do you both have to have the same WP program and do you supply them with a printer? The offices I worked with were too lazy to even take the tape out of the tape recorder, "not their job" so I gave up on asking them to do "anything at all" as they were so lazy. By the way, thanks for sharing, not too many are willing to do this; would rather play their hand close to their chest. You are a wonder! Thank you!

I'm doing digital for my client and it's wonderful--no more traffic jams. They use Olympus handheld dictation devices. We use hushmail to upload the dictation and transcribed reports so they are encrypted and HIPPA compliant. It's fairly inexpensive -- I believe $30 a year. One nice thing about that you can be anyway to pick up your files as long as you have internet access. I've often taken my laptop with me on vacation to cover emergency work. Not that I want to work on vacation, but it makes the client feel better knowing you can access the work.
If you want to go digital this is what I did
Purchased DocShuttle Admin ($300) and DocShuttle Client for myself ($99), had doctor purchase DocShuttle Dictator ($99) and an Olympus recorder ($129). Rented FTP site (about $45/yr). Set up DocShuttle so once dictator docks the recorder, it takes file from recorder and erases recorder, imports into DocShuttle, goes to ftp site, posts new dictation, pulls off old. You may want to go to Bytescribe's site though and see if the program they have for doing it by email would work for you. If you are the only MT and they are the only client, then do it by email. Email me if you need any further clarifications.

i went with transcriptiongear.com and have been very happy. you can email me with questions.
for those new to digital...
FTP stands for file transfer protocol. An FTP program transfers files (uploads and downloads) from a virtual warehouse on the Internet, called an FTP site. FTP sites are rented by size. FTP programs are free or cost a fee. You can post ANYTHING to an FTP site. You can put your's kid's first grade picture there. You can put your resume there. You can put your back up data from your Quicken there. You can put a love letter there. You can put a .wav file there. You can put a MSWord document there. You can create folders there. You can password protect your ftp site and some software allows encryption, different levels of user permissions, etc. Once it is there, anyone who has the password to your FTP site can then go and pull it off. i.e. TRANSFER the FILE. So if your doctor dictates on a digital recorder, downloads the voice file into his PC, then uploads the .wav file to the FTP site, you can go to the FTP site, download the .wav file, transcribe it, post a .doc back to the FTP site wherein your doc can then go to the FTP site, pull the .doc off. Voila!

Hello
My doctors use Olympus recorders. One doctor does well with the DS-10. The other uses the DS-330 (No longer in production). The DS-330 has the advantage of overwriting. For instance, if the doctor makes a mistake, he can back up and record over what he has already taped; however, this was a disadvantage for my other doctor, who taped over his entire morning of dictation by accident by hitting a wrong button. It depends on the doctor. With the DS-10, you cannot tape over anything. If you are sending the audio files over e-mail, you should consider first encrypting the file for confidentiality reasons before sending. I use e-mail, because it is free, and it was easiest to train the office staff to use. There is a free software program, ZipGenius that will encrypt your files. Yes it is free. When getting a handheld, you want to consider the types of files also. A .dss file is much smaller than a .wav file or a mp3 file. That is also why I went to Olympus recorders, because they record in .dss format, which makes for much faster upload and download times. If you have other questions, please e-mail me. Also as one poster has already said, the express scribe software is great and free as well. I bought the recorders. They have already paid for themselves in gas and time.

You would have go go digital
If you are doing digital for a national you already have the foot pedal if not then you will need to get one that would transcribe the type of files that will be sent to you, wav or dds. I don't do digital just the tapes but from what I have read you would need to get an FTP set up going so that you can transfer the documents and then if you have your pedal, you should be set to go. So just send out flyers/brochures giving your experience and stating what you will provide and go for it. But you will be a little limited since you only are available for digital and don't pick up and deliver back printed material. You might be able to do overflow for some local large clinics. Some might require a C-phone to dial into their equipment. Good luck.

I have a couple of accounts that I go daily and pick up tapes/deliver. One of the docs wants to start sending me dictation via computer but does not know how to go about it. I must admit I have no clue. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

 What about encryption when sending through an email?

Hello,
I need help from anyone that can write in and give me suggestions. I was just approached by a physician that has 4 in a group and they want to go digital and have me do their transcription. This would be a great opportunity as I have just lost 4 of my accounts to outsourcing to India, so I need all the help. They need to know how this can be set up. Do they need a FTP site and do I need one? What kind of system do they need and all the basics. I am sure the easiest and cheap way to do this over the internet the better, as you know physicians-HAHAH. Also if Patty is on any information from you would be appreciated. I have this weekend to work on this and give them a proposal on Monday with the costs. I know what to charge by line as I am an IC already; I just need help on the way to get me the files and for them to send. I presently do tapes and pick up still. 
Thanks Everyone in Advance!!

Hi Luvdigital,
I just posted on board. I was approached to do a large 5 DR. account, but want the easiest and cheapest way to do this digital way. I have some questions as your way sounds easy. 1. Do you have the software on both of computers, the one Dr sends and yours? 2. Do you send just by email or to a FTP site and can you send to FTP after? 3. What is this DDS Player? 4. Do I need a foot pedal, what kind? I have to make up a proposal this weekend, so info is needed ASAP! Thanks again for your help. I would love to land this account as I have lost 4 accounts to outsourcing to India and need this badly, so the easiest and cheapest would work and I not very computer sassy, so easy is great for me.
Thanks,
Mary Lou

Thanks everyone that wrote in with suggestions about going digital. I have a few questions about the brand of digital recorder. I researched the Olympus, but do you recommend the ones that have editing capabilities or not, as I am unsure what this really means. Any other types that your Docs use would be helpful.
Thanks!!
digital
I think you misread me. I am landing the account. The Drs are paying for it all. I just need to know what recorders are the best and cheapest. I also need to know what wav pedal is compatible with Olympus. They are paying for the FTP sites. They just wanted me to research everything and give them the prices. Sorry if I confused anyone.
If there is not a way for them to go digital
I would at least seriously look into a way to have a delivery service - I used one myself 10 years ago....... most areas have them - they send the tapes in a locked pouch and you sign for it when you receive it and visaversa if you have to print out work and deliver..... it can be compliant - you just need to secure the information - these companies are bonded.... time on the road is costing you money big time lady!!

Do some research here.
Going digital, again.

Sorry, the link didn't post. The tricks are to get your doctor(s) to give up their old recorder(s) and learn to use the new one(s) and also having office staff able to download the recorders reliably and retrieve/print the reports/notes, etc...You will love the convenience, but if you're in-house it still won't help locate patient charts (LOL)
going digital
I also want to go digital, but don't know the first thing to do. I also have 2 doctors that I am picking up and delivering tapes for. Thank you so much.
digital...me too!
Can you please email information about how to go digital cheaply??? Thanks!
Digital...
Why don't you investigate going digital and cut down your overhead ever further? No gas, no paper, no ink...etc. Worth some thought.
Digital
The situation I had was my account brought in a "consultant". HE decided that we all needed to go digital. It got to the point with some of the doctors that they had to "hide" the old recorders/tapes so that they had no access to them. It finally worked, they are all on digital and everyone is happy. I love it. I can't believe I actually drove around with tapes and completed work - when did I ever transcribe! If you go on it, you will love it. Change is always hard, but if you want to compete in the marketplace - that's what you have to do.
