Also, the custom sheet has to be specific..when we sent easter eggs..12 large eggs with jelly beans, 24 medium plastic eggs with jelly beans..etc. there are rules about what can be sent..for specific countrys..I'll look for that now.

Gold touch makes a keyboard without number pad. Also the evoluent keyboard has the number pad on th
It is a very small keyboard and has laptop keys which are very quiet and light to the touch. Almost no noise.
Maybe call the 800 number? I would do that right away as....sm
this might indicate there is something wrong with the keyboard itself in which case you might need to return for store for exchange.

Add your number to the "Do Not Call" List
Not sure what the link is to get to it but its a national list that is now the law- telemarketers can not call you if your on the Do Not Call list. I'm sure you'll be able to find it if you Google it.
We also have our number listed as "private". I think there is a charge but its very small, under $2 a month (because its considered a "feature")
I call the nonemergency police number and let
My name isn't involved. They just state that there are complaints of noise coming from that apartment.
I've never had a showdown with anyone over this.
Call the police...the non-emergency number
most communities have noise ordinance laws. If the cops show up enough times they will stop. Trust me, I've done it. I had a neighbor that used to blast music at the wee hours. I tried the *nice neighbor* tactic of asking him not to do that becuase I have a child and we need to sleep, etc. Well, that didn't work. He worked 2nd shift and believed it was his *right* to blast his music whenever he wanted. After I called the cops a few times on him...he stopped, and I haven't heard so much as a peep out of him since!
yep..get their CMT number and call AAMT to verify.

I got the call; it originated out of the NJ MQ office; I verified the number. sm.
The individual asked whether or not I had received the letter announcing that a package would be coming my way. State the facts, girls.
ATA - here's a toll free number-- give them a call...
The American Transcription Association (ATA)

Can someone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call or an email
address. I am interesting in asking a few questions to someone there in hopes of possibly transferring but I need some info first before I go from one problem to the same one elsewhere.
Tell her what she wants to hear or she'll call you rude.
Call the cops on the suckerbill and THEY'LL know. I feel for you. nm

MMM, can you call some of mine too? I'll send a list. :)
The faster they grow, the faster then fall.....sm
Faster growing trees (soft wood) like pines, Leyland pines, Australian pines and,I would surmise, fast growing poplars -- I have trouble with regular poplars where I live -- are more susceptible to come down during a storm.
You may want to try a bush-like plant such as red tip,which does grow quite tall but stands up better than the above trees.
They think the faster they talk - the faster you type - LOL EOM

Anything on the line makes up a line even if just one letter or number. Every line of print is a

I assume you are assigned number much like a license number that can be verified through the AAMT.
Beyond that, I have no idea.
Ordering ShortHand
I hate to be stoopid, but I need to order ShortHand for the first time (it was previously supplied to me). I have been to a couple of sites, but the instructions seem to be to download trial products. I don't need a trial. Can't I just order it on DVD and pay with a credit card? Where in the heck do I go to do that? I checked TranscriptionGear, and they don't carry it.
If it is only downloadable, then fine, but I don't appreciate having 5 choices to download, none of which seem to be the actual product. HELP! 
Look at the ordering and family phys

Ordering avorites menu on www
Hi,
Over the past few days some weirdness has been happening with my "Favorites" listing: Everything was ordered precisely the way I wanted it, but I look up one day to find that they have been put into alpha order. At one point they went back to how I had them arranged; the next, they're in alpha order again.
Have no clue what I touched/hit, the Microsoft help website is of absolutely no help, and I'm going crazy trying to find things in the spot where they used to be. Don't want to re-train my eyes, my memory, or my fingers to searching for things in alpha order. It's really not useful or convenient.
Any ideas? (short of manually moving everything back into place? Thanks.

Arby's is also outsourcing their drive through ordering.
Someone wanted to order a drink and asked what they had. They were given the choices and picked one. When they got to the window the person there said, "Oh, we don't have that," and then proceeded to tell the driver what they had. The driver asked why they were given such on the list at the speaker and was told that the order goes through another state at a call center. Obviously the call center didn't know the appropirate drinks for the venue where the order was placed. Isn't that a HOOT!
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...
1 650-253-0000
New one should be faster and okay (sm)
even though the number is lower. Dual processor is faster. You should be fine!
Just trying to get faster
I was given some instruction regarding that, but I don't see how someone can be listening very much ahead of where they are typing. I don't think my brain can do that. Is it just me? It seems that would lead to lots of mistakes.
Also, it seems I take my foot off the pedal a fair amount. Is that normal?
This seems to be one of those things that is hard to get a handle on because there are so many variables. I think it would be helpful to watch (and hear the dictation) someone who is really fast to get a better handle on how it's done, but I have never had that opportunity.
Any more info that can be verbalized will be very much appreciated.

It would be faster and easier to ask
which companies treat their MTs well than to go through the masses that haven't treated people well.
Faster typing
Well, my mother insisted I know how to type, so I took 2 years (yes 2 years) of typing in high school, so my typing speed was pretty fast to begin with (though I graduated high school over 20 years ago!) I have a friend who did the "Mavis Bacon" or whatever it is called typing software and that really helped her pick up speed.
I use Instant Text and try to put in everything. I have been an MT for just under 2 years. I do acute care, and I average 260 lph. On days I'm lucky enough to get a good run of ER reports - I can easily do 350+ plus per hour because most of it is canned, and I have jump codes in my expander, so I can whiz through a lot.
Good luck!
Have shorthand too. ESP is faster as far as (sm)
for example, physical exams for certain doctors, paragraphs, things like that that are pretty much standard. ShortHand you have to wait for it to print out. That's my only experience so far. Have only been on ESP for a short time. Plan to keep my shorthand too, though unless anyone can tell me why that's not a good idea.
Why? because I can type faster than you

You may be able to edit faster than
transcribe, but you are still doing twice the amount of lines for the same pay. After some time, the VR will start to recognize more terms and require less input. At that time, you may not be needed at all on those accounts, or you will be asked to accept less money. Time will tell!
Same here...internet is faster...
and more updated. I have spent a ton of money over the years on Stedman's electronic word books and you used to need them, but now with google, MT-google, and all of the MT resouce sites, don't think I'll be buying anymore. But I can see perhaps someone just starting out... especially the Medical Phrase Index is a big help to new MT's. Wish that reference was on a CD.
I'll go! I'll go!! I won't take hormones and will be ready to defend your honor :) n/m

No. It'll be the most expensive magazine subscription you'll ever get, and it's unnecessary

OK. I AM REALLY GOING TO BED NOW. GOODNIGHT.
I did for a few months. I can type faster.
It wasn't the thing for me.
Don't laugh... Some men type faster (sm)
than some women I know... They grasp the medical concept terms, etc. very quickly... So ladies...Watch out we may get more men in this field!!
Because DOS was much faster program to work in

Faster way to rerecord tapes
Is there a way I can rerecord tapes quicker to computer by playing tape double speed then slowing it down once finished?
Any suggestions on speeding this up will be appreciated. I have a lot of tapes to rerecord. BTW, my doctors do not want to use handheld units or a call-in system (for those of you who may suggest this).
so you have a platform that allows for faster editing but
not all are that way. In fact, I would venture to say most. Overall, most editors I talk to definitely make less money editing but are trying to stay alive in the MT world, i.e. segue into a job with a future?
cause is brain going faster than fingers
I don't think there's anything we can *do* about it - except perhaps proof better as we type and/or not type as fast as we are.....it's our own flaw..I think.....and every time I re-read - I find something omitted - so I'm re-reading it all :) 
Has anyone switched to Verizon isp for faster
I have dial up and that is all I can get. Has anyone switched to Verizon and gotten a faster dial up speed than the ISP they had before switching?
How can I get a faster speed on dial up?
MT NEEDS HELP
How do you make dial up faster?
I have Earthlink ISP and I have their accelerater, but I still need to have faster dial up as an MT for downloading and uploading so what do I do? Is there a way to setup our computers to get a little more speed for our jobs?
