Did MQ hire supes to be cheerleaders?
Rah, rah, sis, boom, bah ! Almost makes me regurgitate when I get those imails. Also when upper mgmt sends those intro imails over and over about a new "high dollar" CEO/manager that they have hired with our monies, rather than giving us a raise and better benefits.
MQ supe is definitely not the asset it was to the MT's in the past. It is all about pleasing the upper management now -- using Excel to send those much needed reports back and forth.
I miss the supe of yesteryear!
WAV players
What kinds of .WAV players does everybody use to play voice files. I am having a hard time trying to use it with TouchType 2.
TIA.
players
I use express scribe too! Love it!
Any suggestions on wav players? (nm)
*
.dss files are not compatible with wav players--sm
They need to be *converted* for WAV players to be able to play them. your wav player may have a conversion tool within it. If it has a *tool* button, open that. It will not automatically play them and saving your files in Word will not convert them to wav files. you have to do that manually. good luck.
Are there any other free players besides Express Scribe?
I have many problems with express scribe. Hard to explain, but it stems from stopping and starting the recording just one time too many, and the express scribe "freezes up" for awhile. Sometimes I have to sit and wait for 2 minutes before it will play again. I have uninstalled/reinstalled it - no help. This has been going on for years and I am sick of it. Sometimes I have to reboot my computer to regain control of it.
Anyone know of any other free players out there I could try? Thanks!
MUST READ: INDIAN UNITS OF LARGE U.S. PLAYERS
Please cut and paste this Indian article onto your address bar. It is a MUST READ. It is titled:
A blog by BHARAT, dated 5/16/08
The BIG U.S. Players are: CBAY, Spheris, Spryance, Acusis and Heartland (a play on words and INSULTING!).
The article goes onto to say, These large players account for almost 70 percent of Indian medical transcription offshoring revenues.

No, parents don't usually sit there through football practices.
Games, yes. Practice, no. Cut the apron strings already. The kid would probably get teased with Mommy on the bench every single day watching him practice. It's just not done when kids hit middle school and high school. Let the coach do his job without parental scrutiny.
Fall is my favorite also - love Football!

Louisiana State University. Not a football fan?

I watched the game and have been a football fan for 40+ years.
excuse-making sore loser like you are.
Again, grow up.
A trivia game question mentions Colonel Sanders; younger players had
(Has KFC been around THAT long????
RAMS football, spend time with 10-mo old grandson
Yes, it is opening day for football in St. Louis, fall is right around the corner.
My grandson is at that handful stage, hard to get anything done with him around but I volunteered to babysit while his parents are out Saturday night. Hope to squeeze in a few hours Sat and Sun for work as well.
DeCody Fagg.........that's a real name. FSU football player.
Son's Football Game and Daughter's Volleyball Tournament sm
both High School sports. The busy schedule begins!
My DH thought football shoud be postponed and all stadiums opened for evacuees.

My son loves Monster drinks before football/basketball practice. I think they are nasty.
I don't drink coffee, but I have to have my Coca Cola first thing in the morning and one more halfway through day. So I guess I am a little dependent on caffeine!
Sports - 1 sport a season. Fall = football for son and volleyball for daughter. sm
Their class load and homework is enough; however, the love sports and are great at too. So, I allow one sport per season, meaning Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Fall = football and volleyball.
Winter = swimming and winter volleyball.
Spring = Lacrosse for both.
Summer = whatever they choose.
They choose what they want and if they choose not to do a sport any particular season, that is fine with me. They do not go out on school nights and their weekend activity is limited due to their sports. It works, and they stay out of trouble and both are on the honor roll.
Too many activities is just too stressful both all. My kids will tell me when they feel burnt and need a day off and I am fine with that. I tell them to stay home that day from practice.
It works for us.
Since you are new, just wait. Newbies have to wait. sm
Just because you said a "doctor's office" that narrows it down. No national work for private doctor's offices. It is all acute care. Just wait. They will let you know how you are doing.
ONCE. All day, every day. LOL Just kidding....
Or not...
No kidding...
All that wind, and very little rain... But it DID manage to snap one of my trees in half, cause another tree to partially uproot, blow a plastic baby pool into our yard, and knock over our nice swing in the backyard! Trees all over our neighborhood are completely knocked over, and this is a subdivision where all the homes have been there 2+ years! Can we say the landscapers sucked?!
Are you kidding me?
That is so low. That just makes me madder.
You have got to be kidding!
You need to re-read your post sister - You indicate Medquist has spent millions regarding the lawsuit and could ONLY spare $20,000 for Katrina victims? You have got to be kidding - what the heck did you give to Katrina victims?
The one thing I can say for MedQuist is at least they are paying their debt and not filing chapter 11 or closing the business or just running and hiding - they are coming clean and that is respectful. What IS NOT respectful is your arrogant remarks regarding them ONLY GIVING $20,000. I want to hear it from you - HONESTLY WHAT DID YOU GIVE?
Get a life and find something better to gripe about. I could only imagine if they gave a million dollars, you would be whining again because you want a raise and here they are giving all this money away. UGH - good golly!
I will assume that if I don't get a response back from you that you gave nothing to Karina victims and are speechless.
no kidding
it certainly does make a mockery of this so-called profession. Corporate material?....no! Trailer park material.....absolutely! And I love it - I come here for entertainment! LOL!
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!
Where??? The only time you hear from them is when they want to be nasty and mean to you for not doing enough work!!! SS s***s.
you have to be kidding me
peep is just people...in the 'old times' it was a peeping tom, get with the times.........don't get so OFFENDED!!!!!!!!
you are kidding, right?
you are kidding.
Are you kidding?
Look, stand up for your business. At 0.8 per gross line, with that many templates and time, she has no excuse but to get it right. None of my accounts would tolerate that. She must take no pride in her work. And if you keep making her corrections, etc., you are hurting yourself. If she were a friend, she would want to get it right and be grateful for the work. Has she heard of "spellcheck"? I have helped friends out and they have helped me, but we would expect the best, not just "get through with it as fast as possible". Rethink this person kiddo. There's gotta be someone else who would appreciate this work.
Are you kidding?
We both work and neither one of us wants to be bothered talking on the phone during the day. We talk when he gets home.
RU kidding????
I'll have U know I DID work at BK from 1974-76 when in hi school and NO WAY would I trade my keyboard fingers for french frie smell! LOL Ewww....they always stuck me on fries (couldn't deal with customers) - yuck. I always had french fry hair from that darn cap I had to wear! 
Are you kidding?
Sorry, don't mean to sound mean, but do you not know what court reporting is? There is no way that this can be done from home. You have to document what is said while it is being said in the courtroom. Sheesh!
You have GOT to be kidding...
Please tell me you are kidding! Unbelievable how naieve some people are, simply unbelievable! 
You really should go to the ER. No kidding.
I have a dear friend who is in his early 50s. He has the standard headaches and takes his BC Powders.
Last year at Christmas he was going home for the holidays and I had gone by his office to wish him happy holidays, and he was literally laying on the table with the worst h/a ever he said. His eye was even a little blood shot (like you get with a really bad h/a).
On the way home, he finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled into an ER about 20 minutes from where he lives.
Within minutes they had done a CT and had him on a helicopter to Univ of Ala at B'Ham.
He had a brain tumor! Never would have thought it - wouldn't have ever even considered to think that. He was healthy as a horse.
So, please go to the ER. BTW he had surgery and he is doing really good. But he wouldn't have if he hadn't stopped and pulled into that ER that day.
Not kidding
Spirits in the house - go ahead and laugh, or tell me you wanted a serious answer. That is one. I've seen it before.
Are you kidding me???
Next week they're all going to sing Queen??? The only one I can see pulling that off is Chris. Can you imagine Bucky and Kelly singing Queen?
You have got to be kidding!
That should not be acceptable!
Are you kidding?
I realize I have troubles now with this icky account, but for me to work with SC's, well, I might as well jump from the fry pan straight into the fire - been there and done that and no more. I've had it up to here with subcontractors, hearing all their excuses as to why they can't work (my kid's got the sniffles - I started my period - I have a headache - My third cousin in Omaha is sick, and I have to call her, yada, yada, yada) and I've had it up to here with looking at their sloppy work. Working with SCs? NEVER AGAIN!
LOL...no kidding

You are kidding, right? I cannot believe you
MTs WOULD drink while working. Absolutely no way I would drink until my work was done, same as if I worked in a hospital.
You have got to be kidding me. LOL.
You were bashing their dictating habits because they were ESLs, now don't try to say you weren't. If that isn't about race then I don't know what is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad dictators come in all shapes, sizes, colors. Any good MT knows that.
Are you kidding??? sm
It was already almost 80 at 6 this morning. High expected to be in the mid 90s, with heat index over 100...thank the good Lord above for A/C!!!  ---me when I go outside!
6.5 cpl are you kidding
I was just offered a position with one of the major nationals. I have 12 years of experience in multiple specialties in clinic work with many ESL dictators and some experience in acute care and ER but remote. I have been working as an IC at 8 cpl for the longest time, which is okay but no benefits. They had an incentitive program but come on. Is this really the going rate?
kidding? uh uh.
I am paid production . . . period. I work as fast as I can and do as well as I can. I do not slow myself down to go back and re-read something I just transcribed. Sure I make mistakes now and then, but not often enough to slow myself down by rereading everything. That is insane. I am realistic. I am not a saint. I do not hold myself out as a representative of this bright shining idea of perfect Transcriptionist working loyally for less and less money and fewer and fewer benefits as the years go by.
You have got to be kidding me!
LOL...no kidding! nm

are you kidding me
Off shore MT get patient lists with SS# addresses, which can also be dictated and personal and social history - many also handle the billing for the clients as well - which includes even more information. - okay so maybe not the MT themselves in every instance - but the companies they work for - are you telling me that you have never received a patient list with personal information other than names? even on VPN systems, this information can be dictated and is available with a search. I agree we all need to get involved not as MTs, but as Americans - every individual no matter what work they do needs to know and demand their personal information be kept within the USA
OMG you have GOT to be kidding!
The sad thing is, I'm sure you're not. 
No kidding!
The ctl+ctl fails to open for me sometimes also! The only connection I've made is that it sometimes happens after I close the alt+S screen. The only way I knew to get the function of ctl+ctl back is to shut down and start all over. Can you remember what you did to reactive the ctl+ctl feature? I don't know if I could replicate your twitch. LOL.
By the way, does anyone else have problems (sometimes) looking up doc names with ctl+A? Meaning, if you type something like k? to do a search, you would only get the first doctor in the database (his/her name would be Ka---. This is driving me nuts.
I'm still pretty new with EXText, so I feel pretty inadequate sometimes.
Are you kidding?
I just want to keep my electricity turned on so I can work! I do NOT have a garage. I do NOT have a house, I can barely pay my rent and have to buy my kids clothes at the second-hand store. Don't preach to me about luxury! You've got to be kidding! Speak for yourself.
you have got to be kidding!
this kind of response really blows me away.
OP not kidding
If you have kids in junior high/high school, ask their language arts/English teachers what text messaging is doing to writing skills. OP had no way of knowing whether this was Amanda's usual way of writing or not. If it had been, then to stop and use standard English was a good tip. OP went on to mention a couple of companies that might hire newbies but also suggested reading posts about them on these boards, also good tips. So just what is the problem?
