I'd get a sample of the dictations before agreeing to a by-the-minute price!
I have one client that can barely get 5 real words out between the hemming, hawing, and ummm-ing in three minutes of dictation. One of my other clients can rattle off 3 million, 367 thousand and 289 words in three minutes of dictation.

I've an idea
Professional pictures of her in lingerie, posed sensuously but not sexually. Let her eyes send him all the right messages.
I've seen the idea several times,

Thanks! I think I've now got a good idea how it all
ended. I thought it was one of the best episodes of this show that I've seen.
Great idea...I've often thought of doing some...
thing similar. After all, AAMT was started by individuals with an idea. Unfortunately the original, most likely that *good* idea has been long lost.
So, form a new organization. Set up testing. Issue a credential. Actually represent the American MT. What a concept. 
Great idea. Thanks. I've had a mental block on

Dang Lucy's got a good idea. Now why didn't I think of that because I've been experiencing
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
Spell as best you can or blank them and keep going. I've passed many tests when I've left blan

As you can already see, you've come to the wrong board! By using the word professional, you've
excluded about 99% of the population of "whatever" it is that hangs on these boards. Certainly not professional for sure! But you sure are doing a good thing for someone! Its the thought that counts. Sorry you met the dregs right at the start.
HELP! I've turned my screen sideways, I can't straighten it up. I know I've seen sm
this before, but I can't remember what it is. Do you realize how hard it is to read sideways? TIA.
I've lost track of how many people who've asked about it to NOT

I've always verified every line I've typed (I have my ways) -sm
If you're supposed to be paid a certain $/line, that's what you should be getting no matter how they do billing unless of course it's specified in YOUR contract with THEM.
BTW, I've never caught a company cheating me ever.
I've used it. It's the worst piece of crap I've ever seen.
seriously. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, or their Vianeta program. Awful, just awful.
Wait until you've been there six months and if you've improved
quality and quantity, I'd say go ahead and ask. Otherwise I'd say annually... good luck
I've seen the same every place I've done acute care, and
pointing out dangerous or repeated errors (often in normals for goodness sakes!) never got the result I expected. When I would press the issue, supervisors said if the dictators didn't complain, then the mistakes must not matter!
It didn't matter if the MT changed what had been a cardiac med in the beginning of the report to an antifungal by the end - I kid you NOT! One poor girl used facial for fascial and fascial for facial!
I've used a few expanders, and of those I've used, all must be "coded" to get things lik
One thing I do to get around this, is to create a macro and then link the ShortHand command to the macro. It works for me, but I do the same five clients every day and only have about 20 or 30 macros/Shorthand commands that work like this. This may not work well for you if you have lots of formats and hundreds of docs.
I've been doing this doc for many years, so I've learned how to function with him. sm
I can tell what's a stutter, what's another word, what's just an "uh." Years of experience will get you through a lot.
Wouldn't want to do his charts all day, of course, but a few per day aren't bad. I haven't had to send his to review in a long time, but they do take a little longer to shuffle through.
I've worn contacts for 30 years. I've had both
hard and soft. My vision is much better with the soft ones than they were with the hard ones. When I first started trying contacts soft ones were still new and they couldn't get me to 20/20, so I went to hard. Hard were okay until my eyes started changing shape and then I could no longer wear hard ones. The soft should give you better vision as they conform more to the shape of your eye.
I've been a bully; I've been bullied.
I used to sell a lot on eBay. There are some people who buy high-priced items and play games with you. I've had to call them repeatedly, report them to different agencies. It's not fun. You put time and money into the business of selling, and there are people out there who live to manipulate the system and cause trouble.
And, I've been bullied by buyers who made unreasonable demands, insist that they pay by check when you clearly state you don't accept them. It's not fun, and is one of the reasons I don't sell anymore. People!
I've also bought from some sellers who I would not deal with again because of their unprofessional attitude.
But, overall, ebay can be a great place to be.
I've become the man I've always wanted to marry.
I live alone, am 46, never married, no kids, just dogs horses and chickens and just got done building a new house out in the boonies away from the rat race. (Used to live in Manhattan) Couldn't be happier. Selfish maybe, but never out of time, never stressed, and I don't take anything out on others. There's something to be said for being alone but not lonely. I'm not looking for a man to "make me complete." They only sap me of my time, energy and money (how little of it there is with MQ). I consider myself lucky getting to choose my time with friends, and not just stuck with a deadbeat partner. Ladies especially: Be strong and allow yourself to be independent. Any old man will not make you stronger!
This is the whole idea
The corporations want it that way-- they don't give a rip about the "middle class". The CEOs just want to be able to buy a new yacht every year, new cars, have several homes all over the country and maybe the world, etc. It's all about GREED. That's why nobody will do anything about illegal immigration. They want to pay their workers as little as possible so it's all profit for them.
What is your idea of
"enough?" How much do you think the job is worth?
An idea
for the businesses that you should contact are the ones where your friend has done business such as bank,church, her place of employment, and any place that her parents were involved in. When we had a fundraiser for someone that I worked with we contacted a local band and a bar with a dance floor to helped raise money for his injuries. They all volunteered their service free of charge. And many people showed up to help him out. Just a thought!
You have no idea.
Let's just keep it there.
Better idea
If you have an experienced MT doing the recruiting, he/she can tell just in a conversation whether the applicant does/does not know his/her business. As you said, you're going to know within the first couple of days whether or not the applicant is going to pan out If you're testing for an MT to do cardiac caths, start a conversation about cardiac caths. All MTs I have ever known love to discuss their trade...if they know it. These extensive tests put out by most companies these days are a horrific waste of time...they don't prove a thing!
Idea
Maybe it's like one website I went to, where it seemed the way to do it was to respond with an e-mail first (pasting a resume into your e-mail and saying what job you were interested in), and then they would respond and tell you what tests they wanted you to take?
I have no idea! -nm

Now there's an idea!

Thank you for that idea. I can do that.
The obvious solution is always right in front of us, right? LOL
I have no idea what they are seeing that I am
Not at all. Good for them if they are getting a better deal at Walmart. Wasn't happening for me.
Have no idea what it could be, but if he has any (nm)

I have them...have no idea why you don't
You might try emailing the moderator or administrator of this site.
one idea
If you are using actual WavPedal software, try this first. Open WavPedal - settings - options - file associations - and make sure .dss is checked (or add file type .dss and check it). Close. Then, right click on your voice file and "open with" and choose WavPedal. Should open. Sounds like your default player for voice files is not WavPedal. I think it will ask you (can't remember off hand) then just choose YES for WavPedal as default for all files with .dss association.
I had no idea. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have no idea what you mean. nm

Here is an idea
Start out not charging anyone anything but time. Everyone who joins contributes a skill to the organization such as marketing, PR, etc. It costs nothing to do e-mail newsletters, just time and some people to write for it. Online meetings on Yahoo or MSN groups would be nothing to do.
Also getting a website can be pretty cheap if a few members would be willing to design it. Everyone has a friend of a friend who has this business or that. A lot of times, especially in the case of smaller businesses, they are willing to trade small services for exposure and advertising. You would be amazed.
I used to work in Marketing for nonprofits before deciding to stay home as an MT. I also still do consulting work. I am all for a new organization and would love to participate in any way I could to back to representing what "they" were supposed to.
Send me an e-mail. We'll chat. 
Huh? what does this mean? no idea.nm

Thanks for this idea....sm
is there a way to find out what companies hire SE? That sounds good. What company do you work for if you don't mind me asking. You could e-mail me if you want. Thanks!
You have no idea how much better that
makes me feel! Hopefully mine does the same. I've unplugged it and am leaving it alone for awhile. I found out to fix it the cost will be around $300. I sure hope it works.
I do not know how my supervisor puts up with me sometimes, but she has me set up to work another way until I get this fixed. Thank you all for the help!
any idea
anyone know why it takes so long to get a count on the ichart site? Been happening all week - takes up to a full day and 1/2.
Thanks so much for that Idea! sm
You know I'm beating myself up trying hard to figure out how to do the hard hyphen and hard space so it expands that way and your idea of doing it first then highlighting and entering it is not something I would have ever thought of!!! This works great. Thank you so much for all your help.
I Like your idea
I like your idea.
No idea.
I have a not great account that gets cherry picked into extreme lateness. I don't mind if you cherry pick to get a decent doctor or two after having a ton of crappy ones but to cherry pick out all the good stuff and put the rest of us behind with all the bad ones is just wrong.
Idea - sm
I don't know logistically how to go about this, but as a sociology student I know there should be a way. What if we could somehow poll people to see if they approve of their records being sent overseas and use that in our letters?
I just got an idea
I have noticed that with every company i have worked for the general style has been not to reveal or encourage the MTs to talk. This is totall a divide and conquer thing. It would be nice if we could all (safely without lossing our jobs) list ourselves somewhere and what company we work for. If things are bad for everyone and we could team up...who knows.....
An idea...
You can if you have the disc. I'm not personally sure about those programs, but, when I first started with my co. I took my computer there for them to load because it was in same state and not too far away. Anyway, when I bought new computer, I just had them overnight me the disk instead of taking new computer to them. Then they walked me through some final details. So, if you can't transfer it, that might be a thought.
An idea
Let's face it, they want us to wipe their noses for them.
I don't blame you for being upset at all, but it won't do any good to talk to your OM. They'll do whatever the dictators ask.
When that happens to me, I get upset for a few hours, grumble to myself, then stick a post-it note near my computer screen, and after a couple of days, it's habit and I don't think about it anymore.
I like that idea.
I like it indeed.
here's an idea -
and not off the subject. I was due for a new car but can't afford one now that my wages have been cut to match Indians. Toyota Camrys are made in Kentucky (and I think West Virginia, some parts) - yes it is a Japanese corporation but American workers do have jobs. Bumper stickers are a great idea. I had considered a billboard - I have no idea how much they cost. Hospital security would probably throw me out but I can walk across the street on public property.
They have no idea.
MD-created templates are extremely difficult and time-consuming to use. You are left to guess at what they mean, and then you get no feedback. They are probably so sure their bases are covered that they aren't even reviewing their reports anymore.
My sympathies. Good luck.
Another idea
First of all, sorry about the typos in my post above (it was the middle of the night).
You also might want to look into the many customer service jobs (call center jobs) you can do from home now as well.
Google it to find a list of legitimate companies.
Good luck in whatever you pursue!
