Not me, just because I type it, doesn't mean I understand it - sm
I just have a good ear and can figure it out....and have enough common sense to know what is right or wrong in a report.....have heard some whoppers of mistakes though in which common sense should have prevailed and the MT should have known better....but then again some do know it all (or so they think)--You are absolutely right!
You're the one who doesn't understand anything. (nm)

3 things about your post. First, Ann is from Alaska. 2. I am in GA and we understand each other sm
perfectly fine. 3. I guess I am a bad American because I HATE CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top 10 Things Sandra DOESN'T know ...
10) How to spell
9) How to conduct business
8) How to attract clients (or flies for that matter)
7) How to be an example
6) How to learn from her mistakes
5) How to let go of her anger
4) How to belong to any group
3) How to have friends
2) How to be a decent human being
1) How to be an MT
The only thing she apparently knows is how to be a TERRIBLE WARNING!
why doesn't HIPPA monitor these things? (sm)
they should be the outsource police and crack down on these companies, y'know?
it does get easier and eventually things make sense to you even when you can't understand -
I was doing a Irish doctor, I could understand the medical terms pretty well, it was the easier, more normal words, I had trouble with. Because of the lilting and very fast way he said it "three arteries and a vein" nearly drove me insane.
I wish you would not make a blanket statement about things you don't understand about taxes sm
When you are an employee and you are financially responsible for your office, the heat, the electricity, the space in your house, your deductions are nearly identical.
I'll give you this though: ICs frequently make a higher line rate than an employee, at least initially. So many employers are freezing cpl increases in favor of production incentives. My company did this and the incentives are excellent. I have gotten to where my line rate with the incentives is actually higher than any IC position I have ever held. I am going to do that many lines anyway and I am well ahead on all fronts.
This kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it. SM
God bless and keep our fighting men and women and God Bless their families who will be without them during the holidays.
Nope! I only stress over things worth stressing over, which doesn't include turkey & taters!
No, they find them under cabbage leaves,
lol
done when leaves pull out easy...sm
takes about 30-45 minutes depending on if you're using gas versus electric!! *S*
Parmesan sounds good too to the other poster!!
I steam mine with Parm cheese in the leaves -
along with minced garlic. Pound those babies down on the counter so the cheese falls to the bottom and every bite has cheese on the leaves. Yummmmmmmmy- I also put lots of garlic the water along with any other flavoring I want the heart to taste like. I'm off to the store for chokes.....LOL
My biggest irritant is the MT that leaves 20+ blanks in a report... SM
with the majority of the blanks being unnecessary and due to just plain laziness. They don't want to pick up a reference book or they don't own any reference books and they are too lazy to Google it.
It's almost as if I've transcribed the entire report myself!
Lets bottom line this, say she leaves and goes to another company
What do you think would be her chances of them going to VR? Do you think it will go poof and disappear? Do you think refusing to take lower wages makes the companies take notice and reverse to go back to the golden days when we had really good salaries? Be willing to bet that next paycheck most would go along with their companies going to VR rather than changing, going to a new job only to find out the same thing happens there.
QA lady don't read books like Eats Shoots & Leaves, obviously
this is a great read for those of us who are "Punctuation Sticklers"!
Ask QA if she if anal- retentive is spelled with a hyphen! (This is the true test of a QA person).
Only a person who consistently leaves blanks because they are lazy should be docked.
Or maybe they should just be fired. The first place I ever worked docked us for errors that we should not have made. I was only docked a couple of times, and it was only a small amount, but it made me pay attention and be more careful, and I think it made be a better MT.
Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?

Here is our format.

format
The example given by the other poster is good, but you may also want to add the date of the exam.
DSS Format
If you download Express Scribe which is a free program that does play .dss formatted files, you should have no problem getting the files to play. Good luck.
format
Just use all caps for headings. They aren't testing you on format. Worry about terminology, spelling and grammar.
Also, I have never heard of "acute care clinic" work. Acute care is hospital work, clinic is office work. Don't bill yourself as having acute care experience if you do not. They are quite different.
format
I use Wordperfect at work. There are approx. 7 people to have access to my files. Over the past 2 months, I am finding "Word" symbols in some documents and the format is changed, font, etc. No one is supposed to change one iota on those pages. Can anyone tell me what's happening?? I hope I'm on the right message board. This is my first. and thanks!
WAV pedal-.dss format
My doctor just switched from using the regular WAV pedal program using the WAV format to using the .dss format. This is coming up in Media Player and I cannot get the WAV pedal to work with it. What am I doing wrong? It leads me to believe I have to work online rather than download and work off line. It brings up My Documents and it looks like I should be saving it there. (I used to have in My Documents in Word a file set up for My WAV files, and one to Archive the dictation to keep for a while before deleting). This does not come up in My WAV any more, but is still in Archive. Any help or direction is appreciated. Please email me at maplehil@rea-alp.com as soon as possible. My work is piling up and I cannot be typing one line at a time. TIA
Start with Format...
Tee hee, I just learned this like last month! It took me long enough and it's really simple. Start with Format, go to Paragraph, you'll see the alignment of the paragraph is Left, change that to Center.
CLICK ON FORMAT,
Then the arrow at the bottom to bring up more choices. Pick "background", then choose the color you want.
You would need to learn format.
Perhaps if you take an at home MT course that would be sufficient, and with your medical background might be able to land a job. After getting a dentist's salary for so long, might be depressed when you see your paycheck, and with all the ESLs out there might not be so much fun. Not trying to disillusion you but just stating the facts. Also, need to be able to type pretty quick, and have listening/typing coordination - takes some getting use to in the beginning.
If you decide to do it, good luck.
Format heading
Tt the top, under format, check 'bullets and numbering'. Or, you can click on 'reveal formatting' under the same heading, then click 'show all formatting marks' and it might show you what is turned on that you don't need. Make sure you un-click the 'show formatting marks' when you're done to get rid of them.
What is the file format - wav, dss, etc.
What program are you using to try to load?
One thing I do is use the same format
for many of mine. (Old PRD formating)
Example - admin - administer
admins - administers
adminj - admininstration
admind - administered
also for diseases like -
chf - CHF
chff - congestive heart failure
Headings/phrases
hpii - history of present illness
hhpi - HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS
Also - if you have words you constantly transpose letters in, put those in -
teh - the
adn - and
eh - he
Every little bit helps.
If you are consistent on how you add your expansions, no matter what you put in, they will be easy to remember and become second nature.
It depends on WP format,
Spellcheck is no longer available for WP5.1.
Format question
I am currently transcribing a Consultation and never can remember these simple little rules... Under the recommendations section of the report the dictator says that "surgery is indicated for these 5 reasons" and then continues dictating and 1., 2., and so on. Would it be appropriate to add a colon after "these 5 reasons" and skip to new line to start numbering or finish sentence with a period? Or should it be a colon and the numbers starting on the same line? Thanks for anyone's help!
answer to format ?
I woud put the heading "Recommendations" and then type under that the ". . . these five reasons":
1. ________
2. _________, etc.
Auto format
You should be able to restore by formatting your commands. Just go in and find auto commands and click the one that over turned that.
Good luck!

Does anybody use DS2 file format?
One of my offices just switched to the Olympus DS2 file format (without checking with or giving me any notice!) so I need to get a player since I use Express Scribe and that does not handle the DS2 format. Anybody using this file format yet? What software are you using for transcription?
DS2 audio format
Joan, the Bytescribe WavPlayer will play the new Olympus DS2 audio format. If I can help you let me know.
DS2 File Format
You can use the DSS File Converter to convert the DS2 file to a .wav file and then use Express Scribe to transcribe the file. DSS File Converter is available at http://www.pcdictate.com/DSS_File_Converter_p/dssconverter.htm
Psychiatry format help
I am testing, so I can't really call for help. The way it is typed will make or break my score, and I have not been able to find any online exapmles to help me for sure.
Is there a new format on Forum Section
or am I the only one experiencing this....
about two or three days ago, I've noticed that when I go to the main board, other forum or topic options were not listed on the blue portion of the page, and it feels weird to go back to the home page every time I want to change topic/section. 
You need to add a tab to the format. See inside for instructions. sm
Click Format and then Paragraph. A box will open and in the lower right-hand corner, click the Tabs button. You need to set a tab at 1" (or wherever you need it). If you have problems, post back and I'll try to help again.
Platelet count format
Help, please....when transcribing platelet counts, do the facilities you transcribe for want them typed as platelets 250,000 (with zero x3 at the end) or do they allow platelets 250? Can someone tell me what the approved method for this is, and from what source? Thanks a lot.
Platelet count format
I like 250K, as in platelet count 250K, WBC 5.7K (K being appreviation in medicine for 1,000)
how about under format/line/spacing? sm
there's a tip in help in that topic that explains it
TrueSpeech Wav File Format
I already have the foot pedal, but I am trying to get some software that will play the TrueSpeech Wav file format. I have a serial port connection for my foot pedal. I have an old version of Playall Extra, but it will not play the sound files.
If anyone knows of a software that will play this file format, would you kindly let me know? I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you ! David

Does anyone have a pdf format for dictaphone EXText
I am starting with a new company and need the user manual for Dictaphone ExText and cannot find a download for it anywhere......does any body have one that you would be willing to email to a fellow MT. I would really appreciate that or any links where I can find one.
Yes, you can format it and wipe it clean. nm

Format change, no announcement?
Here it is after 1:00 p.m., and there has been a big change to the templates for the account I type for a service, which suggests there may or may not be a change in the instruction we have about strickly adhering to this format, no matter what order the dictator dictates, and still there has been no e-mail to clarify what's going on.
We are graded on how closely we adhere to format. Why wouldn't the company send out an e-mail to tell us what's going on? This co is usually good with the e-mails, and since they are very busy and get way too many e-mails, wouldn't it make sense that they'd send one out as soon as they knew something? I know they won't grade us down for not knowing, but if formatting is important enough to grade us on, doesn't a change warrant a simple e-mail? They rather do 20 individual e-mails?
Weird.

Date format 01/03/2007 or 01/03/07 or
1/3/07 or 1/3/2007? If it's in the AAMT BOS, I can't find it. I looked under dates, months, years. I work on various accounts with varied preferences but curious if there is a recognized standard as to the preceding zeroes in above examples or shortening a year, e.g., /07 from /2007.
