I swear I could hug you right now. Evidently my expander
left past the letter D and I was trying to replace because I have been using it for forever!! Thank you so, so much!!!!!!! 
OMG, I'm in tears I'm laughing so hard!
That is so funny!
I can barely type I'm laughing so hard
Yes, you are going to get slammed for saying some of that stuff, but it is Hilarry-ious!!! And, oh so true. Oh, my side hurts!
I could swear I had one say
The patient is tolerating her clothes.
Had the boss listen and she agreed, that's what it sounded like.
That would be me. You are very welcome. I swear by it. nm

Nope...I swear - s/m
Deals that big cannot, CANNOT, be done in a sneaky fashion. It just doesn't happen. I worked in investor relations for many years before my stint in MT and I promise you, if you read the fine print and follow shareholder's meetings and the daily stock news, you should never be surprised.
Not directed at you, but sometimes I think MTs love catastrophic thinking. It's simply not realistic in this context.
I swear I do not change my name. Seriously.
I don't lie. If you don't want to believe anything I say in other posts, believe this. I did not change my name to Zippy or Frankie Boy or any of the other people who are responding to me!
You swear to never have another surgery sm
because you know exactly what they will be doing to you.
some swear by, but I think my hands are too big.
Voc. Rehab. let me try one out when they were helping me get my ergonomics together, and I knew right away I could never get used to it. I have rather "fat" fingers, though, and I think that was part of it. If you have longer, thinner fingers, it might be right up your alley.
You can rent one (which can then be applied to the purchase price, I think?) for awhile from this site to try it out, rather than outright buying it.

Are we allowed to swear? I can't believe that!
If that is the quality of the transcription they are getting back, how on earth are they passing audits with hospitals?
I just do not get it.
I swear they are skimming off us somehow.
How do you prove it though unless you are on the "inside" workings of the beast? It's like the old Bugs Bunny where they were splitting up cash or something and the swindling character said, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one two for me. One for you, one two three for me...etc."
If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.
swear words in the spellchecker would be because(sm)
sometimes doing psychiatry notes (or any other for that matter) the MD will dictate exactly what the patient says. If that quote contains swear words, the spellchecker will not pick these up unless it's been programmed that that they are spelled right. It get's tedious having swears pop up all the time so they go into the spellchecker.
I swear, the people who manage
this site should put a button right under 'main board' that says 'MQ Gripe Board' so that the seemingly hundreds of disgruntled MQ'ers can gripe and argue all day long and the rest of us would be spared. Every page of this board is filled with arguments between the MQ gripers and the few MQ folks who claim they are happy. At some point you'd think the (MQ people) would realize that non MQ'ers don't want to hear this stuff every single day, all day long.
I swear a troll or someone just throws these Q's out to see
how close were paying attention to posts
I used to swear by Sylcount but recently
to Practicount. You get the same counts as you do in Sylcount but you don't have to save the files in the rich text format for it to work. I found it annoying to have to save everything in RTF and my version of MS Word would always ask if I wanted to save it in RTF, and I'd have to answer "yes" to two different pop-ups before it would even save. There might have been a way around that, but I found Practicount worked just as well without that bother so I switched.
I swear I had a neurology doctor
who would dictate into the late hours, sometimes almost hour-long dictations, and I could periodically hear the cork coming out of a bottle of wine...guess we are not the only ones that are tempted 
I swear mine does a few lines... (sm)
And then sniffs all the way through the report, he is constantly changing his mind. You know how you can just tell when someone is "under the influence"? I would almost bet this account that this one gets all coked up before he picks up the phone! I have never done one of his reports where he is not trying to inhale the room in between sentences...
Yes, and I swear I've gotten viruses
from tech support screwing around. I now have a new one, and no, I will never work on platform again or have anyone be on my computer through a meeting. If it's not FTP work using Word, no way will I let a company mess around.
I think they do more harm than good! 
I swear, I just transcribed Bill Cosby! sm
you know that voice that Bill Cosby does, kinda sounds like he's drunk? Well, this doc I just transcribed sounded like that!!! and it's workers' comp, no less. Just had to vent a little! It's still too early for all this! 
Hurry, watch the news & I swear
You will see my last dictator dictating from a chopper with at least 10 choppers around him, landing in the middle of a Rolling Stones concert notifying the fans that Mick is sick and won't be there
just don't know how better to describe this background noise that is obviously distracting to him...oh, please add, oops change that...uhh, hmm where was I  I have a migraine now and I don't even know what one feels like and from the looks of my que, I'm going in for round 2
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm
:{
Sorry I did proof my post but I swear things moved around
Sorry for the typos.
Well, my husband and I paid 58% last year in taxes. I swear! sm
I won't tell you our gross, but it's above average, we both work 70+ hours a week and we are struggling to pay our bills - parents of 3 young children.
I am scared to death of Democrats being back in office. GW at least wants tax breaks for families like ours. If the Dems are in office I'm afraid we'll be taxed more to help pay for people like my niece who had babies beginning at age 13 and has never had a job in her life. How can this NOT outrage anyone - yet I know there are people out there who tell me to get over it, it's life, those other people are 'entitled' to our money. It's absolutely vile and disgusting.
POLL: Productivity gain using your expander and what expander you use.
Guess I need to make it work harder.
The shortcuts expander works with the Bayscribe expander as well.
All at the same time.
I might have fixed it....
After I was able to get the links to show up again, I then saved the page in "Favorites" (deleted my old link that was there) and now when I click on it from my favorites, the links are continuing to show up on the left side/blue area - so far. LOL. We will see if this lasts now. :D
I really think it is fixed! sm
I tried voting for Chris on Tuesday night and I could NOT get through at all! I honestly believe that they did not want to send Katherine home because that has the potential of losing the male audience! How many guys sit around and want to watch 3 guys sing? I truly, in my heart and soul, think the entire thing is bogus. Although, he is really and truly talented and I think he will definitely be selling records in the near future, which I will gladly buy!!!!! JMO HE SHOULD HAVE WON IT ALL!!!!
Thank you so much... I fixed it.
It's Fixed Now!
Thanks for notifying.
MTStars Support Team.
Thanks we fixed it.
It was on my kids computer; not mine. My daughter was playing a game, and the letter keys wouldn't work. It's a Logitech Cordless (cheapo) and I downloaded software from the site, and then my son pulled the plug on the optical eye, plugged it back in, and it now works! Thanks.... Everyone!!!!
They are using US and laughing at us. NM
xxx
Laughing!
For someone who has been on "both sides of the game" you sure do not have your facts straight. You do not have to be a member of AAMT to take the CMT exam!!
not laughing
but cutting it off with a knife takes all the fun out of it.
eating vertically is, I guess, round and round, as opposed to side to side. Didn't know how to describe it. I eat both ways, actually, I don't want to miss a thing!
got me laughing too!! Thanks. nm
t
still laughing
giggles are good and docs come up with some fine ones. just had this on H&P.
GU, RECTAL, and BREAST exam are deformed!!!!!! lololololol
Not laughing at all.
I have read several articles where people talked about doing that. I hadn't even thought of that and my tailbone is as sore as the rest of yours are.
Thanks for the reminder! I think I even have one of those babies stashed somewhere. Time to take a break and find it.
OE problem fixed!
Just wanted to let you know that I just did a restore (a quick 10 minute fix) and my OE works fine again! Apparently I had some corrupted files. I was very hesitant on trying this in fear of files I might lose (particularly work ones) but everything appears fine so far.
I am just So upset that I wasted SO many hours trying to fix this!
Here's how I fixed that...not to say it will work for you.
I work as an IC for a large service. I went through the misery for about two weeks after getting a new doctor who was either too lazy or too clueless to give the demographic information needed. I swear that I spent as much or more time looking up old reports if the dictation was for a followup, etc., as I did typing the darn report. I said forget this. Every time he left out the SS#, MR# number, DOB, or did not spell a name, I used my highlighter on the tool bar and typed in "not given". It took him about one week of getting reports back to his office where one of the office staff had to look the info. up or give the report to doctor to fill in missing information. I made him as irritated as he made me. About one week later, and to this day, he very rarely misses any pertinent info. I ran this through the MTSO before I highlighted, and explained to her that when I ran my own service, there is no time or tolerance for doctors who fail to give pertinent information on an important medical record. Any MTSO who pressures you otherwise to waste your precious time on this is not worth working for! Good luck to you!
If not identified, it will never be fixed!
I don't want to crucify them for making an error. I want the error to be known, noted, and corrected in future editions! I also want to be aware of any other known errors in this publication so I will not bilindly follow the book and make the errors they are providing, considering I have PAID for their PROFESSIONAL guidance!! Is that unreasonable?
Fixed wireless.
Has anybody had any experience with this. We have a company providing this close by. We only have dial-up and satellite has such bad reviews. I am trying to research any possibility.
Fixed wireless
I looked into this in IL when I lived for a short time in a rural area -- VERY expensive and if you rent, its a hole and mounting "a permanent structure" -- also, you are locked into a contract with that as well and not everyone has radio towers available or in the area -- frankly, the newer cards are a better alternative.
Hey, got it figured and fixed!
I went to the Nuance/Dictaphone web site and looked at their information base and lo and behold, there was the problem and solution. Apparently it's common with Windows XP or 2000 and they recommend a particular file download, DPVoicer1132.exe. I did that and ran it and after rebooting, problem fixed!
Thought maybe an update might help someone doing a search on here in the future.
I FIXED IT... see link...
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101055371033.aspx#1 I followed these instructions, and wahlah!!! :)
I will print your suggestion as well. I watched a demo on Word earlier and it is so "full" (for lack of a better word). I am so impressed with this edition!!
Thanks to all!!
The problem is fixed.

macro - fixed
between windows & mac, something got squashed in the file name reference. Let's see if it pastes cleanly now.
Make sure you create a text file c:
eplacetext.txt and put the entries in the format specified
findthis|replacewiththis
teh|the
mjsmithx|Michael J. Smith, MD,
HIPPA|HIPAA
etc....
Note - if you want to change the file name or location, change the corresponding OPEN statement in the macro below. Also, if you want to change the delimiter character from the hardcoded (single pipe) value to something else, change the delimchar line below and the text file accordingly.
You can insert this into a module in your normal document template -- or in a specific document or template if you don't want it in Normal -- post here if you need more details
This will run through every entry in the text file and make the corresponding replacement in the target document.
Sub replacemulti()
Dim TextRaw, FindText, ReplaceText As String
Dim delim As Integer
Dim delimchar As String
delimchar = "|" 'Must be a single character for this version.
Open "c:
eplacetext.txt" For Input As #1 ' Open the find/replace source file.
Do While Not EOF(1) 'Loop until end of file
Line Input #1, TextRaw 'Read file, one line at a time
delim = InStr(1, TextRaw, delimchar, 0) 'Get the position of the delimiter
FindText = Left(TextRaw, delim - 1) 'FindText = text to left of delimiter
ReplaceText = Mid(TextRaw, delim + 1, Len(TextRaw)) 'ReplaceText = text to right of delimiter
'Do the replacement
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = FindText
.Replacement.Text = ReplaceText
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = True
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Loop
Close #1 ' Close file.
End Sub
Some people swear by vitamins, calcium, low protein diet, Flexeril. (sm)
try a variety of things, cuz it could be so many things.
I'm still laughing...that is great...
Now I've got all these images in my head about Internest Street in Transcription City. This is really, really funny. My dog is looking at me wondering why I'm laughing to myself. Oh well!! Probably will be thinking about this all day...will develop a whole town, with many streets and avenues.
What other names can others come up with. Lets build this city. OK everyone, send in your suggestions!! 
I am not laughing at the technology.
At this point, at least to my understanding, the health insurance industry and Joint Commission require detailed documentation,especially the insurance companies who love to quibble on what they'll pay. When the detailed documentation is no longer being required and standard text and check off systems are used, the docs have no way to cover their butts. Let a few of them be sued for malpractice because they have no detailed proof of exact treatment, and we'll see just how wonderful this mobile system works. The insurance companies will be in an uproar over the judgements they are paying out.
I didn't see anybody laughing.
Everyone thinks Frankie boy has major mental problems.
lol! well, laughing through my tears, actually.
