I believe calling machines 'transcribers' is yet

• This gets my goat! sm - TechSupport
  • Like it or not, a "transcriber" is "one who transcribes" sm - Deb
    • And the only machines who "transcribe" are VR, - which is not what I'D call transcribing!
  • That bugs me, too, as a matter of fact....(sm) - starzzz
  • Doesn't bother me at all. - Transcriber
    • I believe calling machines 'transcribers' is yet - another little AAMT-ism.
  • The machine does not actually transcribe. It - records and plays back. The - sm

ALL my accounts still use tapes, believe it or not.  Went through your same problem buying on E-Bay and just kept sending them back.  There is no one out there that repairs these anymore either.  It could just be your foot pedal but I doubt it -- you can try cleaning the wheels with cotton swabs and alcohol that sometimes gets the "yuk" off.   I have a Pearlcorder bought on E-bay -- after the 4th one-- that works and has worked for 6 months now -- holding my breath but gave up on the Sony's as they never hold up.   I finally figured I pay for what I get and those that I had paid new and over $400 actually did last me 10 years which averaged out to $40 a year which is what you can pay for the refurbished ones that last a year so either way averages out to about the same  -- but with the new ones they work right away and you don't have to go through so many.  I would try again on E-Bay but for the Pearlcorder pay at least $120 to $150 and it is then usually in good shape.   But the reason for the "Beeeeeeee" is that it is sticking and not rewinding -- which you know -- so try cleaning it, might work for a little while.

Good luck.  Patti

I have a Sharp UX510 and have been somewhat happy with it up to now.

But I am experiencing a lot of paper jams and even though I followed the owner's manual to correct this, it still happens often - incoming faxes. Also, the prints I receive are not always that clear.

So my question is - anyone have a free-standing fax that you can recommend.

Thank you

this kills me, from the MT news board, a neurologist speaking:

What are the pitfalls? “Mumbling,” says Dr. Block, “that’s the main problem. Doctors are used to dictating in a low, monotone mumble, as fast as they can. A person might be able to handle it by going back and listening to the recording again and again. But for voice recognition, doctors need to speak in a normal, conversational tone of voice, just like we are doing right now. Speak normally, and Dragon has no problem, it works very well. It’s really quite simple.”

yes PLEASE, go ahead and treat me like a machine -- and that TAT would be a whole lot better!!!! and yes doc, you would save money too.....

him for harassment.  I'm pretty sure he would not have handed the title over like that without his money.  If she owed him money, where is his proof? receipts showing balance due? Please do not hand over money to someone who may well be a heartless opportunist.

I'm very sorry for your loss.  Be well.

It seems like as soon as someone posts something against the "prevailing opinion," it's okay to call names and make all kinds of nasty remarks about them personally.  Not just in this topic, but in many others.  There seems to be an attitude of "they said something bad first, so it's okay to say the most hateful and hurtful thing I can think of."

I disagree with your post above, but I certainly wouldn't call you a name or imply that you are deficient, lacking, or stupid in some way for having that opinion.

I don't personally think the "single mother" is relevant to the topic at all.  It's a bad thing to have happened REGARDLESS of the person's age, marital status, or number of children, but I also don't think it's EXTRA bad because she's a single mother - and I don't think that's how she meant it.

For those of you who have acquired accts through cold calling, what do you suggesting saying?  I did get one account this way, but cant remember how I managed.  Any tips appreciated!

Thanks,

Florida girl!

Have it checked out.

Here's what fortunately happened to my stubborn sister.

She just happened to luck out because she was in a room full of people at a big birthday bash for a friend. She didn't feel good, a bit of a nagging headache, but thought it was no big deal until her head started to ache so bad that she dropped into a chair. She was about 5 blocks from the hospital at the time and someone called rescue. She had a brain aneurysm rupture, but she made it. After a month in the hospital she is "normal" with only a slight problem with short term memory.

The "moral" of this story is that if my stubborn sister had been home by herself, thinking, "maybe something is wrong" she would have taken an aspirin and went to lie down.

Don't mess with chest pain. Better to find out that you've pulled a muscle or something.

I'm thinking of switching to an IC. Tell me the absolute best thing about being an IC/subcontractor and the absolute worst thing.

Thanks.

There are two of us here in Delaware so far that would like to get together and have lunch.  We are planning on meeting at the Ruby Tuesdays in Middletown (Rt. 299) at 12 noon on Tuesday, April 3rd.  We would love to have others come and have a nice day out.         

Has anybody used cold calling to get their own accounts? If so, can you give me advice on how to go about doing this?

I'm also marketing with direct mail, etc., but would like to do some cold calling.  I heard it works.

Thanks!
