I used to have that myself. Feeling dread upon the alarm clock sm
going off. Xanax helps that, too. You should try it. Good luck. I can't wait for this to be OVER!!!

I need to copy program from one computer to another. sm
How can I copy Word 2003 from one computer to the other. I want to have it on both computers. Thanks so much for your help.
Can I also use 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse and 2 hard drives, one being Vista and other being XP.
Thanks for your help.
Is there a way to copy Shorthand program from one computer
to another when I do not have the disk anymore? Any help appreciated. I recently bought a new computer and am looking to install my ShortHand on that computer.
Can't you just reinstall the Spellex? If the program .exe file is on your computer you should be
able to reinstall, unless upgrading totally re-formatted your hard drive, which I presume is the case here (this is where backing up things comes in handy). Maybe you can contact your school and ask for a new copy? As for cheap and good, I doubt the two go hand in hand. I use Stedman's Spellchecker and love it. Maybe you can look on ebay and get a copy that way for not too much $. Good luck.

Two alarm clocks for me
I set two. I felt horrible oversleeping one day and my daughter was at school waiting for me to pick her up. It only happened once, but she told me she thought I wasn't going to pick her up and she was crying....
If an alarm had not been going off, she would not have posted.
Women's sexual organs are tucked away whereas men's are not. I do not know one civilization in this world where then men do not cover up their organs. Tribes have he decency to protect children from that.
I got a fire alarm dictation too!
That is a RIOT! The one in my ear sounded just like the "Enterprise" going to red alert...and the dude just kept right on dictating but thankfully he pretty much screamed his dictation and successfully overpowered the "bwooop, bwooop, bwooop!" of the alarm.
Just tell me, how many times have you heard car alarm
and went to investigate? Never. No one even pays attention to those. You can hear them going off and no one even takes the time to turn their head. Not such a hot idea. Can give example, my very close next door neighbors went off 1 day and I swear never glanced in that direction.
And when the fire alarm goes off above your head, MOVE AWAY.
If your car has an alarm, answer door w/keys so you can set

Just a reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries nm
Zone Alarm Pro also protects against adware & spyware.
It also protects against pop-ups. I've been using Zone Alarm Pro for years and never had a problem (with Windows XP or current Vista). It doesn't bog my system down like Norton did. The free programs don't protect on all levels like Zone Alarm does.
Anyone know what a web clock is?..nm
To get your clock back...
Hover your cursor in that area (taskbar) and right click, then select properties, and on the taskbar tab click to check off "show the clock." That should do it for ya.
She's actually taking meds around the clock for it
Vicodin, Percocet, aspirin, ibuprofen, and drinking. She has a rheumatologist, but its so hard to get in to see him. One of her problems is she is really obese, and his first advice to her is lose the weight, taking some strain off her joints. I feel so bad for her, she shouldn't have to live in pain. She doesn't have a quality of life. Maybe it hits people harder than others. But I would be like you, take a more natural approach so you don't get caught up in depending on pain meds.
I don't trust myself. I set the clock or I know I'd wake up 4 hrs later.

ATOMIC CLOCK website

you just have to choose your time zone, and it will give you the currect time.
I get it, "real job" as in you can actually CLOCK OUT AND GO HOME!
I know exactly what you mean.
How do I get my clock back in the taskbar? sm
I removed it long ago and now I want it back and can't remember what I did to remove it! I looked on the internet but could not find an answer. I have Windows XP incidentally. TIA!
sorry... but what is an online punch clock??
i feel so out of it!
...and then we'd be on a clock, taking breaks and lunches just like SM
we were sitting in an office slashing throats over the thermostat. 
Yes, but I power nap for 10 min (set a clock) and freel great.

What company lets you work off the clock?
I prefer to work off the clock for my extra lines.
Icon in rt lower screen, by your clock....
Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it. If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with.
Hope this helps
That's alot more polite than grabbing the clock and
ROFL !!!! ;D
Can someone help with Windows 98 time/clock? I'm losing about an hour a day (sm)
I have Windows 98 and the same computer since 1999. I have never a problem until this week. The clock setting is losing about an hour a day. I reset it every morning, but around afternoon, it's about a half hour off, but night, its an hour off, etc. I haven't noticed any other problems with any other programs.
Does anybody have any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it, other than just keep resetting it?
Thanks you guys!
re: post about internal clock, there is a web site address
given to us by our MT leader. I've never tried it, but it's supposed to keep the clock in sync. The addresss is www.clock-sync.com/help.html. This may help you with your problem.
TAKING A POLL-PUNCH TIME CLOCK
Who works for a company that requires you to punch a time clock?
it is some type of time clock application..just wondered if anyone used it.

The clock does play into how much time is spent with patients
The way the CPT codes bill insurance have guidelines for the physicians built into them that give amounts of time spent with the patient (in addition to certain information covered in the ROS/PE), especially in consultations (whether inpatient or out), hospital discharge codes and critical care time (inpatient or out).
Yes, that computer is in fact billing the insurance company because it not only saves not having to pay an MT, it bypasses a billing clerk (eliminating that salary), and if the doctor's office space is paid for by a hospital, that file is sent to the hospital's database where a *scrubber* compares what the MD submits versus coding guidelines. If it is an independent office, the MD can upload all that day's billing before he walks out the door and leave it unattended to update patient accounts and reconcile the days money intake.
In a nut shell, your doctor is no longer just practicing medicine. Your MD is doing the documentation and billing and saving money on two warm bodies.
I understand your concern as I see it more and more in today's medical care, but yes, this is the way things are going. I am fortunate that my MD has been very computer literate for a long time, so the amount of time he spends with his laptop is minimal. Once he enters the info, he kicks his shoes back and we chat and get into a deeper discussion both professionally and personally (we've known each other a long time). Give your MD a chance to play catch up to what he or she is doing with that computer and you should see a more relaxed physician soon.
Good luck.

At one time, someone posted a link for a free clock timer. sm
I've searched the archives but could not find it. It was for timing your actual time spent transcribing. Anybody remember what it was. TIA.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
The line rate sounds pretty good compared to other places - by "punch the clock", you mean
it really is not a flexible schedule, even for an IC? That's what I need the most.
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Value of SUM program...What would you pay???>>>
I asked this on the equipment board, but I think maybe I'll get a better response here, so I hope its okay to post it here, too.
Does anyone know what the SUM CDs are worth? There are some on ebay. The beginning one is 2005, and usually they are the older ones on ebay. I looked on the HPI website, but they come with books and are VERY expensive.
Anyway, does anyone have an idea of what they are worth without any extra books? I want to bid on them, but don't know how much. They are at $9.99 each now. There is a beginning one, an advanced one and a surgery one. Shoot. I want them, but don't want to pay too much, you know?
Thanks for any input. 
SUM Program
First, realize if you are able to study independently. The SUM cd's that are on ebay now are the new 2005 editions. You will be able to find the additional books you need on eBay over a few weeks. My advice to you is 1) go to the HPI/SUM website and print out the Student Syllabus and assignments for beginning and surgical (this will give you all of your assignments and a list of what supplies you will need, 2) email the eBay seller and make sure she is including the password codes to "unlock" the cds (Without these, they are useless to you.), then bid what they are worth to you. I have seen them go from $10 to well over $100. I sold a one myself (and not the new edition) for $125. Since I now have everything I need, I will pass on a little hint for buying cheap on eBay. Look for the packages, purchase them, take out what you need, then relist the rest. I now have a second computer (used but fine), desk (nice and new), all the reference books needed for the SUM Program, every Stedman's book that I could ever want (the latest editions), flash cards from Career Step (which come in handy), the extra AAMT cd's that M-Tec uses along with macros and every possible item I could ever want. In the end, not only did it cost me nothing, but I actually came out ahead in the end.
So, if you have the time, this is an excellent way to purchase training materials. Good luck and happy shopping.
DQS program
Hello out there - Starting position who has DQS program.
I find it to be very poor. (In fact those who know the Meditech program - I prefer Meditech over DQS anyday)
I have a lot of issues with the program; however, will just ask two questions, please. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
1. Does anyone have advice as to the quality of dictation. I am not referring to the physicians quality, but the inability of the DQS program to have more than 4 selections for speed, which are terrible.
Is it me or is this par for the program? 1-2 speed hash marks are draggy, 3-4 is distorted. There is not a happy medium for clear dictation but at a rate you can type quickly and accurately.
2. Also minutes - never measured my work in minutes how many minutes a day approximately to produce 1500 lines a day ??
35+ years transcription experience - this is the worst program ever. Hey that is just my opinion, I could be wrong (5000 lb gorilla).
