At the end he said, "This is <his name> bumbling through this again. Thank you so very much."
Guess it makes me at least feel a little appreciated.

Any help would be so appreciated. sm
Starting a new account and it is using a Dictaphone c-phone. I have never used this type of machine and told them that when I took on the account. The office provided me with a Dictaphone Voice Processor Connexions phone, Model 421, and it has the headset and foot pedal connected to the phone itself.
I have managed to program the dial-in number successfully (yeah).
Their office manager is not helpful or knowledgeable about this at ALL. She just looks at me and says, "I have no clue about anything to do with the transcription."
When I call into the dictation server, it rings, connects, beeps once, and then sits there. I have looked at the instruction book (or a partial one that was given to me - book is ripped in half) and have tried the command #*18 to go into transcribe mode, but press the pedal and nothing happens, but I do hear three beeps.
In one part of the book, it says to program a quick access key to "sign off and get next" by using the number 8. I have also done this, but still - just three beeps.
Please help me - I am clueless. Always used FTP with digital recorders or Lanier, but never Dictaphone.
Thanks!
Thank You. Much Appreciated by Those of us Looking!
:8]
have a good day!
Burnt out and under appreciated
I can relate. My income is decreasing, my hours are increasing. My son is making more as a security guard at the local casino. I'm so tired at night I can't do anything. I think we all need vacations, if we could afford one.
It is SO nice to be appreciated by somebody!
I am so glad to see that somebody realizes these ESLs are practically impossible to understand, as the "higher-ups" in these outfits don't have a clue what we have to put up with, and they think our job is so easy-- we are "just typists", you know. I am just finishing up a very long night shift and you have made my day. Thanks again!
Thanks all for your responses. All help is truly appreciated!
We're just gonna ride it out. It's been 9 hours and he's still going. I did get him to agree to try to nibble a cracker and DH is bring home ginger ale and Gatorade was recommended by the NP, so we'll try that and maybe a popsicle and dry toast. Thanks for all the help. Say a prayer for us as we ride this out and pray I don't get it after him.
THANK YOU ALL...Greatly APPRECIATED
Thank you SO much for the help...and Doctalk...you were GREAT...thanx for all the info. I am working on this as we speak and appreciate your giving me all the information you have....
THANK YOU ALL!
Thank you all for these sites, they are truly appreciated (nm)
I didn't tell that to try to get anything from anyone though it is appreciated.
Things have progressively gotten worse for us since this summer. First having to work less to keep an eye on my child who is having problems, missing work to go to school, go to court, etc., then having work dry up AND having a company not pay in a timely manner. Not having insurance and having to spend hundreds of dollars a month on medicine. I was also a gestational surrogate and had the parents stiff me on bills, which eventually they paid but the stress of dealing with the lawyers and bill collectors didn't help. It has just been on thing after another...just piling on and drowning a bit at a time. We haven't paid rent on time since July and of course the landlord is upset. They have bills to pay too and I understand and appreciate that they haven't booted us yet. Next month I won't pay on time either and they are mulling over their options. I don't have money to move us anywhere and frankly no where to go. There are a couple homeless shelters here but they are scary and I don't think very safe.
I'm trying my hardest to dig us out. I think we'll be okay next year but I'm at my stress max now.
Thank you for answering. Much appreciated.

Thank you Jan for the info and the prayers - so appreciated. (nm)
any info good or bad would be appreciated
on JLG and All Type. Speaking with one, actual offer from the other but not sure about either. Concern for more is flexibility which they both promise, but I heard that one before.
Nice post! It is appreciated! Thanks! :-)

Your kind words are so appreciated.
I sincerely appreciate your so very kind words and you are definitely doing the most important thing, I feel - praying. I do believe in prayer. :) Thank you so very, very much.
I put my life in God's hands each and every day and have for many years now. :) That does not go to say that I am still not scared though for sure. :)
Thanks for that info! Greatly appreciated!

Thank you both!!! Much appreciated. Will relay the info. (nm)

It's nice to feel appreciated
and usually a rare occurrence to get that kind of recognition - good for you ! 
I appreciated your post just now but dontcha...
I appreciated what you just said in this post about union/organizing/mts....however, I think most of Americans are like this, not just MTs.
In this country, it seems to me (and I'm 3rd-4th generation), it's all about the individual and their pocketbook(s), finding a rare person who does actually think globally or universally.
I feel this way politically too....for 6+ years people are complaining, moaning, and groaning about the govt - but not a single person would challenge same govt, only challenging with words and not actions (not enough actions) - so they will continue to moan and groan, not getting off their duffs and doing anything REAL.
just my nickel's worth.....
Thank you both! Your advice is greatly appreciated. nm

I really appreciated these posts too. Today
I just increased my work load for myself (I am an IC) to afford more things at food shopping (LOL) and also because the holidays are coming. I keep crabbing on my days off (during the week BTW) that I don't have enough money, so I don't go anywhere. I scheduled myself just a bit more for those days off, about 3 hours extra a day. I figure if I can crab and stare at e bay, I can type a couple of hours. Now, I have to motivate to do so, and your suggestions here help a lot. It isn't just boredom it is the motivation instead of putting the energy to crabbing to myself, to actually type, get the work done. Even a little bit more will make me feel like I accomplished something. Now I will apply what you suggest above and I know it will help! Thanks so much!
To each their own. I appreciated FedUP's post.

Glad to know my experience is appreciated....
I was just told by a company that 8.5 cpl as an IC was too high, even with 20+ years of experience!
Thank you all for your kind wishes and prayers. It is much appreciated.
You are all great!
That is a wonderful benefit...and I am sure your daughter appreciated you being there...

I did bad, bad, bad!! Need a dictator! Lol nm
:)
I have one dictator who does that...sm
He's from either Britain or South Africa and he always clearly says *the patient is alert and orientated* and I give him *orientated*! It is a verbatim account! He speaks the true King's English, so if he says *orientated* (and he does ALL the time say that word) it's what I'm giving him. *lol*
And this is the dictator you get from the
that is MT friendly! Yeah right! I'll apply to the company that states "dictators are MT friendly! Been there done that, but I got a chuckle from your post!  Thanks for sharing! 
ESL dictator
LOL!, LOL!. LOL!!!!!!
Dictator......
Okay, I spoke with a girlfriend in south Texas who said they are seeing many ESL dictators refusing to speak English to dictate, demanding a bilingual Transcriptionist be found. There is a HUGE number of illegals in the areas and she says he gets their business and doesn't care...he is one that is outspoken out no border control and letting all illegals come and go as they please, so that speaks volumes there. Don't know about this guy though, but in a country where there is civility among its peoples, yes, you do need to speak one language to one another and in this country, that is English. If he wants to speak only Spanish, then let him go south of the border and he can dictate in Spanish all he wants.
Ask dictator
I ask the dictator and so far I have always been told they expect me to fix the report, that is not their specialty. It is harder to determine if you can't speak directly to the dictator though. I would never change it unless I had the dictators permission.
I have a new non-M.D. dictator, ESL who always
gives the diagnosis of high blood pressure as hypertensions, has to have that S on the end.
annoying dictator
Here's a good one; 7-1/2 minute dictation, first minute put on hold, then dictator dictates for two minutes, then says, Never Mind, Lets start this ALL OVER . And they wonder why we are tense 
Annoying dictator
If you are being paid by the line, I sure would dispute this! They have no idea, do they?
no you aren't...he's a bad dictator

If your dictator says DCD for discontinued
i want to put discontinued what would you put
Yup - 3 to 4K, depending on the day and the dictator. NM.....
dictator type
This may be unusual, but I have more problems with southern accents than with Asians! African-American and New Orleans patois also confound me. I find British and Australian accents delightful.
Dictator said DOB 1926, but then said...
59-year-old male - Should I correct this? TIA!
My present dictator
She underwent the above procedures without difficulty. period. ummm period. She ummm period. She ummm
 I think its time for a break already
Depends on the dictator....
Sometimes it is faster to type every word continuously, unless there's a difficult dictator, then you have no choice but to listen, stop, type, backup, listen again, backup, listen again....ya know?
Almost always the first except if a difficult dictator. (sm)
Then I am constantly listening again to make sure I have it correct.
