I know what you're talking about...sm
but I don't know what it is. SD10 and DH have each had one. SD's was pretty bad at the top of her leg. DH wants to pop it, but I don't think he should. I left mine alone. I still have a scar, but it's gone after a month.
Wonder what kind of spider this could be. I'm so paranoid of brown recluse because I've transcribed surgery reports about them!
You just don't know what you're talking about -- well, SM
you know what you are talking about, but we're not talking about the same things. I know a lot of people who make more money than I do. I could make more too, but I'm just too darn lazy. I'd die if I had to work 8 hours. I've been at this job for 6 years.
you have no idea what you're talking about

I guess we're probably talking $8-12 a day.

No you don't know what you're talking about. The point is
no matter what you call it or how you slice it, the only difference in tax payment between an IC and an employee is the 7.5% self employment taxes and also, less the deductible expenses. I don't know who does your taxes but I bet it isn't you because you don't know the first thing about them. It only costs 7.5% more to be IC status. period.
You have no idea what you're talking about (sm)
Depending on the state, you can be evicted in as little as ONE WEEK if you haven't paid rent and your landlord is being hard-nosed.
To the original OP: What state are you in? Have you called your local Legal Aid? Have you looked eviction law up online?
If you're talking about the ESP file...
to temporarily suspend it from expanding hit the Cntrl button twice..the ESP file will pop up...then hit your "P" button, it will put the ESP function on pause..then hit escape and type what you need to without expansions. Whenever you're ready, repeat the process. Cntrl-Cntrl.....P....(to release the pause this time)...then just hit escape and go on typing.
Hope this helps...or...sorry if this wasn't what you were asking about lol
Can you be more specific about what you're talking about?
Without information about what peripheral you're talking about, it's hard to answer your question. If you're talking about a foot pedal, you should be able to switch between computers without problem. If you're talking about something that needs to be registered (like an iPod), it's not as easy but not impossible, either.
You're talking about two different things.
I never said it was okay for a company to pay their bill late or not at all. I did say it's not true that a company is responsible for a person's financial situation. There are many factors that result in personal financial hardships--illness and debt to name just two. Good financial planning means that you have enough cushion to handle the bumps in life, including a late paycheck. Sure, paying late is an inexcusable problem, without doubt. Projecting the blame for bad financial planning on the company is not appropriate.
They're talking about working for sm
a company doing VR, not doing VR on their own. Those are the "editing" jobs you see.
I know what company you're talking about.
Congratulations and welcome aboard!!
I've done what you're talking about
You will need a laptop (of course) and a USB broadband connection card. You can get one of those from pretty much every cell phone provider out there: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket, USCellular, etc. Cricket is the only one that offers no-contract service without charging an arm and a leg. Verizon's daily rate is $15/24 hours. Cricket's monthly rate is $40. The rest of the monthly rates are usually around $60 but include a 2-year contract. Unfortunately, Cricket is not available nationwide, just certain metropolitan areas, so it would depend on where you're traveling whether Cricket would work or not for you. Verizon and AT&T cover MOST of the USA, but at higher prices.
Anyway, you can also recharge your laptop through your car's cigarette lighter. You would need an adapter that would cost about $30 from Wal-Mart. Doing it that way requires that you idle your car (or drive around) for however long it takes to fully charge your laptop.
For length of typing time, you might want to buy a 6-cell or 8-cell laptop battery instead of the 4-cell that laptops often come with. That will extend your battery life from 2 hours to perhaps 4-5 hours, depending on your laptop size. Those little netbooks for $350 sometimes come with a 6-cell battery and claim to last 5-6 hours on a single charge. The keyboards on those are tiny though - you'll probably want to hook up a USB keyboard if you go that route.
For the sake of privacy, you WILL want to get some form of USB broadband through a cell phone carrier if you're traveling. Free WiFi just isn't secure enough for HIPAA compliance. When I'm working with my USB card while traveling, I also turn off the wireless signal on my laptop, so that others on whatever wireless network is available do not have the option of trying to view my computer contents. Also, I set my settings as private as I can to prevent sharing of files across networks, but I do that at home too.
If you're going to be typing in front of other people, you'll also want to get a 3M privacy screen for your laptop's screen. That prevents people from viewing your screen from a side angle, and means that if you're in front of your screen then you're the only one who can see its contents.
I just googled a little bit and see what you're talking about...
and I downloaded the zip file myself to see. Are you sure you extracted them to the correct place? I got 2 dll's and 1 ini that, according to the Readme, are supposed to go in the C:Program FilesNCH Swift SoundSCRIBE folder.
I guess if you did all that and it still doesn't work, the next step would be to contact NCH.

It sounds like you may have already been that route, and/or through the forums, though.
If you're calling me an idiot, you must be one of the ones I'm talking about.

who said anything about daisy dukes? We're talking
Are elderly people supposed to cover up from head to toe just because the rest of society do not want to see wrinkles? Come on now, we're all headed there anyways and there are more seniors than ever. Get used to it.
I say if you look in the mirror at yourself before you leave the house and you're okay with it, then its all that matters. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK!
Look who's talking. You're telling us what to post.
You evidently think you're perfect by your condescending posts. Here's why I won't help any more. There have been others, too.

I posted a message yesterday and NO ONE answered it. I'm sure I'll get answers to THIS post though. Thanks a lot for your help (or should I say lack of!) URGH!
this is too funny when you're probably talking to people
who have a lot more weight to lose than you must have and will probably NEVER see the size 8 that you started at. only a dream for me, that's for sure!
No, they don't know what they're talking about. The California bill was

Are you sure you're not talking about e-Trans Plus? e-Tranz
e-Tranz does not offer benefits and have no employees, all ICs.
The owner has a habit of not paying the NEW MTs whom she hires just to get back into TAT but then does not to pay them. I was an MT for that company, and it was an awful and terribly stressful experience, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. When I would email her (at first) and practically plead with her to pay me, she shot back some very sadistic and unprofessional emails, sounding as if she was getting joy from what she was doing. It was the worst experience I'd ever had with any MTSO. She blocked my emails, and I couldn't ever reach her by phone.
She ended up paying me eventually after 2 months had passed since that last invoice, but that was only after I informed her via a third party that I would definitely be paying her a visit in person for a little face-to-face, one-on-one "discussion" about our little problem.
Please, please don't ever work there, especially if you live paycheck to paycheck and need that money to survive each month.
They're not talking about format "style"
The AAMT BOS is not a format guide. It talks about the proper way to transcribe numbers, grades, classifications, how to write out titles, just many, many, many useful tools like that. It is a way to try to regulate the transcription business to a degree. Many don't agree with it, but it is one way and at least it is one way that is comprehensive. If you don't have an AAMT BOS 2nd edition, I highly recommend you purchase one. Not only will you need it for your job, but you will be surprised at what you will learn just perusing the book. I had been an MT for 25 years when I "discovered" the 1st edition. It taught me that I had been writing a lot of things incorrectly. At any rate, the BOS 2nd edition is a good addition to any MT library. Good luck to you.
If you're talking about the one in AZ, that ad has been running for many months. sm
Lots of discussion on another board about it. Seems they keep the ad going regardless of whether they're actually hiring, just to amass a great big pile of applications for when they do have an opening.
oh my gosh, I know which company you're talking
about. That is the same one as our hospital. I'll be glad when they get canned! Which will be happening once the contract is up ... hopefully sooner!
I found the keyboard you're talking about...
do you remember about how long it took you to get used to it? Do you think you're faster on it? thanks for any info you can provide!
I know which testing place you're talking about, and I won't
test through them either. Most of the bigger nationals go through them now, don't they? The way I feel about it is if I didn't have what it takes to make it in this career field, I wouldn't have lasted this long. Try the smaller MTSOs. The tests are maybe 1-3 little dictation files, the workload is less stressful, and you'll make more money.
You're talking about a separate program add-in.
In the standard MS Word program, there is no such creature as "word count" on the Tools menu. Either you're not useing MS Word or your company added this program. The other poster is telling you how to get the line count using the MS Word statistics/properties for a document.
If your company has added this program feature, they can configure it any way then want to and you're at their mercy.
Please make sure in the future when you say you're working in "Word" that it is MS Word as that is the assumption that will be made by anyone reading your post.
True. So then don't work. We're talking CHOICES here. nm

you're talking about those cute smileys right? I wanta know too!!!NM

Actually, it started long before the post you're talking about.
'Shroom had nothing nice to say in a number of different threads, mostly because she didn't want to believe what people were telling her about the kind of income they are able to generate by working for themselves. Either way, the word is inappropriate and should not be used. Fighting among each other is non-productive and only makes this site less useful to those who need information, encouragement and a place to turn for advice. The "advice" and name calling that was undertaken by 'Shroom is inappropriate and should be deleted.
Brush up on anatomy, so you can follow along with what they're talking about. NM

Yes! We're talking critical skill developement here! nmx

No, they're talking about Internet phone calls, not FTP transfers.
The physicians aren't actually calling you over the Internet to dictate. You're downloading sound files and uploading documents.
Well, we're talking about America, NOT globalization. And, this site is all American.

Exactly. If they're so smart, why are they talking about moonlighting at Burger King?
Getting evicted.
Behind on their bills.
Can't afford Christmas gifts for their kids.
Can't be that smart, people!
If you're talking about MetroScript, I didn't find that they had any extra fees (sm)
They pretty much only charge you for what you use. I only pay $14.99 per month and it works great for me.
Heather
A couple of things (offered in kindness):
1. It is not a good idea to sign on to this or any other chat board with your name, for many reasons.
2. If the "company" will not pay you, what makes you think your own clients will? What will you do then?
Sounds to me like you need to take some basic business management courses. This is not a criticism; just a suggestion offered in a friendly way.
Heather vs Linda
 Well in my opinion, Heather never had a leg to stand on compared to Linda.
Yeah and now she is insinuating that Heather
was actually having an affair and with, of all people, David Spade?!?! What's up with that? LOL
Obviously, Heather didn't - but I'll take
I will always LOVE the Beatles. I LOVE YOU - YEA, YEA, YEA! 
Well.....I guess Heather Mills said NO to that one. LOL!

How about Denise Richards/Heather Locklear.

Heather knows David Spade since 10th grade
David Spade and Heather Locklear were in the 10th grade together so they have a long history......they did try dating this past year but that didn't work, according to David on TV just the other night.
It's a toss up between Denise Richards and Heather Locklear...BUT...
Katie Holmes and Angelina Jolie are great role models too!!!!!!!
no biggie, Linda was class act, Heather N_O_T
When the GROWN-UP kids (in their 30s) don't like the second wife, something is not right in Glocamora. While I wasn't all that fond of Linda, she was a CLASS act and was the daughter of Eastman-Kodak fame. Everyone remember the Brownie Cameras from the 1940s-1950s? That was Linda's family as I remember it or the Eastman's hooked up with the Kodak family right around then or in the very very early 60s. My short-term memory isn't that good (isn't that the first to go after the eyes start? *lol*) but my long-term is on target most times. *lol*
DOG: Alex. CATS: Betsy, Heather, Kim, Buzz, Mango, and Ashlee Kaloo
Love my pets!
Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.
.
Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
