We didnt know it would be like this until we got transferred. I only got transferred within the past
4 weeks. I already have my resume out and have talked to another company. It was okay until the accounts and offices get closed and we ended up at Amherst. I am sure a lot of us are leaving.
E-mailed glossary from work computer to PC but glossary isn't readable.
After literally two days of working on this, finally got my glossary to my personal computer and into IT V Pro which I upgraded (thank you Christina!!!). But my entries are all garbled.
I hope this isn't some safety feature used by my national to keep us from using company glossaries though I did create this myself over three years.
Job starts in three days (radiology) and I so need this glossary. Hate to start over again...as you well know.
Anyone? TIA :)
i got transferred too
it is crazy, never ran out of work until they moved us to amherst, they OVERLOAD bad....labor day wkend was a joke working for them, email on sunday they are desperate for ppl to work, by monday, no work
I Was Transferred
My office did close. My account was transferred to unfamililar territory and I have found this office to be far superior to the one I worked with before. Just 1 example: I was given a backup account when my main account volume was low. I did well with this account, but did not care for it. After several days, I tried my main account but kept getting the message that all requested dictation had been transcribed. After a few more days I got suspicious and dialed in using another MT ID number. There it was! Work available! It turns out that the woman in charge of my account had "blocked" me from getting into it so I was forced to the do the backup account. It seemed that another MT had quit and that left this account short of MTs. Instead of being honest with me and asking me to help out until they hired another MT, she just blocked me from getting in. So as you can see, it was not all that great with this office. When it closed, I felt bad for those who lost their jobs that worked in that office, but I also felt that I could trust the new office to not do that to me again. I was right. They were all shocked and very disappointed that an employee of MQ would pull such a stunt. I have been with this office for several months now and have been treated no less than wonderful. I am sure there are other good companies out there to work for, but for me, I am staying put. However, if you leave in good standing, MQ always welcomes you back, so you are right--what do you have to lose? I tried it, and if you need to test newer waters, I say go for it.
LOL I don't know. I do know they transferred their corporate
helpdesk back to the U.S. because it comprises 90% of their sales. I think it was 90%. The home users have to put up with the offshores tech support. I bought a Dell, too, because I figured I could do my own tech support without buying anything extra or calling them. Shoot, $300 for a computer and printer. They had to have lost money on that deal, right? I don't know if that was right or wrong of me if I'm against offshoring, but I really needed a new computer.
Anyway, you might try Dell's online knowledge base to search for the answers to your issues. Do you think you'd be able to fix it yourself with detailed instructions? What kind of problem are you having? Maybe I can help.
Has anyone had 8mm or Super 8 film transferred to DVD?
Seems to me it would be a great X-mas gift. I found one of my brother (now 55+) when he advanced from cub scouts to boy scouts.
I tried to check out a couple of websites, but it's all Greek to me.
I cant believe it. I was just transferred to Amherst and said how much help they needed this weekend
and guess what. NO WORK. Are these people playing games up there with us and our livelihood. I am getting thoroughly disgusted and I think we should talk to corporate about this. There is no sense to this anymore. There is someone up there that must hate MTs and enjoys doing this. They have to be nuts. Is there someone up there we can talk to beyond these idiots that monitor the accounts.
Yes, live on W Coast and my acct transferred
over to Amherst.
I dont know about your accounts there but my office was transferred there and since then all the
accounts and people in my office have their accounts running out. It took a few weeks after being transferred there but finally they got all of them because they want that 1 hour TAT on accounts there and that is what they are trying to do. So I dont think it is a few isolated accounts. My office had tons of accounts that went up there on DQS and we are all in the same boat.
Ooops, transferred the 25 years old to your age at the time.

You'd need to ask the tech if your abbrns. in ESP could be transferred should you ever leave
s
You purchase the plans which allow so much data to be transferred.
I paid for the $59.99 monthly package, which is a lot of data usuage and have used programs such as Dictaphone ExText and Escription on the road. It seems like someone told me you'd have to pretty much be on it nonstop to use up all the data allowance but you can check it out here..http://b2b.vzw.com/broadband/bbapccard.html
Has anyone asked to be transferred out to an office that MIGHT be open for awhile. Is there anyone
in Amherst that is willing to get this situation taken care of or is that a lost cause.
I have been in the same boat since being transferred to Amherst. I have contacted New Jersey and
spoken with one of THOSE WOMEN and have gotten very little response other than oh we will see what we can do and things continue to just go on the way they were. I think it will take a lot of people calling Human Resources and emailing those 2 women or getting transferred or quitting that will change things MAYBE. Are many people quitting up there in Amherst. I know since my office has been transferred they are quitting now.
Just got transferred to the Amherst office and am wondering what to expect from that transfer.
Can anyone tell me anything about how they operate that office. Do you have work in your regular accounts without hundreds of backups or what is the situation.
My goodness, there are MQ offices crying for help. Gets transferred out of Amherst to Ohio or one of
the other offices. I will do that if they run me out of work at Amherst. I dont plan to stick around long if that happens.
Your glossary
Lyndia,
I'm always looking for ways to expand my production, I'd love the share ideas.
Please e-mail me at mtmpwork@aol.com.
Thakns in advance!

I would be glad for you to share your glossary with me. I am in my first year at this and I need all the help I can get.

I am a newbie and I have Smartype. I would love to have a copy of your glossary too. :)
If you need a glossary for IT...sm
Email me, and I'll send you a copy of mine. If you send me your phone number, I'll call you and help you get it set up as well.
I have used this glossary for 9+ years. I started using it when I had been an MT for about 2.5 years. It has helped me make a lot of money over time and every year I have used it I do a bit better than the previous year, income wise. I am happy to share it and anything else I know about expanders.
Can I add glossary from V Pro to III Pro>
I work for a national that put IT V Pro on my system and it contains all my expanders. I have just taken a PT job and will be using my other computer and IT III pro. Is it possible to insert the IT III PRO floppy into my national's computer and transfer the glossary onto it?
And, in worst case scenario, I will be purchasing IT V Pro. I have scanned the site but do not see where "Buy Now" is an option. The forum doesn't appear to have a sales section either.
Thank you for your help - starting a new job is both exciting and challenging.
If I do all of the drs in 1 glossary
Because it seems like when I compile all of the doctors into one big glossary, Instant Text misses a lot of the common phrases. If I compile a separate glossary for each doctor then I have to constantly switch glossaries. I occasionally get a doctor several times in a row but not often enough. I am wondering if there are certain settings like when you do the compilation where you put in the maximum words per phrase, that I should be doing differently? Anyone know anything about that?

I would go to productivitytalk.com. They have lots of lists!
That's in the singles glossary
Whichever singles glossary you are using is the one you have to alter. Be careful not to corrupt the directory structure!
You might check the IT forums, I think there are some threads there about the proper way to do this if you haven't modified this before.
This is how I did it starting with no glossary at all.
I am in Radiology. I created my own glossary by pulling in the glossaries that would be utilized and then added my own phrases and words as I did not have a glossary created to import.
I love IT now. It is easy and fast. Be patient. I hated it at first, too, as I was constantly ~reading~ but it does get better. The IT site has very helpful and comprehensive information for each trouble you encouter.
I keep a main glossary
for english phrases like "There was no" and phrases that would be used in any medical report like "The patient was". I keep a separate glossary for each medical specialty. I put each docs phrases into their specialty glossary rather than giving each doc their own glossary. So all ortho docs phrases go into my ortho glossary, etc. Then I just include my main glossary and my drug glossary with the specialty glossary. I do one doctor who repeats the same sentences in each report, so I do have a glossary just for him, but he is an exception. I can usually do a 40 line report for him and never had to type a complete sentence. He is awesome!
Did you convert your SH glossary to IT? sm
I think you can do that. If you can, that means you already know your shortcuts. Also, IT has some extra glossaries that may be making it more difficult for you. Please email me if you need some help on this and I'll try to help you. IT is not what I use on a regular basis, but it has been.
I am a midwife and i was attempting to deliver a baby, face presentation, and transferred to hopsita
was working with doc to try to reposition the baby without the face but wasn't successful and ended up with c-section. happy b-day to her!!!

Glossary conversion question...would appreciate ANY help! sm
I have been using Instant Text for quite a few years, but wanted to switch to Stedman's Smart Type. My co-worker uses it on the same account and is doing on average 50 lines per hour more than me. She and I type about the same speed so I'd at least like to give it a try.
Does anyone know if it is possible to convert my IT glossary into Smart Type? I guess I'm an old dog, but I just can't bring myself to start from scratch with a new glossary. Thank you!
Instant text glossary
I was reading the board and saw the mention of using your glossary. I did a dumb thing....My hard drive crashed and I had not backed up my glossary so I am trying to recreate...so the addition of your glossary would be a big help TIA.

Tried attaching glossary to e-mail but ...
It stated "this is not a valid win32 application." The work computer is in my office with my PC.
The e-mail (sent from Spheris computer) had a security program attached to it.
I will keep trying.
Thank you kindly.
Also there is a glossary on above-mentioned site...sm
it is called qdecimals, which you put qbefore your numbers and it puts the decimal in without the space.
Need a Smartype ready glossary
Does anyone know where I can find an expansion list that I can upload to Smartype all at once...not one by one?
TIA
How to copy a glossary to a new computer
I have a new computer with IT existing that I would like to update with the old computer's glossary, especially one. I figured out how to email it to myself, but am not sure exactly step by step how to get it to the new computer. I am not sure if I'd be replacing the old one or updating it. The old one also has some includes, so it gets confusing from there. At this point, I would be content just to have the main glossary...I think...Eeek. Can someone help please? Thanks! 
double click the glossary that the error is in; sm
when it brings up the box, find the word/phrase you want to delete or change. once your cursor is on the line in the error, hit the delete button. FYI, you can also edit it rather than delete it.
Export the glossary to a .txt file and print from there.
To do that (with IT open), right click over the phrases heading and select Importer. Then select the Workshop tab and Export.
We did not receive your email with your glossary attachment
Hi Kim,
According to our records, Marianne sent you a file to resolve the issue. I still did not receive your email with the glossary attachment and I am not sure why it did not come through to my email but Marianne was able to receive it and she replied with the file attachment. Did you still have trouble after receiving Marianne's email? If so, please let us know and we will give you a call so we don't have to worry about having any more lost emails. :-)
I have 4000 glossary entries to transfer to a
I'm going from DocQScribe to an Ex-Text platform and I have to reinput the phrases in one-by-one. Should I do this as the phrases come up? Is it preferable to just make some time to re-type the whole list at multiple settings?
I saved the individual glossary as an attachment
and then emailed it to myself at my yahoo address. Then I could log onto yahoo email on the other computer, save the attachment to my hard drive and then use it with the IT program installed on that computer. I also email a copy of my glossary to myself at yahoo about every month or so (hotmail or anything web based would work) because if my hard drive ever crashes, then I have a backup of my glossary that has nothing to do with my hard drive and I won't lose months and months of additions. If I add a bunch of expansions at one time, then I email a new copy to myself more often. Hope that helps.
Yes, but can you convert a Smart Type glossary?

Will this glossary transfer to the ESP feature in EXText?
I know I have emailed you before but I chose that financially I just couldn't afford a Expander right now and then I found out that there is one built into the EXText. I'm trying to build that up but as I have never used Expanders before I am at a loss as to what to put into it. Thanks.

Is there a way to convert an Instant Text glossary to work with Smartype?
Thanks
You can add phrases to single word glossary in IT (SM)
When you insert the medication and other information, hit tab and then, backspace to the first letter. It will ask you "are you sure? and just hit return and it will accept it.
I have many two and three word phrases in my single word glossary list. There is a web site for IT users which you can Google for; it is easy to find - forum style.
Moving or copying IT glossary to another computer
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I recently copied one of my IT glossaries to a different computer by this method using a CD ROM disk (a jump drive would also work):
Scroll down the page where it says "moving IT to a new computer":

Your Shorthand expanders can become separate glossary. s/m KyITuser
Instant text actually comes loaded with dozens of different glossaries stored into a separate glossary folder. For instance, to name a few: Medwords.glo, (glo is a filename for glossary), Legal.glo, ER.glo, GenMed.glo, etc. I could go on. After I imported my PRD+ expanders, I created a folder for it and just named it (after my first name), Toni.glo. So when I pull up IT, I just click on my Toni.glo file and go to work.
Ironically, I'm looking into ShortHand because even though IT has SO, SO many different functions...so many that I will never learn in this lifetime, that in itself is the only con...other than the price $189.00 and no trial period is offered!
Personally, the best advice I can give is to visit the productivity board and browse through it. Don't get me wrong, IT has to be the most advanced expansion program on the market, but again, being so advanced is it's only pitfall. If you are like me, an IC paid on production, I just don't have the time to sit around and play with it. I hope I didn't confuse you even more. Good luck!
With IT open, right mouse click on the glossary in the IT box that you want to save. sm
Choose from the pop-up menu, either Save As or Save active glossary list.
Thanks!...good idea about adding the def to the glossary...I'll try that too
