pulls from my reports done in word and counts the lines and tacks my line rate onto it. You can customize it to fit your invoicing/tallying needs. You can check it out at Sylvans website. They also offer a free 90-day trial on their product.

If they use Sylvan Gold, you can ..sm
www.sylvansoft.com - You can get a 30-day free trial and you can count your documents there to get your line counts. You will have to check with the MTSO to find out the counting parameters to set it up, like whether they count any formatting changes, headers/footers, etc., but it's real easy to set up and use. I've used it for years. I tried other line counting programs, but Sylvan always gave me higher count than others. It's user friendly, too, so I just stuck with it.
Once you download the free trial (find out which version they use before downloading), then when you get their subscriber info (assuming they are letting you use their subscription), you can just put in the authorization no. and all, and you should be good to go.
Sylvan here too......

Sylvan spellcheck
Had a free 30-day(?) trial. Also bought Instant Text after resisting for many years. Now I love it. Worth every penny.
If you buy from Sylvan, I hope it works...
I paid $90 for a defective product with them and they would not send me a new one or give me my money back. I told them over the phone that I wouldn't do business with them again and their response was very arrogant, something about having other customers who would. It has been Stedman's ever since. If I have a problem with a CD from Stedman's, I get another one sent to me. No problem.
Stedman's and Sylvan are two good ones

That could just be one or two invoices to
that medical center. Walk in shoes ...
However, if you have clients of that size, you should be able to get a line of credit OR use a factoring company such as PRN. We did for a while, and it got us through a bad cash flow period. MTs have to be paid correctly on time or there is no business.
IC invoices
I am a new IC Transcriptionist and I was trying to find an invoice on the internet for transcriptionists. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks!
"To" invoices?

What do invoices have to do with MTs getting paid..sm
Sounds like a crock. A very unprofessional way to run a business/company. They have a regular TAT, right? They want the work done by a certain time, right? MTs should have a regular payday, then, without exception.

I use Sylvan software's medical spell checker and ...am
also their Shortcut word expander. I love both of them. Unfortunately, the spellchecker does not work in DocQscribe, which I work in now. I wish I could get it to because I hate the DocQScribe spellchecker.
I personally don't like MPCount and they way the invoices look.
Curiously I was told by Sylvan Software this a.m. that IT WILL work with Chartscipt - sm
The only thing is I could not get them to specific it would work with Chartscript.net. They would only say Chartscript, claiming they were told by the developer it would work. I get very frustrated with these companies selling products they know nothing about.
The MTSO has paid the outstanding invoices.

I should explain that I had to do this because of an account that would hold the invoices until they

Laplink Gold?
Did you have to buy Laplink Gold?
Whirlpool Gold
I have the stove, refrigerator and dishwaher all. They have a good warranty and a high consumer satisfaction rating. If you have a Lowe's or Best Buy in your area, try those two. Either will match the other price and beat it by 10%.
You are 100% correct - It's the GOLD one...sm
I thought it was 85 pages long *L* and I thought the one I bought not 2 years ago was the ONLY second edition....it came with a CD also. *S* Thanks for clearing that up for me. 
Solid Gold . . . nm

I 2nd that. Slycount Gold.
Gold touch keyboards
I have had mine for about a year now and I will never use any other kind. The touch on these keyboards are wonderful! You can't go wrong with a Gold touch.
Maybe that's it. Mine is SylCount Gold and relatively new.

Gold in them thar' hills!
If you keep your word books handy, and build up your skills, one day you will see the light bulb go on! The surgeons say pretty much the same thing every time. The longer the report the better, because you don't have to worry about medication names and dosages. You don't have to take so much time with setting up the demographics. I have always loved the operative notes. You can almost see the procedure taking place in your mind. You can save every other sentence in your expander. Remember, that the human anatomy stays the same, only the names of the instruments change. Once you have taught yourself (or abbreviated) the anatomy, you can just "get in the groove." While it may seem awful tonight, please take my word for it, it can be a real money-maker. Good luck to you. See you on the Word Board!
Now, now,. No gold stars for little girls and boys
who have an ugly attitude. You might have to sit in the corner.
Hahahahahahahaha
I have that too, I call it liquid gold, it is SO expensive.
My pharmacy charges $65 for a 2 inch tube of it, but it does work well.
Something else about the Gold Touch.(Should I be getting a kick back from them?)
Something else about the Gold Touch. I have my chair positioned so hands do not point up or down. I try to keep them as neutral as possible. I also make sure my arms are resting on the armrests, so I am not using any strain/tension to keep them in place and even. I rest one arm on a little pillow wedged at my side since my short little arms don't rest on the arm rests in a comfortable position for me. Then I fly. I hardly have to move my hands at all, the fingers do the typing, so to speak. lol.
I did my office is yellow-gold with brown
tones and then with thinned brown craft paint ragged on using an old T-shirt. Turned out great and elegant. I also did my bathroom in green tones. People think its wall paper. This technique also hides any flaws you may have in your wall because it sort of gives it a 2D effect.
Well, give Minnie a gold star. SM
Like or not, Minnie, some of us got into this profession because it allows us to be at home, run our households, and work at the same time.
Every MT who is a professional is worth their weight in gold.
Lately, there has been a lot of grumbling on these boards about new versus older MT, less experience, more experience, this, that and the other. The best and most accurate statement I have heard was from a hospital MT director when she told us (those who were students all of the way up to those who were there to retirement) that ALL of her medical transcriptionists, were worth their weight in GOLD.
Each step of the way most of us, or at least those who consider themselves professional,and who act in accordance of being a professional (Professional in my mind are those who remember patient care while striving for the line count, those who appreciate the importance of our job as we serve others, while we bring home the bacon) act as professionals and our nature will not change When new we may appear eager and more flexible, but as we grow in the business and gain years of experience we as professionals must daily recognize the value of staying flexible while we are challenged with more difficult work than those less experienced. Just as diamonds in the rough smooth out and have a different kind of worth, so do new MTs and more experienced MTs have different worth.
What is important is that together they both contribute to a diamond mine of great value to those who they serve (the MTSO, the hospital, finally and most importantly the patient).
I say that we boost each other up instead of putting each other down. I say one bad apple does not spoil the bunch. And to the boss like mine I had and other MTSO owners who agree with that statement, I say keep your team's self-esteem growing by a thank you for a good job every now and then. To the MT, please appreciate your boss and MTSO if they show you the respect you deserve and when times are tough and tempers flare realize that a difficult situation has not changed your professionalism or your value, and that tomorrow is another day.
Bravo to the professionals who remember why they came to this career to begin with, what it was like,and appreciate young and old. Bravo to the supervisors and MTSOs who do not kick the legs out from under themselves by forgetting to appreciate and treat with respect the MTs who hold them up.
Merry Christmas to my friends here who have cheered me this holiday season. I think no matter who you are or where you are at in your career, if you remember all your blessings when times are difficult or when they are fantastic, when you remain your professional "self", you will indeed continue to shine in this New Year. Thanks for listening. Peace and prosperity this 2008!
Sterling Silver and Niobium mainly, some gold -- mainly earrings....
but I want to get back into it, more in silver though as niobium was more of a fad, but I do like to mix the 2 for the contrast and color. That is probably what I will concentrate on, that and hand made chains (complex but I enjoy doing them a lot). If my husband made 10-15K more a year I could probably concentrate on it FT....but he is already at the cap pretty much for his job, so now IF he gets a raise its basically just cost of living. His company sucks for raises, does not give on merit, just gives everyone the same regardless of how good or bad they are at their job (service engineer for electron microscopes). Well maybe in 5-7 years when the mortgage is paid off .......
To me, Dorlands will always be the gold standard. I have one, and use their online source also. nm

WOW! Productivity Talk is a gold mine of info!

Didn't take long at all, maybe a day or two. I love my Gold Touch.

i don't need gold stars like you and dano and your alter egos. i need to be paid.
seems like you would want to be paid so you could continue your goal to be a doctor. bwaaaaahaaaaaaaa. a doctor posting endlessly on podunk MT board. that's rich.
try OTC cortisone anti-itch or Gold Bond cream first?

Invoices. Does anyone have a good invoice software program they use other than MPCount invoice?
