Is this like a credit card thing or what? Where do you get it/cost? I will be doing a lot of camping this year and will need to download files and work while still connected to the internet.

I had been wondering the same thing
I couldn't figure out what she meant.
I have been wondering the same thing..
who are the new owners, and how do we find out who they are? And if that is the case, why are we all back here after her site was hijacked, stolen, and then started back up with new owners? I am confused and can't make heads or tails of all of this.
I saw that article. I was wondering the same thing
you were. I, for one, wouldn't be able to tell you the size of the left atrium on the spot. There are a lot of things I could catch, but many, like things like this, we have to trust the expertise of the doctor.
If I need to learn things like the size of the left atrium, etc, then I want to be PAID commensurate with a doctor! Alas, we are NOT paid the same as a doctor. We are paid to get on paper what HE says, fixing grammar and alerting to possible descrepancies. That's how I feel about that.
I was wondering the same thing about Canada.....

I'm in the 40's club also Kiki and wondering the same thing but the way I sm
see it is I'll be working until I'm at least 70, so I have a good 30 years left to work! Funny thing is I'll be going to college at the same time as my oldest 2 children which is kind of neat!!
USB WiFi
My friend has a Freightliner truck that is like a house inside and most of the areas he stops at have WiFi or I would like to maybe get Sprint Unlimited, etc. So you think any USB adapter that has the slot where you plug in the wireless broadband card will work with a desktop computer the same as a laptop? The truck has a built in desk which would hold the monitor, hardrive, keyboard, etc. to transcribe from. I would feel uncomfortable transcribing on a laptop as it feels so portable.
its called WIFI
you need to find an open connection, satelitte..then connect. are you talking about a labtop?
I don't know if you mean WiFi or the air card.
The air card lets you connect to the internet provided there is service available in the area. Just like cell service if there is no service it doesn't work.
WiFi works in the same way, if there is a network available within range you can connect to it, but unless it is an open hotspot you have to have a password to connect to it. Most computers now come WiFi compatible. If you have an older computer you can get a WiFi card that slides into a slot on your laptop. They range in price from about $40 up to $100+ and can be found at any computer store, or a store like Best Buy or Circuit City.
More detail?
Can you be more specific about what the * signifies? Are you using a template where you would be going to a particular field all the time or to a particular heading or something. If you are going to the same word, I can help you write a macro for that but I would need to know what you mean exactly.
You can get an internal board for WiFi or you can get a
USB WiFi, but you have to have WiFi availability where you are traveling in order to get WiFi. I've never done it, but you can hook an external monitor to your laptop so you wouldn't have to carry a desktop (I can't picture how you connect a monitor and still have your computer work because I picture that your laptop is shut, which makes mine shut down).
Satellite/WiFi/Broadband
I am going to return to working at home soon. My husband has retired and we are going to be spending a portion of our time in Scotland in a private residence with a wireless connection. In looking at the requirements of several of the company websites I have found, they apparently do not allow satellite or WiFi connections. Do any of you travel and use your laptop for work? If so, what sort of connection do you use? When I was working for Medquist I worked from Scotland with a wireless connection, password protected, in two separate private homes, no direct computer to modem connection, and had no problems with this at all. This was a couple years ago. I am currently employed at a local hospital, so I cannot ask my current employer about this. Many thanks to anyone who has an answer.
Did you have to go into such great detail?
Apparently you spent quite a bit of time cruising the spaces on myspace...sickening...
can you explain in detail how you can do that?
Because unless you have a ton of normals I can't see how anyone even the fastest typist can do that - been doing this for 25 years and still type over 100 lpm
It wasn't far off at all. I can't go into detail though obviously.

Use of WiFi versus dial-up for MT work
Hi all,
Posted this on the technical board as well and just wanting to get some imput -- I just moved to an area were the ONLY options for me are dial up or wireless internet. One of the companies that I work for "gave me the go-ahead" to be able to use wireless, but with the advice to have dial-up available as a "back-up". The other company said that it really wasn't that stable. I am in clear view of the wireless tower and about 5 miles away. I have had both cable and DSL in the past, and have had times when my cable would go out for hours, due to "various reasons". What I am trying to find out is why wireless is considered "so unstable" when I feel that some of the other high-speed internet connections are just as unstable and if there ARE medical transcriptionists out there that do use wireless and what their experience has been with it.
TIA
Think of WiFi as a cell phone signal.
Have you ever had a call dropped, or the signal go from 5 bars to 1? WiFi speed depends on the amount of traffic, weather, interference from construction, etc. I think it is always wise to have some form of backup available just in case. I have Earthlink cable, but I also get 20 hours of dial-up with that. I have a laptop, so if my power goes out at least I can download and continue to work with a dial-up connection.
Yep, it IS just one little detail, the fact that you are slave to them, but when they

Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

ALSO wondering
I was just noting recently the whole ASR idea was not working as they originally planned, ALL ASR goes back through the same system from all accounts, and I have been noticing that some "learning" has changed, i.e., it will "learn" what a dictator says, then after going back through the system a couple times it "unlearns" and goes back to being wrong......... maybe they are figuring out it is not advance as well as planned ???
I'm also wondering...sm
if a Dictaphone can be used in place of a C-phone. Does anyone know? Thanks!
Just wondering
Anyone ever get a little b----y with tech support and get talked to by your boss about it? Tonight I was having nothing but computer problems plus trying to meet a deadline. This tech support guy was a real winner (not). He just flat out could not help me, plus I could hear a vacuum running in the background. I didn't yell or anything but I was quite frustrated and sarcastic. It's late at night and I'm PMSing!!! Do they ever "tell" your supervisor when that happens?

Like I said, there's always someone out there with a wise answer...Not Naughty,naughty, and no, it's not my OPINION. It's a fact. Polite is polite, rude is hurtful.and nasty. If you don't feel like re-answering questions, be polite and pass them onto someplace where they can get the answers OR don't answer at all.

i worked for a company that wanted the equipment back before i would get my last check. not smart. had to fight for it. just curious where is the company located?
Just wondering, if you used your
phone line for work, such as C phone, would that give them the right to listen in on your phone calls or look at your phone bill? What if they reumburse you for the extra phone line? Does that give them the right to listen to your phone calls on that line?

If you don't mind sharing, what is your skin care regimen like?
I am only asking because my husband and I have been going round and round about the fact that I buy Oil of Olay Total Effects and the Total Effects eye gel, plus the night cream. He thinks I'm crazy, that they don't work. I say why take the chance that they DO work and miss out on the benefits.
I'm going on 37, but think I look pretty good for my age. Just wondering if anyone else buys into these notions that these products can help us *age gracefully*. I don't want to look like I'm in my 20s cause I'm not...I have a son who's almost 19...so I'm proud of my age, just don't necessarily want to look quite as old as I am....thanks and have a wonderful day! 
Thank you. I was wondering how this could be done. nm

I read in your post that you "don't agree with people who use it [abortion] as a form of birth control." I was wondering why. Is it because you feel that one abortion is OK, but more than one will make it wrong, and if so, why was the first one not wrong?
Or, is it because abortion is too expensive and just too much on the woman's body to use as a form of birth control? I don't understand your comment and wish you could explain how you arrived at that. Thank you very much.

Just wondering if anyone has gotton a job without having to take a medical transcription course?
Yes, I was wondering and
I hope you get what you pay for, Service. I hate to see folks like you bragging about getting applicants to do work for nothing. This makes me sick.
What comes around goes around. I hope you enjoy your status at this time, because things like this surely come back to haunt you.
Excuse me while I go BARF!
i was wondering the same, and
was told 'no'. So, what i did (had to start w/new computer) is open notepad and minimize it. Then bring up my favorites. One by one i'd click on a favorite. Then i'd copy and paste from the address bar onto notepad. It actually went real quick. Then it printed out the notepad info and as i needed these sites on the new computer, just typed the addresses in my address bar and re-added to favorites. That's the best way i found to transfer the info.
was wondering who would ask :}~
Yes, I typed the banner advertisement exactly as they had it. I wondered if someone would try to pin that one on me lol!
BTW, did you watch it? It had the person who went to India feeling very enlightened for the Indians and happy for the new opportunies they have, and more grateful for his own "wealth", including the loss of his job. hmmm...but of course, he stated how they were brain washed in order to do the call center jobs...
Was wondering about this....sm
I want to use my laptop full time but not sure if I should leave plugged in all the time or what. I read somewhere it wasn't good to leave laptop plugged in all the time with the battery in place. Sounds like you use the laptop on battery power, then plug in and use plugged in until battery charged? Seems like a lot of plugging/unplugging if battery only lasts two hours. I don't want to shorten the battery life, would like to keep it optimized for when I want to use the laptop on battery power only while away from home.
I am wondering . . .
I would just like to know an approximate amount of dictation minutes each of you would consider as full-time work? Basically, how many minutes you would commit to transcribe daily, five days a week, and would expect to keep you busy for roughly 8-hour days/40-hour workweek.
In most of the ads I see, if they do specify an amount, it is usually a line requirement to be transcribed daily (although I have seen some that list the amount of dictation, and seems like it may be about 60-90 minutes per day for full-time).
Obviously, we all know that there are many variables as to how long it would take to transcribe a certain number of dictation minutes (or produce a certain number of lines), but I would just like to get an average, if possible, by seeing what each individual considers full-time work for them, in dictated minutes.
Thanks in advance for your responses!  Oh, and feel free to add any information you feel is relevant (i.e. been doing these docs for 20 years so . . ., do a lot of ESLs so . . . , etc.).
Thank-you! 
Wondering why....
Why do you feel that this is any of your problem? All you are doing is letting your husband know that you will overreact to things and he will just keep his mouth shut from now on....if he is smart. My husband has friends that I know run around and, as far as I am concerned, it is just not my buisness. I trust my husband,so what do I care what someone else's husband does. 
Thanks, now I am wondering...
why US companies won't hire Canadian employees? Maybe they want to keep US jobs in the US? But if you go to almost any border city, you'll find Canadians working in the States. And also find many US going to Canada for health care.
Guess this opens up a whole can of worms.
Anyways, thanks for the info. Now I know why you are looking for a Canadian company! Makes sense.
Good luck to you in finding a company that fits for you!
Just wondering
Do you clip your dog's nails often enough? I'm really not trying to be a "smarty", but the only time I've seen this sort of problem is when the animal's nails were not trimmed regularly, which I am guilty of because my dog hates it and makes it very difficult. If that is the case, then just about any kind of carpet would catch their nails, and it's more that their nails are putting them at risk, not the type of carpeting.

Just wondering what
other MTs do when a prospective employer requests that you provide your salary requirements? If you're like me, you do not want to go too high and not get the job, but also do not want to quote too low when you could have gotten a higher rate if you had just asked. So, what do you do? In the past, I have always avoided applying if a company asked for salary requirements, but in this case the question was not asked until after I sent my resume, and I am interested in following this through to the testing/job offer. I am wondering if I answer in a vague, flexible way whether that would be a good thing or bad thing.
Any input from you guys would really be appreciated.
TIA!
I have been wondering about this myself (sm)
Thank you, Kris, for your response. This sounds almost too good to be true (I'm a skeptic by nature, and this just seems too easy and reasonably priced). Thanks again for your response. I'm curious to see more responses to this question - I really value the opinions on this board! MKM
