I wasn't able to transfer my file, but someone referred me to..sm

this Productivity Talk board and I e-mailed the "moderator" of the board (and who seems to be the only person in the world who knows how to do this) two weeks ago and I've gotten no response, so that may just be a waste of time, but you could try it.  I have had to manually re-enter my auto corrects yet again.  I went from SmarType on YOG to DQS to new job in Word all in two months.  I so hope I don't have to do this again for a very long time.

Good luck.

    • You need an expander like Instant Text or Shorthand so you don't have to keep converting every ti - you switch jobs or platforms. nm

It is a method of sending files between two computers that requires a software program to accomplish the task. Think of it like Windows Explorer to move files between computers.

You need to have a server that acts as a holder where files can be uploaded to and downloaded from by parties who have access to that specific site, identified by their ISP numbers and not a name (like mtstars.com).

I currently do a small amount of transcription for a doctor's office and have been using Novuscript to transfer files and dictation.  Does anyone have any suggestions that might be less expensive that are HIPAA compliant for file transfer and dictation transfer.

It is transferring files.  You log onto the FTP site using software, such as Core FTP Lite that is free, then you can upload and download files on the company's FTP server.

Here's the link to the free download of Core FTP Lite.

my friend transferred it to a tape (she had the dictation) and I listened to it.  Gross.

I wanted to move this discussion back to the top so I started a new thread.  She asked if I share any websites or information with the MTs I QA and my answer is, I do.  

For instance, when looking up a doctor's name, did any of the MTs here know that most states have a state department for professional licensing where you can look up MDs, DOs, physical therapists, nurses (both LPNs and RNs), etc?  So in addition to using the AMA, website which is great because you can do a sound alike search, you can also go to each state's licensing website.  I should add that no one ever told me this when I was an MT.  I just discovered it on my own because I cared enough about the work I put out to make sure I exhausted every resource possible.

Another nifty, self-taught, trick of the trade... I have the website for every facility for every account I work on in my favorites.  A lot of times a facility will have a doctor finder on their website.  In addition, they may say the name of a ward or department that you might be able to reference on the website.  Not to mention, it helps to know where the facility is located for future reference such as when a dictator mentions a place of employment in a patient's social history.  If you know where your facility is located, then you can look at the yellow pages online for that area.

I always share any great terminology or drug websites I come across.  There's a great website that will list most every hospital in any particular state and a link to that hospital's website.  All I had to do to find that website was do a Google search for "hospitals in Arizona or California or Texas" (whatever state you need) and I found theagapecenter.com website.

No one person ever sat me down as an MT and gave me a step by step on how to use my reference books or the internet.  I taught myself because I CARED.  That's the problem with a lot of the MTs I QA.  They don't care.  The say the MTSOs only care about the bottom line, well the MTs only care about the bottom line too and the end result is poor quality and subsequently loss of American jobs.

But so what?!?!  I'm just a dragon lady and most QA people are just big meanies anyway.  MTs can keep blaming everybody else for their low wages and offshoring, but it's time to step up and take some responsibility.

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you

your read my post that said we are all just people no matter what color we are?

Would you mind telling us where you were transferred to?? One o f the MT's in our office is ruuning into the same problem you had--she works 7 days a week and runs out of work  in all of her 4 accts but yet they (Foxboro) will call her on monday morning to tell her that they are out of TAT in her primary act. She did exactly what you did and used another ID number and lo and behold there was all the work, being held for someone else

AutoText from Word to a disk or flash drive. I can't figure out how to get it on there. TIA

Buffey,

On the company board you mentioned you work for the Columbus Ohio office, now your saying someone in your office (Foxboro) had some problems.  Do you work out of both Columbus AND Foxboro?  I'm confused

from Word and Wordperfect to Shorthand.  I sure hope, it would save SO much time.

Thanks all!

Sunny

I want to transfer my shortcuts (expansions) from DocQScribe to Microsoft office word.  Is it possible to do this?  Can anyone tell me where to go for instructions/guidelines on doing this?  Please help!

Hi,

What would be the easiest way to transfer AutoCorrect entries from one computer to another?

TIA
