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.

I hope it all works out well for you . . .
but I doubt very seriously that you will be able to get the best rate in a year. Unfortunately what someone tells/promises you can be very different from what can/will actually happen.
Hope it all works out for you
My son was diagnosed with GERD at the age of 9 months. He went through a multitude of tests before they diagnosd him. The reason for so many tests was because the only symptom he had was vomitting about every 2 or 3 minutes ALL DAY LONG. There was no slow onset of this. Three days after I stopped breast feeding, I noticed he would constantly vomit. Like I said, he would vomit literally every few minutes, and this went on for over 4 months!!! After trying Zantac and it not being effective, he was scheduled to have a fundoplication with a feeding tube at about age 1. However, our last hope prior to surgery was to try Reglan for 2 weeks. My husband and I were hesitant because of possible severe side-effects, but at that point we had no choice but to try it, as surgery was already set up. Amazingly, 10 days after starting Reglan, his symptoms 100% resolved and have yet to return. The doctors were absolutely amazed. His pediatrician and specialist have never seen a infant with such severe reflux that had such a quick onset and then have it so severely, only to be cured 100% by Reglan in 10 days.
He was even so underweight from 9 months to a year of age that his weight would not even register on the chart. Needless to say, he is now 3.5 years old, is not on any medication and is at about the 98th percentile for height and weight. The best thing you can do is hope your little one outgrows it and keep trying different meds.
Best of luck to you and your little girl!
Certainly hope it works out for you...
Good attitude to have! You can't let everything on here make up your mind for you. Take it all in..do what you wish with it. Alot of people unhappy with my company..I happen to like it. Just like I hated MQ..there are alot that love it.
To each his own and best of luck! 
And hang around on here...no matter what the topic is...when stuff like this happens it's comic relief and a good stress buster lol
I really hope everything works
out for you.
I hope it works. :)
I know I removed all the hot keys in InScribe that they had listed as there were conflicts with me using some of them with the hot keys for the platform I work on and I fortunately recalled that (which with my memory is surprising-lol), so thought I would suggest it. I am not the most computer literate person but I stumble my way through. :)
Please do let us know if you found resolution to your problem, ok? Good thoughts being sent your way. I know how aggravating things like this can be. BTDT. :)
Hope the new one works for you !!.nm

Well, I hope it works for both of you! sm
I had a bad day too, so I understand how frustrating things are when they don't work right. I also discovered a while back that I can't save macros that are created while I am in my employer's platform. I have to close the platform, create them in Word only, and then reopen the platform. Then they are there and stay there, so maybe that is part of the problem, as well. Macros, autocorrect, and autotext are all saved to normal.dot file. Good luck to both of you. Have a good evening.
best wishs,,, hope it works out better.
I hope it works for her! You're welcome!

Good, I hope it works... nm
Good luck. I hope it works for you!
I always used to wonder why so many people on ebay started listing from smoke-free home. Then I bought an antique book,and boy did I understand! Now you will definitely be asking the smoke free home question right away for anything on Ebay, right? Yuck. Again, I used to smoke for decades and had no idea how awful it smells.Smokers don't really smell it themselves! Have fun, too!!
You're welcome, hope it works for you! I've used
Instant Text, but only briefly. It seems to be "bug-y" on my system. I usually have at least two or three documents open in Word at a time and when I switch back and forth using F6, IT screws up my being able to switch between documents easily, also when using IE I don't like the adjustments I have to make with my mouse to get the screen back to how I need it to be when Instant Text. I started with PRD+ for DOS a long, long time ago, used it for years until I switch to Shortcut for DOS, then made the switch to Windows and started with ShortCut for Windows. I used that program for about nine months before finding Shorthand. I really liked Shortcut but it has it's limitations with coding. I love ShortHand the most of the three programs mentioned. It's easy to use, I can duplicate easily, a really nice feature that I wish IT had. I also tried SmartType. It wasn't user friendly, or at least I couldn't figure it out! I think it may have been bug-y with my system or something. Anyway, long story short, I love Shorthand, it's easy to use but one can do rather complex things using it. Oh, and that little box that follows around on the screen showing what my short will be when I expand it is a great feature!
Not a new concept, Hope. Works this way in all industries.
If you can't give yourself a break, at least give us one.
I personally enjoy VR work and make better money, even with a reduced rate. It's faster. Easier.
Outsourcing..Check this out hope it works

Sylvan here too......

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 spellcheck
Had a free 30-day(?) trial. Also bought Instant Text after resisting for many years. Now I love it. Worth every penny.
Stedman's and Sylvan are two good ones
xx
I use Sylvan Gold for my invoices, it sm
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.
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.
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.
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM
.
Emdat works with Instant Text Por V - ony version that works with Emdat - nm
nm
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.
nm
I hope so
I really want to do IC where I am a stay at home mom with a very active 2 yr old and hate to commit to hours until he is older. One other girl did not do IC because of this
Wow, a ray of hope
that's very encouraging to hear! Even though you didn't take the job, at least they seemed to be concerned as to why! Good job!!!
I hope this is okay
A friend of mine is in second place right now in the Staples invention contest. Please vote for Julie Savage and her Glue Swabs. Right now she is neck and neck with a musician, who has the online musician community bucking for him to win.
Hopefully MTs have more pull than musicians.
Oh, and you can vote once a day from each email addy you have.
I do hope it gets better for you.
I am struggling tremendously myself and working many, many hours to get my quota. But like yourself, I have got to have the insurance. It is so frustrating, but I will do what I have to do - and that has been a lot of praying here lately!
I hope so,
Oh boy, I hope I have this right...sm
He was told to follow up.
He presents for followup.
I hope you
are not still doing any work for her. If you and she live in the same area, I would pay a friendly visit. It's very easy for people to ignore emails. If you speak with her face to face, even if she is unable to pay you during your first visit. She will find a way to get your money if she knows that you will come by again. I would continue to drop by occasionally and just say, I was doing a pick up in your area and thought I'd stop by to check the status of a few outstanding invoices. It couldn't hurt.
Yes, that's my only hope
Maybe enough people will quit that there will be work. I'm going to wait for the packet and read things over, then decide what I'm going to do. 
Still hope
I've never worked for a National - they turned me down years ago which was a blessing. Sent out letters to 75 local docs and now work for 3 at .15/line. Have you tried doctors in your community? Have to buy my own medical but still well worth it!
That gives me hope...
MQ is "rewarding" me for my dedication and expertise by routing the longest reports and foulest dictators to me simply because "You're the only one who can do them - you should feel complimented." I'm paid by the report so no matter how much I am paid - I'm screwed. Your post gives me hope that there are companies out there that don't operate like this. Thanks!
I hope you mean I just DID it. nm
Some hope
I don't exactly agree. I think the best MTs, those that save MDs the most time, have the best chance of continuing to work in this field. I found a job in RADIOLOGY, for goodness sakes, and because the MDs are confident that reports I produce make sense (and these particular MDs actually care) so that they can concentrate on their other work, I believe they will keep me around. I think the MTs with large vocabularies (especially for the dying language of ENGLISH), will be able to find work for years to come. Make sure you continue to educate yourselves and don't daydream while transcribing just because you've done this for 20 years and know all the terms. When you are not valued in one job, look for a place where they DO care about quality. It helps to be where the MDs can talk to YOU instead of a medically uneducated supervisor. Just my experience.
I hope you don't....
shop at Wal-mart or other organizations/companies such as that! You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth!
I hope someone else says it....
wow
hope this will help....sm

Well, 3 is what we have...hope that is
it! She seems to be doing ok with them so far...she is so young we were worried about her, but so far so good! We live in the country, cats get dumped here all the time..so unfortunate because not all cats can survive as some people think. We live on a very heavily traveled road, there are coyotes, and other hazards for them to avoid! We will keep her and her babies, actually have someone who wants one of the kittens. Mom will get spayed ASAP, babies when ready. We also have 7 other cats, all male, who were stranded out here also, they are getting neutered next week. We have a barn cat/feral cat program in our county so it is a reasonable price for spaying and neutering, plus I am hoping to get a quantity discount!
I hope so.
My other two pregnancies were totally different. I had energy throughout the entire nine months. However, this is the first pregnancy that I am actually working from home so I believe that is the difference.
I have one of those, and she is an ESL. I am sorry, hope your day goes better!
x
I hope you are okay...
Let us know what happens.
I sure hope so.
thanks for the support! I'm just not too keen on OPs even though it can be part of the job. I just find the majority of them boring! Hopefully I'll slide past them.
Now I hope I don't cause
a commotion with this post, but I have to ask. I have 9 years of MT experience, what should I be making per line? Sometimes I feel like I'm being shorted. Any input is appreciated.
I hope, but ...
I'm glad if your hubby's cellulitis is getting better, but "pocket of infection" sounds like abscess to me??
I hope so cuz...sm
I don't know why it would matter which cable my internet comes through as long as I have DSL, which I do.
Thanks!
Yup. Thanks. Hope you get some
help also.
Must be nice to have a job where you can decide somebody is a nut case so you won't have to figure out a diagnosis, right?
Some expert already e-mailed me with a site that has treatments people have tried for this in case that's what mine turns out to be. Apparently there is a long incubation period between the appearance of the sores and the worms popping out of the skin. Lovely, right?
I cannot imagine being the first people to get this disease and having nobody who had ever heard of it. I would have assumed I was nuts and would have had myself committed.
I hope you can help me out on this
My husband ordered a Dell and there were 3 packages that came, the first was a very small 1 that had some wires in it plus ?? The next 2 were bigger boxes. The smaller package was opened and I have misplaced. I called Dell last night and they did not know what was in the first. He bought off 1 of the shopping channels. Do you know by any chance if you got a little box first and was it absolutely essential for running the Dell? I am in BIG trouble I think if I don’t find. Thanks!
