MediTech Magic
Any info on Meditech Magic? Pluses, minuses. Any information you can give would be appreciated.
meditech magic
I am starting to work on Meditech magic and no here really knows how it works. Can anybody here give the functionality (F) keys for this program........I am at a lost of words. TIA.
Meditech Magic
Meditech Magic - is it easy to learn? Any hints? TIA.
Need advice on Meditech Magic
I've been offered a position doing ops on this platform. This is a account with exactly the kind of hospital I like - a midsize community hospital with op notes that aren't too technical. I will be coming from a job where I use WP51. They tell me that this hospital keeps its upgrades current. It is a transcription company with a very good reputation. I've talked to one MT who does well on the Meditech Magic system for radiology. Does anyone else here like it for ops?
Meditech Magic Platform
I am about to start working on a radiology account that uses the Meditech Magic platform. Can any of you tell me the good, the bad and the ugly about this platform?
TIA!
? for anyone who works on Meditech Magic.
I'm starting a new account on Meditech. I've never worked on it. I haven't been through training, but after looking at the manual I have to say - UGH.
I've heard MTs who love it and many who say it is terrible. Can you give me some feedback, likes, dislikes, etc.
Are you able to make your lines in an 8-hour day? Does it have its own spellchecker or can you use Stedman's?
Meditech Client (sm)
How many of you are using Meditech Client and like it? Is it something you get used to?
Any Info on Meditech Client
Here's another dumb question, folks. My new job has Meditech client. I have used Meditech, but the kind you dial in with a phone line modem (not using internet).
Is Meditech Client different or is it the same, is it user friendly? Does it use the internet? I hope so b/c I just got DSL available in my area and hope it isn't slow b/c I'm starting a new job soon. Thanks in advance for pointers! 
I use IT and love it. It works with Meditech, which is my client's application.
No other text Expander could/can link with Meditech.
Magic
I use Stainless Steel Magic which you can buy at Bed Bath and Beyond and Home Depo. You have to be so careful not to use any product that will cause streaking. You must never use like a wet rag or anything, or windex, so this spray product and also the wipes that they make are really the safest. Do a fairly small area at a time and wipe it off with a soft cloth, then buff. It will look like a picture in a magazine. It's the last thing I do before company comes, and it looks great, but not for long! I also use their countertop magic and cabinet magic. The cans are like $5.00 each and last forever.
No magic in VR
I lost an account to a radiology group and they have been trickling back. Any VR program that is only 4K can't be very good. These guys to which I refer must have spent 100K on their program.
No magic with MM (sm)
It is HORRIBLE. I am so stressed out from trying to get a decent line count. I know how you feel. I have never worked on a platform worse than this.
Magic Swizzle / magic swizzle. TIA
on my magic stove.
:+
I have a Magic stove too...
that is the actual name on the stove. LOL! Some people take thing way to seriously on this board.
You said the magic word...
but they don't... and that is a shame. To them, we (the MTs) are a dimeadozen...they can take us or leave us, there's always somebody waiting in the wings to snap up our job...They may not be as good as WE are (of course!) but nonetheless, they are there...sad but true I'm afraid.
ok. But VR it is not a magic pill
I've been researching the threats to us by VR. I have found that even with Escription, you need the doctor's cooperation. Their claim that the doctor doesn't need to change his dictating habits is not supportable in the real world. Also, is anyone aware that the software company that provides VR is raking 2 or 3 cents a line off the top just for the privilege of you being able to buy their prohibitively expensive software?
Magic Jack
I have seen several posts on the board about using Magic Jack with a C-phone etc, however, would like to find out more about it regarding voice quality etc. I have both a wireless setup as well as an air card from Sprint and talked to the Sprint rep last night about using Magic Jack with my air card and he said that because my connection speeds are extreemely good, he did not foresee any problems. I also talked to a "tekky" friend of mine in Las Vegas and he said that he has a client who loves it, but in reading the reviews, I have seen both good and bad about it. I wouldn't at this time need it for work, but just more as a "home phone line". Any information would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks
Does anyone who uses the Magic Jack (sm)
Suddenly today, Saturday, have the foot pedal not work? This is the first time I have ever had this problem and I am wondering if it is systemic today - and hopefully everything will be OK. Any advise please. This was only phone option I had for LDS and its pretty scary not to be able to work with it today. Thanks for any advise or comments.
Magic Jack - sm
I had to send mine back the first day I tried it. I could not get the foot pedal for my Lanier to work with it. I was very disappointed, as it would have saved a lot of money. Hope it was just your system.
MAGIC JACK
not wanting to work?? I've had Majic for for a while now and never had a problem with my footpedal til now. I'm on my second C-phone and still footpedal problems?
Magic Jack
I was thinking about this once as well but I went online and read reviews and after that, I was not convinced it was a very good idea because of some of the glitches they need to fix. I can't remember all the details but it would behoove you to read the reviews first. Good luck!
Magic Jack
I have read previous comments about Magic Jack and was wondering if there were any more recent experiences about using Magic Jack with a C-phone. Vonage wants to up my plan to business because of the amount of time I am using it and then with all the fees tacked on, I'm looking at at least $55 a month for a business plan up from $35. I would rather use Magic Jack if I can see other transcriptionists are happy with it. Please post if you don't mind. Thank you!

I have Magic Jack and it works flawlessly as a phone. Would it work with transcription? I only have a cell phone and the Magic Jack line.
Magic Jack
No Magic Jack does not work with the C-phone's foot pedal. You can make calls with the C-phone but when you use the pedal it does not work.
Do you have a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser???
I don't know if it will work, because thank God neither one of mine have ever done that before, but it does clean a lot of stuff, from walls, to white sneaker, the bathtub.
Magic mouthwash? Is that a brand name?

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - use dry nm

Ok, here goes
CPL: 1-(.095/.1122) = about .154, or an approximate decrease of 15.4% of the original .1122 cpl.
Hourly: 1-(13.5/18.54) = about .272, or an approximate decrease of 27% of the original $18.54.
Anyone using Magic Jack with their C-phone?

It's a Magic Jack problem
I've used Magic Jack for about a month now and the problem with the foot pedal just started Sunday. But it's not a C-phone problem.
If they ever get that fixed, it really is a great deal for unlimited long distance (ULD). I did discover, however, that the quality and steadiness of the phone connection is MUCH better if you're connected to the internet with a cable rather than wireless. I had some frustrating problems with voice skipping, etc, when I had it on wireless.
If anyone is interested, voip.com has long distance at $19.95 a month for 10,000 minutes (an average working month is about 10,080). They also have the option of $199.00 a year which saves you about $3.50 a month. I connected it up yesterday. It's a 4 x 2 inch black box that connects via an ethernet cable to an extra port in your modem, and then you plug the C-phone and a power cord into the black box also. It doesn't connect directly to your desktop or laptop at all. I was very pleased with the quality - a strong, steady connection, absolutely no background noise, no skipping or stuttering on the C-phone.
And, no, I'm not a salesperson for Voip.com nor do I make any money from recommending them! ULD for transcriptionists has been a problem for a long time, and I've tried Vonage, Magic Jack, and voip.com, so voip.com solves the problem of price and quality for me (cross your fingers and knock on wood).
MAGIC JACK UPDATE....sm
Below posters you are all right. This weekend, the MJ stopped working with the foot pedal across the board. We had 5 MT in our company and same thing happened to everyone. It has not worked since. You can't get an answer from the live tech either. So, anyone thinking of trying this with a C-phone - don't. I have been using mine perfectly - and loved it!!! - for many months now. I'm very disappointed but I wanted to pass this along for others. I guess it was too good to be true for awhile.....
Someone mentioned VOIP below but with limited minutes. Anyone set up with them for unlimited business plan - is is truly unlimited - and did you like it? Appreciate your input.
Magic Jack - is it reliable? SM
I have seen discussions about this on these boards and I was wondering just how reliable is it. I currently have Vonage which is costing me 30 bucks a month. I've heard a lot about Magic Jack and unlimited long distance and it would save me a bundle in the long run; however, I don't want to ditch Vonage because it works great.
Mind you, I don't use my Vonage line for transcribing. It is strictly my business/personal telephone voice calls only. I found there is a lag when using my C-phone with Vonage that drives me nuts. I have DSL through the local phone company and so have an analog phone line through them. That is the phone line I use for my fax machine, transcribing, etc.
I'm looking for a way to trim some of the fat off my home office budget. I need/want two phone lines period. I won't have it any other way. I didn't sign a new cell phone contract in lieu of a prepaid cell phone. At this point, I have a new job with a hospital and I won't need to be using a C-phone. Everything is digital and through the PC.
So here's the short answer - is Magic Jack reliable and functional?
Does anyone use an Ergo Magic keyboard?

Looks interesting....
My hands/wrists can't take it anymore...I have to do something. I wake up with tingling and numbness in my fingers every morning. I know I'm headed towards carpal tunnel if I don't have it already.
If someone has used this or anything similar and could give me some advice, it would be much appreciated!  Thanks so much!
In EXSpeech, I use magic punctation, does anyone know....
if I hit alt . it will place the period and capitalize the next letter. But if I use alt , it will take out the period but keep the next letter of the next word capitalized. Why doesn't it lower case it? Drives me bananers! Help if you can.
Magic Jack update
Had anyone found out any more about whether Magic Jack will work with a c-phone? Or any other way to use the c-phone from either a cell phone service or internet service instead of a land line? Will the Dock-N-Talk work with a c-phone? Thanks in advance for any input!
Not yet, but turn 40 in 6 weeks, seems to be the magic age for bifocals - nm

advice needed, will you guys be my magic eight
Pay cut at the beginning of this year, cannot make the incentives I used to because my hands cannot type a lot in a short period of time. I need a 10 hour window, at least 50 hours a week. So i've been considering leaving the MT field. Trouble is, i'm about 20K in debt. There is something i've decided I want to do, a tech school, since I do not see myself going to school the next 10 years to get a degree. Problem is, the cost is 6K. The thought of delving deeper in debt makes my teeth chatter, BUT, I will be making more than I do as an MT, and my hands are in bad shape, not up to par anymore. Should I go with this, be out of the program in six months OR get a second job now to make up the loss I took with the pay cut and continue getting myself at 0 debt. Will you sweet, intelligent ladies advise me? Thanks...
Well you should know a magic stove removes ALL the bad stuff.

Needing info on Magic Jack
show commercial break. It says 19.95 to buy, plug it into the computer, and plug a phone into it. Then just 19.95 a year and unlimited calling, voicemail, etc. This looks almost too good to be true. I checked on some different consumer reports and it got a good rating. I am thinking of trying it, but would like to hear from somebody that has tried it already.
Magic Jack with Lanier Voicewriter? sm
I've read posts stating C-phones possibly work with Magic Jack. However, has anyone successfully used Magic Jack with a Lanier Voicewriter, or has anyone tried that? TIA
Could not get Magic Jack to work with C-phone
I tried it on two different accounts,and there was too much skipping or dead air to use it. I ended up sending back the Magic Jack before free trial was over. Our internet tends to run a little slow sometimes so it may depend on how reliably fast your connection is. But as I said, I tried on two accounts and it would not work well enough on either, so it was definitely my internet connection that was the problem.
That's the magic phrase. It shows that they're
If they keep looking, eventually they're going to find someone else. Hmmm -- maybe her uppity attitude is something they're growing weary of.
Magic Jack is not unlimited forever
The fine print on my Magic Jack indicates that if I use it for more than 20 percent more than the average person (whatever that means), they may discontinue my service. I am not familiar with the MT jobs that require unlimited phone service or the C-phone, but I imagine that those minutes would add up rather fast.
As far as using the Magic Jack for long-distance calls to family and friends, it seems to work great. It just doesn't seem like a good choice for MT work, IMHO.
Those magic spells on the religion board are a hoot.

No need. Bad stuff cooks away on my magic stove. Can't you read???

It appears the magic number is 500. Lots of folks job hunting, for sure.

Sometimes find decals for this in office supplies. OW, just use Magic Marker. nm

You need to give up your psychic friends business and toss your magic 8 ball.

FTP Client
I still don't know what an FTP client is that was asked in the original question?
the client always wants a little something...sm
The client always wants a little something for nothing.....so I give them a free line if there is only one word on the line...I give them a 68-72 character line (spaces I do count). I have never upped them in 9 years, but on my 10th anniversary I am upping them to 13 CPL. I also give them their 5 line headings for nothing as it's only 2 Keystrokes for me. They are good to me so I bake for the offices a couple of times a year and give the offices a gift during the winter holidays.
