someone posted a few weeks ago
but i cannot find the post, a pasted piece on how to know when to keep your job vs. look for another job. Seems like it was from Harvard or some higher institution of learning....can anyone help me find it? I think my daughter needs to see it. thanks.
YES! I figured it out! A few weeks ago I posted a question SM
about Dictaphone EXSpeech, my wave volume on my pc's master volume controls kept turning down automatically after each VR job and I couldn't figure out why. Well, after much research, having both the tech people at the hospital where I work and the Dictaphone/Nuance tech support people telling they had never heard of that problem, I figured it out.
And since someone on here had told me it was a quirk with Dictaphone, I wanted to share because I thought it my help her out too. When you are in a document in Word Client Correction Editor, you hit F2 and that is your volume control, make sure you turn it all the way up, click okay and bingo it's fixed. Apparently, that particular volume setting in Word Client is connected to the master wave volume control on your PC. If it it is at the lowest setting, then your master volume control will reset after each job. If it is turned all the way up, that is your master volume control will stay.
Excuse my excitement, but it was driving me nuts having to manually turn up my volume with each job. As many MTs know, one little annoyance can wreck a whole day!
If this was posted at the beginning of th year, it has taken 3 weeks for anyone to notice. nm

The person who posted about ignoring
the rude broads should be told the same thing! She didn't like what was said by the 2 posters and typed ignore those 2 rude broads. They posted opinions, as well. Quit being such a hypocrite! It is so annoying that people see things only one way. Practice what you preach!
I bet you are the same person who posted as 'Humbuggle'
lately, now you just changed your username, thinking that we do not recognize you!
To the person who posted about Express Scribe...
I'm not the original poster, but I'm doing a lot of testing and it's wearing me out to do the Real Player manually. Per your advice, I downloaded the Express Scribe, but can't figure out how to dump my voice files from the various on-line tests. Can you explain simply how to do it (I'm a moron about this stuff but willing to learn!). Thanks for the tip; even if I just have to use their hot key controls, it will be much better than the stop/start on the Real Player.
The person she is posting about has posted extensively
about her situation on another board and what is represented here is not exactly the situation as posted by the person herself.
Yes, we agree. I 1st posted to person who didnt

Aren't you the same person who posted above that you work for Transolutions and USED
to work for the company that does 7 days a week?
Are you the same person who posted that you typed for a group of docs
I seriously wonder what exactly you are trying to do. And for those of you who want to post a flame in response to me saying this...go right ahead. I am not trying to be rude at all. There is something not right with this person.
A few more questions and you'll have that bogus resume complete, huh.
I'm looking for the person who posted several months ago a laptop for sale that had been
bought for their daughter to get into the business. I searched the archives as best I could remember the ad but could not find anything. If this would be you, and the laptop is still available, could you please contact me? Thanks!
I'm guess this person means
the physician wants to make changes to reports already typed by the poster. That happens quite a bit.
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
have not purchased
No have not purchased another house but am moving out of state, going to rent for 6 months to see if we like the area before buying again but wanted to move over the Christmas holidays to make it easier on the kids changing schools. I am not sure I want to buy again because am a single mom in my 50s and it is getting to hard to keep up with things that need done
I purchased one of these (sm)
laptop stands and it has been great - http://tinyurl.com/2uwhkz. It allows me to elevate my screen, which is necessary when working with a separate keyboard in order to keep the screen at eye level and arms/wrists at proper angles. If your chair does not have a height adjustment, you may want to consider one that does. Stretching, of course, is important, too. I'm thinking about getting an inversion table to help with my neck...we'll see  . I also have an elliptical which I use usually halfway through my day for around 30 minutes to exercise my legs. If you want to do some quick exercises in the house, you may find it nice to workout with pilates DVDs. It breaks the day up nicely.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
You must have purchased them a few sizes
'cause you are really wiggin' out.
I actually purchased this last year (sm)
It's really a neat little program that acts like an alphabetized notebook where you can add entries for quick reference ... say you can't ever remember how to spell certain words, you can add those words and bring up TLRN and look up words you've added. You can create multiple notebooks with different facts/data/addresses or whatever. I found that I never used the program as I had other methods that reminded me of words, i.e., my expander, for one, and I already have tons of programs loaded and running in the background while working that the last thing I needed was another program running behind about six or seven already loaded.
I purchased an HP computer and
(per companies requirements). The new computer does not have a serial port and therefore I am using a 9 pin to USB converter which works well with my old system but will not work with the new system. Has anybody comes across this when purchasing a new system recently? HP is unable to help me and so I am turning to fellow MT's. 
I also purchased an adapter...sm
Staples also carries these adapters. I had to convert to a USB port as my newer pc did not have the port I needed either.
If you only purchased the upgrade, NO. sm
If you purchased Office 2007, YES you can install it separately.
Heartland is finally purchased...
Spheris purchases Heartland Information Services.. more to come later in the week
I purchased it through Transcription Gear
express scribe thing yet. Have too much work today to fiddle much with it. I appreciate everybody's advice and help on this.
i purchased it directly at stedmans.com (nm)

I recently purchased the Stedman's (sm)
Medical & Surgical Equipment Words. Can you tell me the difference between this and The Surgical Word Book? Thanks.
Had same problem - purchased a 'hub'
store - cost about $80. It has a serial port and additional USB ports. Have used this for 3 years now. Can also use it for all the peripherals you don't have enough ports for on your computer.
Has anyone ever purchased Jon Knowles' list. ...
of abbreviations for medical transcription that can be downloaded into ShortHand or IT, and if so, is it worth the $45? I have been considering it and think it would be worthwhile but would like opinions. TIA.
I recently purchased a 23-inch...
Phillips LCD flat screen TV to use as a computer monitor. The TV price was relatively the same as a computer monitor of the same size. Definitely go as big as you can afford...you won't be sorry!
MedQuist was recently purchased
I just purchased the ABCZ glossaries for IT sm
A few weeks ago, and I am glad I did. It was definitely worth it. I like that I didn't have to start over from scratch to start following a system. I used his files and then used the workshop to convert my enteries over to the ABCZ system. It has been a big help to me. With 2 small kids I didn't have the time to try to figure out my own system and start creating the entries, so ABCZ was perfect for me.
Still using my "old" IBM keyboard purchased, I think, around 1990.
I totally panicked when it started going haywire & finally found a company that will repair them, have their own "clone" IBM's which aren't "too" bad, and also have the cord you were searching for.
I bought "their" clone while they repaired my original IBM, and it was pretty close to the touch of the original - but still just not the same. Then a few years ago, my son became aware of my dilema about searching for IBM keyboards -and, Geez - his company had one made by Lexmark back in their supply room - but without a cord -
If you're interested - try looking at http://pckeyboard.com/repair.html -- Repair services are through Unicomp out of KY - 1-800-777-4886, Jim Owens, Ext. 202.
I've been very happy with their service and I, personally, am surprised at what they charge. I purchased their "clone" & the cord for the IBM by Lexmark for $42.69, and their charge for repairing my original IBM was $35.44.
To, me - it's worth it!! Plus - their repair to my original didn't affect the "touch". They replaced key tops, corrected keys that were messed up, i.e., "s" key & others not working, replaced split "attached" cord - but didn't mess with my "feel".
Hate to admit how many "ergonomic" keyboards I've tried. Guess I'm just "too" old, set in my ways, & need my clicky-clack keyboard to keep my rhythm & fingers going.
Does anyone know how to reset a DVI? I purchased one at a yard sale and *sm*
it did not come with a manual. I am trying to use it for the first time and the dial tone comes up but it is asking for a log in ID. I would also like to purchase a manual if anyone has one. I do believe I can go to the DVI website and ask about purchasing one but that will not help me throughout the weekend in trying to figure out what do do now! Assistance is greatly appreciated!
I purchased BOSE head phones
and it was the best investment I ever made. I got tired of replacing headsets. You can get BOSE earplug ones or the over the head. I have both and prefer the over the head. It is amazing what I can hear now. Just wonder what I might have missed in the past before BOSE.
I purchased Office 2003 at Amazon.com.

I purchased that book and it was useless. I think half the stuff in it was old. *sm*
My son told me that he thinks every useful thing has already been invented unless it is technology related. Sometimes I think he is right and other times I refuse to believe that every idea has already been invented. I am envious of the women on Oprah who are making a million dollars from a brownie recipe or an umbrella company. Sometimes I wish I could write a novel or a children's book that would be a best seller. I know people that sell one item on ebay such as golf clubs and are making their living doing that. I have never been able to find a popular enough item at wholesale cost to make a living at it. I do have an idea that I think would go over well in a shopping mall (the idea has been used before but it has never been in a shopping mall) but I do not know where to go with getting it past an idea. My biggest drawback is that I have no imagination and no real talent other than I am a hard worker and have moral values.
Thanks. I purchased a three way plug last night and it appears to be working and yes for the-sm
poster above it does have a filter on it but the way it plugs in I needed the extra plug so I could still be connected to the computer for my fax to work. Thanks again for the help.
I've purchased them at both Radio Shack and on Ebay. sm
If I remember correctly, they're called earbud cushions.
A variety of them can be purchased online here:

Power supplies are Dell proprietary and must be purchased from
power supply is the same way. I have 3 Dell laptops and a Dell PC and there are indeed a number of items that are proprietary. However, I love all of my Dell products and wouldn't trade them for anything.
don't need to depreciate computers anymore. take the deduction in the year purchased

I've purchased one laptop and one desktop system used/refurbished, sm
...both from that place I mentioned, and you wouldn't know them from used. I used the laptop happily for many years (still have it, though it's quite out of date now), and the PC is going on it's 2nd year with no problems. You do have to be careful when buying used, but if you're dealing with a reputable site that has a good rep, it's usually not a problem at all and the savings can be tremendous.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.

Last year I purchased a Lasko 30" tall digital ceramic pedestal heater with remote for under (sm)
$80.00 at Home Depot. Features include: Automatic temperature control, oscillate, timer, and high (1500W) and low (900W) power settings. Assembling the base took less than 5 minutes. Kept me very warm last winter, and plan on purchasing another one for my upstairs. Cut down on my gas heating bill significantly. Great buy.
One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
Can't be V-day, most of us have been out for 2 weeks.

I got a second job 3 weeks ago to
help with our debt. Hubby cannot work. No children left at home. It is tiring, but I am hoping to get ahead.
