You need to provide more info (sm)
Specifically, what type of pedal and headset are you using, including whether each one plugs into a USB port (flat rectangular plug) or a gameport/audio jack (mini-phono type plug). Also, which operating system are you using (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, etc.)?
It sounds like you have a resource conflict, meaning that both devices are trying to use the same "channel", to put it in lay terms. Such conflicts can be resolved in Control Panel --> Device Manager, but it takes a little technical savvy to do this and such situations have become much more rare with Plug and Play technology.
As a rule, two USB devices will "play nicely" together without any intervention on your part although sometimes you have to install a bit of software from a disk that comes with the device. So, if only one of your devices is USB might be to pick up a USB version of whichever one is not. Hopefully, this would be your headset, because you can pick up some very good USB headsets pretty cheaply.
Thank you fellow MT. I love that site.....good source of info without the complaing....
Thanks again.

I provide the template, I don't provide the headings though.
but I do pay them for everything that they transcribe. So, the MT has the initial template, they fill in the demographic fields, the body of text, cc information, etc. and that's what they are paid for. The body of text that the MT transcribes would include headings such as Subjective, Objective, etc., however the actual template that includes the logo, wording such as Patient Name, Date of Service, Attending Physician, etc. are not paid for. The template consists of about 8 lines total.
Well, can you give me a source? I'd like

How do we gain access to those jobs? Not many are posted on the job boards. Many MTs apply to jobs and never receive a response. So instead of being so mean, why don't you help your fellow MTs? We all should be nice all year long not just during the holiday season. The world would be a better place!
Reliable Source Jobsite
 WORDS OF WARNING: If you receive an email from The reliable Source Jobsite asking you to register for their site - DON'T DO IT. This is supposed to be a job database for all types of clerical work. However, I recently registered, realized I had registered at an incorrect job databased and asked for a refund. They stated I was not allowed a refund and that I was trying to get something for nothing. I then filed a complaint with PayPal. Later that same day, I received an email and also a telepone call stating that if I removed my complaint from PayPal, they would refund my money. I did remove my complaint. However, after my emailing them numerous times inquiring as to why I had not received my refund yet, they basically stated, "Ha, ha. We're not giving you a refund, never had any intention of doing so, and you cannot reopen the complaint with PayPal." I did contact PayPal and I could NOT reopen this complaint. After resigning myself to the fact that I'm a member of this database, I decided to use it. However, even though I have paid for this membership, I still cannot use it. The User ID and the Password they issued me are incorrect and will not work. I have made several attempts to email them regarding this matter, however I receive no reply. It is for the reasons above I thought everyone should be made aware of this - UNRELIABLE SOURCE JOBSITE
Reliable Source Jobsite
gnat is right. Tell us the URL and perhaps we can all band together (for once) and help a fellow MT. Hey, it's worth a shot.
Reliable Source Jobsite
For those of you that wanted there website it is:
www.freewebs.com/wahtelecommuteemploymentservices - I hope you guys get this okay. If you can't get it off of here, feel free to email me. My email is: tousuns@rochester.rr.com
I want to thank all of you. You would not believe how they acted on the telephone with me. Since tricking me into cancelling my complaint they lifted my user priviliges. I emailed them four different times and they do not even extend the courtesy of a return email. However, they still have my money and will NOT return it. Thanks for all of your help.
anyone know if this is a reliable source for this information? thanks...
taken from their site (I especially like about the outsourcing and 'robot transcriptionist' :
Allied Health Profession of the Month - March 2005
Medical Transcriptionist contributed by Paul D. Mason, Oxford, NJ |
What is Medical Transcription?
Medical transcriptionists (MTs) are the miracle workers of the medical records! They turn doctors’ daily dictation tapes - rough, hurried, harried, mumbled, muttered, highly technical, and always absolutely crucial - into clear, concise, polished gems of documentation. They work this amazing transformation every day under tight deadlines using just a simple tape or digital audio player, a computer, and a stack of medical books and online reference sources.
Jobs Outlook – “Boom”ing?
Remember all those “baby boomers”? According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), job opportunities for MT’s will be good - growing faster than the national average for occupations through 2012, with the demand fueled by the increased healthcare demands of a growing and aging population.
It’s not hard to see that lots more senior citizens needing lots more doctor visits means tons of new medical records to be generated! There’s going to be plenty of work out there to go around.
Then there’s the big “O”: Outsourcing…
There has been a steady stream of news lately about various US industries improving their bottom lines by replacing American workers with low-wage overseas labor – skilled jobs like computer programming, telephone help desks - almost any job that can be performed remotely.
In medical transcription, however, issues such as little or no foreign enforcement of US privacy laws, instability of foreign labor, lack of English fluency, expense and uncertainty of adequately training foreign labor, etc. can greatly complicate foreign outsourcing and offset the initially perceived cost savings.
Legal questions have even begun: The California legislature has discussed prohibiting all California industries from using foreign outsourcing involving confidential data, mainly because it is simply not possible to guarantee privacy outside of the country.
The BLS states that foreign outsourcing should not significantly impact the medical transcription profession in the US.
Robot Transcriptionists?
Another MT industry buzz involves new technologies such as speech recognition technologies (SRT’s), computerized “smart” data entry forms (EMR’s, CPR’s), etc. that promise to automate or eliminate traditional transcription work. Several software vendors have been very successfully selling tools of this nature to various industries and have been making noise to promote their use for medical transcription.
It is becoming apparent, however, that the complexity of medical diagnosis and terminology combined with the life-and-death importance of accuracy will prevent large-scale acceptance of these technologies in the medical field for the foreseeable future.
According to the Medical Records Institute (an organization that promotes the adoption of computerized medical records systems), most current research shows that penetration into the medical field by EMR’s is only 5-8%, with SRT’s at less than 1%. |
ruled out source recorder as well...
I have used EP for .dvf files for quite some time now and even when I open previously transcribed .dvf voice files, which played at normal speed when I transcribed them months ago using the same version of EP, they now play too fast, just like the more recently dictated .dvf files I've received. So, it does not appear to be a problem with the source recorder. Keep in mind that all other files (.dss and .wav) still play correctly. I am only experiencing the problem with .dvf files.
These are all good thoughts, but believe me, I've tried everything I can think of, and I think it's something much more involved. There is a corrupt file or codec or something possibly, but I don't now how to identify the problem at this point.
I have gone through the Express Scribe user forum and have seen several posting made over the past couple of years regarding the same type of situation, but have not found a remedy for it in those postings. No tech support available for free version, so I'm out of luck there too.
Thanks.
B150 is a great energy source...
The only place I can find them around here is Wal-Mart.
I can't wait to see this in writing from a credible source,
because I've shopped Walmart.com and never had the "if you like this" statement and can't verify this story anywhere on the net.
What's a good source for very new medical terminology? sm
I'm wanting to avoid paying for a $95 subscription to something like The Latest Word, if possible. Is there a web site that posts new medical drugs and other terms that are so new they haven't hit the books yet?
thanks!
Google is a great source of information
on Internet terminology and abbreviations. Try it. You'll be amazed at what you can learn for yourself.
Where did you hear that? And what funding source? Curious. nm

Would anyone have documentation of such?
How does MQ provide DQS to a
hospital and you not work for MQ?
If you can prove this is true (which I happen to believe you can), then please help us. Some of people are losing their health insurance and other benefits over loss of lines. To me, this is very serious.
How does MQ provide DQS
So, you have no MQ experience just experience with DQS program. By the way, most MTs who work outside of the hospital DO NOT GET PAID for headers, footers, looking up patient names, etc.; so perhaps, you should just stick to DQS problems at your hospital and not lump MQ into this. No, I am not a MQ advocate, but if you don't work for MQ, you can't really speak about what they pay for and what they don't pay for.
P.S. I am a single mom, struggling MT for the past 15 years, so I am no threat if you think I am MQ management, you need to rethink that.
They will provide it. sm
Just make sure that you ask them.
I'm horrible with math myself but was told several years back by a pretty reliable source
that w/o spaces is about a 17% reduction in pay - and I would say the figures you gave pretty much leads me to believe this may be true.
Please provide a link!
Every prosecutor who has been interviewed has generally told what these people are being held for but no one has come up with specific statements of the suspects. When questioned on specifics they have said they are not at liberty to divulge information as that could be detrimental to the case, just as it would be in the US.
We can only use the list they provide
Hard to find when you're not sure what the name is even starting with. Even with a data base of 1,000 physicians, it's constant searching. I use the search option and try to search for just one tiny part of the name I can understands, but it takes forever!
yes, they provide equipment. NM

Yes, they do provide computer sm
for full or part-time or you may use your own.
because when the dictator's provide the
proper demographics and enunciate clearly, I LOVE this work. I do not do it for the $ or for the bennies. I am 60 years old and don't need either. I just love transcription work. I doubt, though, that you can understand this.
How come you provide no specifics?
Too busy to spend a few minutes typing information that would benefit other people, when obviously you benefit from this bulletin board by reading it and even responding? This website is criticized by people for being overly negative and when people make such harsh comments without having anything to base it on, it makes the poster look suspicious. If you have any facts (or even impressions) to support your claim, please give them. If you don't, why make such strong statements?
Should provide equipment for doc?sm

Please provide documentation. Thanks
Usually, the company you IC for will provide you
with whatever software you need to work. You do need to have your own PC, pedal, high-speed internet, etc. The going rate for IC working for a specific company is usually 8 cpl to 10 cpl for transcription and 4 to 5 cpl for VR editing. And usually the companies make an offer and you either accept or don't.
If you are looking to get your own accounts, then you aren't an IC, you're self employed, you make the offer and decide the cpl you will charge and then what you charge depends on what part of the country you live in. Plus when you're self employed, you bill them usually monthly.
why would you sell, take the money, then not provide (sm)
sounds like a scam to me
What is FTP site and do employers provide this?

Thanks all for taking the time to provide
a kind word and encouragement. I know there are others much worse off and I know too I'll get through this. This time of year has always been tough for me since my parents died and I've really been working on putting on a happy face for my family despite how I feel, but just couldn't do it today.
Provide the service you are being paid to do...
As the sole Editor for 20+ MTs I can tell you your editor is being very thorough. Do not make assumptions. Those other MTs may not be following instructions either. You are responsible for your own work, not theirs. Take this QA and run with it, learn from it, put it in your autotext for goodness sake and let it do the work for you! I tell my MTs what the client wants the client gets...No two accounts will ever be the exact same. Right now our account wants ever single drug capitalized (generic or not)...yes that goes against the BOS, but they our paying us to provide a service and we shall provide that service according to their terms set out in their guidelines. Do not take this personally. If the QA does not do their job, how do you expect to do yours?
"It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's the work you put in the hours."

I can't find any video as you're suggesting. Thx.
