your pedal to work with the Olympus program. The files that work with Olympus are .DSS files and while your Bytescribe program may be able to play those files, it will work much better with the Olympus program. Problem with the Olympus program is that it ONLY plays .DSS files and nothing else or it used to five years ago. They may have come out with an updated versions since then.

Sounds like a load of horse puckey.
The ONLY way I can see that, and I highly doubt it, is if her docs have mostly standard exams that give her a HUGE boost in lines.
On eScription I did a group of cancer docs who really had pretty standard exams so I could EDIT 1000 lph easily but noooo way could I straight type 600 lph.
Everytime you re-load Word you need to re-load Stedmans medical spellchecker.

Sounds like there may be another program running in the background.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete ONE time and check the applications that are running. Close any that are not needed/wanted.
Also, run a virus scan to make sure there are no stealth programs such as key logger, virus, etc. that are running and could be slower your computer down.
Are you transcribing directly from an Internet download? If so, the speed that carrier is quoting is MAX speed, not constant speed; if there are a lot of other people on your "line", then speed will be slower.

When I first downloaded Express Scribe, I had to configure my new USB foot pedal by programming it within the Express Scribe. I guess some would rather have the rewind and fast forward opposite. I guess it would depend on the player you are using. For Express Scribe, it is under the settings tab I believe. :)
You can configure it yourself and have one added in

you should be able to go into options and configure it

I don't think you have to configure anything. I always am plugged into tower, but can do either.

I just found that you configure your regular keyboard

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
What a load of ....
hooey! Forty five-year-old people getting high, cussing like teenagers (can you say no class), and acting like idiots? You MUST be an old hippie. The establishement? LOL Yes, I must be a sell out. But then again, I know how to act in a social setting without offending everybody in a 10 foot radius. Don't even get me started about hippies. My brother is a 57-year-old specimen who hasn't grown up either, still toking on his joints every day. God gave us the ability to judge for good reason.
Get a load of this....
MTSO here - I *used* to send my accounts Christmas gifts, but I stopped doing it. Why? Because one year, after sending a $100.00 gift basket to one of my docs, for thanks, he dictated a formal letter to me, mixed in with his other dictation, thanking me!!??
Another very well to do doc sent me a $3.00 or so Walmart-style Hersey mug with a little bag of Hersey kisses in return for the nice gift basket I sent him.
Two years in a row, another doc couldn't even scrung up a thank you note - no acknowledgement whatsoever.
Another office did the same thing - no thank you - no note - no nothing.
Needless to say, my gift giving came to an end after about three years of this.
What a load of crap!!!!....nm

they were carrying most of the load
thats why they were sick at the end.

Work load
I've been with Amphion since June and it has been pretty easy to steadily increase my line count. I've never been harassed by anyone. There is tons of work and right now mandatory overtime, an hour extra a day plus whatever you want to work after that. I have no complaints myself.
work load
Not too much going on today. I did about 300 lines, (whee!) and did about 1200 yesterday. Boring...
yep - my PS said not to load it and I disabled

Use the Load button.
Find the Load button in the toolbar, navigate to where the file is saved and load it into Express Scribe.

Work Load
For the past 4 months the work load has been consistently lighter, i.e., less work throughout the day. At first I thought the company overhired, then I blamed the holidays, and now my boss is blaming the Inauguration. I have 4 accounts and all 4 have less work during the day and run out by 7 or 9 pm. EST. Three are based in the Maryland area and 1 is in Florida (so the Inauguration blame game does not work there) I can't even begin to understand how the West Coast girls are dealing with this. Anyone else having this problem? I am trying to decide if it is worthwhile to pick up a part-time job or just hope this gets better? My pay has been steadily decreasing for 4 months now and it has to start picking up or I can't keep up with the bills.
get a load of this math
ST: 250 lines an hour at 8 cents a line is $20.00. (I can do 250 an hour if I concentrate). If I can only do 200 lines an hour, that is still $16.00 an hour.
Now for the VR:
VR: 400 lines (roughly 60% more than straight typing 250 lines an hour) at 3 cents a line is $12.00.
How is that more money? It's a 25% cut!
How many of you spent years perfecting your macros and shortcuts and Expanders just to have it taken away from you so you can't make a decent living?
I won't be doing any VR work. I think they wasted their money with this new technology. They could have given us raises with that money and had happy employees cranking out the lines. Win-win.
Too bad for us. Shafted, once again!
let it load up completely and then just listen...sm
and watch the screen - turn speakers on!! too funny but Big Brother did come to mind....*grin*

How can I get it to auto load the next file? sm
I'm also new to ES and can't figure out how to get it to auto load the next job file when I click "done" with the current file. I have all my voice files in a folder and it loads them all, but sure would like to not have to manually load each new one. Can anyone help? TIA!
how to load files into Express
I can not remember how to set up express scribe to load files from my computer.
Trying to load voice files, anyone?
Wanting to go to work for a new company. What I am getting is - voice files failed to load- object does not support this method.
I would like to know- has anyone experienced something similar and if so any suggestions? Thought maybe too much on my computer or ?? Thanks so much.

decreased patient load
I'm in an office doing transcription and our revenue is way down. Even people with insurance still have to pay some part of their office visit or test or prescription and making those payments has become difficult so they're either avoiding paying them or avoiding coming in for the appointment. So, yes the economy is affecting our business as well b/c the patient load is down significantly.
Don't do anything, just tell him to go ahead and do what he
has to do. If he's not for real, the threat has been not worked. If he is for real, he MUST have documentation to prove his case, or even then it's no use taking it to court. He will file in small claims probably, if less than $5000. He must prove his case, and you don't have to do anything, bottom line.
Don't get too ahead of yourself..
You may certainly have a valid argument, but don't base it on the "fact" that rad reports are all paid by report. I have been doing rad for over 12 years now, and have yet to be paid by report. Most are by the line, and any MTSO I have worked for, rad is one of the lowest line rates compared to other work type accounts. Yes, there are companies that pay by the report, but, I surely wouldn't go so far as saying that is the "norm".
Then go ahead. Not me.

Go ahead
post it! You will feel so much better and be able to continue knowing you got your two cents in. Sometimes it makes you wonder about American standards for the practice of medicine, does it not? Doesn't it make sense that in America doctors should be able to communicate properly and have a handle on the language? Accents are not what I am talking about either. I am talking about vocabulary and grammar that can possibly cause a change outcome. This is a very serious business, medicine. Those who dictate should be qualified to dictate. Amen.
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
Olympus
The small company I work for uses the Olympus system. The owner told me it costs about $600 per doctor. She provided the software to the transcriptionists and the doctors. We each purchased a wave pedal ($69). The doctors have recorders. The office manager sends the dss files via e-mail to the Transcriptionist as an attachment with a cc to the owner. The transcriptionist does the work and e-mails it back to the doctor with a cc to the owner. The program encrypts the file, so that the transcriptionist and the doctor has to use the same software.
Olympus DS-330. nm

Olympus
I have an Olympus and it was around 200. I simply love it. The guy at the store said Olympus quality is one of the best in cameras. I was looking at Sony because I like Sony products but he said in cameras they are not tops.
Olympus DS-10
The Olympus DS-10 will not allow the docs to tape over what they record. I had to get this for one my docs who kept taping over everything. They get very upset when the tape over everything.

Olympus
has hand-held units that he can dictate into just like he does with his tapes. He then plugs it into his computer and it uploads. He then sends you the file, like an e-mail. It is pretty simple. My old-time docs handle it pretty well. Good luck.
Olympus
I think the editing capabilities they are referring to means that the doctor can go back into a recording he has already done, like into the middle of it, and insert something he forgot. If I were you, I would NOT get one that allows this. I started out giving my docs the DS330, which has editing capabilites. On several occasions they ended up overwriting their recording completely or inserting things in the wrong place and overwriting portions of the recording. It was a NIGHTMARE. If you have docs who are very careful, it may not be a problem, but my docs are not careful at all with these things. Then they got upset at the recorder and at me! Oh brother.... Anyway, they eventually got used to the recorders and have been using them now for years with no more problems with overwriting. But in the beginning they had a rough time.
Now I give out the Olympus DS2, which does not have editing capabilites and have had none of the above problems. Docs use it with ease and there is no worry of overwriting a file. If I were you, I'd go with the DS2. The DS330 is discontinued anyway. Good luck.
I use Olympus DSS
The client set me up with it, and I only have experience with the transcription units, although I know the dictation units have docking stations that send the voice files to the computer.
I checked and one transcription unit runs around $400, although you can find it a little bit cheaper if you look hard enough.
Hope this helps. 
Yes, it's an Olympus WS-100. sm
Thanks for responding. No software came with it, as it is a USB port that acts like a regular driver. I'm looking for Microsoft Explorer, but come up with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Olympus
I have all my physician's using Olympus recorders also. Not too expensive, great Olympus support and very easy to operate.
I have an Olympus DM-1 and you only need
a cable to upload voice files to the computer. In fact, I lost the original software that came with the unit, but Windows automatically detects the connection and opens an upload window as soon as I connect the USB cable and turn on the unit. The rest I don't know about, but I do know you can upload the voice files with *only* the USB cable that fits the handheld unit...
Olympus
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I don't have Olympus software, just the free download that is call DSS Player Lite. I guess that doesn't have a converter in it, I didn't see one. I have since downloaded other software to try and play this file and nothing will. I guess I may just have to break down and buy some software since the free stuff isn't working??
Olympus
I had purchased the same model and found that you could not tape over anything the physician had already dictated. It is for taping conferences, meetings, etc.
