I will check out the port. As for the Bytescribe - sm
It did not give me an option, probably because I was re-installing from copying it from another computer. Says I have used up all my installs, so I need to call them and get a code, though the player did still work, just not with the pedal. My other program wouldn't work either. I will check out the port this morning and see, otherwise returning cable and buying a 9-pin card; at least then I know everything will work (otherwise computer being returned...have 3 weeks to do so, don't want to though, it is very nice).
check the equipment board--several listed there--nm

transcriptiongear.com is a geat place to check, too. nm

Check your local police station, that'd be the place to look.
I bet they don't outsource that.....or do they? Interesting.
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.
If there is such a device, I want one to
I just had QA get me for missing "a" at the beginning of a sentence. There is a sound of humming like what you would hear under an electrical power grid, do you know what I mean? It would take superhero-type hearing to hear some things, even QA sends them to the facility.
So, where is this filter before I lose my job???
USB device
Compusa has a device that connects from poarallel to USB and we have 2 computers at home and they work great. It is called Belkin.
You might want to try a device called
an EQ-50. I bought mine from Martel, and then discovered they could be bought elsewhere for less. It is an equalizer, and also boosts the sound a bit. It is connected to your headphones, and can be used with either a transcriber for tapes or connected to the computer for digital files.
I posted regarding this item a while back, and a couple of people posted that they bought this and did not like it. I am EXTREMELY pleased with mine. I rarely have to send blanks to QA anymore. Someone mentioned a noise they were hearing when they tried to use it, and with mine I do hear a sound like that which you hear coming from stereo speakers when the stereo is on but no music is playing. Also, I have gotten interference from other electronic equipment before, but easily solved that by simply moving the EQ-50 a little bit. I believe that I paid around $30-35 for mine, and then Googled and found them for maybe about $18.
I cannot live without mine at this point, and plan to order a back-up just in case something happens to the one I've got.
Oh, and it does require two AAA batteries also.
This little device stops
stuttering. Wouldn't it be great if docs who stutter when dictating would use it? It helps 80% of people who try it!

Handheld Device
My doctors switched over to the Olympus WS 110 digital recorder. It's fantastic and reasonably priced.
Some sort of heater device
I read about a device you can buy for the deep cystic-type acne. I believe the machine was about $200, but it is supposed to be a miracle cure for treating deep cystic acne. The drawback would be that the device has to be held on each cyst for a couple of minutes I believe, so hundreds of cysts like you describe would take a long, long time to treat. I would ask the dermatologist if he thought finasteride would have any effect. That drug shuts down the part of testosterone that causes male pattern baldness. Maybe it would have an effect on acne, too. I think I'll research that for you.
I use a Turtle Beach device.
It plugs into the back of the computer and enhances the volume as well as the quality of sound. But I needed to get an extender from Radio Shack since it plugs in the back (but if you have any USB jacks in front, that would work too).

testing a nifty little device (sm)
called Magicjack.com. It's $39.99 (device included) and a year of unlimited long-distance, VOIP. You plug it into your USB port, but must have high-speed Internet. Check it out, it may be beneficial for you.
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
They must be talking about the handheld computer device (sm)
they use in some hospitals to keep track of vitals, meds and patient information.
I know of one hospital that uses this and it is used in rehab. They don't need transcriptionists at all. 
Has anyone used an external Sound Blaster device?
I'm not sure what the name of it is, but you connect to it via USB. It costs $50.00 and says the sound quality is significantly better than standard sound cards, you can transfer cassettes and LPs to MP3 files, .... My main concern is I want an increase in sound quality of my wav files.
Just wondering if the sound quality is really that much better. I have notebook computers and the PC cards are $100.00. I was thinking this might be a substitute for the PC card.
Hi Amanda from WV (I once lived in Morgantown!). No drivers to download, has a USB optical device.

The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
You are right. I never thought about only 1 port. sm
My tower has 2 in the front and 4 in the back. Could the USB ports maybe be under a cover of some sort. Kind of like the little rubber things on a digital camera where you plug in your USB cable?
I have relatives in Port St. Lucie and....sm
they used to live in Miami, but lost everything to Hurricaine Andrew. Now that they're in Port St. Lucie they have learned from the "Andrew" mistakes and for Wilma made sure they had plenty of food, water and gas for the generator that they bought. They knew they should have gone to a shelter but during Andrew the official shelter they were in had its roof blown off and they sat there wet and cold for hours until the storm blew over and decided to not do that route again. They knew with Wilma that they risked having their home destroyed while in it but made that choice.
They did sustain damage to the house with Wilma but aren't waiting and insisting that the government bail them out. They had already talked to a contractor before the storm and had him lined up and ready to come out after the storm was over so they didn't have to wait on long waiting lists. These aren't rich people - my aunt is a retired school teacher and my uncle has been disabled for many years. They're just smart enough to realize that if you live in an area that is prone to severe storms that you have to be prepared or not whine and expect the government to bail you out.
The people in Louisiana knew days ahead of time that they should get out of town and they didn't. It didn't help that the Mayor there basically blew the situation off until after the fact and then decided the federal goverment should have done what he should have done in the beginning - made arrangements for people to get the heck away from there if they didn't have travel means. Instead he transported people to shelters that were right in the midst of the storm and then cried to the world that the government purposefully caused people to die. Gimme a break. IF anyone is guilty of that it's him because he didn't take the appropriate actions which were even outlined in the New Orleans City official disaster plan.
Living in Georgia and in a "tornado alley" part of the state I know my odds are that my house could get demolished by a twister. When a severe storm arises I high-tail it to the basement. Since we also get remnants of hurricaines at times, ice storms, etc. I always have enough food and water to last for several days in the basement, along with plenty of candles and batteries. I also have lots of logs for the fire place to cover winter storms.
You don't have to be rich to prepare for a disaster.... just smart about it and plan ahead of time. If you live in a coastal state then buy that hurricaine insurance and don't whimper that we need to buy you a new house if you don't have insurance and your home gets destroyed. I have homeowner's insurance but if my house were to burn down and I didn't have insurance would it be the government's responsibility to build me a new one? No.
OMG!!! I'm in the Northeast too - Port Richmond!

USB port. Is there a way to convert the files?
I just do them as they come in. I must have 20 different ways to download audio files on my computer, but I don't know how to convert audio files from one program to another
Heck, I have to ask my 11-year-old to get the DVD player to work.
Getting ooooold I guess. I'm like my parents who used to put a piece of black electrical tape over the flashing clock on the VCR because they didn't know how to reset it until the 7-year-old granddaughter came over and fixed it for them. 
Pedals usually last for years. Try it in another USB port if that's what it uses. nm

un- attached chest port?
My son has a chest port. He can lift up three corners of the port, make a pocket out of loose skin and slid his thumb under the port. He says the port is supposed to float freely within a tissue pocket created in his chest. It is his belief the port is Not sutured to anything inside him, like, say, the chest wall for example. Hmmmm! I am seeking outside opinions as he and I disagree. Please let me know what you think.

is it a game port adapter?
If it is, you may have to click on "gameport" on Express Scribe
Does anyone use a game port pedal and use
I am considering employment with a company that uses a pedal for the audio that may require a sound card be installed on my PC. I currently use a USB wav pedal to receive dictation that are dss files, wav, etc. Does anyone know if I can install the sound card and still use the USB wav pedal or would that take a lot of tinkering back and forth. I am considering Zylomed, and I think they use MT World. Would anyone be able to offer any information regarding this type of situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
foot pedal COM port
If you have not gotten help with this, why not call your tech support line.
You wrote Start-Stop. Is this the patented HTH Engineering StartStop foot pedal and software? They have a toll-free line.
If it's not and you want to call me, you may.
Did you select the right port under options? sm
In the Bytescribe, look under ports and select USB (assuming that is what you converted to).
Does anyone know if you have a foot pedal for a USB port if you can convert it somehow to a 9 pin
port or must you buy another foot pedal. Anyone ever had trouble with foot pedal compatability with using their own computer.
WAV pedal/serial port question.
I work for an MTSO that uses a pedal with a serial plug, and my lap top does not have a serial port, so have plugged it into a USB adapter. The dictation is coming across has somewhat "hesitant"--there are pauses at times and I really have to bash the pedal to get it going again (the pedal works just fine if I use it on the MTSO's computer, which I don't want to keep doing--I need to be portable with my lap top). The tech people haven't been too motivated to help; I can only use my own computer if I don't require tech support, though I'm told many people do it successfully.
Anyway, bottom line, the adapter is showing up in Com-Port 4, and the tech says it needs to be in 1, though I can't get any further advise. When the adapter is plugged in, the MTSO's software shows a drop down menu for ComPort 3 or 4; there is no 1. Any suggestions from any of you tech geniuses out there?? Oh, I also have a USB pedal from another service, but that is showing up in ComPort 3 and won't work at all.
Look under Settings, I think. Your pedal might be in the wrong port. nm

she said that the usb port worked with her printer, but not any pedals.
not the driver, then. it is not the port that is the problem. :^)
Another thing you might try, is reinstalling the driver for your USB port. SM
If you right click on your "My Computer" icon, click "Properties", then click on the "Hardware" tab. Then click on the "Device Manager" button. You'll see a list of all your hardware devices. Find your USB devices and double click. You'll see the button for reinstalling the driver. Go from there and follow the steps.
You may have to change the port setting for the footpedal.
Under Settings, Control tab. Try different ones to see if you can find one that will work with your pedal.
Just stick it in a USB port. Use it just like a floppy disk.
Start/Stop Com Port settings
Have you played with the Com port setting under the Configure button? I have had to try mine in all 8 until I found the right one.
To determine what kind of port the footpedal
has, look at it. If the wire at the end is flat, then it is a USB. If it is round and has 9 little holes, then it is a serial port.
The newest computers have in the back a USB- and a serial-port. If you have only the USB port and the footpedal has a serial, then you have to buy an adapter and vice versa.
In addition you have then to access your footpedal setting in the computer and set them right:
Click control panel/footswitch setting and choose the right port, USB or serial.
Shop for a "USB to game port adapter".
Staples, Radio Shack or Office Max should have them. ebay should have them. If not, Google for a seller.
Get a game port/USB adapter from Radio Shack - This will at
problem. I am sorry you are having trouble. I love my Dell, but use serial port (9-pin) for my work. Have used the game port adapter at a previous job without a problem though.
I use an adapter, but mine is game port and not serial. I
didn't need any drivers for it to work. Have you tried rebooting?
Then I am wrong and it is Editscript that works only with a serial port, sorry! nm

I've searched and not all Dell laptops have the parallel port.
So I just wanted to check to see more specifics from those who have. Thanks.
i use a radio shack game port adapter for my 9-pin - 12 bucks

yes to any of the ones listed below, PLUS
Any stuttering ESL! Is there anything worse? I had one Chinese doc who stuttered so badly it made me literally squirm in my chair to hear him. Then he would repeat himself and every other word was "uh and." It was excruciating!
there are so many a few listed below
deaconess.com
medterms.com
doctorspiller.com
mercksource.com
hundreds others, literally
See, it listed on there
the vehicle, the VIN and everything else in my possession, and it said whoever's got whatever, goes to whoever (you know what I mean!! :) THAT was what I signed. I got a DRAFT of the property agreement, but on the final document, nothing is specified, just whatever he's got is his and whatever I've got is mine (this was not something I signed...this is what I got after going to court). And maybe things vary in different states....I dunno, but I had to be present with my attorney, as did he, but neither he nor his laywer showed up. But I needed the FINAL COPY to say the VIN number and the specifics for the DMV. That's all.
I look at the website you listed.
There a ton of great jobs there but where do they list the jobs for MTs?
If only one printer is listed...
How can you change your default? Can you actually create a default that does not exist?
Since when are CTs listed under labs?
 This company is something else. Maybe they would have more work if the editing staff could make up their minds. For months I have been putting CT/PET scan results under "Imaging" with other places "Radiographs". Was told by someone in QA it goes under labs? Okay, my mother works for a mircobiology lab -- they test blood, urine and tissue samples. Never have I heard of someone getting their CT scan from the lab! The lab is not the source of radiographic data to my knowledge. Did I miss something here?????????

are of any help, here is an alternate.
