I have it - it works great and updates daily, unlike
Norton and/or McAfee, BOTH of which allowed viruses to infect my computer. I won't spend any more of my hard-earned dollars on either. If you register with Avast, you can have their service free for 13 months. It runs in the background and checks literally everything, including net, email and any attachments that come with emails.
I change mine daily
I use td for today's date and yd for yesterday's date and I just change them every day.
It's really not a great idea to disable Windows updates. Just because updates are scheduled to be
installed, does not mean 7.0 will be automatically installed on your pc. You will always receive a notification when installing anything other than critical updates, which 7.0 is not.
Does anyone know why the wave volume control on my master volume controls... SM
on my PC would turn itself all the way down? It's driving me nuts! It's like it resets itself to the low possible setting and when I go to work, I'm turning my speakers up full blast trying to hear and when I check my volume controls on my PC, the wave setting is turned all the way down. I turn it back and everything is loud and clear and I have to turn my speakers back down and then I'll do something the internet and BOOM it resets itself!
I feel bad because I've been accusing my kids of messing with the controls and they have been swearing they didn't do it and I haven't exactly believed them, but it has happened twice to me this evening while I'm working and I know no one else has touched my PC but me.
And here's where OSi sends low pay:
"Whether we think offshore labor is right or wrong, it has become a fact we cannot escape from. OSi will not actively pursue offshore labor contracts, but we have made the decision to experiment with using some offshore labor to save this large OSi client from going elsewhere. We believe this is the best decision for our employees assigned to this account and the company because this account is growing and we can assign the offshore part to the future increases and not have to reassign any OSi MTs. OSi is committed to continue using US MTs for the majority of their work and we will continue to resist going offshore."
The company I contract with always sends something....
MT week they usually give some thing cute with their logo, pens, note pads, mug, travel mug, a mouse pad, etc. Christmas most usually is a snack food in a tin, always yummy, cute and appreciated. :-)
One sends me work via Mydocsonline another - sm
just emails the sound files to me. Have access to FTP but they prefer to email it.
Any company that sends you a Form 1099 has also
reported that income to the IRS, so it will have to be claimed by you. BUT, they only HAVE to issue a 1099 if they paid you more than $600. However, the first company you worked for might issue a 1099 anyway because they would want to deduct that 'labor' as an expense on their side. If you don't receive one from them by the end of the first week of Feb, I would call or email to find out if they are going to send one. Also, since this is your first experience as an IC, I would consult an accountant. There are so many more 'business' deductions that you can take to help eliminate some of that income. I am self-employed and my husband is self-employed and I am "in love" with my accountant. He works wonders! 
Often it is the clerk who types up and sends emails. nm

Our church sends care packages....sm
Some of the things we send are:
Pretzels, chips like Pringles in a hard can, peppermint or hard candy, beef jerky, cheese crackers (the kind with cheese or peanut butter in them), the canisters of Oreos, Cheezits, etc.
If they have kitchen facilities or a microwave available to them: microwave popcorn, Ramen noodles in a cup, Cup of soup.
We also send word-search puzzle books, crossword puzzles, and perhaps some magazines that they might be interested in.
Hope this helps. :)
My hospital sends their work to a company
The reason this person is sticking up for the offshoring of American work is that she is one of the people taking our work away.
love the art, sends heartbreaking message, still beautiful
No, corporate greed is what sends work overseas.
The only reason offshoring is alive is because our fellow Americans are too cheap to pay a living wage. They want their companies to show a greater profit and stock to go up.
I am an excellent MT. However, I can't make squat for money in this field because every single company I get on with sticks me with their lousiest accounts. I've learned seven new accounts in the past month between a small MTSO and a national. That's how it works. You do your best, QA scores reflect it, and they give you their garbage that nobody else will do.
To Administrators: LawScribe, one of your advertises sends all work Overseas! sm
Thought you'd want to know. I contacted them and was told they do not hire anyone local in the USA, and only hire overseas. How interesting? Since you don't support overseas coming and taking our jobs, I thought you'd be interested in knowing this, or maybe you already know?
Have a great day!
InterPro often sends IMs to staff to NOT send feedback if they are "too busy" or there is too
:(
I currently type for a doctor who dictates with a digital handheld and sends the files via e-mail fo
and wanted to be able to call me with his dictations. What would be the best and cheapest way for me to go so that he can do his dictations without the handheld unit?? I don't want to invest in a lot because he does not forget very often. This is the first time in three months. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
updates
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/render.aspx?displaylang=en&content=updateservices#
click "Microsoft Update"
click "Express"
you have to do this in Internet Explorer.
updates
the whole software was installed via net, and they say there has been no problem ever with that with other users, and it seems this is the latest software they are having.
They don't do yearly updates and never have. If you must
get hysterical about something at least get the real information about what you are carrying on about. Statements like this just make folks dismiss what you are saying because you don't know what you are talking about.
Anyone more updates on MQ bankruptcy?
 When I read that note on this board a week or two ago, it got me really worried. I'm working really hard right now training on a new MQ account, and the thought of losing my job in the near future makes me want to cry. Any feedback out there? Does anyone know what's going on?
Go to CNN.com for all of your news updates.
I also get my local newspaper online free. Why pay and kill trees when the highlights are all on the internet?
Automatic updates, or
http://www.microsoft.com/dst2007
You may have to update your calendaring programs and some cell phones as well.
Did security updates; seems all better now. -- nm
I have an HP and intermittently get updates for it...sm
Might try that before you uninstall and reinstall. Good luck!
Waiting for what? They don't do yearly updates.
What else is there to say? But if you want to keep on whining about something that is untrue be my guest.
Stedman's with the yearly updates. nm
s
MS Word has updates, just as Windows does. Have you
.
I was only going to get the book, but no more online updates. sm
You need to get the CD in order to get updates. Ellen Drake said on www.mtchat.com that the CD is much better than last year's.
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.

volume...
It helps to have speakers where you can plug the headphones in instead of putting them into the computer modem.
low volume
I have a sound booster called "Boosteroo" that I bought to help with my laptop not having enough volume. I just plug my headphones into it and plug it into the computer and it helps a lot.
Volume
When you are doing a job, do you have box in the lower left hand corner that tells how many minutes the job is and how far you are in to it. It also has a forward and back button. Do you see it? Click on the "more" button. Once there you can adjust the speed of the voice, the speed of the playback and the volume. You need to click and drag to raise the volume, increase sped, etc.
Hope this helps.
I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
Thanks! Do you have a spellcheck that includes drug updates?
The Stedman's and then you buy the yearly updates afterward. nm
s
Thanks for the updates, glad to hear things
are going well for you. Go to church together, even if you split. Life can get better. God bless!
Has anyone updated yet to the new version of XP to 7.0 on updates and how does it work.
:
I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates
I'm sorry to hear that. To each his/her own. I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates. I would encourage anyone to try out software before you buy it.
Need to load some microsoft updates, need assistance here
I was told to go to microscoft and upload the latest - got the information to go to windows and click the express button and download and install. Where in the heck is the express button? Don’t see that anywhere. Thanks.
Are you sure the volume is not turned down (sm)
in the "audio" of the gearplayer or that mute is checked in the "audio"?
Well, I keep the volume pretty low (sm)
and just reach over and bump up the remote occasionally. My quality is very good but I will admit that my productivity probably isn't. I could probably do 2000 lines or more a day easily without the TV. I do about 1750 a day without it.
Low work volume, anyone??
I am used to being busy this time of year, not sitting here waiting for work to drop in! No, I do not work for MQ...
Headset volume
I don't know what version you have, but with mine I do this with my "mumblers"...
In Express Scribe:
Go to File, then Special Audio Processes, and then Extra Volume Boost.
It will load and only takes a few seconds. I think you may have to do that for each file or you may have to do it again if you close out Express Scribe; haven't figured that out yet.
Hope this helps....
Transnet volume
Thanks, Lilly. I have that box for traditional typing jobs, but for speech we use a different version. We did figure it out, though. It is - plain and simply - F2, and then slide the volume control up.
I appreciate your time to help, and thank you!
low work volume
Amy, I could have written that post. It's been slow most of the summer. It was not this way last summer. The thing I hate the most is the service I work for never communicates a word to the MT's. Never says hang in there, it's slow, we are working on getting more accounts, go jump in a lake, nothing. Nice!
If you have not switched over to the new website for MQ updates call 800 dictate and get that done
and you will find that news on there.
Where I am, using Winscribe, the supervisor on duty routine gives updates (sm)
with who is working on a particular account, how many jobs there are, if any have been kicked back (she/he can tell as they are out of sequence, obviously taken into someones local queue and then returned to the pool. The name of those working at any given time is announced, this lets us know if someone comes on board during unscheduled hours without clocking in.
It is great for me as I follow the rules. We are not to take jobs into the local queue (cherrypicking) and we are not to work outside of scheduled hours unless it is granted and there is ample work for the person coming on board so they do not take away from the regularly scheduled MTs. I love my job!
How many of you that use computers know how to do updates, repairs, clean up viruses, etc?
Just because I work every day using a computer, my husband has said tonight he thinks I should go to a computer class because I spent out $150 today for a person to come and get rid of several viruses on my computer. I asked my husband if he were so interested in this, why didnt he go to computer class and learn himself. I said I was coming on MTstars and just see how many of us transcriptionists also do our own repairs. Ok, MTers, now is your time to speak up!
The fluctuations in volume from one dictator to the next
nm
Go into your master volume on your computer....
make sure in playback control that your wave playback is not muted and the volume is up there.
Hope this helps!
Yes...extremely low volume since just after Christmas! nm
