there was a heavy wet snowfall during the night that was not expected?  How about your doors frozen shut so you can't get out.  My husband often sleeps in the barn at night during a hard winter so he can take care of the animals so they do not get hurt or that they do not have problems when calving.  We do things for ourselves.  We have to walk along the path of the power lines with ropes thrown over them to knock the snow off so they don't break from the weight of the ice and snow.   We have all learned to use snow shoes to stay safe in these storms. 

Do you know what 30 below zero with 40 mph winds is. 

I too have this internet connection for the same obvious reasons.  I live in a rural area of Washington.  The local cable/phone companies say  the population will not support DSL out here.  Like that is going to change for me or we even have cable available. So for now I guess i will chase away all the hunters and talk the critters out here into mulitpling.

I do know that Direcway offers several different types of devises i will refer to as a "modem".  I have made some upgrades in this area and what a difference it has made. Downloads and uploads are very quick and I seldome have a problem downloading files for work.  My internet connection is better than the TV service. It is more consistant.  I am told that one of the TV satilite companies are offering Earthlink DSL.  Again, not in my area. Check yours out.

Cell coverage out here is nonexistant with the exception of Nextell.  At this point Sprint will not get a signal out here.  While they work out the aspects of business i hope they include this feature.  Untill then you need to make the 13 mile trek to town to use the cell phone.

Bottom line is, when we live way out like we do, we dont have choices.  Nor would i move to town. 

We have directway and we are not happy with it. They sold the company and now they only allow so much broadband with that you can use. It is only about 200 worth and when that runs out you start getting page cannot be displayed. We are actually changing over to Dish network.

I would do your research on this before jumping into it.

dealers.  Depending on your ISP you may be able to get it through your ISP.  I use Earthlink and they offer satellite through DirecWay.  I used to have DW satellite and equipment was about $800.00 and monthly service $69.

Satellite can be as slow as dial-up depending on how good your dish is sighted, if the weather is clear, no wind blowing to either blow the dish or blow tree limbs into the field, etc.  Download is faster than upload, although upload files tend to be much smaller that it isn't much of an issue.

Lots of companies will not allow satellite as it isn't secure.

You can Google DirecWay and Starband and find their websites that should tell you dealers in your area.  If you have DirectTv they can change out the dish so that you can use the internet dish as the TV dish too.  The internet dish is much larger than the TV dish and probably cannot be mounted on the house. 

I should've explained the reason for my question in the first place.  I live in rural Ohio, really rural, and besides dial-up, which, by the way, worked okay until the cold weather hit, a little slow, but okay, and a lot less expensive than DWay.  The only option I had, that I could find anyway, was Direcway.  Have any other Ohio MTs found anything else out there that works?  I'm in northeastern Ohio, about an hour from Pittsburgh, PA.

It is no longer a question of whether medical transcription will survive. The move away from traditional, free-text medical transcription is inevitable, given the improvements in speech recognition technology and natural language processing; the development of standardized templates through HL7’s CDA (clinical document architecture), ASTM schema, and other similar efforts; XML-based communication; and point-of-care mobile devices that will ultimately facilitate real-time documentation. And it is very clear that real-time, point-of-care documentation by the practitioner will replace transcription! This can already be seen in countries outside the United States that are developing direct entry, interactive, structured text documentation without going through all the evolutionary steps from traditional, free text transcription.
