Why were the guardsmen there?  We have freedom to protest.  The military is not allowed to patrol and keep tabs on the people.  That is the job of cops.  The military is used to defend the US not control its citizens.  The governor of Ohio was wrong and that has been proven.  There was no tear gas thrown at the guardsmen, there were stocks and rocks and then the guardsmen shot their guns and killed students.

second job is everything but ops since that is all someone wants on the account I'm on.

It's not all cut and paste. Make macros for common phrases. If you find you keep spelling something wrong, make a macro of the wrong spelling so that it automatically corrects it. I write down my words that keep getting stopped in spell check and at the end of the day I make a macro of it to put in the correct spelling. If it needs a capital letter, make a macro so that it capitalizes for you w/o hitting the shift key. If it's an abbreviation that needs to be capitalized, macro a macro of it. Lowercase pt comes out as PT, pmh comes out as PMH. I use pmh- to make it print out as past medical history and put a semicolon after pmh; for it to print out in capital letters. I have macros for the % sign. 1P = 1% and goes all the way up to 100p for 100%, 1L is 1 liter, 1h = 1 hour. If you are constantly typing certain headings for doctors make a macro of it. I have one doctor that wants all different headings than on the template we are given. I made a template just for him where everything is capitalized and bolded the way he wants so that saves me a ton of time. Make macros for your common meds. Also put correct caps of meds into your spellcheck. If I capitalize something like prednisone, it will make it automatically a lowercase w/o stopping on it except if it is the beginning of a sentence.

gives you the number and lets you do with it what you will or he loses your trust.  It could be that he is making this whole story up to cover up the fact that this woman may call again on his cell phone.  Men are snakes at times.  Don't be a fool.  My ex-husband was calling his girlfriend on our cell phone and telling me that it was the number of a woman who had a van for sale.  He was in the used car business so it was a plausible explanation.  Too bad for him that I have a suspicious nature, wrote the number down and kept it for posterity.  A few weeks later my husband's friend (who's wife was a friend of the girlfriend) called from this number and it showed on my caller id.  Too much of a conincidence for me.  Maybe your husband is honest Abe and you trust him completely, but there is no such thing as perfect, and most women whose husbands have had affairs, never saw it coming.  You can call me a cynic, but I'll never be a fool again and I hate to see other women be fooled.

And don't listen to the Pollyannas below you telling you that you are overreacting and that you should calm down.  Utter nonsense.  You have every right to be angry.  You have every right to want that person's phone number and to call her telling her to never call again.  And, if I were you, I'd be calling this friend of your husband's and letting him know what you think of him and threaten to tell his wife.  The friend has no respect of his wife or marriage and so you can bet he has no respect for you or yours.  Who cares if your husband loses him as a friend.  He doesn't really need friends like that anyway!

Marriage is hard and you have to fight to keep it going.  So fight.

a Lanier transcriber?  Bought it on ebay and do not see an erase function.

TIA,

Dawn!

A lot of people also have disabled the erasing mechanism so that tapes cannot accidentally be erased and have to manually erase them.   I have always done that to prevent it after my first accidental erasure.  Other than allowing the tape to play forward without background noise, to tape over what is there,  no answers here and have been using tapes for 15+ years.   A manual eraser cost is cheap.

I found great, low-cost software that allows you to convert tapes to digital files (MP3, WAV, WMA, etc.).  Check out www.dak.com !  Your PC needs a sound card and a line-in connection (usually next to your line out to plug in your headset or speakers), as well as a tape player and an actual line that plugs from your PC line-in to your tape player.  Think they call that line a male-to-male or male-to-female or something like that (got my line from www.martelelectronics.com).  Use Dak to convert your music cassettes, too.  Hope this helps!

HELP!  I have had a microcassette tape break.  Any ideas on how to fix it (if possible!)? 

Thanks!

I love it!  It is so cut and dry.  I throw the tape in and start typing.  You may save time so people think by going digital, but it takes time to upload and download voice files.  I just find that throwing the tape and typing is just simple!  Of course, I'm a simple person.

In answer to your question, yes I think you may have something there as the tape doctors do not want to go digital because they like doing things simply.  They don't want a lot of hassle, and yes, I do believe there are physicians that still like the old method.  Some do not think that digital is very user friendly. 

The other problem with digital is there needs to be someone in the office doing the uploading, which mean the physician is paying them to do that.  With the tape, the doctor puts it in a folder with his patient list at the end of the day, and then leaves it for me.  The only thing required by the office staff is the copying and mailing when I bring the work back usually anywhere from 3-4 days later.  They do not require 24-hour turnaround, which is great.  But, if they do need a note, which happens very rarely, I can simply fax it over to the office.

I am quite content with my tape accounts and the other thing I like is the networking.  I can network with the office staff and feel like a movie star since they don't see me every day.  They usually stop what they are doing for a friendly quick chat, which is very nice.  I have business cards that I carry just in case someone mentions to me that so and so is looking for a transcriptionist.
