If you aren't physically talking with another human being, they consider you in violation of the agreement and they will come after you. It happened to me.

Quick and easy last minute cleaning trick
Clean those vent covers from heaters, etc. the easy way. Put an old towel on the floor or beneath the vent to catch drips. Put hot water and your favorite cleaner (I use Fantastic because it really cuts the grease and grime fast) in a small bowl or pan. Take a medium to large paint brush and brush the cleaning solution over the slats in the ventilator covers. I do a quick brush over the whole thing first, then go back and start at top and work down. It will remove all the grime and gunk. Blot with a towel (real or paper). You do not need to remove the vent cover to do this. No need to rinse unless you use soapy solution.
at 9 cents per minute -- buy on E-bay
I have 4 docs that do an average of 2 to 2.5 hours per week each on tapes sometimes more, sometimes less but lets average 8 hours per week. That is $43.20 per week I pay you. My psychologist does 3 to 4 hours in addition to this. So there is another $20+. I just bought hand held Olympus recorder on E-Bay for $31.50 and even full price at Amazon was under $100. So one month of paying you would pay for my 4 hand helds. I have thought about this but just cannot afford the $150 to $200 it would cost me per month. And yes, I have had very good luck with buying on E-bay for transcribers, recorders, etc. So look on there or do a Google for digital recorders by brand, Olympus, etc. and it shows you which store has them for which amount. The bells and whistles are nice but a basic recorder that holds 2 to 4 hours of dictation is well below $100 and that is all you need to provide them with. Good luck. Just setting up an FTP and so don't have much info on that yet but searching it out. Patti
Gosh - 2.5 cents a minute is only $1.50 an hour.
I'd rather NOT have to pay $1.50 an hour to work, but it could be worse.
Toll Free Call In for only 8 cents per minute!

12 cents. I'd love to make 12 cents. sm
a line as an employee. 17 years acute care experiencing doing all work types and I only make 9 cpl plus incentives.
I'd take it and I make 9 cents
I'd take the $2.50 per page.
So you can get enough experience to make 8 cents?
Get the 8 cents now, you lose enough money by being slow. JMO!
I make 8.5 cents per line sm
The incentive is 2 cents per line for anything over 300 lines per hour. That equates to 10.5 cents per line, because I consistently do over 300 lph. That equals minimum of $31.50 per hour. I would never work by the hour.
Don't most make more than 5 cents a line??
I do not agree with you at all!
Is it possible to make a living off of 4 cents a line?
If there is anyone out there new and still considered a mentoree and able to work full time and make rent please tell me because I need some encouragement. I want to quit the day job to be able to do this fulltime but when I do the math it just doesn't add up to the rent:-)
Any words of encouragement would be helpful.

There is a trick
I did a concrete patio painted a couple of years back. We etched it first, which I think is supposed to be an important part of keeping the paint from peeling. After applying the concrete paint (which was bought at Lowe's), we waited the required time and put a sealer on it. So far, no problems.
Just an idea you might like -- we took all different shapes of leaves and did some concrete paint on them in a contrasting color and pressed them down around the edges to "pretty" it up a bit. We get tons of compliments!
a little trick
The > points right - more right-handers. The < points left - less left-handers.
what's the trick?
Could you please share with us or e-mail me what the trick is??? I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts!!!
Thanks!!!
Is this a trick everyone knows but me?
Maybe it's got to do with the way my pools were set up at past places, but I never got to see the entire body of work to pick what I wanted. At my current place, I get 2 jobs at a time that are automatically routed to me, I assume by computer. Once again, I have no look at what is out there. Theoretically, I guess I could return a job to the pool and take the chance that I'll get something better, but there is also the chance that I'll get something worse and that my repeated rejection of jobs while come to the attention of someone, bring their wrath down on me. I can spot sneaky a mile away, but I apparently never mastered the art of executing it.
Trick or treat
Since we have a Doberman, I doubt it will be a problem.
good trick
Thanks for the tip!! This is off the subject but I have seen other posts like from Mimi that end with "nm", what does that mean? Thanks
This is a neat trick, if you don't already use it...sm
I'm sure many of you have heard of this already, but for those who haven't...it sure helps me when I'm typing AND reading back over my work. You can hold down the control key and turn the roller wheel up a notch on your mouse to enlarge the print on your screen. Then just hit control and scroll it back down to make it smaller again. This has made it "easy on the eyes" for me. Hope someone can benefit from this as I have!
The trick for cc: in AutoCorrect is to use a ; or /
in front of cc in the replace box so Word will back up and change the cap to lowercase. It's a lot faster than AutoText.
;c expands to cc:
Can someone help with an internet trick...
If I was looking on the internet at something and saw an address to respond to, I could click on the email address and it would pop open a box in my yahoo and put the address right in the "compose" a message part of my yahoo mail.
A couple of days ago, this feature stopped working, and now I am cutting and pasting the email addresses off of the internet and pasting them into my yahoo mail.
Does anyone know how to get this feature back.
Thanks!
Get a Hiney Buster! That will do the trick! nm

That probably would do the trick. After I hit "post message," sm
that thought struck me. I'll try it. Thanks!
Turning the control off did the trick. sm
I don't even need the convertor now. The plug-in downloaded and my GP plays the dvf files just fine. Wow!!! I can't thank you enough.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!!
Hey, cool trick for log keeping. Can you tell us how you do it? :) nm

another trick of the trade for soundalikes
that's a good idea; but to avoid extra Keystrokes and loss of productivity by deleting the glossary def entry you could also make *mental associations* for soundalikes, e.g. dysphaGia pertains to the Gut vs. dysphaSia pertains to Speech; ILlicit is ILlegal vs. Elicit Evokes; ilEum pertains to Eating vs. ilIum pertains to sItting... well, you get the idea! =)
An accent trick that helps me...
After spending way too long trying to figure out an allergy one night that was pronounced as s/l fee-oh-REE-nul and which turned out to be Fiorinal, I started double-checking and realized that East Asian (India, Pakistan, etc.) and Arabic language dictators will often incorrectly accent the 3rd syllable if the word happens to naturally be accented on the 2nd syllable.
So when I have a problem with a word that's accented on the 3rd syllable, I'll re-emphasize it in my head, changing to hitting it hard on the 2nd, and that will often help. Or just playing around with emphasizing different syllables from how they're doing it. Now if I could only find a way to mentally blank out the 'trilling' (arrgh).
Chris is a boring one-trick pony. (nt)
Daisy Dukes and a plunging top ought to do the trick!

My trick for stopping expansions from expanding....SM
This might not work for you but I find it quicker to add it in my shortcuts. I simply add the last letter on it again when I don't want it to expand. For example, BP = blood pressure but BPP = blood pressure. COPD = chronic.... but COPDD = COPD. That's a lot faster for me than to do all those other steps. Just thought I would throw that out there in case it might work for someone else too.
A product called *Oops* might do the trick
It can be found at places like Sherwin Williams Paint. It seemed to get up all kinds of stuff when we built our house. Good luck!
I do the same thing for set my timer for 20 minutes, that 1 nap does the trick usually for the rest
of my day (if I happen to be working during the day). If I start nodding off late at night, I just go to bed and get up early if need be to finish up.
Rip-off, oldest trick in the book - pyramid scheme

Yeah, powdered milk supposedly does the trick - nm

Trick for keeping ants off picnic tables
I know you're asking about anywhere but when we would have picnics, we would use old tuna or catfood cans and wipe them all over, inside and out, with vegetable oil or mineral oil and then set the legs of the table in them. The ants couldn't climb the slippery outsides of the cans to get onto the table. It really worked.
You might try looking up the types of birds and beatles that eat ants and keeping a few natural predators around the flowerbeds.
I remember when I learned the keyboard-in-lap trick from a new graduate . . .
I was horrified to watch this 20 year in a reclining chair with the keyboard in her lap. I learned old school, of course: Sit up straight, elbows at side, blah blah. Well, it was immediate relief when I plopped that thing in my lap.
BTW, I never did get my invention off the ground - it was going to be a transcriber recliner, especially helpful for those with circulation problems. I wanted to retrofit a recliner so that the foot pedal could fit onto the footrest. Of course, being able to see the monitor might be an issue now that I wear bifocals!
It's a one-trick pony that requires us to sit on our butts on auto-pilot all day
Yeah, we do need to know terminology and how to use a computer to locate information, but every job has specifics that are required. How extensive is the knowledge we need if you think about it? We do the same thing every day, every month, every year like a hamster running in a wheel to nowhere.
Mine are so bad I get Kenalog injections throughout allergy season. Really does the trick for your e

8 cents versus 9 cents
Wait a minute....9/55 is to 8/65....would not 9/55 be significantly higher pay than 8/64 (spaces are not counted in either case)?
8 cents a line. Should be 10 cents for over 10 yrs exp but
b
per minute
I do approximately 15-20 minutes of dictation per hour and/or 150-200 lines per hour. So figure from there.
one minute, maybe? sm
I was fast already, so faster, not so sure that I could be much faster without compromising my own comfort level with quality, and I don't want to listen to my docs at a distorted speed rate.
I also have an Advant Prime clicky-kinda keyboard and am just as fast on it but prefer this Atech4 as it is quiet and has programmable keys.
hth!
Well, you had me for one minute there.
"Finally, if you love what you're doing, happy with your income and don't want anything to change - fine, get on with it and leave the sniping. It is only serving to make us suspicous of what the real bottom line is with you. Are you management? Are you American administrators of overseas transcription companies?"
Don't assume that just become someone expresses an opinion other than the original poster, they're management or American administrator of overseas transcription companies. Sometimes American workers need to think for themselves and other American workers will ask questions designed to make them think.
Otherwise, the rest of your post was well-thought out, although I would say that my impression from reading most of the nonsense about a strike, etc., was the intent was not to make the public or politicians aware of the situation with HIPAA violations but rather to make life difficult for employers, even to the point of risking patient care--neither of which should ever be consider humorous if you're trying to make a point in a responsible and professional manner.
GBP per minute
I missed this somewhere along the line. I saw an add on another site for a job that paid xxx per GBP. What does GBP mean?
By the minute
I'll bet the speediest speed demon dictators are those who are charged by the minute and pay their own bill! If only they were charged by the line and charged extra for fast talking, I'll bet they would slow down rather quickly!
cpl pay vs per minute
What is the opinion here on pay by line versus pay by the minute? Pros vs cons and why? I can figure out for myself that, for example if you are paid 10 cents a line for a 65 cpl and they say nothing but one sentence for 10 minutes and you listen to shuffling of papers you would be much better off by the minute. I am just curious here what the opinion is and why which one is better. After all these years of being an MT I know companies are always trying to figure out how to make money for them without passing on the rewards to the MT.
You spending 3K in gasoline to make 4K plus all that time on the road?That doesn't make sense Pat
