Oh please. I forgot the "are". If I had known this was a typing test instead of a post

You got the meaning anyway, which is why you got so sensitive and tried to change the subject.

Not a medical typing test but this website can test you..

I can't pass a typing test, LOL. I am so
used to using an Expander that I can't even type a sentence without a mistake in it.

Question about typing test
and how do I figure out words per minute with one.
Is there some website that can give this information to me. I have never done this before so trying to figure it it out. I was told to find something for her to type and then give her a 5 minute typing test for an H&P. Does that sound too long, too short or about average. All or any help would be appreciated.
Typing test, Terms
They may give you a typing test or a medical terminology test. Just brush up on your skills and know your stuff, just like any job.
By the way, I had to pass a written and typing test to get a job
with a national and I must have passed both parts. I have been with the same company now for five years and they must be pleased with my work. I don't hear any complaints from them. I'm certainly glad that they were willing to give me a chance to prove my handiwork because it is really very pretty.
typing test preparation question
Will be applying at a local university hospital for a transcription job. Applied there last year, did not pass the typing test. Am determined to pass it this year - (requesting an ergonomic keyboard which I am used to, instead of testing on what they gave me). Question: They say one must pass a 10 minute typing test accurately transcribing 1437 characters. As I recall the transcription itself was not difficult, it was just using their keyboard that slowed me down. So besides requesting another one, how can I best practice for this? How can I determine how to judge that amount of characters for practice? Thanks for any advice. I am an experienced Transcriptionist with 5+ years.
Calculating errors in a typing test
Can someone tell me how to calculate the errors in a typing test per the lines they type and how fast they type. I need to learn how to do this as I may have to give some typing tests where I work and I am not sure how to go about this. Any help would be appreciated. Or if you can tell me where on the internet I can find this information, that also would work.
Thanks
looks like u forgot to post the website
t
I forgot to include that in my post here.
I have already written my letter & in the beginning of it there is a brief outline & I included that & then I go on to talk about stuff in detail & I mention that in it as well. I hope you guys join me in doing this & can get some letters to me. I feel we can make a bigger impact if we all stick together & by sending a packet of a bunch of letters maybe our voices will be heard & something be done.
Follow-up on post - had my 2nd HCG test today..sm
Well 2 days ago my levels were 154 - today dropped to 153. My OB/GYN thinks I am miscarrying, which I am sure I am too. No pain though, just still spotting. I asked her what if my levels went up by Monday, she said it is possible, but NOT REALLY....I don't guess there is anyone out there that had their levels drop then raise back up? I know it sounds crazy. I do, however, honestly understand and believe that I am miscarrying. But I really would like to thank each one of you who gave me encouragement from the previous post. I know God only puts on us what we can handle and even though I don't know the reason now, God has a reason and plan for everything in our lives. Thank you for all of your support!
Saw post today about meeting typing
These can be horrific. The problem is not the typing--if you could straight type you'd be able to calculate it closely. These recordings require you to set up some way to identify the speakers in maybe a QA format. The challenge is to pick out voices, which normally groups who want this stuff transcribed want that done. You may have to code the speakers if you weren't given their names. And, it's maybe not that tough if it's one person moderating and calling responders by name--you can maybe get a good flow that way, but the roughest is when they "open the panel" for questions or cross-talk. I have done these and believe me it's nothing like MT. If I ever do these again I'm going with my hourly rate--I've found most larger companies don't really care what you quote, they need to get it done and this is very hard work. And, I never had an easy time getting other transcriptionists to help out. Tough, tough. But, some people make a good living typing focus groups, meetings, etc. Just have to find the format and not do it for charity. My thoughts. Best of luck to you. By the way, I've always tried to fool myself into thinking I can type 1 hour of recording in less than 3 hours--hardly ever.
Yeah I think the Amen chick who Amens her own post forgot coffee
You don't get it. Funny!
Oops! meant letters "are fading"
Hey, what can I say... 4:45 a.m. Been up all night... shift just about to end in about an hour or so.
That should read "are pregnancy women..." And I'll be over around 6 for dinner. I love Lob

It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs. It's over $90. That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT. The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country.
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB
Hope I could help
Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test
Don't think that has to do with the knee. How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee? Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee.
happens quite often i would test again or go see your GYN for blood test which is more accurate

What you "should" be paid and what you "are" paid
sadly are two very different things. Good luck on demanding more..because someone else will just come along and take it for what they offer and they know it. 
Typing. This is NOT typing, it is transcribing. There is a BIG difference. sm
Transcription includes typing, but so much more.
Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm

you also need to know the animals that you broker. I grew up on a farm so I broker mostly farm animals but have done dogs, cats, birds, etc. You'd be surprised at the "pets" I've been asked to locate, some I had to get on the net and do a crash study.

For anxiety you can minimize the stress if possible or learn to better manage it. I have insurance so I am on medication and just started counseling this time around as I am dealing with a lot right now. Do research if you think that may be it and try to help yourself by teaching yourself stress relievers or taking time for yourself to help until you can get insurance or doctor opinion.

I forgot the most important thing. Learn to recognize what is important, what can wait, and what cannot. Dirty dishes, can wait. Laundry, can way. Cleaning house, can wait - unfortunately it will be there when you get done doing life. Doing life - those are the things that you only get one shot at. Got to the football game even if you have to stay up until 2 a.m. to get your work done. Go to the partk on a pretty day even if your house is a disaster area. Play in the rain with your children even if you want them to stay clean. They will not remember how many times you washed their clothes or mopped the floor; they will remember looking and seeing your face as they slide down the slide; they will be able to tell other people how many times you have played outside with them. When we do life, we pass a legacy on that nothing can break. When we do house work, if just has to be done again.
I hope this encourages you. Remember, you will not always get it right, but as long as you learn to say "I'm sorry" and do not quit, you will always be a hero to your children. I know. My 2 kids are now in college and I can see the results.
If you need someone to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, I am willing.

this is used if you have ShortHand as your expander....use "yo" as your keyword and then type the above entry in the "text to type box"
Forgot a few - sm
Alt+S = Stops audio
Alt+W = Plays current word
Alt+shift+W = plays next word
Alt+F2 = Decreases audio playback speed 5% each time key combo is pressed.
Ctrl+F2 - Increased audio playback 5%.
You can probably get these appendices at Dictaphone Corp website. If not, let me know if you need more help. I have the Correction Editor Manual and a list of all of the Quick Keys.
Forgot that one! (sm)
I never watched it when it was on but I got hooked on the reruns. How many years was that show on? It seems like I hadn't seen enough when they were showing reruns of the reruns I had already seen. That is a good one.
Oh, more I forgot!
I loved Sisters. And remember Once and Again. I loved that!
Forgot one!!!...
Sooner or Later with Rex Smith and Denise Miller from 1978 or 1979. Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers this movie. All the big hair (guys and girls!), short, short jogging shorts with knee high socks (on the guys!) and the jeans so tight it is a wonder they could sit down! Love that movie!
I forgot about that sm
I vaguely remember that movie. I loved Rex Smith. Had my hair cut like his. Soooo cute.

The version I have does have dosages. I would not buy the book, just the CD. I hardly ever crack open a book anymore as it takes literally seconds to hunt for a drug or word in the CD versions. Save your money there :)I did a search on the internet and you guys are referring to the same program I am so I'm not sure why yours isn't working for you like mine is working for me, unless it's the version that is causing the problems?

The new girls in our office got their jobs because the school called and asked if they could extern for six weeks - they did not get paid. Then we hired them.

I did contact CityAudio by email and they sent a reply saying that they would be happy to call me in regards to their product. Sounds good. Thanks again MT!

When I play the speakers out loud, without the headset plugged in there are no problems at all. The speakers play just perfect. Thanks.

this is where you can work using ICs to your advantage. Just as they are not obligated to do the work, you are not obligated to use them. Usually, when they see less work coming, they either get it together or move on. And the latter is for the best if they miss TATs repeatedly, which puts your client relationships in jeopardy. Again...JMO and experience.
BTW, my approaches may sound inflexible, but I must be doing something right; I have a waiting list of experienced MTs, including former colleagues, who want to work with me. And all my clients but two are by client referral.

I forgot to say that we never run low on work.
It is not bad for everyone. I get a little tired of hearing the same tirade over and over. If you are so unhappy with where your field is headed, just move on.
