I'm looking for a real good MT school or some sort of MT on the job training or willing to train a person to work out of home. Have been LVN since 1984 but now disable, need something to do out of home. Please reply, disability not enough income. Thanks!

Don't you know that you can DEACTIVATE your current OS when you upgrade to the next level?  Obviously not. But then, most people here don't seem to be all that computer literate. I asked a couple of computer questions below which got absolutely NO answer.

Don't go jumping to conclusions that someone is a "scammer" and "ruining it for everyone else" until you do your homework.

Meat Dip

Take a 16 oz. package of Velveta cheese and melt it in your crock pot.  Add to that one 16 oz. jar of salsa (I usually use mild, but you can use whatever you like) and 1 pound of browned ground beef.  Stir it all together and let it sit in the crock pot for five minutes or so just to make sure the salsa gets good and warm.

The best thing to eat it with is Tostitos Scoops.  I'm telling you it's addictive!!  I usually make it for family functions and take it in the crock pot and plug it in on warm when we get there.  In no time it's gone, so I've started making a double batch.

I don't think there is any hard and fast rule regarding this.  Your client obviously isn't BOS obsessed as "any" underscoring in a list is a no no.  If underscoring is an account specific rule, I personally would underscore the title only.  The easiest solution is to check some previous reports and just follow suit, or better yet .. ask.

You may want to get an Expander program like ShortHand or Instant Text. They allow you to use your short-cut list(s) in any application you type in, and you will never have to redo your list(s) when you change accounts or company platforms.

Your question raises the portability of abbreviation lists when you use different trascription platforms.

Each platform offers a utility where you can create your list of abbreviations, but you don't want to start over and over each time you change platforms.
The solution to this problem is that EITHER these platforms provide you with another utility that lets you convert your list to their format OR you invest in an Expander software like ShortHand or Instant Text that let you use your list practically on all platforms.
With Instant Text you can import your AutoCorrect with a few clicks and then you can use it with EMDAT or any other platform.
Your time is worth money. You may want to evaluate how much it is worth by calculating how much time it takes to redo your list.

Look at the model they used...that's sure what the average MT looks like!  LOL

The esp file can be saved as mentioned.
The next step is to make it work in Bayscribe. One solution is to use Instant Text and import your esp file. Once your Expander file is an Instant Text glossary, it is portable and you can use it on any MTSO transcription platform.

or ShortHand I believe, when you buy it, it gives you the option of what word Expander you want to use it with.  Unfortunately, I never did use it.  First of all, I couldn't get used to it and the rules with how to bring up a word.  I think it was something like if a word is 4 or more letters, use the first 2 letters to bring it up, and then another rule if the word is 5 or more letters, bring up the first and then last letter of the word...so on and so on.  I have found that I have my own way of shortcuts and can't use someone's else's method.  Now I just use Shorthand and auto text in Emdat, and that' s working for me.  It might work for you, just in order to get the full  benefit, you have to follow his rules for it, and that is where my mind couldn't go.
