I'm looking for any recommendations for new speakers and headphones for my computer.  I'm starting a new account and the audio isn't all that great, I was just wondering if upgrading my speakers and headphones would make things better.

Thanx for any information.

their hospital clients are watching.  When there is no pool of MTs to get anymore when MQ has destroyed the competition and driven what is left of MTs to other sources of employment, well-------------------------maybe there won't be hospitals any more, who knows.  The way our country is going I guess we will have to be treating ourselves from over the internet, LOL. 

But, back to being serious, I see more and more hospitals advertising for MTs to work for their own individual institutions, and not using transcription companies. 

 I hope the pendulum is swinging back to hospitals having more control of their records. 

 Otherwise HOSPITALS are in for a big surprise.   Wasting Mi$$ions on MQ's and Philips "voice recognition" gadgetry is throwing good money after bad.  The "suits" have complicated creating a medical record so much, it's literally a joke. 

 But that's what big business does isn't it?  Get "suits" into a situation and have them try to make it a "profit making venture" out of it  - and pretty soon the whole job gets lost in the hubbub and all you have left is confusion and dollars flying around, and the product is an unattainable goal. 

Oh wait, but you will have a NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM that is supposed to do everything but wash dishes, and the suit will walk away with another of your $23million dollars.     

I noticed the last time I read stats from MQ on how many MTs they have it was (drum roll here)............10,000.  Remember when they crowed they had 13,000?

Was this "Frank's" plan when he took over?        Or are we all jumping ship because they are an intolerable place to get a pay check? You do the work and even then they want to renig on paying you for what you did.      NOW THAT's REAL CLASS, not. 

Do many of you fellow MTs use speakers while working or just plug your headphones into computer and work that way.  For the ones that do use speakers, is the dictation clearer or louder?  I have never used speakers before and wondered if I should.

TIA

Can anyone recommend quality speakers for difficult dictators?  I have my computer volume maxed out, as well as my headphones and I still need more volume with certain dictators who whisper.  Something with an EQ built in would be great for those mumblers too. 

Also, has anyone had experience with the Bose headphones? 

Anyone know of good headsets that provide clarity?  I am looking for that rather than volume.

I have also thought about just using good speakers (no headset), but I am wondering if it would cause more errors of sublte wording.  It seems like it would be better on the ears but not as good for hearing.

Input is appreciated.

Hi,

Does anyone have a particular brand name, other than Bose (much TOO expensive) of speakers that you use for you job.  I had good amplified speakers that you can wear a headset with, but 1 of them is no longer any good.  Warranty is over with.  Any suggestions?  Thanks 

Excellent idea!!!!!!  I love my Bose radio....it's the type without a CD changer...BUT! one of my cats, Kazie, a brat cat, sits on top of the radio and either turns the radio on, changes the time and a few times the alarm time, turns the volume upupupup (wonderful at 3 a.m.) and anything else that only a cat can do. Even with a book on top, she seems to know if she moves her weight around, she can do one or two of the above!!!      She's even tipped the bedside light over on me. All of this is because she's hungry and wants to eat NOW!!!! But, I love her.

change Islams into Christians?  That is just not going to happen, no more than you could change me into a Muslim!  No, he needed to go after Bin Laden, a friend of the shrub family, as you may or may not remember. Do you know that he stole away a bunch of Saudi Arabians out of the US the night of 9/11 or 9/12?  His buddies.  He had to go after somebody and was not going to be Bin Laden, so he thought, and he thought right, that the religious rightwing would accept getting Saddam out of the way. Now professing to want to bring Christianity and freedom to the Muslim world.  OMG, if that is not megalomania, I don't know what is!  

.. when you do the "right thing", even tho you want to pile all his stuff up, douse with gasoline, and throw the match!  Revenge can be sweet in the moment, whether in words or actions, but the regret lasts a looooong time, and it gives him something to throw back at you and your kids.  This way, you can be proud to hold your head up and just keep movin' on......
