How long before the person asking if you "want flies with that" will be from another country?
I can also understand why someone would move to another country to work because of economic reasons. We're approaching a time where the cost of a gallon of gas may be higher than the hourly minimum wage.

We are quickly becoming ...
a Christian version of the Islamic Republic, where religion is an integral part of every aspect of life. I'm not sure what you are saying here. I would have no problem typing that if it was part of the dictation in a medical report, but I would find it very inappropriate if my employer said that or I was asked to participate. If I want to pray in public I'll go to church or an AA meeting.
what is this WE thing? this country is quickly
Run by a dictatorship, by religion and greed. WE are not rich. We live in a country run by the rich, who got that why taking money off of our labor. Look at India, divided between rich and poor. The rich have houses made of gold, the poor live off 15 dollars a month. Our dictators do not have gold houses but they have deep green pockets.
Learn a lesson quickly...
After 8 years of loyalty, I can tell you one thing for sure loyalty gets you no where.
QA editors adapt more quickly, but anyone can....
do VR if they are a decent MT. You're basically listening to the voice, making changes. If you know your stuff, you're fine, i.e. knowing the difference between "your" and "you're."
Get some liquid Benadryl in him quickly and
People can develop allgeries suddenly and for no apparent reason and it's much easier to deal with when you have your senses about you than wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of his gasping for air!
I did in the past, got burnt out very quickly. sm
It is very difficult to do. I lasted about 5 years working 16 hour days, and by that time I was exhausted, stressed out, and my financial issues never disappeared.
It really is not worth the money to do that to yourself in my humble opinion.
And editing 100% VR, we wil quickly lose
How to quickly number med lists?
What is the quickest way to number a medication list? We have to number all of a patient's medications in a vertical list (voice recognition). - very time consuming - slowing me down. Any MT's found a fast way to number medications and put in a straight list on left margin QUICKLY? This is ridiculous. The voice recognition correctly or incorrectly gives the medications, but it is very slow numbering them and putting them in a vertical list -and we are required to do that. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks. I thought it might be good when you needed to get through quickly. NM

I love mine, adjusted quickly.
But don't spill a latte in it...and the dishwasher trick doesn't work for it. I had to go out and buy a new one...and ergonomics are getting hard to find in my area!
Seek medical attention quickly.
It could be an allergic reaction.
I'd grab it quickly. W/o spaces you average about
15% less - so that is an excellent rate - good for you!!
No you can't survive on sex and chocolate but will die happy probably pretty quickly.
It would be a bummer to watch Johnny Dep get old and cranky anyway.
I am very real, thank you. I work quickly and efficiently. I know the terminology and when I come
across something I don't know I do my best to reference until I find it. If I absolutely cannot find it, I will send it to QA. The same goes with something I can't understand. I will listen several times and if I still can't understand it I send it on to QA for their help.
Tax guy told me because of nature of job and way computers outdate so quickly, could get new one

XX,, I promise you can double that typing speed quickly SM
then triple it, and eventually quadruple it with an Expander used right. You're doing something wrong, but I assure you once you know what it is you can correct it easily and immediately start seeing the benefits having your expander do much of the typing for you.
To begin with, though, most of your increased speed is going to come NOT from inserting blocks of text standard for one dictator but rather abbreviations for the individual words, phrases, and headings you're constantly typing anyway.
For instance, I type RPSV for "reports that." It wasn't hard to remember. Variations of "report" are used constantly, so RP became report, RPS reports, RPG reporting, RPD reported. V is "that." AO is "also" for me, and F is "he", so "he also reported that" becomes FAORPDV and "he also reports that" becomes FAORSV. This is the first time I've seen those on paper; you don't memorize the long forms, just string together the constantly used short ones. Amazingly quickly your fingers remember (muscle memory?) so you don't have think about it.
Smartype is probably not the best expander but fine to start on since you have it. Later on, better programs have conversion programs that will allow you to move your abbreviations to that program.
In the meantime, go to productivitytalk.com and start reading and asking questions. If you wish, you can import a whole ready-made dictionary compiled by an MT abbreviations.
But you could also take another tack for now just as a trial. Instead of trying to use Smartype's abbreviations, if that's what you're doing, enter just a handful of your own that you can get very familiar with. I love these that I use and am happy to pass them on to anyone who wishes to try them:
Make T expand to "the"
F expand to "he"
G expand to "him"
K expand to "she"
J expand to "her"
T expand to "the"
B to "but"
Q to "who"
R to "right"
L to "left"
F to "for"
D for "and"
That's more than enough for now. If you do this, I think in a couple of days you'll be loving how a quick tap of the finger drops in all these little words so much that you'll eventually become addicted to abbreviating everything in sight--and to watching your scores on your speed tests rise and rise and rise... Best wishes.
Did not know about the button at the top
My eyes usually do not go up there. I reported it too.
YUCK, YIKE. He or she is probably too cheap to put an ad in the paper.
Is there an OKAY button there?
I was thinking there was something you needed to do to verify changing the volume, speed, etc., before you closed that box but I can't remember for sure.

Autosum button
Is the autosum function part of Word?
Where is the JUMP TO button?
I no longer have the boards on the left either, and have tried all of the fixes suggested by MTStars. I did see a JUMP TO feature when I checked out a message posted on one of the state boards a couple of days ago, but it only allowed for jumping to another state. Would really like to be able to use this feature. TIA for any help!
Use the Load button.
Find the Load button in the toolbar, navigate to where the file is saved and load it into Express Scribe.
hit the "view" button

Pause button!
Sorry have to vent. Why is it doctors are completely incapable of using the pause button! I mean honestly and I quote. "Hold on, hold on just hold on one second" followed by mumbling to herself. "hold on for computer change, hold on for computer change, (insert 4-letter expletive beginning with the letter s) radiology isn't on this computer, hold on, hold on" and then switches sections entirely. And last but not least, "hold on I'll get you the length of time of dosage of the Vantin, started on 04/12/2008, 13, 14, 15 (insert same expletiive), 13, 14, 15,16, so for a total of 6 does of the Vantin." Bear in mind I'm also having to put up with a doctor who sounds like Fran Drescher with a head cold!!!! This doctor always does this I mean honestly I have better things to do with my time (like make money) then have a doctor have the audacity to tell me to hold on one second and listen to them curse!! Sorry had to get that off my chest.
Go to your "Start" button
on left bottom corner of screen > Open Menu for Programs > Shortcuts will be there to open the dictionaries.
There is a Print Screen Button..
at the top line of your keyboard. Press it and then go to your Windows paint and > Edit > Paste it there.

Do a Search from the "Start" button. sm
Do a search from the Start button. Click search, type in a phrase or name that is in your template, click on search documents or entire database. There is where to find it. You will see the search in progress and on the right-hand side, the files with that name or containing part of whatever you typed in, will be there.
I have a search button on my keyboard--sm
that will open the search task window without having to go through the desktop program. there is another way to access it with key functions, but I am not sure what exactly that is, as I have only found that by accident and I was not particularly watching what key codes I had put in. Perhaps someone else knows that. and perhaps you can assign a key combination to open that for you on your keyboard. sorry I couldn't be much more help.
on the toolbar, next to the Bold button
There should be a little box with a number in it and a little black arrow. If you click on the arrow, it will bring up a bunch of font sizes. I would pick 12 as it is a standard size for printing. Hope that helps.
there is a report message button .....
Just FYI from me, just another poster...
when you feel like reporting a post, and you are reading their post - at the almost top right is a button that says REPORT MESSAGE. This way, you merely report that particular message without having to post to the administrators/moderators here. I've been posting here for 4 years now....and they added that button a couple of years ago. You see the button when you are INSIDE someone's post reading it....
Just trying to help....have a GREAT day!!! 
You are hitting the Ctl button by accident..sm
happens to me too, until I figured out what I was doing.
what about the Report Message button..NM
Click the More button on the colors tab so you can
further customize the color in the right window.
Submit/save button
Hello out there all you knowledgable techie MTs.
My submit/save button is not working and I need any (easy) suggestions!
All suggestions appreciated as I am at a loss, having tried everything I know.
Thanks very much!
built in shelves, cute as a button!
Love it plus it is small with a built-in desk too!
Foot pedal keyboard button?
I have had trouble with my feet while working the foot pedal. One of the services I worked for had a button attached to their keyboard where they could use that to start and stop the dictation, instead of the footpedal. I know theirs was proprietary, and I couldn't get one from them, but I just wondered if there was something like that out there that could be purchased? Has anybody else heard of this.
Thanks MTStars for JUMP TO radio button! sm
Much appreciated!!!! Now we can just jump from board to board. 
Thanks so much. I see the hold, but don't understand the flash button. nm

I put mine on hold and hit the flash button

I held down the clear button and the screen
cleared, but the program button will not work still...no buttons do. Maybe in another day it will dry out, but I need to work today. :(
Thank you for the help though!
Is the mute button on your keyboard engaged?
You can tell if the volume is on mute by right clicking on the little volume icon at the bottom right hand of your screen, next to where the time is displayed. Click on "Open Volume Control" and make sure nothing is checked off in the little "mute" boxes. That's where I'd start first anyway...not that I have any first-hand experience in that particular matter 
electronically sign - just click the button
