speaker plug-in
I have a Dell and I had to invest in a set of Labtec speakers where you can plug the headphones directly into the speaker. I had already tried everything else and I just couldn't get enough volume out any other way. The speakers are available through TranscriptionGear.com, I believe and were quite reasonable.
Thanks. A different speaker helped--
Thanks so much. But, it is the sound quality from my company, it is just bad. They have the good system and then a bad system, is how I interpret it. When it is coming from the bad part, it is bad. That's what I think. Don't know, though. Changing speakers helped, and I did not think of that, so thanks so much.
A reason I used my speaker phone a lot.
The battery on my handset was continually dying because of the great lengths of time I was put on hold by virtually every business I called (I had a brand new battery!) Using the speaker phone does not wear down the battery.
Recently fixed that problem though - went back to a corded phone with a very long cord! And, since cordless phones won't work in a power outage, I don't have to dig around in the dark looking for a phone to use!
I understand people not liking the speaker phone though - when someone has me on one, I always ask them to take me off speaker and they always do.
DAC phone speaker question
I am currently using a DAC phone for a new account. It is brand new. I have plugged the headset in and yet, sound is still heard through the loudspeaker on the phone. I have hit every button on the phone and nothing seems to turn it off. Does anyone know I can keep the sound from being broadcasted? Thanks!
Transcribing by speaker or earplugs?
If by speaker, how in the world? But, if by headset, have you checked to see if there is a shortage in your headset? I have had that in the past, whether it be in the cord where it splits to L&R cords or in the ear plug portion itself. Have you checked to see if it plays that way on speakers outloud, with earplugs unplugged (assuming they plug into your speakers)? What about deleting and reloading the iType program?
headset/speaker/amplified help
My volume on the new computer is fine, but transnet volume is low with all controls at full volume. Best way to increase the volume? Do USB headsets have broader volume control? Thanks
VR is only as good as the speaker and software.
And how often is that really? If you happen to luck out and get a clear and good speaker, he or she will be yawning, chewing gum or food, speaking in a noisey environment, etc., etc., etc. Or the system will be throwing words in that were never spoken, leaving out many words that were spoken and changing correct words into really dumb stuff. VR is for the MTSO. They are the ones who really make the money on it.
Slow speaker does not equal big $$

Nevermind. Apparently, my speaker wire
came loose just a little bit from the computer and it caused this. You would think it would not work at all if that happened. Sorry!
It means grin-the speaker is grinning nm

I have heard that if a headset is used or a speaker phone--sm
this is what causes the static. again, this is just what I heard from my own coordinator when a hospital account was using her call in system and using headsets. It took alot to convince the doctors not to use them, and alot of reports with *holes* in them where the transcriptionists could not understand them due to the static. good luck.
Oh deary me! I was wondering when it was be the English speaker's fault. nm
Now you need 5 languages to visit your doctor...Spanish, Hindi...sheesh
Does anybody else hate to transcribe doctors who dictate on speaker phone? nm

Former AAMT motivational speaker, Dog the Bounty Hunter in hot water.
Personally, I never felt that AAMT made a very wise decision is getting Dog the Bounty Hunter as a "motivational" speaker at the convention in Hawaii. Frankly, I thought it was pure stupidity. A recovering drug addict who had done pretty heavy jail time, who later ended up in a Mexican prison, and now in hot water for making racial slurs, and telling his sons not to date black women is hardly what I would refer to as a motivation for anyone. I suspect his show will probably end up getting canceled though I couldn't watch it for more than 5 minutes anyway.
Oh, forgot to say all the phones ringing, overhead speaker blurting out pages, background talking
dictator's cell phones ringing, kids yelling from dictator being at home, machines in the ICU beeping off and on during the entire dictation, saws going from casts being removed nearby, and you can just imagine all the other noises such as nose blowing, sniffling, chomping on food while dictating, and on and on. EXSpeech doesn't like those noises, so the machine lets the MT"s transcribe those YUKKY reports all day long and all night long. Exspeech gets the good guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

Computer help, please - sm
I know this should be easy BUT, tell me how to find the version of Windows that I have. I can't find where it says this.
TIA.
New Computer?
I have only ever had Dell computers, but like you said, I'm tired of getting someone named Bobby, who can't speak English. I quit buying from them and went to my local computer place and had one built. Now, when I have a problem, I get someone who speaks English. IF you live in a big town, check around. I live in a small town and it was easy to find out what was what. I would still rather have a Dell, but I don't do anything off shore anymore. The price of a small place is not that much different than buying from the places you mentioned and is a lot less wear and tear on the nerves.
First computer
The first computer I ever used was a Rayethon (think that is the spelling) computer. It was enormous, took up my whole desk, LOL. Nothing like nowadays. Wonder whatever happened to Rayethon?
computer
I tried it and mine did the same as yours.
MQ computer
I got to use one of their computers free while I was training and continued until I was off probation. Then the fee started coming off my checks. But, the repeating theme seems to be all the offices are different.
computer
I have two HPs. I think I will do the same.
it's not the computer
You need a little stereo adaptor that you can buy from radio shack. It costs a few dollars. I'm presuming you have a a cord that connects into the computer. Okay, now, you plug the adaptor into the cord and your headset into the adaptor.
Voila!
Does you computer have enough
memory and disk space for an upgrade like this? The reason I wonder is once I upgraded my old computer and found that XP takes a lot of resources and the whole computer was bogged down and never worked right after that. Ended up buying a new one with XP already on it.
I think you can only do this on a computer with XP- sm
they did this so you could use the 98 programs on the computer with XP. I don't have either of your programs on my computer (use a physical book for the drugs and google) but I installed old Lotus, my Bytescribe, ShortHand, Quicken, various art programs, WP 5.1 DOS, can't remember them all but they all work fine. I have Stedman's spellchecker which was on my old 98, now on my XP, though I do upgrade that every couple years so that one is irrelevant.
oh, and I would use my own computer...sm
They would supply the transcription equipment.
probably better to buy a computer...
fro0m a place that sells computers, rather than an MTSO. That way if you need to move on, no problems.
Use of Computer
It doesn't bother me at all. The only person who uses my computer on occasion is my daughter for school work or to look up things on the internet She has to ask first though and never goes anywhere near where my files for work are kept (she wouldn't even know how to find them). It helps that my husband doesn't know anything about computers or the internet so he's never a problem.
I would never let anyone come near my computer
much less use it!! That's the one thing I have that is mine!
New Computer
Hi Everyone! I am lucky enough to finally buy a new computer, but am not very knowledgeable and so am stumped about what to buy. I have a Pentium III now, very ancient, and just want to get rid of dial-up Internet and burn CDs. Any hints??? Thanks!!!
computer help
Okay, I will try this a second time, hopefully I will get this to post. This is just an idea of how un-computer-savvy I am and will be showing my ignorance. I always worked in house until I got laid off. Now I am working at home, using company provided software. I stumbled upon a web site for freelance work, not medical. I would like to try it to supplement my work. My question is, if I got an assignment, would I just go into their website and go from there, do I need to get my own software for this sort of thing, any help would be appreciated. I am an old dog now trying to learn new tricks!
My PCP uses the computer to
keep track of everything going on including labs and such. He can push a button and the labs are in his "grill". I would much rather it be that way than have to wait for a faxed copy. My PCP is great, and he still listens. He just uses this as a way to expedite script writing, etc. There are also hospitals that allow physicians to access their database, so it is not really far off. I think it was actually Hillary Clinton (who may run for president) that would like EHR to be universal, but I think it is more for consistency and to make patient access easier for specialists to follow and the such, etc., etc.
Computer
A computer is deductible. Spend as much as you think you need to spend to get the computer you need.
Do you know where it is on the computer?
If you can find the specific file on the computer, probably the easiest would be to highlight it and then right-click on it. Delete should be among the options. That would send it to the Recycle Bin, so to delete it for good you'd have to empty the bin.
Did that help?
could you not set up FTP on your computer? sm
i worked for someone before that had an FTP on their computer. all i did was put in their FTP address into the web address bar online and went into their system of course with passwords, etc. then i was able to access whichever folders they gave me permission to access. you could just let the entire office that needs it know the passwords to get in and pick up the work. like have a completed files folder in there or something. i think winXP has its own FTP built in, not sure though.
looking for a computer
new/used, windows XP, pentium III or ?, word 2002/2003, Stedman Speller. Helpful suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
You can always get a new computer..sm..
later and another job later. Without your health, you have nothing. I vote take care of your health and your son. Yes, you'll have to count pennies, but like I said, without your health you have nothing. What happens to your son if something happens to you? He'll really be without then.
I would have run from computer with that one!

COMPUTER HELP
Has anyone ever had their icons disappear from their desktop? If so, how did you retrieve them? Thanks
computer
can you go back to the main screen and left click anywhere on the page to get to properties and then click on settings?
Does anyone besides you use computer?

Where could I get the most computer for my SM
buck. I'm thinking we are going to buy a new computer with part of our tax return (our current one is 6+ years old) and am wondering what you all suggest? I'm hoping to stay around $600.
It would mainly be used for work, cruising the internet, watching DVDs (maybe...not totally necessary). MAYBE I'll be adventurous this year and try to get a little account of my own :)
So, what do you all recommend I consider buying?
Chickadee
No. Each computer is different, but
I have an HP that I can do a repair, without having to do a complete reinstall.
Don't know what your issue is, but maybe you can just to a system restore.
Perhaps you should be off the computer and in bed

No need to buy a new computer......
just install a serial port on you computer and buy an adapter with a 9-pin plug for the serial port.
computer
I just bought a new computer from Dell in May and was able to get it with XP Pro in it. You have to build the computer from scratch with it in it, but I have found XP to be better to work in than Vista. You might have to dig around in the website to do it, but it can be done. I have an inspiron 530s that does what I need and then some along with the XP. Had it in less than a 10 days and just turned it on and started working.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
One computer
for all accounts. I'm just set up with different VPN and programs for each account.
