all the time for work but keep it hardwired all the time at home.  You can get wireless routers that allow you to hardwire your computer but allow you set up wireless for the rest of the house.  I chose to use a laptop so I could pick up if I have to, which I've had to do for family situations.  The wireless routers will guide you through the setup, just be sure you get it locked down well on security and don't skip any steps.  I believe it's the WPA security you need to have, not WEP.  You'd be amazed at all the wireless networks in homes around here that are not secured and could be hacked if they only knew.  I can turn my wireless on and see exactly if they are protected or not, but I always keep my wireless transmission on my computer turned off at home and as I said hardwired to the router.  I'm including a link for JiWire here that has a lot of useful information about exactly how hackers can get into your computer at a lot of WiFi Hotspots. They may provide the WiFi for you but no guarantees about security at all sometimes.  Anyone can get a WiFi hotspot set up and there are some out there that are pure scams, so if you're hooking up to WiFi you need to be sure who it is.

I have tried the Sprint Mobile Broadband card awhile back, I think you can get USB cards now too and even routers for it to set up at home.  The card itself was free at that time with promotion and charge would be like around $60 a month. I had 30 days to test it out and take it back if it didn't work where I needed it to, which is at my mother's.  They couldn't tell me exactly what kind of service I would get in the area I was asking about so said take it out for a trial run, which I did.  It worked great along the interstate and major highways and was I think even faster than my regular internet a couple of large cities, but it didn't work at my mom's, which is only 4 miles off the interstate, although it worked well enough not far from there, so really variable, but they said they are improving and adding new towers, etc. all the time, and I might give it a try again in a few months.  I really need to be able to go to her place at times and not many options for internet around there.  Hope this helps a little.  My DH has both Verizon and Sprint Mobile Broadband cards because he's on the road a lot for work and because sometimes one will work in an area and not the other.

I'm wondering if this is possible instead of having to install everything on my laptop to work remotely.  It would be nice if I could hook up to my home PC with my laptop and am wondering if there is a program that would allow me to do so or do I have to re-install everything on my laptop to work remotely.

I have auto corrects, medical spell check, medical dictionary, etc., that I would need on both computers.

TIA

with decent experience as a Transcriptionist and a decent amount of shortcuts in an Expander program, I think maybe an average for acute care lines per hour might be about 125 on a new account with ESL.  So take your requirement and divide by that...and you might be typing 40 hours or so in order to get 5000 lines in.  Depending on work, experience, how long you've been doing that account, if you're getting paid for spaces, and your expanders, it could be anywhere between that and up to or beyond 225 lines per hour pretty much.  

Wireless keyboard and mouse; wireless pedal in the form of a Playstation wireless controller, although I am sure that only works with Express Scribe.  You can buy wireless headphones, but I have not invested in them as of yet.  Being wireless, I have found it very comfortable to work in my recliner chair. I can even put my feet up while using the joystick on the Playstation controler to play the sound.  My ergo keyboard fits in my lap, which some may find a litte weird, but I am total comfortable without any aches, pains, numbness, fatigue. Mouse goes on the arm of the chair (works only with opitcal mouse, no wheel).  Works for me.  Good luck!!!!

i just got a very nice, widescreen laptop for work. I have medical issues and could not withstand working at my desk any longer. People are telling me that it won't last for MT work becuase the keyboard is not durable enough. Well, i still use my ergo keyboard hooked up and i only use the laptop keyboard for work when I am completing my work for about 2 to 3 hours at night. My question is, has any of you ever had a laptop keyboard go bad with MT work?

I hope not, took me years to even afford this one. :)

Yes, the keypad in the laptop is not designed for typing work and it is VERY costly if need to be changed.  So, you can hook up an USB keyboard and optical mouse with your laptop's USB port.

I am going to get a laptop/notebook in about a month and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for one that seems to work well with transcription.  I need to know specifics like hard drive, RAM, memory, model number, etc.  Thanks in advance

I am not real computer literate but am wondering if I couldn't get unlimited Internet with a cell phone plan and use that for my on-line job/Internet connection exclusively. I have found plans for around $70/month.

If so, I was thinking too I could possibly give up my land line phone, Callwave, my dial-up ISP (as that is all we have available where live) and actually save a little money by doing so. I don't make/receive a lot of land line calls and I have a TracFone cell phone that I don't use much now. I get excellent reception with that where I live. We have a huge tower within walking distance of where I live but we live out in the "sticks". :D I know my connection would be dependent on the reception where I live and the cell phone service I would use. I am not sure which one truly has the best coverage and/or who may be using the tower by our home but TracFone apparently does. :)

TIA. 

When you program the foot pedal, you need to program it as 3 foot pedals..one for back, one for play and one for forward.

open express scribe

go to settings

pedal drop down and choose 3
