Spellcheck! I would NEVER turn in work without running it - sm

The benefit is it will catch things you don't. As for it underlining the words, just leave them and run the spell check, it is probably faster to do it that way (at least for me it is), and running it does not take more than 20 seconds generally unless you have a really long report. The few times I have had to re-do or paste in someone's report into mine for an addendum I have run into non-spellchecked reports, plain and simple they were not good.

How to Turn Off that Grating "Ding" at end of MS Word Spellcheck
Hi,
Does anyone know how to turn off that ding that sounds when you finish the spellcheck in Word? The only thing I found was in Tools-Options-General, there is a "Provide Feedback with Sound" box, but that is already unchecked in mine (to the "no sound" option), but still I get the ding.
Not a major issue, but still pretty annoying, especially when you need to turn the volume up to hear a soft dictator...then the ding can blow you out of the water!
Thanks,
Dave
I had to work without a spellcheck for a few weeks once.. .
We couldn't get it loaded onto my computer and it was miserable. I looked up everything because I was so worried about spelling something wrong. If you are paid on production, I would tell them no thanks! Even if you have good reference books, it will take up a lot of time. I hope they can figure out a way to get a spellcheck on your computer! Good luck!
Thanks. I'm sick that PRD may not work. Stedman's new spellcheck looks like it will
tell you I'M SICK OF COMPUTERS? Well, I'M SICK OF COMPUTERS!
Spellcheck is shift F9 in Meditech. SH should work also. nm

I would not work without my production software, including spellcheck sm
I think it's great that you were able to do this work in the conditions that you did. But times have changed and we have technology to make us more accurate and more productive, so why not use them??
I have several pieces of software that I use, and if I was offered a job that wouldn't allow me to use any one of them, I would flat out refuse it. i have found the combination that works best for me, and if they can't be flexible to get the best work out of me as possible, then I don't need to work for them!!
and they are running out of work
I have been switched accounts 3 times now, because mine keep running dry. Promises, promises.
Not running out of work
Actually there seems to be tons of work on the account I am on, but I just can't get my line count up. I know I am doing quality work, just not quantity, and would rather quit than be fired! It seems like for the first hour everything is great then every report I get is a different dictator. Just can't get the hang of their Ex-Text system fast enough either. At my other job, which is online based through FTP, I did about 300 lines/hour during my shift last night, so I am really not THAT slow :)
I did e-mail my resignation this morning but still have not heard back...At this point, I don't even want to finish in 2 weeks, Just want to be done wasting everyone's time.
Not running out of work.
The department is not running out of work at all. I am trained on a few other accounts as well with varying difficulty.
I will keep you updated. I'm sure if I am fired, I will be coming on here to vent, but hopefully that is never the case. I really like my job :)
5 accounts and running out of work
What's wrong is not on your end.
What's wrong is each of those 5 accounts having 17 people on each of them who have to switch back forth and maintain productivity.
Production and TAT improve if the MT is on one acount long enough to get a rhythm going.
There is also the problem of recognizing doctor's names. If 4 different doctors are mentioned in your report and you are on 5 different hospitals....well, you know where I'm going with this one.....
anyone running low on work at MQ today
At Spheris, if the work was running low
I would get an email from my supervisor stating such and telling us we could flex our time or use PTO. She was very much in communication with us at all times.
I personally think that the best communication between employer/supervisor and MT would be an email stating the workload is low, asking if you want to flex your time or use PTO and when do you want to make up your time so they can staff accordingly. Would be nice, huh?! :)
Keep running out of work. I think they overhired.

Anyone out there running low on work at Solutab Transcription?
ughhh
Ok, the deal with running out of work isn't because of mandatory OT, it's
It's the big thing that a bunch of companies are jumping on. Shameful.
Is anyone else having problems running out of work at Wordzxpressed besides me?
In general business're running slower than usual but running. NM

The worst problem with MQ is running people out of work all the time.
:
Will all the big nationals running us out of work and lower our wages what suggestion does anyone
have. This situation is getting extremely serious for people that need to make a living. What a shame.
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
Just turn it off and wait for the electricity to dissipate and then clean it and turn it back on. nm

Turn down such low low offers, turn industry around. sm
The way to figure is how many lines an hour do you do. There are 13 lines characters in a line (65 line length)
So say you TRY to average 4 pages an hour say 34 lines a page equal 139 lines, times your line rate.
139 X 4 cents a line = $5.56 an hour
and what if you don't do 4 pages even less.
MTing hourly hourly output is not very predictablel, so ya never know and predict what you can put out each hour.
THE WAY TO TURN THE INDUSTRY AROUND IS TO SPEAK UP, SAY 'NO' THAT IS TOO LOW AND GIVE SHORT EXAMPLE.
If the MTs continue to accept, that is what the going rate will continue to be. Yes, Yes, it will. Just keep looking. Email for general lowest to highest line rate prior to testing and resume, just say it saves time on both sides and it DOES. Why waste time. Soon, the message will get out there.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

spellcheck...
I can't end my document without running spellcheck. Yes, the incorrect spellings are underlined, but I don't always go back right then and correct them. But, when I end my document, spellcheck runs automatically. Even if it didn't, I'd run it just to be sure! Have a wonderful day!!!
Need help with spellcheck, please!
Does anyone know how to do this: When in Windows Explorer, when you select say five documents to open, to have them all spellchecked as they open? I have tried to find this information, but haven't been able to do so and have also tried to create a macro to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much and Happy Holidays!
I mean ALT S (not Alt-C) will be spellcheck hot key
nm
That is what your spellcheck is for. (nm)

Why do you need your spellcheck so BADLY?
spellcheck...
This makes sense, thank you.
new job - no medical spellcheck
Hi all ... yesterday I started a new job - hospital MT, decent pay, great location. But guess what - the program is so old there is no medical spellcheck in it! And the old lady that works the other shift, who's had the job for light years, does not use the AutoCorrect feature of MSWord! The boss told me feel free to use it (thank God) - but can you imagine that????? Any advice ?
Thanks guys!
oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm
.
Absolutely - a MUST to run spellcheck! nm

Maybe your spellcheck is outdated?
and theirs is not?
spellcheck in word
I am working on a VR system doing editing - however when I run the spellcheck anything that has been changed shows up with all of the incorrect letters wherever they happened to be along with the correct word or phrase that has been corrected. In other words if the word is not spelled correctly, I erase the word and type in the correct spelling, but in the spell check both show up. Does anyone know how to turn off this function or if there is a way to turn it off? It is driving me crazy - along with trying to learn to edit and the VR system. Other than that - all is fine with the program.
messes up spellcheck
Yes, it can. Been there. My spellcheck even on slow check was skipping everything.
They don't spellcheck? - not cool - sm
I briefly go over my work (try to proof as I type) before I send it in, but always spellcheck. If it is in Word it should come up with a big red underline so they should see they have it wrong. If they are so lazy that they cannot go back over their work 1 time, then yeah I would get rid of them. As suggested below, give them 30-days or whatever of probation and if they don't clean up their act (and work) then let them go.
if F-Lock key is on, then Alt C is spellcheck
nm
I had that keyboard and F7 was for spellcheck, but....
You can change your F10 for shorthand. I used to use the number pad because I didn't use it for numbers. You might try that. I think I just used the number 5.
Medical Spellcheck
Thank you, I did check there, and the strange thing is, the custom dictionary is there and I checked inside and it's the medical dictionary, but it's not working. I'm putting a call into the tech. I can't believe he didn't think to look there. Of course, I probably should have figured that out myself. LOL.
Sylvan spellcheck
Had a free 30-day(?) trial. Also bought Instant Text after resisting for many years. Now I love it. Worth every penny.
Spellcheck - meditech
It is shift F9
Spellcheck - Stedman's
We use Stedman's throughout our service and require it of all of our ICs as well.
Actually, spellcheck wouldn't catch it because
there, they're, and their are all correct spellings.
Here is a novel idea. Use your spellcheck software
begin with.
What is the best medical spellcheck software?
I am currently looking into medical spellcheck and medical dictionary. Does anybody have suggestions as to what is the best and most comprhensive?
Oh my, forgot to spellcheck, didn't I?!
silly me!!!!
MTStars spellcheck help - I just installed it and
do not see the "checkmark" button at the top with my other browser buttons. How do I access the spellcheck? It is installed and shows as a program on my list of programs. Help!!!!
spellcheck does not pick up preposition
There's PLENTY that spellcheck doesn't pick up - punctuation errors, possible omissions of prepositions and other words.....
So, if you strictly depend on Spellcheck - you're not ALL THERE!!! *lol*
I'd never leave anything 100 percent up to some machine or program/software/hardware, et al.
ExText - can it be set to not spellcheck demographics?
Every time I complete a report, spellchecker spellchecks the demographics section, which is not necessary. If you hit the wrong button, sometimes it will mess up the demographics on the report, although it doesn't tell you that you did anything wrong. Does anybody know if spellcheck can be set to only check the document and not the footer information?
Yes, because you do the jobs and they get sent off as soon as you spellcheck and the next one shows
s
type as said, and use spellcheck (sentence)
