Start/Stop
I had to buy this for a job but ended up loving it and even used it for a different job (a fairly large national) where they had their own wav player that was clunky and full of bugs and given to locking up. I was able to use the USB pedal I already had, so I didn't have to buy theirs, but they actually send you a CD and a booklet, so I believe you can install it as much as needed.
The feature I like is that you can program a pedal to insert a blank and a time code, which makes reviewing blanks ever so much easier.
start stop
try going to configure and uncheck variable speed it will play but you cant chnge speed
or try associate files with start stop under configure and check them all
Start/Stop
For those of you out there who have had a problem with this program skipping while trying to type and have to restart, etc., I have found that if you will load the Start/Stop program before Word, Excel, etc, you should not encounter this problem.
Start Stop pedal best
As far as I am concerned, Start Stop is the Cadillac of pedals. Costs a little more, but worth every penny of it.

I use the start-stop program too, and--sm
True Speech files are supposed to be compatible with it. When I get the error message that you speak of, there is usually no file at all associated with the job number. I suspect that is more the problem, than it not being able to be opened at all. There is nothing there to open. That happens sometimes with my docs when they are using a call in system and either get disconnected or hang up. Wherever you got the file from, just tell them there is no file there for that job number.
I have had the same problem with Start-Stop..sm
I used it with my lap top and it would keep playing. At times having to step on the foot pedal several times to make it stop. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to break it at times as I would get frustrated and really give it a good stomp at times LOL. I ordered a USB footpedal from another company and it works great even when I switched to Windows Vista the pedal works fine. I think it was just the pedal from Start Stop. Hope this helps.
Start Stop pedal
You may be on a platform that will not work with Start Stop, such as Dictaphone. Best way to get an answer, however, is to call the company. I have had a Start Stop pedal for 6 years and have always found them to be very helpful and their tech people usually get back to you within a day. Their 800# is (866) 254-0714 or you can go to their web site and E-mail them. http://www.startstop.com/home.asp Good luck.
Start/Stop pedal and USB hub
I'm having problems getting my Start/Stop pedal for EMDAT to work when it is plugged into the USB hub. It doesn't seem to recognize it correctly unless it is plugged directly into the computer. Any ideas? Thanks!
Stop-Start Foot pedal
I have a stop-start foot pedal and using Express scribe. When I take my foot off the pedal I would like it to just rewind a little bit instead of constantly having to hit the rewind pedal. Do anyone know the procedure/technique to get this to work???
Start/Stop Com Port settings
Have you played with the Com port setting under the Configure button? I have had to try mine in all 8 until I found the right one.
Start/Stop foot pedal
I want to know if anyone knows how to use the Start/Stop foot pedal with EMDAT (Inscribe). I think I may have an older moderl. Not sure. Thanks.
Start/Stop foot pedal
I have the same problem, probably because I have an older model with no switch on the bottom.
Bytescribe versus Start/Stop - which wav player is better? SM
I'm trying to decide which audio player software and pedal to purchase. I'm also looking at GearPlayer. I want something user friendly, universal to audio file types, and compatible with whatever service I end up with should I need to have my own software and equipment.
Thanks guys and gals!
I have Start Stop digital voice player--sm
and Spyware Doctor, as well. I have never had any conflicts between the two, and I really do not see why one would interfere with the other. although, I do not leave Spyware Doctor on all the time. I leave it off while I am working, as it did tend to slow things down a bit, but I never had any problems with it. I do run a nightly scan with Spyware Doctor though. I would be careful of other Spyware programs. I have had others that claim to remove spyware from your computer but actually do absolutely nothing. I believe the one I am thinking of is Spyware Eliminator, but I am not sure right off the top of my head. Good luck.

Emdat Start/Stop pedal trouble, Help!
I can't get my start/stop pedal to work right with Emdat. Anyone else have trouble getting their pedal to work right? It plays a little and then keeps starting over and quits. Help!
If you use a Start-Stop foot pedal, please SM - I have a problem/question
I use a Start-Stop foot pedal with a PS/2 connector for an Emdat account. I connect a PS/2 ergonomic keyboard to it, plug into the PC, and everything works beautifully.
The problem I have is this setup doesn't work using my laptop. The Start-Stop tech person told me the PS/2 foot pedal used with a USB adapter isn't compatible with the laptop. He said I need a USB-port Start-Stop foot pedal. He also said I would need to use the laptop keyboard since an external USB-port keyboard also isn't compatible with the Start-Stop foot pedal when used with a laptop. (I knew that my old PS/2 keyboard wouldn't work with the laptop and have already bought an MS 4000).
I really looked forward to getting my laptop set up so I could be more portable with my work, but after years of using an ergo keyboard there's just no way I would be productive using the laptop keyboard (not to mention the strain on my shoulders/wrists/hands).
So, here's my question.....Is there really no way to use a Start-Stop 3-pedal unit with USB connector on a laptop and at the same time use an external USB-port keyboard?
Any help is truly, truly appreciated.

Contact Start/Stop at their website and describe your pedal and ask them. They were very helpful

Start Stop foot pedal pre-programmed for EMDAT problems
I just got my foot pedal but have no idea how to get it to work with EMDAT Inscribe; much to my dismay a manual was not included with the pedal. Obviously, even though it was pre-programmed to work with EMDAT, I can't just plug it in and get to work. UGH!
Can anyone help me here. I'm a real computer dummy so I need to be walked through the steps as though I were a kid. BTW, my hot keys are F7 Play, F6 rewind, and F4 RR.
TIA
Start Stop digital player has a time stamp feature..sm...
I'm not sure if it puts it in Word or what it does. I've never needed it.
I think a program that would pull header information from Word and add it to a log file might be needed by quite a few MTs. I don't know if that's feasible since everyone's needs would be different. A lot of MTs like to keep logs though, myself included.
If I think of anything else I'll be back.
Start Stop voice file player and conflicts with Spyware Doctor
I was having problems with StartStop and talked to one of their techs this morning. One of the bugs it was having was fixed when I turned off Spyware Doctor so I need a new anti-spyware program.
I’m thinking of trying Spyware Blaster. I called to see if there were any conflicts with that one but had to leave a message. In the meantime, does anyone use StartStop voice file player and also use Spyware Doctor without any buggy conflict problems between the two softwares?
Gearplayer, Cyberplayer, ExpressScribe,Transcription Buddy, Stop/Start questions
When you work for yourself which voice player do you prefer? I have tried all of the above players and all of them seem to distort the voice when you slow it down. Why can't these players slow down files like the platforms MTSOs use?
RE: Using stop -start program, but cnanot get true speech files to play - any one with any ides it w
 would greatly appeciate any advice as to why the start stop program will place the vox files but not the true speech even Iafter I told to associat wiht true speech and so on... The time flickers like it wantt to open the file but it never opens.... THe the error comes up file is too smlal to be a valid sound file or missing file" Actually the start stop will place the Regan Speech sample audio that is a true speech file so I would think it could play true speech files
You can buy just the Start/Stop software w/o the pedal if you're able to use your pedal as a VEC
s
stop and full stop
that reminds me of a doctor who had his own very unique word for period...he called it a "perikat". All through the report...Perikat... perikat.... LOL
It IS ExText, Word is simply the word proccessor used. ExText is marketed
by Dictaphone with Transnet and ESP is the expansion software incorporated into it. I used this platform when I worked for the hospital. I believe Wordclient is the speech recognition portion of this platform.
Well then, don't start at the beginning, start in

Stop going to the doc, then! Oh, you NEED them though, huh?! LOL nm

I definitely want it to stop
I just don't want to lose my mother in the process. I put myself in her shoes. What would I do if my husband of 15 years was making advances at my daughter? I don't want to get too graphic with some of the things he's said, but definite harrassment. If I brought things to light, it would put her in an awful position, so I thought I could get it off my chest by telling another family member. We don't exactly have a warm loving relationship as it is, so this would be like the last nail in the coffin. I just want it to go away, so I stay away, but the guilt is awful.
Just stop already!
I agree - why get the boat rockin' again!
Yes, I think you should stop
doing this. Were you banned from this site and used the proxy4free.com thing to get back on?
Just Stop It . . .
Think of what people in the hurricanes went or are going through--NO THING is permanent--relationships with our loved ones are far more important.
If you have not made use of an item in a year and it is easily replaced, donate the item (if it is in good condition) to charity.
Irreplaceable, important, legal papers go into the safe deposit box. Keep a fire proof box with cash in it at home along with a disaster bag. Pay off credit cards and put cards in the safe deposit box. Keep the accounts open if needed for an emergency.
I always stop and say hello because SM
He's always reluctant to interrupt me, so I take the time to stop and say hello. :) I would say TRY not to get upset and just try it his way for a while.
just stop
you are SOOOOOOO catering to her, and i was glad to read you express that with your comment about the norman rockwell picture. yep, that is exactly what she is doing. It's ALL ABOUT THE WRAPPING and you and sibs are either paper or ribbon, whatever suits her whim. Either way, you are it's all about what you REPRESENT .... but her her eyes, it not -- repeat, not -- about YOU. wrap your mind around that thought and just decide you are not going to be one of the props she uses to stage her house for others -- the friends she invites to impress, via YOU! i know that deep down, you know this. so, just say no thanks, DO NOT give a reason, DO NOT give an explanation, just say you have other plans and let her wonder. be the man that you are. don't be a wuss. Enjoy!
STOP...STOP....STOP...trying to keep up
You cannot compare yourself to the people on this board. Do you mean you have only been doing transcription for eight months? If so, you're doing fine!! Eight months is not a lot of time. The speed with come with the experience. Just keep at it and use those auto keys! Give yourself another eight months, and you will be getting a little faster!! Good luck and let us know how you're doing in eight months!! :)
LOL, please stop
I think you should stop now. You s/m
obviously know nothing about how we are paid and how a 20-blank report can hold up our production. And most of us are paid less than an MT is making.
one way to stop it, is to let the sm
answering machine or voice mail pick up the call. Lots of folks do that. If you have caller ID especially, you don't have to deal with it. If they can't reach you, they can't ask you.
stop trashing
I get sick and tired of trashing companies. makes me sick. Did you do a good job for the company, did you meet your line requirements, did you have accuracy. Ask yourself those questions!
Stop teasing now.
Did you stop to think (for all upset with MQ):
that the letter was addressed to "MedQuist Transcriptionist", meaning ALL transcriptionists?
Did you stop to think about the fact that the new plan is a "Medical Transcriptionist and Medical Editor Rewards Plan", meaning ALL transcriptionists?
Did you stop to think about the fact that the letter is an announcement of upcoming information and specifically says "highlights of the plan include..." and so does not give all the details so you cannot draw any conclusions about it?
Did you stop to think that the pay rates, daily incentive, evening/night premium pay highlights in the letter are NOT defined as EMPLOYEE ONLY highlights?
Did you stop to think that there is no way in hell that someone like you can ever be satisfied by any company? That no matter what MQ or any other company does, you'll have a reason to b****? Did you stop to think that if you're so dang upset about being with MQ that you are not a prisoner there? Did you stop to think that there are other companies doing MT that you can work for? Did you stop to think that there are millions of other lines of work you can get into?
Did you stop to think, period? Obviously not. All you did was stop to gripe.
You're probably one of the gripes who are upset because they received a DEP discrepancy check! LOL
It doesn't matter if, after taxes, it is 1 cent or $1000, it doesn't matter if you still work for them or don't, it doesn't matter how long you worked for them or didn't ... if a discrepancy in pay is found THEY MUST CORRECT THAT and that is what they have done. No matter what, you're gonna gripe. If they owed you 2 cents, you'd gripe. If they pay you the 2 cents, you gripe. If they don't make changes in how things are run, you gripe. If they make changes, you gripe.
For cryin' outloud people...get the hell out if you're THAT suspicious and burned out! GET OUT! Who wants you anyway? It's embarassing how you people carry on. Are you grown ups or not? Can't you think for yourself? Do you make your own decisions or does someone else make them for you?
If this company is as bad and hateful and MT-hating as you say, well then you can pat yourself on the back because YOU have outdone MQ on the hatefulness and badness. Good job, kiddies! Good job!! Now you're officially as hateful as the company you're whining about! LOLOLOLOL
SHIP OUT OR SHUT UP.
Stop shouting, please.

stop looking in the mirror already
Nice mole!
stop labeling
Alcohol does NOT impair everyone. Every BODY handles liquor differently. Believe me, I know this for a fact. I can nurse a whiskey sour over an hour and be cold sober when I'm done. To the point I'm driving a car on the interstate, some idiot cuts me off, and I hit that brake on a dime. Believe me, I'm cold sober. You have to hear the flurry of words coming from my mouth (when I'm "under the influence" I love and forgive everybody).
Some can handle alcohol more than others. But, just because you have a "warm glow" or get a little giggly does not mean you can't do your desk job, and that includes MT. Maybe you can't, but I know for a fact that it can be done. I've seen the proof, right down to the last comma. And I'm not talking about SOAP notes. I'm talking about complex operative reports.
And to tell you the truth. I would feel more confident having somebody throw back a couple of drinks while at their desk doing MT than someone who has kids at their home who are misbehaving. Nobody should work under those conditions. I know I can't.
And don't confuse DRINKING with drinking. People who drink wine (the original poster) tend to sip it. It could take 1/2 to 1 hour to finish the entire glass. Plus, the alcohol content in wine does not compare to the alcohol content in, say, rum & coke or a whiskey sour. --- And if you want to get right down to it, if you drink a cup of regular coffee you're also under the influence of "a drug." It's called caffeine. Another drug ... sugar. Just give it to a hyperactive kid and watch what happens.
In the final analysis, we all have to accept or not accept what we are most comfortable with. I accept the finished product (the report), not what they did during the course of transcription.
If you can stop laughing for a sec...
Where are these "places where typing pays decent$$$" and "there are tons and tons of men," please? I've been in the working world for over 40 years and no matter what the job, men are going to be paid more, even if they are just standing the "Slow" sign on road construction. The only exceptions I know of are jobs where equity is demanded by law - such as state government and big corporations that are affected by the federal wage and labor laws.
Part of the reason are men paid more is because they think they deserve it and will not accept the same kind of treatment most women will take for the sake of a job. Also, men are more likely to be put into management and supervisor positions, despite their education and experience. It happens in nursing, customer service, any job that is predominantly female. There are probably a lot of reasons for that and I won't even go there.
The Comedy Stop !!
There's some funny stuff over there. It's good to have a comedic break now and then.
Pediatrician - what age to stop
I'm typing reports for 20-year-olds who are being hospitalized in Pediatrics and seen by pediatricians. Some of these patients are already parents themselves. I don't think I would want my 7-year-old in the same room as a 20-year-old with a baby of her own.
At any rate, does anyone know the age nowadays when pediatricians sent their pts to adult care providers? It used to at age 15 or 16, but that was eons ago.
Thanks! I'm just curious.
Did you ever stop to think that the reason you see...
some companies consistently looking for more MTs is because those companies are growing, taking on many new accounts and need more MTs?????
I totally agree with the other posters who have answered you thus far . . . do your own homework. There are many great companies *out there* and some that are not so great. Spend some time researching. Why should any of us invest time doing it for you if you aren't willing to put forth a bit of effort yourself!!?
There IS something we can do: stop accepting
