Okay, let me get this straight.
So, Meredith, Star and now Eliabeth are all leaving? And you think Joy's going to put up with Rosie??!? Highly unlikely. Wow, I guess that's the end of the View as we know it. What a shame!
You got that right, straight and
pretty wordy reports. Just not showing up for a few seconds but also audio is jerking along, word....wor....d… word…wor…d
I have my facts straight.
Comments by people on message boards don't matter. It's the BBB complaints and lawsuits that back up my facts. Of course, people are going to say good things about a product or service in order to sell, sell, sell. It's called damage control.
Your going straight to hell.

Yep, STRAIGHT TO HELL...
I wouldn't stand near you in a lightning storm for anything. You are amazingly cruel, bordering on evil.

No straight answers
What is so hard about answering questions? sheesh
150 wpm straight typing.....sm
In high school 1st quarter typing I was doing 70 wpm, by the end of the 1st year of typing in high school I was at 100 wpm. At the end of the 2nd year of typing I was averaging 140 wpm.
They better get that description straight
Im sure that they made a mistake but that really is not helping on our self esteem. Maybe we could write our representatives to rectify the problem?
I don't as I know several straight male MTs...sm
just like I know some straight male nurses.
Would a straight line be the
or what is a straight line???

Can you fax straight from computer
Can you fax it straight from your computer so that you don't have to print and then put in fax machine? If not, how long does it take? My charge would depend on the time it takes you to do this and how many a day you fax over. Keep track of how many you do per month and see what you feel it is worth. If it just takes a couple of minutes and is only one or two per week, I would do a minimal charge but if it becomes more often or ends up taking more time, figure at a rate of $30 per hour and divide that into the time it takes to do one fax and charge that per fax.
I have faxed over some things and not charged anything as I can just fax from my computer and all I do is go to print and select fax, the page number, put in the number and send. So it is not that time comsuming for me. But if it were a daily thing, I would charge something.
gross/straight
what is the difference between the two when charging a physician. thank you for your help!
Are you asking for VR or straight typing?
VR will give you much higher line counts but not at 7-10 cpl.
Straight typing please (nm)

For those who have gone from straight typing to VR...
What sort of training did you get? What sorts of things did you wish you'd gotten for training? Thanks :-)
Get your facts straight
"This whole mess" as you put it started long before Clinton became president. Also, remember he was dealing with a Republican congress, which is where NAFTA originated. Reagan was the culprit - it was during his decade of greed that America put itself up for the highest bid - like a lady of the night.
I have straight typing in there as well
so that pay is higher and I have speed on fast forward. If you have the speed, probably can do the 3000 or better a day. I set the goal for myself at 3000 so I would bring home what I wanted every 2 weeks.
THAT sure sounds like it was straight out of
"I'm good enough, and I'm smart enough, and doggone it - people LIKE me!"
;)
Is this straight typing....
What exactly are you typing?
vr versus straight
I make more money doing straight typing as well. Boy, is this an offer from TTS in NH?
Get your facts straight
I cannot believe how ignorant some of the comments in this section are. Physicians from other countries go to medical school in their own country. When they come to the United States, they must pass a Foreign Medical Graduate examination. In addition, they must complete their residency here in the U.S. They also must pass the test to obtain their medical license in the state in which they wish to practice. You don't just go to a mediocre school in another country and then come here and set up practice.
This hourly is for doing straight QA, but you
have to transcribe if they need you to in an emergency, like usual companies. I don't know how much experience you need, I just took the test and I did so well they offered me the QA. But, I have done MT and QA in the past, and have lots of experience. You may as well take the test and give it a try, why not. Good luck!
Get your story straight...
You said above: Morally, especially the "f" word, I can't bring myself to even type it out.
Now you claim you were just asking the question because you were curious. Our point is, if it's part of the medical record you need to type it. As someone else said, if you are bothered by just typing the F word, does it also bother you to type abortions, etc.? You are in the wrong line of work if typing a word bothers you so much that you "can't bring yourself to type it".
The difference here is it came straight
xx
I do straight transcription.
I was just wondering about the reports I send to QA. They're making great money off me because I rarely have more than 1 blank and most of the time they can't get it either.

Are you doing SR or straight transcription?
Will that be entirely VR or any straight included?

You did not answer, do you also do straight
along with this? Did someone tell you about you could double or triple your line count?
Straight Talk manual
I had emailed you and asked you to contact me for information regarding a manual. You can download it at Dictaphone's website, but since it has been a week or two since I emailed you I can't remember exactly where on their website. I guess just do some looking around. I think it was in frequently asked questions or something like that.
Why don't you set the record straight Ms. AAMT?
Why are you sooooooo defensive?
Setting the record straight
You purchased an IN-155 foot pedal for compatiblility with DVI VoiceWav. (We have sold nearly 1,000 of these with zero returns.)
When you called our toll free 800 number for support we told you that the problem was not the pedal and was either the software you were using or your computer. Reluctantly, we agreed to do an exchange for you. (FYI, when your first pedal came back to us it worked absolutely perfectly and still does. In fact it is plugged into the same computer I am typing on at this moment. It has been tested daily since it came back with no problems).
Now, you voice incorrect information on MTStars. Your problem is in your computer.
Please feel free to call us yet again if this is not clear to you.

Try straight white vinegar. sm
I use it all the time. Of course, the smell is horrible but at least it is better than some of that stuff you buy in the store. I usually rinse it real well after and then dry everything.
no more itching - go straight to waxing - sm
and do not use the wax that is used for eyebrows - THERE IS A WAX THAT IS VERY GENTLE, NOT PAINFUL - FOR THAT AREA.
Isn't THAT pretty straight forward!?
He wants it on there because he wants the transcript to go out NOW!! Perhaps he doesn't have time to read it NOW but you can bet your sweet bippee they read ALL transcripts unless they all have photographic memories, and half these doctors don't even have the common sense to press pause on their digital recorders, so assuming they have photographic memories or just naturally remember what each and every patient's problem is and everything they did for the patient and said to the patient, well, it's a REAL long shot. USE YOUR HEAD. This is common sense!
I get 4 cpl for editing and between 8.4-10 for straight typing nm

Straight from the horse's mouth . . .
Snagged this straight from the Escription site. Hope it helps.
We have had success configuring both the Belkin USB/Serial Adaptor and the Dynex USB PDA/Serial Adaptor to work properly with a serial Foot Pedal and EditScript MT. Other adaptors may also work using this setup, however we cannot guarantee that they will.
- To set up the Belkin USB/Serial Adaptor:
- Install the USB/Serial adaptor per the instructions included with the device.
- After installation, open the Windows Device Manager:
- Right-Click on My Computer, choose Properties.
- From the Hardware tab, cick Device Manager.
- In the Device Manager window, click the + sign next to Ports (COM & LPT). You should see the USB/Serial Adaptor listed there with a COM port next to it.
- Right click on the Adaptor and choose Properties.
- From the Port Settings tab, click Advanced.
- From the COM Port Number drop-down, set the device to COM6. (Any COM device higher than COM4 should also work; be sure to remember what you set this to.)
- Click OK to close the Advanced window, then OK to close the Properties window.
- Close the Device Manager
- Now open EditScript and log in.
- Once you have logged in, click on the Options button in the EditScript toolbar:
- From the Foot Pedal tab, change the CommPort setting to COM6 (or whichever port it was set to above).
- Click OK to close the Options dialog.
Your Foot Pedal should now work properly through the Serial/USB adaptor.
Pretty much straight typing.

Getting paid only for STRAIGHT TYPING
My company set me up to work from home - - - I am new at this and confused and am need of imput from others in the field. Currently I get pain 8 cents per line. I have a quota of 7,000+ lines a week - -however the computer I have been set up with does not enable me to add programs (if I wanted to add a word expansion program) and, interestingly, the ability to set up macros in MS Word has been disabled.
With that said - - - For example, I will type a new consult on a patient that ends up being 4 pages in length. I want to "work smarter and not harder" (who doesn't) so I incorporate word Expanders that I have in MS Word Auto Text as well as an Auto Text "intial office visit" outline which includes the doctor's "normal" exam. All I have to do are make any necessary changes with each individual patient. We use a nationally known dictation program/softwear which enables me to go to a "statistics" screen to see the line count for each document I have typed. I have been finding, however, that on these 4 page consults, I am only being credited for 60 lines or so - - - aren't there 65 lines PER PAGE - - -why is it not 4 times that amount?? Looks like I am only getting paid for STRAIGHT TYPING, not for the total line count of the end product.
Let me see, VR versus straight, which is boring?
Hmmmmm, I don’t think so. I have had majority straight today and really do not like anymore- can fly when I have VR and make $$$$- straight only slows me down and like the bumper sticker I saw the other day- I am not speeding, I am qualifying! Loved that.
3000 VR and straight combined
with just straight 2000 per day and that was different accts but like the person below, using Expanders and loads of shorthand, cannot type without it. Just keep your mind on wanting a certain amount, that is my deal.
She says it's straight typing, expanders only,

Our pay at Medquist is 30% less than straight transcription. nm

Are you talking about straight transcribing?
Reading your post makes me wonder what has MTing to do with FAST TYPING?
It is all automated.
The peak automation makes your high line count.
I was very productive on straight and don't know where people
get this idea that only nonproductive people prefer VR. I was very fast on straight, still am but I happen to love VR, still have occasional straight. I totally disagree with you on this. I did over 2000 lines on straight but on my VR platform do around 3000 or better, never double and certainly not triple. I especially like because ESLs are much easier to edit than to straight type those now as we have so many more to do than in years past. People used to ask to see me type I would be so fast, clocked at 145 WPM and love, love VR.
I too do a big 'sigh' when I get a long straight
and I especially do a little "ugh" when I get an ESL on straight typing. ASR has been a blessing for those ESLs docs. I am amazed! Soon (in a few weeks), I will be going to 100% ASR with no more typing, and that day cannot get here soon enough...sick of typing after 13 years, ASR is a relief, and my job is going to get a whole lot easier...........and yes I make more with ASR than straight......and no I was not a slow typist to begin with....
Do you make $$ with VR or straight typing?
I am a slow typer so I was wondering if maybe I should be doing VR instead of straight typing. Any thoughts on this from anyone who is a slow typer?
Thanks
If I can't understand a word straight to QA that is what they get paid for.

I just don't see how it is possible to produce 3800+ straight typing in a day
I'm not saying you didn't. I just don't see HOW. I'm a pretty high producer myself, but I worked with a national once that didn't pay spaces and my line count dropped from 1700 lpd to 1100. How in the world do you manage 3800+ with no spaces?
