"When The Name Of The Game Is Saving Keystrokes" by Diana Rolland. You have to have a system. The book teaches you that.

Don't start just making them up randomly or you will go crazy. One thing I use is dividing word in half like nesc for nephrosclerosis, but, as stated, buy book.

Amazon has it for $65.

eScription won't work with MSWorks.
There's one on Amazon
that I was considering - begins with an S (lots of help I know) but it lights up (can turn off) so that should help you find it Sinetech?

Anyway the reviews are that it is very quiet and has a great touch - so it may be worth reviewing...

I'm going to order it soon - watch for my review ;)
$52 on amazon.com

There is one of these on Amazon right now for $84 - nm

Amazon
I bought books from them before, not for 1.79, but my medical concise dictionary by Stedman's was $10, that was pretty good to me.
Try Amazon
Amazon.com will let you listen to a portion of each track on a CD. I'm not sure if it's all CDs, but everything I have been interested in allowed this.



Be careful if you get an Amazon.
When they reach sexual maturity at about 3-4 years of age, they can become quite aggressive and attack their owners, often inflicting severe wounds. If you have children, an Amazon is not a good choice. Be mindful that any parrot you get will almost definitely outlive you. Also, please consider adopting from a rescue. There are many wonderful parrots out there in need of homes and it is a growing problem, as people don't realize what they're getting into. Having a parrot is like having a 2-year-old child forever, with all of the problems that come with it.
Question about Amazon
Do they have a search engine like Google? If so, is it better?
Amazon jungle...by myself...
was my first time out of the country. I traveled with a group from the local college but didn't take DH or anyone else I knew. Very empowering to travel independently, loads of fun. We zip-lined, cruised the rivers, found jaguar tracks, saw waterfalls and climbed 200 feet tall trees, danced with the natives...a total blast. The jungle is a lot like Wisconsin, actually...the mosquitos in Wisconsin are just as bad as the Amazon.
Look on Amazon or eBay.

They're available at Amazon.com.

Amazon has cheapest shipping (sm)
I tried transcriptiongear -- for what they wanted in shipping, I was able to buy an extra set of Sony headphones from Amazon plus pay for 2-day UPS shipping. Or try your local Radio Shack -- you can search their site online and see if something is in stock locally.
The Amazon one appears to be a current

edition and the CD that comes with it is an outdated spellchecker and not the dictionary on CD-ROM.  The Stedman's one is just the CD and they are always more than the book.  The have more detailed info on the CD.  I have an older version of the book and I think I've used it 2 times in 10 years.   When I update my Stedman's now I buy the CD and I might use it more if I had it on CD versus the book, though with their CDs now you can only install it twice.  They also have the book, but it is about $50.  


Check the classified board here and check half.com.  You can most likely find it cheaper at either place. 


Got mine on Amazon too. I've really liked it... will have to look around too then. nm

I purchased Office 2003 at Amazon.com.

The owner can sell on Ebay or Amazon, thus

can take the responsibility and offer a limited warranty that it performs properly.  Or can recondition the equipment.  Myself, I would not buy and Lanier is expensive.  A lot of job worksites want MTs to provide/purchase this expensive stuff, no way. 


Who knows if you will continue with the service and if not, you have equipment that only works with services that have that equipment.  Nope, not me, would not buy, would not sell the owners equipment.  It will come back to "you" and owner may not accept and remedy

I would suggest
giving them a call.  I would imagine they would hire PT whether they're advertising for PT or not.  I work PT but do as many or more lines than is required for FT.  I know they bend over backwards for me in every respect and I doubt I'm treated any differently than their other MTs.  I think you'll find them to be incredibly nice folks even AFTER you're hired!     And, believe it or not, they do know how to coordinate hiring and work flow so it's unlikely you'd ever run out of work, might be ASKED to work extra but that with more than adequate compensation IMHO.
I can suggest one

AT&T CallVantage. - You can make all LD calls (including with your dictation system) directly through your DSL line. I've never been billed more than $35/month (I think that includes taxes), and I'm on close to 10,000 minutes a month.


So how to you suggest they do it then?
Unfortunately they have to keep track of who is getting these cards and they have to make sure there is no fraud going on, so they have to make some stipulations.

I think it's a great effort regardless!
Can I suggest something?
Two lines of thinking, actually:

1) Please consult a behavior specialist. There is an underlying reason or reasons for his behavior. It's much healthier for him to find out the causes for his behavior and design a treatment plan and work for changes rather than to just cover them up by changing the environment.

2) Please consider going against what seems to be the attitude today: Everything made-to-order. What I mean is that children learn quickly what is acceptable and what isn't. If we constantly are taking our children out of normal social situations and putting them in "specialized", "personalized", "made-to-order" situations they will never learn how to cope and get along with others. They will also be robbed of the joy of learning community-mindedness. Not teaching them how to get along in life is hateful. Not easy skills to learn as a teen, as an adult.

Just my opinion. I faced behavioral problems with mine when they were young. I know how it feels. My best wishes for you.
I would suggest..
going to a psychiatrist. I also suffer from anxiety and depresson. I take a combination of Wellbutrin and Neurontin, and this seems to work very well. I have had a hard time finding any medicine that works for me. I still have episodes sometimes, but they could prescribe you Xanax for those in between momements. I don't take Xanax though, just the Neurontin for the anxiety.
What do you suggest

How much do you guys charge for a late fee when invoices aren't paid in time? 


My terms are invoicing the first of each month and payment due within ten days. 


I've decided to impose a late fee since I'm having a horrible time getting paid.  What do you recommend?  Thanks.


Thanks! What do you suggest then?

I would suggest
investing in the Stedman's Medical Terms and Phrases book. It is kind of spendy, but it sure is a nice comprehensive reference book. Definately worth it..
oh, i was going to suggest
carboplatin and Paclitaxel...?
May I suggest

Shortkeys2?  That's the program I have at my office (I do transcription for a major medical institution) and at home (home transcription on the side).  It works with most programs and platforms.  I've only had one or two programs so far that it wasn't compatible (AOL and GMAIL).


I would suggest
If at all possible, I would suggest you get a job working in-house, so that you can get paid by the hour. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I first started out, I don't know how many lines I typed per hour, but I worked 8 to 2, and I only transcribed about 18 to 25 reports a day.  My speed and comprehension built up slowly and it helped greatly having co-workers to help me.  I feel that the MTSO will take advantage of you in several ways and believe you will probably not make a decent living in the beginning. You have to learn the system you are working on, the physician's style of dictaton, etc.
I'd suggest...(sm)
...using "AA (Photography)" or "AA (Media Arts)" in order to show the relevance of the degree.
May I suggest --sm
Shorthand V10 as an expander? It works just like autotext, which is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted an expander. It works with almost all platforms, and has a free 30 day trial. There is also an option for paying at the end of the 30 days. To receive all upgrades, I chose to pay once a year, at 29.99! It is the best Expander I have ever used and for the price, it's a steal! good luck.
and i would suggest
Your response does not surprise me.  I would suggest you read between the lines in the entire thread that I wrote.  I did not CALL FOR anything.  I was simply making an observation and throwing some thought out there.  As far as my spelling of HIPAA...... I am not an MT, nor a typist, nor grammar specialist.  I am, however, a very very successful consultant in many areas.  My expertise has afforded me very nice wealth.  How about you????? 
I would suggest only if you need benefits.

I'd suggest it if you want a job when you come back. nm
 
You need to be upfront with them. What you suggest isn't right.
 
To begin with, I would suggest
Paying for your rent/mtg, food and utilities without fail first.

I ended up in BK 13 so I can't help you with a company name but this is what I learned, food and shelter come first.
I would suggest getting a 9 pin pedal

With the new systems, the problem is within the wiring that causese the incompatability.  I've tried a total of 5 different coverters/adapters (including Radio Shacks) that did not work with the 9 pin pedal to my new Dell.  I found one converter than even the inventer is unsure would work and costs about $30.  I have a 9 pin foot pedal that I would sell to you for about that same amount if you want it.


The only adapter that I found that does work is with converting a 15 serial port to USB with a product by Radio Shack with a game switch on it.  That is not a shelf item and has be to purchased through their web site.


I would suggest an inpatient
detox program if you are feeling really badly.  Your pain management physician or your primary care physican would be the best source for information.  Please call their office and let them know how you are feeling, they should be able to help get authorization for you to be admitted for inpatient detox.  Do not feel badly about this - OxyContin is a highly addictive medicaiton which should have been explained to you when it was first prescribed. Good Luck. 
It's not rude to suggest a job. (nt)

I suggest going to some place like Best Buy
that has lots of keyboards on display and try them out.  I have a keyboard that came with another computer that has a light touch, but you can't buy the keyboard separately.   I also have carpal tunnel and have had surgery twice.   What works for me is to use a pillow under the keyboard.  You can push your chair back a little, put your pillow on the edge of the desk or the edge of the keyboard try and then put your keyboard on top of the pillow.  It supports your wrists and arms and it makes you sit back in the chair, thus relieving back/shoulder strain.   My orthopod also recommended soaks, 15 minute cold, 15 minute hot, and then 15 cold again.  I also recommend wearing splint(s) at night because you may bend your wrists while sleeping and wearing a splint will prevent that, which will help the discomfort during the day.
