and it seems to have worked. Now I just need to see if I can get Express Scribe to work for me. It has been a while since I have typed this way. Thanks again for your help.

So, bottom line is it is a fraudulent web site and viewing it may have exposed us to a virus?
dddd
The site tells me to change an index.html code to access. Dunno what that is??? nm

Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
19" with 17" viewing space....nm
viewing a WMA video file
Since I am working on Express Scribe, any E-mail I get with a video file, just goes straight to audio ... duh, I know there is an answer, but I am very IT challenged and was wondering if there was an easy fix to this one. Thanks, guys!
Maybe the size you are viewing the screen?
Maybe try changing the percentage the screen is viewed at....
"for your viewing pleasure"
My husband looked into things (I learned last night) and told me that what's there is recordings of actual college classes. No credit and you can't ask questions.

Problems viewing inside posts.
I've been viewing the Jobseeker's Board for a couple of weeks now but in the last few days, when I open a post, the inside text extends over the right and left sides. Posts that opened okay last week are now opening this way and it is impossible to see all the text. Is it just me? Does anyone know how to fix this?
To the others having problems viewing inside posts sm
I emailed as recommended and this morning the problem appears to be fixed. See for yourself. Yayyy!
Right, but I'm not even seeing any fine print available for viewing by the general public. Not a

I suggested it before. There should be one
test through that testing site, then they could archive our results. Companies could access the data as needed. It takes quite a bit of time to do each test for each company. 
Not sure where this was, but someone suggested here
that you contact the drug reps and see if they will help you. Most of them travel around to all of the clinics/doctors offices in the area and will know who is looking for workers... Again, not my idea, just thought it was a great one and am sharing it.
Ok, so have done what the first suggested but
how to clean the heads?
#2 in main menu - edit and then options of editing, viewing appear.
However, if it has been finalized, you will not be able to view it but only add addendum. Only if report is in draft is it able to be viewed.
Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

ME TOO! ROFL That's why I suggested it!!
Mom's know best, huh?! :)
you are the one who suggested shooting herself --sm
which seems more nit witty to me than asking what kind of flowers you like, in response to that dumb of a question. I have had two relatives take their own lives in the past six months, and one was by shooting themselves. I dont't take those kinds of remarks flippantly. Perhaps a better choice of words on your part would have elicited more empathy and helpfulness. I know computer problems can be stressful, but gees, what a solution that is! and I didn't call YOU any names.
Here is one somebody suggested. I haven't used it yet. (sm)

Two different doctors suggested it to me.
I tried it for a while but found myself slouching anyway. It is fun sometimes to sit and bounce or lean while typing. My office is just really small, so I had to put the ball in the living room when I wasn't using it. The kids would play with it. Really annoying because they're teenagers and their version of "playing" involves throwing the ball at each other across the room. I deflated the ball and it's in my closet.
I agree with the other poster who suggested
finding an hourly MT at home job. I worked at home for our local hospital during my first several years. There are still MTSOs and hospitals that hire people at an hourly rate at home. Good luck with it.
To those MTs who suggested the FTP (free) software SM
Thank you so much! DH downloaded it, installed it, and I am transferring files with no problems....something the IT department of this MTSO couldn't do in six weeks of haggling!!! So thanks to those of you who helped out - it was GREATLY appreciated!
I've suggested before that perhaps you all might come up with a day & time
that you could all meet up in chat every week. Why don't you all discuss it and let me know. I will make a post on what you decide.
What would be a late fee or percentage suggested?
I think your idea is excellent. Other companies do this. Why can't ICs? Of course we can. But how do you decide on the late fee amount? Certain percentage after a certain number of days. What is the usual company procedure on this? Does anyone know.
Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.
This is quite morbid, but it was suggested by a poster in another forum that
perhaps knowing the great loss of life that will occur among those who were unable to leave the city, the govt believes this is the easiest way to contain the bodies.
It is obvious the local govt and the residents never believed this would happen. Did you see the reporter on Fox interviewing people on Bourbon Street having hurricane parties and joking about being drowned?
My husband is an attorney and suggested the same thing to me once.

It definitely sounds more promising than MT but it does also sound like you'd be back to Square One with training/schooling.
It may be well worth it.
Best of luck whatever you decide!
Try bran flakes - vet suggested - worked for me (and my dog)
sorry. check out PTalk like the other poster suggested. nm

i'd check into the olympus as the other poster suggested. sm
it comes with the software to upload the dictation to office computer, most come with docking station, etc. then you'd need a program that would encrypt the files like hypersend or cryptext or something to that matter to return the work to them. you can also get efax for free and someone in the office can fax you the pt lists that comes into your email or fax, whichever you choose.
Friend suggested I type while listening to the news.

A while back I suggested we all write a letter to the editor about this . sm
I did, and they declined to print it. Evidently it's not a big issue in the minds of some. Individually we can't do anything about it. Perhaps collectively. We need a petition to go to ALL senators and representatives from our respective states, and none of this "anonymous" stuff, either.

change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
Your point was? You called me jealous and lazy, and suggested I work an 8 hour shift.
Now you're being "nice". I am NOT worried about others. Why would I want to work an 8 hour shift and produce 1000 lines if I could be missing SOMETHING and increase my production? How mean-spirited you are. I would LOVE to produce more and work less, so that I could spend more time with my loved ones. And to read on this forum the astonishing line counts most MTs are claiming to make regularly - well, I'm either doing some really, really wrong, which I would like to fix, or I'm not doing something that I need to be doing, which I would like to fix! Thus, my sincere question. Truly I believe it is time to leave this board, though I used to LOVE it so much, cause you just can't get an honest thread running anymore about anything - even trivial threads turn ugly by 2 to 3 posts, let alone INFORMATIVE ones like how honestly asking my fellow MTs who are huge producers HOW they do it? As in straight typing or using normals and standards? I try to hang on this board and stay "positive" despite the negatives, cause I really like it here and I really like the admin, etc, but I'm not a glutton for punishment. I know a lot of the old regular MTs who actually carried on intelligent conversations have gone to the board where you have to pay $$$ to post. Apparently, one can still have kind meaningful conversations over there - guess the $$ part weeds out the trolls? Don't know, but its sure sad. Please, don't misinterpret this as me thinking anyone would give a hoot if I left here - cause I know now there will be the normal "good - who gives a crap? good riddance" flames, but really, the MTs who are so trollish are just ruining it for themselves. Thus is their lot in life, though.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
Get out while you can. Things will *never* change unless you change them. (nt)
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have
Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board. Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things. Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money? We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.
Yes you need to change everything to
reflect GA as your residence. In my state you have 30 days to notify DMV of an address change. You don't have to be head of household to claim office expenses and can claim in GA if you meet the criteria needed for a home office.
From someone who has BTDT be sure you have a legal contract with your renters, even if family member and do a video of your house before you leave for your protection. Also you might want to look at getting some additional insurance. I had a trusted family member living in my house for a year, rent free in exchange for upkeep, and they practically destroyed the house, which is why I suggested the above.
I once had a QA from HS change BMI to PMI sm
This was in vital signs. The pt BMI was 35. She/he changed that to PMI.......
Anyone else have any QA mistakes they'd like to share?
DID MQ CHANGE THIS?
The very first QA notice I received when I started (January) was to double space at the end of a sentence. I felt like the biggest dummy for not knowing this. But, after viewing these posts, I guess it is not such a common knowledge thing. I NEVER, NEVER hear from MQ. I wonder if it is because I don't have their e-mail. I know they have my e-mail address, but NEVER hear from them. I wonder how many CHANGES I have missed?
change that from 375 to
365, but feels like 375.
Wonder if they will change
the offshore concerns board to the offshore board.
Actually no change at all...
just venting. Sorry to have gone on and on with being upset and angry all day and other family issues that have caused stress. I could state my personal life on here and all of my business dealings, but do you really need to hear every bit of a story? Should I recount every little detail about my work habits as an MT? Is that really necessary? Fine, I was crying and upset in the beginning thinking of ways to find work, what to do, then that turned to anger. Then that passed and I realized how businesses are run and that posting on a board and not editing my post and misspelling words and not using proper grammar (EMPLOYED AS AN IC) is just unfortunate I guess for me and I won't be posting on any boards any time soon. As far as the year of working as an IC (hope that sounds better for you) there were plenty of times when I made mistakes and yes, even the MTSO admitted to having made a mistake or two and overlooked a document and then paid me for it on the next check or found something she thought I hadn't turned it and I actually had and I covered for someone who was sick that day and did extra work and yes, I really made a few mistakes when I missed the TAT. I am not wanting to hear something terrible from anyone, like, yes, you should write a letter. I guess just a little venting and typing out loud and..wow, I hope things get better soon too. Don't worry, everyone, PLEASE don't worry!! I didn't do anything terrible, I didn't send a nasty e-mail to anyone, I didn't write a letter and I apologized again to the MTSO.
This is what I am saying. She isn't going to change.
I'd begin trying to drown her out with the stereo or a water fountain that is somewhat loud and runs all of the time. I'd not say anything at all but what you could do, in a kind way, is when you talk with her, say something to her that you overhead her saying and then mention that you didn't mean to be eaves dropping but that sound carries and it is impossible to not hear her. Keep it friendly. A neighbor who dislikes you makes life hell if they are the kind who act out.
Name change SM
They should change it to DEFUNCT
Does anybody change
just the first few reports to get the difference in price per line and just use the new rate figured to calculate for their font and margins?
In other words, if the difference is 2.4 cpl or whatever, you just add that to your rate and count lines with their font and margins without changing them each time. Would that be kosher?
I was wondering if you could make a macro to do it. Excellent idea!
Thanks everyone.
MY WAY TO CHANGE
If you have a "normal" set and you want to do another temporarily, you can add the font/pitch icons to your toolbar. I always leave them there anyway. Then you put your cursor at the top left of the document and click on the font and pitch you want and they will be good for the whole document, unless you bring in one from somewhere else (like Instant Text or another document) Be sure your default is set for any text you bring into documents to match the document you are on (the document you are on determines the font and pitch, etc.) Or, if it is a permanent thing you are doing, set up a template for it. You can set up in instant text too, if you save with the format on it.
