Hitting the numbers
I have to agree with Busy MT, Anon, and Endiqua. It doesn't matter how you arrive at verbatim as long as it is verbatim. I have a verbatim account typing op reports. I have set up a file with each doctor's name and a sample report, e.g., Dr. Smith, lap chole, appy, hernia repair. When Dr. Smith dictates, I cut and paste whatever procedure he is dictating into a new document and make any changes as he dictates. As someone said most doctors use the same phraseology in each report, making only minor changes during. For example, 5-0 nylon, instead of 5-0 nylon sutures. Just take out and add in without straight typing every single word. It's still verbatim. Using this system, my usual count is about 300-350 lph. I also use my expander extensively.
Obviously I am hitting a nerve somewhere
that you are taking offense to my posts. So which one is it, are you fat, ugly, have an acne problem or all of the above?
so I did what you said, I tried hitting cancel
and it the upgrade icon just sits on my taskbar......I will never get rid of it.....so I went back and disabled all updates....until tech tells me how to handle this....
thanks for helping though!!! *S* Much appreciated :)
It is just hitting the keyboard to put something in

Hitting the wall
Hi fellow MTs:
Just wanting opinions. I find some days, my fingers/brain are really "on" with transcribing, but then I have other days, where reaching my line count is a struggle. Obviously, I'd prefer to all "on" days and I'm wondering if any of you have suggestions on being "on" more than off.
Thanks in advance and happy typing!

Thanks to my fellow MT's for these suggestions. I'll have to try the classical music.
Have a great day!
Try hitting CONTROL and DOWN ARROW?NM

Try hitting the Alt + Shift buttons and see if that

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying by not hitting enter twice...Ty for your help! nm

You are hitting the Ctl button by accident..sm
happens to me too, until I figured out what I was doing.
I don't hate you at all. That's all I'm asking, is how you guys are hitting those high #s,
had never even thought of using VR for myself! That sounds really interesting...
If in MS Word, sometimes hitting the "Undo" arrow (sm)
above can make something you didn't want go away. I've also discovered that if you are working online, like in email for example, hitting "Control" and the "Z" key at the same time works just like "undo". It's especially helpful for when you've just typed a long email, are just about to sign off, and you hit the wrong key and it DISAPPEARS! If you immediately STOP, don't touch anything else, and then hit "Control-Z", if you're online it SHOULD come back! :)
This way works, too, but using the ;yo or ;py cuts down on hitting the spacebar

Something to the effect of what a (sm)
great job we do, etc. It was really more the tone than the actual words that were said. Ever have someone speak to you with such animosity that it kind of gives you a chill? That's what this was like.
I'm probably just being too sensitive about it, but it was hateful.
The answer IS Effect....
How something WILL "affect" you; this cough DID "effect" my lungs. Sorry, but graduated high school in 1964 back when people really cared about grammar!!!
AFFECT means to have an influence ON; EFFECT is the change that occurs!!!
You see, effect is something that is brought about by a "cause", that is the affect part; "The antibiotics were effective in treating the infections." Hope this helps. Also, it seems mostly in the medical field affect deals "mostly" with psychiatry and emotions. It does however, most certainly, have a place in "normal usage". 
affect v. effect
Effect is noun in the instance noted. Affect is a verb most of the time. Anything else?
Affect/effect
Affect can be a noun in psych - patient having a "flat affect" - no expression. Effect usually is used as an action word and in this case it is effecting a response or a cause.
effect or affect?
Here is a rule of thumb my boss taught me:
Affect - (a verb) "to change or alter".
Effect - ( a noun) "a result".
You will very rarely use "affect" in the context of a sentence, but it will come into play every once in a while.
WHEN is this supposed to go into effect?
I have not received letter.. Is this everyone or just employees or just IC ??? Specific info would be lovely
affect/effect
Affect can also be a noun, as in "patient's affect", effect can also be a verb as in "to effect a result".
your affect has an effect.
Does this person think that English usage doesn't matter in MT work? Some of the worst medical errors got that way by misuse of plain English words.
Affect/Effect
Effect is not always a noun, and affect is not always a verb. When you "effect" a change, effect becomes a verb. When someone has a flat "affect," affect becomes a noun.
Yes, effect is correct.

Effect (bring about)

Affect vs. effect
Hopefully this will help, although I guess everything is subject to interpretation:
AFFECT is a verb meaning "to influence" or "to pretend or imitate". EFFECT can be a noun OR a verb. As a noun, it means "result". As a verb it means "to produce a result".
In your particular sentence, it is being used as a verb...so which one to pick?
Without knowing the rest of the record, I would have to go with "effect" because I'm guessing (again..limited knowledge) that the doctor is indicating that if the bleeding doesn't stop, he has to do a hysterectomy. If the hysterectomy has already been done, or it is planned, than surely, further bleeding could "affect" the planned surgery or something that happened during the hysterectomy.
Without more information, it's a crap shoot!... I'm sure that was as clear as mud.

To clarify affect/effect, here is what a friend said:(emphasizing the first syllable and pronouncing it with a "long E"):
"I affect the Effect"
This really helped me.

Probably said that way for dramatic effect , sounds - sm
much more dramatic to say "went missing" as opposed to "has been missing".
I would worry more about the side effect
A man taking that killed himself and beat his wife up. My brother took it and got deeply depressed. He said he quit taking it. He also quit smoking off of it faster than on it. Thank goodness for him because he smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day. I'd say try something else and leave Chantix alone.
Affect is a verb, Effect is a noun, DUH

Affect is a verb and Effect is a noun, DUH nm

Definately affect/effect! Hate those!

I don't get the parentheses - supposed to be like an echo effect?

Caffeine and sugar had negative effect
My experience with trying to remain alert during 3rd shift: I was trying to perk myself up with caffeine and sugar, but also found that I actually became MORE tired as a result. Apparently, there's a biochemical explanation for this, due to the effect of caffeine and sugar on my insulin/blood sugar response. Both caffeine and sugar cause an initial rise in blood sugar, but then a serious slump in blood sugar occurs, causing me to be even more tired than before. So, I gave up the coffee and, after 3 days of withdrawal symptoms with horrendous headaches and fatigue, am having much more success staying awake during 3rd shift. I have also found that a protein drink or snack is a much better solution. Also, I am told that there are stimulants that do not affect the central nervous system as caffeine does, such as guarana, which I have not tried yet.
Also, it took me at least six weeks to adjust my body clock. I figured out that I had to sleep at the same time every day for several hours, at least 7, and couldn't just take a few naps during the day and then expect to stay awake at night.
The only reason I choose to work at night is because the pay is better; otherwise, I wouldn't do it. I look forward to someday having a decent account with a decent pay with a 24-hour turnaround time. I realize this is a fantasy.
It may take a few days for the full effect of the anes to wear off
I know it's hard, but give it some time. Call your vet and ask questions, express your concern. If it doesn't get better (which I think it will) you may want to speak with a veterinary neurologist.
Hugs to you both!
Unfortunately, NO. Didn't help me. It made me depressed. Reverse effect. nm

I believe this is an unfortunate side-effect of cyber-space.
No one needs to look someone in the eye and be accountable face to face for their actions. Being "on-line" is anonymous for the most part and being rude and nasty to someone has no consequence for the hurt it causes someone else.
Affect is an Action (or psych state)..Effect is a rEaction

Please! This is called progress and it was in effect long before Obama came into office.
Try being a freethinker for once and stop following whatever someone else tells you based on supposed "facts."
Ugly, physically repulsive people with nasty attitudes have that effect on me.
