The USB adaptor does the same thing the card does, you don't need

the card if you have the USB adaptor. The adaptor just plugs into an available USB port and you load the software and if there is an open WiFi signal you're in business. Sprint and Verizon both have a wireless broadband service, but coverage is limited. They both have an air card, but again coverage is limited. If your friend is stopping at truck stops a lot of them have wireless and if not wireless some other type of service. I don't know if the service is free, if it is free you don't need to get another service, you just use theirs. They may charge a minimal fee though. When I was traveling I tried to get dial-up in a truck stop and never could get it to work.
You could get a data plan through your cell phone provided, but again coverage is limited.

Bank debt/check card? Same thing?
Is the prepaid visa card the same as a bank debt or check card?
Oddly enough, if I don't use my bank card as a credit card in the billing cycle, I get charged fo

Debit card. They've got the credit card logo on them, so they
can be used anywhere a credit card can be used.
I used to send a card and gift card to my direct supervisor, but that's it. sm
She was the only one who knew me as more than an employee number, and the only one I had any respect for.
No, I don't there is any adaptor, at least...
I never found one, but sometimes when you are told a particular software only works with a 9-pin, that isn't necessarily correct. I had a pedal with a USB connector but bought a 9-pin to work with TSP. Later, I used the 9-pin with software that required a USB connected pedal. It shouldn't have worked, but it did. Before you buy a 9-pin, I'd try the other one first . . .
adaptor
Radio shack has an adapter, but they should have told you to get the same pedal version with a USB - would have saved time. Also Execuscribe had great trans materials very inexpensive - same quality and name brands.
I had to have a 9 pin with adaptor s/m
My computer only has USB ports. Was told Escription only works with 9 pin. Bought the adaptor at Radioshack.
What adaptor do you use?
I would LOVE to be able to use my laptop sometimes.
you can get an adaptor or sm
you can get a USB Expander to allow you make one USB port into about 4.
You know, they have an adaptor for that
You didn't need to go through all of that trouble. I despise Dictaphone headphones and I bought an adapter (the same one you bought) and then used my regular headphones with another small adapter (I forget what it is called) to make both sides work.
Where did you find the 9 to USB adaptor?
Did it have a game port switch on it? I've been looking and cannot find one with a game port switch on it.
Wireless USB adaptor
Okay, I think I understand what you and closet are saying. The wireless USB adaptor has the card built in or has the slot that allows you to plug in the wireless broadband card? Next problem, is there a nationwide wireless broadband service provider that covers every state or are they divided up into regions like Sprint, Verizon, etc.? Thank you "me" and thank you also closettechie.
yes...RadioShack has an adaptor, but--sm
I have said this before and I will say it again...it does NOT work with all footpedals. I tried the same thing and it all depends on how the footpedal is wired, particularly the three pedal type. The adaptor does not compensate for that. All it does is allow you to plug in USB port. you may be able to play the file, but fast forward and/or reverse will probably not work. I had to buy a USB pedal, which they provided at a reduced cost for me because my 15 pin was only 3 months old. JMO. but good luck.
C-phone adaptor
Hello, does anybody know if there is an adaptor out there that will turn my C-phone with the little phone jack end into USB? Thanks!
Is it possible to use a 9-pin or USB adaptor with Transnet
Starting IC job and need to have own foot pedal. I have an infinity pedal with a 9-pin but not sure if it will work with Transnet with or without adaptor. Does anyone know?
Foot Pedal Adaptor??
I need a USB foot pedal. I already have a serial adaptor. Is there such thing as an adaptor or do I have to buy a new one?
Thanks!
I bought a USB to serial adaptor at Best Buy
my job requires the 9 pin serial foot pedal and I got the adaptor for about $40 I think, and it works great.
Telephone Record Adaptor
You might want to look into getting a telephone record adaptor that plugs into your laptop sound card. Also would require audio capture software but then the files would be recorded onto your computer and from there you could transcribe them.
The adaptor is sold on ebay and
through their website at www.tvps.com. Cost around $22 shipped from ebay. It works good, but the prongs are a slightly loose fit in the plug; I'm not sure if that's a problem with the adaptor or the plug itself. Nonetheless, I'm able to use my better quality headphones. I believe the company that sells these also offers a 60 day warranty on the item when it's purchased. :)
or a usb adaptor for your desktop keyboard. NM

12 pin Sony foot pedal, adaptor?
I use it with a Sony micro dictator/transcriber but I'm finally jumping into the 21st century. Anyone know if I can find a USB adaptor for such a foot pedal or will I need to invest in a new foot pedal? If so, where should I get one? I'd like to buy one locally, or do I need to but it online?
Thanks!
Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
Any info on converting a dictaphone 2-prong headset adaptor? I need to find a noise cancelling head
If anyone knows where I can find this, please let me know. thanks
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

card
Riversongs and angelrays are the best...but they are free.
2,000 debit card
When your boss gives you your paycheck, do they ask what are you going to do with that money? Didnt think so. Same thing for the people of the gulf coast. They lost their jobs, their homes. The money they will be given will be in lieu of a paycheck till they can find another job and home. Its a paycheck from the govt.
Ethernet card
If your connection to the internet is through a cable connection, then you have an Ethernet card. If it is dial up, you may not have one. Look at the back of your PC, and if you have a plug for a cable connection (it is slightly bigger than a phone plug), then you have an ethernet card. Hope this helps. You can also go into MY Computer and check there too.
find a new card....
or, as long as your payments have been on time, call them and let them know you will move your business, and most of the time, they will lower it. Check your FICO score...if it's good, you can call the shots if they want your business. All have that little clause now that says even if you are even 1 day late on ANY other bills, i.e, utilities, dept store, anything, they can charge up to 36% interest on your remaining paymnents. Read the very small print.
Nothing but a card in the mail...sm
Do ya think it would have broke the company to have slipped a little something into that card? McDonald's $5.00 gift certificate; anything to show a little appreciation.
I've been thinking about it because there's not a lot of suits to pay; 1 owner. Now that I think about it some more, I'm thinking the owner might be Jewish, and not celebrate Christmas. But then why even send the card? And why not call it "appreciation during the holidays" instead of a Christmas gift? I duuno. The supervisors actually are MTs; I would have thought they would have brought it up during their weekly huddle. "what are we going to do for the MTs for the holidays?"
I thought about it some more and maybe only being with the company for 2-1/2 months might have something to do with not getting even a token. Oh well.
YES. We had an IBM selectric with mag card
and we thought it was great! HAHAHAHA
wireless card
thanks for the info. When I call today, I will mention what you said. Maybe I will just go to one of the local Super stores and see if they can set me up with a inout deal, if not i really am going to move if it does not work-eeks
Credit card? I'm not sure either.
NM
does anyone have a prescription card that
isn't through their insurance company? like rxdrugcard, pharamacistrxcard, etc. i was considering getting one to cover the meds that insurance doesn't cover or pays very little on. any info is greatly appreciated
Debit card use
I know the credit card companies charge the place of business a fee or percentage when you use your credit card but does anyone know if it costs them every time you use a debit card, does the business pay a fee? Our apartment complex just offered the option of automatic checking account deduction because they said it costs them less than credit/debit.
debit card
Usually my purchases show up right away, unless its a holiday weekend and I use the debit card like a credit card instead; then its usually the next business day before those purchases show up. However, if I use it like a regular debit card, holiday or not the purchases show right away.
And if you got a $10 card you'd gripe, too. It's all you know

Anyone use a PC card for their work
I use a wireless card from Sprint and I am not that close to a tower. I checked with Verizon and their coverage does not seem to be as broad as Spint. I have no problems with downloading work, but do have a bit of a time lag when uploading work.
I would definitely suggest checking though with your IT department if you work for a national. I occasionally work for another service, and I when I download reports for them, I have to rely on dial up.
Hope this helps
I use a Verizon card
when traveling. I have the Nationwide package, $60 a month unlimited. In heavily populated areas, it is almost as quick as my DSL at home, but even in low population areas it is still better than dial-up. I've traveled from coast to coast (mostly along I-80) and only lost signal in the usual remote places (certain stretches of Wyoming or in heavy tree coverage). You might want to buy a card from whoever has the best cell signals in your area.
Rx drug card
I have one that's only $4.95 a month, and it's fabulous!! When I first applied for it online, I had 3 prescriptions waiting for me that were close to $60, but I paid less than $20 for them because the card was active within an hour after I ordered it!!
If you have a sound card..(sm)
you should have excellent quality. If the sound card is within your computer, you should hook the ear phones directly up to the computer. If not, you can install an external sound card and plug your ear phones into that. I have the external and have absolutely wonderful sound quality. On my lap tap I have an internal sound card and, again, have wonderful sound quality. I have speakers, but don't use them. If I unplug my ear phones, the speakers work, but I honestly can't say the last time I did that. I always use my ear phones.
My cat just stepped on my keyboard...Now I have two of them sitting right in front of me. Lovely, I guess they want my attention.
My daughter made it to the state tournament for softball All-Stars and we are headed up to the high country in the cool 80s. We will be out of this 115 degree weather for a week. Yippeee! That is something I love about Arizona. You just have a couple-hour drive and you are up in the cool mountain air.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
calling card
I used mine when I was out of town, and my minutes started as soon as I was connected to the dictation system. I diconnected in between reports when I proofread. It was cumbersome to do that, but saved some of my minutes.
Verizon air card
More info please. My husband and I are planning to do a lot of traveling and have been questioning the same things. I know we can leach off a signal if we are close enough to a wireless place such as a hotel, but what if we are up in the mountains or on a beach in the middle of nowhere? 
sound card
Thanks so much - great ideas!
Did anyone ever have a video card go bad and what does it cause when this happens. nm

wireless card
Well there are a LOT of factors - you may be a ways down the road from the nearest cell tower, which is one of the reasons that you only get one bar on your cell phone. I mentioned the "new wireless card" as a POSSIBLE alternative to those MTs who live in a rural area and cannot get a DSL or cable connection or satellite is not a viable option and are also utilizing a desktop computer. Until recently, the wireless cards were only feasible if you had a laptop computer, so I was just informing people that this might be another option. Sorry you have such bad cell phone service -- this is not an option for everyone but as I mentioned a POSSIBLE option with possible being the keyword
air card usage
Great that Sprint offers that. I do know on my account with Verizon there is unlimited usage, unlimited area. So I guess as well it goes to show that different companies offer different packages and most likely for different areas, depending on competition. Hope you find one that suits you, but make sure that you get the name, ID# , etc. of every person you talk to. Makes it a lot easier if you have to go back for whatever reason to them. Also, Verizon offers an antenna that you can hook to a window with suction cups, etc., so be sure to ask whoever you talk to if they offer any accessories at the time of sign up and if they can throw those in for free.
I don't know if you mean WiFi or the air card.
The air card lets you connect to the internet provided there is service available in the area. Just like cell service if there is no service it doesn't work.
WiFi works in the same way, if there is a network available within range you can connect to it, but unless it is an open hotspot you have to have a password to connect to it. Most computers now come WiFi compatible. If you have an older computer you can get a WiFi card that slides into a slot on your laptop. They range in price from about $40 up to $100+ and can be found at any computer store, or a store like Best Buy or Circuit City.
air card Sprint or AT&T?
i looked at verizon and don't think i want that one. I was going to go through Sprint/Nextel, but then noticed that AT&T has a network as well. any advice?
Would never cut my card list sm
I look forward to my cards and read them again at the end of the season. I hang them across a door on a string and down the sides. If someone cuts me off their list, especially if I know they can afford it, I think it's very insulting. I also love a little message as to how things are going but hate those "newsletter" type notices at how "well" they are doing, enough of that aleady - just a card and a little handwritten note to add that extra pizazz to lighten up your life. I understand some may have no choice, then a phone call would be nice explaining how they cut out cards this year but didn't want to forget us at Christmas, that I would completely understand. IMHO
what usb/card type is best
I'm looking at AT&T and Verizon's line of "air cards" and other USB gadgets to do this wireless connection. Do you have a particular brand or plan that you would recommend?
