Outrageous. I just forwarded to a local radio station in my area. Who else can we send this to?

Local radio station is giving away American Idol concer tickets. sm
They're running a contest for 2 free tickets. With the entry, you have to list what you would be willing to do in exchange for these tickets. The best/most original idea will win the tickets. Any suggestions? It has to be something the person would really be willing to do. I really want these tickets!!
I just emailed Glenn Beck. Also sent to local radio station and CBS news. Now sending to my senato

What program normally plays them for you?
If you do not have a transcription module to play digital files, Express Scribe is a free program that you can download, in which you can use a foot pedal or "hot keys" to control the dictation.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
The guy who plays Sawyer on Lost!
He is so hot.
the only part HIPAA plays is you do them but you don't say anything about them to anybody. I'v
done lots and lots of medical records for people I know, at least two people from church, some family members, plenty of acquaintenances. If they know me well, they sometimes ask if I got their record. It's the same way with nursing too, or any of the other healthcare fields. When I was a volunteer paramedic, obviously I ran into neighbors and friends on the job all the time. If you're a nurse and you run across someone you know in the ER, you don't refuse them care. You just are close-mouthed about it.
It plays in Windows Media but..
I first get a message that it is not a recognized extension.
Express Scribe plays .dss files for me. (nm)

Scribe plays dss files--need update sm
It sounds like you need to upgrade your version of Express Scribe. DSS files should play automatically. Download dss32.exe update here:

I just downloaded ES two days ago and it plays .dss just fine. sm
have her go to Settings, File Types, and make sure .dss is checked.
Express Scribe plays Chipmunks!
Hi,
I have used Express Scribe forever...just recently my .dvf files began playing Chipmunk style. My .dss and .wav files still play perfectly. It's just the .dvf that are giving me fits. Tried changing every ES setting and still no luck. I had one recommendation to do a system restore to the point before this began, but can't do that right now - too many new things added that I need and don't want to mess up. (actually, probably the instigator of this problem - either that or some Windows update!)
Has anyone else had this spontaneously occur and found a way to fix it? Crazy days, very frustrating.  Computers are a very necessary evil in my book!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciate.
thanks!
Technically, the software plays back the .wav file.
You use the pedal to control the functions of the software--play, rewind, fast forward, etc.
Yes, it should. As I recall, Express Scribe plays .dss files..sm
and that's what Olympus files usually are, but you can double check because some Olympus players also use .WMA files, I believe. Express Scribe plays nearly any file, but it should list on download website what all it will play.
GearPlayer 4 plays .sri files. That the latest version, and it is great! nm

I absolutely love GearPlayer 4, the newest version. It plays all files
and combine that with a good stereo headset, you'll be all set to go. I am able to hear so well all sorts of dictators. I cannot, and will not, work with Express Scribe, and I have found no other player as superior as GearPlayer. They have a free download you can trial it for 5 days and see if works in your platform/voice files, found at transcriptiongear.com
ARGH.. Have you gone to the gas station lately
or to the grocery store. Do you have a clue what your utilities are going to be this coming winter and WORK FOR LESS. YOU ARE BONKERS
It's slow everywhere right now. But, we have to man the station.

Lanier station
not sure where to post this, but I have a complete Lanier 219 station that I am going to sell. Any offers will be considered.
Went to the Prometric Testing Station
I took my CMT exam yesterday. It took almost 4 hours and was one of the hardest tests I've ever taken. The test gets all done and it just says that you've "passed" and will be getting your certificate and pin "in the mail." Couldn't they have the screen show a display of fireworks or flash "CMT, CMT...." at you.
And I really want to know what I scored. I know they can't give me the answers to particular questions because other people will be taking the test, but at least give me a number so I know if I'm really good or just okay. I'm obsessive that way I guess. I've been looking up everything I was unsure of, and I've only found one question I missed for sure, but I know there are stupid mistakes. And I know I'll be waking up at night in a cold sweat remembering something else I need to look up. Okay, I've finally gone nuts. 
Lanier Remote Station
Can anyone send me instructions on how to program an older Lanier remote transcription system? I think it is an LX-128? I just don't remember. I took my out of the closet to see if it works and have lost my instructions. Everything is all plugged in and works. HOwever, I get a double tone and not a dial tone. I remember having to program it but it has been sooooooo long ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Pumping gas at full service station sm
I did this to put myself through college for my associate's degree. It was horrible in the middle of winter - kept me focused on my studies however.
Call the news station in your location
who handles this sort of complaint. Once you contact the media, you will be paid immediately. Good Luck!!!
Go to the police station and they can look him up and tell you who is parole officer is. nm

I just did my part - sent it to nearby news station.

Philips Transcription Station and Vonage
Years ago, I used a Philips Digital Transcription Station to get my MT work. It would plug into my landline jack and then I could dial in to get the jobs to transcribe. This week, the machine has returned since I am trying to help out someone with their work. Unfortunately, I no longer have a landline. I switched to Vonage over the summer. When I try to connect, it dials the phone number, I hear the computer voice that tells me to enter my ID # and then when I do that it is supposed to validate my number and show me the available jobs. It starts the validating process but then times out and hangs me up. Has anyone had problems like this and if so have you been able to fix it.....help please!!!
Lanier station with Comcast Digital
I have used this for quite some time with no problems. I have also used a C-phone and Voice Solutions Digital Workstation with Comcast and it works just fine. The only thing you may have a problem with is having dictation cut out periodically or what sounds like "choppy" dictation (and this occurs VERY rarely) and all you have to do is disconnect the phone lines and power from the back of the device you are using, wait a few minutes and plug back in and it should work. Other than that, NO problems!
Voice Solutions DA-128 transcribe station help
Anyone know how to set the M1, M2, and M3 phone number memory buttons on this? Thanks!
Check your local police station, that'd be the place to look.
I bet they don't outsource that.....or do they? Interesting.
Lanier station w/Comcast digital voice
Will this work? A couple of years ago I tried a Lanier with Vonage and it didn't. I don't want to go through the setup trouble only to be disappointed again. I really need more minutes than my 5000 per month with Qwest. Has the technology changed to make the Lanier compatible with internet phone service? Thanks if you can help me. 
Need Lanier ExWriter to test. Will VDI station or C-phone work or can I rerecord?
I am unfamiliar with the Lanier ExWriter. Can somebody please fill me in? I have a C-phone, VDI station, a call-in system with L.E.E.C.H. capabilities that can download work onto my system from another, or rerecord equipment. Can you access files from call-in systems like you can with a regular telephone and C-phone? How is the sound quality? I am not to thrilled with the .dss or WAV files.
Thanks!
I have used a Digital Transcribe Station from Transcription Gear in lieu of a C phone just fine nm
music
I am a child of the 80's and felt like I couldn't be burdened with finding gigs. I am an accomplished pianist (A little rusty at 43) but I love music where there is only piano playing. Does DH like Elton John, Billy Joel, (ok - stretch -KC & JoJo's version of Lately), and Stevie Wonder. Nothing like a man and his piano.
Can't get into her music?
I don't know why not. Her and Mellancamp sound just as bad.
Aah, music...
 Taking a break. Listening to some tunes to relax. I think some other people should too. Anyone ever heard of Jill Scott or Erykah Badu? Common? 
Yay! Me too! MUSIC!
I agree with that, music makes my world so much brighter! I throw on some Stevie Wonder and I can't help but cheer up!
Music
Yep, I love the 50's-60's music. Makes me want to move.
music sm
I have a 5-disc CD changer that goes all day while I am working. All music types. I love it! Need the extra noise!
music
I like total quiet while transcribing. But if I'm doing some other kind of "busy" work in my office like filing or more of a data-entry-type job I can do mindlessly, I find that some classical, light jazz or easy-listening type music helps me be more productive.
What kind of music? nm

Music downloads
I have a music site with Burnlounge
http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss
and they are a legal dowload site :)
Music downloads
I have an online musicstore with Burnlounge at http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss and they are LEGAL to download from.
I would be very careful dowloading free music--they are fining people for this. If you aren't paying for it--then consider it illegal 
Music in the background
I have to turn on my music in the background. It is just distracting enough to force me to focus on my dictator..sounds crazy doesn't it?! That is for the boredom. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm not working and my mind is just drifting off. For the inconsistent income, I have a side income not involved in MT and when things get slow here, I just switch my focus to my other at-home business. Good luck to you!
No loud music at all. It is more sm
like soothing music you would get with yoga. A lot of people like Windsor Pilates. I personally did not care for them. I LOVE Denise Austin's pilates DVDs. I have a couple. One has a 30-minute workout and then I have one that is Hit the Spot in which the work outs are only 10 minutes. I will do one of the core or abdomen ones in the a.m. and then do a lower bod one later in the day.
Pilates do wonders for your strength, toning, flexibility. I have been doing them off and on for years. If I stop doing them for a few months and come back, I can tell the different in my flexibility and strength in just about 4 work outs. I do them about 3 times a week.
Instant Music
You might want to look into a product called Instant Music - its designed to convert cassette recordings to digital files and is very inexpensive.
Soothing music
We all have some dictators that we would like to strangle. However, I find it very helpful to play New Age or other soothing music in the background while I do transcription. Not loud enough to disturb but just there to soothe my nerves when these dictators upset me.
Absolutely must have music - sm
If you haven't tried it already, sign up for a free Pandora Radio account.
You can design your own stations based on their recommendations or create your own and have commercial free music all day long.
If I have a dictator who is a very quiet talker, I just click over and pause my radio station. You can also adjust the volume separate from your dictation, which is really nice. Low as you want, loud as you need! :)
I have three stations that I have created to suit my moods.
