How do you do the time stamp on escription? nm
nm
Leadfeather, no time stamp here. So leave
x
I guess I don't understand the purpose of a time stamp
being put throughout a document? Can someone explain why this would be needed?
Start Stop digital player has a time stamp feature..sm...
I'm not sure if it puts it in Word or what it does. I've never needed it.
I think a program that would pull header information from Word and add it to a log file might be needed by quite a few MTs. I don't know if that's feasible since everyone's needs would be different. A lot of MTs like to keep logs though, myself included.
If I think of anything else I'll be back.
How insulting, I wonder which national he is with, SM
I remember someone saying MQ's CEO called MTs "trained monkeys", but this article didn't specify which company.
I'm not suprised by any of this BTW.
Have to post this because I think its both funny AND insulting - sm
This was posted on GURU.com - it's a job up for bidding. But read carefully and look at all the EXPECTATIONS this person has .... for $20/audio hour.
Description:
I am looking for several Document Production Specialists to start ASAP.
Requirements:
* At least two years of transcription experience
* Excellent spelling, grammar, punctuation
* Extensive vocabulary
* Medical, legal, and general business terminology
* Ability to research
* Excellent listening and comprehension skills
* Detail oriented
* Ability to follow simple instructions
* "Just do it" attitude
* Professional attitude, communication skills and work habits
* Express Scribe software and foot pedal
* Microsoft Word
* Committed to providing a quality work product
Let me emphasize that this is not a simple typing job. If you have
fast and accurate typing skills, good, but that's not enough. I have
extremely high standards and you must be able to meet these high standards.
***If you cannot complete one hour of transcription and provide a
PERFECT transcript within 24 hours, please do not bid.***
It is very important that you be able to work without advance notice
and without distractions. If you cannot do this, please do not bid.
It is also very important that you be able to take the ball and run
with it and not ask a lot of questions. If you need a lot of
hand-holding, please do not bid.
If you get frustrated easily and cannot handle challenging
transcription work, DO NOT bid.
For those of you who want super-easy work for tons of money, DO NOT
bid.
I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability. These
days and hours should NOT be flexible. These should be the days and
times that you are ALWAYS available to work. You will be receiving jobs
during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
to do them, no excuses.
Please don't ask me if work is available. When work is available, I
will send it to you during the days/hours you have specified.
If you are a serious professional, confident about your abilities, take
a great deal of pride in your work, and don't mind working for a fair
but demanding boss, please bid PER AUDIO HOUR. Keep in mind, however,
that you will not be paid more than $20 per audio hour to start.
I responded in a polite way, stating that I do not know of anyone that would take work on a MOMENT'S NOTICE, turn it around in 3-5 hours for the total cost of $20. I got the nastiest response back .... "Well guess what? I've had bids for $10 and $25. So there."
What do you all think? 
That's an insulting offer for someone with experience. Please keep looking. nm

What a joke! Not only is that insulting, listening to that would put me right to
SLEEP!
It supposed to be so insulting to be called the "R" word.
Only whites are accused of being racists but listen to some of the music you hear on MTV, listen to Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton. Are they racists? Darned right they are! The only difference is that it's somehow become socially acceptable for them to be, but not for Caucasians. We're supposed to feel guilty for whatever is wrong in minority people's lives. Well, we're not. Life is what you make it. If your life sucks, whatever color or nationality you are, fix it or shut up about it.
That is the most insulting, bigoted statement about homosexuals...
I have ever seen on this board. How dare you cram your narrow-minded, hateful, ignorant garbage down our throats when we read your thread in good faith that you had a brain. Shame on you.
response to your insulting post on consulting
Wanting to start out with a consultant is called being prepared and nothing to do with my capabiilty of handling a business. both are very two different entitities. Its like operating any other business to get started. If it was not true there would not be any consultants out there. both of you might have started 20 years by the sounds of your posts and it sounds like you might have hit it lucky getting by without contracts. I would rather be safe than sorry but more power to you. I guess it makes you feel "superior."
Only deleting insulting posts....not normal ones like
At least he's not on a power trip...yet. By the way...if you hate it soooooo much, why are you sticking around to post over and over and over how we shouldn't post?
My post was NOT NOT INSULTING. I just wanted to get some answers
YES HE OR SHE IS ON A POWER TRIP if they keep deleting my questions. Why are THEY AFRAID to answer who owns this company. I will stick around until I get a satisfactory answer. I never said I HATED THIS SITE. Where did you get that from? I am not telling YOU how to post either. So again, ONLY WANT TO KNOW WHO OWNS THIS COMPANY. SIMPLE, SIMPLE QUESTION. NOT an insult.
I just posted a response here and WHY was it deleted? It was not insulting
I was just asking why everyone seems to be so unkind as this person does and just asked for moderators. The nasty posts should be deleted, not questions pertaining to that. Makes no sense to me.
Anyone else offended or insulted to be offered 6-7 cpl? Or is it just me or finds this insulting.
Is this how bad it is that now this is the going rate?? I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. I need a career change. 
Please explain what was snippy, rude, arrogant, or insulting in her post.
Sorry, but that's the attitude YOU put forward. You're the one ranting about not being able to find quality MTs. You use the same nickname and the same style as someone who posted the same topic a few days ago. I think you knew that would incite a riot. Maybe the MTs should start an MTSO bashing post and explain the real reason some MTSOs can't find decent MTs. You reap what you sow. If you're only offering newbie rates, you're only going to get newbie applicants. Maybe it's YOU that is the reason you can't find quality MTs.
Yeah, okay. Don't share your views and opinions. Just be insulting, that's helpful. SM
You do realize that your profession is about more than just you. We are all MTs. What is going on in our profession affects us all. It's not just about you or me.
Way friggin' insulting!! Or getting a job at a higher rate & finding a newbie
s
Good choice. Appauling, insulting, and every other neg. MT word ya can think of. Holy Smokes. Grant
the Serenity Prayer.
who did you receive it from?
Can't you ask if you can receive more of them?
xx
where/how did you receive this?
i receive spam emails, but nothing so closely related to what i do as a job...
i dont understand how our jobs can be sent to people that cannot form correct English sentences.
i will NEVER understand this business anymore, and that is why it is time for me to get out of it.
Experience doesn't matter anymore. if they can pay someone as cheap as possible to get the work done, they will do it. And the MT's that accept it hurt the rest of us that deserve more.
im so sick of it! those of you that make good money, count your blessings! A few years ago I was making 50K... now not even CLOSE with the technology and outsourcing...
who stays in a job where their salary has been cut almost 50%?
I just have it saved...sm
in my ShortHand under degrees and it expands to the symbol.
Here's how I saved $$$$
I don't use tapes! The only special equipment I bought was a foot pedal. I have my own 800# and no phone bills! I pay a small monthly fee and a per minute charge for the time my docs dictate. I keep more of my money than ever before. Email me and I'll give you my resource.
you just saved me $$$$ thanks
you just saved me $$$$ thanks
RE: You will not receive a 1099 if
you made less then $600, but the IRS will receive a copy of your earnings regardless. You have to claim all of your income no matter what the amount. Of course, if you made under $600, most likely the tax will be minimal if any.
I receive 2 different CMT incentives.
Two of the companies I work part-time for provide a CMT incentive. One of them pays an extra 1 cent per line and the other, I get 0.005 (half a cent) per line for a CMT incentive. These are on top of my production incentives and quality incentives (at one company).
It does mean extra money and I know what it means to me personally.
Nevermind the naysayers here. They are bitter about quite a long list of things in the MT world.
Thank you Anne!! You saved me. I think you are right!!!
You are welcome...Another1 Saved!!!

this saved my marriage
check out flylady.net - there is a lot of information there, so be patient and read through it...it will give you a different perspective on housework and make it easier on you, even if he does not pitch in. i had to learn to stop nagging my husband about the housework and just do it because i was grateful for my home and wanted to see the floor every now and again :-)one great thing is that, by biting my tongue about the housework, he slowly came around to helping because he was grateful that i was keeping the house nice for him.
also, getting rid of the clutter one step at a time will also help your husband's mental state - too much chaos is confusing for him. i have a mental illness - manic-depression - and having my house in order by following simple step-by-step routines that are written down so i don't have to think about them - just follow the list - has calmed me down considerably and left time for me to care for myself like i should. you will be helping both of you by slowly, step-by-step getting the house together. getting this will help your dear baby by leaving the floor and other areas clear for him to crawl around and do what babies do :-) without all the confusion of clutter.
flylady.net made me more loveable by cutting my tiredness and crankiness (because you clean in small steps that do not exhaust you). It also helped my mood, giving me the self-esteem that comes from tending and blessing my home (and, therefore, my husband) by keeping the clutter at a low liveable hum instead of a screaming mess.
one more thing - try to remember daily why you fell in love with your in the first place. trust me, he is still in there (i was). it was through the committment of my husband to stick by me and tell me all the time that he loved me and wanted to help me that i finally began to love myself again. sure, i still have my days, but they are fewer and farther between, and don't feel so heavy with his help around the house (minus my nagging) :-)
i also want to say that Jesus turned my changed my life - literally gave me a new life and turned me in a totally different direction than my life was taking - took me out of my self-destructive ways because He showed His love to me. i am praying for you. you are hurting right now, and so is your husband. i pray that your hearts will be healed and your love will come back. remember that you created a covenant before God and your families to stick it out through sickness and health and your husband made a covenant to stick it out through messy house or clean :-) blessings.
Good for you. lol Saved the day!

money saved
I so agree with this. I only have to gas my car up once a month---which is a huge savings by working at home.
control-Z has saved me
on occasions where i've hit a wrong key combination and screwed up a report royally -- but you cannot hit anything inbetween the screwup and the control-z....
I have this list saved
(as a 2-column document) and then every now and then will print out 10 pgs or so at random. Then, when I'm watching TV, will scan through them to see if anything jumps out at me as something I should add, or trigger an "aha!" Then I make notes and add them to my Expander using my system.
Hi. I emailed you. If you didn't receive it please
let me know on here so I can try again. THX
most impacting gift I could ever receive
My husband took my two children to the local mall where an artist scetched their portrait. He put their portrait in a beautiful frame and wrapped it for me to receive on Christmas.
I did not receive your email...could you please resend? nm
nm
She did receive helpful information.
Information that she can use and information that she may not want to acknowledge but is still true.
It is rare, but not extinct to receive a
reply regarding how you fared on your test. For those of you who are presently going through this situation, I would suggest going back and reading the email you sent requesting the information. Often times online, the inflections in our words are misconstrued. You may be wasting time imaging the worst.
Second solution; just forward a copy of your original email to them; it only takes 10 seconds.
How to receive daily digest?-please help
Many, many months ago I somehow figured out on this site how to receive a daily digest through email each day and I enjoy that. Now I would like to tell a couple MTer's how to receive this Daily Digest as well, but am not able to find the directions on this site again. If anyone could tell me how to sign up for the Daily Digest, would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
I receive dss files with new version of ES
I just downloaded the newest version of ES, 4.17, a couple of days ago and I receive dss files fine. There was a couple of glitches in the "settings" which I had to change, but now plays fine.
Another possibility: I know when I first downloaded the free ES on my second computer, I could not listen to the files, but it was because I had a different foot pedal on that computer and so I had to go in and make some changes concerning the foot pedal settings in ES.
Are you able to play the files using just the hot keys? If you would like to compare the "settings" which I have on my computer for ES to yours, let me know and I can do that either by email or phone.
How do you receive your dictation from clients
I had used transcriptiongears call in system at one time, but it was too expensive for me. I want to try to pick up another client, but wondered what is the most cost effective method to receive their dictations. Any advice?
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.
.
Do you receive a statement along with the card? nm
nm
You claim it in 2009. If you did not receive
it in 2008, it does not matter it was owed, only what you received in the calendar year.
Visit this website - it has SAVED me! - sm
I came across "FlyLady"... it is actually a website "family" that HELPS get this time and CHAOS under control. Things DO get out of control, and it slowly kills us inside... depressing us. This website helps you take control of your time, sets up 15 minutes a day ONLY to work on your "zones"... one week you are in the living room, then maybe the master bedroom, then the bathroom and another small room.... this disaster did NOT happen overnight, and you cannot expect yourself to get it straightened out overnight. Things get out of hand, but this website family can truly help... I did it, and within ONE MONTH my household was finally manageable, and I could open my door to anyone who came to visit... my friend and her husband came to visit me after a month of FlyLady work, and her husband just said "It just feels home-y to me. What did you do?" A MAN said that, and he didn't know what I was doing. It is very cool, and encouraging, and strengthening!!! There are e-mails sent several times a day for reminders to hop up and do a 5-minute "hot spot" rescue (hot spot being a spot in the house where it seems to get out of control).... take an hour, cruise the website, it is SO much fun... and DON'T FORGET TO SHINE YOUR KITCHEN SINK!!! IT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE!!!
See an accountant. I'm sure you saved your old income tax

Find the template where they are saved.
Usually, this is the normal template, in which case you're looking for normal.dot. Save that one to the flash or floppy.
If you read the Word help file in Word, you will get detailed, step-by-step instructions. I have found their instructions to be VERY helpful as I am a tactile learner.
I have older versions saved.
If this poster (or anyone else) needs an earlier version, I have setup files for both 4.15 and 4.02 available. Just shoot off an email.
A lesson I learned a long time ago--always have a backup plan.Whenever I download a new program and after setting it up on my computer, I save the original set-up file in a folder called, amazingly enough, Downloads. Then, when a newer version is released, I also save it (usually with the version number as part of the name) in the same folder. That way, if anything goes wrong with the update, I have the old setup files to fall back on.
How do I print what I have saved in PC Shorthand?
