The wireless company has built their own s/m

In Reply to: If you don't get your wireless through cell phone signal, - how do you get it?
towers in many areas or lease buildings in strategic spots. For instance, they have one on our local water tower, the farmer down the road from me has one on his silo, just in different locales. They invested a lot of money in this because it is the only alternative out here. They do not rely on the cell phone companies at all. I know that things like trees and stuff impede it as well, as there are some people out here that can't get either unless they build their own tower that goes above the trees to put the receiver on. The company spent a lot of time scouting out locations on hills, etc. to make this work. I'm lucky that the silo is within my range.

DQS already has an expander built in (sm)
so you can build upon that. It's the only one I use, can't get into those other ones! Good luck, it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be! 
If we built and continue...
....to build corporations in Mexico, they why in the world do they keep coming over here for work?
I totally understand where you're coming from. I have had many family members and friends lose jobs they have worked at for 25+ years. It's a shame this continues to go on. Maybe our political postions should be outsourced to the American people, not the high-rollers who are put there because of WHO they know and NOT because they care about us!
My son built my new computer for me
last year. He is very knowledgeable in this field and he recommended the AMD 64-bit processor as opposed to the Pentiums. He said they were more reliable. I love my new computer. We purchased a "build your own" bundle through Tiger Direct, where you choose what you want in it. Mine was slightly over $500 with the DVD burner DVD player, mother board with 64-bit processor, and 512 mb of ram. plus some other features, that I don't remember, but my son could probably tell you. He said the 63-bit processors are the wave of the future technology. Hope it helps.
Have you built up your speed yet? How did you
deal with the learning curve and still get your line count in? Thanks for posting this link!
You can have one built special for you
at any computer tech store. I ended up getting a refurbished laptop on ebay that had XP on it and got Word 2003 for only $39. I did buy a 2-year warranty on teh laptop, but even with that it was cheaper than buying a new one and having to have Vista deleated and adding XP and all the new drivers.
Yes-- I have an Adesso with a built-in touch pad
It works very well for me-- you don't have to move your hand that far to use it. It is strange at first, but once you get used to it, you will love it.
The first factory is being built here in Georgia....sm
Supposed to bring in about 2000-2500 jobs. Hopefully their quality of vehicles will improve. Time will tell!
Do they still make keyboards with a built-in
nm
I agree with a custom-built....sm
The problem with Gateway as well as IBM and probably a few others is they are proprietary, no one else can upgrade them. And unless you live in a large city with a Dell service center, for example, you are going to have to ship it whenever there's a problem or changes needed. It's a pain if you decide you need more memory, etc.
I bought a used custom built that a local computer shop had stripped down to the basics, and they have been able to upgrade consistently for me. As a result I've had this computer for 5 years through numerous platforms, etc. and it's still exactly what I need it to be. Also when I have a problem they can service it without a lot of questions because they know it's history to a T. I would have had to buy a whole new computer during this time...great if you've got the money to do it every few years, but I don't. So for me, this is the only way to go. .
he may have built it as an IC software developer, but I ...
do not believe it was ever Sheri's intention to have him take it over and represent overseas MTs and overseas MT companies. Whatever the situation, we'll never know for sure. The point is, the new administrator should advertise the website in an honest manner. For starters, he should remove the American Flag from the homepage and post the facts on the homepage that this is a website for International MTs from all countries and services being advertised are from both U.S. companies and overseas companies (having a base in one of our US States and conducting business overseas in no way makes a company American operated (maybe they have an office based in the U.S). Our U.S. citizens deserve to know where their medical records are going, and the doctor dictating their patient records deserves the same. What is the big deal about being up front and honest with straight forward advertising in an obvious area of the website for all to see?
Our regular Walmart was fine. Then they built the SM
Super Walmart. It is disgusting. The toiletries department is small, smaller than the other one in the original store. Lots of absolutely horrible clothes and I am not a snob. The quzlity of the clothes has gone done, if that is possible.
The worst part is the food section. I don't buy food there, but it is dirty, broken boxes of FOOD lying around. Few name brand items, it is truly awful. The produce section is about 2 feet wide. Damn shame.
Well that stinks, my vet just built an addition onto the "house" she was using - sm
It is now basically 2 houses connected with a wide hallway. She has 1 partner, who she has had for the last few years, and has not changed her services/prices at all. She now does have a $25 visit fee but you only have to pay it once a year, if you are regular customer she won't charge you for it everytime you come in. She does not charge for putting an pet to sleep either, as long as you are a regular (She knows us pretty well, I was there a lot with my old dog). She is very helpful to me, recently boarded our 16-y/o schipperke though she has not had her shots this year (my normal kennel would not take her since she was not current on her shots -- was due in 9/05) but as she is on her last legs I see no point in getting her vaccines. The dog is deaf and blind, having kidney failure very slowly but seems happy and my DH can't bring himself to put her to sleep yet. Our vet agrees with us on this point too.
built in shelves, cute as a button!
Love it plus it is small with a built-in desk too!
Call computer geeks and have on built that way.
p
You can remove the built-in shortcut from the Insert key. sm
Go into Tools, Customize, then click the Keyboard button. Scroll down and click on All Commands in the left window. Scroll down the right window and click on the Overtype command. Click on the command in the current keys box, then click Remove.
Brand name doesnt matter as much as what is built into

Agree get custom built. My geeks know what I

Our Wal Mart moved. Built a Superstore behind Kmart!
Suprisingly, Kmart is still hanging in there and that's where I did most of my Christmas shopping. Great toy department! Much better than Wal Mart.
No lines and no waiting either and you can park pretty close to the store. 
I built my own using the auto-correct function in Word. (sm)
I removed most of the words that came with auto-correct, and replaced them with my own short macros, which consist of words, phrases, & short sentences. Little or no memorizing involved, because I made them up as I went along whenever I kept getting the same things over and over again, and got tired of typing them. For longer macros I just put them in a document file that I can copy and paste. Simple. And CHEAP!
Site was foreign built from the beginning..just listed at top only for US

They are newbies! They can built a Medical Phrase book
buy entering the answers given on the word help board into the
'Medical Phrase Index.'
They will learn.
Isn't it the goal, last not least to facilitate the job?
Why do we use calculators, computers, kitchen appliances that facilitate out work?
This is called evolution!
My "techies" come to the house and most of the time get it fixed here. They built the computer
:}
That's what I thought too, but I was told the built in thing was compatible with my router. nm

I believe most of the software written for MTing have a built in "cannot edit"
mechanism,so that once a document has been signed; electronically or otherwise, it cannot be altered.
Regarding Addundums, if you were not the original Transcriptionist who typed the document, most companies prefer that you bypass it in the pool, which will then be reassigned to the original transcriptionist. It's not good company policy reading and/or making an addenda to anyone else's report other than your own.
Is this w/the built-in hand rest? Touch was nice, but the rest made my palms achey. Didn't

wireless
I have 4 systems throughout the house on wireless from my cable company since my cable line only comes in at one corner of the house and it's way to costly to run it elsewhere.
Wireless has been working fine for me.
wireless
I hated my wireless keyboard and mouse. It was not dependable. Stopped working for no reason now and then.
Wireless
Does anybody live way out in the country like me where there is no cable, no DSL, and dial-up is a lousy 24? We just got wirelness with an antenna for the home computer. Wondering if any companies allow this for MT work. Does anybody out there work with wireless from a remote location?
wireless
I work off a wireless network because my husband and I both have computers. You have to have a very good wireless network because the transcription companies can not guarantee that it will work. The first wireless we had was an older Dell and would lose the connection very easily. We now have a very good Belkin with 3 antennas and I have no trouble. It is very frustrating to be typing along and lose the connection. In fact, with the first wireless network it would lose the connection before the program could even be loaded.
Wireless
I want to be able to move around when my granddaughter is here. My office is in a corner of the house out of site. I would rather keep the wired connection but son-in-law thinks I should go wireless. Haven't decided yet. We live out in the boonies so not sure others could access mine or not. Thanks
How to go wireless?
I am so sick of all the wires! I have a cable modem, router, mouse, and keyboard all with wires, a laptop in my house with a cable modem plugged in by Ethernet, The wires drive me batty!
So what can I do to eliminate some? If I want to use the laptop in an area of the house not near the modem, how can I use the wireless net on it if we aren't in a wi-fi zone? Would a wireless router work?
wireless
i went wireless, use a router downstairs and installed (myself) an adapter to upstairs computer.......After a few weeks of frustration, turned out the adapter wasn't installed good enough so i just had to push a little harder and all the prongs connected. Now my daughter is on wireless. I believe Linksys (what I have) reaches 500 feet.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

how are you wireless with everything?
I'm a new MT and obviously have little experience. I am currently working for a hospital in acute care. This is the only job I've had. They supplied the computer, dictaphone, etc. for me to work from home. I cannot add anything to this computer, even a wireless mouse! (have one on our home computer and love it!) I just wondered what type of set up you have, or company you work for that allows you this freedom that you don't have to have the dictaphone, etc? Please give further info so this newby understands! Don't you have to have a dictaphone or similar equipment?
wireless
You can go to the website of the manufacturer and they will help. I have Linksys. Be sure to write your # down if you do choose to use a secret code. I was told that even if you don't, Windows XP etc., and your Spyware will prevent hackers. I hope so. I think we are well protected. "Wireless" doesn't mean less wires, I have wires all over the place but it's nice to use my laptop actually on my lap!
wireless
You can go wireless on your own, but you will need to go to your ISP website and get their instructions on they do it. They have help available if you need it and they will walk you through every step - do not be afraid. If you can transcribe the dictation done by the American doctor, you can set up a router.
HOWEVER, most companies will not let you use wireless. You get knocked off your network a lot with wireless, just because in any given neighborhood, you are likely to have several different ISPs and they bump each other off the airwaves, so to speak. Most MTSOs want to use an ethernet connection.
But, ask the company you are working for what their policy/preference is.
If you have DSL, isn't that on every phone in your house? Does the back bedroom have a phone?
Good luck to you on your new job.
can I go wireless-sm
I am starting with a company that is providing a computer. I have a PC with DSL in the corner of my dining room. I would like to put their computer in a back bedroom. Can I go wireless? What do I need to do? What should I be asking them about their computer, if anything? Where can I buy the router box (which I assume I will need?) Do I need a computer tech to do this or can I do it? Not terribly literate about all this. Thanks!
Wireless...
I have a router for my broadband internet so understand the principle. A router cannot make your connection faster, as far as I know...all it does is allow you to access your internet connection on another computer somewhere else in its range. I use a router so I can use my laptop for internet anywhere I want in the house and its great. But if you are looking at it in hopes of making your connection faster, I would speak with a customer rep for the product before assuming it will do that. Hope that helps!
Wireless
Thanks so much for the information. I appreciate the help.
I use USB or wireless
Gyration has no lag for wireless, and you can get a compact Dell USB for like $14.95 online. I alternate the two. I hate my laptop keyboard and never use it.
don't like wireless
I had all kinds of trouble with MS wireless keyboard both with KVM and without. Just couldn't get it to work right without throwing in spaces, etc. I gave up on it.
Does anyone know why OSi does not allow wireless?
Just wondering as this may be a problem for me.
Wireless
In some cases it works well. I kept getting disconnects and couldn't use it.
I have wireless
and used to work in eScription at my previous job and it worked great for me.
wireless
Most motels have a wireless connection.....you can go wireless in your car by using an aircard through your cell phone service. I use an AT&T aircard. Only thing with that is that it will disconnect you when the wireless phone tower changes over to another one.
wireless anywhere
Please keep in mind that while hotels offers wireless as do airports, restaurants, etc., etc, these are NOT secure network. Thus, if you are working there, you are sending your reports via a nonsecure network. Not HIPAA compliant.

Does anyone work on wireless?
Is this a good option?? I am not able to get cable, DSL, and satellite is too slow. Is wireless a good option for transcription when there don't seem to be any jobs for dial-up anymore? Thanks.
I have wireless for 3 systems but I believe you
will have to have DSL coming in on a router. From my understanding (and goodness knows I could be wrong) I don't think you can have "wireless" internet without a router from another source. The router is attached to your phone line for DSL and sends out the signal for other wireless adaptors to pickup.
I use wireless and it is fine. (sm)
I don't think it is quite as fast as DSL, but it is definitely adequate.
As the poster below said, you have to be clear of trees to get a signal.
wireless.. do you have a router
I have wireless in my house too, but I work off of the main computer where the router or hub is connected to the cable. I have tried working on the other computers in the house connected to wireless and it is tramendously slower, obviously because takes time for the signal. I would try to connect your work computer directly to the router. DQS downloads superfast normally. I have found a delay in sound and keyboard with wireless.
Wireless transcription
I just went wireless moving from a large city to a country setting. I work for 2 companies and one company's platform does not support a wireless connection due to "time out issues." Therefore, I have to use AOL dial-up to be able to download the work and ask that they send like 10 files at a time. After that, I disconnect from the internet dial up connection and work in "offline mode."
The other company that I work for I have no problems with using wireless. Just a bit slower than DSL or cable. The one problem that I have run into using my laptop is conflicts with footpedals.
Feel free to email me if you wish.
