And this matters?
And you're miffed her E-mails are horrendous? Big deal! She's paying you; you're not paying her.
Where exactly DO you get off? 
She's entitled to fire off horrendous E-mails every hour on the hour if she wants to, and under the circumstances, she should - they don't have to be correct with every 'I" dotted and every "T" crossed, but the work she's paying you guys to do needs to be correct to the "T," so be thankful she was gracious enough to give those who do a substandard job notice and that she just didn't up and clean house.

actually, I don't think it really matters where...
you are, everybody is vulnerable to anything happening anywhere these days. These types of things have been going on for years, who knows exactly where.
Well, it matters to me!

It matters not where we were. Only if we remember.
Imagine.
I don't think the experience matters as much as...
the ability to see an opportunity and make it work. As an MTSO you will need to be able to find a way to have transcription done and delivered, accurately and in a timely fashion. So you will have to have something in place in case you get sick or go on vacation, or your computer goes down. You will have to choose a file transfer system. You will have to have QA in place. You will have to have the ability to walk into a physician's office, know what data you need to make a proposal, then go home and put something together that has every step covered. You will need to anticipate problems and be ready to solve them (trouble shooting is a must). You will have to have an idea of what is going on in your field, what the going rate is, and how to use variables to your advantage. By that I mean, as above, things like don't print for the doctors! You don't get paid for any line you print, just the ones you type! Let the office secretary do that. She is paid by the hour, not you.
You will have to be ready to get the work done, no matter what, with no excuses and no compromising quality. And you will have to be resourceful and flexible to deal with things that come up.
That being said, it's a bunch of fun to run your own business 
I'm sorry. I did not mean to make matters
I'm afraid that I am confused by your situation . . . the sound card is necessary for any computer to play any sound, as far as I know, but I do not work in/on any platform and am not familiar with any of them. I download files from an FTP site and then play them in either the free Express Scribe software that I mentioned or the Olympus software that I purchased. I figured you had a .wav or .dss file that you were needing to play.
And the platform matters
You can do more lines in long Word documents than you can individual reports on a platform (IMHO of course)
In neuro, it matters a lot...
It affects how they interpret the results of tests - not just lab tests, but reflexes, maneuvers, etc. Every neurologist and neurosurgeon will indicate this in their consults and HPs.
Ability to get job is what matters most
Yes,Andrews and M-Tec are more expensive than a CC, but if you want to work from home, the companies that are looking to hire you don't know if your CC program is adequate. Some are, some aren't, and there are lots of them around the country. The companies know that if you successfully completed Andrews or M-TEC, you are likely to succeed. There are so many posts on these boards from newbies who can't find jobs, yet M-TEC and Andrews grads get hired. I was hired fresh out of school by a large national, worked there 3 years, and was just hired by a smaller MTSO. Getting both jobs was a breeze. I have never had to test for a job. Both companies told me they hired me because I am an M-TEC grad, and they did not feel testing was necessary.
geography matters too!
I think where you live/work plays a lot into that. I live in a very large metropolitan area and our pay in-house is higher than that for sure. If you check AHIMA's salary survey for 2007, the median salary for MTs nationwide is about $36,000, which is roughly $18 per hour. Again, this will depend on your area. When I taught MT a couple of years ago we told our students not to consider anything under $13 to $14, and that was for our new grads. With experience here you would be starting at a minimum of $16 or $17 per hour.
I don't think it matters if IC or employee
If it is an assigned account, the Transcriptionist assigned to those docs gets all that docs dictations. You get to learn the docs verbalizations, whether ESL or not, and eventually can pretty much anticipate what is to be said next. The account manager does not just assign certain dictations, but all of the dictations from one doc. In other words, you are assigned doctors, not just dictations. To me, that is the fairest way to do anything. I hate these "pools" of work where just anybody can log on and learn the system and how to get around it, and only do the "good jobs." It only breeds selfishness, anger, and resentment. Trust me, the work does not get done any faster, and quality is out the window because everybody is rushing, trying to get more work before someone else takes it all. Again, just my opinion.
Idk if it matters, but I use version 8....
It is at the top next to Tools, Edit, File, etc., just like it is in Word. I just Click on "Stedmans", then click "Enable" and its up. Same as I do in Word.
If there's any question on my knowledge in these matters,
I am a college educated and certified computer technician who has been in the technology field for 20 years now. FWIW, Atomic Clock Sync has rave reviews from PC Magazine, but merely synchronizing your computer clock doesn't fix the underlying problem. If the battery on your computer's motherboard goes completely dead, your CMOS settings will go byebye, which is a royal PITA to fix.

Instant Text matters
Is Instant Text better than the others and how much of a difference does it make in my production from what I have been using? amj
that one only works with mono, if it matters

I don't think it matters. They're not always truthful.
I asked several questions that they answered in an unhonest way. For instance, I asked if they were flexible with the hours or rigid. They said flexible. Right from the start were threatening emails about WORKING YOUR SCHEDULED HOURS! I think you get much better information on these boards than you do from a recruiter.
All this talk about size-matters!
I'm an 18-inch gal myself. I adore my little flat panel...if only for the fact that it doesn't take up hardly any space on my already dinky desk here. My husband is a freak and has 2 flat panels next to each other and is always doing weird things with them. They have come down so much in price these past few years it's not even funny. I highly recommend scoring one!
It's not the name that matters. It is who you associate with a name that makes it beautiful
:+
I wore one, but by all means DO WHAT YOU WANT! Your comfort is what matters.:-) nm

Is endocrinology too hard for a for a newbie to start in? I went to M-TEC if that matters.
.
Accreditation matters. It helps to avoid scams, but not always. sm
Pick a good school. It is extremely difficult to get hired immediately, even when graduating from an accredited school. It is a hard row to hoe. Most companies require at least 2, usually 5 years of time on the job. They just don't have time to train new MTs.
Do y'all think the size of the font matters in line counts?
If your font is smaller takes more characters to make a line? I just wondered this today.
In all due respect, I have more pressing matters to worry about them my dietary supplement freedoms.
I gathered from scanning that long article that they are looking for some regulatory commission on ingredients, along with cautionary labels, etc. I am ALL FOR THAT, as I am one of the many humans who is very allergic/sensitive/intolerant to herbal remedies, vitamins, and "dietary supplements" - wrong stuff and I could die. So I'm not concerned - sounds safer for me.
yes to any of the ones listed below, PLUS
Any stuttering ESL! Is there anything worse? I had one Chinese doc who stuttered so badly it made me literally squirm in my chair to hear him. Then he would repeat himself and every other word was "uh and." It was excruciating!
there are so many a few listed below
deaconess.com
medterms.com
doctorspiller.com
mercksource.com
hundreds others, literally
See, it listed on there
the vehicle, the VIN and everything else in my possession, and it said whoever's got whatever, goes to whoever (you know what I mean!! :) THAT was what I signed. I got a DRAFT of the property agreement, but on the final document, nothing is specified, just whatever he's got is his and whatever I've got is mine (this was not something I signed...this is what I got after going to court). And maybe things vary in different states....I dunno, but I had to be present with my attorney, as did he, but neither he nor his laywer showed up. But I needed the FINAL COPY to say the VIN number and the specifics for the DMV. That's all.
I look at the website you listed.
There a ton of great jobs there but where do they list the jobs for MTs?
If only one printer is listed...
How can you change your default? Can you actually create a default that does not exist?
Since when are CTs listed under labs?
 This company is something else. Maybe they would have more work if the editing staff could make up their minds. For months I have been putting CT/PET scan results under "Imaging" with other places "Radiographs". Was told by someone in QA it goes under labs? Okay, my mother works for a mircobiology lab -- they test blood, urine and tissue samples. Never have I heard of someone getting their CT scan from the lab! The lab is not the source of radiographic data to my knowledge. Did I miss something here?????????
If none of the suggestions listed here
are of any help, here is an alternate.
Use the support form available from the "Support" link on the WinZip home page (http://www.winzip.com). The majority of the time they respond to all inquiries within 1 business day.
OP listed several things, not just this one; I'm sure you get that.

I work there as well and they have everything listed except 3 and 6.
Regarding #2, you do need to check with your supervisor to be sure extra work is needed for your accounts, as a courtesy to the people scheduled to work those hours...there needs to be enough work to go around.
Stedman's has crepitance listed.
Taber's only has crepitant and crepitation, not even crepitus. It's probably one of thos cases where doctors just made up a variation on a word that stuck. They don't care if it's right or not.
Start, programs and it is listed there.
I downloaded it last week. Found it there after an hour of confusion and then made a shortcut to my desktop.
Not listed with Better Business Bureau?
I have been offered a really good position with a company, however they have no web site and are not listed with the BBB. Should I be suspicous? They are a small company, but shouldn't they be listed voluntarily or something?
Not sure on this but I think you pay to be listed with the BBB - (join a member) so many probably j
the money to do so. Search the archives or Google them. Otherwise unless they are offering some outragous pay over such as over .12 cpl, then I would not worry about it and go for it.
flocculence is listed on onelook.com-sm
and has a definition of being flocculent which means having a fluffy character or appearance. I am by no means saying in my previous statment that this is a medical transcription standard but simply stating what I have found in my research of this. I also would like to know for sure if this is correct or not if anyone knows.
I have many, many doctors who frequently state, "There is no fluctuance on palpation of the wound." I have been typing fluctuance all this time and just ignoring spell check because it is used so frequently, so if this is wrong, any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Did anyone see the CEP Shay Reddy job listed
They are asking for someone to proof/MT for $9.00 an hour. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
 Quick, how do I sign up?
I visited the website you listed and according
to that, it is not an insurance plan. It is a savings plan. You get a membership card that gets you savings on medical care at participating providers, not insurance.
It isn't that it is MY way. It is the correct way. It is the way that is listed in reference
Do you still feel that way? I'm afraid if I change my way of doing things to incorrect and improper ways that I may never get them back. I pride myself in being a great MT. I have three years of college to boot. It is almost like starting a bad habit to please your employer and I just don't know if I can do something the wrong/incorrect way.
Pled is listed in my dictionary
Webster's New World Dictionary
Actually, shoddy is not even listed in the 29th
edition Dorland's Medical Dictionary. Only shotty is listed and means " like shot; resembling the pellets used in shotgun cartridges." 
it is listed under fever, but the two words are
not interchangeable.
here's a link to the instructions that someone listed here.
http://forum.mtstars.com/main/v/1/79799.html
A few of my favs are listed inside......sm
http:// www.upinregistry.com (very comprehensive listing of doctors in all states with ability to put in specialty if it is know to narrow the search)
http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_home.jsp
(This is the old "Merck" book that lots of older MTs used to use and now available on line. Tons of info and search ability for terminology, drugs, etc)
http://www.labtestsonline.org/
(This is a super website with terminology for drugs categorized under diseases and syndromes, etc)
http://www.thebody.com/content/art40488.html
(A very good HIV-related site)
Hope these help!
No old audio files listed
I don't see an email listed on her post. Elsewhere on the site? nm

The one I listed earlier does. Link inside....
http://www.upinregistry.com/provider_form.asp
Towards the bottom there is a pull down to pick speciality, and chiropractor is one of them.
Let's do a poll, would you respond to help wanted ad that listed pay
more than you would an ad that did not list pay range? I am finding myself only responding to ads that have a pay range listed. Does anybody else do this? Maybe if those companies out there that needed MTs badly listed pay range then they would get more of a response!
check the equipment board--several listed there--nm
