and it will list all the doctors with the same names, and then you choose the appropriate one. I cut and paste the doc's name and addresses into letters. Super easy.

I am partial to Creative... sm
I am a few years outdated, bought mine in 2002, but mine is still well supported and I like it :-) I paid a lot because I am very picky as to my sound quality, my whole music collection is on this thing. Think I paid about $100, though that may be the going rate anymore; I really don't know.
Creative is still pretty common, I think. That would be my vote, or go over to a review site like maybe CNet or something.
I would agree; I think most are on the motherboard at this point. I have a Gateway PC that I bought in 2005, and it's built in. I am not certain that going into system will tell you where something physically is per se. I only found out by opening up the computer.
CNet often has video tutorials too, so that may help you.
As for disabling a sound card that's on the motherboard, you're going to need to locate the jumpers and change their settings prior to installing a new card. I didn't change the jumpers before installing mine, and literally my PC wouldn't even turn on until I did that! Acted shorted out or something. Are you familiar with jumpers?
Feel free to email me privately and I can try to walk you thru it. I'll be your geek friend LOL!

partial unemployment
If you accepted a per line job as a medical transcriptionist, no offense, but you screwed yourself. NEVER accept ANY job that you do not want. If the employer hired you on a per hour basis and then changed everything about it at their will and it was not the same job as you had before, check it out. BUT, I think the employer has to give 30 days notice before making any kind of changes like that, if they are allowed at all. Actually, when I got screwed over by one of my employers, who was a huge hospital organization, to this day I feel like they basically screwed me out of $14,000 savings, because I had to use it to get me through. Not only that, but after the employment office told them that they HAD to pay me unemployment benefits, I had lawyers calling my house and sending me mail out the "whazoo." Of course, I never pursued it, because although it was heartbreaking after being there many years, I actually was glad to rid myself of them. My headaches decreased, miracously I had not one more issue with my internet, and looking back, I wished I would have quit their "sorry asses" years ago. Actually, I wish I would have taken another job in another field that I think of every now and then, when I had the chance. GET OUT of transcription. Being in transcription turned me into a real bit_h and for the last couple of years working at that place and knowing what I know and that I was being "taken for a ride," it just twisted me all up and my personality was a mess. I am so much better without them and only wish that sometime in the near future I can actually get out of healthcare altogether. Good luck
More -- 10 is 77 cpl, and 12 is 64. Now if is usally is a lot of partial lines than this will be a

I've always been partial to a chair with arms
and I'm not sure why. I don't know where people put their arms with no arm rests. Would that cause shoulder tiredness? I don't have an idea for a new one, but I sure need one! 
My Fave?
Arkansas cake (banana cake with no frosting!) Ooooyum! It's rip roaring good!! Wash that down with some mountain Dew and you got one of the best taste treats that would rival any five star restaurnat BAR NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ops are my fave
Years ago when I worked inhouse and was training to do MTing, I was literally scared to death of ops. My boss lady did me the biggest favor of all. She noticed I did not pick the tapes (yes, tapes) for the ops, only choosing others and 1 day I think she was a little upset with me and put me exclusively on ops for about 3 months. Can I say thank you now! I can yo-yo on ops, I don't have any saved so most of my are word by word but most of the physicians I transcribed say the same thing over and over. I have now worked on the same acct for 18 years and I just about know what they are going to say next. Easy money for me. Don't care for H&Ps nor DS, they only slow me down.
Who's your fave Beatle?
John, Paul, George & Ringo - my fave is John. So creative and brilliant - such a senseless loss...
She's my fave, too. I don't force anyone into my car either.
What is your fave browser?
Mine is Firefox - love how fast it is, plus tabbed browsing rules! Much better and safer than old Internet Explorer, I must say. BTW, the newest version of Firefox comes out today (free download) which is supposed 2B even better! 
My fave's VEGAS!
Anything Vegas is romantic to me......
Go there and find the best suite you can at one of the finer hotels; i.e., Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Wynne, and then make reservations at some of the five-star restaurants - then top it off with a fine show, a few hands of black jack, a couple of Black Russians, and a helicopter ride over the strip at night, then if you have time, go to the top of the Stratosphere at their lounge and have another Black Russian. That view is TOTALLY romantic!
Whereever you choose, though, I have you have a totally romantic time!
here's one fave from my archives...sm
i had a young neurosurgeon dictating an extremely complicated brain surgery while on his cell phone in his sports car...all of a sudden i hear the engine screaming (sounded like a ferrari!) and him saying, "sh**...I gotta make this light, hold on..." which was followed by nothing but ENGINE noise for a few seconds, then a brief pause, and he calmly continued dictating his complex report...talk about multitasking...i'll never forget that one. :)
My husband's fave........
A good steak and angel hair/broccoli/shrimp on the side. I make it like a scampi and pour over the angel hair/broccoli. Bon appetit!
ER reports are my fave
They are always different and therefore interesting, and the docs always seem in a hurry so they talk fast and I fly through them which makes the line counts rack up really fast.
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
What's your fave Beatle song?
Hey Jude 4 me! 
my fave: How to lose a guy in 10 days (nm)
also the wedding planner.
Very HOT!!!!
my fave movie too....but not for Costner...nm
or this one is my fave tons of work..
There usually is for thre first three months at most..then nothing. I have no problem working on the hard accounts, but when it gets down to $30-$50 a day at most, it gets very frustrating. One spends all day logging in a looking for work to find one or two jobs. When you can't pay your bills, you have to move on. I want to find a company that consistently has the work...have yet to find it.....
I want to learn Spanish so when go to my fave

re: looking up names
If the doctors do not bother to spell the patient names and the offices do not bother to provide me with a patient list for the visit date, they get a verbatim spelling of the name and a note to please check the spelling of all names. I don't have the time to dig around on the internet looking for their patients names and I do not feel it is my job and I do not expect my subs to do it. If they provide us with a list, yes, I expect them to use the list but otherwise they get what they say for names and the office has to verify the names. If the company you work for pings you for QA issues by doing this, then I honestly would find someone else to work for.
looking up names
oh, believe me I do get caught with that all the time and it sucks!!
Let's not name names, please.

names??
I'm applying to several presently...any chance you could tell me which bad ones those are?
first names sm
I am called Grammy by my grandchilden and "Mom" by my sons. However, my daughters-in-law were told they could call me by name as they have their own Moms. One does and the other one doesn't call me anything. I always sign cards, etc., "Mom and Dad and then our last name, so they will still be part of us, but these girls obviously are not as close to me as their own moms. If they did call me Mom it would be okay, but I don't think they think of me in this way, I would be honored if they did. It's difficult. Most of my son's older friends call me by Mrs. and a few, very few by our first names and it's okay. I don't like being too formal. You'll find with grandchildren at some point they will try to use the first name and we always snicker at it,it's just something each of them tried very, very briefly, perhaps once or twice; don't make a lot of it and it's a phase, they get over it quickly if you take it lightly and go right back to "Grammy and Grampy." As long as they don't make derogatory remarks and show respect, I think you have to play it by ear. It's not always easy.I prefer professionals to call me by my first name, a lot ask you on their forms what you wish to be called. I always use my first name, as I think Mrs..... is too stuffy. To each their own, I guess.
first names
I don't care what they call me as long as they are respectful which they all are. I have four girls and we have a house full all the time.
pet names
Shadow is Lab/Golden retriever mix (looks like a black lab)
Sugarbear is Golden retriever/collie mix.
Mr.Whiskers is a stray wire-haired terrier.
Callie is the Queen of All - our calico cat.
names
cat, Simon
cat, sushi, nickname, shooshoo
dog, spanky
I keep a log of every job and their names...nm
We have those names in our town too.

Blame the names
on the 911 system. To help keep dispatchers from having to deal with sound alike names and sending emergency services to the wrong street the 911 center in most areas gets the final say so on whether a street name is okay or not.
When a small rural county I lived in went with the 911 system those of us who lived in the small cities had to rename some of the existing streets since there were streets in the rural areas of the county over 50 miles away with the same names.
Not street names, but how about....
the STUPID names they give the different models of new homes... When we bought ours, they were things like El Capitan, El Sonoro..... etc. We bought the smallest and cheapest model and my DH always said that we bought the EL CHEAPO!
street names
Used to work on Blue Rock STREET...lived with my folks on Blue Rock ROAD...which has about 3 blocks of what people think are Cheviot Road...goes back to Blue Rock Road....then 5 miles away, next street over is OLD Blue Rock Road Road....creates havoc for delivery people
Street names
We have Easy Street and Boardwalk in our subdivision.
I use Superpages to look names up.
Same as checking in a phonebook..no other personal info.
patient names
This is a problem that I am currently struggling with. My accounts are not 'searchable' and some docs don't spell out the patient's names. I have QC'd these many times with a note AND my e-mail address asking QC if I should be sending all these reports to them minus the patient's name, or send it to them GUESSING the spelling, or just spell the names phonetically and NOT QC them. About 15 requests now, and NO REPLY!! Very frustrating!!! Otherwise, the account is really good. I am new, so did not realize that other platforms gave credit for footers, headers, etc. I know on DQS you get a fair line count on just the body of the report. Don't know about the rest.
Patient Names
You'd be surprised how many facilities have the patient's name on the report. Its not that uncommon. Depends on the facility and the company you work for.
the names are usually bleeped out...sm
for privacy reasons, as are dates, hospital names, etc. Anything identifying would be bleeped out...at least in my experience...
names bleeped
It is a test run so I am just not sure what they would want me to do. I have worked for several companies that use the doctor's names in reports but not the patients. Even at the local hospital they used the doctor's names but not the patient's name. What would you do on a test run for employment?
There are quite a few names that come to mind
for people like you. Who are you to try to slam me?
My income knocks me out of getting a lot of the "breaks" you are implying. I'm not taking advantage of any of you, period. I earn my way and always have. My children and I have never been on any type of assistance, EVER, and only 2 years have I ever qualified for EIC.
My income alone is more than most couples in this area. I see 2-wage-earner homes taking advantage of MY tax dollars, thank you very much.
You can just shut your foul mouth and stick it where the sun doesn't shine!!!
