transferred from your foot get down in there.  Spray it good with the air and if something is in there causing it to stick.  I've used foot pedals (knock on wood) for 10 years.  I use the compressed air though to keep them dust/crumb free.

Another charmer is compressed air in the can
This has a straw-like nozzle to attach and spray away!  This can loosen up the harder to get to "oogies" as Hayseed refers to.  Works great for me, and it is not too expensive.  You should be able to find it at department stores probably in the electronics section. 
Canned

Did anyone every have one company where they totally bombed and another where they just loved you?  Been with hospital for 11 years and never had any problems, if fact, told by a passing through doctor, one of the best he's worked with.  My first national pt position let me go because my QA was low.  I have a lot of ESL on primary account but this company had a couple of docs that I could not understand at all even after looking over old reports. 


Sorry, I guess I need to get a little cheese with mine Whine.


Definitely canned air.

canned transcriptions
I think I would ask the company if I can correct all the errors. I have done that with my employer and he is happy that I have fixed things. I can't stand to have things be wrong and have my name on them.
I used the canned air also or shake it upside down.
Then I take a damp sponge and wipe it down while unplugged. I have heard you can soak in water as long as you let it completely air dry before using but I've been afraid to do that. I will have to Google that one ;)
We keep a 2 week supply of canned food,

a Coleman stove, propane, water, etc.,  in our basement because we live in an area that is prone to heavy snow and blizzards, low temperatures, and we cannot always get out in wintertime, but I sure don't see any long lines of the politicians here pretending to help us. They would free their backsides so, thankfully, they stay out of our business and we stay safe.  I have quit sympathizing with those who know they are in the path of storm and do nothing about it.  The idiots in Cancun knew that area was directly in the path so now they moan and groan because they can't get out.  Too bad! 


As far as Florida goes, you go through this same thing several times a year, so you have been through the drill.  If you don't like the weather, move somewhere else.  Don't stand in lines with your hands out waiting for sympathy.


 


Semi-related tip: use the canned air on your footpedal too
mine went nuts one day not long after I started with a new job, I requested another footpedal and got it mailed out, and then that one didn't work, either. I got to looking and there was fur in both of them! So I keep the canned air close by and keep it blown out!
Buy canned air - much safer, quicker & cleaner!

it's got to be gross lines or lots of canned text (nm)

canned air is good but scares the * outta my cats!
We're talking heart attack city for all 3 of them!
No, it is 65 character lines including spaces. The only canned text is my own.
I get mostly the same dictators on the same account every day. I do have carpal tunnel starting, so, gotta get it while I can.
Template lines usually refer to pretyped canned reports
These would include such templates like epidural steroid injections and such where you are just typing in patient demographics and the date of procedure, cataract surgeries, or whatever canned dictation the physicians have come up with so they can cut costs and not dictate. Make sure you are not always having to revise the templates constantly at no cost; otherwise, that is a good price.
If only they could ditch Brooke Burke and her insipid canned commentary. And those outfits. nm

ATTENTION all MTSO and hospital...please get 1-800 numbers...UNLIMITED LONG DISTANCE is being canned
This is going to be a HUGE problem for everyone involved.  The long distance companies are watching and they DO NOT LIKE what we do over their lines, so please, consider getting 1-800 numbers.  You could possibly charge each MT a small amount each month to cover the bill.  Seems like a logical way to go!  What does everyone think?
