We didn't install ours, came with the house, but I learned...

In Reply to: RE: Outside woodburning stoves - anyone have one, how do you like it, and how expensive (sm) - Kris
something today... If it's bitter cold outside and your woodstove is keeping your house warm, the water in your pipes (if you have steam heat) can freeze anyway because the thermostat never calls for heat and the water sits and can freeze in the pipes that are close to outside walls. Other than that danger, it's great. It never got over 15 today and our house was a gorgeous 75 degrees. You have to keep an iron kettle full of water on top so it will boil and put some moisture back into the air. Some people are bothered by wood stoves, but fortunately we are not. Also, I would get a stove with a blower on it (we do) to help push the hot air out into the room.

Never learned it? Hah! I learned it and still didn't like it.
I learned along time ago: My house, my rules. sm
I have been through the wringer, trying to keep my two older kids away from "bad influences." But I have learned.
When they were younger, I simply said, "You can play with so and so outside, but he's bratty. If he gets bratty outside, he'll have to go home."
When they were teenagers, I simply set the "House Rules". Abide by them, or out you go. Funny thing was, the friends were more compliant than my own kids. :)
If my older kids brought a friend over to stay the night because he/she was "fighting with mom/dad," I'd say, "Sure you can stay, but not until you call your mom or dad and tell them you are here and that you aren't going anywhere and that you are safe for the night."
I heard on occasion, "Didn't your mom say NOT to do that?" I guess I had more "control" than they had at their own houses and they felt good about having some limits.
My son who FINALLY moved out at 19 had a few new friends that came over one night and, as they were leaving, they said, "We'll be back around 10:30!" I said, "Sorry guys, this place closes at 10:00 on weeknights." They didn't come back.
I have 2 younger ones, 14 and 10. We have a pool. My pool rule? No towel, no towel. You can swim, but you can "drip dry."
Funny thing is, I've collected well over 2 dozen towels in the past 2 years that I have no idea where they came from. If it were me, the minute my child came home, I would have said, "And where is my towel?" Some parents just don't stay on top of things, if you know what I mean. 
I didn't originally plan on it. At the time I learned about - sm
MT, my sister had just started doing MT for a local hospital, and was learning on the job. I was a temp. office worker at the time, couldn't really find anything that was a good fit. My sis thought I'd be good at MT, and I came to visit her at work one day and she let me listen to and try to transcribe some tapes that she was already finished with. I liked it, so went to night school to learn medical terminology. I was offered a job at a transcription company (using mag-card typewriters back then, which were the 'latest thing') and have been doing MT ever since.
Thank goodness we didn't have wallpaper in our house.
The person who lived here before us had a thing for pastel colors and paneling, though. The living room was blue, master bedroom purple, 1st bedroom pink, 2nd bedroom lavender, kitchen peach, laundry room yellow, and bathroom gray. The carpets and curtains were all different colors to match, too. We lived with the ugly paneling in the living room for years before deciding to rip it down and put up sheetrock. We were pleasantly surprised to find a perfect sheetrocked wall behind the paneling.
I was working in-house, but didn't know 'til I arrived. - sm
Was having the nicest, QUIETEST morning up until then, too! (Didn't realize this was largely due to no jets flying overhead, as I live along the flight path for both SFO and Oakland Int'l. airports.)
I believe the phone had rung around 6:00 AM, (my sister calling to ask if I'd heard the news), but I tuned it out, turned over, and went back to sleep. Never checked my messages, either. I never turn on the TV before work, and it as a gorgeous fall day. I lived near where I worked, and decided to ride my bike to work that day. As I was riding along a street that bordered a creek, I remember thinking was a PEACEFUL morning it was.
So I get to work, and as I arrive at my workstation, feeling all smiles & calmness and 'coombayah', a co-worker asks if I've heard what happened. I just assumed the system was down again, which happened often there.
So then she says, no - New York was attacked. I thought she was joking, and then my sister reached me and was breathlessly telling me what happened. She said a jetliner had hit the World Trade Center. 'How can that be an attack?' I asked, 'There must've been something wrong with the plane or the pilot or something.' But she said no, she was watching live coverage of the aftermath of the 1st tower on TV, and actually saw the 2nd plane hit the second tower. She'd called because she heard one was headed for San Francisco (the one that went down in Pennsylvania).
Anyway, for the next couple days it was weird to drive past SFO and see NO planes taxiing on the runway, and to pass it at night and not see the lineup of jet headlights headed from East to West towards the main runway. Although I have to admit it was rather nice not to have to listen to planes overhead for a couple of nights, now when I hear a jet, it's sort of a relief. If a long time passes where I don't hear a jet overhead, I start to get nervous......
won't install
Keeps looking for something on a CD (which it didn't come on). Also, a file called scan.msi (installation file), which is not on the system.
Help?
Have any of you been able to install
nm
Yes, usually you can install on up to 3
computers. Even if someone else has registered you should be able to install it, just probably will not get support. I never register any of my software in case I want to sell it/give it away. So far I've never needed support that their website didn't provide.
you should be able to install it...
it opens as an Adobe Acrobat file. Do you have Adobe on your computer? If not, you can download it, for free, at their site.
When you put the CD into your drive, you should see the BOS folder and one of the files says "Adobe Acrobat Installer". Click on that and it will start the install for you.
BOS install
I installed mine under Program Files and made a shortcut to my desktop but it may be easier for you to just install it on your desktop since that is probably where you will be using it from most often. You can always change it later if you want (when you are not so worn out  ).
For me the book takes sooo much time to try to find anything but with the CD installed, you can search the whole BOS and it will find all the instances of what you are looking for.
I don't remember anything about it asking for a language. Why not choose English?
Good luck! Email or post if you have ?s.
Yes, it is possible to install...
do a search for * install * on this board - right above your message - and you will see instructions as this has been posted before.
Did you install
the software on the laptop, or did the company your work for install it on your laptop? Thank you.
Thank you. Did not want to install
and then have their computer jam.
Bytescribe 3x install
We've been using Bytescribe for years and are happy with the product. We recently added a new customer, so I purchased a DocShuttle Dictator and also found out, upon receiving it, that there was a 3-times install license. I suppose they have been experiencing, or think they have experienced piracy.
What I did not read in this thread is that you can, for about 10 or 20 dollars more, purchase a version of all this software that has a dongle (thing you plug into the USB port) so that you can install it as many times as you want. The software checks for this device and does not run unless it is there.
I think that Bytescribe could have made this clear to their customers and on the web site. Even though I am technical, this passed me by about why there was a dongle and no-dongle version. It didn't clearly state what the dongle did and why one would purchase it...until I called and asked after my purchase.
I would also suggest to everyone that the 3x install may not be part of prior licenses of the software, so I would guess that a new policy by Bytescribe does not affect software that came out before this policy and licensing arrangement. I've never bothered to check it out.
Overall, I think that Bytescribe is a great company. It is likely a small company like many of ours and cannot handle large numbers of inquiries with many variations that exist all the time. They've been very friendly to us and very responsive on all support requests. The only thing I wish they would do is add more features for more complex business interactions with multiple customers and multiple contract transcribers. The transcription business is getting more complex, especially with HIPAA and large distributed medical offices.
Really have no clue, but did you install the new RAM - sm
in the first slot? The larger memory strip has to go in the first slot, and the smaller RAM/DIMM whatever you have goes in the next slot. Is that possibly the problem?
Usually only one install per OS. Call
p
Either. Run will install it on your computer,
Save will put the program on your hard drive and you will have to find it and install the program from there.
Once installed, use the Load button to get the files to play in Express Scribe.
Can Ii install the CD on both of my computers? nm
n
Do you need to BUY Word and install it?? nm
s
cannot install Winscribe
Has anyone else had trouble installing Winscribe?
When I try to install I get the install prompt and then a progress bar, but no progress is made...I can get it installed on other PCs, but not the one I need to work on. MTSO is no help and I am out of suggestions...I have rebooted, changed web browsers, checked popups, checked security settings, checked firewall settings...I'm at a loss.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!!!
How to install a program:
Download it and save it to the desktop.
Click on icon on the desktop (setup) to install it.
Follow instructions.
I can't install mine...??? I have to keep the CD in the drive
and click on My Computer and then click on the CD drive and then click on BOS2 to open. Then I just keep it minimized. I also like it much better than the book because of the search feature!
Stedman's spellchecker. Can I install this on....
two different computers? I have a desktop and a laptop and I would like it on both but am unsure if I would be able to download it on both. May be a silly question but I am computer challenged :) . Thanks
I agree. It was very easy to install.
Mine even has pictures on it to show where to plug everything in. :)
They are very easy to install, but, speaking SM
as a fellow illiterate, is there anyone who can help you? I mean, they don't even have to know a lot about computers either, but maybe you would feel better, but, honestly, it is quite easy.
You can buy them online and I imagine they are in stores too. Some even have three ports.
Can you install Stedman's Spellcheck on both
I have never used Stedman's Spellchecker before (just Dorland's) and am wondering if it is possible to buy it and install it on both MS Word and Word Perfect.
Thanks!!!!
What brand? Does it have software you need to install?
Does it have special keys you need to program? Wireless? You may not have done a complete setup.
Can I install Windows XP on PC with Vista??
Using the old backup disks from my crashed computer?
I need to get this new laptop able to function so I can get a PT job and all seem to want XP...
Install Shorthand on the other computer, then ... sm
find the ShortHand folder in Windows Explorer on the first computer and copy your dictionaries ending with .spf and paste them in the Shorthand folder on the second computer.
You need to watch how many times you install the software
If you are just unplugging your foot pedal, you will have no problem...or did you mean something else?
You can still use WP 5.1 on Win XP computers. Just go to the command prompt and install it. nm
:
I'll bite. You did install on your new computer,
right? Because that alone is a monster problem....
Usually one desktop install and one laptop per license. nm

Install Instant Text on the new computer, sm
then simply copy your glossaries (glo files) from the Instant Text Glossary folder on the old computer to the same place on the new computer. You could even e-mail them to yourself and transfer that way.
You must install from the CD. Call IT tech support
and they can send you a new CD. The only files you can transfer are your glossaries.
I just found out you can only install Bytescribe Docshuttle 3 times!
I had no idea of this and apparently this is in the fine print of the license agreement (shame on me for not reading it!) So I have DocShuttle Client at $99 and DocShuttle Admin at $299. I have to reformat my hard drive this weekend so I will be on my third and last install. I really do not want to have to purchase this all over again because that is a huge chunk of change.
Does anyone know of any other software that I might be able to use when the time comes? I want to start my research early because I can't get myself into a bind if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
Did you just install 2003, or was it working with it before and now frozen? I have old version but
xx
Speaking of Vista, what companies have asked that we NOT install it yet? nm
s
I always choose to Save to install to play safe.
You may need to configure your foot pedal to work with Express Scribe (Settings, Control). Also, there are posts further down that deal with getting the audio file into Express Scribe. The short answer is use the Load button. Good luck!
Oops. What software do I install. Sorry to seem so stupid. I have the old style monitors and I just
plug them in.
does anyone know about a 3-limit install on DocShuttle, Wavplayer and other Bytescribe products? sm
they told me after three installs, even if I buy a new computer, I have to buy the program all over again, at $100 a pop. Has anyone else ever been told this? Sounds like a rip off to me.
And the "original equipment" part means you can only install it on one machine.
nm
free site - my computer warned me not to install - dunno about it n/m
How can I install my Dictaphone EXText shorthands in basic word?
Is that possible? If so how do you do it. I know what my ShortHand file is named and where it is saved. I am using basic word a lot and don't want to put everything in under autocorrect by hand. Thanks for your time!
Zip the entire folder and email it to yourself or save to CD and install on new computer. nm

Learned something
I never thought that many peole would want a transcript of a show especially when it was availabe of DVD or tape. That is why I did not think it would pay that well. But I learned something and always glad to do so. The last seminar that I type did not involve medical at all but was building a chip for a computer and all oriental speakers and so when I think my docs are bad, I remember that. Lots of blanks needless to say.
Have a good day and thanks for the compliment but all I know is common sense and practical sense through years of doing this.
I learned that way too, but now
nm
has anyone learned that their QA
person is using an outdated BOS ? I can hardly believe anyone taking their position seriously would do this. Am I wrong to be amazed and disappointed?
I know what you mean...you'd think I would have learned
my lesson in season 2. I would love a Taylor/Elliott finale, but I really don't know what to expect. You'd think Taylor has a big enough fan base to put him through, but after last week, I feel like anything can happen.
yes that's how I learned
how else to learn specialties?
What I have learned from VR is
that it does take an experienced and alert MT to recognize when a mistake has been made by VR. If the MT is editing too quickly or too careless when a mistake has been made by VR, and the incorrect term does sound close to what the doctor is dictating, the MT may not realize there is a mistake in the report that needs editing. This could be very dangerous if the doctors do not proofreading their reports carefully after they are returned to the system as complete.
Unless the VR technology improves substantially from where it stands now, I believe there will be gross errors not caught, which may lead to poor patient care and possible litigation.
I have been a MT since 1981 and have witnessed a lot of changes in this field. VR may appear to be an asset for medical personnel, but it may prove to be a detriment for patients. Sorry to come across as negative, just my opinion.
