Well, they can wipe it and kiss my foot! sm

I had PC Shorthand, for which I paid myself, and good money too, and before that, Productivity Plus (wasn't that the first one?), for which the company paid. Then the platform changed to software that was not compatible with P-Plus (or with transcriptionists, for that matter, LOL) and it was either buy your own or go without. And that was years ago.

Now I've heard that some MTSOs are actually charging hundreds of dollars for their software so you can work for them! First, years ago now, they quit providing you with a computer or any tech support, and then have the nerve to demand that you pay to work for them. YEE-ESH! I mean, really! I'd rather scrub public restrooms as long as the employer provided the brush! Take serious. There is a word for such blatant jerks, but it's too obscene to post, so I'll just call them "anal orifices". :D :D

In that case, I'd rather scrub public restrooms, as long as the employer provided the brush. What a bunch of rubbish.
Wipe it. And leave me alone. nm

Yes, you can format it and wipe it clean. nm

Get a cloth damp with warm water and wipe
it, if that doesn't do it, spray a citrus-based cleaner on a cloth and wipe it with that.

Kiss off that is, in too much of a hurry!

yes he wants his 10,000 MTs to be in shape in case we need to kiss

any manager's a$$.  If we lose our homes while Frank decides whether we get raises during the winter the chapstick will come in handy and we can keep the house keys as a momento of what it was like when we had a home before Frank and Greg and the other MQ crooks came on the scene and decided they were going to rob clients and MTs so they could get bigger bonuses. 


To all MQMTs


  


Love Frank


and if you think about KISS Gene Simmons..SM

Kiss' lead singer Gene Simmons is about 67-68 and with that gross tongue......(have you seen him extend this tongue on any talk shows?)...and the fact they have to paint themselves in black and white and look utterly frightening........because they are virtually a no-talent hard-metal band and have to dress this way to sell any tickets so the public never *sees* just how old these dudes look!


GO MICK, forever young.....I thought he had the body (neck down) of a 30-year-old man last night.  Obviously, some don't REALLY check out BODY and BODY LANGUAGE.  And most people are not in as great a shape as MICK even 20+ years younger and then some.....or at his age of 62.


Today's 80 is yesterday's 60, today's 60 is yesterday's 40, today's 50 is yesterday's 30, and today's 40 is yesterday's 20+.....thank goodness I'm right in one of those categories and moving along with those new age values that have been online for over 10 years that I know of, with no plastic surgery because, you see, it's only and always been about attitude in this life.  Age is merely another number. 


A big hug, a kiss, and lots of love and attention! nm

I took delicious pleasure in telling them to kiss my tail-end. nm

Hubs always comes into my office to kiss me hello or g'bye if I'm working. :) nm

I think it is decided, and you can kiss this account goodbye. I would present the sm
finished work, along with a bill, and when you expect payment.

Meanwhile, get real busy looking for something else to make it up.
4 Hershey kisses, 4 insects, the rock group KISS?? nm

Yes, good parents have nannies for their little pets, kiss their brothers
like they are boyfriends, keep vials of their ex-boyfriend's blood, bounce from relationship to relationship, and break up marriages. Not that Brad is without blame there, but married is off limits. AJ's own father has voiced concerns over her mental status.
Foot pedal? Going from VXP to applying for other companies. What foot pedal should I get that woul
I need one even just to test so it seems.  Thanks for the input! 
Where do you buy foot pedals for your transcription. Who has the best foot pedals for sale.
:
Can anyone tell me what foot
I have two and would rather not have to buy another if I can avoid it. TIA
I did it too, and now can't use my right foot

You really have to put your foot down.
I have had this problem in the past and just told people, including my kids, I get paid to type, not to talk. Unless there's a large emergency - a lot of blood, the house on fire, etc. - DO NOT BOTHER ME. For all intents and purposes, I am not home. It takes a while, but eventually they get it. Have a virtual wall around your office and tell them it is off limits. Good luck.
What is the best foot pedal?
What is the best foot pedal to have?  Which one is the easiest to set up and use and can be used with different files?  I already bought one but can not get it set up to be able to use.  Bought from Expresscribe to use with their program and have had no help.  Brought in a computer guy.  No help.  So I am stuck with this pedal and can't use it.  I am now looking to buy another one.  Any recommendations?
FOOT PEDAL
It is a USB port pedal.  It wasn't so much as they would not help me, I got aggravated waiting 2-3 days in between e-mails and trying things that did not work.  It has something to do with no driver.  So now I am looking for a universal foot pedal to make it easier for me to find a secondary account. 
One foot in front of the the other sm.
Oh honey please run don't walk, right out that door.  This man you live with is only in your life to beat you down with discouragement and lies.  Please do not allow this to continue.  You were created by one who counted the hairs on your head, is the God of the universe but he knows you by name.  He did not make you for destruction but for good.  Please take your children away from a person who would put them down, call them names and does not care one bit about their well being.  Begin to look at yourself for the wonderful, divinely created queen that you are, you have purpose and potential and this man is only there to keep you from seeing it.  The day you walk out the door and shut it a ton of weight is going to fall off your shoulders as you will begin to realize that he does not love you, he does not love anyone but himself.  You have to show your kids that you love them too much to let anybody (even their own father) treat them as less than great.  You are a woman and deserve to be cherished, protected and provided for, anything less is not acceptable.  Please go and as you do please know that myself and I am sure many other people out here are praying for you and lifting you up.  We stand in the gap for you!!  Now go girl and don't you dare look back.  Go and be fabulous!!

I have a converter I bought from Radio Shack - I have one that converts USB to 9 pin and another one that converts 9 pin to USB
Foot pedal
I am working for a company, renting a computer and foot pedal. I discovered I could use my own computer so want to send their equipment back. Their foot pedal is a 15 pin pedal. I have a 15 pin pedal of my own, looks identical to theirs. When I plug my foot pedal into the game port on their computer it does not work. I need to know what I need to do to my own foot pedal to make it work on the game  port on my own computer. I am so technologically challenged. Does anyone know what I need to do?
Foot Pedal
If you are using express scribe then change the port option inside change the port options. If you are using game port then click on the game port options inside. Hopefully it will work.
In need of 9 pin foot pedal

If anyone has a 9-pin foot pedal for sale, let me know.  Thank you!!


Foot pedals
When I was a C-phone user, I had to buy a couple replacements. It was too costly to have a repairperson repair them, and instead it was best to throw it out and buy a new one. It used to be we could open them up and clean the CONTACTS.
in-USB Foot Pedal
I am a recent graduate and looking for a job.  In the meantime, I want to be sure I have the right equipment.  I have a standard cassette transcriber with foot petal, but have been told that I should have something that works directly with my PC (mine may be outdated).  Do I need to purchase software if I buy an IN-USB foot pedal?  The equipment/software requirements are a bit confusing.  Any information would be helpful. Thank you.
Foot pedal
Sorry.  Don't know of any free one to download.  If you haven't already, you can go to your Express Scribe screen, click on Help, then click on Foot Pedal control.   It has a lot of information that might be helpful.
foot pedal
You can download the free Express Scribe software to download dictation files. I have used Express Scribe with my Infinity 9-pin serial port foot pedal and it worked just fine. I purchased my foot pedal on ebay so it wasn't that expensive because I was just starting out. You should not spend a ton of money on foot pedals in the beginning until you get a job and know what program the company you are working for uses. Not all foot pedals are created equal. Some programs require a certain type of footpedal.
foot pedal - sm

Thanks for your reply. I am not very technical when it comes to these things. So what you are saying is that in order to use Express Scribe, you have to have a 9 pin serial foot pedal? If so, I will go on ebay and try to get one since I need to test for several companies..I have never tested on line before. Thanks for your help.

I'm not the most technical person either, but you can use a USB foot pedal with ExpressScribe. I will try to include a link here to a USB pedal that shows what it works with, will not work with Dictaphone ExText. I think my choice would be USB. I do know there are a few companies out there that do require a 9-pin pedal only, but I think things are moving more and more towards USB. The lap top I just bought doesn't even have a serial port, you have to buy the docking station to get one, although I think sometimes you can use some kind of adapter. I have used USB pedal with ExpressScribe to test on it. The technical board is a good place to ask questions, too.
I had to buy a foot pedal....sm
but that is pretty common in companies who do not supply the computer. I don't remember it being that expensive, though, only around $100. What are they asking you to pay for?

Never worked with wav player before. would a lanier foot pedal work with express scribe program (as a foot pedal) instead of the million $$$ one that I can't afford.  Downloaded program but "Hot Keys" on keyboard is making me nuts.  Need advice.  Thanks.


Could be a bad foot pedal
This happened to me after I reset up my system after remodeling.  I brought in all kinds of repair people.  After my DH took the foot pedal apart, it was found that the pedal was just worn down where it connects when you press down.
foot pedal
I thought InScribe was the software. I'm very ignorant when it comes to this stuff. Will Express Scribe work with InScribe? what kind of connection do you have at the end of your foot pedal. Mine is a USB.
9 pin foot pedal help
I have used this pedal before on my computer before, it has just been a long time.  I have expresscribe, can't get the pedal to work.  I'm sure it is just a setting or something simple.  Any suggestions? 
foot pedals

If the footpedal setup wizard doesn't work it may be that your 9 pin port card has been setup to do other things (maybe games?). You need to get the driver for the card (perhaps the driver CD is lying around somewhere) or get a nerd to update the card's driver. Port settings can also be a problem. Sometimes it's just easier to switch to a USB footpedal!


You could also try Port 1, 2 etc in the settings, running through the wizard each time and see if that helps on one or the other of them. Another possibility is mechancal, the cable/socket may be damaged.

foot rest
So do you put both feet and the pedal on the foot rest?
Foot rest
I also would like to know if anyone has an idea for a foot rest.  I also have swollen feet at the end of the day.  I looked at my daughter-in-law's foot stool for breast feeding and thought it might work since it is slanted.  Off to Google this and see what I can find.
foot rest - sm
I found mine by Googling foot rest. You'll find lots of them, all shapes, sizes, and prices. I think mine came from Fellows, but cannot remember now. I love it. No more backache. Good luck with your search.

Anyone with ATSI using MT world software.  What type/brand of foot pedal do you have?

Would any of you want to be forgiven if you cheated on him?  They say almost as many  women are cheating these days as men, according to Dr. Phil and Oprah.  Even with all the troubles that we had in our marriage and the straw that broke the camel's back was the cheating, I could never bring myself to even consider cheating but everyone is different.  I don't condemn or condone women who forgive their husbands and know that every situatioan is different and until you are in that situation/shoes it is hard for you to say what you will do.   You always say a big "NO, never" but when you are presented with the situation it is amazing how many times that changes. 


 


Help with 9-pin foot pedal...sm

I use a 9-pin foot pedal on the DocQScribe platform and it is not working.   A webcam was installed on my computer and ever since then it doesn't work.  I uninstalled the cam but the pedal still is not working.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the pedal, but still it does not work.  Any suggestions?


Thanks

FOOT PEDALS

I need help quickly.  Someone gave me a foot pedal with a serial adapter.  However, there is no serial port on my new computer.  Is there any way I would be able to use this foot pedal with my new computer?  Thanks in advance for your help.


foot pedals
I had a 15-pin serial port (game port) foot pedal and when I got a new sound xcard, it no longer had the game port on it, so I was stuxck. I tried the adapter route, but it does not work bexcause of the wiring for the fast forward etxc in the pedal. I ended up having to buy a USB pedal. Alot of newer *puters don't have game ports anymore. good luk.
foot pedals
I would like to thank everyone who offered their advice. I will let you all know how the adapter works out once I get it. Again, thank you.
2 foot pedals
Yes you can; I've used as many as 3 pedals at one time, as long as you have enough ports to plug them into.
