Re-recording dictation....
HI,
What does it entail to re-record dictation. I noticed an ad placed that required this. What do you need and what is the easiest way to go about it. Thanks.
Does pathology dictation always have LOUD background noise?
I went for an interview and I was given some trial dictations regarding gross specimens and the background noise was HORRIBLE. There was more background noise than dictator's voice. I asked about that and was told "Oh, that's the way it has always been. The lab is just noisy." I inquired further and they admitted the doctor uses a speaker phone type arrangement and the noise of the ventilating fans, electrical equipment, etc. is what creates the overpowering background noise. But the lab director insisted that there was no other way, as they doctor needs both hands free when cutting up the specimen. Is that true?
doctor office dictation
Does anyone out there know of any companies who do doctor office dictation instead of clinic work or acute care? I am looking for work and I have 25+ years experience in doctor's office transcription in many fields, but all the ads I keep seeing are only offering acute care or clinic work. All the clinic accounts I have checked into put you in a pool and you never get the same doctor twice, so you don't have a chance to get familiar with them or get your speed up when typing. There has to be companies out there who have doctor office accounts that consist of just a few docs. Any names come to mind?
Trust me, I thought about it, but yappy seems mean.
I don't want to get bitten. And who knows what the "door lockers" would do if I actually stepped foot in their yard.
I'm giving it another week and then I'm calling the animal control officer that works for our local Humane Society so that he can come over and talk to them. No names involved that way and I've had neighbors all around tell me they can't stand it either.
Poor little pup. I can't imagine tying my dog out like that. Like I said in my earlier post, I wouldn't even get a dog until the backyard was fenced in. He also has a "doggy door" and has been very well trained. Even if he does get out of the fence if someone leaves the gate open, he sits and whines (not barks) at the door as if to say, "Helloooo, I'm not supposed to be out here."
AND, despite the fenced in backyard, we take our dog for walks too. The yard is only so big and he needs regular exercise.
Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have a dog.
Probably staining the new fence we put up to keep our dogs in and other dogs out.
The neighbor dog won't stop trying to attack our dogs, so we put up a nice big fence. Should do the trick. Doesn't keep the rabbits out, though. We'll BBQ, too. Can't go far. Hubby is on call for the weekend with his job.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

re-recording
I am trying to figure out how to record to my computer. I can record the dictation from the phone but don't have a clue as to how to transfer it. I just bought a Sony voice recorder, digital and PC link gadget. I have a WAV pedal installed and tried to transfer to a file but really don't know what I am doing! Can anyone help with this???
re-recording
I am recording to a hand-held Sony digital recorder that can be connected to my computer and somehow downloads the dictation. You have to choose a file type and because I have a Start Stop pedal I chose a .WAV file. Nothing happened and I really don't know what I am doing. Instead of spending the $50 I should have bought a used transcriber/recorder!
Re-recording from C-phone
Hi!
Can anyone tell me how to go about re-recording from a C-phone onto a microcassette player? Is this possible?
TIA!
help with recording off line please...sm
Okay dating myself, but many eons ago when I worked for YOG we recorded the work off line onto a hand-held microrecorder and then used a regular old transcriber to do the work. I know I had a grey and a black cord and the only other thing I can find is my index card telling me that I dial in on my Dictaphone...black cord is in the ear phone and grey cord is in the microphone...that is it.
I now need to record work off line for a few weeks and can not find my cords (was 8 years ago) or how I did this.
Does anyone else record off line onto a tape to do at a later time or some place else? I really am at a loss and the one guy at Radio Shack was not much help either...
ANY HELP REALLY APPRECIATED
DotMT
She still has to meet TAT and recording
not a good idea. What if that report is recorded off and the hospital/office needs access to it right away? If she is off somewhere with it on a tape, that could be a huge problem.
IC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to do! And if recording makes the sound quality such that you cannot produce an accurate report, then I would think that would be unacceptable.
Re-recording via C-phone
C.J. We were doing rerecording with C-phones all the time, years ago. I'm sure it can still be done with ease. It takes time to do it, but there are much easier ways to get the info off of a Dictaphone system these days if the client is amenable.
Funny - this is the major topic of most of my discussions when I first came on line with MT Daily, then MT Stars on the tech boards. Time goes by and the questions remain the same. Is Kent Lenox anywhere around on the boards?
Digital Recording
I need some help on setting up digital recording - I currently use the mini-cass and my clients are wanting to switch to digital recorder. Right now they mail me the dictation tapes, I type them, and email back the work. Can some one tell me what equipment I would need and how I would get the voice recorder file to my computer? I have read a couple of places on the internet and I am more confused now than previously.
Electronic sound recording (nt)
When recording a macro in MS Word
what do you do in order to be able to jump from heading to heading; i.e., how do I get from HISTORY: to FINDINGS: ? Thanks for your help.
Docs with laptops instead of recording sm
It's happening, docs typing in only what they feel necessary as they see you and your PMH only as necessary, you may have been through a lot in the past but don't think they care, they only want what they can efficiently store & do themselves. That's a fact! It's sad!
I have a good friend who is a recording artist. I could have SM
any of his music free, and I always get to hear it before it is even on the CD. I could bum music from him or his family any time, but I won't. It is how he makes his living.
I think it is stealing.
Recording files from C-phone to tape???
Hi, has anyone ever recorded files from a C-phone onto cassette tapes? I have an account that is accessed via C-phone. I am going to be going out of town for a couple days and wanted to record some work to take with me. Can this be done? I have a Lanier micro-cassette player and a Dictaphone C-phone. Is there an attachment of some sort that could accomplish this? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Electronic sound recording replaces court reporters these days. (nt)
Call your doctor - this is not a doctor forum! nm

Background
On microsoft word - My background is white, and I would like to change it to a darker color. The white is too bright and hurts my eyes. I had done it once before, but forgot how to do it. I do remember doing it through Control Panel?
Thanks
Yes, I keep it low in the background. nm

not sure your background
but if i understand, you've had your training and can't get a job yet? If that is the case, i would highly recommend working on-site in a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital to get on-the-job experience before trying to work at home. I've been at this 30+ years and THAT is the way to get started, and have a good start.
Has anyone ever done a background check?
Do you really get all the info that they say you can? If you have, where did you get it from? I'm trying to get some info on a spouse of a married friend who is acting REALLY weird right now.
Thanks
I think they should do a background check also. nm
nm
yes, they definitely do a background check. - sm
Look, if you were to work in a hospital, wouldn't you be required to have a drug screen and background check??? I have worked in 8 hospitals, and about 6 of them required that I have a drug screen and a background check.
I don't understand why "Desperado" got so worried about the whole "physical and drug screen and background check" statement with Diskriter. Hmmm... maybe she has something to hide.
Her background? I cannot name the number of
Master-degreed nurses I have worked with and done transcription for who are not able to annunciate or spell terminology and medications, etc. When I would ask them about their dictation, they wouldn't even know what they were reading off on simple radiology and lab reports, etc. It was shocking.
Her "background" does not necessarily give her what she needs. Whether she needs to make haste on an MT school/course depends truly on how competent of a student she was in her nursing studies.
What's the background/motive?

Music in the background
I have to turn on my music in the background. It is just distracting enough to force me to focus on my dictator..sounds crazy doesn't it?! That is for the boredom. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm not working and my mind is just drifting off. For the inconsistent income, I have a side income not involved in MT and when things get slow here, I just switch my focus to my other at-home business. Good luck to you!
background check
I am in school and want to know if a misdemeanor-disorderly conduct-from 11 years ago will affect me getting hired as an MT. Also I have a recent arrest(a year ago) but it was dismissed-DH and I fought and ended up being the one to go. They even sent me to victim's class. We have been to therapy, counseling, etc. I am an A student and never had anything but good employment history. I am in school now and stressed out about whether this stuff will affect my job placement. Any advice?
Background color
How do you change the background color. I want a blue background and blue text???
Background check
Anybody know if Milner transcription out of Georgia does a background check?
What is your background enabling
How many years of experience do you have? What school did you attend? Your post comes off sort of "above all". QA is just that in my opinion. If not for the blanks, you wouldn't have a job lady.
I think with just the limited background you have had
probably will need more training to do the 4s. Some folks say they just started in it but places looking for experience, most of them anyway. You might find a place to hire a newbie. The 4s mean everything so you have to be versed on any kind of medical dictation they can throw at you.
Background noise!
Have to voice my very, very most reviled pet peeve about transcription, and it seems to be getting worse. The nurses gabbing, cackling, gossiping, laughing in the background. Makes me crazy. Thankx 
a little more background info
I was an MT for 12 years, enjoyed it, and did very well at it. I worked in hospitals doing all types of clinical (H&P, disch summaries, progress notes, all types of surgeries, etc) transcription including radiology (6 years) and a little pathology. The main reason I left was for job security.
background checks
If the company uses the information found in background check so verify identity, its okay, but if they do it to check for convictions of certain crimes, I think they should not use crimes that were not computer-related against individuals. If you got arrested for shoplifting when you were a teenages, I dont think it should be used against you 30 years later. Is there anyone out there who has ever gotten let go because of information on thier background check that involved a conviction??
Don't have to submit to background check, BUT
Sure, you can refuse a background check, but you won't get the job offer, either. Rights or no rights, the employer still holds all the cards on this one.
Is your background in acute care?
Sounds like your experience may be in clinic and you are testing for acute care. Is this the case?
And....HE'S OFF (galloping horses in the background)!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Wow! At least I can understand his English this time!
some nationals do a background check - sm
I know for a fact that Diskriter does a background check. They do this because they are giving you a computer, as well as the fact that you are going to possibly be on accounts that give you access to patient information, i.e. SSN/insurance numbers, address, etc. This is, and has been, a fact that there have been transcriptionists that have committed identity theft in the past.
What color is the background of your screen for
nm
changing background colors
1. Click on Start | Control Panel | Display | Appearance | Advanced
2. Cick in the White box that says "Windows Text"
3. Under Item you'll have Window and under Color 1 you'll have you're bright white.
4. Click on the down arrow and either pick one of the colors you see or click on Other.
5. Click on the white box (lower right) and on the far right a bar will appear that goes from bright white to black. Click down the bar a little bit at a time until you get the color you like. You'll see the colors change in the COLOR box. When you have the color you like, click "Add to Custom Colors" and then click OK. Click OK twice more.
You have now changed the display on your screen alone. Whoever you send the file to will see it according to their settings.
Doesn't help with background noise.
I have been using Turtle Beach for quite a while now. It does help clarify the actual dictators voice with normal settings; however, if you start messing with the background noise reduction settings all it will do is distort the dictators voice. Trust me. I have played around with the settings alot b/c one of my docs likes to rattle his x-rays around as he looks at them. Ouch! My ears!
Escription background color? HELP! sm
How can I change the background color on Escription? I'm running it with MS Office 2003 if that helps/makes a difference. The white is causing some serious eye strain and by the end of my shift my eyes are burning and I have a headache. If I can change it to a different/duller color it might helpl.
THANKS!
Sounds like something running in the background is
taking focus away from your Word program. Do you have Windows indexing running? Does your antivirus run when working in Word?
Background (radio), but I would love to know
if you can have it on your computer, headset, while working. I do not know how to do that, but it would be great to have classical in the background of the dictators!
hoped to use the speakers in background
instead of having both come through the headphones. Would probably have to have two soundcards or something.
I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
Background checks on MTs fro third world countries?? LoL. Are you serious? nm
:+
I always have satellite radio playing in the background. sm
There's a good variety of relaxing music. I have it on even when I'm not transcribing.
I think it also relaxes my dogs cause they sure sleep well when it's on:)
