In Reply to: Long Distance Plans - mmh
on the brochure AFTER I signed up with Bell South for unlimited long distance. It said something like it had to be voice to voice (I'm thinking not recorded voice). It's suppose to cost $20/month, but if I go over 5000 minutes, they will tack another $50.00 on my bill.
I was up front about why I wanted unlimited long distance when talking to Bell South's call center lady (from India), and she said it would be no problem. We'll see.

my only problem with that was when I read the fine-print...
the company I was going to apply for, out-sourced some company to do the checks, and if I were to sign for the check they were entitled to even go so far as to contact my landlord, family, etc., to get information on me.
Of course I was told it was just a formality and it would probably never happen, but if I signed that, this third company could do that, whenever they wanted, and for whatever reasons.
Personally, I would rather be in control of my personal information as much as I can...not that there really is 'privacy' anymore.
Even though I trusted that company I wanted to apply for, I certainly had no idea who this company was they hired to do the checks...
PS - I also did the bankrupt thing in the past, and I could not be sure this company would not turn around and sell my information to my former debtors...I mean, who knows. I do not trust people, period.
Read the fine print. Residential
long distance services, unlimited, state that is for residential calls, etc. The business plans state they are for businesses. What the are not allowing is a business rate long distance plan to be connected to a residential phone. And, of course, there is always the fine print "other restrictions may apply."
There is alot of fine print to read
in order to receive the bonus. Many MTs don't stay long enough because these companies are usually deceiving. Think about it, if it were so easy to get $500, $1000, etc. everyone would be jumping at the chance. Don't bother, it's a smoke screen
The thing is though my fine print with ATT said it could not be used for
autodialing, dialing into the internet, commercial faxing, and one other thing. I can't remember what the other thing was but it wasn't anything I was using it for. They even listed those four things over and over, and I told them I didn't use it for any of those things. They also tried to tell me I was transmitting data over my phone line. I wasn't. I was dialing into a voice line. I got tired of arguing with them too. How can argue w/them when they keep saying you're dialing into the internet when you know you're not? I guess they have to lie about something, right, because they can't tell you you're using too many minutes if it's UNLIMITED. I just think it stinks. Hopefully it will work out for all of us!
Be careful & check the fine print sm
There was a small note on the sidebar about it on my July 2008 bill and I didn't notice it until later ---
Sprint reserves the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred and to deny, terminate, modify, or suspend service if usage exceeds 5GB per month in total or 300MB/month while off-network roaming. Check your subscriber agreement rights on Sprint.com.
Right, but I'm not even seeing any fine print available for viewing by the general public. Not a

I checked into Qwest, but the fine print says if you use more than 5000 min per month, it will .. sm
be reviewed. Their business rate is per line, and comes out to $500 monthly. That's the problem with my current company. I figure I'll be using at least 10,000 mins per month. Can't get Verizon here. Any other suggestions? TIA.
Got cut off. Autodialing is what ATT calls it . In fine print vonage says no autodialing. nm

Oh yeah, you all have to read about this one (sm)
Who said ER reports were boring? I typed this one myself. A young female was standing in her tub shaving her legs, you know with one leg propped up on the side of the tub. She fainted/fell and somehow lodged the star-shaped faucet handle in the tissues of her vagina. When EMS got there she was bleeding profusely and they could not free her from it. They ended up having to cut the faucet out of the wall and bring her in with it still lodged in her vagina. She hemorrhaged and ended up coding in the ER. They resuscitated her and had to take her to surgery to get the faucet out. She was fine after that.
Yeah, I kept all mine and my daughters will get to read them when
have a bunch of them, Judy Blume, I think is the author.
Oh yeah? Go to company board and read about Heartland's layoffs.
it's really not fair to tell people to get into this business when it's obvious there's big trouble and the S--- is just starting to hit the fan...
You can print a list in the print dialog box. sm
You'll find the option in the print what section. You can probably find a macro that lists them all in a document with a web search. Otherwise, you can only print them.
Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."
And do NOT print for them! this is why...sm
you need to just send the stuff back to their office. Again don't be driving around doing the delivery thing. Explain that HIPAA doesn't want you keeping the reports any longer than necessary to do billing, so after you bill, you need to delete the reports. They need to have them in their office, to archive and keep a back up copy in case the office floods and ruins their charts. When you send them back, they can change the little things that the doc dictated wrong themselves...they don't have to wait until you have your next delivery run. So let them mess with the dumb sticky paper...or better yet, do a cost analysis that shows it is just as good to stick it in the chart with tape than to buy that paper. That way, they will be impressed with your business acumen...
wow I need to print all of this
thanks so much - no I would never work if I was at DD boyfriend's on who knows what network. I was just going to see if it worked. If I am at house with cable internet it should be as secure as mine. I don't think I would every try working at a Starbucks. The place I vacation actually has high speed internet so I could connect directly to that. Cell phone coverage is spotty there at best, so air card would probably be worthless. Thanks again - I am beginning to understand what I was afraid I would never grasp.
In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

I use ShortHand. I used to print out all of my
expansions and tape the pages all over my desk, but it didn't help. What did help was finding out from someone here that ShortHand has a suggestion box that displays your expansions for you. I remember the first letter or two, glance down quickly to see what the ending was, hit the corresponding function key, and bam! three keystrokes to faster transcribing. Instant Text has a similar feature, but I couldn't switch over to it after learning on Shorthand.
how did you get your print to be so small?
if you are for real, your best advice is read this board and take good notes.
To print list
You can print a list of all of the "autotext" by opening word, FILE, PRINT (or ALT F, P) and in bottom Lft corner in the "Print What" section select "Autotext entries" and OK. If you have a lot this will print a lot mine would do about 150 pages.
BE AWARE - This will print everything. You can print just a list of the AUTOCORRECT entries but you have to creat a macro which is not hard. This too however will print all of the autocorrects, like when it automatically changes "adn" to "and". But, if you have to have this list you can just run through and delete the normal corrections and keep a list of your entries.
If you want to email me I will be more than happy to send you the instructions and the macro. It was simple to do, just a matter of making sure the macro info was in the right spot.
Save and print
I print and deliver, save on hard drive for one year and then on CD or zip forever it seems. Finally went through and threw out files from 10 years ago.
Have a Dell 720 and the print is so
small, can hardly read. I have the zoom up to 500 on a particular page- the print on the computer huge but when it prints, back down to really small, anyone know what I can do to get regular print? TIA
HELP! HP Deskjet won't print
This has happened to me before but I do not remember what I did to fix it. Whatever I send to print will just sit there and forever say its printing but doesn't. The scanner and copier works on the *&# thing. I have tried rebooting, unpluging, etc. Nothing. HELP
If you have the capability print out
a few reports and if you can go back and listen to the dictation while following along in the report.
I started a job several years ago, having had very minimal ESL experience. The very first day they gave me ALL ESL dictators, some very challenging. I was in tears and ready to quit after the first day. The MTSO told me that I really did very well and I printed out corrected reports. After relistening I could clearly understand the dictation when following along with my sample. I couldn't believe that I couldn't hear parts of it the first time.
Doctors slur, they eat while dictating, yawn, they misspell words. As you gain experience you will know what the doctor should be saying, which should help you decipher the dictation. Leaving a blank isn't a bad thing, and it is better than guessing. If you learn from your mistakes that is good. If you continue the make the same mistakes, leave the same blanks, etc. then that isn't a good thing.
Do the bet you can. If you need help ask for it. It sounds like you need to talk to your supervisor and/or QA to get some feedback
Correct. You would not have to print it out
before faxing. You would just fax the document.
Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
There is a Print Screen Button..
at the top line of your keyboard. Press it and then go to your Windows paint and > Edit > Paste it there.
Capture/Print Screen
Another option is to hold down the "ALT" key and then press the "PRT SCR" key, then open a document (Word or whatever) and Click "Paste"... this will insert a picture of the screen into your document, which you can then save for future reference. Hope this helps. /bah
Sometimes you can pull them up in the expander but not print from there.

how do I print my shorthand entries
Anyone know how to print up all the entries in the dictionary?
TIA!
Sunny
Thank you MT stars for the beautiful print. I am going to have it
framed and hang it in my living room. I think you are doing a great thing with the Santa's House project, too.
How to print up Quickcorrect/words
In word perfect? I cant figure out how to print up my lists in QuickCorrect or QuickWords.
Please share, if anyone knows.
TIA!
What a sweetie you've got. Going to print out your
message & leave it laying somewhere so my hubby will see it :o) I'm 5' and with my chair all the way down, I have to sit on the front edge of the chair so I can reach my foot pedal. Killing my back & circulation !!
Was tickled to read the other replies. Really was beginning to wonder if I was about the only female left that was of short stature.
Just out of curiosity - where do you find clothes that fit?? I'm not only short, but small-boned, & finding it impossible to find clothes anymore that are "age-appropriate":o)
Yes there is a way to print your auto correct
There is a free download for a macro program that backs up your auto correct file. You can print it..save it..and restore your autocorrect file with it. I love it. I have 3 computers and I use this to keep all of them up to date with my auto correct entries.
I dont think I can post a link here on this board. If you email me at Loveyaheart@aol.com I will be glad to give you the link for the download.
I email it back, they print. -
So far they are running it off who knows in the future but to me it looks so weird having it go out on six pages of letterhead.
maybe corrupt print driver?
Hi,
If you are starting the fax process by printing to a fax printer, then chances are good the print driver has gotten corrupted. (Common with all print drivers.)
If this is the case, then (1) delete the fax-print driver from Control Panel | Printers and Faxes, and then (2) reinstall the print driver.
After install, send a test fax (not a real transcription) to see if the problem has been fixed.

I got a print out with color photos of my
colonoscopy integrated into the dictation. It's already here in the US
How do you print your expander list?
How do you print your whole ShortHand expansions? I knew once how to do it but cannot remember it. I was playing around with it earlier and actually lost one of my dictionaries for my current new account! I have a couple of other old accounts with useful expansions, but why did I have to lose this one! I was really cruising with my lines. How the heck does that even happen? I'm so upset about that but had to start over with putting everything back in it. I know I need to save it to backup, but still...
Thanks for your help!
Re office staff to print
No, the office staff are not allowed access to the 2 PCs and they still work with a handwritten appointment book as well as only fax facilities and no internet at work... this is the reason I have to cut & paste WP doc into Word and e-mail to doc's home e-mail so wife can e-mail the report. This is really a mess I have myself in... and Im starting to throw tantrums now! I corrected him yesterday morning on a mistake he corrected me and now its spite on his side to pay me back because how dare I take a printout from physician website with the correct spelling and show him his mistake - my reports gets marked like a school teacher grading it big circles with messages "I spelt this for you a few months ago, you should know it by now!!!" etc
How to print out Shorthand list?
I am trying to print off the words I have put in to shorthand, but I can't pull it up in Microsoft word. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? It is showing as a SPF file, whatever that is.
Print shorthand words
Try associating the file with something like WordPad. Right click on file, choose "open with", "choose program" and choose wordpad. You should be able to print it from that program.
how to print out shorthand list
I have the same problem. Mine comes up as an ACL file and when I right click to open with (Word pad, Word, or Adobe) I get jumbles boxes. Have any other ideas to help pring this list?
Thankx
How do I print what I have saved in PC Shorthand?
n/t
Are documents set to print getting hung up
.
To my knowledge, you can't print the physicians'....sm
list and I doubt they are in there by specialty, too. You can print the contents of your ESP file if you save it to your desktop and then print it. Hope this helps.
MS Word - print preview - sm
Don't know what I did, but when I "print preview" in a multipage document I now get two pages side-by-side instead of just a single page at a time.
If anyone can tell me how to change the setting, if that is what needs to be done, I would appreciate it.
Thank you
Software to auto-print files
"Isn't there some way to have the files print when I get them?"
Many offices voice this wish, and Emmaus is pleased to announce an affordable solution ($49).
When the office receives transcription (via email, ftp download, or PC Anywhere), they put those files into the folder they've told MPMonitor and Print to watch. These files can be Word documents or password protected zip files. MPMonitor and Print will unzip if necessary and print using the user's copy of MS Word.
Best wishes,

No, though my husband does use it to print out his work schedule for
but that is it. He has his own work laptop but no printer to it. Kids have my old computer to use for now but Santa is bringing a new one supposedly (Uncle and GPs say they are buying one, we will see).
Open your shorthand and the dictionary you want to print.
File menu, Print to File, save dictionary as text file. Open the text file in either Notepad or Word, then print. I always format mine into columns so as to not waste paper.
don't print for them. Send the file to their office...
you might as well start smart. Push the advantages of them having the file in their office. Doctor gave wrong physician name? No problem! They don't have to wait for you. They correct it in their own Word file. They need to archive their transcription. You however are required by HIPAA to only hold it long enough to do billing. So that is why you, smart business person that you are, send it to their office in a digital format.
1. Can anyone or everyone recommend a good medical spell checker that interfaces with Word? Stedman's
2. What about an Expander to work with Word? I know some use Instant Text, but at least one says she uses the Word Autocorrect feature. (I think.) Does the Word autocorrect hold a bunch....can you put whole reports into it...large capacity? I only use ShortHand because I have a Meditech account and Shorthand works with all Windows based applications. Some of the other ones didn't. Will defer this to other MT's.
3. You all mentioned that the docs usually supply their letterhead and to use plain copy paper for subsequent pages. Does the MTSO usually supply the paper or the docs? Same question with sticky paper...that sounds expensive!
Write a macro to put the letterhead into a header on the letters he dictates. Then they can use plain paper to print the whole file.
Think about whether he wants logs or not. They can be good (line count) but a pain. Not sure if you make any money off of it or not. Look for ways to streamline your billing, i.e. don't be telling him you will take off for the ones where he dictates his standard paragraph, etc. and make line counting a nightmare. Most of all, use what is already out there...i.e. why pay for a TASP when you can send stuff over the internet for free. Why DRIVE to deliver transcription when you can send it over the internet for free...get it?
inexpensive tips you gals can think of that can be gotten ready now besides the main transcriber? (Would want to wait on that to see which type the office uses.)
Now that I have the ball rolling, I am also going to contact the two MTSOs that I know locally and ask if they have any overflow. Might also send a sample psych report to my shrink and see if he can spread the word. Scary stuff, but you gals really helped! Thanks so much for all the encouragement!!
