Is the Dynex working okay?
It seems like none of the adapters work perfectly.
Works perfectly. Just keep it minimized while you're working. nm

Dynex adapter
Yes, I think I had to use like the COM 5 port or something in order for it to work.
I use a Dynex converter with no problems at all.
You might check out CompUSA if you have one near you that is still open, since they are having the big store closing clearance sales.
I had the same problem with the Belkin and sometimes it didn't work at all so I got the Dynex and
That was my solution, maybe someone else has had a better experience with the Belkin than I did.
You can buy adapters for the plugs. As for
the keyboard, I would go ahead and buy a new one. The one you apparently now have will ruin you for other keyboards.
keyboard adapters
I just purchased a new tower, dell, refurb, 4 gig, 320 HD, 350, vista, really, really fast. However my old keyboard was a 9 pin not usb..Picked up a adapter at staples USB with mouse and keyboard in one $33.
As far as I know there are only adapters from the DB9 to a USB and they dont work for EditScript
I tried it.. I desperately wanted to use my laptop and all it had was USB ports but my 9-pin foot pedal would not work when I got that adapter from a 9-pin to USB. As far as I knew, there are no DB9 USB foot pedal only the serial port 9 pin style that I know of.. Hopefully someone out there has figured it out for us.
Try Radio Shack. I buy my pedal adapters there. They might be able to help you. nm

Radio Shack makes different adapters just for this. If not in the store, look at their website. nm

Radio Shack carries all kinds of adapters and gizmos, too. nm

WW success
I did the flex point program 2.5 years ago and lost 25 pounds and I have 20 of it still off. I tend to go up and down by 5 pounds it seems. I still follow the points, not as strict as I use to, but I got so use to it that now its automatic for the "points" to pop into my head when I think of eating something. Its a great lifelong habit. My suggestion to anyone doing it is that you need to drink LOTS of water to really make it happen. I found the weeks that I did'nt drink my water as diligent were the weeks I would'nt loose much or at all. Best of luck to you and I am always here for support !
success!
i didn't get compensation, but i am not being forced to attend. works for me! ty everyone so much for your support with this.
EMTS a SUCCESS
Thanks for your advice. I took it! I am there and extremely happy. I posted another reply on the company board, and I will say the same thing here. EMTS has restored my faith in transcription. I am not afraid to pay the bills due now. They pay downtime, benefits, provide work, a caring and RESPECTFUL atmosphere. They are the true company of days of old. Where an employee is not a number but a person who is an integral part of the transcription process. I highly recommend EMTS to everyone reading this board. And thanks for your advice. It is highly appreciated.
Our best chance at success would come from - sm
changes in how the US taxes all employers. Instead of rewarding them with a tax break for offshoring, there should be a HEFTY tax. They should pay for the 'privilege' of using cheap labor, not get rewarded for it. If something like could get passed in Congress, it would automatically include all MTSOs. Then things might change for the better for the average American worker.
Keys to my success
Take them or leave them.
Work for yourself..not for a money-hungry MTSO who wants to use you up, throw you away and outsource your work to a foreign country.
Try to keep yourself an employee-status hourly or salaried job at all times. You can take other jobs on the side, but again, don't accept pay lower than you deserve. This is a profession and skilled career. I dare say that at least 5 (and probably more) MTs working as MTs are not truly professional MTs, as they do not have the skill level to qualify them as such.
If you are talented and outstanding in your field, all of this can be done successfully. Refuse jobs paying by production.
Again, take it or leave it, but this is how I have become successful in my career for many, many years now. I have greater than 35 years in the field and have never suffered the economic setbacks. There are some doctors who realize the value of a personal MT working for them...you just have to find them and prove yourself to them. After that, if you do the job above and beyond what is expected of you, word of mouth travels quickly between these doctors and their colleagues. Mind you, it took years of hard work to reach this point, but once you reach it, you will be a true success story.
and you're an MT? Now that's a success story!
btw, I don't believe you. You argue as effectively as a seventh grader.
anyone have success with herbal supplements?
I suffer extreme anxiety, but I order meds on line, Xanax, Soma, Buspar, so far Soma works somewhat, Buspar makes it worse, and Xanax is my dream pill along with Ativan. My online carrier stopped distributing the Xanax (probably lawsuits) and Ativan, so only Soma, which barely smooths out the edges. I only take these things when needed, cut them into fours usually and can go days without, but sometimes my anxiety attacks me like a monster and I cannot function. Lately i've been feeling depressed too and thought of St. John's Wort, bought it a couple weeks ago, but from what i'm reading on the net, i'm completely scared to use it! All these warnings out there, I just don't want to drop dead. Does anyone have success with herbs? Complications? I do not take anymore antianxiety drugs, except for Soma on occasion. So there would not be any interractions, but the idea of taking an herbal supplement makes me nervous, but I want to feel better. Also I heard Kava Kava is an anti-anxiety herb as well. Anyone out there on these? TIA.
I am very happy you are a success story...sm
I'm happy you understood about as you put it *getting your head straight* prior to the surgery. In any event, it remains always up to the patient(s) and their own habits/behaviors.
As for the Lap-Band and the constant saline fills, I like the fact post surgery that the patient is followed that closely....but that's just me 
Best of luck!!!!! 
ASR isn't successful? Its like 100% a complete success! Are you kidding?
MQs speech rec technology is sweeping the industry. Just run a Google, dear poster, and get your facts even remotely straight before you post! Radiology speech rec is a HUGE success, as well as their acute care. What planet have you been living on? It needed perfecting, and, well....Its nearly there! Post facts if you must - much better than completely false ignorant claims.
LOL...another success story! Thanks for sharing the info.

I envy you! But I am very happy at your success! Wish more of us could be as fortunate! :) nm
nm
have you had a pretty good success rate doing this?
how is the wait time? TIA
You said it perfectly........
It is very important. My son also worked part-time like so many other of his friends; he never felt different. He hung out with his friends, taught a local Bible study group through his church, played on the basketball team, and just enjoyed himself.
Anyone have success in using a website to project a more professional image?
.
What success...she is a lazy, rich HOUSEWIFE..sounds like the
successful one is her husband.
Actually, I am perfectly calm as well, but
people on this board seem rude and ready to jump on anyone for anything.... no wonder I rarely come here.
That fits perfectly
you go girl!!
Thanks much,
D
Perfectly suited to me
I love the medical field but am too squeamish to be there in person seeing the blood and guts. I am introverted and do not like interacting with most people. I work best alone with no distractions. I am a perfectionist and very detail oriented. I have excellent hand-eye coordination and can transcribe amazingly fast. I am very organized and enjoy using that skill to run my MTSO.
Being perfectly honest, I had my CMT and let it go because it
just did not make a difference in my pay. AAMT did nothing for me when I was a member and because they warmly encourge offshore transcription, I just can't have anything to do with them anymore. CMT and the new RMT are, in my opinion, a big waste of time. They do not really represent the US MT at all and I believe they're even changing their name to something that is as representative of America as what it once was.
Perfectly relaxed
Just spreading the truth. Have a good day!!
I know perfectly well that some of them are embarrassed about this sm
I can't tell you how many times I will get an ESL and they practically whisper into the phone when they speak to me, but seem normal volume if they break to talk to those around them.
I have to think that some of them are told...okay so you pick up the phone and some gal is listening on the other end...she'll help clean up your English for you, don't worry about it.
They are talking to a STRANGER who will help them out with their English...okay so a stranger is listening and will judge their English skills. I would be really embarrassed to be in another foreign country and think that someone I didn't know was listening and fixing me up to be acceptable. I think I'd mumble too.
I have had a couple of ESLs in a situation where I could ask my office manager to call over to the practice and ask that the ESL speak louder, not more clearly, just up the volume. If I can hear them, I can understand them better. The last time, I told the office manager to make it clear that I could not HEAR this fellow and NOT that I could not understand him. That would have been an insult to say that. Well, he started to speak up and was very pleased (he called in) to say that his reports suddenly started being so perfect. Yup, I could not hear you, but I could understand you.
This is not the only mumbler.
The only other thing that think we as MTs need to understand, and our employers with us, is that not all of us can do every ESL type. I can do an East Indian of most dialects, Arabs, English, German, Spanish, Mexican, but I don't do Asians well. Not all ESLs are created equal and not all of us ears for the same things. I think in the future there will have to more ways to route jobs with ESLs to MTs with the right ear for each of them.
So the aka name fits perfectly!

I am perfectly fine thank you very much!
Sorry I ever posted. And for the last time --- yes it is required here!
Her instructions are perfectly reasonable
If she doesn't want resumes submitted as attachments, that's her business and the applicants should just follow the instructions. Whether you think she should ask for pasted resumes instead of attachments is irrelevant. If you don't want to apply, then don't. But if you're going to apply, just follow the instructions. If you cannot or will not follow the instructions, that tells her pretty much everything she needs to know about you.
True, you understood me perfectly. (sm)
And some education in communication. Apparently, they are not looking at the whole picture and if they stepped out of the business they would be able to look at things from outside of the golden cuffs.
You have described perfectly my life with my husband -sm
I feel completely trapped. I'm the one supporting the family. I'm the one who takes the blame for everything that has ever gone wrong in his life, even when it comes to those things that happened to him long before I ever met him.
The only good thing he has ever done is give me two beautiful children. That's all.
Wish I could get the heck out too.
my original post was perfectly
non-attacking to anyone! But Albert, and a few others, spoke to me in an insulting, demeaning, condescending manner. So ya wanna call ME the big ol' "b" now? who cares? go right ahead! But all ya gotta do is scroll back and you'll see who started the b.s. Now guys I'm off to read the other nasty posts you guys made today. Have a good evening! xoxo
Cat, to be perfectly honest, which I think you requested, is..
I, as a MT, get the connotation. Unfortunately, I think there will be more misses than hits. Brilliant idea, but I would dig deep for another. Very best of luck to you in your new endeavor.
Perfectly rotten organization...sm
...that has prostituted themselves to the MTSOs, presiding over and encouraging the loss of jobs overseas using our dues to fund their trips and perks.
It's particularly ironic, in this setting, that the name of this pathetic organization mentions "document integrity", when their position regarding offshore transcription is the very antithesis of promoting integrity in American health documentation.
...and as for the Book of Style, words fail me.
Has anyone had good success with Weight Watchers flex point program? sm
I tried South Beach for about 10 days and have lost 10 lbs but I want something that is lifelong and to me SB is too strict....Thinking about switching over to Weight Watchers...Anyone have good long term success with it? If so, how much did you lose and how fast?
What is your point? These folks have a perfectly good right to use
VR if they want to. People have been telling us for years the technology was improving. I don't see anything new here.
Great post! Perfectly worded! Thanks! nm

Millions may have learned it, but rarely perfectly.
And learning it and speaking it are two different things. Lyndia makes a great point.
A pet peeve of mine is American arrogance in the sense that most of us don't really know a second language. Maybe we had some in high school, but most of the people I know speak one language, American English, and that's it. So we don't know how it is but we bash others for not learning it perfectly.
I don't mind the ESLs who try hard to communicate. I get ticked at the ones who don't care, and I think most would agree that it's obvious who those are by their dictation and their patient rapport.
Dont expect them to speak language perfectly.

In a perfect world, the mobile devices will work perfectly..
It will only take a few big money malpractive suits and lawsuits against hospitals for this standardized text and free text to be proven to be inadequate documentation. Do you honestly believe Joint Commission and insurance companies will relax their standards for health care documentation? I could be very wrong, but I'm not throwing in the towel yet.
Don't give dates. Just summarize your experience. I'm perfectly comfortable with this.
Heading out of town, you guys all have fun while I'm gone!
The speller works perfectly fine so if you are having problems contact me and I will
My email addy is admin@mtstars.com. Free or not, it's a great software, so perhaps you just need some assistance.
Wish Escription would mention that when they recommend the adapters or just recommend the one. nm
So what do we do, not trust?
I too went cross country twice at 17 and 19. Met lots of good people. It is just an unfortunate thing that happened and you cannot blame the girl. So what do we do, not trust men anymore? This boy and his two friends know what happened. My prayers and thoughts are with Natalees family.
Hi Trust Me...
If you send me your e-mail address we can talk off-line. We have been with MDI about the same time. Do you do radiology or acute care? I do acute care and this winter we had a lot of weekend bonuses on my account which was short staffed. If you post a question like below on this site, you will not get the answers you need. I am sure I can help you if you send me your e-mail.
