Once I got a special deal on a week at a condo on Vegas and I guess I didnt see the fine print or misunderstood when it said "internet connection availability." I assumed I had an internet connection but Noooooo what they meant was that it was available but at a computer IN the lobby and I'm pretty sure the other guests didnt want me to take over the computer with my headset, foot pedal for all day .. LOL.. I learned my lesson to specificaly ask if I would have an internection connection IN MY ROOM..That was a nerve wracking 5 days. This workaholic freaked out not being able to work, although I know it was good for me to actually take a real break from ALL work.. it forced me to ..darn it

If you want to work on the internet from home, take an internet course
But only from Andrews School or M-TEC. Many companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement and will test and hire you if you go to either of those schools. Do NOT bother with At Home Professions, Penn Foster, US Career Institute, or ESPECIALLY Trans-Am, which is also known as Trans-SCAM and is a total ripoff. You will have a VERY difficult time getting hired without experience unless you choose Andrews School or M-TEC. Yes, they cost more, but that's because they are excellent training programs, not "correspondence courses."
internet away from home
HI,
There is another choice rather than an internet card. I use my cell phone. I have intervent access on my cell phone and used to toggle to the PC via USB but now do it through Blue Tooth on the phone. Had to purchase a Blue Tooth adaptor for PC and now I am mobile completely. I have even worked in the car while husband drove. It is pretty impressive I think and my cell phone company has never had any issues with the internet being down, not once so far.
Good Luck
Home Schooling Via the internet
That is what I love about home schooling my son via the internet. We have an office here in town and they have 2 days a week where you can bring your child in if they need help or just to be able to work around and meet the other kids in the area. Here is the link to our local chapter and below that is the link to the main company.

Kids at home? What ages and do you limit their internet usage?
We have a 15-year-old that is limited to 1 hour on the internet when school is not in session, and we have parental controls that allow us to see everything she has done while she was on line.
What about your household?
Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet? Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Download antikeylogger from download.com.
I haven't tried it yet, but it's got good reviews and a 10-use trial.

My kids have suffered greatly from me working at home with them home. SM
I have been working at home as an MT since my two kids were born. They are now 4 and 5. In the first few years, I had no help whatsoever. Their father was a bum who didnt work or take care of them while I worked. Your children get neglected while you work basically. And babies and young children desperately need your attention while they are home with you.
My kids have so many behavioral problems right now because of their neglect. I would try to set them up with things to occupy themselves, like coloring or a movie, etc.
I finally put them in day care and things have improved, but there are still a lot of issues because of the damage that was done. They still try to seek attention by doing bad things and they dont listen to me because they are so used to me letting them get away with a lot of stuff because I was too busy typing to discipline them in their early years.
If I could do it all over again, I would definitely have put them into day care from the very beginning.
My advice would be to seek PT care for your baby. Maybe you can do some work around her schedule a little when she is home, like when she takes a nap, and then bang out a bunch of work while she is in day care.
I enjoy being alone at home, but I've got one home sick from school already.
One on one with a kid is nice, too.
This summer has been absolutely crazy. I haven't had a moment to myself for three months because all of my kids were home traipsing their friends through the house and yard. My husband switched his work schedule, too, so he's around more than usual. However, I like not having to do two loads of dishes and four loads of laundry a day. There are no toys or clutter dragged out everywhere. I can clean the house first thing in the morning, and it stays clean until everyone gets home at night.
I even got to relax with a cup of coffee and watch TV for half an hour this morning, something I liked for a change instead of cartoons or kids' movies. I signed up for an online class that I've been wanting to take. I can exercise without being interrupted. Yesterday, I went to the mall and spent all my saved up gift cards. I got some clothes, books, bath stuff, and a new coffee mug. My work gets done a lot faster, too. Call me nuts, but I've never had the luxury of being alone in the house for 14 years. It's kinda nice. I love my family with all my heart, but I love having a few hours to myself each week, too.
Except now the cat and dogs have been acting weird since the kids went back to school. They must think that I need someone or something to clean up after and correct behavior on. They're getting into everything and racing around the house behind me.
my take is that she worked inhouse, not at home, and now wants to find out how to work at home. nm

Forget "per line." Your take-home pay should be taking home SM
roughly what it was before. If it is not, is it because your current pay rate for editing (which in many companies keeps changing as the VR system is developed) is too low or is it because your talents and skills are more for speed typing than speed editing?
If the first, discuss it with higherups, and go get a new job if you don't get the response you need. My last MTSO was secretly refiguring how production was counted to pay us less. I can accept hard reality, it was the secrecy that burned. Sometimes, though, it's just that the learning curves of individual editors and that of the system aren't in sync, and you end up temporarily making less.
If the second, though, recognize it as soon as possible and change to straight transcription work, in your company or a new one, for as long as you can find it.
As for why we aren't paid more for a higher skill, that's just the way the labor supply ball bounces. Best wishes.
I think she means she has wireless TO her home, not IN her home..nm

hospital at-home -vs- national at home
I have an interview today with a hospital...work in-house for 3 months, then go home, paid on production. I don't know as of yet what they pay production, so my question is to anyone who works for a hospital at home AND has also worked for a national at home...
Which would be the best to choose? The hospital offers great benefits, but the national I work for now also has benefits, not as good as the hospital, though. Any input would be most appreciated!

You can download
Express Scribe for free if you need it. It works great.

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know where to go to download the sony digital voice Editor 2? This is supposed to be a free download. I need it to start a new job, and I can't find it. Help anyone?
download
Rebecca,
Are you the former surgery tech? Just curious because I saw your previous emails. No matter. I don't know where you'd find what you're looking for, but I just want to say congratulations on the new job!!!!
download
yeah, t'is I. thank you very much NN. it's an oncology account. don't know too much about that but I'll give it everything I've got.
Rae, what are your download and ...
upload speeds, and what satellite company are you with?
You may want to download
The voice file onto your hard drive first, and then load it into Express Scribe.
I did download it, but
I cannot get it set right as far as rewinding back far enough. Any hints? Thx.
where did U download it from? NM
Thanks all I will download it!
nm
will need to download...
This has happened to me before. You will have to go the website and download the codec in order to play you wav files. Cannot remember how I did it, but once you find the download you should be fine. You could just do a search on Express Scribe codec to find the download.
Good Luck---I use Express Scribe also.
download them
yes, you need to download them. Create a folder on your desk top named something like voice files. Then download them to that folder.
Download again
Have you tried removing Express Scribe and downloading it again?
I use this website:
http://www.nch.com.au/in/ggscribe.html
Then go to near the bottom of the page and click:
Download Express Scribe for Windows (Primary Server - zip file)
Some of the other downloads cause the problems you are having. Let me know how it goes.
I have tried that and I can download it....sm
but they said I have to be able to play sri files which you have to download additional stuff to do. I tried that and still wouldn't work. Then she sent me her version she uses and it had that gid file on it and my computer said it didn't recognize it and couldn't download. So it isn't just ExpressScribe, it is other stuff too to enable sri files.
Try a download at Download.com
They used to have a free recorder that would work on the PC...and would be wav file which works in Express Scribe
Wow! That is awful. My first download did take a
but NOTHING like what you experienced (maybe 3-5 minutes instead of almost immediately for me).
So it probably really depends on where you live, etc., and no good way to predict just how bad it would really be.
Were your ADT searches really bad too? Probably took me twice as long as usual, so pretty frustrating, but not totally unbearable. And the fact that the other reports were downloading in the background while I was working on the current one did make things go smoother than I had expected for the short period of time I lost my DSL and had to use dial-up.

upload/download...
i know nothing about wireless -- but with DSL mine were taking only about 15 seconds when i signed on. Then i got a replacement machine and it was back to about 5 min to do the initial upload. Tech support said there were problems with the new DQS version, so my replacement machine was reverted to old version. Don't know if any of this is helpful, but that's all i can offer...
You do not download the program onto the
floppy to transport, just your active working file which is called a dictionary file (SPF I think.) You download the program onto your computers and then just transport the dictionary file between them.
You can increase the amount a floppy can hold by creating a directory (or directories) on the floppy and then copying the files into the directory. If you do not do this, the computer has to put all the extra data required for a directory file onto each file you load to the floppy.
So, on your a: drive, you create a file called SH. Then copy the dictionary into that file. You can copy multiple dictionaries onto that file if you want.
You can download to computer. Yes,
if you have a license, you can put it on all your machines. Then you just copy the dictionary file onto a floppy and carry it with you and load into the machine you are using.
Stedman download sm
It is very simple and they remind you each day you have X days left, 10 in all. They don't list a price but I am told it is $179, don't know. Works very well but they should post their prices.
This may be funny, but you have to download something.

I tried the sylcount download too and
I did not care for them. I went with Spellex. Good program. Don't have to save files to any rtf. format, just doc. works good. They have a free trial too.
where did you download the files too. Look for wherever
they are, desktop, my documents, etc. Not sure what program you are using to try to get them to play, but you can download ExpressScribe free (google for URL) and then pull up reports out of where ever they are.
You can't download it free any more. You have to buy it now. NM

Thank you. I did not download it but I still cannot find it. sm
It is just when I have to turn up the volume to hear dictators who don't speak very loudly, then it hurts my ears when I forgot to take off my headphones while spell checking, etc. Thank you though.
I use scribe.net and then download
it onto express scribe. It works well.
Download from Medquist
I think the original poster means the download Medquist made available for employees. I'm not aware of the BOS being made available in that format by those who hold the copyright.
Download ES and see. If not, you can always Uninstall it. nm
s
correct, so that others could download them. nm

Yes, I did download the codec,
but it still didn't work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I just clicked on it, it downloaded, I clicked open, it says it's installed, tried a .dss file, shows 00:00 duration, and then Express Scribe deletes it. I don't get it.
I'm having my tech guy look for free conversion programs, but he hasn't found anything yet.
Download them wherever you want onto your computer - sm
presumably into a file on your C drive. I download from Metroscript into a folder I have called MS voice files. Then I just open my Bytescribe, and then open up the file I want to "open" and play. I am sure you can do it the same way with ExpressScribe. My folder is not in the Bytescribe folder, it can be anywhere on your computer. It is not hard to do. You can set MS up to download to the same file every time though so that makes it a lot easier too.
You pay them quarterly. You can download
forms from IRS website. If you have a spouse you can have extra taken from their check instead of paying quarterly.
Thank you! She can't download the file to sm
use the player from there, right? She needs the actual disk in order for this to work correctly? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just not familiar w/it and didn't find an actual download for the ability to play the files.
Where can I download Java
Do you happen to know where I can get Java?
Then you will have to download manually from then on. nm
//
You can pay and download on line. But SM
do your homework, research here and on productivitytalk.com, and then and buy the one that sounds the best for you. Don't let price be a factor in your decision. They're not that expensive and a professional-grade program is THAT important to your work.
but do you download from a TASP?
