my QA person says the correct way is....
if you use q.4 h., that is how you type it, not q.4 hours, or every 4 hours as a lot of hospitals are going to. But, given BOS a year and the need to sell more books, they will come up with something and the sheep will follow.
Your QA person is correct. More thoughts inside.
First of all, these aren't petty issues at all. These are all style issues I'd insist be followed by everyone transcribing, not just you. However, it's not often that I see your style preferences these days, I tend to find them in MTs who aren't formally trained or have been transcribing a long time without much QA guidance, so I'd be very surprised to find that "all" of the other MTs weren't adhering to the rules and were doing things your way.
My advice would be to buy the BOS2 and try to follow the rules, develop a close and cooperative relationship with your QA person, and don't worry about what others are doing. Chances are, if they have been asked to follow rules and aren't, their next review won't be pretty. If my MTs don't follow the rules after being asked to twice, these are all minor "dings" on reviews.
Happy St. Pat's!

Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

Do it correct always. It will learn. Everyone has to do it correct all the time. nm

When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.

If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.
One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
What version of IT are you using?
And what application are you using IT with?
You may want to email IT tech support directly.
Kind regards,
Kristen
What version of IT are you using?
What version of Instant Text V Pro are you using? Do you have your linking options established?
To find out what version you are using, double-click on the blue title-bar in Instant Text and then go to Help and About Instant Text. There you will see the exact version and built date that you are using. If you are using Instant Text V Pro but do not have a built date of October 2005, I would suggest downloading the latest revision from our website so you are using the most up-to-date version.
If you are using a previous version of IT, such as IT 3.0 or IT 3.5, I would recommend upgrading to version V Pro.
Also, please leave a message when you call so we can help you. If you do not get a tech on the phone, it is because we are on the other line helping other IT users. You can always email us directly if you need help as well. 
Kind regards,
Kristen
Maybe my version is too old
My Stedmans Spellchecker the is 2004 so maybe it is too old. I sent an email to Stedman support and they sent one back stating that they do not guarantee that their programs will work with Vista. My electronic Stedman dictionary works though. Thanks for your help
What version?

Version 4.16
I agree. I also have the newer version (4.16) and it plays dss files just fine for me, too.
the version of CS I use does NOT
use my version of Word. It is it's own separate platform and my autocorrect entries do not work in it. I will either use ShortHand or just copy and paste into my Word.
try this version
There was a similar discussion Friday, and someone provided a link to an older version of ES. I think this link takes you to that message.
http://forum.mtstars.com/main/v/1/98415.html
Maybe on your version
But on mine, which is Microsoft Word 2002, it is squares, not circles.
Well, gosh... I guess everyone might not have the same thing!
same version
I have the same version.
thanks for the information...We just started using this a few months ago, but it just seems like there is no communication anymore with this job other than what work is avaialble and the mistakes you make...but I'm just going to start asking more questions. My supervisor told me we are absolutely not allowed to type in Word...I tried it with one account that they said I could, and then she said to stop because it was messing things up. So, I don't know what's up with that.
Have a good night...and thanks again!
which version? sm
we had Meditech magic and used Instant Text abbreviation expander. How about canned text? I had a lot of full routines in canned text that really helped.
Version 3
version 3. Thanks for your help. I type directly into Meditech.
what version?
We were on 4.6 and you entered R and the date and then hit look up, the best I can remember. but we were inhouse and could also go under drafts or signed under order entry if we could not remember the name. Circumstances were probably different for us.
yes, not sure what version you are but sm
Under Tools click on customize, then click on keyboard. Then choose Format under the category window, then in the command window, find Format Bullets and Numbering. Now choose your keyboard command (like CTL X)and make sure you are not already using that for something important! Then put your new command in the press new shortcut key window, then click assign. Hope this helps!
I believe I am using version 7.0.
I know when I started on ASR, I had to call Dictaphone and have them download an upgrade or patch to my current program.
Version 7.5
We have 7.5, and I am fortunate that the function works; alt , changes the case of the next letter to a small letter. Wishing there were a blog board or somewhat to share experiences. I feel lost out here with this system in trying to boost productivity.
Which version of Word are you using?
If you are using Word 2003, I HIGHLY recommend you disable autocorrect and anything that would automatically insert anything based on an expansion system within Word. There is a known problem (on MS-Word's end) that these 2 programs compete for expansions and Word can lock up, causing you to lose up to your entire report. I've been in touch with several people trying to resolve this issue but it is on Microsoft's end, not Smartype. Any prior version of MS-Word does not have this issue. Just be sure you don't have the same expansions set up for both Word and Smartype. I loved my ST with Word 2000. I'm on a platform where I can no longer use ST but I am slowly importing all my entries into a different expansion program.

Why XP-Professional version?
Just wondering why companies require us to have XP-Pro now instead of home edition?
I use primoPDF version 2.0 (sm)
There's a new 3.0 version out, but I haven't tried that one. Here's a link to the old PrimoPDF 2.0 version, if you are interested. Both versions are free.

Smartype - this is the old version, not the one - sm
that works with MSWord or regular Word Perfect. It is hard to come by, got mine on ebay years ago, love it though. Took me forever to get it to work with XP but I figured it out and it is a lifesaver.
MS Word version
What version of MS Word are you using and do you have it and Windows (not VISTA--extext not compatible with Vista) upgraded? This should have been checked when tech support did original install for you but maybe they didn't check. Make sure your operating system has all upgrades it should and that MS Word has all the upgrades it should, too, then reboot, make sure nothing opens up or is open after you reboot. Then go to Windows Explorer, C drive, then docnet (these are your ExText Word Client folders). You are going to do a clean install, so delete the following folders and no others: Dump, offlinedoc, recovery, templates, transnet, workinggroup. If you delete the entire docnet folder you will delete all of extext and will NOT be able to reinstall, so only the folders above should be deleted. Reboot again. You also want to make sure you don't have any old temp files sitting on your hard drive; these can affect how your programs run. You can check this by doing a search on your C drive (assuming drive is C), for *.tmp. Make sure again that nothing is opened and delete those files. I would do this after deleting the above folders but before reinstalling Extext. Make sure nothing opens up again or is opened, and reinstall Extext again. This should clear things up for you, and if that doesn't work, I would definitely contact tech support. Extext is not supposed to work right if you open up Word first. Extext should be opening Word for you, sometimes you can get a runtime error if you exit from the VPN before extext has disconnected.
Even though you exit from Extext, and you should never exit using the X in the corner, it takes a few seconds for the last file to upload, so it is better to exit from extext, leave the vpn connected, check email or do somthing else and then disconnect the vpn. Also, if you were doing a control S to look at a document and left that document open, then control N'd your working document, and then tried to start a new document when the screen pops up, you will get a runtime error.
Not in my version of Word...?
I do not find "speller type" option/window where you are saying it should be - ?!  BTW, I have uninstalled Word Pro and gone back to plain old Word 2003.
Since it is a trial version...
They may only allow you to play their pre-loaded files and not add your own. Why not try the Express Scribe player--it really is free. Link below.
Paper version
I don't like having all that "stuck" on one PC just in case they crash. Good luck!
I like the 2005 version, old I know, (sm)
but I didn't like the fact that you couldn't get it on the toolbar and it did not seem as user friendly as 2005.
I have the printed version, and it's not very useful. (n/m)

Different version, maybe? Mine's 4.10 nm

I use the preferred version just
I used the standard version for a while and it sucked. The preferred version however has been just fine. Bought mine on ebay.
do you use the medical version or just
the basic version I am seeing for under $100? Can the basic version be taught and used for transcription? Thanks!
Which version of emdat are you using?

Use older version
Thanks Renee. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled so many different versions and none of them work. I tried to convert the .dss file using that convert program, I forget what it is called, it's free from NCH, but it wouldn't convert it. But I will try it again and let you know what happens. Thanks again for your ideas.
I used the free version..nm
