it comes with the software to upload the dictation to office computer, most come with docking station, etc. then you'd need a program that would encrypt the files like hypersend or cryptext or something to that matter to return the work to them. you can also get efax for free and someone in the office can fax you the pt lists that comes into your email or fax, whichever you choose.

sorry. check out PTalk like the other poster suggested. nm

I agree with the other poster who suggested
finding an hourly MT at home job. I worked at home for our local hospital during my first several years. There are still MTSOs and hospitals that hire people at an hourly rate at home. Good luck with it.
This is quite morbid, but it was suggested by a poster in another forum that
perhaps knowing the great loss of life that will occur among those who were unable to leave the city, the govt believes this is the easiest way to contain the bodies.
It is obvious the local govt and the residents never believed this would happen. Did you see the reporter on Fox interviewing people on Bourbon Street having hurricane parties and joking about being drowned?
You might want to check out Consumer Reports 1/08 magazine, had article about ins and suggested visi

Found the original post about the Olympus WS110 - do I need olympus software to convert the files?
nm
I suggested it before. There should be one
test through that testing site, then they could archive our results. Companies could access the data as needed. It takes quite a bit of time to do each test for each company. 
Not sure where this was, but someone suggested here
that you contact the drug reps and see if they will help you. Most of them travel around to all of the clinics/doctors offices in the area and will know who is looking for workers... Again, not my idea, just thought it was a great one and am sharing it.
Ok, so have done what the first suggested but
how to clean the heads?
ME TOO! ROFL That's why I suggested it!!
Mom's know best, huh?! :)
you are the one who suggested shooting herself --sm
which seems more nit witty to me than asking what kind of flowers you like, in response to that dumb of a question. I have had two relatives take their own lives in the past six months, and one was by shooting themselves. I dont't take those kinds of remarks flippantly. Perhaps a better choice of words on your part would have elicited more empathy and helpfulness. I know computer problems can be stressful, but gees, what a solution that is! and I didn't call YOU any names.
Here is one somebody suggested. I haven't used it yet. (sm)
http://www.eneel.com/
Two different doctors suggested it to me.
I tried it for a while but found myself slouching anyway. It is fun sometimes to sit and bounce or lean while typing. My office is just really small, so I had to put the ball in the living room when I wasn't using it. The kids would play with it. Really annoying because they're teenagers and their version of "playing" involves throwing the ball at each other across the room. I deflated the ball and it's in my closet.
To those MTs who suggested the FTP (free) software SM
Thank you so much! DH downloaded it, installed it, and I am transferring files with no problems....something the IT department of this MTSO couldn't do in six weeks of haggling!!! So thanks to those of you who helped out - it was GREATLY appreciated!
I've suggested before that perhaps you all might come up with a day & time
that you could all meet up in chat every week. Why don't you all discuss it and let me know. I will make a post on what you decide.
What would be a late fee or percentage suggested?
I think your idea is excellent. Other companies do this. Why can't ICs? Of course we can. But how do you decide on the late fee amount? Certain percentage after a certain number of days. What is the usual company procedure on this? Does anyone know.
My husband is an attorney and suggested the same thing to me once.
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos152.htm
It definitely sounds more promising than MT but it does also sound like you'd be back to Square One with training/schooling.
It may be well worth it.
Best of luck whatever you decide!
Try bran flakes - vet suggested - worked for me (and my dog)
Thanks. I had to change the way I was viewing the site and then tried what you suggested -sm
and it seems to have worked. Now I just need to see if I can get Express Scribe to work for me. It has been a while since I have typed this way. Thanks again for your help.
Friend suggested I type while listening to the news.

A while back I suggested we all write a letter to the editor about this . sm
I did, and they declined to print it. Evidently it's not a big issue in the minds of some. Individually we can't do anything about it. Perhaps collectively. We need a petition to go to ALL senators and representatives from our respective states, and none of this "anonymous" stuff, either.
Your point was? You called me jealous and lazy, and suggested I work an 8 hour shift.
Now you're being "nice". I am NOT worried about others. Why would I want to work an 8 hour shift and produce 1000 lines if I could be missing SOMETHING and increase my production? How mean-spirited you are. I would LOVE to produce more and work less, so that I could spend more time with my loved ones. And to read on this forum the astonishing line counts most MTs are claiming to make regularly - well, I'm either doing some really, really wrong, which I would like to fix, or I'm not doing something that I need to be doing, which I would like to fix! Thus, my sincere question. Truly I believe it is time to leave this board, though I used to LOVE it so much, cause you just can't get an honest thread running anymore about anything - even trivial threads turn ugly by 2 to 3 posts, let alone INFORMATIVE ones like how honestly asking my fellow MTs who are huge producers HOW they do it? As in straight typing or using normals and standards? I try to hang on this board and stay "positive" despite the negatives, cause I really like it here and I really like the admin, etc, but I'm not a glutton for punishment. I know a lot of the old regular MTs who actually carried on intelligent conversations have gone to the board where you have to pay $$$ to post. Apparently, one can still have kind meaningful conversations over there - guess the $$ part weeds out the trolls? Don't know, but its sure sad. Please, don't misinterpret this as me thinking anyone would give a hoot if I left here - cause I know now there will be the normal "good - who gives a crap? good riddance" flames, but really, the MTs who are so trollish are just ruining it for themselves. Thus is their lot in life, though.
Good one. An anonymous poster blows another anonymous poster's head off. Great win for MQ?
 I guess that is a small pleasure for those of you who have lowered your expectations for the company you work for. 
Bet you're married to a fat bald guy too.
Olympus
The small company I work for uses the Olympus system. The owner told me it costs about $600 per doctor. She provided the software to the transcriptionists and the doctors. We each purchased a wave pedal ($69). The doctors have recorders. The office manager sends the dss files via e-mail to the Transcriptionist as an attachment with a cc to the owner. The transcriptionist does the work and e-mails it back to the doctor with a cc to the owner. The program encrypts the file, so that the transcriptionist and the doctor has to use the same software.
Olympus DS-330. nm

Olympus
I have an Olympus and it was around 200. I simply love it. The guy at the store said Olympus quality is one of the best in cameras. I was looking at Sony because I like Sony products but he said in cameras they are not tops.
Olympus DS-10
The Olympus DS-10 will not allow the docs to tape over what they record. I had to get this for one my docs who kept taping over everything. They get very upset when the tape over everything.
Lynn 
Olympus
has hand-held units that he can dictate into just like he does with his tapes. He then plugs it into his computer and it uploads. He then sends you the file, like an e-mail. It is pretty simple. My old-time docs handle it pretty well. Good luck.
Olympus
I think the editing capabilities they are referring to means that the doctor can go back into a recording he has already done, like into the middle of it, and insert something he forgot. If I were you, I would NOT get one that allows this. I started out giving my docs the DS330, which has editing capabilites. On several occasions they ended up overwriting their recording completely or inserting things in the wrong place and overwriting portions of the recording. It was a NIGHTMARE. If you have docs who are very careful, it may not be a problem, but my docs are not careful at all with these things. Then they got upset at the recorder and at me! Oh brother.... Anyway, they eventually got used to the recorders and have been using them now for years with no more problems with overwriting. But in the beginning they had a rough time.
Now I give out the Olympus DS2, which does not have editing capabilites and have had none of the above problems. Docs use it with ease and there is no worry of overwriting a file. If I were you, I'd go with the DS2. The DS330 is discontinued anyway. Good luck.
I use Olympus DSS
The client set me up with it, and I only have experience with the transcription units, although I know the dictation units have docking stations that send the voice files to the computer.
I checked and one transcription unit runs around $400, although you can find it a little bit cheaper if you look hard enough.
Hope this helps. 
Yes, it's an Olympus WS-100. sm
Thanks for responding. No software came with it, as it is a USB port that acts like a regular driver. I'm looking for Microsoft Explorer, but come up with Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Olympus
I have all my physician's using Olympus recorders also. Not too expensive, great Olympus support and very easy to operate.
I have an Olympus DM-1 and you only need
a cable to upload voice files to the computer. In fact, I lost the original software that came with the unit, but Windows automatically detects the connection and opens an upload window as soon as I connect the USB cable and turn on the unit. The rest I don't know about, but I do know you can upload the voice files with *only* the USB cable that fits the handheld unit...
Olympus
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I don't have Olympus software, just the free download that is call DSS Player Lite. I guess that doesn't have a converter in it, I didn't see one. I have since downloaded other software to try and play this file and nothing will. I guess I may just have to break down and buy some software since the free stuff isn't working??
Olympus
I had purchased the same model and found that you could not tape over anything the physician had already dictated. It is for taping conferences, meetings, etc.
Olympus DDS
I just took a job with a 6-doc neurology practice. They are months behind on dictation as the docs stopped covering the hospital and instead now see patients daily in the office. Dictation is behind 3 months. They have Olympus DDS. All docs have different way of doing their notes. We do new patient notes, office visits, as well as EEG, EMG, transcranial dopplers, carotid ultrasounds, and the docs all want their own way. We are swamped. The former transcriptionists quit. The office is not technologically saavy, and neither am I. But I do know the situation is critical. Should we get a new system that would require docs compromising on a single template for each note, or use the current Olympus DDS system and work with the doctors on templates? There has got to be a better way..We are drowning. Thanks for any suggestions. Office manager is looking to us (3 MTs) for the solution.
Try Olympus WS 110
My docs are using the Olympus WS 110. It is available at the local office supply stores and is no too terribly pricey. This account didn't want to spend any extra money for equipment but this recorder is fantastic compared to the cassettes they were using. I think it runs around $70.
I use Olympus Player every day and like it SM
much better Express Scribe!
Olympus DM-1 recorder
Please email me and I'll send a detailed description.
:)
Anyone familiar with Olympus DS-30?
I need to find digital recorders for a few doctors. I am looking at the DS 30, but want to make sure its a decent recorder, but don't want to spend too much $$. They want to email me the digital files--so I was wondering if this recorder is pretty easy to use/set up?
Thanks for any info
Olympus DSS system
I have a potential new client that is using an Olympus DSS system they tell me. My question is can I just use Express Scribe to play these or would I need to purchase the something like the Olympus AS-400 system to play their files?
Thanks!
Thanks! Is a DH-10 Olympus? I'll look that one up
as well as the 3000 and see which one might work better for me. Do they both have good sound quality? I just need something basic he can walk around the ofifce with and dictate after each patient and that I can swap cards out to bring the dictation home. I assume they both work with basic files that Express Scribe plays, like .wav, .dss, etc.? I'd be interested in hearing the price on the 3000 if they're offering a deal. I don't know yet if the doc will buy the transcriber or if I'll have to make the investment myself. Thanks so much!
My doc uses Olympus WS110
It was around $70, and the recorder comes apart and it actually IS a memory stick. The sound quality is AWESOME. It sounds like surround sound and it's clear as a bell.
Olympus 2300
Please someone give me some info on the Olympus 2300. I am going to work from home for a doctor who uses this to dictate. Do I need special software to be able to transcribe the voice files? The doctor doesn't know because his previous service set him up. I truly appreciate any help I can get on this board!
anyone use Olympus player?? sm
 I've used it for years and all of a sudden when I go to transcribe the file I have highlighted, the player disappears. The "player and slider" do not stay "on top" of the WORD document. I can minimize it and open it that way, but it is a pain. I want it "on top" of the document so I can see progress of the file. As it is now, I "can't see it" and therefore can't open or close it. anyone know what happened? TIA
Anyone using an Olympus recorder . . . see msg
The ending of each recording is cut off. Has this happened to anyone else, and what went wrong? TIA
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

Olympus Pearlcoder T2020
The 2020 is excellent and reliable. Ask me.
Does anyone own an Olympus digital camera and how do you like it. nm
:
Have you tried the Help menu in the Olympus player? sm
Depending on the software that came with your player, you may be able to do this but I don't know for sure. Again, .dss is proprietary to Olympus.
The suggestions below to download Express Scribe are probably your best bet. It never occurred to me to check ES to see if the .dvf file extension was supported--DUH! Is there any particular reason why you can't use the Express Scribe player? If there is a particular person or office that is telling you to do this, ask them what program they're using. And, BTW, I did notice on that the Switch site says not all .dvf file types are supported.
Olympus DS4000 disk
I bought a DS4000 digital recorder brand new on ebay last year. I just got a new account who is interested in going digital and when I opened it up the disk is cracked. I have the license number to register the software I just need a copy of the software. If anyone can copy or send the original and I will return the next day please email me at bsptss at aol dot com, I'll gladly pay any associated costs.
Thanks
Barbara
Does anyone use the Olympus WS-100 digital recorder? sm
Have to buy this, and was wondering if there is some way for the voice files to automatically be transferred to a folder. It says it doesn't come with software that does this.
If there is a software that automatically does this or if I can set up system where it does this when it recognizes unit, please advise. Thanks.
