You never listen or read completely -- just speak
If you are so good in math then you know that in doing a 40 line report counting gross lines with 90 characters per line, that if you were to divide by 65 you would have 9 more lines than the gross count -- right? It sometimes does average out. But then I know that you were confident in what you are saying -- "a gross line is a gross line, one character or 90".
Everytime you re-load Word you need to re-load Stedmans medical spellchecker.

What a load of ....
hooey! Forty five-year-old people getting high, cussing like teenagers (can you say no class), and acting like idiots? You MUST be an old hippie. The establishement? LOL Yes, I must be a sell out. But then again, I know how to act in a social setting without offending everybody in a 10 foot radius. Don't even get me started about hippies. My brother is a 57-year-old specimen who hasn't grown up either, still toking on his joints every day. God gave us the ability to judge for good reason.
Get a load of this....
MTSO here - I *used* to send my accounts Christmas gifts, but I stopped doing it. Why? Because one year, after sending a $100.00 gift basket to one of my docs, for thanks, he dictated a formal letter to me, mixed in with his other dictation, thanking me!!??
Another very well to do doc sent me a $3.00 or so Walmart-style Hersey mug with a little bag of Hersey kisses in return for the nice gift basket I sent him.
Two years in a row, another doc couldn't even scrung up a thank you note - no acknowledgement whatsoever.
Another office did the same thing - no thank you - no note - no nothing.
Needless to say, my gift giving came to an end after about three years of this.
What a load of crap!!!!....nm

Work load
I've been with Amphion since June and it has been pretty easy to steadily increase my line count. I've never been harassed by anyone. There is tons of work and right now mandatory overtime, an hour extra a day plus whatever you want to work after that. I have no complaints myself.
work load
Not too much going on today. I did about 300 lines, (whee!) and did about 1200 yesterday. Boring...
yep - my PS said not to load it and I disabled

Use the Load button.
Find the Load button in the toolbar, navigate to where the file is saved and load it into Express Scribe.
Can you tolerate the ESL load trying to get up

Work Load
For the past 4 months the work load has been consistently lighter, i.e., less work throughout the day. At first I thought the company overhired, then I blamed the holidays, and now my boss is blaming the Inauguration. I have 4 accounts and all 4 have less work during the day and run out by 7 or 9 pm. EST. Three are based in the Maryland area and 1 is in Florida (so the Inauguration blame game does not work there) I can't even begin to understand how the West Coast girls are dealing with this. Anyone else having this problem? I am trying to decide if it is worthwhile to pick up a part-time job or just hope this gets better? My pay has been steadily decreasing for 4 months now and it has to start picking up or I can't keep up with the bills.
get a load of this math
ST: 250 lines an hour at 8 cents a line is $20.00. (I can do 250 an hour if I concentrate). If I can only do 200 lines an hour, that is still $16.00 an hour.
Now for the VR:
VR: 400 lines (roughly 60% more than straight typing 250 lines an hour) at 3 cents a line is $12.00.
How is that more money? It's a 25% cut!
How many of you spent years perfecting your macros and shortcuts and Expanders just to have it taken away from you so you can't make a decent living?
I won't be doing any VR work. I think they wasted their money with this new technology. They could have given us raises with that money and had happy employees cranking out the lines. Win-win.
Too bad for us. Shafted, once again!

How can I get it to auto load the next file? sm
I'm also new to ES and can't figure out how to get it to auto load the next job file when I click "done" with the current file. I have all my voice files in a folder and it loads them all, but sure would like to not have to manually load each new one. Can anyone help? TIA!
how to load files into Express
I can not remember how to set up express scribe to load files from my computer.
Trying to load voice files, anyone?
Wanting to go to work for a new company. What I am getting is - voice files failed to load- object does not support this method.
I would like to know- has anyone experienced something similar and if so any suggestions? Thought maybe too much on my computer or ?? Thanks so much.
Trying to load files from a company

decreased patient load
I'm in an office doing transcription and our revenue is way down. Even people with insurance still have to pay some part of their office visit or test or prescription and making those payments has become difficult so they're either avoiding paying them or avoiding coming in for the appointment. So, yes the economy is affecting our business as well b/c the patient load is down significantly.
How's your work load going Monday, January 9?
Just wondering if we are all in the same boat, sinking because of India oursourcing.

Emdat is only good if...A. Demographics load and B.
if you have a limited number of doctors who use a lot of repeats. I am lucky to make 100 lines an hours with the account I am on.
Tech support told me not to load 7.0...
they have seen numerous problems with it already causing issues with programs, particularly Outlook Express
Too uneven a work load. Some are only a sentence. Others go on for 2-3 pgs. No

Sounds like a load of horse puckey.
The ONLY way I can see that, and I highly doubt it, is if her docs have mostly standard exams that give her a HUGE boost in lines.
On eScription I did a group of cancer docs who really had pretty standard exams so I could EDIT 1000 lph easily but noooo way could I straight type 600 lph.
If 2much, just load AVG and SUPERantispyware; Very good ones NM

If you can increase your work load with current company
that would be better than getting a second job. It will take you a while to learn new dictators and/or new platform so you won't be making that much money initially for the time you are putting into a new job. If you are able to pay bills with the debt currently I would just go on a strict budget and cut out any extras. If you can get a home equity loan to consolidate bills. Debt will still be there, but instead of several bills to keep up with, you can focus on one and pay debt off sooner.
Can you load the Stedman's speller onto the puter there? Can't imagine not having it! nm

It sounds like he has given you the Olympus program. I would go ahead and load it and configure
your pedal to work with the Olympus program. The files that work with Olympus are .DSS files and while your Bytescribe program may be able to play those files, it will work much better with the Olympus program. Problem with the Olympus program is that it ONLY plays .DSS files and nothing else or it used to five years ago. They may have come out with an updated versions since then.
"perhaps" poster above is right. Peace and Love will lighten your load. sm
I once worked a summer holiday shift by myself and transcribed something so awful that I tear up when I think about it today. It was the death of a 3-year-old, and I got ALL the 5 dictations regarding the course of this little girl. Give me the "vanity" surgeries on holidays anytime. It is not up to us to make a judgement about who "deserves" treatment, it's just our job to transcribe it correctly. The work you transcribed may have been boring, but that lets your mind drift to loving thoughts about your own family and how you will all be together soon. Like the above poster says, turn your mind to loving thoughts, even for the patient you have prejudged, your heart rate will lower and believe it or not, the day will pass more quickly.
MTSOs are screwing MTs by the boat load and I'm supposed to feel bad because I chose to look out
for myself? Geez, the service was bad-mouthing ME to the client as the reason the TAT was not being met. And the MTs were given contact numbers for the client accounts we worked on. The service expected the MTs to contact the client with problem issues like faulty tapes and inaudible dictation. They also allowed the clients to contact the MTs directly. The supervisor didn't want to deal with the clients unless they were happy.
I simply did what I had to do. And for your information, a company CANNOT withhold payment for a service unless that service was not performed. I performed my service, I typed my lines, and I expected to get paid for the work I did. I took them to court and the MTSO LOST! Business is business. The judge actually told the service that they may not like that I took the account from them, but they still had to pay for the lines I typed when I was contracted with them. End of story.
I'm not losing any sleep. I don't think what I did was unethical. What the service did was unethical. Trying to throw me to the wolves. What I did was just good business sense.
they pay you to listen to what they are saying and fix it.
I actually feel kind of sorry for the residents who have such a hard schedule, overworked, underpaid and not enough sleep. I would hate to dictate and don't think I would be very good at it. Well maybe if it was the only thing I did but not under the circumstances most of them work under. Think about it. What if on top of transcribing you had to do all the other things the doctors have to do while being sleep deprived.
Willing to listen.
If you have information, please share it. I just stumbled across this website a week or so ago. I have been totally in the dark about everything. So, please, feel free to fill me in. Don't have time to do a search since I am trying to get my line quota so I don't lose my benefits :-(
Listen to your gut sm
Listen to your instincts. You have gotten a lot of advice from this board and everyone means well, however, no one but you knows you situation completely.
As far as your boyfriend, I have been in that situation. I was "in love" with the person he "could become" but not at all happy with the person he currenlty was. I was fooling myself into thinking he would become a better person. One thing to remember is that it is impossible to change another person. If he is not what you want or need, you will have to make the decision that is right for you and your children.
Debt is a life drainer. It comes to a point that you are miserable because of debt. I've been there too. Again, do what you think is right but try not to strap yourself financially.
Best of luck to you and your family.
listen again, he is probably saying sm
pole of the right kidney. Also, are you sure 2.1 isodense lesion is not hypodense lesion also? Don't know about your "kamachium" will have to think about that one!
who do I like to listen to?
Do I get to make a last wish before the firing squad? 
Sammy Davis, Jr. (greatest entertainer of all time) - Barry Manilow (I like his newer stuff) - Maureen McGovern - Bobby Darin - Cher - some Janet Jackson - Mariah Carey - Backstreet Boys (some of their stuff) - Peabo Bryson - Luther Vandross - Anita Baker - almost anything Disco - CCR - Petula Clark - 3 Dog Night - Blood Sweat & Tears - a lot of George Michael, Jim Croce - Guess Who - Fifth Dimension - Four Seasons - David Clayton Thomas (from BS&T) - a little bit of Eric Clapton, Steve Lawrence & Edie Gorme (and the list goes on). I also have individual songs I like such as Elusive Butterfly, Green-Eyed Lady ... some stuff from the 60s (my age is showing). Not really into the 50s (but the movie Grease was fun). It all depends upon my mood from day to day.
Who I would never listen to: Janet Joplin, Rod Stewart, Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones (the worst!!!), most of Elvis Presley, a whole ton of 60s, rock singers, and most of today's singers.
Despise rap and don't like country ... but I do enjoy the song "The Devil Came Down To Georgia." I'll pass on opera as well.
As the line goes from the movie: I "had two 50s and moved right on into the 70s."
Okay folks ... load up the guns. 
NO. Don't listen to the OP below. Go to
You do NOT have to do that.
However, you really should build breaks into your workday so that you are only typing (not taking breaks) during your worktime.
Hours are the times you work during and they can make whatever coverage hour requirements they want.
Lines are what you are producing and paid by. So you want to be as productive as possible while you are working during your coverage times.
