can't find prior post answer
I read a post awhile back about fast dictators and the settings for Express scribe to slow them down without distorting the voice but I can't find it now. Can anyone help?

If it were me, I would use up the PTO prior to the transition. sm
I have lost mine in the past.
screen prior
I would say something like I would like to ask ome questions prior to sending in a resume and testing as I feel this saves time on both sides. A concern is: _____ and also the low rates offered and the formula used to figure the payrate. Get it out of the way, don't waste time, some are down to 4 and 5 cents/line for MTs. Less than 10 is not acceptable and even with that, it sure is not good by the time you figure the hourly rate and just what skill is expected/given and under what terms, I have seen 99.5 accuracy expected. When these bad terms are turned down by the MTs it will not turn around.
Well, unfortunately they do not have a test that you can take prior to the first
drink that tells you if you are or are not an alcohol. Unfortunately, many people don't realize their disease until it is too late and many people drink "socially" so who is to know what is and what is not going to happen in the future? As far as AIDS being 100% preventable, I will agree to the point that protected sex is most certainly the responsibility of the individual, but how many people have protecetd sex with their longterm partners not expecting them to be unfaithful or someone who has contracted an illness in ways where they were not resposible?fever
Unfortunately, it is people who judge that keep people who are sick from getting help. Of course, that does not apply to everyone and mental illness also plays a part in many illnesses, but as a recovering alcoholic I can say that I graduated with an MBA, PTA President for many years, and had no hereditary factors in my life to foresee the possibility of alcoholism to prevent it. Fortunately for me, I was made aware of my disease and have done everything to prevent a relapse - something I have been successful at for 12 years. However, I do believe that when people are judge as harshly as you seem to judge, they will more than likely succumb to the label you have given them.
May God bless you!
think.....many years of MTg prior....sm
I started MTg in 1984 and by 1997 I opened up my own little MTSO business. I believe the level of self confidence plays a huge part. All I did was make up business cards and I went and solicited myself in medical centers weekly. I also brought a resume just in case they wanted to see one (that was rare that they wanted to see a resume in my experience). I only solicited the fields I was very familiar with and got a pediatric and adult neurosurgeon, 2 plastic surgeons, and 2 neurologists right off the bat. I keep ledgers and used to do microsoft Excel (which I no longer do the latter).
Regardless of what the other poster said, I do print for the private MDs, sometimes on my plain Xerox paper, other times on their letterhead, and I give them free paper and free delivery. Most MDs want to see something for free. I give them their headers for free as it's only 2 Keystrokes for me on a 5-line header. I have kept my doctors for 10 years now and they appear very happy to me. I give them 24-48 hour TAT (turnaround time) without fail. When I go on vacation (early autumn) they usually go at the same time. I never have to farm my work out, I simply juggle my days around.
And to cap it off, I then moonlight for a national for 3-day weekends!! I love that too because it's always a NEW learning experience for me and I polish up my knowledge of all the other fields that I do not do during the week.
BEST OF LUCK. If I could do it and be a success, I believe most self-confident people can do the same!! 
Prior MT..BS.Ed...job opportunities?
Thinking of returning to the MT field. Little background: I'm currently teaching high school, Bachelor of Science in Ed. I was a MT off and on for 12 years prior to starting my teaching job 2.5 yrs ago, almost all of that experience in a hospital, one year with WebMedx at the end. I also did IC here and there locally. Not sure teaching HS is for me, LOL. But I hate to waste my degree too...are there trainer jobs? Should I look into QA or editing? Am I being completely silly for re-thinking my MT career?? I miss the medical community, have been a part of it for most of my adult life. I enjoy the education aspect, just not sure HS is the right fit. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks :D
Did you work for MQ prior to...
working for this new company?
I have been at the same company for 6 years, prior to this job
was at the same company for 8 years. I left company #1 because they lost the account to MQ and the company only had clinic work after that and I do acute care and didn't want to do clinic. While searching for another job I tested and was offered positions by 6 companies. I took PT positions with 3 of them. I had been using a C-phone with a small local and really had no clue about other companies. One job I kept for 1 year until they got rid of my account because they were such a pain. I quit one after 4 months.
I know someone who had 7 jobs in 1 year and that was only about 8 months into the year. She was a CMT and wanted the whole world to know it and treat her special, but the quality of her work was very poor. I don't know if she voluntarily left all those positions or was let go. When I was testing I was trying to get a feel for what was out there and thinking that company #2 might offer me better than what company #1 was paying. While this wasn't that long ago, it was when you could still get a decent line rate and I never heard of offshoring.
Well That's IT! Lifeguarding will be mandatory prior to being an MT! Hahahahah!

That thought crossed my mind prior...LOL..nm

Prior wedding inquiry update...sm
Previously I had posted on this board as my fiance and I were trying to figure out how to handle letting people know that we don't want any wedding gifts (we each have a house and don't need material things as we're giving away tons of stuff with merging the home) but had chosen a charity for anyone who would like to make a donation in our honor.
My maid of honor and a couple of friends decided to host a party for us and on the invitations put on there that in lieu of gifts that we were requesting donations to a children's charity that we chose because of the reputation of spending the money wisely and being well known for its work.
This has gone over very well with the invitees. I've had many of them call and e-mail me or my fiance saying that they thought this was a wonderful way for us to help others less fortunate and yet celebrate our upcoming marriage. The charity agreed prior to our announcement to not pester these people afterwards with mailings and is simply sending those that send a donation a thank you card, and then they're sending me a weekly list showing who made a donation and their address, but not the dollar amount as I don't care to know what they gave.
So... for future brides that don't want gifts I suggest doing what we did - it's a win for the charity and lets the family/friends that wanted to do something special do this in a way that we chose (and we aren't stuck with household items we don't want or need!)
well, years prior, they sent pens and clocks..nm
I worked on INET prior to DQS on the same account which was switched to DQS.
You absolutely w/o question need DSL or cable to work on DQS. The searches and the downloads take FOREVER with dial up on DQS.
I lost money on line count on DQS. Same account different line counts per hour. Lots of people have had the same loss. No one, but no one has increased line count on DQS from INET.
Prior to posting here, this is what I found on Wikipedia and why I assumed it was, if not offensive,
From Wikipedia, searching the term Oriental. See what I have bolded and underlined.
Perceptions and connotations
[edit] American English
Controversy surrounds connotations of the term in American English. (See also American and British English differences.) According to Abdurrahman R. Squires, "politically correct terms have taken the place of the word 'Orientalism'".[2]
While a number of reference works used in the United States describe Oriental as pejorative, antiquated or offensive in some instances, the American Heritage Book of English Usage notes that
- It is worth remembering, though, that Oriental is not an ethnic slur to be avoided in all situations. It is most objectionable in contemporary contexts and when used as a noun, as in the appointment of an Oriental to head the commission. In these cases Asian (or a more specific term such as Vietnamese, Korean, or Asian American, if appropriate) is the only acceptable term. But in certain historical contexts, or when its exotic connotations are integral to the topic, Oriental remains a useful term.[3]
Random House's Guide to Sensitive Language states "Other words (e.g., Oriental, colored) are outdated or inaccurate." This Guide to Sensitive Language suggests the use of "Asian or more specific designation such as Pacific Islander, Chinese American, [or] Korean." [4] Merriam-Webster describes the term as "sometimes offensive,"[5] Encarta states when the term is used as a noun it is considered "a highly offensive term for somebody from East Asia." [6]
I thought they can only audit you or send you a tax bill 2 years prior. It is now 2006 - the 2 year
I may be wrong here - maybe it is 3 years, but I thought the law changed and it was 2 years. Check into it.

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

Don't they post that information when they post the

Thank you for your post
You posted it like it is. What about this young boys parents?? What was he doing out at 2-3 in the morning?? What kind of parent would allow that?? No where have these posters who are blaming the victim even tried to put blame on this boy. Amazing. I hate to say it but the old cliche is true. very few women stand together or help each other, the claws come out and they attack each other. This young boy has told several different accounts of what happened that night. My take is that they put a date rape drug in her drink, as some of her friends said she was acting strangely.

that's all I can do regarding this post-
Yes, we see that. However, this post was done before her post.
Was there even a need for your post?

is this post from JMO ?
First of all, I can post here if I want. Second, SM
it's not necessarily having a "unique ability to spot a loser right away." Too many women have baby rabies and don't care whose sperm they get, as long as they get that baby. Then, when daddy's true colors come out, it's too late. THEN they so very often breed with them AGAIN. What the hell is wrong with these women? Then then end up "single mothers" with a giant chip on their shoulder, expecting the world to make up for their bad choices.
Yes, dads die. But from what I see 95% of single mothers got that way by having kids with the wrong men.
my post
see, 1600 or 1700 lines in 8 hours. But I can spend 3 or 4 hours of really doing nothing but typing and do 1000 lines. I shouldn't take 8 hours to do 1600. I should be able to 2000. I find that I get on this board, zone out, get up a lot, etc., after I reach my 1000. That is what I need to work on!
maybe no one knows anything else to post! nm
