Googling
Google is my home page, so whenever I go online, that is the first page I see....easy!
try googling it...........nm

You might try googling..
as I strongly doubt that any of us live in Cancun.
googling
just googled and found some interesting info - pretty much all the bigger companies are offshoring - most not telling client. There have already been incidents where a pakistani and indian transcriptionists have threatened to post medical information on the Internet - legislators aware. the current administration thinks that the jobs the Mexicans are taking here are jobs that Americans don't want. Are we about to let them think the same thing? We need to be proactive - if we are really 100,000 or more - think of the jobs lost, taxes lost, houses lost. Also found an interesting article about offshoring in which the owner of this site is quoted as being against (YEAH) offshoring.
Rely more on googling then (nm)

Not off the top of my head, but googling

Not talking about Googling
There are tons of reputable sites that I use daily. There is even a Stedman's site. I purchased books in the beginning but never use them. I only use internet resources and my downloaded version of the BOS. I do not waste time flipping pages of books. You have obviously not taken the time to explore the plethora of internet sites. rxlist.com and drugs.com are my favorites for medications.
try googling "achalasia scan." nm

Try Googling him with his old address or name in the town he was from - also
I think there is an on-line site called privateeye.com, or something like that you pay a one time fee that could probably dig up all you want to know and more. If you have kids, kick him out (change locks), stay in the house if you have one, document any bruises, cuts, etc, with pictures, tell people, mom, dad, friends about it. My husband ask me before we married if I would ever leave/divorce him and I told my husband only if he hit me (1 x would be all it would take) or cheated on me that I was gone (he cheated on his ex-wife-- not with me, did not know him then and he'd be out on the street, and about $100K poorer at this point)--Good luck and I hope you land on your feet (running).
Try Googling 'herbs uses.' Worked for me.

Try googling surfcam or oceancam.
Some have live beach cams where you can actually watch people surfing, boating, etc.
This is sentence I responded to about googling

Try googling "book for tax deductions" or

I've kept Googling this term, but....sm
I can't relate just how it would affect opening your own small transcription service. But I'm way behind the times, and maybe someone with current info can be of help. I'm surprised your post has not yet been answered.
Try googling copy autotext in Word
You should get a link that gives instructions. Hope this helps. I copied mine recently on a disc with no problem.
Siren, I find googling key words fastest and most helpful. SM
After that, my medication software, then my dictionary software rarely but valuable when needed. For books, I still use my Stedman's equipment book and Sloan's abbreviations/eponyms (invaluable when needed). As a new MT, I purchased most of the Stedmans books, plus many other books, and found them invaluable then, but now as a skilled MT they mostly just gather dust as doing a quick search with hands on the keyboard is much, much faster.
Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.
c
right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

Regarding letters
We have an account with our national where all the consults are dictated in letter format. So for every single consult we get we have to look up the correct names, spelling, and addresses for the referring physicians because the dictators never give them. Once we get them we can save them in autotext, but it's still a pain to have to look them all up.
No letters
My daughter could not use my computer because of no letters left on the keyboard.
three letters: CTS
some of us CAN'T do much else at this point. I can't even write anymore!! And we blessed, fortunate ICs don't qualify for disability pay or unemployment... so yes, it's upsides and downsides, but in the end, right now I'm facing having to quit MT and I have NO idea what to do for a living, at the tender age of 36, and, with the pay cuts and such, no money to invest in an education. So please try to have some compassion... not all bellyaching is unfounded.
Think again - big letters at top saying
Not to post there unless you work for MQ
letters sm
The written word can come back to bite you. Be careful what you say. If they care enough, they'll ask and then you can verbalize. Otherwise, it will become part of your permanent record. Don't say anything to make them angry, One never knows down the road when you will have to list them in your past employment history. Sometimes we would like to pour our hearts out but it would depend on what you have to say. I once wrote a note which was not really that bad but everyone in the company said I left a scathing letter which was totally untrue. The less you put in writing, the better, IMHO.
for me, the only ones that letters don't rub off....
and on the back of mine it does say Key Tronics.......
Use a name that is 4 letters or more and you get the... sm
AutoComplete tip box showing your entry, then you can press F3 or enter to expand it. Make sure the first 4 letters of the name are not the same as the first 4 in another entry or Word won't know which one you want and no tip will appear. You can use less than 4 letters in the name but no tip appears. You'd have to remember it and hit F3.
Just remember that AutoText only works in Word and you might want to think about a true text Expander that works in all of your programs. You can also bog down your normal.dot file if that is where you choose to save AutoText and you will be at high risk of corrupting the file. Make sure you keep a backup.
As soon as I started doing letters...
I would fly like the wind. That is what hourly paid secretaries are for! Good luck in finding something else, but do like I do... let them know from the gitgo I WILL NOT DO CORRESPONDANCE! 
Despise letters! UGH...nm
.
DS, H&P, CONS, letters
are the basics. Doing OPs is another level up
letters for keyboard
there's a place called Gold Violin (1-877-648-8400) or www.goldviolin.com that has a set of letters (1-black letters and the other one white) that you can buy for about $10. they're enlarged too which makes it easier as well to see, if you've got that problem. i got a set and just haven't taken the time yet to clean up my keyboard to put them on. i love my cordless Logitech keyboard and mouse as well. i like the touch on my keyboard as well so don't want to buy another one just because the keys wore off, so this fit the bill for me.
Consult Letters
Hello, does anybody know how consult letters are like? Are they long and difficult?
i enter the first 4 letters...sm
Every time I come to a drug I enter the first four letters of the drug in Autocorrect, capping it if needed. I think this is quicker than sitting down and entering a bunch at once.
It's like the chain letters you may have
received where there is a numbered list of people included and you add your name to the list, subtract a name from the list, all names on the list now are shifted and thus have a different number on the list that you create than on the list that you received, and then you send a dollar (or other amount . . . in this case, a pair of flip-flops) to each person that was on the list that you received. The people that you send your letter to are instructed to do the same, and so you wind up receiving (if the "chain" is not broken) money/items from each person that receives the letter that has your name on it (before you are "bumped" from the list).
Letters/envelopes
These are a pain. I worked an account like this and I hated it. What kind of lines can you get typing letters all day, especially when you have to worry about looking up addresses and if you do not live in the area of the hospital/clinic - forget it. The co. I was ICing for lost the account that was like this - and now I am on a much better account - love it - and doing editing.
Do you have to see the letters to type? Should
x
letters/addresses
Can someone tell my how to format a letter so that the Dr.s address in the letter will automatically show up in the envelope box without having to add the envelope to the document?
Right now I have 10 keys without letters
on them and it works fine. I don't seen need to replace unless the keys are sticking or not working.
I have received a few letters
so far. Keep those letters to The White House coming you guys! I am so trying to get our voices heard so that our careers may be saved. I am addressing outsourcing, offshoring, patient security, voice recognition and anything else that can come to mind concerning transcription. I want to have a packet of letters to mail off because that will have a greater impact versus just sending one letter here and there. Please join me! Deadline for sending letters is 1/28/09. Email me if you wanna join me:)
Please send me your letters!
I have received only a few letters to the President about transcription. I want to send a packet full of letters is my goal! Now I know a few of my friends are still working on their letters. I want to address outsourcing, voice recognition & offshoring with the President. So please join me to help get our voices heard! Email me & I'll give you my address so that you may get your letter in to me by the deadline of 1/28/09.

Does it have 3 letters, begin with an M?
If so, I'm there too...Ain't life grand???
Be careful about writing any letters. sm
Look at it this way, another account will be around the corner for you. I have been there. It is business. Most of the time it is about who knows who, whether you understand that or not. There is so much politics involved in some hospitals, so don't feel bad. A friend of a friend who works there...... etc.
I would just call whoever it was that you met with about the proposal and account and ask if they made a final decision on their transcription provider/vendor. Be graceful and professional, they may call you again for that account. Don't burn bridges. Even though it is very frustrating for you, keep your cool.
There are other accounts out there, go get them!
Good luck to you and best wishes.
I agree. And what about "black letters"
Not sure why only the "black letters" count. If you type what is in the header, should you not get paid for what is in the header?????? (I don't care if the letters in the header are red, black, blue or green......)
You have to get the numbers on one side and the letters on the other,
then come up with a common denominator.
B=2/3-1/8
B=16/24-3/24
B=13/24 (which does not simplify down)
brochures/letters/flyers
Okay --everyone let me have it. I don't feel I am better than anyone but several of you have asked for me to E-mail you my brochure/flyer/letter that I use when contacting doctors and I am having a hard time doing so. It took me a long time to do the research, many hours/days and weeks designing my simple brochure that reflects me and my business and I guess I am scared that someone will scan it and just replace my name with yours and it took me a long time to do it. So am I wrong? I basically just have a logo, state what services I provide, price and what experience I have but it has worked for me. I don't like ignoring those of you who have asked but I am having trouble sending it to you. I have no problems offering any of you support, advice, tips on what I do but have trouble meeting this request and not thinking that any of you would simply duplicate it and guess it wouldn't be that big a deal so am I really a horrible person?
brochures/letters/flyers
No you are not a horrible person - and having owned my own Transcription Service for 15 yrs until my husband passed away 12 yrs ago....I WOULDN'T SHARE my hard work either!!
I think it is extremely kind of you to offer support, advice and tips. I can't fathom asking for another persons/business brochure, it is just not right and personally I think it shows lack of respect for you.
My two-cents...
Are you for real! Whoa...two big letters!
You may not need detox but you certainly need some compassion and you also need to get a life! ; )
Looking for black keyboard that letters don't rub off.
Been through several, haven't found one yet that numbers didn't rub off. I have this one approximately 2 weeks from Logitec and I can see signs already where the letters and faiding.
keyboard letters/numbers
I had the same problem with the Dell keyboard that came with the computer. I bought a Logitech keyboard then ordered a protective keyboard cover from protectcovers.com. It fits like a glove and was under $20.00. I'm hoping this will prevent the same problem. All you do is tell them your keyboard model number. And, of course, it keeps crumbs, dust and other assorted things from getting down in your keys.
question about cover letters
If the job ad says send your resume, do you send a cover letter also?
I'll send out letters
I write letters all the time to different government bodies, politicians, school districts, you name it and I'll write. I think this is a wonderful idea. My letters and/or phone calls always get public attention in my area - I have even put in for a presidential pardon for a relative who is in the federal prison system. I've exposed a principal who was abusing special ed kids, problems with taxation in Texas, and many other issues. My motto is - if things aren't being done properly, you can always write a letter. My pen is poised over pad and paper......
