Share, share, I've been looking for some time...sm
sending out resumes gallor, have great experience, but they sound like clones of each other in what they offer, yet what they want is it all!!! I'm so discouraged, in the depression boat myself! They want you to commit to FT, new equip, DSL, on and on!!!
Thanks for taking the time to share!

Very good ideas! Thanks for taking the time to share.
Are you using a trial version that has run out of time?

Stayed at Vistana time share resort and it was EXCELLENT 5-6 years ago.
I don't know what kind of prices you are going to get at the height of the season but phone Vistana and see what a weekly rate is. They do have shuttle service and lots of activities within the resort itself. There are lots of time shares that have been built since then so check into time share rental. Vistana had two bedrooms and sleeping room in the living area plus kitchen. Whirlpool bath in master. Tennis, swimming, etc. Great place to stay, highly recommend.
PS: I went in the late summer and price for a week was approximately $700.
To the person giving the ShortHand tips - thank you very much for taking time to share!! nm

Congrats, girl, and get your share of any money that you share before he wipes you out. nm

They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

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 stand corrected........................ think
maybe that's one of the AAMT adjustments?
I stand corrected
I think I worked there! LOL Except they used to fax the corrected
reports back to me, which I couldn't read because the faxed copies were illegible. I wasn't provided with any account guides or samples either. Their rules and style made no sense whatsoever and went against everything I ever learned in high school, college and my transcription career. I wound up leaving them very soon after starting. I don't know which is worse, no feedback at all or nitpicking.
It's up to you if you're going to stay and put up with it or not. Plenty of places are hiring right now.
oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm

Thank you, nm, for your reply to my computer question.
I stand corrected!
Copied and pasted your search string. Had no idea you could get Word separately, especially the 2007 version.
Thank you posting that!
Maybe you would know this then:
Is there a reader you can download to Vista to view MS Word documents if you don't have MS Word installed?
Simon has corrected himself in the past. sm
Actually, I have heard Simon say in past seasons that after watching the playback it was not as bad as his review, which is, of course, what he did with Katherine.

Well then I stand corrected:) Learn something new everyday. lol

Ok. I stand corrected...may be overly sensitive..sm
I work for two places, one full time as IC and one part time as IC. Full time is small service with approximately 14 MTs. I get paid by the gross line at .067 cpl, typed in courier new 12. I have worked there for three years. Part time IC job is .08 cpl at 55 characters, typed in TNR 12. I consider both of these to be low paying, after reading some of the others, but they pay the bills. I guess.
where I work, you need to request a copy of corrected report. nm

Whoops! Thought I corrected "experiment" before I posted
And please forgive any other typos I may have missed. :)
I stand corrected. Sorry, did not mean to say gross. Rather, 65 cpl with spaces, headers, footers.

oh wow, so that makes you smarter than me because you corrected an error on a message board???
Congrats...how have I not been supportive? I never called you anything nasty or said anything negative...I merely stated sometimes you have to suck it up...ESLs are never going to get any easier...you just have to adapt...and the pay will get better once you prove yourself...I think you just don't like the reality of the situation...sorry for being honest...
If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

Gross lines and 12 hour days!!! I stand corrected, you weren't stretching the truth, you were...
misleading everyone. The majority of MTSOs pay by a 65 character lines. Paying for spaces or not paying for spaces is usually the only variant between companies. You come on here and say that you tyhpe 3000 a line a day and leave it at that. Don't say how many hours your work, how long your lines are, etc. That is misleading!
I probably am typing 3000 gross lines a day in my eight hour day if I were coutning gross lines. For fun, I think on my next work day, I'm going to jot down my gross line count in each document and add it up at the end of the day and compare it to my actual line count. I'll let everyone know what the difference is.
Geez! Really burns me up when people get on here at start spouting out nonsense as if it were fact and we should all be in awe of their skills and expertise! For future reference, the truth lies in the details. You can't just say you do 3000 lines a day and leave it at that. Notice when I posted below how many lines a day I do, I added that I work a strictly 8 hour day and that my lines are 65 characters with spaces.
Give accurate and detailed information people, PLEASE!
Qa sent me 2 corrected report. One had hypenated word changed and other had same word

Please share...
Favorite small appliance. I have 2 jobs now, love my crock pot but am looking for something a little more versitile... Something I can throw everything into in the morning and just set it and forget it! Any suggestions? Thanks! 
share
share any work ??
share
That is great pay. Where do you work. I read so many people who love where they are but yet no one shares the info. I have been looking the past few months but have yet to find one that starts out with a decent pay. I would have to take a cut in pay just to get more flexibility which I don't think is a fair trade.
Share what?
Our jobs that are limited as it is? So when we all lose our jobs to people in India, China, etc., can we assume you personally are going to share the money from what used to be our jobs with us so we can keep our homes and feed our families? I think not. Transcribe for your own damn doctors and leave the American patients to us.
yes please share with us !
Just had to share
Our Rottie had puppies Saturday morning!!!!! 11 in all, 6 girls and 5 boys. We lost a baby girl yesterday morning, but the rest are doing great. We're exhausted, but they're fine. They're sooooo cute.....
Yes, please share
info about this.
Share What?
There are a lot of claims by a lot of MTs that cpl is the only way to go, and claiming that they are being paid more than most astronauts, but being given a salary/hourly rate to be recognized as the professionals that we are would be nice. When I started out the main issue was understanding the content of what you were transcribing and it was expected that you kept updated on all new terminology, meds, etc. You definitely would not find a nurse or other professional agreeing to be paid by how many blood draws they do and yes, it does boil down to the same thing.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
had to share, doc just said...sm
The patient was taped to the operating room..... Wish I could see that!
Let me share with you....
not really sure what you mean by the long-time MTs getting angry, maybe you can share- I didn’t have internet at all prior to 2004. OMG but made really big money years ago and has it ever dropped now days! But back to sharing… my grandkids who you know can show us all we need to know about the latest gadgets, computers, blackberries, whatever went with me up to my father's home. He was in his late 80s then. I asked the 14-year-old gdaughter to go in the bedroom and call someone for me. She went back but soon returned to where we were and called her brother, a 16-year-old with a puzzled look on her face. Finally the both of them came back into the living room and said they had no idea how to use granddaddys phone- it was a rotary. Laugh, laugh. See it is all when you grow up and with what.
yes PLEASE SHARE
We would all like to work for a great company to! Email me if you prefer.

I have a discharge summary - the guy was in the hospital for a month. It's 42 minutes long. The doctor is dictating every consult that saw the patient every day, their impression, and then just reading the assessment and plan, numbering the recommendations, and then....."Thank you for allowing us to see this patient." Do they even think about what they're dictating???????
had to share this one!!
"She wil be put in an Aircast splint and with crutches and treated with Motrin 800 every 8 hours as needed for pain with food."
often HR will share your ap
Like, I applied for coding and ended up being recruited as an MT (and they never DID fill the coding position as that department was undergoing "internal issues").
Although it is a major slam when you apply for clerical work you get pushed towards being part of the janitorial staff! Do you have very little MT experience? I could understand if they offered you something in medical records, but wow, that's quite a leap to think you'd want to wash dishes!
just had to share this one - s/m
a local college has a job posted for an ESL instructor. Any takers? 
had to share
ESL dictates, "MRS. So-and-so is a 10-year-old female." Might be able to be a MRS. in your country but not in the USA.
Could you please share
the name of this company? It sounds an awful lot like what Medquist is doing to us. Thanks in advance.
