free to download. I have used it for two years now and have had no problems with it. It is HIPAA compliant.

Core is software to upload and downloads. It's not a hosting site.

Meant to add: It's COR, not core or Core.
They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib

I have used this for my personal website for a number of years. It's great and simple.
Try Core FTP--they are good.

It's the Corps, not the core. And, oh my, he DID desert. sm
He just left because he did not like the ways of the Corps? Stupid mistake #1. You can't "just leave" the U.S. military! Certainly not just because you don't like it. This is made very clear when you join and when you go through boot camp. Your hubby screwed up and there's nothing you can do about it now. He should have thought about wanting to be home with his family BEFORE HE SIGNED UP. There are thousands of men in the U.S. military who miss their wives, who have missed birthdays and anniveraries and Christmases, but they don't just walk away, because the men and women have devoted their lives and their loyalty to the United States. Just walking away is dishonorable and should be dealt with as such.
Oh, owie! That hurt. You cut me to the core with that one.
NOT!!!! I don't care what you use as a resource, but I've been assigned the most difficult accounts at my job with 100% on QA scores. Why is that? Hmm, because I don't leave blanks when I can't find a term in a book. Instead, I find it on the Internet. I've been praised for that ability, too.
Don't overlook WW Core Program...sm
similar to South Beach but more liberal (unlimited LF protein/NF dairy, unlimited vegies & fruits, unlimited whole grains, pasta/rice/potatoes once a day) with 35 flex points a week. No daily point counting, which to me makes more sense as a life-long plan, as I can't see counting points forever. I've lost 38 pounds on Core without starving and without obsessing over counting points. Has totally changed my life, the way I eat, and the way my family eats. Never ever have to go hungry. Wish I had known 10 years and 50 diets ago how easy losing the weight really is. It's mostly been a matter of patience. The first 15 to 20 came off pretty fast, the last 18 or so a bit slower, but now that I've learned to eat right and simply be more active for the first time in my life, I know the rest will come off with due time. Can't tell you how much peace the Core Program has brought to my life.
So I don't mislead you, unlimited really means "eat to until satisfied" not gorge non-stop. Once you get started, you really learn to listen to your body and cravings more or less dissappear. Hard to explain, but once you are eating a "clean", well-rounded diet on a consistent basis, cravings disappear and it's easy to eat just until satisfied.
Both WW plans, Points & Core, work. My suggestion is to look at them both and pick the one that best suits your lifestyle. Good luck.
Ed Grimley! Ssssssssssssexy to the core!

It's really not hard to use at all. It's just like looking at your files via Windows Explorer (on the left side) and the files that you have access to on the right side.
If this was something worrisome I would think they would have already ordered a core biopsy.

I'm a WW plan but highly suggest the Core option...sm
of their plan. No points counting except for a 35 point weekly allowance. Really teaches you what and how to eat in a way that can easily be maintained for a lifetime. Once you are on a few weeks, you can easily identify "trigger" foods that make you overeat and affect your mood, weight loss rate, etc. All without counting points for every bite and very few restrictions on a daily basis.
One of the best things for me, is the healthy eating habits have really been absorbed by my family too. Hardly any junk food of any kind in the house anymore and no one is complaining at all, especially since they've all dropped a few pounds too. It amazes me every time I go food shopping how different my cart looks than it did just a few short months ago. My aunt got me hooked, she's lost 85 pounds in 7 months and hasn't been able to exercise at all due to a back injury.
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.
A newer computer with a dual core processor runs cool. No need for it.

If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
Full Core means full CPR code.

I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have
Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board. Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things. Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money? We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.
FTP Client
I still don't know what an FTP client is that was asked in the original question?
the client always wants a little something...sm
The client always wants a little something for nothing.....so I give them a free line if there is only one word on the line...I give them a 68-72 character line (spaces I do count). I have never upped them in 9 years, but on my 10th anniversary I am upping them to 13 CPL. I also give them their 5 line headings for nothing as it's only 2 Keystrokes for me. They are good to me so I bake for the offices a couple of times a year and give the offices a gift during the winter holidays.
I do for one client
One of my clients requested that I charge this way. We do 10 words = 1 line, so basically a penny per word. From what I have figured, I'm doing okay when compared to the character count way of charging on this account. I think they requested charges calculated this way because of being ripped off by their last MT. Once I send their files, they can check the word count and keep a running tab to compare with my statement. They're satisfied and I'm satisfied, so it works well.
Have your client do it. SM
Call the office of your client and have them fax/e-mail to you samples of their prior surgeries. There's certainly nothing wrong with asking for this.
the client does not have to have it-- sm
The client can unzip using WinZip or whatever program they have installed, but MP Tools is so easy, some clients may want to use it. I have a couple who are interested in purchasing it just for the printing function, which works really well.
I had a client ask me to look
They provided a patient list for the date of service, but if the patient was not on there, then I had to view on-line the past week of patient lists to look for the name. Yeah right - that took 15 or 20 minutes sometimes uploading and viewing. So now, they get an inaccurate spelling of the patient name with a comment when I send there report, pt. not on list. Hello? Like the low wage isn't bad enough, and then add in that kind of junk. It is pathetic. 
What the client says is law, if that is what they want, then
that is what they expect and they have the right to tell an MTSO who can and cannot work on their accounts.
Even with this, the client is always
BOS is a style guide, which I do not own. However, I aim to please the client. So, if the doctor wants to spell something his own way, then so be it. He went to medical school, not me! A book of style means absolutely nothing to a client who wants things a certain way. End of story. 
It is just according to what the client
wants. Most do I would think, but some want them in a paragraph form and not captialized. Need to check with your supervisor or client.
Oh my! Do you have your own client? sm
I don't know of any MTSOs who pay 13 cpl. If you found one please share.
I'm not sure, but if the client does not
get a cut for using ASR, they why would they care whether their physicians use it or not????
We would be a lot more valued if they all thought ASR was as good as originally touted and had no editors to fix the darn reports it spits out.
First off..there is no way the client is getting a
And ASR is NO WAY 3 times faster...that will never happen. Most transcriptionists type the speed of the dictator to begin with. ASR could be a great tool for those of us needing a break from transcription, but it does not warrant ripping off our cpl's..ESPECIALLY when the client is charged the same...the have NO WAY of knowing whether the report is goes to ASR or not. Lastly, an ASR Editor needs YEARS of transcription experience, becuase to insure a correct report
It would be according to what the client
wants. We just type the numbers if they are dictated that way.
Unless specified by the client, I only
expand in diagnoses, procedures, impression, etc. I always type what they say when it comes to drugs, you don't change things like two a day to b.i.d. unless directed to do so by the client specifically. Also, on my client we are not allowed to use slang, so if they say "sat" we expand to saturation, bili is changed to bilirubin etc. A good MT never takes it upon herself to change something that is dictated UNLESS they are specified to in certain instances by the client or it something is wrong--then if it is changed you flag it for your QA.
I think relistening to a certain client until you
are very used to them is a good idea. Just put it on high speed and go over it. That won't take near as much time. I am QA and I can most certainly tell the difference between those who relisten or at least reread and those who do not.
never a client from a national, but...sm
A client approached me AFTER both HE and I had quit working for this one particular MTSO...I worked for him, she found out and tried to sue ME for $20K.
I sent her back a play $20K bill and told her that was about as much as her "lawsuit" was worth. Never heard another word from her.
Own client question
Those of you with your own clients. What do you do when you want to go away for the weekend, or get sick? I can see this as being about the only reason to stay with a company. The ability to get someone else to pick up your accounts for a few days is appealing.
Depends on the client.....sm
At any rate you have too many commas, imho.
"I told him to clean the area with hydrogen peroxide and after that he can apply the Neosporin ointment." Works just as well.
It just depends on what the client wants.
I have some that still use tapes and some that I do through a TASP. So for the TASP, I have a wav pedal for the computer, Express Scribe, and that's it. For the tapes, I have the usual trancriber setup.
Maybe the client requested the

Pleeeez help. What is an FTP client?
I was asked that when applying for a job. I know it means file transfer protocol, but how the heck am I supposed to know how my audio files get transferred?
And I thought I was pretty gosh durn smart. 
Client rate
It depends on the rate in your area, but I would charge no less than .12 per 65 char line. I think this rate is not too high and not too low. You have be careful about charging too much as someone will undercut you. Practicount is a line count program that will allow you to charge for headers, footers, bolded areas, underlines, and so on. This way if you have to drop your price in order to get the client you can charge for other things that will make up the difference.
Good luck!!!
it's really client preference......NM

In general no, but your client may need you to
nm
Well, if that's how she's billing the client SM
then that's how you should be billing her (just characters and spaces). I'm sorry you're going to be losing money. I'd be unhappy too. Maybe you can work on your shortcuts/macros more so that you are typing less for the same amount. No real words of wisdom for you...sorry.
Maybe so, but ultimately it is the client
x
The needs of the client have changed.
They can say they need the work whenever the fancy strikes them. You can either provide it or not. That is just the way this business works.
I lost a big client and a new one to EMR
My own doctor hired me after losing my account to EMR. I sat around for two months waiting for him to start only to be told on an office visit that he too has gone EMR. Good luck.
Losing a client
You have my empathy.
This happens with the big companies too. The MT is the last to know that client whose account they have worked on will not renew a contract. I worked 60 days in a row on an account to help catch it up not knowing the Co. was losing the account. I felt betrayed because during that time I could have been trained for something else. I was on a C-phone at the time, and others had already been trained on newer systems. Things really can be quite thoughtless/heartless when regarding the MTs feelings. Makes one feel like just a number. Or as they say a "Human Resource" I that that word..... it sounds like an entity that uses-up, wads-up, and then discards. What ever happened to personnel? Once again, you have my empathy.
Of course, forewarn the client.
Let him/her know that should you continue to be required to provide service over the weekend there will be an additional charge for doing it. Your work week is M-F and if you must provide service over the weekend you will have to charge a higher rate. I have had clients do this before and most of the time after talking with them they would change their mind about the ASAP timeframe. If you are getting slammed with a week's worth of dictation on one or two days then you should be allowed a longer TAT or charge a higher rate.
