foot pedals
foot pedal used w/ DocQScribe is not compatible w/ Express Scribe. I had to buy new foot pedal for use w/DocQscribe several years ago.
Me too! Got 3 foot pedals under my desk - lots of fun!!

When did KS stop supplying foot pedals?
I was hired by KS in early September. I was immediately sent an email with attachements of docs that I had to complete and return. I immediately completed it and faxed it back in. I got an email acknowledging that my paperwork had been received.

Six weeks went by without a word from ANYONE. I emailed the person who initially emailed me the pwrk. I also emailed the recruiter. Three days went by without a word from either. Finally, after another week and a few days, I was contacted by the TL and an IT person and a foot pedal was sent.

When you hire people, there is no acceptable reason for weeks to go by without any sort of contact. I hope that you guys have since gotten yourselves together. I quit shortly after being hired.
Foot pedals needed for testing with Amphion?
I don't have a foot pedal for my computer.  I have one that went with my transcription machine in the past but I suppose that's a whole different thing.  I want to test for Amphion and I wondered if anybody has taken their test and knows if the pedal was needed?
Infinity makes the majority of the foot pedals, so to

ask if an Infinity pedal will work is too general of a question.  Do you need game port, serial port, USB, 9 pin, 15 pin, etc.  They can be configured different ways so just because it is an Infinity doesn't mean it will work. 


I use an Infinity pedal but it is specially configured to be compatible with only DVI. 


 


I posted about halfway down this page about foot pedals
and how I get them to work for online tests usually. The heading of the post is foot pedal. Hope it helps.
I have two platforms on mine. I just have to change foot pedals when I switch from one to the other.

Wav pedals
Could someone explain to me the mystery of the wavpedal?  I have three right here, and none of them work on the same platform - one works for one but not another, and so on.  they all look exactly the same and have no identifiable information printed anywhere on them.  These came from Transcriptiongear.  I would like to unload a couple of these, but have no idea how to advertise them or even tell someone what they are to give them away.  HELP!
No pedals given at SS
SS does not provide pedals. Maybe they used to.
I have decided to keep their pedals
until they call me asking for them back (if they even do that). I do not understand how companies like this stay in business. Their loss! Thanks again.
I would keep the pedals for now and move on. If they are too busy sm
to get you set up to work, they are probably too busy to want their pedals returned. At least that way, if you keep them, you will have something for your 2 months of sitting around waiting!
Keep the pedals, get another job. If they want the pedal back,

Infinity makes 99% of the pedals anyway. I used a DVI

they were sent to me BEFORE I accepted a position from them.
I don't know why it's not compatible
Are you talking about your MS Word autotext?
As far as I know, nothing is compatible with Medrite, sm
especially if you are working in DOS. I worked on it for over a year and never did get the hang of remembering my own word expansions. I used IT too long and could not get used to anything else.
VISTA IS COMPATIBLE
I dont know who told you VISTA was not compatible but it most certainly is! I bought a new laptop with Vista and have been working without any problems whatsoever. If you're having a problem downloading it, it's because you must first sign in as, run as administrator...then it will download for you...
Anybody know of any companies that are compatible with the

Would love to be working on my own computer which has Vista on it.

vonage is compatible with 911 - you just have to set it up - nm

MT equipment is often not compatible with VoIP too.
For example:

If you need your (*) key to sign off on a job, it may not work because some phone plans/phone cards will use that key to disconnect you so you can dial another number to avoid having to dial in again and enter your whole ID# and PIN# all over again.
Same goes for the (#) key; some may use this key for that function, which might be a key you need to get the header info. for each job or to repeat the header info.

It's very difficult for an MT to find a LD plan, and unfortunately, some MT companies out there don't realize this or simply don't care.

Is the platform compatible with an expansion
I don't mean using the features in MS-Word (Auto-Text, etc.), but something like Smartype or Shorthand? When I interviewed with them a couple of years ago, I was very impressed with them, but I can't fly without an Expander and there were issues with Lotus not counting expanded text with every expander I asked to use with it. It was only for that reason that I did not accept a position with them.

Any company compatible with VISTA?

It has to be compatible with Start/Stop. You can

Does anyone know if ChartScript is compatible with Windows Vista?
I just ordered a new HP laptop with Windows Vista, and I was wondering if anyone knows if the ChartScript.net platform will run on Vista without any problems. I want to be able to take my laptop with me when I travel so that I can work on the road.
I use Scribe for orthopedics and it is compatible with Shorthand.

Bayscribe platform is compatible with Vista.
You just need to find a company that uses Bayscribe. There may be other platforms but I don't know of any.
Does anyone know, is the Meditech program with Keystrokes compatible sm
with Vista?  I am thinking of getting a laptop, and I found out that Dell will downgrade you to XP, but they charge you $99 more
Keystrokes' ads all say WindowsXP or 2000. Vista is not compatible sm
with most platforms, which is not the fault of the company.

You were not fired; the offer letter states that employment is pending IS approval of your computer. Vista is NOT compatible with most MT platforms at this time. No one would have told you to purchase that. We do just the opposite and tell everyone NOT to purchase VISTA as it is does not work with our hospitals.
