Satellite is secure. Wireless DSL is less secure than satellite but
yet companies accept that. Satellite can be very secure depending on how you have everything set up.
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

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.

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

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.
Is Instant Text compatible with Axolotl's platform? Thanks!

Or do they have their own expansion software?  If so, what is it?


Thanks! 


Is Dictaphone EXText compatible with Word 2007?

Not true anymore. More platforms are Vista compatible. sm
I work for Keystrokes and bought a new computer about 3 months ago. I asked if Vista worked and I was told that it is about 50/50 right now and more are compatible all the time. This is everywhere, not just Keystrokes.

Reputable company w/ platform compatible w/ InstanText/Shorthand

Am heavily dependent on sophisticated Expanders that incorporate code script, like ShortHand and InstanText.  Can anyone recommend reputable employers whose platforms are compatible with these programs?

Do not get satellite!!!
Satellite is a waste of money. I had it for four years and I could hardly work for any MTSO companies. Most of them do not allow satellite. If you have DSL or cable, please go that route. I currently use EMDAT and I remember the employer's ad said no dial-up or satellite with EMDAT. Good luck!!!
Satellite, anyone? (sm)
I found a great house out in the boonies and the only available high-speed internet is by satellite, a company called Wild Blue. Does anyone know of any MT companies that let you work by satellite, and has anyone got any experience with Wild Blue or other satellite providers? I appreciate the help. Can't move if I can't work.
What is so bad about satellite

In my experience with satellite internet, it has been way better than cable as far as outages.  When I had an outage with cable, there was NOTHING I could do until it was back up and running usually by calling the cable company. 


If there is an outage with my satellite internet, I can do several things that ALWAYS WORK.  


EX #1:  If it is snowing and my internet isn't working, I go wipe off my satellite with a broom.. Internet is back instantly.  Sometimes I have to do this several times a day. 


EX #2:  If your internet isn't working and it isn't snowing or torrential downpour of rain, then unplug your internet and shut down your computer.  Restart and then plug everything back in.  Always works. 


Only time I have ever lost internet was to torrential downpours of rain and the second it let up, my internet was back.


Am I one of the lucky few that this happens to?  It is just so irritating to see not accepting satellite internet because of reliability issues. 


I think sometimes people just use that to an advantage and it gives ALL SATELLITE a bad name - I'll just tell them I didn't work because my internet was down.  Do you know how many times in the past 2 years I had to call off of work because of internet issues?  ZERO.  Do you know how many times I had to call off work because my cable internet was down?  At least once a week.  Not fun.


You can get satellite for $70/mo and
can get free systems sometimes if you sign a 12-mo contract.   If you are unable to get a job because you don't have high-speed internet then look at the cost of that versus satellite. 
Satellite
Does anyone know of any companies, large or small, that work with satellite (Hughes)?? I have just moved to a very remote area and broadband is not available. Any help is much appreciated.
Satellite
Years ago I was so naive that I thought I was cable when (because it was through a cable company) I applied that is what I told them and I had fewer problems than the people with actual cable connections or DSL, and I had more protection against tampering with my internet than I currently do with the best cable company in town. So, I am not entirely sure that I would not just apply and say yeah high speed internet connection.
satellite
I tried working on one of the accounts they now have when I had a satellite. It was just not compatible. I now have DSL, much better all around. I was working for MQ when I had the satellite and they had a great hospital, which has since gone to KS.
