The easiest answer would be use Explorer. sm

In Reply to: Need help with handheld recorder file transfer. sm - NMT

More information would be helpful. Is this an Olympus recorder? Is there software that came with the recorder that is needed in order to download?

As an example, my OMs download dictation to their computer using Microsoft Explorer (not Internet Explorer, IE).

Whatever is easiest for you is the
most productive for you. I use ABCZ and then my own abbreviations that are easier for me to remember.
the easiest way to decide (sm)
Is to ask yourself how you would feel if the tables were turned... then you will have your answer. And also, the best piece of advice I ever got was "if you have to ask, you already know the answer".
One of the easiest ones I've ever done, wish I still had it!!! nm

The easiest way would be to break into...sm
acute care for the same company you do clinic for if they have acute care available. If not it is going to be hard. The company you are currently with would be more likely to train you to do acute care because they know what your capabilities are.
You will want to sway the easiest way for you

If it is a one-doctor practice, you want to purchase the handheld. 


Try www.transcriptiongear.com for options regarding either FTP or call-in system depending on the volume. 


www.vancedigital.com offers an FTP site that is easy to use and you pay on usage; fairly inexpensive.


I would suggest for tapes that you give them a list of courier services because once you start to pick and drop off work and tapes you'll lose valuable time.


I like to get out during the week so I do deliver but the pay is awesome and I can't bring myself to not pick up, plus it allows me to network.


Sticky notes a great idea.  I was actually thinking a pen with my business name on it, but haven't gone that route as of yet. 


Good luck to you.


I agree, that's the easiest &
cheapest way to go, partition the HD.  You could even have separate HDs if you wanted to.  I have had both setups over the years.  Of course, I'm married to my "tech person" - lol.
Unfortunately, CS seems to be the easiest debt to skip out on
You'll get into more trouble if you bounce a $25 check. I have used one of those private agencies because my ex had moved out of state and once that happens, if the ex doesn't want to pay and moves around in jobs, you can pretty much forget about getting anything.

The private agency works a lot faster, but the contracts are very complicated and you are pretty much signing up for the life of the CS obligation; otherwise there has be nonpayment of CS for a year before you can end the contract. And yes they take a big chunk of money but at the time I thought it was better than getting nothing at all.

But in the end, once payments have been established, the private agency ends up filtering the payment through your local CSEA anyway.

I think your best bet is to use some kind of locator service and if you can get a good address provide that to your local CSEA.

I wish they had an "America's Most Wanted" for deadbeat dads/moms. It's amazing to me that it is seemingly so easy to stop paying, change jobs, and just not be found.
Easiest and fastest way is to Google sm
once found, click on the manufacturer's website. That way you will always have the correct spelling, etc.
Easiest guacamole recipe
I just mash the avocadoes, open a jar of my favorite salsa, pour off the excess liquid without squeezing the veggies, add lemon or lime juice, a little salt and pepper and done.... It's always the 1st thing gone whenever I bring it somewhere.
Easiest digital method

Hello everyone


I currently have one of my own accounts with 2 physicians. They use digital hand-held recorders and we email files back and forth, encrypted of course. Anyway, is there an easier way for their office staff? Something where the doctor could talk right into the computer and it would be sent to me without using the office staff?  I am trying to take some of the burden off of them.


Thanks.
Lynn


I think specialty work would be easiest..sm
With family practice, you could see a number of diseases from all specialties, so you need to know the terminology for all. In specialty work, you would see the same all the time. For example, if you took on an ortho doc, you'd see all ortho, so you learn the terminology for that specialty only. Once you have that down pat, you could branch out into a new one and so on, gaining experience with each.

You will have a more well-rounded experience going with family practice over specialty, but as a newbie getting own accounts, specialty would be easier, IMHO. I don't really recommend starting as a newbie at home with your own accounts, but that's just my opinion. It's a lot harder because you won't have QA - the doctor will be your QA, and they can be a lot harder to face than an online QA person. You have to take criticism well, since it will come from a doctor most times (or staff member) and some docs can be blunt and even condescending. Just being honest based on my own experience. Maybe you could try some of the small MTSOs rather than national companies, where you might only have 1-2 QA people and aren't as stringent about BOS rules, etc.

If you find a local doc willing to take a chance, go for it, but don't expect it to be any easier at first than a national or working for another person. There are pros and cons to each. It can be hard to get either job without experience, but a local doc desperate for help might be more willing to take a chance. Depends on what the MT market is like in your area. If small town, good chance finding a client. If larger town with lots of MTs available, it will be harder.
Easiest way is by the minute/seconds ...(sm)
At $60 per audio hour (60 minutes) is $1.00 per minute.

$1.00 x 33.31 = $33.31



(sorry, I emailed you by accident, and meant to post!)
You can still do it through Explorer.

To select a group of consecutive files, left mouse click on the first file, hold down the shift key, scroll to the last file in the group you want to move and left mouse click on it. (The files in between will also be selected.) Continue to hold the left mouse button down but let go of the shift key. Drag the group to the CD drive.


To select several non-consecutive file, follow the above steps but instead of the shift key, use the Control key. This will select each file you click on separately. If you click on an incorrect file, simple click again and it will de-select that file.


Using a combination of the shift and control keys will perform allow you to select non-consecutive groups of files.


Op reports by far are easiest for me - hardest is Oncology. nm

The most & easiest money I ever made typin'

was for a hospital that had all these kickass "normals" for OP notes.  The docs would say, "Please use my _____ template" and that was it.  Some ortho templates were an instant 100+ lines and they took mere seconds to zap in!  Those days are long gone for me but I remember them fondly.    



 


The easiest things is to use a jump drive.
Use Windows Explorer to locate the voice files and then copy or move them to the jump drive. Jump drives are coming down in price. I just bought a whole bunch of 2GB drives for $19/each at Staples last week.
Digital handhelds easiest, or a cheap
You can buy digital handheld recorders at decent prices. If dr. is computer literate, dr. or staff connect to PC and send you files from recorder either through encrypted e-mail or secure FTP site (you'll probably have to set up). Or you could look for a cheap call-in system. Dr. calls it, dictates, and you can transcribe using Express Scribe or another player. A lot of docs like those 'cause they are used to them. You may need a new pedal if yours only works with your current co's platform. Check ebay first or classifieds here even, maybe you can get deal on used equipment to see what dr. prefers.
Internet Explorer
Thanks very much! I'll check that out.
I have Internet Explorer
I have never had a problem before like this with it. I just sent tech support an E-mail and I will see what they might say.

Thanks.
Yes, I did know that and sometimes that works better than Explorer.
It all depends on what you're more comfortable with. Glad that it worked out for you.

Yes, you can do this from Windows Explorer. sm
Find the ShortHand folder on the main drive. Look for your dictionary names ending with the spf extension. You can copy those to a CD or flash drive or email them to yourself.
Use Windows Explorer. Are you using
WinXP? Click the setup.exe file.
Which HIPAA E-mail Software Program for OE is easiest/best?

I provide service for an office of three OB-GYNs and the OM/docs may be willing to consider going from hand-held microcassette to hand-held digital recorders (mean no more pickup-delivery of dictation/transcription for me!). I would like to utilize a very (hopefully) simple HIPAA compliant encrypted E-mail program for transferring of files in Outlook Express that will work on my own computer as well as the office's Linux network.

I have found one that appears to offer all of the above features I am looking for and seems reasonably priced called CenturionMail, found at the link provided.  Is anyone familiar with this program and/or any others that they would highly recommend? I need something simple as we are all new to this adventure.

My goal is to some day be on the road in our RV, setup with a laptop, and felt an E-mail program would be my best choice for utilizing a campground's Internet connection for uploading/downloading of files. Any thoughts on this?


Thanks for any feedback you can offer me. I sincerely appreciate it.


Hardest: Dental surgery. Easiest: Cardiology, OPs. sm
Most interesting: Psych.

I think it's generally whatever you get the least of that you'll find the hardest. I used to hate OPs, GI procedures, and cardiology, but eventually got used to them and found they are repetitive (aka good money makers!).
Internet Explorer trouble
Has anyone ever had IE just poop out on them? I was able to log onto IE yesterday morning with no problems. Then, about 2 hours later I needed to go online and research a medication. I got the following error message: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error. Program:CProgram FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information." I tried running TrojanHunter Guard, Ad-aware spyware detection, and even tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE but it won't let me do that. I've downloaded another browser called Opera which was recommended to me just so I can get online. Anybody else had this problem? Thanks for any help or advice.

If you are using Internet Explorer (Microsoft) sm

Go up to the top and click on "Tools", then "Internet Options". Click "Clear History". That should do it.


If you set your history to only keep one or two days' worth of info, it will automatically clear itself.


It would be a good idea to click "clear files" on the same screen as well.  You should also click "clear cookies", but that will delete all your passwords and saved information. However, some of those "cookies" can be harmful so you do need to clear them out once in a while.


Ok, try repairing your Internet Explorer.

Go to Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.  Scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer, highlight it, hit the Add/Remove Button.  A screen will pop up with three options, install, repair, or uninstall.  Click the Repair radio button, hit OK, then reply Yes.  After it's done restart your computer and try going to your website again.


If that doesn't work and you can't get it to work through the Mozilla browser either, let me know and I'll see what else I can think up.  Also, update and run your virus and spyware scanners to be sure it's not a virus locking you out.  If you need links to free ones, AVG is good for virus, and either Spybot Search and Destroy or AdAware are good for spyware.  I think both are available at Download.com.


Here's the link for Mozilla Firefox, which is supposedly a more secure browser than Internet Explorer anyway.

I have an Internet Explorer question...sm

all of a sudden when I type in an address in the address bar on IE and hit enter, it takes me to "organize favorites" and makes a new folder.  Anyone know how to fix this or turn it off so that when I type in an address it will just to the web page I am looking for?


Thanks for any help!


Delete them in Windows Explorer. nm

More like 2 seconds, if using Internet Explorer

It would help if you were a little more specific about what the issues are that are making your frustrated.


"Cleaning your cache" and deleting cookies are very simple and easy ways to keep your computer free of adware and spyware, although you should have a firewall and run a good malware/adware program frequently.

Poll: hardest and easiest work types. I enjoy...
orthopedics and psychiatry.  Do not like cardiology, oncology. 
The easiest way for this one is to insert blank fields with Ctrl + F9. You jump to
each field with F11. You use Shift+F11 if you skip a field and need to go back. If you don't see your fields in the doc, hit Alt+F9 to show or hide fields.

Bookmarks and cross-reference fields are used when you have static information you need to pull into a field. That isn't the case when you are dealing with variable info.

If you have Internet Explorer, click on View, then

How do you find which version of Internet Explorer??
I can't find this information on my computer.. Where do I find it?  THANKS!
Lost toolbar on Internet Explorer
Can anyone tell me how to restore the tool bar with the buttons such as home page, refresh, go back arrow, forward arrow?  I know that there are other buttons on there but those are the few that I use most often and can remember.  My guess is that something has been inadvertantly turned "off" but I don't know where to look for it.
Use Windows Explorer, drag and drop. sm
OR you can copy specific files/directories from your main drive to your back up drive.
A much better browser to use than Internet Explorer. You will love it!

Go to the "My Computer" icon or Windows Explorer (sm)
And click on the C: drive. Should be a folder named InstText. Inside that is a Glossary folder. Either copy the whole folder or go inside and copy the glossaries you want, then copy to your flash drive. Then install Instant Text to the new computer, attach the flash drive and copy the glossary files to C:/InstText on the new computer.

Win XP? Were you changing folder options in Windows Explorer? sm
Go back into Windows Explorer and look at the options on the general tab of folder options. I no longer have XP and don't remember the exact name of the option you need to clear the check, but you should be able to recognize it.

You don't need to export. Just double-click the glo file in Windows Explorer
nm
Just drag and drop using Windows Explorer. No need for special software.
This is all stated assuming that you are using a Windows Operating System, XP or Vista. Put a blank CD into your CD drive, open Explorer, find the file(s) and/or folder(s) you want to put on the CD, left mouse click and drag them to the CD drive.
don't send them thru ES -- find the actual file thru Windows Explorer on your computer. nm

This is a very basic computer skill/concept. You copy files to another drive using Explorer.

There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.


Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.


 


A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.

Yes, of course I'm half afraid if I leave him I won't find someone else and half afraid that I will!!  I'm old enough and had enough good and bad times with men that I really don't think it would be the end of the world if I lived the rest of my life alone.  It's maybe what I would not choose but it might have some positives in the long run.  At least that's what I tell myself when I'm feeling good, during the middle of the night is another story....


Break-ups are tough.  How do you stay on course.  You get lonely, you miss him, you doubt your judgment, you want to try again, you tell yourself maybe you were too hard on him......


I think I should go to a counselor, it's just that it's quite expensive and as I said, I'll be paying for it out of pocket.  I think they will tell me pretty much what you have.


It sounds like things have worked out for you.  I thank you for your insight and help.

The payperiod I average 16,000 lines is a bimonthly payperiod. It runs 1st through the 15th and 16th through end of the month. It is WAY more than the minimum requirement. I am EXPECTED (with that employer) to do a minimum of 6000 lines per payperiod but the incentive is just too good to pass up.

See my post below if you want to know more. Or ask me. I'm not hiding anything. I'll tell you straight up what works for me.
