I don't know if you can convert Meditech, but you can convert other Expanders to be used in ShortHand. 

The removal part is under the same section of the control panel where you uninstall programs. I think you have to click something at the top that says to show updates, then scroll through to find the update. I could not connect to the VPN my company uses when I downloaded SP3 and had to uninstall it. I also downloaded a tool from Microsoft that blocks the auto-update feature for SP3 for a year. If MS is offering a tool to block it, then you know there have to be problems with it. Here's the link if anyone wants it.

dial-up at times.  I had it for a year so I know.   Satellite is also not secure, so if company is 100% compliant with HIPAA satellite would not be allowed. 

I had lots of problems with my satellite, though I was never without for more than a day.  Customer service was the absolute pits.  They have since updated some of their equipment that is suppposed to eliminate some of the issues.  

TIA

as soon as the first report has downloaded.  Once I download I disconnect, do my work, then connect and send my completed work.   I usually start my download in the morning then go take my shower, feed all the animals, grab myself something to drink and I'm ready to go.   Once the work is downloaded what type of connection you have doesn't matter.  

Sure it is safe to post your resume on the net, provided it is a reputable site.  I would not just post it anywhere, but post it on the job boards here and other reputable sites.   Most sites have some type of safeguards in place so that you have to have registered with the site and/or paid a usage fee to view information like addresses and phone numbers, so that not just anyone can view the information. 

Another option may be an account that has C-phone or similar accounts, where you aren't downloading, but dialing directly into the system. 

I had work the first 2 full weeks I was there.. afterwards I was bombarded with hours and lines to make up.  i.e., 11-15 hours every single week with a paycheck that never topped $200 except for my first one because they pay $200 to train. They always wanted everyone available every hour of every day. At least my TM is.  You need to come back after you are there for a while and let me know how it is REALLY going for you. 

Only excuse I ever got was the doctors are on vacation thats why no one has work... umm I had like over 50 when I stopped counting in my work pool.. so I highly doubt it.

I really do hope everything works out for you.  

I was told we can never use our own computer.  Everyone has to use theirs.

what you type in, no matter what your Expander plays out.  For instance, if you type copdx and that comes out as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, you should get paid for all the characters/spaces in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, right?  Not just five letters for copdx.  I'm asking because of the post below.

Heck, if I worked for a company that wasn't paying me for stuff the I took the time to put in MY expander to make transcription faster and more profitable for ME, then I'd just throw my expander out and type everything the hard way.

Please tell me there is no company that cheats MTs like that!

Anytime now there will be a psychotic posting from a member of the management team telling us how YOU didn't pass their test and meet their high standards, and how THEY didn't want to hire you.  Anytime now, probably within the hour or two.
