Instant Messenger
I could not stand being on Instant Messenger 24/7. They drove me nuts. I could never get a break. I felt like they were watching me like a hawk. I do not like instant messenger when I am working. I refuse to accept a job using IM. The office manager never was around. Always was on cruises. Had to deal with the staff. They were nice, however.

First, their HIPAA officer is an idiot and says to use MSN messenger for pt names.

ANYONE with any brain knows that MSN is not a secure environment for patient names, but when confronted and asked, she said yes we could say patient names in that.  A friend of mine who worked there at the same time told them that she would NOT use patient names in messenger.


i wish she had reported that idiot to the bulldogs!


That was annoying to me.
Too many emails, too many documents. Just leave me alone and let me do my job. I only need to know about QA feedback. The rest of it is a time stealer.

Other companies use instant messaging, but I'd rather do my own research than rely on someone else. I don't mean that as an insult. I think it's great that people help each other out and share information. I've been burned by it, though.
BUT did you PAY her, annoying or not
you should pay your workers
annoying
What things do you find annoying when transcribing (ex. docs spelling out wrong words, telling you where to put commas)?
What's annoying about it is (sm)
My company gave us what she would probably consider a cheesy gift.  I don't consider it cheesy, and I love the company I work for, whether they give us a bonus or not.  I can't stand braggarts.  It's low class.
Fun with Annoying Callers!
I've got a plan for those annoying telemarketers, and bill collector calls that we all hate getting. Actually, I have several schpiels I use randomly for my own amusement, but this was one of my favorites.

 

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
     
Hello. I said answering the phone.
     
Hi. My name is Mitzi and I'm calling on behalf of the Disabled Fish of America. We are an organization for Crippled, Finless Fish who have ick disease. We would like to know if we can count on your support for a donation?
    
B 9.
  
What was that? She asked.
     
I said, Bee NINE.
     
Ma'am did you hear what I said? It's not a benign condition, seriously ick is a deadly condition and these fish are finless.

  

Yes, I heard you. Eye Two Seven.     

 

I'm sorry what did you say?
  
I-27. Now, try to pay attention. 

  

What are you talking about? She said.

  

N Fourty Five.

  

Is this 555-1212?

  

Yes it is. Please ma'am, don't interrupt me. G Fifty Eight.

  

Gee what?

  

G-FIVE EIGHT.


  

You are crazy.

  

O-80.

  

Ate who? She asked.

 


I said, 0-Eight Zero.
  
Oh, this is such bull!
  
Bingo!  Hold your cards people, we have a winner!!

 


&$*# \%*((?#! She said.
  
Thanks you for playing. Better luck next time!

Very stupid and very annoying - ARE YOU FOR REAL - sm
It is Diskriter's equipment. What if you go onto a website that is not related to work, and it ends up infecting THEIR computer with a virus? Did you ever think of that?? Did you ever think about how long you would be out of work because of it? It's not that they are being nosy, it is more or less for your protection and their protection. What if your kids or partner get on the computer and play around and go onto sites that bring on a virus. How would you feel about not being able to work for a few days while the computer is being repaired?

There is nothing annoying or stupid about it. Just think about it!
Why on earth would you call it annoying?!

I'd call it being tenacious and knowing exactly and getting exactly what you want.  I'd go full on balls-to-the-wall!  Are you a mouse or an MT?!


 (This is so not right, but it's the only warrior image I could find!)


Then why keep b*tching about it? you guys are annoying. sm
Either IMPROVE YOUR SITUATION BY GOING WHERE THERE IS WORK or shut up about it. It's simple.
I agree-team mail is very annoying
I had to keep mine turned off--too distracting...
Sounds like Futurenet. I find it rather annoying.

You know, you do not have to respond to these posts if you find them annoying!
What are you, the post police?  If these posts annoy you so much, why do you feel a responsibility to respond?  **I'm telling**??  Control issues maybe?  No one is making you read them or participate you know.
Annoying, Condescending, Uppity Snakes in Suits

Dont you just love how these offices screw around with your income. It is very annoying and I
sometimes wonder if they get the full implication of what they are doing to our paychecks because they are stupid enough to believe you can do all hospitals exactly the same which of course you cant.
lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
Instant text and OSI
When I was there about six months ago, I used IT and it worked fine. You need an expander to make any money there....and still not easy to make with the system/amount of demographics you have to enter.
I use Instant Text sm

I use Instant Text with EXText without a problem. 


I believe the EXText software is better than some, and certainly better than DocQScribe. 


I think the pay is fair -- the more difficult accounts are paid at a higher rate. 


The real problem with OSi is running out of work due to overstaffing, even with backup accounts.  The flip side is the bonus program for high production when the account falls behind.  Seems like am employee stability problem for some reason I can't figure out. 


INSTANT TEXT
Does anyone know if Intant Text has a trial version to use to decide if you like it before you buy it?

All I can say is that I have Instant Text and it has interfaced with every kind of platform I've ever connected it with. Never have had any trouble with it whatsoever.
Can Instant Text be used with
TIA!
I'm trying to use Instant Text.

I also have the the Saving Keystrokes book, but am so busy, don't have time to check it all out. I used to do macros back before Windows was born, but now cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do any that work.


Hopefully, when the work is a bit more caught up, I can spend some time with the book.


Does anyone know if Instant Text
TIA
Have you tried Instant Text?
I tried that with Dragon, too. Major waste of time and money. If only I had bought Instant Text then, instead of Dragon. The best way to make money in this business is to become the absolute master of Instant Text. In less time than it takes to INSTALL Dragon, you will be using Instant Text with ease. My productivity increased massively the very first hour! It's a great investment. I really, really need to reduce the mileage on my wrists, so I decided to give IT a shot, and it's working!

Does anyone here use Instant Text along with Extext Word Client? Thanks.
Any MDI-MD MTs using Instant Text? I need help (sm)
Okay, when I use Instant Text in Bayscribe, it will not capitalize after the colons, and this is so irritating.  Does this do this to you? Also, for some reason, sometimes it will capitalize after a period and sometimes not.  There seems to be a glitch.  I called tech support at Instant Text and I updated with the latest revision but it is still sporadically not capitalizing after the periods.  I have both Bayscribe and Instant Text set to capitalize after a period.  Are any of you having this problem?  It is costing me a bunch of time and not to mention causing a lot of frustration. 
Instant Text
I purchased IT from another MT on this forum and I love it! She sold it to me for $95, plus $5 shipping, so that was around $85 off the retail price. I always buy my software this way, and I check ebay also.

I like IT because most of the macros (glossaries) are already pre-loaded, versus having to make every one yourself. It will also continue sentences and you pick the right phrase, or you can customize your glossaries. It takes a little time to learn it all because it does so much, but it is worth the investment, in my opinion.
Instant Text
InstantText has a forum you can go to to address this problem as I have just recently had this very same thing happen to me. I only resolved it when I went to the link provided in the form to download a revision of IT Pro.
Plus they don't require you to be on instant

Are you on the email group for Instant Text? If so I just sent out an email today with some commands. You can reply to that so I know your email at work. I think since you are on Chartmatrix, you might not be in that email group. You can do reply by email here but I actually have an older email on here-- but tell me you are emailing me and I will check that one. Just trying to get around putting my email on the board here, know what I mean?
Instant Text user
Does anyone out there using Instant Text have problems with it?  I have used IT for years and recently upgrade to Pro Version 5.23, using with WP 12 and Word 2000.  Just within the last couple of months I have been having trouble with IT just unlinking itself with WP or Word, whichever I'm using.  I swear I'm not doing anything but just typing away; I'll type a shortcut and it won't expand and I'll notice that IT has unlinked itself.  I have written to IT and they have basically told me they don't know what's wrong, that it must be my computer.  I've gone on their website and upgraded the fix for WP 12 users and all and I'm still having that problem.  Another problem I'm having (and I'm sure there's got to be a setting that I don't know about) is that when I go online to research something (while I'm working/typing MT stuff or whatever), IT will automatically link itself to the internet, etc.  Anybody have any suggestions to help me out?  Thanks, I appreciate any help.  Maybe it IS my computer, but if anybody else has had this problem please let me know if you and how/if you were able to fix it.  Thanks again.

Try www.worldstart.com and ask one of their techs in the message board if they can help you. This site is great for all kinds of computer problems. They have helped me quite a few times and it is free. They also will tell you if you want to know the best antivirus, popup blocker, etc to use and most of them are free. Good luck.
Can Instant text be used with OSI software?
I really would like to know if anyone working at OSi use Instant text.  If not, how is the software?  Thanks.
I use Instant Text with EXText. NM

Can you use Instant Text with Transhealth's

Instant Text should work
It has the capability to link to any program you have running, even email, so while I've never tried it with IChart, it's worked with every program I've ever run.
Any MDI-MD employees use Instant Text? nm

Can Instant Text be used with ExText instead of the
built in ESP Expander program?
re: AutoCorrect/Instant Text
I, too, have used AutoCorrect exclusively for the last 2 years and have been able to do very well on my line counts; however, after some recent research into Instant Text I ordered it (and actually just received today).  While I have not had time to use it yet, I really like the fact that it has WAY more capability than AutoCorrect.  I can't wait to experiment with it and believe it will prove to be a worthy investment when I learn all of its possible functions.
I use Instant Text and Bayscribe (sm)
Instant Text has a converter program within itself. The Intant Text technical support can answer any questions you have and will help you if you decide to purchase $189 and worth every penny!
Instant Text question

It's probably in the manual but I can readily find it.


 


How do I bold type something and same it as bold type???


 


Thanks.


Instant Text and Chartscript

Just got switched to a Chartscript account.  I am wondering if anyone has been able to use their Instant Text in Chartscript.


 


Or, should I simply bite the bullet, and abandon it in lieu of the Expander program that comes with the system.


Instant text pro V and DocQscribe

Any Precyse people currently using Instant Text Pro V on DocQScribe platform?  Just wanted to know how well it works for you and if it is really compatible with DocQscribe.


DocQscribe and Instant Text
I have been using DocQScribe and Instant Text and they work great together. Instant Text is compatible with most Word-based platforms, and it is the BEST Expander I have ever used.
Instant Text and ExtText
I worked on ExtText 2 years ago with Instant Text Pro V, and it worked great!
I Know Med Platform - Instant Text?

Is there anyone out there that has used the I Know Med platform?  Does Instant Text work with it?  I was offered a position with Aces Up and that is their platform.  Thanks


Instant Text Answer
You're actually typing in your own copy of Word for this particular client, so anything that currently works for you in Word, will continue to work.
