MH - your e-mail address is invalid that you provided earlier - please update.  I have information regarding KP in Oklahoma that I would like to send to you.  There is a detective at the local police station that there would like you to contact him regarding the equpiment you never received.  I just called him earlier and he is going to help get me my $300 back. 

How can I copy Word 2003 from one computer to the other.  I want to have it on both computers.  Thanks so much for your help.

Can I also use 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse and 2 hard drives, one being Vista and other being XP. 

Thanks for your help.

Back in the day, over 20 years ago when I started transcribing, it was unheard of to transcribe slang in a report, but now you get your hand slapped if correct the slang.  Thanks AAMT for making it so acceptable.  Thank you AAMT for supporting outsourcing overseas. Thanks AAMT for making easier on those who taking our jobs away to not have know proper English.

  and I am sure gonna try to not overeat!! 

ENJOY Y'ALL!!   

I asked this over on the Instant Text forum, but no one answered me so I will ask it here.

Hi Everyone!

For those of you who use laptops, I was just curious if you would share your brand preference.  I currently have a Dell and I love it.  I am thinking of getting a second laptop so my son would be able to use this one for school and I would then have one just for work.  Like I said I have a Dell and love it (and will probably purchase another Dell) but before purchasing another, I want to make sure I am not missing something with another brand. 

TIA.

? Should re-evaluate be hyphenated or never hyphenated.  I am from the old school that it should be hyphenated to avoid doubling vowels but in QA I was told not to hyphenate it.  Should the word penicillin be capitalized when listed in allergies and not any place else?  Thanks

An ergonomic keyboard with laptop-type keys?  Keys similar to the Logitech DiNovo for example, but in split ergonomic keyboard style.  I think that would be my ideal keyboard.  I wonder why someone doesn't come up with one of those??  Any one else agree?  I really like the feel of the Logitech, but can't do the straight keyboard thing.  It kills my wrists and forearms.  I just bought a MS Natural Ergonomic 4000 today and like it okay so far, but if the keys were more laptop-like, it would be just perfect!

Not to show my ignorance, but what is a "gross line?"

It seems I've heard of a website like this before, but just can't remember. Thanks!

Just a quick vent - for the last 45 minutes I have mostly been listening to the sound of her breathing with an occasional "continuing dittation" thrown in here and there followed by more breathing .  I even heard someone in the background say "You can push 1 to put it on pause" which she does for a split millisecond and then continues back with her breathing/"continuing dittation"  pattern.   Not having a good day today.   Beam me up Scotty, Please !

I started with a company about three weeks ago, and here is the situation.  This is my first transcription job, so I think I was a little too eager to jump at the job offer when it was given to me.  They charge a "set up fee" of 100.00 that is taken out of the first paycheck.  I am only getting paid 5 cents/line, so I did not make that much more than the 100.00 (I think about 40.00).  The pay period ends on the last day of the month and checks are issued on the first of every month.  They do not offer direct deposit, so I have been waiting for the last nine days for my measly 40.00 check.  I really just want it to have documentation that I have paid the stupid set up fee (which I am embarrassed that I even agreed to).  I have emailed them 5 or 6 times with no response whatsoever.  They continue to send me work, and will (usually) answer questions regarding work, but NOTHING about my requests to see where my check is. 

I have since found a much better and higher paying position with another (wonderful) company, but I do not really want to put in my 2 weeks' notice until I have that check.  Any ideas??

Hey all,

I've contacted tech support at TT about this, and they referred me to Dictaphone tech support, and they weren't able to help either.  I am unable to affect anything on the playback with the little window -- I think it's called TransNet? -- I can move the sliders back and forth for volume, speed, rewind, etc., but they do nothing.  Has anyone had this problem, and been able to resolve it?  (Basically dictaphone said, "gee, i dunno!  Good luck to you!")  I like to be able to slow the dictator down when I can't understand them!  TIA!

I have a Sharp UX510 and have been somewhat happy with it up to now.

But I am experiencing a lot of paper jams and even though I followed the owner's manual to correct this, it still happens often - incoming faxes. Also, the prints I receive are not always that clear.

So my question is - anyone have a free-standing fax that you can recommend.

Thank you

After several years of transcribing from tape, two of my accounts are talking about going digital.  I know very little about this.  I did purchase a wave pedal and have downloaded Express Scribe.  I know nothing about FTP sites, but did download a demo of a site called CryptoHeaven, which is more like a secure community I think rather than an FTP site.  Of course I could be wrong there, since I'm really not sure what I'm talking about.  With the CryptoHeaven it seem as though there are multiple steps involved for the doctor to transfer his voice files.  I have been told that there is a way with FTP for the doctor to just plug in his recorder into the computer and it sends automatically.  I know nothing about setting up an FTP site (although would be excited to learn), which ones are good, or how much this would cost.  Also, is there an easier way?  Any information provided would be greatly appreciated.  Please be specific, as I feel totally lost.

Thank so much!!

I could use some help.  I have an opportunity to do some work for a doctor in CT, but I live in Maine.  I have heard that there are encrypted e-mail programs that may allow me to get sound files but I do not know of any.  I have also heard that FTP programs might work.  Can anyone help me with some ideas of how I could get the sound files across the internet?

Thanks,
