Don't believe the news media (sm)

In Reply to: Well...let's see. In 4 years rent in our area has increased at least $500/mo. - but..... sm

You are so right.  Everything is going up but our wages and it's happening all over.  It is time for everyone to get their finances in order.  We are all going to have to tighten our belts and get our finances in order and get rid of credit cards!

News flash..Don't know where you get your news, but the economy is doing very well.

My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.

As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.
I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!!

Might be the fact too that you are using XP Media and not XP Home or XP Pro

Alert The Media
Do you think you could draw the attention of the media for this cause? Maybe there's a spunky investigative report who would want to get the story out.
Typical media; what do they know.
nm
it is a form of media ...
for healthcare professionals.  It has a circulation.  It is readily available in schools.  All media matters because what is in the media influences the way people think.  I think it gives a negative view of us to those who call the shots over us who read it.  That's why I think it matters.
This is HEARSAY from media and/or Mrs. Twitty.
You all quote media as if it should be written in stone.  Obviously not enough credibility to hold this guy in jail for suspicion.
media play dictation

Anyone familiar with this?   My doc is dictating via internet.  It comes across on my media play and i can hear him but when i switch over to word there is no way to pause him from talking...........


The media will contact the AAMT

The AAMT will say the same old line about there not being enough US MTs. We need a good response for their lie.


Windows Media Player
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pedal with the Windows media player? I am doing some test reports and have been unable to use my pedal to start, stop, and rewind. Without the pedal, this will take forever!
It plays in Windows Media but..
I first get a message that it is not a recognized extension.
I'm not surprised that the media is trying to "spin" him into a hero
but he's unqualified and unethical. The tourists that were there were able to pay him to let them out of there first, plain and simple. Once again, consider the source.

Hero my foot.
It's all part of the media's waging war on Christians
They have now pulled out all stops and have no problem making us all look like a bunch of bible-banging hicks if we speak our minds.
Help with taking test with media player
Hi there....I have to take a test using Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how to type in Word and still be able to use the keyboard keys (no foot pedal yet).  If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Microsft digital media keyboard
I just bought the above keyboard.  I plugged into my dell computer and the functions like zoom in and out and my favorites do not seem to work.  I cannot find any directions other that what is in the box.    What am I doing wrong.  
Media Player/DSS format questions

This subject brings me to the problem I am having right now.  I have a WAV pedal program which my doctor and I just started using.  Going fine.  Then all of a sudden he changes his format and sent me a file with a WMA and it came up in the Media Player.  Oh, I saved the attachment in MY WAV files, but also have an archive file set up also.  It did not come up in MY WAV files, but thank goodness did automatically come up in the archive part in the Media Player, and I could not get it to work with my pedal either, so literally had to listen and stop, re-listen, and type, etc.  It took me 3 1/2 hours to do a 20 minute job!  I get so frustrated as I am not IS literate.  Now he has told me that he will be sending everything in DSS format and that I should go to a particular website and download so that I can get into it. Well he did not give me a model number, so cannot seem to get a download without it.  But this also makes me wonder where and how I should be setting up things to find the documents and where/how to save them.  Any tips are appreciated.  TIA


Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
The MEDIA is owned by 5 mega corporations
and they have an agenda almost if not more devious than certain politicians...

Remember the MEDIA is owned by FOR-PROFIT corporations. Corporations like this have a LEGAL responsibility to make as much money as possible for shareholders. What does that mean? It means they choose sensational garbage over substance to "report" - and in the case of this so-called war, they BENEFIT the reads PROFIT directly and indirectly, so they purposely censor the information that gets in the way of true public awareness.

If ANYone sincerely believes the media is our friend, they have not done their homework. Don't take my word for it: Google "who owns the media" and see any number of studies showing WHICH corporations own the major news corporation.

GE make "bring good things to life" BUT they ALSO make bombs (WMD) - AND they own NBC. Connect the dots yourself, and consider asking your reps in Congress for legislation to clean up the media.

Yes, there are crack reporters who are DYING to report the truth, but they are EDITED out by their supervisors who follow the agenda of the corporate bosses.

The facts are out there if you look for them.
I got a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard - sm
at Office Depot... not very expensive, (maybe $39?), and it has a great feature... a little lever off on the left side of the keyboard that if you want the letters to appear larger, you push it up, and smaller, you push it down. Only takes 1 finger. I LOVE it! :)
I would reverse the media player back
and see if that corrects the problem. If so, you might either decide you don't need the upgrade or contact Windows about a fix...

Make sure your plug is all the way in - sometimes it looks like it is but isn't seated.

Just do a restore to the day before you did the upgrade - or if you are uncomfortable with this uninstall the software and test your headphones...

just a thought.
Puleeze, the media is too worried bout being

No, you cannot use a foot pedal with Media Player.
Try downloading Express Scribe; it's free.
If it is a windows media audio file just .....sm
drag it into your open gear player box. You should be able to play the windows media file there, and use your foot pedal.


Will the file play in Windows Media or QT? ..nm

Windows Media Player and Foot Pedal

Does anyone have a simple solution to hooking up a VEC footpedal so that it works with Windows Media Player to stop and start?  The VEC hooks into a USB port on the computer and has 3 pedals, rewind, forward, and type. 


XP Media SP3 download w/DocQscribe conflicts, help needed

Can someone please advise me on any issues they have had with Windows XP Media Service Pack 3 download with DocQscribe.  I know of several MTs who could not work for days, after installing service pack 3, and tech support could not help them either.  I have not downloaded this yet because of this issue and need information about this prior to downloading it.  I was told their F command keys still do not work either.  TIA


About as long as the other media-creation of a marriage, Nick and Jessica

Just as a note, Windows Media player will NOT work with a footpedal.

Unless there's some voodoo magic out there that I'm not aware of.


Flashdrive question versus Windows Media Player
There are 32 files on this flashdrive.  I use a Stop/Start pedal.  In using my pedal, I have done all of the files but four.  Four of the 32 files show a length of about one hour each, but you cannot hear anything.  However, if you open this up in Windows Media Player, you can hear him talking.  What do I need to do about this?  I can't type using Windows Media without my pedal, and why do you think I can't hear just four of the 32 files with my Start Stop pedal?  This is a new thing for me and please pardon my ignorance, but I could really use your advice as soon as possible.  You can email me and thank you kindly.  Lisa
Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm

because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website).  Can you play any other types of files?  


Pedal won't work with Media Player, download Express Scribe. nm

you need to change your properties of those file types to open with ES and not media player. sm
go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.
Does anyone know how to adjust the speed of a Windows Media Player for testing purposes? nm Thanks

Gossip. Saw both interviews. Grossly misdone by the media to imply US hatred. Johnny Depp lives has
dual citizenship in France and US as his wife is French. He does NOT hate USA. He vehemently denied this. He did "own" that he said the USA sometimes seemed like an aggressive puppy, jumping on other countries to make them do something the USA wanted. Had to do with the whole French thing during the war.  That's ALL he said, and he later said he is not politically savvy and should have kept his mouth shut.  He was sad for all the American soldiers being killed. 
Gateway from BestBuy a year ago--XP, though--Gateway Media Ctr computer
Has been great, really great. Fast. Was $579. and you can purchase an extended warranty to get work done at Best Buy, although I haven't used it at all.

Gateway was bought by somebody else, so don't know if their quality is going to suffer. I have really been impressed with the Gateway I bought. It had AMD processor, but everything's been fine.

It comes with a great restore disk--I used it once, when I tried to UNINSTALL the TRIAL PROGRAM of MICROSOFT WORD. So--- IF you get a computer that has MIcrosoft Trial Versions on, just KEEP THEM ON, becuase like all things Microsoft, it cannot be uninstalled with the uninstall program like any other program-- it has to ** up the computer (would not boot up at all, wouldn't do anything). SO, just keep the Microsoft Trial junk on if it comes with. And, as an aside, don't ever buy the license to the trial if you want it. Buy a real copy and get the disk.

FYI
WOW, that is news. Thanks. nm

old news
This same type of e-mail has been passed around for years. It will not work. Check it out on snopes.com.
Very sad news

As hard as it is, you did the kindest thing you could.  Why is it that cats want to curl up on your foot that is running the foot pedal?  Or on top of your mouse?  Or in front of your monitor?


You have my sympathy.  Cats are people too!  Sometimes my cat seems to be the only one who understands me....at least the only one who listens.


 


Just saw that on the news!

where on fox news?
can't find it. can you post the link? I heard "rumors" that he has already received several offers..everything from being a popular band's new lead singer to solo recording deals. I hope to hear more from him soon. I really enjoyed his perfomances.
This is old news. sm
I can't even remember the name right now (not memorable anyway), but as I recall "Medical Transcripton" no longer appear in the name.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong. 
Could be bad news
If you have been out of work for 9-10 months for the past couple of year you might not be eligible for unemployment as you have to work so much in the past 5 quartes - 2005 to 2006 to be eligible.  And if you did not make much, then your benefit will be very little and yout IC could set off that.  You can look a lot of this up on your state's page.   They usually list what qualifies for it and what does not.  But good luck.  We all need help at one time or another and that is what it is there for.  I am more for you getting unemployment than an illegal coming into the states and having a surgery that I could not afford and we as tax payers pay for it.  Know that opens up another bucker of worms but that is my feeling. 
bad news ....

I was quite excited about your suggestion.  I talked with my daughter - that is out of my son's area of expertise. She works with software. She said it would have to be piggy backed onto the transcription software. I don't think companies would allow that.  I also thought about having a little gold coin dropping into a bucket on the screen after every line but she said same thing, piggy back. Oh well, back to my footpedal idea.


 


FOX has *nothing* to do with NEWS nm
no message (much like FOX, except for their messages of hate and intolerance).
that is old news - nothing new -
Philips is interested in selling their holdings in MQ.  Nothing has been announced further.  No mention of impending or imminent sale but we know the possibility exists.
