I'm confused about logging in and such....do we have to enter our details with every post?

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about posting on MTstars. It seems I have to fill out my name, email and subject, with each post. Then I have to type in a number in response to a confirmation box.

Is this how MTstars works? I thought we had to just log in and would remain that way for a whole session?

Anyone care to comment (i.e. explain how it works to my confused brain).

Cheers.

I am a little confused by your post....what do you mean by it does not - sm
fit into your speakers? The player is on your desktop and will play the sound either from your computer speakers or a set of headphones through the headphone jack on the front or back of your CPU. I don't think there is a connection between the footpedal and the speakers, and no one in a store is probably going to be able to help you with regards to your footpedal. If you have the right footpedal for your version of Bytescribe (I use the 9-pin) it should work fine, if not maybe your sound is set on mute, try checking your settings.
I'm kind of confused about your post
Are you currently working in a casino but want to go back to transcription??

Where are you located that the pay is so low?? If you are looking to get back into transcription - depending on where you are, I might know of a hospital that is hiring - I kind of want to guess that you are in Arizona, but I'm probably wrong.

Let me know
Confused by your post. Can only make $25 per
x
LOL, I love your post! I'm not angry at all, just...CONFUSED!
MT30+ responded on here to what was directed to Whew, which is what made me go "huh"??? I couldn't figure it out even after another cup of coffee...Glad it confused you too.

Congrats, MT30+ or Whew, whoever you are. I am very happy for you!!!
Yes, find the Secret Santa post and click the email link to enter.
GOOD LUCK
Any testing sites out there to access the files w/o logging in? Just

Details?

Can you give us any particulars as to what goes on?  Is it like the dolphin industry used to be with indiscriminate capturing of dolphins along with the tuna?  Is it the numbers that are horrific (heading them towards extinction), is it the method they use, or what?  We all know that seal hunting goes on, done by the Inuit and so on, but has it spilled over commercially?   Please let us know and tell us some FACTS.   I am a softie but I do not like to be manipulated falsely, either.  Care to comment? 


(For the record, I would definitely boycott their food and tell them why, as well, if you relay true and brutal information.)


details
Need to know a bit more about the account.  Tapes with p/u and delivery, printing, or will it be all digital?   Are you doing gross or cpl?  What is their volume? Just me but if it were pick up and delivery of tapes and printed material, I would probably go for 0.12 cpl.  With the same dictators and chart notes you will be able to get a lot of standards set up and Auto Corrects and so should be able to get close to 300 lines per hour once you are used to the account.   Do a search as this has been discussed many, many times in the past.   What do you want to make per hour? 
To Need Details
Hi, I can answer a couple of your questions.  HandyBits is a free download to encrypt files. After you encrypt them, you send them as email attachments.  It's very easy and after you encrypt them there's a red circle on each file showing that it's encrypted.  Hope this helps!
details..
It was all over this board a few years ago. I'll try to find it and gladly pass along the info.
Details, please?
With regard to the horrible account in Florida, what exactly renders it horrible? Is it poor sound quality, horrible ESL, no work, or something else (or all of the above, lol)? When I hear an MT generalize as horrible, all sorts of nightmarish possibilities run thru my addled brain.

Thanks in advance :-)
Details---I will explain
Promised there would be others on my accounts in the hours I worked there was never a single person on during the hours I worked on Army accounts. It was a huge disappointment. After being with for a month they finally got me the IM list it was never loaded when software was installed. I know several others here in my state that have worked for them and have quit for the same reasons. Poor management......
what exactly are these three MTs suing about? Any details? Do they

That sounds like you want details
so you can live vicariously?
Could you please give more details on what
kind of macros you use? I'd appreciate it immensely.
There is something new - Registered MTs - but I don't know details
dd
yes, give us some details. we all need 60K

how many hours a week?


Please let me know the details of the union.
Yes we do need a union
I would just keep it basic, without details. - sm
When I left my ex-employer, I had all kinds of grievances. But the bottom line is, they already knew each and every one of them, because I had already told management about them (in addition to the other MTs telling them the same things!) As an inhouse job, they also dud exit interviews. I skipped that, too. If there was something they didn't know about why I or anyone else that worked there was leaving, they could just figure it out for themselves.
I don't know any details, but my hubby

Bush sending checks out again.  He wasn't sure of the amount though, and I didn't ask him where he heard it.      Would be awful nice though huh? 


I'm a home MT but I can see details
of time of dictation and transcription of my work and other work.  If you don't have access to see what has been typed and when it was dictated to confirm your suspicion of cherrypicking, then you need to ask what is going on.  If they play dumb, tell them you can't afford to do all garbage all the time and that you will be looking for a new company with fair work distribution.  See if they find some good work for you in a hurry.
I will give you details, no BS
I make 35 to 40K a year. I work for MQ. I have 13+ years experience. I do acute care, lots of ops, about 50% ESL, 20% ASR, and use expansions extensively. I work my schedule (split shift), 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I don't allow interuptions while working, and I do not browse this board while working. I take advantage of any OT. I appreciate the national pool when my accounts run low. I have been with other companies who run out of work a lot and came back to MQ because I have a family to feed and need the consistent work and paycheck MQ offers. I have never been without a job as MT.

I know many MTs who make as much and some more than I do, some with their own accounts and some full time with nationals.

Just my personal experience.
Ah, the truth is in the details. :)
You didn't say another program was being used to cap for you. My Instant Text automatically caps for me where Word will not.
I too am from Monrovia and have yet to hear any details!
Please share if anyone finds anything out!
Yes....$50 per week...details inside..SM
What a God-Send it is !  We have 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2600 sq. ft altogether.  She cleans top to bottom, changes linens, hand scrubs my kitchen floor (tile), and does "extras" once monthly such as Murphy's oil to my kitchen cabinets, cleans out the refrig, cleans the oven (self clean but racks too), cleans the windows, 2 per week, baseboards, high dusting, pulls out the refrig every 4 months, and any other projects we do together such as cleaning out cabinets, closets, pantry, etc.  It is SO worth it.  My hubby and I used to argue about whose job it was to clean (when I worked outside the home), so someone suggested a cleaning lady and it was worth not arguing.  I kept her when I started working at home.  I get paid for something I do well, and I am the first to pay others when they can do something better than me and something I HATE to do (toilets anyone?)...She is there for about 4 hours every week. Hope this helps you!  It sure helps me and I thank her when she gets here and thank her again when she leaves! 
Thank you, I will make note of those details! nm

independent setup details

Have you considered a consultant?  I know a very good one who not only works with independent transcriptionists but also assists acute care facilities with new information systems.  I would be happy to send you the info. 


Find us the details of this lawsuit.

Details? Just general accusations do no good sm
A lot of generalized mud slinging with absolutely no facts. I'm very, very happy at OSi...best move of my career going with them.
You can also get the details of the line count. That's very interesting.
For those who want to see how MQ arrives at your line count or want to see the old report. It's Greek to ME but geeks might learn a thing or two about MQ "weights" and line counts. Let me know if you find anything out of whack or interesting!!!
Without knowing the details of your finanacial situation . . .
it's impossible to know.  If you have good credit 18 points shouldn't be hard to do.  Didn't he have any other suggestions?  One thing you can do is, if you have a good banking relationship, get a small signature loan from that bank and pay it back in 30 days.  That will raise your score, but ONLY if the bank doesn't pull a credit report, since that takes off a few points.  Get a $500 or $1000 loan, let it sit in your account, and then pay it back.  It will only cost a month's interest and should raise your score enough.
You need somebody to write a macro for you and they would need specific details, sm
such as the full path of the folder where your documents are stored. You'd probably have to pay somebody to write the macro for you if you can't write them yourself. Sometimes you can get people to volunteer to write a macro on various MS Word tech support boards.
Get a refund? Check details of your auction
Hopefully your auction included the potenitality of a refund (buyer may or may not have known of a defect) and there is often a buyer's protection offered for items of this amount. Check out those possibilities quickly as you don't have unlimited time to make a claim.

I would unplug the C-phone and then unseat and re-seat all connectors. Make sure you have the connectors in the right way, and also of course check that volume control :) !

good luck.
I don't have time to refer to reference the law details but (sm)

You'd be surprised!

An employer has the right to answer questions, but a prospective employer is limited as to what they can ask. Unfortunately, not enough smaller businesses know and follow these rules, thus a terminated employee ends up being blackballed.
Not OP and don't care to discuss details BUT OSI hired for a specific

specialty that most MTs love and then overstaffed the account.  When MTs ran out of work on that speciality account, OSI offered to switch them to another speciality on a more difficult account. To go to work with OSI required much time testing, negotiating, training and specific equipment purchased so you have already made a time and financial investment only to discover that the specialty you were promised doesn't have enough work so to survive you either take the back-up account which is not as financially rewarding as the one you were promised or you lose the money and time you have put into going to work with OSI.  I also quit my other job so I could work full time for OSI based on promises made that were never intended to be kept. 


.(This is me after discovering what OSI was all about and not at all as promised)

How do you enter to win?
And where do we see the prizes?  Thanks
i enter the first 4 letters...sm
Every time I come to a drug I enter the first four letters of the drug in Autocorrect, capping it if needed.  I think this is quicker than sitting down and entering a bunch at once. 
You can only enter one time
for each giveaway, but if you have already won a prize you cannot enter anymore. That is what that means. You can absolutely enter for each prize, but in order for others to have a chance to win, you shouldn't enter if you have already won.
had to manually enter the big
anything that you save as a (I think it's called) SmartBlock (saves directly into a Word document), you have to move manually.  I only had about 20-30 of those, so I just did a cut and paste from the Word document directly into Shorthand.  I had to change some of the commands (like how to bold or indent).  You actually have to set those commands manually in Shorthand.  It's a bit confusing on those issues at first, but once you catch on to it, you can do, say, 5 a day, and it won't take too long.
That is what I was thinking, enter those
into autocorrect and you will never do it wrong again. I have a lot of words in there that are mistakes I usually make and it just corrects it for me. Good luck!
anyone know how to enter an entry for
-year-old where I don't have to backspace the expansion?
You don't have to hit the enter key for ths to happen.
It sounds like you highlighted the phrase and you also captured the end of paragraph mark (that was probably hidden), which will make the entry go down a line. Do it again and make sure you are only highlighting the words.
Ctrl+Enter

keyword/text to type/ and then there is an okay butten.  I am use to doing this same operation in autocorrect but without using the mouse (where i use the tab and enter key once I program it.) .  The O on the okay button is underlined but I can't seem to use the alt/o to have the program OKAY my new entry.  I am trying to read this help guide and I am really struggling.  I wish someone could write instructions that weren't in computer languange.  sigh.  Thanks once again
