I have yet to find pedal that works with dss. If

I think any foot pedal works

I have a pretty generic one that works.  I have had to change the settings in Expresscribe to make sure the files on the testing platforms come through okay, but I've never had a problem with the foot pedal.


I think the only foot pedal you would have problems with is one that is specifically for Dictaphone.  Those only work with Dictaphone platforms.


Should have added below that my Infinity USB pedal works with it as well.

I always ask if we can start out with my pedal and see if it works, then offer to get a new one if

Most software works with a USB pedal with the exception of a very few.

Not sure, but from what I understand just about every pedal works with express scribe. HTH.

Bought Infinity foot pedal 9 pin and works with Expresscribe.
Specifically what foot pedal did you buy and why can't Expresscribe help you if you bought it from them?
Check your USB drivers. The printer works off the printer driver. The pedal needs a joystick

driver in order to work.  You have to configure your USB port for this.


Always comes down to the bucks, they can sugarcoat but is the bucks!

I'll pay shipping for some of that sauce! :)

I don't know how you find the time. Of course, then again, I've been back and forth on here when I should be finishing crocheting my new grandson's baby blanket.


Little guy had to arrive a month early when I only had 5 rows done. If I had done 5 more rows, we could wrap the munchkin up in it now. :)


Amazon has cheapest shipping (sm)
I tried transcriptiongear -- for what they wanted in shipping, I was able to buy an extra set of Sony headphones from Amazon plus pay for 2-day UPS shipping. Or try your local Radio Shack -- you can search their site online and see if something is in stock locally.
Try Ebay! Got mine for $14 plus shipping CD-Rom! nm

I have one (USB) I am selling for $85 (this includes shipping)
when I bought it I was told to get USB. I don't even know if it comes in PS/2 or not. It does not matter what your keyboard it as far as I know. My keyboard is a wireless with an transmitter plugged in at the PS/2 port. Ask the MTSO which you should buy and you should have your answer if you are worried. But if you want mine I take PayPal and M.O. --- it is basically brand new, used for about 2 hours, have original box too. But is is a IN-PI-USB. See my note on the Classified's page.
Shipping Internationally does not cost that much.
That in itself is a falsehood. Global priority mail envelope which would fit a pin or a periodical is 11.00 USA. They would just have to chart the Transcriptionist or firm that over in India. So, wondering if this small thing is a lie, what else is in this statement. Selling on e bay, I have even sent boxes of things overseas all over the world and flat rate box is 24 bucks USA. Just interesting they say 11.00 is high, for global priority. One falsehood leads to another IMHO. Integrity with falsehood. Interesting.
I saw these on Amazon for only $70 and free shipping!

They have them at newegg.com for $20 with free shipping ...
but it might be a limited-time offer.
J &R Electronics discount 83.00 with free shipping. sm
Not a bad deal.  just wondering about quality with just voice and not music. 
tvps.com is offering same day shipping if ordered by 3p. nm

Know of this - its fantastic
Have been using this for well over a year now and its been a really great help in finding words. I have this as my homepage now, instead of Google. It has all the features of Google, but just so much better. Guess its due to all those medical websites added to its database. If you use this, you'd notice that the first few search results pages almost always show up quality medical links. Normally, you don't have to go beyond a maximum of two search results pages to get what you are lookin for. Try it - you'd know what I'm talkin about :)

that's fantastic! congrats!!

how did you get so lucky to find a man that can actually voice his appreciation of you to you!!???  there aren't many out there like that.


what about the fantastic four, remember them?
I think there is a movie out about them, but my boyfriend and his brother liked the characters from childhood. For their basketball team, they had T-shirts made up; one was the torch, one was the rubber man, etc.

Since they brought it back and made a movie, it may be a bit overdone now, though.

Gee, are these four boys, four girls, ages - do they like scary or are they just small?


Fantastic Sams

Do you have a Fantastic Sams in your area.  In my area they do a good job and they don't cost a fortune.  But in all cases, be careful about who you let color your hair.  You can also lookup the websites of the different hair color products on the Internet and some of them have a consultation area where you can talk to someone to get advice.


Ours is right at $3, but I get FANTASTIC gas mileage.
I feel for those of with you SUV's and minivans. Filling those up has got to be expensive.
Fantastic!!!! Good for you :-) nm

OMG!!! That was totally fantastic! sm
Such great talent for a little boy.  
Who is this fantastic company? May want to apply.

Fantastic and THANKS. Apprecitate the replies! nm

Katharine is my top pick by far. Fantastic all around. nm

Hey, Ghost, yes, I got these two years ago, they are fantastic,,,,,sm
They really block out any noise around your house, are comfortable, but best of all they produce crisp, clear, life-like sound for all those mumble-mouth dictators.....won't solve everything, but I have been doing this over 25 years, used Dictaphone, and many many other brands, Bose rocks, not to mention using them for music listening, absolutely awesome and worth the bucks, IMHO! 
I thought Transolutions was sooo fantastic, don't they have something to help you with that?

I believe fantastic transcripts only hires locals - sm
But I am not sure. If that is the company out in Burbank/LA - I thought they only hire within 30 minutes of the area. I could be wrong.
Been working on a fantastic project at work...sm
Helping prepare for President Bush to come and give his Veterans Day speech from where I work.  It's amazing to see how they put everything together in a few short days. We got word less than a week ago he was even coming, and now we are overrun with preparations and White House/Security staff. Hoping I can get a ticket for my 10 y/o daughter to come to see the speech. If you would have told me 15 months ago when I took this job that I'd be working on this now, I never would have believed you. I worked at home for 13 years, so this is all really huge switch for me.
Sounds fantastic. I wouldn't stres-sm
about it.  The colors sound great--the menu sounds delicious.  Either place you put the food would be fine.  Have fun!
What a fantastic, cogent, and TRUTHFUL post.....sm
We at home have been reduced, in most part, to a pair of hands who are there to pound out high-quality work at all times, put out high-volume work to bring in the $$$ for the company/corporation, and because we are employed at home in order to save physicians, hospitals, and other health care systems $$$, we are where the buck stops, and it is a small buck at that. We are all a separate entity, working remotely, and as such it is easier for many MTSOs to offer the slimmest package they possibly can, and squeeze the most out of the workers. When will companies realize that a happy worker who feels valued and cared about is a more productive, loyal, and healthier asset to the company. I have worked in hospitals with unions, and to be honest, we would still be making half of what we now make were it not for union negotiations standing up for us, the dues are small compared to the guaranteed packages, and guaranteed raises built in to the contract for the next five years, as inflation eats up our paychecks. MTs study hard, must be experts at anatomy, epidemiology, grammar, semantics, translations for ESLs, understand clinical procedures during difficult procedures, edit, trouble-shoot when there is a problem with a file, be tech-savvy....I truly think, after almost 20 years, that MT as a profession has consistently been undervalued and undermined by offshoring. Sorry to rant, but all of these problems have hurt and affected most MTs for many, many years, and their families. Thanks!
Fantastic program .. I have hired MTEC
grads and have been really pleased with them. I would definitely suggest you choose that program. Wonderful education and caring staff.
This is a fantastic idea actually (renting hotel room)
It may be tax deductible. I actually like my home and it is affordable as I got it at a low price several years ago and put a big down payment on it. In other words, I doubt if I could repeat this. No small children. What I am thinking of is that I will probably have to work until I am 60 at least. The only other option would be to go back to school and get training in another skill but even that seems difficult. I have no idea what I could learn and work at other than nursing.

Thank you very much
This would be just a "regular" 3-pedal pedal and not the Dictaphone pedal. nm

Wedding websites are fantastic..that address can be shared on the save the date card.

Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
You can buy just the Start/Stop software w/o the pedal if you're able to use your pedal as a VEC

Bringing up ExpressScribe pedal question again. Does anyone have 9-pin Infinity pedal on a USB?

tia


RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM
.
Is there ONE pedal I can buy that will work with ALL platforms? And where do I shop for a pedal?
.
A wave pedal is a foot pedal that connects to either
serial port, game port, or USB depending on the software needed with it.   You have to download the work via the internet and most companies still require high-speed internet, though some allow dial-up or satellite.   A pedal costs about $70, though can find on e-bay cheaper.  You can download ExpressScribe for free to use with the foot pedal unless the company requires a different software program. 
And it's only 107 bucks.....

You want BIG BUCKS?

Big bucks sm
DRG's may get in the way, but some of the less professional are accepting "cash cow" kickbacks from drug companies. One local group (some of these receptionists are dippy and brag about it) was treated to a local restaurant with food, games, etc., with gift cards which had very high spending limits. Many are provided with free lunch and kickbacks for prescribing brand name instead of generic drugs. I overheard one rep myself with my own ears telling his trainee to smarten one doc up about his cash cow because he was presribing generics. It is passed off at times as a library fund, etc., but it's a kickback. All these perks such as bags, pens, coffee cups, scratch pads, etc., are being paid for by the poor patient. Some, not all, are still on the take. I could go on and on, but when is the general, uneducated public going to wake up and smell the kickbacks?
OP wants to do it for big bucks...
at least she should make comparable to what she is making now. And what do you think mentoring is...but more training?
Big Bucks????

In it for the bucks
I work for a pediatric urologist in Arizona. If I could follow him down there, I would have been gone 4 years ago. No ifs, ands, or buts. He may be the exception, but I would not trade him for the best, clearest doctor in the world. He spells the names of all the doctors he gets as consults, even the foreign ones (to the best of his ability). He even spells effect and affect, descent and decent, and other words I know, but that is just the way he is.

I am sure there are other doctors out there just as easy to type as he is, and as considerate, but they are getting harder to find all the time. I think some of them are only interested in the bottom line. and those that aren't are almost nonexistent. IMO.
