If your company does not give you the codes..

Posted By: beNice on 2009-01-21
In Reply to: what company are you working - for?

which I am sure they will I will be glad to assist you.  I can possibly get you the codes tomorrow as I will have my daughter scan and copy it and then email it to me and I will email it to you.  Most likely your company will get that to  you. Good luck...

KT, is there any way you could give us a hint as to who this company is
If this company has a recruiter like this pushing and pushing to do interviews and hire people and then pulls out, I do not think any of us would want to work for that company for fear of what happened to you. I truly sympathize with what happened to you. Although I do not have kids, I too need to work just to pay bills, keep a roof over my head, etc. To work for a company like this would make me hesitant about job security.

I do hope you will consider maybe telling us who this was. I also want to say that I admire the fact that you didn't bash the company or the recruiter, unlike so many people on this board do.
Not that I don't want to give you the company I work for...sm
It is Alphamed, but I wouldn't recommend it to you because I have hardly any work right now so I know they aren't hiring. If you did work there you would go broke if you didn't have a husband to back up your pay.
An idea of who this company is or where located would give you

I am planning to give this company Manipha
Global some test files. From there I can verify who's telling the truth. The forum readers will definitely hear a feedback from me in a week or two.
So, imagine the company that does not allow QA to give feedback, what does the MT learn then?
They learn that they've got no problems, they're not making any mistakes as they don't hear from QA, their work must be TERRIFIC.

MTs need feedback, no matter how long they've been in the profession. They don't need nasty feedback, just reminders if they are making errors to keep track of themselves. I know if I get feedback that I've done something wrong in a report it certainly makes me be more careful and I've even had to change some of my shortcuts to not make some mistakes.
What do you think your company will give you for Christmas: (Survey, I guess, LOL)

Field Codes
Not sure if this is what you mean, but if you place field codes (CTRL + F9) in the appropriate places in your template, you can jump to them by pressing F11.
Field Codes - yes that's it...
thank you so much.
Jump Codes
In Word -- go to View - toolbars - check forms.  Now on your top toolbar you should see a little box with 'ab' and a check mark next to it.  Put your cursor where you want the jump code and click on the 'ab.'  Jump code will come in. 
You mean ASCII codes? Try here:

Only problem - when I jump to the , it deletes the as it should but leaves an extra space between the : and the > so I always have to backspace - any suggestions???  TIA!!


Why Time Codes?
Hello,

Time code stamps are used for a variety of purposes. First, it makes it much easier to find where you are in the audio when you are reading through a transcript. For example, a 6-hour medical conference can generate a 300 page transcript. It's not always possible for the Transcriptionist to identify all the speakers, but the end user of the transcript often knows who is speaking by his/her voice. With a time coded transcript, the end user can go directly to the point in the audio that they are interested in.

Also, if you want to create scrolling text with video editing software, you have to give the program time codes. Some companies that do online CME use a scrolling transcript on the page. Time codes let the program know what text to display at what time.

Finally (and this is the application I'm least educated about), after a movie is filmed, the production company often requires a very detailed transcript of the movie, including time codes.

There are probably other applications, but these are the first that come to mind.

Does anyone know how to set stop codes in

Word?  TIA!


Stop Codes
Its Ctrl F9 to create the stop.  Ctrl F11 takes you through the document.
Stop codes. sm.
What do you use stop codes for?  I know how to use jump codes, but how can I incorporate stop codes into transcribing document?  TIA.
Need Help W/Stop Codes
I've tried saving the stop codes as part of my template in my AutoCorrect in Word, but whenever I pull in the template, the stop codes are gone.  It appears as though they won't save in AutoCorrect.  I've also tried saving them into my template in my expansion software, but they disappear in this, also.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!
ICD9 codes?????
I have a dictator who is giving the ICD9 codes after each diagnoses.  Are these usually included in the report???  I know that I have to follow the accout specifics for every account, but there is nothing about this in any of my specifics or standards.  I have never run into this before!  Any help would be appreciated!!!!   Thanks~
Jump codes - sm
Well, that didn't work either. Nothing happens when I do shift+F11 or just F11. Thanks anyway.
Creating Jump Codes
Can someone help me, please?  I'm trying to set up my own templates and need to create jump codes.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I did the Ctrl F9, but when I saved the template and reopened it, the blank symbol was gone.  If anyone has suggestions, I am willing to try them.  Thanks everyone.  Have a blessed day.
Can someone please tell me how to see document codes in Word?..nm

Need Word help again please :) (jump codes)

I posted yesterday about the jump codes. I put the brackets in by ctrl F9 and that worked great. The problem is that once I save it, I have to get the normal back to the screen when I want to use it by going to insert and then file and clicking on that normal. Once it loads the normal, all the brackets I inserted have turned to little square symbols and the F11 function is not working on them anymore.


Any ideas on what else I could do? I have to use the file and then insert though to retrieve the normal.


Thanks in advance!!


Hit alt F9 to show the codes. Did you tick the
formatted text radio button when you added to autocorrect?
For jump codes in MS Word,
I believe that when you are setting up your template you use F9 to create the jump to field, and then use F11 to jump to it when you are transcribing.
bayscribe jump codes -- yes

You set your jump code (mine is ^, can't remember the default) under Bayscribe word Expander settings, tab "Local Configuration" ... near the bottom of the list, "set quick find text" is where you enter your personal ^ and then under "find quick find text" you set your key-combo to take you to the next one ... (mine is shift-control-Y) ...


The big caution is to make sure that your "^" and key combo aren't already in use  (or something that might appear legitimately in a report)... and that work for you.  I had a problem with the defaults, but I can't remember what it was!  Good luck -- works great!


Press Alt + F9 to toggle on field codes.
Or go to tools, options, and check field codes on the view tab.
Alt F9 also shows and hides field codes.

Ctrl. F9 to create codes, F11 to move through them - nm

Thank you Sarah1114 for your info on stop codes!
I ran across that note from 1/22 today.  I've been trying to figure out how do do that for the whole five years I've had this computer, but didn't even know what phrase to look for (ie, "stop codes").  You've just made my like a lot easier!!!
I have a question about inserting field codes..sm
When creating templates to be stored on Bayscribe, is there a way to insert field codes?  Some call them jump codes or stop codes.   I'm trying to create templates for an ER account and desperately need these code!  Thanks!
How are codes separated? - comas, hypens, parentheses
nm
You can manually type the codes for caps lock on and off
Just type the symbols on the keyboard with the B and it will go in fine. Don't know why your keyboard is beeping, but hope it won't when you manually put the codes in. Hope this helps! :)

oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.

there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


Remember we are all "HUMAN."

What Company is This? I have been hired by a company that is sending a foot pedal.. Don't want t

Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..

Old company, let me go before two weeks was up.  New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited.  It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail."  I have no income and am at a loss. 


I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc.  I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company!  New company is not returning calls or answering email.


What should I do!?!?!?!


I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!


You don't want to work for this company. Call your current company and
tell them that you have decided against the new position and tell them that you would like to stay. It is cheaper for them to let you stay than to train someone new. A company who could be so tacky as the one you just spoke of is one you do not want to work for. You can rescind your resignation. If you are a good MT, they will be glad you did.
With my company, ICs use their own emails, employees have company email.

Local radiology company, not transcription company
who has only 5 transcriptionists and are not hiring at this moment. We all work at home and get great benefits, no insurance out of pocket and 22 days paid vacation in the first year, after that it goes up. I feel very fortunate to have found them, but again I chose them because they did not do production, so now that they are, I'm a little disappointed.
I think it varies greatly from company to company...sm
I was hired five months ago by a national straight out of school at 8 cpl. I think it just depends on your knowledge level and ability, and of course, what the company is willing to pay.
i think it varies from company to company and/or location

I have my own company email with my new company.
I can't answer your questions in your original post, I can tell you that with my new company, I have my own company email account, and I much prefer it. My old company had us use our personal email accounts, and they listed everyone who received emails in the cc line. They really never maintained those lists, and I received emails from them for a full five months after I quit - that despite my repeatedly asking to be removed from lists. Because the list had been passed from one person to the next in the company, I kept having to block sender after sender. Finally I replied to all, for each and every email I had gotten over a month's time. Well, that pretty much ended it.
I like to keep work and personal separate as much as possible.
