Wizard is quick
I don't know that you are doing this, but I remember holding my foot on the pedal in the Wizard waiting it for tell me to lift it off...and it doesn't.   Just put your foot on each pedal it asks you to identify just a couple seconds and lift up.  Also, I found thru trial and error that you must remove the plug from the USB port each time to reset.  Not saying you're doing either one of these wrong, but I certainly did. 
JL, I don't know. But unless you're a wizard SM
typist, it won't be nearly enough until you develop your Expander skills. To make anything like decent money today, you have to use one to greatly increase your typing speed. Good news is that there are systems out there that require almost no memorization. For instance, one that uses an old hand ShortHand system based on letters instead of shorthand symbols so you just learn its system and store it in your expander.

Welcome back, though. You're going to LOVE typing something like for cashd or cashdd and having CASHD and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease come out.
foot pedal wizard
All the wizard tells me to do is "press right pedal," then "release right pedal" and so on....only my "play" pedal works. The rewind will, but talks at the same time it rewinds...it's irritating. Any suggestions? Also, I've noticed that no matter what I do when the wizard tells me to press and then release those three pedals...that nothing changes. I also have Express Scribe.
Have you tried the Footpedal Setup Wizard?

I had a similar problem, went through the wizard and then it worked. It's worth a try.


Did you go to your settings and do the control set up wizard? nm

Use the "Save My Settings Wizard" - very easy.

computer wizard question-vista
I have a laptop with vista that I purchased a few months back. Some companies are telling me its not compatable with their programs yet. Do you think I should try it first instead of downgrading to XP?  Does it harm the computer if it does not work?  I know of some people being told it will not work and then in the end vista was working okay with a company's platform.  I know docuscribe works with it okay even though tech will tell you it doesn't.  TIA
Foot pedal wizard is in Express Scribe.
Have you tried to reboot your system since installing the new foot pedal? Sometimes the computers don't recognize new hardware until it reboots.
Whoops...I forgot - cranberry sauce, too. My husband would kill me if I forgot the cranberry sauce!

you also need to know the animals that you broker. I grew up on a farm so I broker mostly farm animals but have done dogs, cats, birds, etc.  You'd be surprised at the "pets" I've been asked to locate, some I had to get on the net and do a crash study.

For anxiety you can minimize the stress if possible or learn to better manage it. I have insurance so I am on medication and just started counseling this time around as I am dealing with a lot right now. Do research if you think that may be it and try to help yourself by teaching yourself stress relievers or taking time for yourself to help until you can get insurance or doctor opinion.

I forgot the most important thing.  Learn to recognize what is important, what can wait, and what cannot.  Dirty dishes, can wait.  Laundry, can way.  Cleaning house, can wait - unfortunately it will be there when you get done doing life.  Doing life - those are the things that you only get one shot at.  Got to the football game even if you have to stay up until 2 a.m. to get your work done.  Go to the partk on a pretty day even if your house is a disaster area.  Play in the rain with your children even if you want them to stay clean.  They will not remember how many times you washed their clothes or mopped the floor; they will remember looking and seeing your face as they slide down the slide; they will be able to tell other people how many times you have played outside with them.  When we do life, we pass a legacy on that nothing can break.  When we do house work, if just has to be done again. 


I hope this encourages you.  Remember, you will not always get it right, but as long as you learn to say "I'm sorry" and do not quit, you will always be a hero to your children.  I know.  My 2 kids are now in college and I can see the results. 


If you need someone to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, I am willing.


forgot to add....

this is used if you have ShortHand as your expander....use "yo" as your keyword and then type the above entry in the "text to type box"


Forgot a few - sm
Alt+S = Stops audio
Alt+W = Plays current word
Alt+shift+W = plays next word

Alt+F2 = Decreases audio playback speed 5% each time key combo is pressed.

Ctrl+F2 - Increased audio playback 5%.

You can probably get these appendices at Dictaphone Corp website. If not, let me know if you need more help. I have the Correction Editor Manual and a list of all of the Quick Keys.
Forgot that one! (sm)
I never watched it when it was on but I got hooked on the reruns. How many years was that show on? It seems like I hadn't seen enough when they were showing reruns of the reruns I had already seen. That is a good one.
Oh, more I forgot!
I loved Sisters. And remember Once and Again. I loved that!
Forgot one!!!...
Sooner or Later with Rex Smith and Denise Miller from 1978 or 1979.  Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers this movie.  All the big hair (guys and girls!), short, short jogging shorts with knee high socks (on the guys!) and the jeans so tight it is a wonder they could sit down!  Love that movie!
I forgot about that sm
I vaguely remember that movie. I loved Rex Smith. Had my hair cut like his. Soooo cute.
Oh no -- forgot one

The version I have does have dosages. I would not buy the book, just the CD. I hardly ever crack open a book anymore as it takes literally seconds to hunt for a drug or word in the CD versions. Save your money there :)I did a search on the internet and you guys are referring to the same program I am so I'm not sure why yours isn't working for you like mine is working for me, unless it's the version that is causing the problems?

The new girls in our office got their jobs because the school called and asked if they could extern for six weeks - they did not get paid. Then we hired them.

Oh, I forgot to say something else...
I did contact CityAudio by email and they sent a reply saying that they would be happy to call me in regards to their product.  Sounds good.  Thanks again MT!

When I play the speakers out loud, without the headset plugged in there are no problems at all.  The speakers play just perfect.  Thanks.

this is where you can work using ICs to your advantage.  Just as they are not obligated to do the work, you are not obligated to use them.  Usually, when they see less work coming, they either get it together or move on.  And the latter is for the best if they miss TATs repeatedly, which puts your client relationships in jeopardy.  Again...JMO and experience. 


BTW, my approaches may sound inflexible, but I must be doing something right; I have a waiting list of experienced MTs, including former colleagues, who want to work with me.  And all my clients but two are by client referral.

I forgot to say that we never run low on work.


It is not bad for everyone. I get a little tired of hearing the same tirade over and over. If you are so unhappy with where your field is headed, just move on.

forgot fed
Actually, I figured 43% went to everybody (FICA, state, and feds) based on my 9.83 cpl. Don't know about state, but with 25% coming out you would need (9)/(0.75) or 12 cpl; at 35% coming out you would need (9)/(0.65) or 13.8 cpl.

11 cpl would allow for 19% coming out.

Hopes this make sense.


Almost forgot
If the hospital uses templates built into Editscript, can you say big money real fast! Also there is a feature called samples where all reports at the hospital for a certain time period are stored. So if you have an operative report that is transcription instead of VR, you can search by the doctor's name and cut and paste say a previous lap chole or something and save your fingers!
forgot to say
As far as hourly pay, sorry, but I don't know anything but my own. However, a recent surgery in AHIMA Journal showed an average starting yearly wage of about 38,000 and up to almost 60,000 or more with experience. Keep in mind that is a national average and a lot depends on where you live.
also forgot
we also have a lot of benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, FSA, HSA with company match contributions of to $1000 per individual, long term care insurance, 401K matching, no fees, PTO plus additional sick, nice differentials and holiday bonuses. That's all I can think of, but it's a nice bunch of benefits.
almost forgot
my favorite part, i work the morning shift only on Fridays and the evening shift only on Sunday night.

A really good idea is to make a folder in your Favorites called Physician Names or some such and save each web site you come across in that folder. Or if you have accounts in different states, you could make a folder for each state and put the web site for physicians' names in there along with web sites for cities and states, hospitals, clinics, etc. so that you don't have to search anew every time you look for something.
Sorry, forgot something...
I forgot to tell you, the main way I have been able to increase my speed working in InScribe is to memorize all the keyboard shortcuts I can. I use my mouse only for things that have no keyboard shortcut. I also keep an ongoing list of words/phrases to add to AutoText, and I wait and enter 20-30 at a time, since that is one pain in the rear end aspect of InScribe. I hate the AutoText being so many steps just to add one thing.

to keep going to someone in charge of QA (or whoever is higher) to get a final answer for the conflicting corrections. Then stick with that answer no matter what (unless you hear otherwise from them later or someone even higher).

I have even had them change the rules now and then without letting me know(that's always nice!).

Sometimes I think it is actually a bit of a curse to be too conscientious.
Forgot to add ... sm
Don't expect bonuses or incentive pay on salary.

That's something I forgot to add...
we have a several month emergency fund for just household expenses (house payment and utilities, we have no other debt). Our regular savings would NEVER be touched for paying month to month expenses.
