I had one for 3 years and it worked fine the whole time.
Maybe 5 years, but had worked fine until the move....nm

I used Olympus DDS for a clinic and it worked fine.
Not sure what you question is, but the dictation and transcription using this system should be acceptable as any other. I wonder what would be the alternative and how it could be improved. Sounds to me like at 3-months behind, you should do a temporary outsource to get caught up before a needed report not on the records comes back and bites the manager.
I had a Comcast bundle and worked on Meditech just fine
I had to use a C-phone and call in, go thru a VPN, etc., but there was never an issue with my digital phone line.
Good luck.
Never mind .... I changed browsers & it worked.
I signed, and will send this to everyone I know. I hope every other MT on this board will do the same. Can't hurt, and MIGHT EVEN HELP.
I used Short Keys, not Short hand for Bayscribe, it worked fine.

Your mind was in the gutter up there with sauteed stool, too. Would you please take your mind out of
Every company is different -- I worked FT for one as an employee but worked a split shift - sm
So I never took breaks. I would work 5 hours, break for about 4 hours then do another 3. Another company I worked for did not care what hours you worked (IC) but wanted a min. amount of work each day, 500 for PT and 1000 for FT-- BUT they paid you by how many lines an hour you put out, the higher the lph the higher up the scale you made per line in pay; they have since changed everyone to a flat rate with incentive. But bottom line, if you are an IC it does not matter what hours you work, though many ask for a schedule and ask you to stick to it, they just want you to meet line requirements daily, i.e. 1000 per day, 1200 per day, whatever it is.
I got up early, worked during naps, and worked when DH got home.
You have to be disciplined to make yourself work when baby is napping instead of maybe watching TV or doing housework, etc.
I might also go the route of having a teen come into your home, or either trying a mother's morning out program at a local church/daycare. I've been home since my youngest was born and he has never been in all-day daycare, but I did have him in a mother's morning out program 15 hours a week at a local church. It didn't help a lot with my work schedule because I had an older son in school and was a room mom and tutored other kids, but that might be an option. The only problem with the mother's morning out program is they are around other kids and tend to pick up every germ. I finally took my DS out of the program because he stayed sick. You were supposed to keep them off if they had green nasal discharge and I did, but no one else did. Every time I got him well after 2 to 3 days back he would be sick again. Other than that it was very good for him because he would not have had a chance to be around kids his age otherwise.
I worked on that system when I worked there...
The thing that chapped my hide about that TWS was that they designed it so that all the headers of each section of the report were canned and thus you were not paid for them, even though you had to take your hand off the keyboard and mouse down a list of paragraph headers to chose the one you needed. Just racking up more profits for themselves. Ticks me off.
that is what is being worked out, and has been worked on for the last few years already...only
why are we just hearing this now? I know voice recog has been around, but this is entirely different. This will also make coding and billing obsolete.
Don't know why, but it just bothers me that one of our 'own' is the one pushing this...and she is also connected with AAMT. Do they support this, and if so, what is their advice I wonder to the MT?
Perhaps that is one question for their website (I do not subscribe to their mag or credentials...)
Thanks, for the input!
Looks fine to me.

That's fine, but...
statistically children do better and live in less poverty within a married committed relationship. It's no guarantee, but statistically chances are better if you create the proper nest beforehand. Kids deserve that stability, not a scary violent father who isn't committed to their mother. I'm not condemning you, just pointing out that there are better choices to be made. And I do know that my 17yo may up and do something stupid herself. Therefore by the grace of God go I.
I just tried, got in just fine. nm
Just fine, thanks
Always has been, always will be.
Which is fine, but they need to PAY someone for that. (nt)
I think it would be fine to say...
send monday to charity in lieu of gifts. I wouldn't give money to a couple who specifically requested it though. A wedding is a celebration of marriage, not getting money or gifts.
Thanks, I'm fine just...
my thumb itches this morning but that's it. The brown recluse is not the only spider to have violin shape. That's why we went to the ER. On my husbands preliminary look at him at home he saw the violin. But under a microscope, he saw that he did not have the eyes.
No I would not put up with it- now and then of course is fine - sm
I encourage my DH to go out and do things, though he gets upset when I do sort of similar things; mine involve driving 200 miles. I take the kids with me and I basically hang at friends houses for a day or two. He tends to get freaked when we are not home. Me, I'd be thrilled to have 2 days of freedom, but my DH is a freak to say the least. But if he were to go out a couple times (2) a month to a bar setting with friends I would not have an issue with it. But 3 x a week is a bit much, also expensive, and possibly dangerous if he is drinking and driving. If it bothered your friend you'd know, but since she has not brought it up she must be okay with it. Who knows maybe he is a real jerk at home and she is happy he is out 3 night a week, who knows. I would not worry about it, as you said it is not your business.
looks fine to me
"aggressively" treatment would be incorrect !
No. It's been fine for me.
Thanks! I'm fine...
Both legs were swollen. I just couldn't tell the left one was. It went up into my groin too. Apparently, I have pedal edema, a UTI and was a little dehydrated. So, no clot or anything. My legs were feeling tight and weird from the swelling I guess.
I guess better safe than sorry, huh?!
MQ is just fine now. sm
There is no need for panic. We are also getting paid downtime for the time the system was down. People aren't leaving Medquist because of this, at least I'm not. In my opinion, Medquist is still the best!
I have before and it was fine (nm)

It's fine!
There is no problem transcribing lectures that they have recorded or in typing or transcribing reports. As long as you are not actually providing the intellectual content, it's fine. In the days before computers, typing papers was an excellent way to earn money.
A lot of schools have writing clinics that help students with reports and assignments. They advise on writing style, grammar, etc. If they can do it, so can you. :)
You will be fine
There is really no "certification" that people look for in our industry. There is a CMT or RMT certification that you can pay lots of money to a group called AHDI (Association of Healthcare Documention, Inc - who USED to be calle the AMERICAN Association of Medical Transcription (AAMT). This group was originally formed to further the cause of MTs in America, but it has deteriorated to something unrecognizable and corrupt. Notice that they took any mention of the word "American" out of their name and also "MT" All they want is your money and will do nothing for you. You DO NOT need either an RMT nor a CMT to work in this business.
You have experience under your belt now, which is the main thing companies look for, not the credentials. I don't think you will have trouble finding another position. If you can't get hired on with any of the MTSOs right now, try getting your own accounts. I did this for years and it was very lucrative. Not much rest, but I had lots of work. That will give you more experience under your belt.
You are not foolish, my dear, you just fell for an old "scam" and I know exactly who you mean. They are the ones who should be ashamed - not you.
Good luck to you. :-)
you'll do fine
but yes, with anything there is the learning curve where your paycheck generally suffers a little. I love it tho. Hope i never have to learn another system. The expander part is quick and easy. I would not recommend trying to learn their preset shortcuts, just make your own. i developed my own quicker than remembering theirs; it is quick and easy to look them up if you foget 'em too.
aside from my above post, MQ Mon is fine!
no one bothers me, I always have work, albeit I am on DQS, as mentioned before, but other than that, I don't have any problems w/the office. Been with them for over four years! Good Luck! 
It sounds fine to me.
The only thing I would do is get rid of the "she" in the "and she is out" part of it.
I use wireless and it is fine. (sm)
I don't think it is quite as fast as DSL, but it is definitely adequate.
As the poster below said, you have to be clear of trees to get a signal.
got the no-line...they were fine
then got the Acuvue bifocal contacts and I LOVE wearing them!
That would be all fine and dandy...
however, these days companies want that kind of expertise all for the honor of earning about 6 cents a line. That's the problem with this job... Whether you are fresh out of school or your butt looks like the seat of your computer share from sitting in it for the last 20 years, you get paid the same. Not always, but increasingly so.
Another fine cherrypicking day.
Man, would I love to go on all day about this company and the cherrypickers here. This is totally 100% unbelievable that they let people do this every single day. 
fine line...
because he is your brother-in-law. then again, business is business. i probably wont go lower than 10 cpl. hope thats not being greedy either :)
"orthopedics" is just fine. nm

Your ad looks fine. Best of luck to you! nm
Lil
You'll be fine.....sm
It is a bit cooler today than it has been lately. We were at 80 yesterday. Today, 74. I think it will be fine to lay out, but I don't know about going into the water. lol :)
I think you are handling it fine - see msg
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can relate to your grieving and missing someone who has died. I lost my best friend that I had since sixth grade last January and my father-in-law last March and I still miss both of them terribly. I was still grieving over my friend when my father-in-law died, which made it almost worse in a way. There is no set grieving schedule, per se. I still cry over my lost loved ones. I still want to call my friend and I have to stop myself. It sounds like you are functioning normally in your daily life, with only intermittent times of grief, which I think is totally normal. If your grieving was getting in the way of your normal daily activities, then I would worry, but that does not seem to be the case. The pain never goes away, but it lessens somewhat with time. It's been a year for me and I still cry when something reminds me of them, but the crying jags are getting further apart, so there has been some healing. I don't know if you are a religious person, but prayer helped me through my toughest times. I know that I felt better afterwards and I knew that they were fine where they were and that they were happy. Keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about the time factor. We all grieve in our own way and on our own time schedule.
If you have excellent QA to help - you will be fine.
Meaning - transcribe the reports, leave blanks of anything you are unsure of, and with great QA feedback, you will learn in no time.
You can do it - don't be afraid.
On the other hand, if you do not have a great QA department to help you with your blanks and accuracy of your reports, I would say stay with the what you know for now.
You can learn it. Maybe you can just do a 5 or 10 reports a day along with your clinic work to start with or without great QA help.
Good luck to you!
On the job training is fine
You can achieve the goal of MT with on the job training. I started out at a state hospital in NY and was trained working in the clinic as the transcriptionist. On my own, I went to night college but the training I received on the job was excellent The last hospital I worked at in-house, we had a training program and once a year we would hire a newbie and I would train the person and edit their work. If you live in California, I would check out Chronicle Transcripts as they hire newbies and train them. Pay-wise, you can make quite a bit of money and also practically nothing. Depends what company/hospital you work for and what part of the country. Good luck.
I have Vonage and fax just fine
Not sure about e-fax though, as I don't use that. I just do regular faxes with the fax machine hooked up to my Vonage VoIP box and they always go just fine.
that's fine - I don't care about the $$....sm
whether it be 9/7.2 or 11/9.....doesn't matter, but you did the 20% math for the posters who didn't believe - so thanks again!!!! 
google is fine for me too..nm
nm
That is a fine rate, but I would
ask how you are connecting to Meditech. Meditech is a huge database, and unless you have experience with it already, then you wouldn't know that it is a very slow, dragging system. It is not Transcriptionist friendly. There is no medical spellcheck. Apparently there are two versions of Meditech in which one is word-based, but the experience I've had with Meditech has been horrible. You won't get much done because you will spend too much time waiting for your typing to catch up. JMO. I would steer away from Meditech.
Nah. We're fine here, thanks. nm
b
Email will be fine.
You don't need an FTP site if he sends them to you by email, but you will need an encryption program to encrypt the voice files before mailing, and the document files you mail back. Express Scribe should be able to play the voice files, especially if the doctor uses the PDA dictate program they offer.
That is fine if you want to do, but this post
is about the fact that people are disturbing as the MTs are trying to work. I could care less about what you or others do but don’t complain if you cannot stand up for yourself and say you are working when others try to stop your work. I only work part now, by choice, but when I work, I do not have to answer a door or a phone and I am not asked to watch other neighbor children, have company while I work, fix dinner, do the ironing, etc. etc. What you choose, fine- I choose to give my time to work when my hours are due. Just be glad you can work at home because if you had to work in a regular office, no reading those short stories or feeding a child. This is why the group as a whole is looked upon as nonworkers- most of page talking about how others perceive us and you said it in a nutshell with the extras you do during your work time- your choice but do not get upset when people think of MTs as goofing off and not really a true job.
Mine is fine....
But about a week ago it was totally messed up. Maybe yours is having a delayed reaction. 
My eye doc said magnifiers were just fine until they
s
shorthand is fine sm
too much is overkill. You can easily forget what you have in there. In my opinion, ShortHand is like PRD, can convert the files, and you can make killer lines with it ET is just too complicated. You need to simplify, and tune it to you own docs.
VR works just fine
I think that VR works great. I use Escription. They seem to understand that VR alone is not the only way to improve productivity. They encourage people to use keyboard shortcuts. I find that those shortcuts help a lot.
Editing is here to stay.
