Does your program change lower case to upper? If so, type all in lower and
it will change the ones it is supposed to.
Where does one purchase a KVM switch and is that what it's actually called?

I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

And why would you want to switch change careers?!..
I am an MT and not a newbie, about 15 years of experience and I don't make $44,000 a year (oh, how I wish)! Why would you want to break into this business? This career is just going down hill in so many ways. I hear medical coding is on the rise and some seem to be transitioning from MT to just that. I also understand medical coding and billing can be done from home as well. I would be checking into that if I were you. If you are expecting to make $44,000 a year as a new MT, you are SO dreaming! Sorry so harsh, but would hate to see you make a huge financial mistake, IMHO!

See, see what I mean? Me too! Amazing! Funny how we switch to this new program
and do the SAME reports and yet make substantially less money.

Let's all MQ employees just quit already and see what they do. Do you really want to know how much MQ is making now on this "new" platform? They are paying us way less, no more phone bills for them, etc. Amazing.

Anyone hiring not on DQS??

I type brain surgery. Maybe I should switch to rad? LOL

I use a program called TraxTime....
I believe there is a free download online. This has been extremely valuable for me in keeping QA time.
Many states have the same program, called

I use a program called The Abacus.

There is a free program called Belarc you
can download.  It will tell you processor speed, RAM, hard drive, sound card - every little thing about your computer.  I used it with Win98 and WinXP.  Google Belarc for website. 
Can use a free program called Audacity.
I have only heard about this and have not found the need to do it myself yet, but heard it works great.

Here is a website someone passed to me:

If you Google "tapes to digital," there are a lot of sites that give directions.

Good luck.
Open your template dot file and change the zoom... sm
percentage to whatever you want. Then you have to do something in the document area -- such as pressing the spacebar and backspace -- so Word thinks you actually made a change to the template and answer yes to the message when you close it out. Every new document will open with your new zoom level.
Might be another program or file conflicing
I would contact your tech or if you can afford it, Hiwired.com  American techs but $90 per session.
Program "Switch" can change wav or dss files

you need to change your properties of those file types to open with ES and not media player. sm
go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.
Can't you just reinstall the Spellex? If the program .exe file is on your computer you should be
able to reinstall, unless upgrading totally re-formatted your hard drive, which I presume is the case here (this is where backing up things comes in handy).  Maybe you can contact your school and ask for a new copy?  As for cheap and good, I doubt the two go hand in hand.  I use Stedman's Spellchecker and love it.  Maybe you can look on ebay and get a copy that way for not too much $.  Good luck.

The file type
I ran a virus scan, and there is no virus detected.  The file type is application/octet-stream.  I contacted the service to see if they can tell me what I am doing wrong.  I probably have to download a winzip program or something.
Open the normal.dot file and change your zoom. Hit the space and backspace and close it.

Just open glo file in Word, highlight all, then change case and save back
to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.
The program is being determined by the file extension you're receiving. sm

If you're receiving a voice file that's opening automatically in MediaPlayer (which is what I think you're trying to say), then you will need to change the program that is automatically associated with that file type so that it will open the program you want to use.


The easiest way to do this is to open Explorer, locate the voice file, right mouse click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the first "block" where is says Opens With, click the Change button and then choose the program you want to use from the list that appears. This will change the program that opens ALL files with that extension.


To change


Exactly why type of file are you working with? sm

You say you're trying to download a "wav file"; is that the correct file type? I don't work with PC-Dart so I'm not familiar with the file extension that program generates. Check the file extension (.wav, .mp3, .vox) and make sure that it is a file type that can be downloaded automatically by Express Scribe. Click on Settings and then Automatic Incoming. Select the incoming method that you are using for these files, then click on the Properties button. on the left-hand side of the screen, there are only four types of files that will be automatically (or manually) downloaded directly into ES. They are .dct, .wav, .mp3, and .aif. If the PC-Dart files are not one of these four file types, you will have to download those files to a folder on your computer and then load them into ES from that folder.


You want also want to make sure that you can play the PC-Dart file types. To do this, open Express Scribe, click on Settings, then File Types. There are several file types listed; make sure that the file type you want to play is checked.


Trouble with work type change

I need some help with my Transtech Extext program.  Having trouble getting a new work type selected and sound.   


What type of file does your software play?
Maybe you can try a CD (mp3) format or rip a CD into a format that your software does play.

Try this link for a sample voice file or Google the phrase sample voice file

Has anyone ever tried any type of total body cleansing program? `sm`
I keep thinking I want to detoxify myself to get rid of all the sugar and junk in my body and start anew.  I admit I am gullible and think everything advertised is going to work or is worth it.  I found a website that discusses having a fatty liver and that it can be partially to blame if you are overweight.  So.. does anyone have any experience with any body cleansing program - are they worth it or just a bunch of hype? 
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
The so-called "reality show" is the lowest form of so-called entertainment in recent years
I hate them. They've ruined TV.
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you


Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

Change provider vs change to business plan

In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first.  It may not be any better.  If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential.  They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.


Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me.  We just had to wait it out.  It's a downside of working at home.

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.

change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".

They can't provide anything in writing.


Nobody knows anything - keep telling you to call your supervisor.


I smell something worse than New Orleans coming from NJ.


You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.
