She still has to meet TAT and recording

In Reply to: Good point but assume if she is leaving town - sm

not a good idea.  What if that report is recorded off and the hospital/office needs access to it right away?  If she is off somewhere with it on a tape, that could be a huge problem.


IC doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to do!  And if recording makes the sound quality such that you cannot produce an accurate report, then I would think that would be unacceptable.

re-recording
I am trying to figure out how to record to my computer.  I can record the dictation from the phone but don't have a clue as to how to transfer it.  I just bought a Sony voice recorder, digital and PC link gadget.  I have a WAV pedal installed and tried to transfer to a file but really don't know what I am doing!  Can anyone help with this???
re-recording
I am recording to a hand-held Sony digital recorder that can be connected to my computer and somehow downloads the dictation.  You have to choose a file type and because I have a Start Stop pedal I chose a .WAV file.  Nothing happened and I really don't know what I am doing.    Instead of spending the $50 I should have bought a used transcriber/recorder!
Re-recording from C-phone

Hi!



Can anyone tell me how to go about re-recording from a C-phone onto a microcassette player?  Is this possible?


TIA!


help with recording off line please...sm

Okay dating myself, but many eons ago when I worked for YOG we recorded the work off line onto a hand-held microrecorder and then used a regular old transcriber to do the work.  I know I had a grey and a black cord and the only other thing I can find is my index card telling me that I dial in on my Dictaphone...black cord is in the ear phone and grey cord is in the microphone...that is it.



I now need to record work off line for a few weeks and can not find my cords (was 8 years ago) or how I did this.



Does anyone else record off line onto a tape to do at a later time or some place else?  I really am at a loss and the one guy at Radio Shack was not much help either...



ANY HELP REALLY APPRECIATED

Re-recording dictation....

HI,


What does it entail to re-record dictation.  I noticed an ad placed that required this.  What do you need and what is the easiest way to go about it.  Thanks.


Re-recording via C-phone
C.J. We were doing rerecording with C-phones all the time, years ago. I'm sure it can still be done with ease. It takes time to do it, but there are much easier ways to get the info off of a Dictaphone system these days if the client is amenable.

Funny - this is the major topic of most of my discussions when I first came on line with MT Daily, then MT Stars on the tech boards. Time goes by and the questions remain the same. Is Kent Lenox anywhere around on the boards?


Digital Recording
I need some help on setting up digital recording - I currently use the mini-cass and my clients are wanting to switch to digital recorder.  Right now they mail me the dictation tapes, I type them, and email back the work.  Can some one tell me what equipment I would need and how I would get the voice recorder file to my computer?  I have read a couple of places on the internet and I am more confused now than previously. 
Electronic sound recording (nt)

When recording a macro in MS Word
what do you do in order to be able to jump from heading to heading; i.e., how do I get from HISTORY: to FINDINGS: ? Thanks for your help.
Docs with laptops instead of recording sm
It's happening, docs typing in only what they feel necessary as they see you and your PMH only as necessary, you may have been through a lot in the past but don't think they care, they only want what they can efficiently store & do themselves. That's a fact! It's sad!
I have a good friend who is a recording artist. I could have SM
any of his music free, and I always get to hear it before it is even on the CD. I could bum music from him or his family any time, but I won't. It is how he makes his living.

I think it is stealing.
Recording files from C-phone to tape???

Hi, has anyone ever recorded files from a C-phone onto cassette tapes?  I have an account that is accessed via C-phone.  I am going to be going out of town for a couple days and wanted to record some work to take with me.  Can this be done?  I have a Lanier micro-cassette player and a Dictaphone C-phone.  Is there an attachment of some sort that could accomplish this?  Thanks for any help you can offer.

Electronic sound recording replaces court reporters these days. (nt)

Certainly you should have to meet your
But as the MTSO it is not your business to know what I am doing with my time unless I am not meeting the deadline.  I have a deadline to meet with all of my clients, but I certainly do not report to my clients my daily goings on in my life as it is none of their business.  As an independent contractor, the MTSO cannot set my hours.  Punching a time clock is for employees not independent contractors. 
How many here would like to meet?

Let's start with a few southern places and see how many would actually meet in spring next year:


1)  Memphis, Tennessee


2)  St. Louis, Missouri


3)  Kansas City, Missouri


4)  Atlanta, Georgia


5)  Dallas, Texas


Anyone interested in getting a group in for 2-3 days in any of those places next spring?


 


It might help if several of you set up a day and time and meet there.

Meet me here Saturday night.
I would love to chat.  I'll be working Saturday evening if you want to check back then.
I too have struggled to meet quota since (sm)
starting DQS, but nothing has been said to me about it.  But if they do ask why, you better believe me, I will give them more than an ear full! I hate working and feeling like if I don't meet production, I'm gonna lose my job or something.  This job is already stressful enough between the bad dictators and feeling like I'm getting my lines ripped off since DQS, I mean come on, they need to give us a break!
Howdy, nice to meet another PJ.
I love psych, but the work is hard to find as many facilities keep that one for in-house only due to all the extra precautions that need to be taken regarding psych info. If you land an account, you guard it with your life!
So Nice To Have A Place To Meet Again!
I wish the MT help desk would come to this board to answer questions, etc.  I hate talking on the phone, being put on hold, being transferred from one person to another, getting called back when I'm changing a dirty diaper,  etc.
For you married folks, how did you meet? sm

Through friends/family?  At school?  Met each other at the grocery store when you reached for the same loaf of bread at the same time?    Through an internet dating site?

Hi all,


There is a group of us planning to meet in the chat room at 7:00 EST tonight.  All are welcome.

Have 3 years to meet all the CE requirements.

LOL Yeah, my Mom used to tell me that if I wanted to meet guys,
I had to go where the guys were. If you wanted to meet a jock or a guy who watches sports, go to a football game or something. Home Depot = handy guys. Library = smart guys. Grocery store produce department = desperate guys, especially when they ask you how you can tell the cantaloupe are ripe! I met my guy at a car show = motorhead guy. Sporting goods department = fishing/hunting widow.

Pot, meet kettle. Your posts are all over the board. sm
...just because they are responding, and probably not even as vocal as you've been on here. That just reduces any point you were trying to make to shreds, sounding juvenile and defensive instead of engaging in reasonable debate -- but worst of all, acting like you are superior and somehow smarter than all the rest of us when most of us have known all about this big "news flash" of yours for years now. You say you wouldn't hate others for what they believe in, but when someone spoke up saying they like ASR, you insulted her by saying she must not have been a fast typist then. ASR isn't going away, no matter how many people quit MQ citing that as a reason. Many times, it's not even the MTSOs who sell doctors on ASR - there are companies out there courting the doctors, pumping them up with sales talk about how great it is and how much time/money they'll save. THOSE are the ones the rest of us are aiming at, and wisely so. Think about it, do you think the MTSOs like it when clients go to ASR and lower the rate they are paying the MTSO?? If the MTSO also sells the equipment, maybe. Otherwise, doubtful. It's new technology and MTs must adapt for now, as chances are good it will flame and then fizzle out. MANY, many doctors have already tried it years back, hated it, and returned to traditional dictation. As you've been told, this is NOT a new development so it's not that people don't care; they just aren't as urgently impressed by the rants since it's old news. It lurked on the horizon for a long time before it ever actually hit the shelves and a lot of us researched it prior to it actually being utilized.

Yes, there are plenty of issues that are pulling MTs everywhere down. Offshoring is one of them. Has been for years. ASR/VR is one of them. Has been for YEARS. Maybe this is news to you, but again, most of us have known about these things and been proactive about/against them for YEARS by not accepting lower rates and not offshoring or working for companies that do.

I will reiterate, though, that one of the biggest issues dragging MTs through the mud is something that is perfectly fixable - the BEHAVIOR of some MTs. Unprofessional, juvenile behavior is not considered a desirable quality in any employee. Lack of work ethic and false sense of entitlement are two more traits that are not desirable in an employee. Someone who has only been in the business for a few years but thinks they know more than MTs who worked on manual typewriters is yet another undesirable. MTSOs read this board all the time and take note of these things, and when certain names come up on resumes, they go immediately to the circular file, if you know the flavor of THAT Kool-Aid.
That is making ends meet, not meat by the way.

Ever call people you meet online?

 


I feel a little weird calling someone that I met online.  Yet several people have left me their phone numbers to call them just to chat or some ask me to IM (instant message) them.  Are they too trusting?  Am I too mistrusting?  It just feels weird to me.  I am on my own.   No kids or anything.  Soon to be 45 years old.  So I guess maybe that comes across in my e-mails that I am lonely and they are just trying to be nice.  However, I would prefer just to leave a message on the message boards like this one or send an e-mail.  I guess I want to know if others are exchanging phone numbers over the internet and IMing people they meet over the internet?  The people I meet are usually people suffering from autoimmune disorders or people in chronic pain.  They are usually responding to a message I left.  I can't do anything about this condition so I try to focus on others and offer whatever words of encouragement I can over the internet to those suffering.

When they did that, it just made me care a whole lot less, so I try to get my 945 as a part-time person in my 4 hours. I know some of the reports I get are just horrible, but I can deal with them.

yes, and how does one meet their required quota with no work for hours on end?
One can only "make up" so much downtime!!
Do any companies give raises - if so, what criteria do you have to meet?
