I bought it. Is there anything to make this better at all. I just bought this whole computer system with LCD screen and I guess I will call them and see what can be done or just get used to it. I like it but not so much having the text look like that. Have you spoken to anyone about yours.

1 or 2 spaces @ end of sentences? I have Instant Text put in 2, but I have noticed
that after I upload them to the co. I work for, the extra space is being removed.  Do you think that that one little space at the end of each sentence would amount to a hill of beans over the course of a week?  Just curious what you think.  And before you ask, no this was not disclosed to me before I started working here, however, I made the grave error before being hired of only asking how many characters per line and if spaces were included. 
Light blue background, with bold blue text.

I'm not mud-slinging. I'm simply telling you why I don't support AHDI and that there are other ways to do everything you do through AHDI, including education, and also keep a clear conscience. I can't control how you interpret something, & I can't do anything about someone who thinks doing a little bit of something is the same as not doing it at all. Everyone has her own line in the sand.

Thanks! Have a good day!
no where did I say it wasnt work?
I only said you are not typing the lines that you should be paid BY THE HOUR and not by the line. That way, the more corrections you make the less you feel like "I'm not making any money today." Thus quality is going to be much better because the MT is not going to worry about going as fast as they can to make money and will take time out to make the corrections needed.

There should be a requirement of lines, but not PAID per line.
Sorry. I wasnt arguing with you. Im just generally
it just gets me p1ssed off, and then i start ranting!
wait..wasnt thread to send ESL's
Now you dont want work sent overseas??  I thought the thread was to send all the ESL's overseas??  I frankly dont want any work sent anywhere but for all of it to stay in America and I will do the difficult and good doctors, cause they pay my salary.

I agree. I would be long gone if I wasnt the age I am and am actually phasing out anyway.

That wasnt very helpful..she is confused by verb, noun, and adj. as far as how to tell
which is which. I think the "a" in front is more helpful.
Wasnt you worried that some weirdo might come back in while you werent there to monitor it? sm
It just worries me that after we get everything set up will some weirdo go in and look around, get info off of your accounts, or go look at icky stuff on the web using your computer? My husband says his tech guys at his work said there is no reason why a tech person cant "fix" your problem by walking you through it. They say there is never ever a reason to authorize someone you dont know access to your computer. I am so confused! Really want this job, but dont want to risk my computer being an open door either.
Wasnt that a rip. They must have called every person on every account to work. I cant possibly
figure that mentality. PLUS we get nothing extra for weekends, nothing extra for  holidays ZIP. They overload the accounts and so we have no work. Why would they pay weekends or holidays when they play this game. Somebody is pocketing something but it AINT THE MTs. I hope every MT in that office inundates Mt. Laurel with complaints until they replaced the people that did this and not to mention their STUPID STUPID PICKY MQ point plan. That is a horrendous joke. Somebody up there needs to be removed and quickly.
Fill us in, we are in the dark...sm

dark shadows
I used to watch it with my mom all the time too - too funny ! I can still see that guy's face with his fangs !
EST here...NC...dark and it just got done storming, which
this time of year is normal around here. Seems we have a pretty big thunder boomer every day...sometimes two or three times a day. Lightning so bright the street lights go out...
Docs are kept in the dark
When I told my Doc I was leaving the hospital he asked why and I told him. I also informed him of what was really happening with the transcription department and he had no idea at all. All of the Docs are up in arms about the work, but were not told that for awhile it was going offshore, and that we had a lousy supervisor who could care less, but sure covered her rear to her supervisor to make sure she looked good and left us to hang ourselves. She would not support us, but just screamed at us over nothing. My Doc was set straight, and I told him they need to be aware of what was going on and offer help.
Shot in the dark
here, and I know if you knew the answer to this you would have already done it. I sense your frustration, I understand what you are saying. Can you go in to the program files and totally delete the file that stores the tmp files? Maybe if it didn't have anywhere to put them it couldn't store them? Sorry, I'm no programer, but that was the first thing that came to mind.
is it bad to type in the dark??

I like the light on but hubby always walks into the room at night and turns the light off (you can tell who pays the electric bill).  I just wondered, is it better on your eyes to type with the light on or off?


I'm in the dark right now! I feel like my
typing speed is just a little faster when it's like this. The whole house is dark, everyone is in bed asleep (except the 2 cats). Now on Saturday mornings when I pull a very early morning shift, it's lights on and wake me up!!! LOL
Wasnt' that post scary? Isn't it UNREAL?? Who cares if we type drugs wrong, right?
I could go on and on about the STUPID mistakes MTs make - perfect dictators - just stupid lazy mistakes - wrong drugs and meds entirely - happens all the time. Forget dosages.  If doctors had to rely on this typed garbaged (used typed intentionally - transcribed doesn't fit), they'd kill most of us as patients.  And some MTs have an attitude about it? So frightening. But lets' give 'em bonuses and incentives to GET IT RIGHT!
My post disappeared. I wasnt being disrespectful with the TV just tired and didnt proof before subm
Sorry if I offended anyone when I saw it I had a good laugh with everyone else but still thought there was good advice in the post but I guess not -- my apologies if I offended and will watch my ShortHand lol.
I had a G. Shepherd who was afraid of the dark....
the minute the lights went out, she would bark continuously until the lights went back on. I put a night light in a socket where she slept and that ended the problem.
Love it! It gets dark in Maine in Dec. by 4 p.m.

I hate standard time though.  They can leave it as it is now and eliminate going back to standard time in the fall as far as I'm concerned.  The clocks always go back right before Halloween too so the little ghosts and goblins have to trick or treat in the dark.


It does mess things up a bit changing over though.  Last night my kids were all hungry and I said, "Oh for goodness sakes it's only . . . .. ALMOST SEVEN??"


Oops. . . . "hello, Dominos?"  :)

Talk about the dark ages
I worked as inhouse Transcriptionist from 1973 to 2002 and never, ever had to perform the duties you speak of. I did transcription and that was it. And talking about it being so stressless at home, there are posts here time and time again about people being bothered by the phone, door, neighbors and the children and being unable to work so can work both ways except I never did the first.
I think we were all kidding! Sarcasm - dark humor...

I agree with the suggestion of dark chocolate.
Also, I keep a bag of Hershey's kisses hidden. Whenever I need a boost, I just let one melt in my mouth. I can't eat an entire candy bar or bag of M&Ms. Too much sugar!
Hershey's Special Dark syrup on top of

What would you do if you are aware of a

already brought it to the Docs attention, but he doesn't care as long as he is making money (and he makes it hand over fist).  Without going into detail....should I report him?


Are any also aware that--sm
In doing my taxes this year with an electronic program, and a feature to find more deductions, I clicked on a few of these added deductions and I was extremely surprised to find one that actually gives a deduction for people with their own home businesses if they use India personnel to do business with. Now how many people would take advantage of a deduction on their taxes if they outsourced to India? Quite a few, I would say, if all they thought about was the bottom line! In my view, it is pretty sad when our own government is undermining its own American jobs and population to third world countries! JMO
Perhaps you are not aware sm

of how much grammar rules have changed over the years, particularly when it comes to punctuation. As I said, I learned this long ago. And you are right in saying that the method I was taught is British, although I grew up in a small town in the U.S.  Here is a quote from a British grammar site:


There are peculiar typographical reasons why the period and comma go inside the quotation mark in the United States. The following explanation comes from the "Frequently Asked Questions" file of alt.english.usage: "In the days when printing used raised bits of metal, "." and "," were the most delicate, and were in danger of damage (the face of the piece of type might break off from the body, or be bent or dented from above) if they had a '"' on one side and a blank space on the other. Hence the convention arose of always using '."' and ',"' rather than '".' and '",', regardless of logic." This seems to be an argument to return to something more logical, but there is little impetus to do so within the United States. 


 


Ad-Aware
Also my neighbor who is a computer whiz and qeek put Ad-Aware on my computer and I run it once a week.
I am aware of that. I even have
2 acute care accounts that do not follow JHACO recommendations. All of our accounts specs are essentially to BOS standards with exceptions for the facility or specific dictators requested noted.

I was simply curious what other companies that use the BOS as were doing and that is why I asked specifically about companies that use the BOS as a guide.
No not that I am aware of...sm
They are a small company. I don't think they have enough work to outsource.
Yes, I am aware...
that they are 2 different features.  I generally use AutoCorrect, sometimes AutoText.  My files are saved in a different location than normal for Word 2003.  I had an issue with this a long time ago when I was trying to move them to a different program, but I was able to find them eventually.  As I said above, adding entries directly into my main Word program saved them into EXText, maybe that will help OP as well.
I'm aware of that but - sm
wasn't aware that it wouldn't show up on the pay stub.  It was for this reason I wanted to verify that I was covered ... you never know with these companies, especially if you live in 1 state and the MTSO is located in another and the payroll office is in a third state. 
why Bud Light?
are you kidding?
Ott light.

i know, i'm aware of these things, but don't you think too
that the aggressiveness, persistence of the family of the victim makes a HUGE difference as to the continued media play?
