The type where you literally (sm)

Posted By: Me on 2007-11-10
In Reply to: My worst are both slow-speaking, hoarse-voiced Southern gentlemen. - Deb - nm

can't tell if they are saying black or white?? How do they do that? Working in an office, we could have 4 different MTs listen, and 2 would think the dictator said the patient was black and 2 would think he said white. Grrrrr.

You literally have nothing better to do????
How can you call yourself a professional and say those things then if you are not jealous?  You are really showing some style here, let me tell ya'?  You sound so classy!  NOT!
MQ Rules, literally! Go MQ!

NO! NO! That is so weird. I literally just got off the
phone calling Frontline with the SAME THING and asking details on cat treatment then after I went out and bought some. I got a really nice girl! NO - dog flea products are often fatal to cats.  I have 2 adorable rescue kittens who are loaded with fleas. We have been waiting til they were old enough for Frontline, and I'm short of cash too, so was thinking of fudging with the dogs' Frontline that I have extra of!! Good luck! Meow!
I knew because I could literally hear it
I could hear the explosion(s) from where I lived, plus the hubby called me because he was on the bridge and he could see one of the Towers burst into flames. But I totally understand feeling kept in the dark. I don't remember anyone from my account calling me or discussing it with me. The first attack (when a truck exploded in the garage, I think, of the World Trade Center years before), I didn't find out about til I turned on the TV that night. I totally understand the isolation factor.
I had literally thousands of viruses using that.
It broke a record for what my computer guys had seen. I use TrendMicro now.
4000+ lines a day is literally not possible.
The MT companies are ripping MTs off with VR. It takes nearly as long, and in some cases longer, to edit and correct VR reports as it does to straight type them, and to pay half (or some horrible companies pay only a third!) of the line rate is completely unfair and unethical.
She may be an MTSO, but I knew an MT who literally typed 18 hrs a day.

"It's all about me" - nature of the beast - literally

when I post a job, I get literally hundreds of responses
- that's without offshore-- and people with good skills and experience are willing to work anywhere from 18 cpl to 12 cpl to 6 cpl. So I would say yes, the field is becoming increasingly more competitive
You are taking it literally, which is not what I meant. I would rather not pay the highest price
out there, as I'm on a budget.
I have actually loaded it from the testing the company sent and have literally gone in and deleted i
the pedal just works terribly.  I will wait until the tech guy calls me today and see if he can figure it out.  If not, well then I am not sure what I can do. 
Yeah! After 11 years of it, I'm so sick of it I could literally scream, and that's no joke!
And these docs who dictate faster than the speed of sound, like they could give a rat's butt because they're in too big of a hurry to get out on the golf course, I like to strangle with my own bare hands.  I'd like to tell them all what I really think about them.  Truly, I have zip respect for 99.9% of the doctors out there today, who seem completely incompetent.  How they manage to get out of med school I'll never know!  
oops....cant spell today, supposed to be literally, not litterally. I added a T too many. hehe. nm

UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am speechless. I literally have no words! A $5000 trip to China to teach

them how to steal our jobs?



 


 


don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.

Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
You should type them. I usually type them in parentheses following the diagnosis.

remind me, type what they say, type what they say, type....
"He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better."  C'mon doc, which one is it?????
Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm

immediately following the slash and have it expand.  For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark?  TIA


Right above where you type (SM)

There is a "T" with a colored block.  You can highlight the text you want to color, click on that block, and then click on the color you want to make it. :)


I hope your kitty will be around for more years to come.  I know 19 is very old for a kitty.  :(  It's hard to think about losing one of our "babies."


Take care,


Chickadee


TV on while you type?
Do you keep the television on while you type?  I think I would get alot more done if I would stop watching TV and stop surfing the web!
If you don't know what type you have,

you probably don't have an FTP server.  You would have to know that to set it up and configure it. 


FTP stands for file transfer protocol, which just means that it's a way to upload and download files from a server using the Internet.  If you'd like free FTP software for a potential job, you can download CoreFTP for free from Download.com at the following link.

how would you type this?

How would you type "section 8 housing"?  Would it be Section 8 housing, Section -8 housing, Section-8 Housing or Section 8 Housing?


TIA


Tabatha in Charleston, SC


you type what?
Ummmmmmm, okay! LOL!
you never type don't or can't but only do not and cannot etc...lol

If all you have to do is type....
and they do all the rest (if you are subcontracting through a service), after the 25% take, they are paying you 9.75 cents per line and that is better than most national companies. Plus, hopefully, you do not have to learn 100 or more dictators! If this is the case, go for it!
USA TYPE
Does anyone have any info on USA TYPE?  Thanks
USA TYPE
Has anyone heard back from USA type after they have tested for them?  thanks
usa type
I think she must have gotten a big response to the job post and hopefully is just sorting things out.
usa type
How long after you took the test were you called?
usa type
that's interesting . . . sheri told me herself last January that she was selling her medtrans business and wouldn't be hiring any more. . . . .
type it
it doesnt matter if it is someone you know. you still have a job to do while adhering to patient confidentiality.
we have to type it out now? aw man
nm
Just my type ....
Believe me, he'd approach me in a bar .... Just like the late 60's fella with the hot pink sport jacket, rug on his head, and POLYESTER black slacks .... and this was not THAT long ago!! LOLOLOL
type OP.

Type what they say
I was taught to fix them a little bit if needed.  Of course, I work in a teaching hospital and you can do that.  With the foreign docs, they don't make any sense sometimes and get words wrong.  We can fix them, but if they are hard dictators, we just type what they say and let them worry about it.  I have been thanked for doing this for 19 years. 
Is it Type 2 or Type II?
I have been typing Type 2 because I thought it changed but just got corrected. 
Type 2
It's Type 2.  At www.diabetes.com and www.diabetes-facts.com they both have it as Type 2.  Even if you search for Type II and logon to their site they have it as Type 2.  The main thing is how your MT company or physician prefers you to type it.
Type 2
AAMT (2nd edition) shows type 2 diabetes mellitus

i got a call thurs from ann at all type in response to my resume, called her back 3X and she's never called me back. not impressed.
My dog is in my lap as I type this
Was thinking of getting a second dog so he would have someone to play with but after reading your post, that may not be the case! Don't you love it when then sleep? Yup, a tired doggy is a happy doggy.
Why do they always type like
they r in a chat room for teens?  LOL
all type
Good luck to you!
Just type what they say.

ok...here it is, i will type it as

i do it myself so i dont miss a step (it's early for me - PST!!)


Click START.  click ALL PROGRAMS.  Find the program you want a shortcut to be on your desktop.  If that program has an arrow pointing to the right, it means it will open up with more choices.  Move your cursor on top of the program you want...not the manual or uninstall but the actual program.  RIGHT CLICK on that program and you will see a menu. Click on CREATE A SHORTCUT.  It will create one in the menu you have open with a (....2) after it.  Click-and-drag that shortcut, the name with the 2 after it, to your desktop. 


Do this for every program that you want an icon on your desk. 


Those icons will have the number 2 after it and if you dont like that, right click on the icon and click rename and you can take that out.   When the name of the program is lit up in blue, hit END on your computer keyboard and that will take you to the end of the name, then backspace until you erase the 2.  Or you can rename the whole icon if you want...when it lights up in blue just start typing the name you want to rename it to.


that's it the way i understand it!!


How are you able to type in it?

I have tried both of these suggestions, which work just in creating the letterhead, but I am unable to type into it.  Can anyone help me past this point?


Thank you again!


All Type
I am wondering if there are any transcriptionists on here who currently work for All Type located in New Jersey?  I was offered employment by them upon successfully completing their on line test, sent in all required paperwork to them, had an on-line/telephone training course for the platform, email sent to me that I will be working with so and so this evening, have not heard from so and so, and nothing is happening as far as me actually getting going to work for them----all this very time consuming for me on top of it all.  Any input would be appreciated. 
All Type

Would like to hear from anyone who has worked for or is still currently working for All Type, Inc. located in New Jersey.  All pros and cons of working for this company are welcomed.
