They told me speedtype wouldn't work either

Posted By: fg on 2005-08-14
In Reply to: I'm getting set up for DQS and I was told by tech that Smartype is not compatible but(sm) - quietmoods

but it does - you just have to have it open while you are working - it does not integrate into DQS - just sits there and lets you stuff it with expansions..;)

I wouldn't use it unless told to by your
MTSO or clients. You may be getting a lot of reports back.
I was told it wouldn't be a problem when I asked. nm

does anyone work with speedtype on
What are your opinions?  thanks
Speedtype is also the exact same program as Shorthand, but Speedtype is a lot more expensive.
SpeedType AND ShortHand both come with a converter file that will import your AutoCorrect entries to either program. You do not have to pay Betsy to do that unless you flat can't figure out how to do it. It's not at all hard to do. Productivity Talk has posts that even tell you how to do it -- for FREE.
The company I work for said cable phone wouldn't work, just FYI.

An MQ recruiter told me yesterday if work is low they "cut off" the work

SEs are doing it.  She also told me that it is written in MQ policies


that MQ can let go EMPLOYEES without notice (I'm not saying statutory employees here, I'm saying employees).


 


The state told us that MTs are employees because we they work in our system and do the same work as
maybe you can work for a company in another state.
I wouldn't work for less. What's the deal with this woman and where does she work?

Then you would have no life at all except work, work, work if you did that. I wouldn't do it. nm
.
yes and I wouldn't work any other way
have to have the flexibility to move around.  Haven't had any of the aches and pains in my arms and hands since switching from desk-top to laptop.  Plus, it allows me to travel a lot and still keep up with my work.  Luv it.
No, but wouldn’t want to work there
Did before and really not good place- I left with loads of others, much happier!
That wouldn't work. When I'm in a groove I

can make $30/hour, on a bad day $20/hour.   No one is going to pay an MT $20/hour.   The MTs have less and less power because the companies can always turn to India.   A company doesn't know from day to day what the work load will be like, unless they are doing overflow for an account and only take a certain number of minutes a day.   Most of the time you can guestimate, but then when delinquent letters come out you'll get at least another 100 hours of dictation.  


I totally sympathize with the MT who is struggling to pay their bills and who want to work but can't get the lines.  It isn't fair, but it is what it is.   I honestly don't see it getting any better unless work is brought back to the U.S. and then once again the American MT is in high demand.  I've seen many MTs say they work for 2 or even 3 companies so they can get needed lines. 


 


If you wouldn't have it except for work then I say write it off...nm

BUT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY THEIR "BUSY" WORK?.... SM
   Awww... they have to justify their paycheck too, you know, or else MTSO will think they don't have enough to do.  Remember, they get paid to nitpick. Makes the suits and power-that-be think they're actually earning their oats.
I wouldn't want to work for anyone who posts

told me it would not work well
It could possibly work, but I was told by the secure FTP site that if the Olympus software was not a newer version that the doctors would then have to go to the secure FTP site and download the files manually, which would be very inconvenient for the docs. I checked and their Olympus software does not support an automatic download of the files to the docs, from what I can remember.
Great idea except you wouldn't get any work done!--nm

You're right! I wouldn't work for a company that SM
expected me to surf all over the world just because some prima donna didn't want to be bothered with proper dictation.
I wouldn't work as an MT for a lousy $7.50 an hour OR
.
I wouldn't suggest wearing them while you work.
Magnets and computers don't go well together. 
I would say NO otherwise our work wouldn't be in a 3rd world country.

Thanks, b/c 5 files at a time wouldn't work for me. nm

I work for MQ and was told 1 space...NM

We are outdoor people so my suggestions wouldn't work

for you, although we have a motorhome so our camping isn't really roughing it.  


We did not take an extendend train trip, but did take an 20+ hour trip on a train.   We did not have a sleeper car as it was just as cheap to fly as it was for the sleeper car and we were trying to save $$.  Anyway the train had mice and a sewage problem and every time the train hit a rough spot that made it jerk the sewage smell would go through the whole train and gag you.   There were people in sleeper compartments that their bathrooms didn't work.   Our train originated in NY and was going to FL and we got on midway and all the better seats were taken.   The train also seemed to stop at every crossroads for someone to get on/off so sleeping was not easy.  


I'm a long-time Monrovian. Wouldn't work anywhere else. nm

I wouldn't worry about it, unless you work in a small town.
I can't see any big hospitals or doctor's offices going back to that.
The plug is for the monitor, pedal wouldn't work there. NM

During my initial interview I told them I work on
Extext and she said that was what they used and didn't tell me any different when she said they wanted me to do this hospital so if it's not Extext I'm going to tell them I want something else. That is one of the main reasons I picked this company - the same program I'm already used to. I'll ask them about that. Thanks for the info.
I was always told that Editscript will not work with dialup.
I have worked on this platform for over four years and for a few different companies and not one of them every told me that dialup would work. Did you tell your employer that you had dialup?
AAMT is a 4-letter word. I work for MQ and never been told
any more uninformed directions from people who don't count?
Sorry, I got cut off and didn't realize it. I was told it was more of a way to get the work back
I was told it was more of a way to get the work back and forth.  Does it actually affect the line counts? 
I'm pretty sure they told us it would not work with Word 2003 at all. NM

If Tatum O was not a good actress she wouldn't have work no matter who her daddy was.
But you are right on one count. I would rather watch reality TV than bad acting and TV is filled with bad acting and bad scripts.

I didn't think Tatum did anything wrong unless you think telling the truth is a bad thing.
All groomers I have used, do it. The veterinarian I used to work for told people the groomer

Curiously I was told by Sylvan Software this a.m. that IT WILL work with Chartscipt - sm
The only thing is I could not get them to specific it would work with Chartscript.net. They would only say Chartscript, claiming they were told by the developer it would work. I get very frustrated with these companies selling products they know nothing about.
I was told that Healthscribe outsourced and when acquired, that Spheris would be bringing work
And this is information came to me from the inside, given to me when I was hired and in training.
FYI Blew motherboard. Need new puter. Was told not to get Vista as not compatible with work program

It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
I was told I needed 2 phone lines, but was told I was dialing into the doctors' system. What woul

Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?

SpeedType
I agree with you 100%.  I purchased SpeedType a couple of years back and hated the program!  It not only doesn't help with productivity, it also has the annoying window that stays open at the bottom while you're typing--which I found highly distracting.  After trying the program out for a couple of weeks (hoping I would get used to it), I uninstalled and stored the CD in a filing drawer, where it still sits today! 
I use speedtype with DQS
They told me it wouldn't work, but I tried anyway - it works just fine. It is not part of DQS of course, but sits open in my systray and works just as if I were using it in Word or any other program.
For Speedtype... Please help
Can anyone tell me how to find the AutoCorrect entries in MS Word (name of file) to send to Speedtype for conversion into Speedtype??  TIA!
speedtype with DQS

How do you use Speedtype with DQS?  I've been cutting and pasting from Word for two years and haven't received any complaints, but if there is an easier way, please let me know! 


Can you do this with SpeedType too?
I have the same problem with SpeedType. I type: 3yo and SpeedType types 3 -year-old with that space between the 3 and the hyphen. Anyway to close that space?
