Oh - gotcha.  Thanks.... but what is everyone going on about the new features??  I'm still lost on that -
which FTP software is it that is free? nm

Free AV software
The free version of AVG is the only one that I'd recommend among the freebies. My preference would be either the "total" AVG product (not free) or Norton.

Unfortunately, no single AV software is able to catch every single virus. You have to consider that by some estimates there are a thousand or more viruses being released every day, which means that no virus software can hope to be 100% up to date.

Best free encryption software? sm
I'm going out of town tomorrow, kind of a mini family emergency, and for the first time will have to drag my laptop along to work.  The encryption software on my main computer cannot be transferred to the laptop.  Anyone have opinions on free encryption software that is fast to install, good quality, and easy to use.  I don't have enough time to learn new software or putz with it.  Thanks.
Found free FTP software
When I clicked on the FTP words in your message it took me to the description of what an FTP is and if you scroll down there are a list of places to get free downloads. Super.

Thank you everyone. I will try and work with these and see what happens.

free or cheap linecount software

Just bought a new computer and need to load a linecounting software program.  Used to have MTCount which was free but now it has changed to MTTools and is no longer that way.  Any suggestions?


 


free line count software
I need a free download for line count software that is accurate, anybody know one.  Thanks.  wordgenie
free voice file software

I am in need of a software that plays .dvf files.  I currently use Gear Player, and although it plays a multitude of different files, I can't get it to play .dvf.  Does anyone know of a free one online I can try?  Thanks!! 


Anyone know where I can get the old MPCount software that was a free download?
I know that it is now part of MPTools or something like that and you have to pay for it, but I just want the old version.
Advice on free or cheap MT software, please

I need a software program similar to GearPlayer, free or cheap. Is there one that anyone can recommend? I want one that would work with the GearPlayer footpedal I have or with easy keyboard commands to start, stop, rewind, etc.   


I ran across a site months ago that had older versions of Stedman's spellchecker for $30 or so. If anyone knows that site, or one similar, please share that info, as well.


I also need WordPerfect, as new a version as I can get, but as inexpensive as I can get, also.


Thanks!

Download FTP SERVER software (it can be found free). Then have the docs
upload their files to YOUR server. There is no cost to you or the doc to do this. Someone does have to pay for the recorder, which I have chosen to do for 2 docs. The other one purchases his own when needed (twice in 7 years). One picks up files on FTP server. The other 2 still want theirs printed. Since they are not in same city, I mail them via snail mail and they are happy with that. I also do fax any stat reports to them at no charge simply because I have unlimited long distance.
Any suggestions where I can obtain free invoicing software, or reasonably priced. nm

Anybody know of any free foot pedal/transcription software besides Express Scribe? TIA. nm

Storage
I had similar problem -- I went to Staples and bought an external hard drive with USB port and simply plugged into my computer - my computer just sees it as another drive. Cost about $60 to $80. I've been storing all my voice files on it. Safer than FTP and more convenient for me to look up.
storage
I know what you mean about them pestering you to locae missing files and the like. It seems to me like their storage problem should be their responsibility and not yours. Perhaps they need an office coordinator, someone more organized, who would keep track of these things. I wish you luck. Beyond moving on, unless they decide to become more organized, I don't see much hope for your end getting any better.
storage vs memory
I think you have a basic lack of understanding of the difference between these two. Storing information won't slow down your computer unless you are constantly accessing it & your disk is really fragmented, & even then the difference might not be noticeable. Speed has to do with memory & processor speed, & photos or files stored on your computer don't have anything to do with this. Otherwise why would hard drives be equipped to handle 250, 500, 1000 GB (or more) of information? Processor speeds and amount of RAM have not increased proportionately. It's the RAM & processor speed you should be thinking about, not how many photos or videos you have. Memory is easy to add. Go to crucial.com.
EHR is the digital storage of
In theory, it would allow any physician at any facility to have immediate access to a patient's entire medical record. In practice, not so much, at least so far.
I use a plastic storage bin and cut a section out for him to ...sm

get in and out.  I do not use the lid.  It has nice, high sides, room to turn around and I usually try to keep 3 inches of liter in it.  


I have 2 other 'regular' size cats who use the standard liter boxes just fine but my big guy only uses his big, roomy custom box.  I also replace it about every 5-6 months.  I wish you and your kitty all the best! 


Please let us know what the vet says.


HIPAA and storage of files
I have a client that has requested I store all their audio files and documents on my FTP indefinitely. They send a lot of work and after only a month, my FTP is starting to act up. It was never intended to be used as permanent storage. Also, I was under the impression that as an IC transcriptionist, I cannot legally store these files for any longer than about a month or two. I routinely clean out my computer whenever I receive payment.

Am I right about this? I had a HIPAA compliance book which I cannot find for the life of me right now. I would also like to offer them some suggestions for secure online storage if anybody has any.

Thanks as always guys. :)
I have 4 of those machines sitting in my storage....sm
I'm sure I have that info.  I will check tonight when through working and will email you.
Yep, it was me. Storage tubs are great for so many things!!!
Glad to hear another big boy is happy! 
need online file storage location

We transfer our files back and forth via email and very frequently the clinic is "missing completed" files which we have sent them.  This is beginning to take up way too much time to look up and resend.


I need an online storage site where us transcriptionists (3) can send a copy of finished work and also the clinic receptionsist can also access to look for "missing files."  (Preferably free or low priced) Any ideas??  Thanks.  Free


I just pulled mine back out of storage - LOVE THEM!! nm

I use Gmail, which has a huge storage capacity and search function (sm)

Which is why I like it.  I don't have the emails stored on my computer, just on my Gmail.  Free and I haven't even scratched the surface of my storage space yet.  Of course the actual files are saved on my work computer.  I have a monster of a work computer, so storage would not be an issue.  I have two other computers for family use.  Nobody else in this house even BREATHES near my work computer. Ha ha! 


Nothing is ever sent just in an email. I zip everything up using WinZip, with password, and then attach it... For HIPPA compliance. 


I do send one email a day unless I am asked to do STAT work and get it back right away, in which case separate emails are used. 


 


Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw

why pay for anything, right?


Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!


A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.
Then, if you like it, you can purchase it for $59.95.  See link below.
yes it is free....mine was free....why the exclamation?
nm
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.

Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.

Good luck - hope it works out for you.
There are free ones out there. I have been using a free one for 5 years. sm
Just have to research FTP server software.
free? We are not *free* - what planet R U on?

Free? Liberal?  You know nothing about me......I'm a 4th generation American so don't get up in my face......


We have a bad bad reputation today....and we do NOT HAVE 60 ALLIES/COUNTRIES BACKING US UP IN IRAQ....you better open up your eyes to the REAL stats.  Perhaps in 2003 we had 60 allies/countries backing us up....NAME 60 today.  I can name maybe 10 countries.......


You are terribly off-base.........even the soldiers have spoken up stating *unfortunately, this has become OUR vietnam* -


here's where you might think of beginning...iraqi veterans against the war......not a liberal website by any stretch of the imagination..

NEW SOFTWARE

I have been out of the loop lately.  What is this new software?  I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously.  I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 


software
I work for a company that uses it and it's very simple to use.  I edit 90% and transcribe 10% and it's very simple to use.  Basically it's microsoft word with all the bells and whistles.
Software

I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc.  I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax.   Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes.   Works for me. 


 


software
A place called Webchart contacted me and had a lot of the features you are looking for but it was quite expensive and I knew my docs would not go for it.  I could not afford several hundred dollars a month for it.   But you might do a goggle and see what comes up but the company name was webchart. 
a/v software

aside from the fact that it's probably true..!!  hehe.


if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.
