Why Time Codes?
Posted By: Dan Edge on 2007-05-21
In Reply to: I guess I don't understand the purpose of a time stamp - MT
Hello,
Time code stamps are used for a variety of purposes. First, it makes it much easier to find where you are in the audio when you are reading through a transcript. For example, a 6-hour medical conference can generate a 300 page transcript. It's not always possible for the Transcriptionist to identify all the speakers, but the end user of the transcript often knows who is speaking by his/her voice. With a time coded transcript, the end user can go directly to the point in the audio that they are interested in.
Also, if you want to create scrolling text with video editing software, you have to give the program time codes. Some companies that do online CME use a scrolling transcript on the page. Time codes let the program know what text to display at what time.
Finally (and this is the application I'm least educated about), after a movie is filmed, the production company often requires a very detailed transcript of the movie, including time codes.
There are probably other applications, but these are the first that come to mind.

Field Codes
Not sure if this is what you mean, but if you place field codes (CTRL + F9) in the appropriate places in your template, you can jump to them by pressing F11.
Field Codes - yes that's it...
thank you so much. 
Jump Codes
In Word -- go to View - toolbars - check forms. Now on your top toolbar you should see a little box with 'ab' and a check mark next to it. Put your cursor where you want the jump code and click on the 'ab.' Jump code will come in.
You mean ASCII codes? Try here:

Does anyone know how to set stop codes in
Word? TIA!
Stop Codes
Its Ctrl F9 to create the stop. Ctrl F11 takes you through the document.
Stop codes. sm.
What do you use stop codes for? I know how to use jump codes, but how can I incorporate stop codes into transcribing document? TIA.
Need Help W/Stop Codes
I've tried saving the stop codes as part of my template in my AutoCorrect in Word, but whenever I pull in the template, the stop codes are gone. It appears as though they won't save in AutoCorrect. I've also tried saving them into my template in my expansion software, but they disappear in this, also. Can anyone help? Thanks!
ICD9 codes?????
I have a dictator who is giving the ICD9 codes after each diagnoses. Are these usually included in the report??? I know that I have to follow the accout specifics for every account, but there is nothing about this in any of my specifics or standards. I have never run into this before! Any help would be appreciated!!!! Thanks~
Jump codes - sm
Well, that didn't work either. Nothing happens when I do shift+F11 or just F11. Thanks anyway.
Creating Jump Codes
Can someone help me, please? I'm trying to set up my own templates and need to create jump codes. Does anyone have any suggestions? I did the Ctrl F9, but when I saved the template and reopened it, the blank symbol was gone. If anyone has suggestions, I am willing to try them. Thanks everyone. Have a blessed day.
Can someone please tell me how to see document codes in Word?..nm

Need Word help again please :) (jump codes)
I posted yesterday about the jump codes. I put the brackets in by ctrl F9 and that worked great. The problem is that once I save it, I have to get the normal back to the screen when I want to use it by going to insert and then file and clicking on that normal. Once it loads the normal, all the brackets I inserted have turned to little square symbols and the F11 function is not working on them anymore.
Any ideas on what else I could do? I have to use the file and then insert though to retrieve the normal.
Thanks in advance!!
Hit alt F9 to show the codes. Did you tick the
formatted text radio button when you added to autocorrect?
For jump codes in MS Word,
I believe that when you are setting up your template you use F9 to create the jump to field, and then use F11 to jump to it when you are transcribing.
If your company does not give you the codes..
which I am sure they will I will be glad to assist you. I can possibly get you the codes tomorrow as I will have my daughter scan and copy it and then email it to me and I will email it to you. Most likely your company will get that to you. Good luck...
bayscribe jump codes -- yes
You set your jump code (mine is ^, can't remember the default) under Bayscribe word Expander settings, tab "Local Configuration" ... near the bottom of the list, "set quick find text" is where you enter your personal ^ and then under "find quick find text" you set your key-combo to take you to the next one ... (mine is shift-control-Y) ...
The big caution is to make sure that your "^" and key combo aren't already in use (or something that might appear legitimately in a report)... and that work for you. I had a problem with the defaults, but I can't remember what it was! Good luck -- works great!
Press Alt + F9 to toggle on field codes.
Or go to tools, options, and check field codes on the view tab.
Alt F9 also shows and hides field codes.

Ctrl. F9 to create codes, F11 to move through them - nm

Thank you Sarah1114 for your info on stop codes!
I ran across that note from 1/22 today. I've been trying to figure out how do do that for the whole five years I've had this computer, but didn't even know what phrase to look for (ie, "stop codes"). You've just made my like a lot easier!!!
I have a question about inserting field codes..sm
When creating templates to be stored on Bayscribe, is there a way to insert field codes? Some call them jump codes or stop codes. I'm trying to create templates for an ER account and desperately need these code! Thanks!
How are codes separated? - comas, hypens, parentheses

You can manually type the codes for caps lock on and off
Just type the symbols on the keyboard with the B and it will go in fine. Don't know why your keyboard is beeping, but hope it won't when you manually put the codes in. Hope this helps! :)
Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?
**yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
Hippie?? What pray tell is a hippie? Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun? Bye..bye..old person..
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I never denied that I need a break from time to time, but
I was just stating how I took her post and the fact that I am worried about how my son will react since he is already getting quite upset. But, yes, any parent SHOULD be able to admit that they need a break from time to time...we're only human too! :)
even ISPs have to do maintenance from time to time--sm
and most do this during the wee hours of the morning when MOST people are sleeping and not using the internet. They need to upgrade their services and virus protection just like the home users. This is probably what occurred.
I recently requested time off for the first time...
(3 days off) and gave 2 weeks notice but was asked by my boss to give more notice next time. I thought 2 weeks was decent, but next time I will give at least 30 days.
Do we enter each time there is a new prize, or just the one time?
thanks.
Not 1st time, wont be happy the 2nd time and

Utter waste of time, unless you have a lot of time--then have at it! nm

I've had 3 at one time, but only one open at a time. nm

Virtually never. Time spent doing that is time SM
that could be spent typing. Instead of stopping to listen, then typing to catch up, I scan AHEAD of the dictation as I type, looking for upcoming questionable areas.
