Gmail
I was using Gmail, but had a problem with my dss files being too large and would not fully download. I changed to another account, but wish I had stayed with Gmail and checked on paying for extra capacity. Now I cannot save my sent files with attachments, even with a premium account.

imho, the employer sounds...TERRIBLE! no pay raises, no paid time off? any benefits at all? unfortunately, MT used to be something one could do and be compensated well for. nowadays (after the trend to outsource and IC status with MTs settling for MUCH less than they used to make as employees, i.e., bennies!), MTs actually make LESS on average than they did in the 80s...BUT... wow, that employer you mention pays even LESS than the barest minimum i hear about. i've seen 7 cpl as starting rate, but NEVER 5 cpl! i would also want to know how she counts a line - the AAMT standard is 65 characters per line...including spaces, so it's worth your while to ask exactly how a line is calculated, and be honest: tell her you're trying to decide if you can make a decent income if you sign on with her.

there are many companies who will test you online and allow you to work online if you pass their test, and they don't start you at 5 cpl. as a contractor, you will have to negotiate line rate increases, which is no ez task. most companies will say bye-bye at that point, in my experience, no matter how good you are. but as an employee, you should be getting regular increases. the employer you mention sounds as bad as the one i worked for in the 90s, who said at a staff meeting - to which i was the only MT invited - that if she could, of COURSE she'd pay her MTs 2 cpl a line like they do in india. i felt SO appreciated!

do i sound bitter and jaded? i am! lol...

good luck in your search, and i wouldn't settle for the peanuts this employer wants to give you, and you can tell her this SEASONED mt says so!
do you have a gmail account?
If so, these directions tell you how to change the language on all Google products:

If your Gmail interface is in the wrong language, take these steps to fix the problem:

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click Settings next to your username at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Click on the language dropdown menu, the top entry on the first tab.
4. Select your language.
5. At the bottom of the page, click the right-hand button to save your changes. If your language has been set to a right-to-left language like Hebrew or Arabic you'll need to click the left-hand button.
6. In the window that pops up, click the right-hand button to apply this language choice to all of your Google products. Clicking the other button will apply this change to Gmail only. In Hebrew or Arabic, you'll need to click the left-hand button to apply to all.

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. 


 


Good luck. See what luck they're having on the

Of course you can access them

What do you mean you have no program to access them?


Why can't you just do a file search?

Access sm
I had a terrible time and kept restoring my computer to an older date late Sat., early Sun.. I think it just showed me how valuable this site is to me. I would hate anything to happen to it. Glad to see it back!!
I can access it.
If you still have trouble after scanning for malware, you might want to try polycola.com and see if you can access Google through there.
access disconnect
They disconnect the phone line and you see on your computer that the connection was disconnected.  Then they only can get back in when you let them, by clicking on an icon and working with them at your end to get them into your computer.  Dont worry, it is done all the time.  You will see the disconnect on your screen.
It's very frustrating trying to access
This qualifies for the Stupid Business Decisions award.
What are you using to access their FTP site?
You don't use Internet Explorer to access FTP sites.  You can download CoreFTP Lite for free and use it to upload and download from FTP sites.  If you want to, you can email me and I'll try to walk you through it.  Win98 shouldn't make a difference with regard to FTP.  As far as docking pay, well, hmmm, that's mean of them.  Anyway, download the FTP program and email me, and I'll see if we can't get you up and running.
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???

I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com

I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.

Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.

Wireless access?
So how do you have access to the internet along the way? Satellite?

/Would absolutely LOVE to do this as husband is schoolteacher off all summer, but I'm always working.
Wireless access. sm

In my past dial-up days, I used pay phones and calling cards to upload/download work. It is so much easier to connect to the Internet than it used to me because wireless access points are everywhere! (I am an IC and download voice file; I don't have to be connected to a system to receive work so if that is your situation, you may not find it as easy to work on the road.)


Depending on what wireless card you have, you can either use that software or Windows to find a wireless network to access the 'net. I've hit access points in campgrounds (that's our big pasttime), from parking lots at community colleges, hotels, libraries, Panera, McDonald's and even open home networks from the grocery store parking lot.


Your BIGGEST issue in all of this, however, is security. Make sure that you're using encryption to both send and receive; a VPN client is even better if your company has that set up.


You may want to buy an AC/DC power converter (about $35 at Wal-Mart) that plugs into your car's lighter. You then plug your computer's power cord into the unit for power.


Footpedals can be optional, depending on your software. I know that with ExpressScribe you can use the F keys to control playback, etc.


I have always had an access # assigned....
If you could get into a records system without a private passcode, that would be a major HIPAA situation! I always have a sign-in ID asigned by the facility for any C-phone account I have worked; but it is strange that you are hearing a beep and not an operator giving instructions. I've never had that situation before. If you don't have an account Lead you can contact to get help, I'm thinking you'd best tell your employer this isn't working! Good luck.
Do you have access to DSL or cable?

What you're thinking of doing may be more stressful to you than you think. The price for the high-speed Internet would certainly be worth it.


Help - I can't access my Email
It lets me sign in but the page says unavailable or something like that, the error page that comes up if you can't get on the Internet.  It happens on two different accounts - verizon and yahoo. and on both computers in my home.  I was chatting live with support for an hour and I accidentally closed the chat and I'm too tired to start over again.  Anybody know what happened?  Sorry if this is the wrong board for this.  Thanks in advance
No productivity access
Did you request a copy of the productivity log submitted by the hospital? That is all you have to do if your company did not submit one to you automatically. In addition, keep your own private long with accession numbers and times, anything you would need to support a discrepancy. There are a lot of programs out there that do not support that type of operation, so do not think you are being lied to. Just make sure they are right.
Has anyone ever let the company they work for access your..sm
computer for tech help? The place I am starting with has a program I need to download and use. I am having problems with the program and they didnt offer much help via emails. They just wanted me to "register" my computer so that they could access it and find the problem and fix it themselves. This sounds extremely dangerous to me. If they can access my computer to fix it, then what stops them from coming in to look around at personal info, such as on line banking info, or other personal info? Also, my husband has a lot of high security stuff from his job on his computer and since we are all hooked together, could they access that too? Sounds really odd to me. Has anyone else heard of this? Thanks.
Yes, I've let my company access my computer.
I used to do the same for one of my MT clients and for remote users as a computer technician.  You can sit there and watch everything they do.  It's not like they're hacking your computer or keylogging your data.  You can shut them down if you're uncomfortable with what they're doing, and delete their access capability when they've finished.
THank you! Many people have access at this monitor.
Thank you!!
There is internet access but they charge big $$$

We went on a cruise in April and I did not even think of work.  It would not have been financially beneficial.  I would have paid more in internet fees than I would have been making.  I would just go and enjoy yourself. 


Digital Access Transcription

What can anyone tell me about Digital Access Transcription as a company?  I searched the Archives and came up with nothing.  I have not gone to the "other site" yet.  Just wondering in looking for different companies and what they have to offer pros and cons.


 


thanks


Fair Access policy
I have DW7000 professional and even with the extra download and upload capability they will still shut me down if I go over their limit. Also I am on SatMex and have had occasional trouble as long as I have had the system. Sometimes I just want to run over the dish and modem with my Jeep!!
C-phone access code ?? sm - HELP!
I bought a C-phone from E-bay.  When dialing a number, I get a message telling me I must use the "access code."  I am sure this is something that was put in there by the previous owner(s).  Can someone tell me how to "erase" this directive or clear the machine?

Satellite Internet Access

I am currently living in rural Iowa, and my only options for Internet access right now are dial-up (can you say S-L-O-W ?) and satellite.  I know I can get HughesNet and WildBlue.  My questions are:


1.  Are there any other providers I may have missed?


2.  Anyone have experience with HughesNet or WildBlue or any other satellite access for MT work?


I have to make a decision on this within the next week or two, so any help would be much appreciated.

Voice files & access to VPN sm
I use a DVI system for the voice files and connect to a VPN to transcribe, and I am using just the mobile broadband connection. I applied to a couple of companies that said the connection would not be compatible, although I'm not sure why. My main issue is that I need to get a unidirectional antenna put up as my omnidirectional one tends to get fluctuating signals. As far as usage, I haven't really tracked work only or surfing only, but I would estimate no more than 1.5-2 GB of usage per month is strictly work-related. If anyone wants the name of the company I went through for my equipment, it is 3gstore.com. Excellent customer service, even if all you do is ask a question and not buy anything. They even answered some tech questions for me a couple of weeks ago, more than a year after I bought my stuff.
Thanks for the info...how do you delete their access after they finish? nm

Maybe ALL the tourists didn't have access to the mayor
Yeah, he's a regular Rudy Guiliani isn't he? You don't have a clue.
If they want that access, they would have to pay for the computer, the high-speed and the
portion of electric. Just my opinion. I own and run a national service and think this is ridiculous and a HUGE invasion of privacy. If worried about trust, how can they trust you with patient information. Refuse.

The name change was not to allow other who work in the industry access....
The name change was done to create more revenue for the organization. The association is losing money on a monthly basis and more and more American MTs are dropping their membership with quite good reason. All of the meetings I have attended regarding these changes have been connected to their association with the overseas MTs. Until AAMT becomes 100% American again, they will continue to lose. Do something for the American MTs, and they will come back. Very simple solution.

Satellite Internet Access - wireless?
Where are you located?  I'm in rural Iowa, about halfway between Des Moines and Omaha.  We are on a hill with no trees around, but there are higher hills around us, and we can only occasionally get cell phone signal.  No line-of-sight for the cell towers around here.  I don't really know much about wireless, though, but I'm not even sure I can get it here.  I don't even know what to look for, I guess.  Can you or someone else clue me in?
It is astonishingly easy to access a system
Sorry you are going through this. I am facing a major change that could result in loss of income in job site. The economy right now is demanding immediate cut backs from the looks of it. We are collateral damage of it and it is a darn shame. Do present a bid - contact the tech dept at the hospital and have them give you the necessary information to investigate what it would take to get you one their system - usually a VPN, internet access and a wave pedal which is basically a CD you download - and a pedal you plug in with a few things to type to get you where you need to be in the program - it is easy to master. If not this hospital you are with, then check the jobs listed in the two MT websites ***edited by Moderator*** and I just know you will find something soon. There is a lot to chose from but many are applying. Focus on your strenghts and I think we will be able to make a living out of this work for another ten years, albeit without a raise.
