PUSH those MTs!
Out of the blue I got a call from one of the bigger MT companies, asking if I would be interested in a supervisory position.  The recruiter and I chatted for quite a while and she said she would like to forward my resume to the higher ups.  The higher up that called me appeared to be a young recent business school graduate who was probably busy having his shoes shined as we spoke.  He immediately jumped on the negative bandwagon and let me know that they needed someone who was going to make those MTs toe the line and get their production up (clearly not anyone like me who might have some ideas about how to get production up without threatening and intimidating the MTs).  They clearly have all gone down this rediculous path...  and think most MTs are just trying to get away with something and don't want to work.  Not very rational thinking on their part.  MTs want to work.  They just want to get paid for it.  I'm so sick of it.  I see it everywhere.  Other professions do not work like this, getting paid only for production.  Truth is it just doesn't make any sense and for the life of me I can't figure out how any of them can tell themselves they are making an honest living and claiming to manage something they don't have a clue about.  Why the heck doesn't someone come up with some ideas about what will actually work.  This work is not going away no matter what they say.  I don't see much progress in speech recognition and the send to India thing isn't working either.  They need us, they just don't seem to know it yet.  I'm not a work horse for corporate profits and silly barely out of high hot shot managers who think they know what they are doing.  Its just all getting so old. 
I don't think you should push your luck!
This sounds like an account we all dream of, for those of us who enjoy radiology.  I would play it safe.  Find out what the going rate is in your area.  It's likely they may be looking at more than one option.  I personally wouldn't take it for less than 12 cpl/65 char.  I would also suggest that you get them to sign a contract, which would guarantee you the account for as long as you indicate in the contract. Just my opinion.
I feel for you - I am too! I don't like to push my views on others
and to each his own, but I certainly wouldn't complain if I never had to touch a piece of bacon (ugh!) or raw meat again. I'm married to a meat lover.
Seriously. Advice to push his buttons was way out
of line - very dangerous - you meant well, and it may have worked for you, but that was way out of line. You have no idea of the gravity of this woman's situation, what edge this guy is at, and easily she could be killed - be logical, not emotional.
Maybe it's time to push for legislation to make

I didn't push hard with my Belkin, but
I hated how big it was and how my body didn't like it so well. I recently made the switch to the Kinesis Advantage from my Belkin, and I really, really like the Kinesis. It's so much smaller, the keys are really light to the touch, and I can set it in my lap, which I prefer to the desk. I would recommend the investment for the Kinesis if you can. Besides the thumb keys being the greatest invention ever, the number split is at 5 and 6 like on the Belkin. If you look for a reburbished Kinesis Advantage, it will save $60. It has the same warranty as the brand new one. Mine is a refurb, but it's good as new.
WHAT? Does ex-text do that? These companies push so hard for VR, there has to....
be a great advantage to them. I hear of girls doing 3000 to 4000 lines a day but have never talked personall to one. I couldn't , too much editing of sentences left out, doctors who have the habit of changing commplete sentences, sending you back up a report to add this this and that. Geez, that is not counting the a, the changing from the to that, a to an, on and on ad nauseum.
Does BOS 3 now not push a dash between things like 3-cm incision or
what is the rule for this.  I dont have BOS 3 but I do have BOS2. 
They dont need to cheat now since they have lowered all the lines pay and will probably push like
crazy now to get everything they can on ASR.
Gatorade ... push it. He is dehydrated maybe with that weight loss.

My office did not allow feedback. They just wanted us to push the numbers. They just did not care.
They don't care if you get it or not as long as it is fixed by QA.
EMR is part of a big government push for decreasing errors in healthcare..sm

the newer generation of doctors is very comfortable with point and click. They do their banking by internet, etc. As the older docs retire, there will be less and less actual dictation. Some fields don't transfer readily to EMR, for example, the ER doesn't like it because you "can't tell the story" with a point and click.  Another big advantage of the EMR is you can search the data. When Celebrex and other Cox-2 inihibitors were pulled off the market, all the EMR docs had to do was search the records for a match and they could then call all patients on these drugs to get them in and explain what was going on. They also will check for drug reactions within prescriptions, etc. That's why the government is pushing for EMR. Not to mention it will help build that insurance data base...I'm sure their lobbyists are pushing hard for that too.


If is difficult to work in a recliner and push a foot pedal. It can
be done but creates a strain on your feet/ankles and slows you down.  I work on a picnic table under an awning when the weather is nice, but I'm not able to work as well as I do at my desk because I'm not able to have a keyboard tray and working with my keyboard on the table makes it too high.  I've even tried work in bed using a tray across my lap, but then again you have the problem with pushing the foot pedal.   You could use the keyboard for your function keys but it would really slow you down. 
Did not know about the button at the top
My eyes usually do not go up there. I reported it too.

YUCK, YIKE. He or she is probably too cheap to put an ad in the paper.
Is there an OKAY button there?
I was thinking there was something you needed to do to verify changing the volume, speed, etc., before you closed that box but I can't remember for sure.

Autosum button
Is the autosum function part of Word?
Where is the JUMP TO button?
I no longer have the boards on the left either, and have tried all of the fixes suggested by MTStars. I did see a JUMP TO feature when I checked out a message posted on one of the state boards a couple of days ago, but it only allowed for jumping to another state. Would really like to be able to use this feature. TIA for any help!
Use the Load button.
Find the Load button in the toolbar, navigate to where the file is saved and load it into Express Scribe.
hit the "view" button

Pause button!
Sorry have to vent. Why is it doctors are completely incapable of using the pause button!  I mean honestly and I quote. "Hold on, hold on just hold on one second" followed by mumbling to herself.  "hold on for computer change, hold on for computer change, (insert 4-letter expletive beginning with the letter s) radiology isn't on this computer, hold on, hold on" and then switches sections entirely.  And last but not least, "hold on I'll get you the length of time of dosage of the Vantin, started on 04/12/2008, 13, 14, 15 (insert same expletiive), 13, 14, 15,16, so for a total of 6 does of the Vantin."  Bear in mind I'm also having to put up with a doctor who sounds like Fran Drescher with a head cold!!!!  This doctor always does this I mean honestly I have better things to do with my time (like make money) then have a doctor have the audacity to tell me to hold on one second and listen to them curse!!  Sorry had to get that off my chest.
Go to your "Start" button
on left bottom corner of screen > Open Menu for Programs > Shortcuts will be there to open the dictionaries.
There is a Print Screen Button..
at the top line of your keyboard. Press it and then go to your Windows paint and > Edit > Paste it there.


I wish we had a big button we could press that went BZZZZZZTT!!

Do a Search from the "Start" button. sm
Do a search from the Start button. Click search, type in a phrase or name that is in your template, click on search documents or entire database. There is where to find it. You will see the search in progress and on the right-hand side, the files with that name or containing part of whatever you typed in, will be there.
I have a search button on my keyboard--sm
that will open the search task window without having to go through the desktop program. there is another way to access it with key functions, but I am not sure what exactly that is, as I have only found that by accident and I was not particularly watching what key codes I had put in. Perhaps someone else knows that. and perhaps you can assign a key combination to open that for you on your keyboard. sorry I couldn't be much more help.
on the toolbar, next to the Bold button
There should be a little box with a number in it and a little black arrow. If you click on the arrow, it will bring up a bunch of font sizes. I would pick 12 as it is a standard size for printing. Hope that helps.
there is a report message button .....

Just FYI from me, just another poster...


when you feel like reporting a post, and you are reading their post - at the almost top right is a button that says REPORT MESSAGE.  This way, you merely report that particular message without having to post to the administrators/moderators here.  I've been posting here for 4 years now....and they added that button a couple of years ago.  You see the button when you are INSIDE someone's post reading it....


Just trying to help....have a GREAT day!!! 


You are hitting the Ctl button by accident..sm
happens to me too, until I figured out what I was doing.
what about the Report Message button..NM

Click the More button on the colors tab so you can
further customize the color in the right window.
Submit/save button

Hello out there all you knowledgable techie MTs.


My submit/save button is not working and I need any (easy) suggestions!


All suggestions appreciated as I am at a loss, having tried everything I know.


Thanks very much!


built in shelves, cute as a button!
Love it plus it is small with a built-in desk too!
Oops. Hit the send button too quickly.

How long before the person asking if you "want flies with that" will be from another country?


I can also understand why someone would move to another country to work because of economic reasons.  We're approaching a time where the cost of a gallon of gas may be higher than the hourly minimum wage.


Oops...thought I hit the reply button on the
original post.
Foot pedal keyboard button?

I have had trouble with my feet while working the foot pedal.  One of the services I worked for had a button attached to their keyboard where they could use that to start and stop the dictation, instead of the footpedal.  I know theirs was proprietary, and I couldn't get one from them, but I just wondered if there was something like that out there that could be purchased?  Has anybody else heard of this.


Thanks MTStars for JUMP TO radio button! sm
Much appreciated!!!!  Now we can just jump from board to board. 
Thanks so much. I see the hold, but don't understand the flash button. nm

I put mine on hold and hit the flash button

I held down the clear button and the screen
cleared, but the program button will not work still...no buttons do. Maybe in another day it will dry out, but I need to work today. :(

Thank you for the help though!
Is the mute button on your keyboard engaged?

You can tell if the volume is on mute by right clicking on the little volume icon at the bottom right hand of your screen, next to where the time is displayed.  Click on "Open Volume Control" and make sure nothing is checked off in the little "mute" boxes.  That's where I'd start first anyway...not that I have any first-hand experience in that particular matter


electronically sign - just click the button

An Infinity 3-button pedal will do just about everything. Your headset

Okay, there's the problem-view button is not highlighted
am I locked out of it or something. I don't have the view option to click on???
hit insert button before filling in fields.
see if that works for you. You will need enough space in between or you will type over the next field.

you also can do columns but I am not good at those; hopefully someone else will come along with info on that.
