don't send them thru ES -- find the actual file thru Windows Explorer on your computer. nm

How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?

I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this.  I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer.  Thanks so much.


error.error.error, should be a bad home life, sorry (nm)

Go to your shorthand file on your computer sm
All dictionaries end in .spf. Find the dictionary you are looking for, and there you go. Either right-click to copy and paste it into your email or do it from the attach file option in your email.
Find a wav file, then
Right-click on it. If one of your choices in the menu is "Open with" then choose that, then select Express Scribe. Check the box that says "Always use this program to open files of this type" and you should be good to go.
Download the voice file to your computer.
Then open ES and load it in. If it's not a supported file format, you can get a program like Switch to convert it to a supported format.
Can't you just reinstall the Spellex? If the program .exe file is on your computer you should be
able to reinstall, unless upgrading totally re-formatted your hard drive, which I presume is the case here (this is where backing up things comes in handy).  Maybe you can contact your school and ask for a new copy?  As for cheap and good, I doubt the two go hand in hand.  I use Stedman's Spellchecker and love it.  Maybe you can look on ebay and get a copy that way for not too much $.  Good luck.
I have access from home via moden to their computer file.
I have a dial up number to access the office computer file for the op notes I send over the modem. They print them at the office and take if from there. I have Dictaphone and they dictate reports via any phone into my two lines at home. The office had a computer tech set it up on my computer, to work with theirs. It is a nice arrangement. They can fix it so you can't access any other files at the office.
Right click the voice file and save it to your computer.

Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
What is acceptable error rate (i.e. error ratio to line count).
Thanks.
Your error made me chuckle, which is, ya know, fitting for the error. Not a big deal, and no we ALL
make mistakes! Heavens! I remember starting out, I actually typed CABBAGE! Can you imagine?  Scary thing, though, is when you get an MT out 10 years and they type cabbage.  There are errors like yours, and there are major-absolutely-no-clue-of-our profession errors, which are mind boggling when you see them in print.  I've been on both sides, typing and proofing, and I never dreamed of the quantity and quality of errors some MTs make - HUGE errors.  That said, yes, we all make them, but its the ones who are unlearned and then arrogant when you point out the error - we have to, ya know, and its done kindly, so that they learn, and still that type of MT flips out and has a hissy! No win situation for both parties, really, as the MT really can't grow in the field if they aren't accountable to themselves even for their work.  I can't give more specific examples, as I could potentially hurt some MTs who would recognize their errors, but I assure you, some are unbelievable. 
..in an easy to find location like your Desktop or a certain file. nm

Ctrl/S gives you the search function. Put in the names where appropriate and find a file you
s
I hear it's very difficult to find the file..for obvious reasons I guess! LOL

Find your sh9 folder on your computer. then sm
find all files in that folder that end in .spf. These are all your dictionaries. Select the ones you need to copy and copy them onto whatever media you're using to transfer. Then you just paste them into the ShortHand folder onto the new computer, and voila! REady for use on the new computer.
find System Restore on your computer.....sm
You need to find System Restore on your computer.  Go to START, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then click on System Restore and set it to a date when everything was working just fine and dandy for you (like a couple of days ago or so) and then everything should come up nice....the way it used to be for you. 
Find computer repair store in your town

I haven't read through all the replies, so forgive me if this is a duplicate answer.  Find a computer repair store in your town.  Many times they will take off Vista and reload XP - for a cost, certainly, but it can be done.


Vista isn't bad, it's just that there is so much out there that is not compatible with it yet.  It's a pain, to be sure.


My next computer is going to be a Mac.


No, it just freezes and I get an error box that says "printer error". nm

What is going on when every time you start computer - there are numerous empty folders, cannot find

OK, we don't see anybody signing off as....
Former housekeeper, former waitress, former bartender, former secretary.  As stated before, former bank manager was using her moniker to give credence to a post about finances, and the new board format carries your name to the next post.  Really, it's nothing that should make you feel any less self worth.
The MDs are the one signing the documents and
attesting to their accurateness. Not the MTs.

signing in for work

Some companies will verify that you aren't 10 minutes late connecting to their system and downloading from the pool, etc.


One suggestion for those signing the petition - (sm)
I just went to it to see how many signatures there are. There are a LOT. The only problem I see is all the "Annonymous" signatures. That makes the petition less powerful, and if I were the one receiving it, I would have to wonder just how many times a single person could sign it as "Annonymous". So show some chutzpah, people! A lightning bolt is not going to come out of the sky and strike you down simply for signing your name to a petition. This is America, remember? Please use your NAMES, not a cop-out.
ROFL.....Shouldn't you be signing your posts
as Dr. MT????

OMG What a hoot!!
Vonage. Huge problems just signing
up, so does not bode well. I have no idea why I didn't hang up with the customer service rep - they could NOT understand one letter I was saying. But I have such high LD bills, not due to work, just relatives being out of state. Then my credit card got messed up 3 x as rejected, when it was fine. Then I found out about 911 and that slight problem. So I called back and cancelled my order. Needless to say, they hit my credit card today and my intro package to set up arrived as well. So, now I am tempted - are they worth all the bother? My bill will be $28.41 set each month, which sure beats MCI which runs about $80, as well as Verizon Freedom Plan, which always cost me $90+. Does Vonage itself work well? Anyone?
Well, signing off for the night. It sure looks to me like MTs have higher IQs than average!.

Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you


Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone

you know into signing up.  I felt like a snake oil huckster.  I hated it.  I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money. 


RUN, do not walk away!  I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!)  Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing.  Then make a business out of it.  That's the best way to have a side business.  Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar?  Not so much. 


Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE.  Which company?
error
I like your math skills, 5 errors out of over 10,000 likes = 50%, glad you aren't doing my line counts.
EPT error
On a Friday I had my GYN to the urine test. At first it appeared negative, but after about 10 minutes up pops a second dot, faint at best. She took blood and told me that...I swear..."might be a little pregnant". You might want to go to a women's center where they will give you free tests.
Took EPT - said error :-(

Error
About the post re measly pay, I accidentally capitalized transcriptionist--but maybe I really thought the title "transcriptionist" meant something
Thank you. Sorry for the error

error in med given

this was dictated by ESL doctor:  unfortunately secondary to computer glitch, the patient was given Hytrin instead of Vytorin.


now i wonder, was this "computer glitch" bad enunciation that was mistranscribed or speech recognition gone bad maybe? 


ERROR message
I am trying to sign onto Docuscribe but it keeps giving me an error message that says "Editor failed to connect"  Can someone help?
simple MD error

They forgot to turn off the microphone before they said the words, OR they forgot to use the proper commands to direct you up to the location they wanted.

Had they done either, the words never would have appeared in the first place.


Error rates
Could anyone tell me how other service providers are dealing with error rates? Need to implement something but am unsure how to go about it. Thank you!
Sorry. Spelling error..
I mean adjust.
a GROSS error???????
come on. I do not think I would want to work for you!!!!!! **said jokingly**

To me a gross error is something that changes the meaning of something. You didn't get that the MT was from California when he/she put "Ca" instead of CA????? Sheesh......give 'em a break.

This is a style error not a GROSS ERROR. Maybe you should put this in your advertisement "Please use AAMT BOS guidelines when filling out application and submitting employment letter". ROFLOL!!!!!!

Seriously though, I think if the MT has a good resume and performs well on the exam that he/she should be given a chance. Be clear that you expect proper style guidelines utilized. If they still want to do things their way (from the 1950s, LOL) then put them in your delete box :-)
Just a thought.

Have a good day!

Mine has the error also
.
now on page 50, I have that error too..sm
page 50 of my book says *Aster-Coller* twice.......WRONG *sigh*
Trial and error.
I check with former companies that I still have good relationships with. I check the job boards. I cold email "good" companies and asked about part time. I have 4 jobs at the moment, 3 transcription and I work at a vet 4 days a month for a couple hours just to take a break and do something I really enjoy.
