do not believe it was ever Sheri's intention to have him take it over and represent overseas MTs and overseas MT companies. Whatever the situation, we'll never know for sure. The point is, the new administrator should advertise the website in an honest manner. For starters, he should remove the American Flag from the homepage and post the facts on the homepage that this is a website for International MTs from all countries and services being advertised are from both U.S. companies and overseas companies (having a base in one of our US States and conducting business overseas in no way makes a company American operated (maybe they have an office based in the U.S). Our U.S. citizens deserve to know where their medical records are going, and the doctor dictating their patient records deserves the same. What is the big deal about being up front and honest with straight forward advertising in an obvious area of the website for all to see?

    I believe most of the software written for MTing have a built in "cannot edit"

    mechanism,so that once a document has been signed; electronically or otherwise, it cannot be altered.


    Regarding Addundums, if you were not the original Transcriptionist who typed the document, most companies prefer that you bypass it in the pool, which will then be reassigned to the original transcriptionist.  It's not good company policy reading and/or making an addenda to anyone else's report other than your own.


    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!!!


    DQS already has an expander built in (sm)
    so you can build upon that. It's the only one I use, can't get into those other ones! Good luck, it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be!
    If we built and continue...

    ....to build corporations in Mexico, they why in the world do they keep coming over here for work? 


    I totally understand where you're coming from.  I have had many family members and friends lose jobs they have worked at for 25+ years.  It's a shame this continues to go on.  Maybe our political postions should be outsourced to the American people, not the high-rollers who are put there because of WHO they know and NOT because they care about us! 


    My son built my new computer for me
    last year. He is very knowledgeable in this field and he recommended the AMD 64-bit processor as opposed to the Pentiums. He said they were more reliable. I love my new computer. We purchased a "build your own" bundle through Tiger Direct, where you choose what you want in it. Mine was slightly over $500 with the DVD burner DVD player, mother board with 64-bit processor, and 512 mb of ram. plus some other features, that I don't remember, but my son could probably tell you. He said the 63-bit processors are the wave of the future technology. Hope it helps.
    Have you built up your speed yet? How did you
    deal with the learning curve and still get your line count in?  Thanks for posting this link!
    You can have one built special for you
    at any computer tech store. I ended up getting a refurbished laptop on ebay that had XP on it and got Word 2003 for only $39. I did buy a 2-year warranty on teh laptop, but even with that it was cheaper than buying a new one and having to have Vista deleated and adding XP and all the new drivers.
    A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

    Yes-- I have an Adesso with a built-in touch pad
    It works very well for me-- you don't have to move your hand that far to use it. It is strange at first, but once you get used to it, you will love it.
    The first factory is being built here in Georgia....sm
    Supposed to bring in about 2000-2500 jobs. Hopefully their quality of vehicles will improve. Time will tell!
    Do they still make keyboards with a built-in
    nm
    I agree with a custom-built....sm

    The problem with Gateway as well as IBM and probably a few others is they are proprietary, no one else can upgrade them. And unless you live in a large city with a Dell service center, for example, you are going to have to ship it whenever there's a problem or changes needed. It's a pain if you decide you need more memory, etc.


     


    I bought a used custom built that a local computer shop had stripped down to the basics, and they have been able to upgrade consistently for me. As a result I've had this computer for 5 years through numerous platforms, etc. and it's still exactly what I need it to be. Also when I have a problem they can service it without a lot of questions because they know it's history to a T. I would have had to buy a whole new computer during this time...great if you've got the money to do it every few years, but I don't. So for me, this is the only way to go.  .


    The wireless company has built their own s/m
    towers in many areas or lease buildings in strategic spots.  For instance, they have one on our local water tower, the farmer down the road from me has one on his silo, just in different locales.  They invested a lot of money in this because it is the only alternative out here.  They do not rely on the cell phone companies at all.  I know that things like trees and stuff impede it as well, as there are some people out here that can't get either unless they build their own tower that goes above the trees to put the receiver on.  The company spent a lot of time scouting out locations on hills, etc. to make this work.  I'm lucky that the silo is within my range. 
    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.
    Our regular Walmart was fine. Then they built the SM
    Super Walmart. It is disgusting. The toiletries department is small, smaller than the other one in the original store. Lots of absolutely horrible clothes and I am not a snob. The quzlity of the clothes has gone done, if that is possible.

    The worst part is the food section. I don't buy food there, but it is dirty, broken boxes of FOOD lying around. Few name brand items, it is truly awful. The produce section is about 2 feet wide. Damn shame.
    Well that stinks, my vet just built an addition onto the "house" she was using - sm
    It is now basically 2 houses connected with a wide hallway. She has 1 partner, who she has had for the last few years, and has not changed her services/prices at all. She now does have a $25 visit fee but you only have to pay it once a year, if you are regular customer she won't charge you for it everytime you come in. She does not charge for putting an pet to sleep either, as long as you are a regular (She knows us pretty well, I was there a lot with my old dog). She is very helpful to me, recently boarded our 16-y/o schipperke though she has not had her shots this year (my normal kennel would not take her since she was not current on her shots -- was due in 9/05) but as she is on her last legs I see no point in getting her vaccines. The dog is deaf and blind, having kidney failure very slowly but seems happy and my DH can't bring himself to put her to sleep yet. Our vet agrees with us on this point too.
    built in shelves, cute as a button!
    Love it plus it is small with a built-in desk too!
    Call computer geeks and have on built that way.

    You can remove the built-in shortcut from the Insert key. sm
    Go into Tools, Customize, then click the Keyboard button. Scroll down and click on All Commands in the left window. Scroll down the right window and click on the Overtype command. Click on the command in the current keys box, then click Remove.

    Our Wal Mart moved. Built a Superstore behind Kmart!

    Suprisingly, Kmart is still hanging in there and that's where I did most of my Christmas shopping. Great toy department! Much better than Wal Mart.


    No lines and no waiting either and you can park pretty close to the store.


    I built my own using the auto-correct function in Word. (sm)
    I removed most of the words that came with auto-correct, and replaced them with my own short macros, which consist of words, phrases, & short sentences. Little or no memorizing involved, because I made them up as I went along whenever I kept getting the same things over and over again, and got tired of typing them. For longer macros I just put them in a document file that I can copy and paste. Simple. And CHEAP!
    Site was foreign built from the beginning..just listed at top only for US

    They are newbies! They can built a Medical Phrase book
    buy entering the answers given on the word help board into the
    'Medical Phrase Index.'

    They will learn.

    Isn't it the goal, last not least to facilitate the job?

    Why do we use calculators, computers, kitchen appliances that facilitate out work?

    This is called evolution!
    My "techies" come to the house and most of the time get it fixed here. They built the computer
    :}
    That's what I thought too, but I was told the built in thing was compatible with my router. 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.

    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.


    Software Available
    I am using a sotware that is designed by me. Let me know your email ID, I shall send you my software.

    VR software
    I work for a company who is a major developer of voice recognition software.  I do transcription for them also and some reports are done with the voice recognition software.  Yes, it is like basically editing.  That is unless you get a dictator with a heavy accent and the software even has a hard time understanding.  The dictators have to go through a training period and the software actually learns their voice and speech patterns.  The hard medical words it usually gets with no problem, but the smaller everyday words don't come through correct all the time.  Some doctors are great, others should not be using it at all.  It makes for quite an amusing report at times.  I know it is the way of the future but I personally would rather type the report myself than try and edit some mess.
    software
    go through the link http://www.core-software.com/TMinfo.htm for a good software
    Is there any software out there....
    that performs like a Dictaphone or C-phone where you can dial into a system with your computer and control the dictation with a foot pedal?  My Dictaphone is going haywire, and I was wondering about some kind of computer software to replace it, if there is such a thing.
    To any software out there.... sm
    go to http://www.nch.com.au/software/dictation.html

    they have inexpensive call in solutions that work very well.

    Good luck!
    What the best software to use?
    Me and a couple of my MT friends have decided to make a small little MT company. You know just the three girls, made a lil pamplet and all. We're hoping by banding together we can met new clients ect. I was wondering what Mt software -for when the clients upload the audio files-should we use? We're on a budget and can't afford the 2,500 SW that's we've seen online. ANy suggestions?
    FTP software
    I'm trying to learn new FTP software, FTP Navigator.  I can read the files but they are in word pad.  Is this right? I am trying to read their sample reports and would rather read them in Word.  Can anyone help? TIA
    OEM Software
    I worked for a computer company that sold new computers.  OEM software is perfectly legal software and can be registered. This software is only supposed to sold with computers and/or hard disk drives.  The software companies offer this software as OEM so manufactures, like Dell, can purchase the software at a reduced price and package it with their new computer systems.  Technically, it is not supposed to be sold by itself, but it is perfectly legal.
    Do you know what the VR software is?
    x
    software
    I use Express Scribe too. It is free to download and so easy to use!
    It would have to be software like PC Anywhere (sm)
    and I would think they would have to have your permission to put this on there. As far as their own software, it wouldn't be able to *spy* on you. If someone else knows something different, please correct me.
    Software

    Could you let me know what system you are using and if you like it?  For example, Vianeta, MD Intouch, Dictran.  I am trying to find a good system for my company and would appreciate your input.


    Thanks


    You will need more than the software.
    Software is only the interface between your computer and the computer where the files are being stored. You need to have a secure server set up somewhere that you can upload/download files. These are not free. There is one site, www.ftptogo.com, that provides FTP space without needing software
    What is the software you will be using?

    Save Keystrokes and get paid more $$. These abbreviation typing programs expand an abbreviation macro typed into the keyboard and produce the expanded words or paragraphs they represent into your document automatically to greatly increase your typing speed. We offer Instant Text, Shortcut and Abbreviate. 


     


    you already do this with your autocorrect and autotexts or quickwords in WP, but this software allows you to port all your entries over to any transcription software that is "compatible" with whatever Expander you are using WITHOUT HAVING TO RETYPE THEM ALL AGAIN.  It can be pretty extensive and a time saver. 


    Software
    Where does one get medical spell checker software and short word software? About how much and how long does it take to get it? I thought companies provided those. All the ones I worked for did.
