Why did you have to cancel?
Isn't IC the pits?  They expect you to be at their beck and call, and can't guarantee a steady income.
You say you can't cancel it - does that mean you can't delete it?

Have you tried using both the delete button on your keyboard and the delete icon in Outlook Express?


If your camera came with any kind of software, you should be able to reduce the size of the pictures so that this won't happen again. A lot of times I will do a test email and send the picture to myself to be sure it isn't too large.


If your camera didn't come with software and you don't have Photoshop (and don't want to spend the bucks for Photoshop), there are lots of freeware/shareware downloads for basic photo editing software. Just Google it and I'm sure you will find something that fits your needs.


are these the ones that cancel out outside noise?nm

If we cancel our subscriptions, Advance won't be able to
sell as much advertising.  THAT is where they make their money, not by promoting offshoring.  If they can't distribute XX numbers of copies per month, the advertisers will go elsewhere.  Boycott ADVANCE and spread the word.  Shut the traitors down.
Had to cancel my plans again today to do MT (sm)

Although these doctors pay pretty well they are a pain in the neck.  I am about ready to give this up altogether.


I have tried other services and they only pay about half of what these guys do.  What next?  See items on E-Bay?


CANCEL THAT-- It was MedRite that was not very good. SM
I worked on MedRite by Crescendo. Not Meditech. I don't have experience on Meditech. Sorry, I had the name wrong.
Cancel please. Question answered.

Put your money where your mouth is and cancel
your service and switch to someone different. 
OOPS cancel that, I see you are trying to access one. nm

don't cancel ADVANCE subscriptions - just send an email or letter

detailing how disgusted you are with the fact that they are promoting offshore training and offshoring transcription.  This is the third article on this sort of topic that the magazine has done in a year. 


I find this particularly offensive because so many hospitals/medical record departments get the magazine and if they see this, then companies like Spheris, CBay, Healthscribe, and others will be getting called to come do their transcription!


 


So please, don't cancel your subscription, just voice your opinion and comments.  Thank you.

Hitting the numbers
I have to agree with Busy MT, Anon, and Endiqua. It doesn't matter how you arrive at verbatim as long as it is verbatim. I have a verbatim account typing op reports. I have set up a file with each doctor's name and a sample report, e.g., Dr. Smith, lap chole, appy, hernia repair. When Dr. Smith dictates, I cut and paste whatever procedure he is dictating into a new document and make any changes as he dictates. As someone said most doctors use the same phraseology in each report, making only minor changes during. For example, 5-0 nylon, instead of 5-0 nylon sutures. Just take out and add in without straight typing every single word. It's still verbatim. Using this system, my usual count is about 300-350 lph. I also use my expander extensively.
Obviously I am hitting a nerve somewhere
that you are taking offense to my posts. So which one is it, are you fat, ugly, have an acne problem or all of the above?
It is just hitting the keyboard to put something in

Hitting the wall

Hi fellow MTs:


Just wanting opinions.  I find some days, my fingers/brain are really "on" with transcribing, but then I have other days, where reaching my line count is a struggle.  Obviously, I'd prefer to all "on" days and I'm wondering if any of you have suggestions on being "on" more than off.


Thanks in advance and happy typing!


Hitting the wall
Thanks to my fellow MT's for these suggestions. I'll have to try the classical music.

Have a great day!
Try hitting CONTROL and DOWN ARROW?NM

Try hitting the Alt + Shift buttons and see if that

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying by not hitting enter twice...Ty for your help! nm

You are hitting the Ctl button by accident..sm
happens to me too, until I figured out what I was doing.
I don't hate you at all. That's all I'm asking, is how you guys are hitting those high #s,
had never even thought of using VR for myself! That sounds really interesting...
If in MS Word, sometimes hitting the "Undo" arrow (sm)
above can make something you didn't want go away. I've also discovered that if you are working online, like in email for example, hitting "Control" and the "Z" key at the same time works just like "undo". It's especially helpful for when you've just typed a long email, are just about to sign off, and you hit the wrong key and it DISAPPEARS! If you immediately STOP, don't touch anything else, and then hit "Control-Z", if you're online it SHOULD come back! :)
This way works, too, but using the ;yo or ;py cuts down on hitting the spacebar

Thanks for all your help. I did find it but can't get it to take effect after hitting apply so w
with it.  If I remember I put my headphones behind my ears as well.  I just don't always remember.  But thanks again!!

I think hitting escape at the end does it, or make other shortcuts for the long

Ctrl/T is for terminating a job. What are you hitting those keys for while you're working? ExText

You're hitting Alt+Ctrl+S. Hit Alt+Ctrl+C to get back.
