encryption programs
Speaking of encryption, my doc wants to go through tapeless and go with a WAV pedal program. What are the ins and outs of these programs; what's good; what's not.  Are they easy to load, setup, etc.  And, what above the WAV pedal programs? Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
encryption programs
Can anyone tell me of a good encryption program to use with WAV pedal program?
Best free encryption software? sm
I'm going out of town tomorrow, kind of a mini family emergency, and for the first time will have to drag my laptop along to work.  The encryption software on my main computer cannot be transferred to the laptop.  Anyone have opinions on free encryption software that is fast to install, good quality, and easy to use.  I don't have enough time to learn new software or putz with it.  Thanks.
Anyone familiar with Thawte for their free encryption email service?

I was looking at Thawte for a security measure for sending medical reports through email.  Has anyone here used them before or know anyhthing more concerning this company?

Are there free FTP programs?

Are there free FTP programs?

I would not bet on free antivirus programs,
that's how one usually gets some viruses in.

Download
McAfee
or
Norton.

Nothing good is for free....
So are their any free fax programs/websites beside efax?
I don't want to miss another paystub
Great free anti-virus and antispyware programs...
Oh, also... you do need to make sure that you have a great antivirus and anti-spyware program running at all times on your computer. I personally use AVG free version antivirus and SpyBot Search and Destroy for spyware. Check with the repairman you just used for a reliable site to download these (or what he recommends you use) and instructions on how to run them. They have saved my behind numerous times since my crash. (Didn't have them before.)
Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander?  I prefer something very simple.  I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts.   Many thanks.
FTP vs encryption
What is the advantage of using FTP rather than just a good encryption program?  If sent through email with encryption and the doctor's office saves in their computer, why would that not be sufficient?  TIA
Encryption
I have a small company and use encrypted email only to send patient lists, not reports, which we do through a server.  I would highly recommend Versign as the premier encryption service above and beyond what HIPAA requires.  Both sides, those accepting and sending emails, must have Versign for it to work.  Its safe and dependable.  I wont allow my transcriptionists to work without it.

I like Cryptainer.
I can't find an encryption key?
I'm confused
Use an encryption program.
Google encryption software.
Email encryption
Hello, does anyone know of a very simple, inexpensive email encryption program? Was previously using Hypersend, but they are changing and after 12/28 will be much more expensive (had used this free for the last year) to use. I only send 1 or 2 encrypted emails (containing patient notes) per week and really don't want to bother with FTP or any of that. Would like something similar to Hypersend, which was so simple & easy to use. Had previously purchased Centurion software for encryption, but found it complicated on the recipient's end to use. I see a lot of programs/software out there, but don't know which ones are legitimate or trusted. Would appreciate any advice at all. THANKS!
email encryption
I just read another post about password protecting files in Word. Actually, I never knew that could be done. I just went in and gave it a try and it works great! This might be a very simple answer for all that I need this for.
good encryption program
MEP-- see http://www.deturi.com/oldsite/mep.html.

Also WinZip (the purchased version) has encryption.


Looking for an encryption program so I can send reports.

Maybe because Home version does not have encryption feature.

Outlook Encryption satisfies HIPAA

(Disclaimer: this is posted by Vann Joe, the publisher of MPWord, MPLite, and MPTools.)


Yes, the encryption built into Outlook would comply with HIPAA.


I note a user has suggested MPLite ($54). If you want to continue working in MS Word, adding MPLite to your work environment will save you much time both in generating the documents and in invoicing. http://www.mpword.com/7mplite.htm


MPWord adds these functions to what you get in MPLite: medical spell check, abbreviation expansion, encryption, zip, unzip, email, fax, ftp.


All our software is available for download and trial. You see, we don't want anyone's money, till you try the software out, finds it meets your needs, and absolutely love the time it saves you.


The same crap about HIPAA & encryption sickens me. The problem is what

happens once the information reaches India and is processed by the India MT.  So what if the dictation is "encrypted" and sent through "private lines".  What happens to the information once it's UNencrypted? That is where the problem is because then that private health information can be compromised and our illustrious HIPAA law can do NOTHING, NADA, ZIP to protect the poor patient...why oh why...again, because HIPAA is a U.S. law and is not enforceable outside of the U.S.


The next thing that doesn't ring true is the so called "aging" American Medical Transcriptionist labor pool.  Let's get real Mr. Paulik.  The FACT is that YES there is a shortage....a shortage of experienced MTs willing to work for PEANUTS!  Pay us a decent wage and watch those experienced MTs come out of the woodwork!  Also, take a good hard look at every single MT website and see the enormous number of American MTs, EXPERIENCED MTs looking for work.   


I am so fed up with these corporations using this same lame excuses time and again to justify what comes down to the almighty buck.


Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.
Then, if you like it, you can purchase it for $59.95.  See link below.
yes it is free....mine was free....why the exclamation?
nm
There are free ones out there. I have been using a free one for 5 years. sm
Just have to research FTP server software.
free? We are not *free* - what planet R U on?

Free? Liberal?  You know nothing about me......I'm a 4th generation American so don't get up in my face......


We have a bad bad reputation today....and we do NOT HAVE 60 ALLIES/COUNTRIES BACKING US UP IN IRAQ....you better open up your eyes to the REAL stats.  Perhaps in 2003 we had 60 allies/countries backing us up....NAME 60 today.  I can name maybe 10 countries.......


You are terribly off-base.........even the soldiers have spoken up stating *unfortunately, this has become OUR vietnam* -


here's where you might think of beginning...iraqi veterans against the war......not a liberal website by any stretch of the imagination..

MT programs
The top 3 MT programs are Andrews, M-Tec and Career Step. Have not read any complaints about Andrews or M-TEC. Graduates from those two schools have a much better chance of getting hired at home without 2 years of experience.
MT programs

I found a new company online called MT2B.  It appears that if you successfully complete their school they will offer you a job at their company. Some of the MT courses out there are hard to follow and do not teach you all that you need to know when you first begin job hunting. I know this from tutoring and mentoring new MTs for the past 9 years. This school seems to teach in a more hands on manner from what I understand.  Might want to give them a try. I found them at www.MT2b.com.


This jobs does have a lot of ups and downs. I have been in this business for 12 years and I wouldnt trade it for anything. It has allowed me to take care of my son who has health problems and be at home. I have made good money and not so much money. I see it as...it has its problems just like any other job at home or not at home.  Just have to hang in there and find the place of employment that fits you best as an individual. There are still some good companies out there.  Just have to find them.


 


Good luck to you


FAX PROGRAMS
I use the Winfax program.  Works great.  You fax reports right from your computerr rather than printing and then faxing.  Saves time, paper, and ink.  Receive faxes directly to your computer as well which can be sent to your printer.
the programs
Are set up in such a way, that they know who their star players are, who their B players are, and who are the problem children.  Sounds like he just wanted to buy a new boat and didn't want to have to get a loan first. 
programs? SM please

Hi


I have work to transcribe and I can't find any programs that work well to do it.  Instead I am listening to the same sentences over and over at least 40 times, miss a word and can't go back, try to and you go back to zero, lose a half hour listening to what I already had, etc.


Please tell me if you know any good programs.  Working with MS Media Player and F4, typing in Wordpad.  THANKS


VR programs
What VR programs are the best to use for the most productivity? 
Lost programs.
I bought a new computer and was going to let my daughter use my old one for a project she had going.  She deleted all my transcription programs.  Later, her project fell through and I needed the computer to use in my home office.  I was able to do a system restore, even after several weeks, and get almost all my stuff back.  For some reason, Stedman's spell check did not come back up, so I do not know what happened there, but everything else was there. 
productivity programs

Our company is currently using Winscribe dictation system, but they did not buy the transcription side of this, which creates a database and templates and saves the work to a file. 


I am looking for productivity program that works the same way that is reasonable.  ADS may be one but I have no feedback on this. 


Any suggestions.


 


12 step programs, which above are
referring to, are all based on God, a higher power - surrendering to that higher power, and then healing following the 12 steps. Leaving religion out of recovery is rather contradictory!
exercise programs (sm)

For about three years, I had suffered with severe asthma and allergies.  I could not ever get any of it under control.  I had to take a lot of steroids during that time and everytime I tried to get in an exercise routine it would just exacerbate my symptoms.  It turned out we had a black mold problem.  I was the only one with symptoms though.


We moved though and now I am in total recovery.  My asthma is completely under control.  I might only take it now once or twice a month, if at all (used to take it 4-6 times a day).  Doctors say I may always have it now. 


I have put on a significant amount of though and really would like to get it off.  I don't feel good about myself anymore.  I eat very well and I am maintaining my current weight.  I just do not get the exercise I need. 


I was really active into Taebo before all of this began, but I don't feel like I can just jump back into that right away.  I need something that would slowly work me back into shape.  Any suggestions?


Thanks in advance for your help!


Recommended Programs
I have a bachelors degree in Biology and one in Medical Technology. Right now I am working for a hematology instrumentation manufacturing company. Getting tired of the rat race and with the change of being "let go" at anytime (seeing a lot of people that started with me go) I am looking for something to back me up an hopefully work from home. How do you guys recommend one gets started as an MT? I went into the AAMT website and saw three educational programs recommended, M-Tec, Andrews, and Career Step. Are these good places to start? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Recommended Programs
Thanks for all the inputs, with everything I have heard, it seems that becoming an MT is a really bad idea. 
I know, I still can't watch any of his programs
yet. He was so ALIVE it just seems unreal that he isn't here anymore :( My heart goes out for Terri and the kids.
thanks but prefer programs not from...

Shortcut programs?
Which shortcut program is easier to use?  Shortcut for Windows, Smartype, or InstanText?  I need to start building a good shortcut list so I can build up my line count?
RE: Shortcut programs
I really like Shortcut.  I just upped my version.
TiVo your programs...sm
I used to work with my tv on, and it really dragged my day out. Now, I keep it off and watch my shows at night that I put my DVR. Look into your cable company about it if you haven't already.
coding programs
I heard that they are coming out with programs that will scan the note and pick out the key words needed to do coding.  Pretty scary if the transcription is not accurate!  So do they outsource to India to save money and then have good coders, or do they hire good transcriptionists and use a scanning program for coding?  Either way, our future looks pretty grim.
Abbreviation programs

Hi - What type of abbreviation program is good?  I used to have Abbreviate, but no longer have it.  Is Foxfire a good program?  Does anyone just use their Word autocorrect strictly?  If you use Word autocorrect - do you know how to copy it and put it on another computer? 


Thanks for any help!!


Back up programs sm
I'm notorious for not running backups and need to get in the habit of running regular backups. How recommending a good, easy, not too costly program?
Both programs running (sm)

will make your computer run slow.  I tried One Care, didn't like it.  Also, I don't run PC Tools Spyware Doctor, just put it on when I'm finished for the day to scan computer at night.  The One Care combined with Spyware Doctor are the culprits.  Try turning them off and see what happens.  Good luck.


Most companies' programs are not yet
compatible with Vista. Some companies let you use satellite, some don't.
Is there other programs that are similar to...

Express Scribe?  I was just curious. 


 


Thank you again~
