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

Can anyone refresh my memory....

in Windows XP, how can I see what programs are running automatically on startup?  I should know this, but for some reason my brain is not cooperating!


 


TIA!!


please refresh my memory
on how to get that foot pedal screen....i can't remember!
The memory will refresh when you turn it off
so you have better computer performance.  Also, unless you have very good heat sinks in the machine, it is best to turn it off to let it cool down.  The temperature inside the machine is hotter than the Mojave desert in the middle of summer (and that's darned hot) and heat will do more damage to a computer than anything else. 
Does Express Scribe refresh itself or do I need to do that

Sounds just like my vet, except we're beyond

bloodwork and into ultrasounds.   Two years ago I had a cat that the ultimate diagnosis was FIP by process of elimination.  She had a CT scan, a spinal tap, an ultrasound and all kinds of blood work for a total of over $4,000.00.   I have a dog with Cushings and I haven't kept track of her expenses, but I'm sure we're close to $5,000.00 over the last 3 years.  She is currently on $300.00 worth of medicine a month and that will probably be increased another $100./mo.    I have finally gotten to the point where I tell the vet no about a lot of things because one test we do is $425.00 and HAS to be done twice a year, but it was done in mid December and the results were borderline and so she wanted to repeat again in January because the medication for the test is only good for 6 months and she didn't want to waste it.  I felt like 1 month wasn't going to show anything significant and our money would be better spent on her medications. 


I think more people are looking at pets as family members and not pets - I know we do.  We have 5 vets in our practice and when I see one particular one she always tells us we need to schedule a teeth cleaning.  I think they cost about $250.00 and your pets has to have anesthesia. 


well, sounds like you're trying to sell something

Sounds like you're in the clear!

Sounds shady to me not to know what you're paying for.
Report to the Better Business Bureau.
No wonder you're upset! That bail sounds awfully low - sm
It sounds like he's a friend of the judge or something.

And your story illustrates the trouble with Megan's Law. It is well-intentioned, as far as it goes, but AFAIK there is no law anywhere that says _you_ must be notified when you move into a neighborhood where a child molester is living. When my daughter was 12, we moved into a house next door to a molester. He never touched her but he used to put candy in our mailbox with weird little notes attached!
Sounds like you're suffering more from job boredom than anything else.
.
It all sounds pretty okay, as long as you're not - sm
being paid by the line, but by the hour. (I assume you're currently paid per hour as an inhouse employee, right?) If you can still make your previous inhouse salary, rather than the paltry cents-per-line most at-homes make, you should be sitting pretty.

Double check and be sure the inhouse people have to maintain the same line count as you! There is no reason why at-homes should be 'penalized' with higher line counts than in-house people, especially if you're doing the same work, using the same equipment, etc.

If you're paid per-line, and it's not as much as you'd be making per-hour inhouse, what could happen is that you'll find yourself working longer hours for less money, which isn't fair. It's hard to maintain quality work when you're depressed about what you're making, or about never being able to leave the house!

Depending on your hospital's software, they may be able to clock you in and out. I worked at a place where they could see the time you started a report, and the time you sent it, but that wasn't always accurate if you were halfway through a report and then got up to use the restroom, and then had to wait in line for a stall, etc.

Even if you can't get worker's comp for getting hurt at home (though if you got something like carpal tunnel, you might be able to dispute that!), you would probably still be able to get Disability.

For the most part, it sounds like a deal that would work. You're better off being at at-home employee of an inhouse MT department than you are working for a large national. You probably already have better benefits, too.

And, at some point in the future, if you decide working at home isn't for you, you probably would have the option of going back inhouse without much change in anything, but if you left and worked elsewhere, it would not only be harder to come back if you wanted to, but they'd probably add insult to it all by offering you a lower 'starting' wage.

Good luck, and let us know how it all works out!
You're the one that sounds angry. I've made sure
If you need to stoop to that level to live, apparently the one who's made a wrong turn on the pathway of life is you.
People get angry about the prospect that they failed in life. Time to reevaluate, regroup and see why you feel so angry and take it personally when people make statements such as mine.
Sounds like you're on the right track with Weight Watchers (sm)
Do they offer counseling too? I know of two people who did Weight Watchers and they were very successful. Seems like a good, healthy program. I am not overweight myself but my sister is and, like you, has struggled with her weight her whole life. So I know at least second-hand the struggle you're going through. I think maybe if Weight Watchers doesn't offer counseling that it might be a good idea to talk to someone about your feelings and help you sort through them. Best of luck to you and try not to be too hard on yourself. Your son and your husband love you for who you are.
Get Momma's recipe while you're at it. Sounds great! nm

you OVERPAID your taxes by almost $4K? Sounds like YOU're the one who needs a better accountant.

Why? It sounds like you're assuming the generated reports contain...sm
incorrect or fabricated information. Such would not be the case in these situations.
Well your statement sounds equally closed-minded to the one you're arguing with
Where one person prefers to live and why is their own business and no reason to diss someone else's personal choice.

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?
so I did what you said, I tried hitting cancel

and it the upgrade icon just sits on my taskbar......I will never get rid of it.....so I went back and disabled all updates....until tech tells me how to handle this....


thanks for helping though!!!  *S*  Much appreciated :)


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
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

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

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!!

Did you by accident hit/click the Pay button twice? That will do that if you are not

Pry off the caps lock button.

If you have your belly button pierced, where do you buy

The "3" key speeds it back up
You have to push the transcribe button.
