A USB foot pedal would be good to have. You can download Express Scribe for free to take tests. nm

Express scribe
Shoot.   If it's not loading the files into the program, then I'm not sure why it's not working.  Sorry.  I don't know what else would work.
Express scribe

Express scribe does play DSS files - you just have to change the settings, as they are not one of the standard files it is set up to play.   When you're in express scribe, go into settings at the very top, and then go over to the Files tab.  This gives you options of the different types of files that you can get it to play.  Check DSS and then it should work for you.


re: Express Scribe
First you have to know what kind of foot pedal you have, it is either a USB port or a COM I or COM II 9 pin. The USB just plugs in where the 9 pin needs to be screwed into the back of your computer. Then after you get ES downloaded, click on settings, then go to pedal and hot key settings. Then click on the kind of foot pedal you have and then do the foot pedal wizard. It'll have you press the pedals and if it responds you have it set! God bless!~
EXPRESS SCRIBE...HELP!
I am so irritated, my computer and everything on it screwed up today, so I erased and downloaded express scribe, and I can't remember what my settings were on..I know now when I try to rewind it doesn't go back as far enough as I need it to, and I Have no clue on how to make it.  I have the speeds on 1000, all of them.
Express Scribe

Can anyone shed some light on Express Scribe.  I was looking to purchase for me to use along with the 3 part time girls I have working for me.  What is the cost, but more importantly what special equipment do I or the doctors need.  Any replies would be greatly appreciated.  I have a call into the company as well.


THANK YOU!!


Express Scribe is not the only software. nm

I have express scribe that I play wav files from my other job on
c
express scribe is not a tape transcriber. SM

If you are working with cassette tapes, you need something to play them on.  You cannot just upload them to a computer.  You can input them to your computer via a transcribing machine. 


Express Scribe is a digital sound player.  It plays voice files that are already digitized. 


For testing I needed software that I could download free

but I could not get the footpedal to work.  Anybody have experience with this?  I downloaded Express Scribe to listen to the dictation.


Thanks in advance.


There is a free version of Express Delegate
http://www.nch.com.au/delegate/index.html

I don't use it, but there is lots of information on their website. Perhaps you can contact the company for any answers not found on there.
There are positions where you can either download

work and work off-line or you work on-line and type directly into the company system or the hospital system.  If you are an independent contractor you can set your own hours.  There are some companies that have a 24-hour TAT.


You need to have schooling and/or training before you get to that point and that takes about 18 months or more.  There are some companies that won't allow offshore MTs, so even if an American that might limit your choices. 


Stedman's is the best. You can download from their website or
order the CD. 
Try Med-Scribe (Utah) or Princeton?

MED-Scribe, Inc. (Utah) -- they don't have a website, but email Teri Mortensen teri@med-scribeinc.com about questions/openings.


Princeton Transcription, Inc has a website you can find by Google and I know they have one psych account.


Good luck.

I did this and it did not work.  I uninstalled and reinstalled and did this about 10-15 times
Express Delegate

Does anyone have their own home-based company and use the  Express Delegate system?  If so, could you please supply some information on what it required to set it up and what comes in the package?  Thank You!!


for free
Don't worry, before long, you ALL will be doing it for free! I mean come on, they already pay MTs like they are tomato pickers or putting soles on shoes! If you work for nothing, then 2 cents or 3 cents a line is going to sound good to you and believe me, it will come to that. WHAT CAN'T YOU AND OTHERS RESPECT YOURSELVES AS HUMAN BEINGS WITH BRAINS AND WORK A NORMAL AMOUNT OF HOURS FOR A REGULAR PAYCHECK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD!? There are so many transcribers I have heard carry on about how much money they make -- ask them, how long they actually are working and what they are paid and you will see the true picture.
free books
Am definitely interested in your free books, just get them weighed at the post office and let me know what media mail rate will be, also be sure to include the cost of whatever packaging you need to use.

Thanks for the generous offer.

AutoHotkey is free (sm)
http://www.autohotkey.com

You can use it to create macros to shorten common tasks or use it as an expander.
Work for free
I would be willing to work for free or intern for a company that would give me practical experience, especially if they would consider me for a paid position once I have gotten my feet wet. I would much rather spend 8 months doing real work than just going through a formal program if possible.

Thanks for your response!
Check this out, it's free!
The page numbers don't match, but you should be able to find what you're looking for.

thank you
So it changed from $99 for software that is free - sm
To $79 for a foot pedal? I bought my foot pedal on my own and so can anyone else. Why do they need to give the money directly to you?
You are working for free?! That would be the the problem I would think. SM

Why would a company advance you to paid status if they are able to get you to do the work for free.  You should get paid for your time and knowledge.  I am new also, only on my second week working, and on full QA.  I am getting paid, as you should be also!  My advise would be, quit now, put this 'internship' as professional experience on your resume, and begin looking for a new PAYING job! 


Where you are at now they very well may never intend to advance you to paid status.  I'm willing to bet the company IS getting paid for these reports that you are doing the work on. 


Remember to check into any company that is offering you a job.  Unfortunately there are crooked companies and people out there.  Best of luck to you!


 


 


Shorthand will give you a free 30
day trial to try it out. After 30 days, if you choose to buy it, it'll cost about $100.00. It's pretty good.

Good luck.
Free books...you pay shipping.

You can still get a VISTA-free computer
from Tiger Direct if you ask. At least I got one not too long ago.
I am willing to do transcription for free...please read why!

I will be graduating shortly. I understand how hard it is to get a job in this field without experience. I know that 2 years is preferred but I also figure that some is better than none. I have been doing free transcription work for free in return for a letter stating I did work for you. I will only be doing this for a short time so take advantage of this offer! This would be a great opportunity for any ICs that have an abundance of work right now but do not want to hire anybody, or if you just want to lower your workload for a short amount of time. Let me help you...so it can help me! This is a serious offer! Serious inquiries only!


BTW, if you are going to comment just to be rude or insulting, please don't comment at all. We all have to start somewhere.


Nevermind found what I needed for free!

Many company websites will let anybody try their test for free.
Why not try a few company website tests and see how you feel after that.

And I think the comment about mastering things was a result of another poster's mispelling of English terms such as there/their and your/you're. Some MTs tend to think the way a poster spells on an MT board says something about their mastery of the English language.
MTStars FlashType has a free demo and if you like it, it is
EXTREMELY reasonably priced as compared to others on the market. It works like pretty much like PC Shorthand, but is more cost effective.  See the link below.
There are several free typing sites online.
goodtyping.com is one of them I know. It uses a series of typing tests to improve on quality and speed. It helped me.
We can discuss this via email if you would like but the software was never free. nm

The best thing for you to do is post your resume on the various free

job boards.  There are companies that will hire from the resumes and don't post openings.  Unless you went to one of the better schools you probably don't stand much of a chance of getting an at home position.  Even if you did go to one of the better schools it may be difficult to find an at home position.   There are companies that will hire newbies and pay them almost nothing, there are companies that offer mentoring programs that may or may not pay you anything and some may even cost you.  There are companies that may offer you a position and then say you have to buy equipment/software from them first.  These are probably not legitimate companies and you need to stay away from them.  


Most companies want 2 years of experience, though there are exceptions.  Your best bet would be to look through your local classifieds and see if you can find a position in a physician's office or a hospital.

Know of a free trial Med. Spell Check?

I'm looking for a temporary med. spell checker. I hope to purchase Stedman's soon, but right now I need a decent spell check for employment testing!


Thanks!
