diabetes mellitus (cap or not?) type 2.
Is the word "type" capped?
thanks
Diabetes mellitus
I have never seen the portion that you are referring to capitalized before. I have only seen the word type in lowercase format.
do not cap diabetes mellitus
..
OP wasn't asking about caps in diabetes mellitus
rather asked about if the word *type* after diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2) is initial capped. *S*
If you currently type in word, then do a word count
then I really can be of no help. Usually when trying to get an idea of a line count with spaces and without spaces, you can use this method. Some people have actual line counting software. I, however, do not, so I am not much help in that regard. Hope this helps at least a little.
Please make sure to ask word questions on the Word Help board. There are
people who specifically answer questions there.
that is rude of you to type that.
I'm sure that is why you did not post a screen name. Worried people may start screening your typos too.
If you don't absolutely know it, don't type it.
Blank it. Don't just type what you hear. Know what you are typing.
average MT can type 200 LPH...but...nm
With these new online programs, post DOS programs where we really cleaned up, that has dropped for some to between 130-175 LPH....A great MT should be able (pre online programs I do believe, my opinion only) to type nearly 2000 lines in an 8-hour period or 10-hour period. If I could do that on DOS programs, anyone could, and privately I still work on a faithful DOS program and for 10 years.
Decades of typing pre MT work helped and then 25 years of doing MT work is what makes some of us pros.
Go to rxlist.com and type in what
it sounds like to you. They will have a list come up with any drugs that s/l what you typed in and it lists what they are for and generic names if appropriate. If you can't hear but the ending of a drug - for example "illin" is all you can make out type in *illin and it will list all drugs with that ending and maybe you can figure out the rest that way. If ever in question never guess on meds.
A lot of times new drugs may not be on rxlist, in which case you have to google, but be sure you have a reliable source as there is a lot of garbage and misinformation on google.
I have Quick Look on my computer and it is very helpful. There are so many drugs, some you will have frequently and some that you may have once a year or so, and then new drugs are added all the time.
You'll get better with practice, but you'll have to do a lot of looking up in the meantime.
When I go to the drugstore I walk up and down the aisles and look at products on the shelf. At the pharmacy if I am able to see meds from the counter I look at the names. New meds usually have ads in magazines and on TV and I make notes about them.
Check out the All Type ad
They may consider you.
type 2 is correct, no caps

What type of education did you get? What did you study?
??
Please don't type in all caps, it comes across as yelling. (SM)
You might get more responses if you downplay the tone a bit by that one simple change.

Their website looks like a school of some type. sm
Were you offered a job, or are they trying to sell you a training course in MT? If the latter, I wouldn't take it. I don't see anything on their website about hiring transcriptionists.
I'm like you, type, then go back and relisten. I used to just
read but kept falling asleep. I just turn the speed up several notches and relisten and it isn't so bad. I actually am sometimes able to get a blank with the speed up that I couldn't when I played it several times at regular speed.
what type of reports are you typing?
I do alot of psyche and some of my reports range from 150-450 lines per report. So when you look at it like that it is not bad. On the other had if you are doing radiology that would be totally different. Again some of mines average from 15-30 lines. That is with a 65 character line.
It depends on what type of work (sm)
you intend to do. I would personally choose Multispecialty. You will learn the most there as far as variety and that will be a good base for you moving forward. Radiology is also good, but if you go that route you will limit yourself in terms of what jobs you can apply for. So, it might possibly be easier now for testing purposes, but it could cost you later on.
Freedom Type? Information?
Does anybody know anything about Freedom Type? Is it a good place to work, pay well, give newbies a chance, etc.? Let me know. Thanks.
Type, obviously, not taype, but at least it's just a TYPO. nm

A specialty usually refers to the type of dictation
For example, cardiology, neurology, GI, hem/onc..... I have seen where some MTs just transcribe ER or just OPs, so I guess that application you filled out is strictly acute care and are looking for actually your preference amongst those particular choices.
It depends on what type of General Transcription
Focus groups can be hard because there are multiple speakers, speakings talking over one another, background noise, etc. Some is just one person speaking which can be very easy. I once did a motivational speaker. The pay is usually by audio hour. The best thing I like about general transcription is that a lot of companies don't have production requirments. There are a couple companies that if they have work for you, they'll ask you if you can do it and if you can't that's fine. I guess it's whether you like that type of work better than MT. Also, when doing focus groups some are specialized and there's another whole type of terminology to learn which can be just has hard.
LMAO, thanks everyone for your comments, maybe we type too fast and are not looking at the screen,LO
Or maybe we just like to irritate the ol MT's with spelling mistakes. LOL
Easy or not will depend totally on the type of dictators

First of all, there are so many variables...work type, formatting, platform, etc. SM
It is possible to make that kind of money, but I would not expect that for a long, long time. Making money depends macros, focus, work type, pay for lph, not having to look things up (for me its drugs), stuff like that, but most of all be persistent. I have never made $40,000, but I know people who do.
Short for waveform.....type of sound file.

it is a type of internet connection faster than dialup but still uses a phone line
but you can use your phone and be online at the same time.
Just type what you hear. Lots of things are repeated in differnent notes.

Usually the type of software - eScription, ExText, ChartScript, Crescendo, Fusion,

Microsoft Word/Microsoft Word 2003 are the same
MS Word 2007 is an upgrade. Are you sure that you don't have it installed on your PC? I don't know if that helps...good luck, and please don't pull your hair out, it comes out with age (lol)
Word
When I have to copy and paste admission notes, for example, and then have to reformat the whole page, all the BOLD HEADINGS become BOLD HEADINGS. Then I have to go back and re-bold them all. Is there a fast way to jump between headings, besides just scrolling?
Just go to the Word help
section of this website. It's wonderful!! I've been in the business five years and still use it quite, quite often.
word help
How do I use word help? Do I have to pay any money? Do I have to be signed up with anything? How long does it take for me to get an answer. Thanks everyone.
Need help with a word.
the word is in regard to a type of incison for laparoscopic hernia surgery. No mesh was necessary. Sounds like lachsimen incision was made and there was no tension.
One word...E-bay.
You can find most of the books you would need on E-bay. If not, Amazon.com has a used book section that will save you some money. Also, you can buy directly from Stedman's and sometimes find discounts of their word books.
Pay by the word
I work for a company that pays me .02 cents per word. It is for a research company and it brings me in a nice sized paycheck. It's definitely a fair price I feel. Hope this helps.
I am sure she will take your word for that.
word help
I need some help with this transcription. It reads Patient was on a cruise recently and she traveled in an airplane about 10 days ago and ear pressure persists and the patient denies any hearing loss. No ________, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting.
Can anyone help???
Word help
Hi,
Has anyone heard of Officebestdeals.com? They are advertising Microsoft word 2003 for 11.95. So cheap!! Kind of hesitant. Any information on that would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Look up the word slander, Lin. SM
One would think someone so focused on quality would know the proper term, or at least know how to consult a dictionary.

stuck on a word
Hello. Is there a site that I can ask other MTs a question if I am stuck on a word or medication? Thanks for all your help.
The operative word being SOME...but not very many
I did not come across one company in my extensive search for employment that began before I graduated from Community College that stated they would not let me test because I didn't go to one of the "top 3". In fact, most companies have links to their testing on their websites. Those that don't will send you an email with the proper links for testing purposes. To keep stating that the "top 3" schools are the be all and end all to successfully obtaining employment in this field is just plain wrong. I was hired before I even finished school. It depends on the determination of the person. Two different people can come out of the same MT program and one can be an excellent MT while the other can be absolutely horrible. Being a graduate of the "top 3" has nothing to do with it.
Might want to post on Word Help

Word Expander

try on Word board

Its probably your system, not Word
There is a time delay because your puter probably isn't keeping up with you. Clean out your computer and run a disk defrag. That should help.
The word - newbie. sm
Does that word sit wrong with other people? I'm not new to the MT business but when I see that word it just makes me cringe. It is so commonly used in this industry and, to me, comes across as demeaning when we all are fighting so hard to gain some respect in this business.
Just my gripe! 
Have a great day.
Yes, same with me, a word is/was considered - sm
5 characters, so 13 x 5 = 65; I would of course confirm this with the prospective employer though before agreeing to anything. If it 65 then that is the norm and acceptable; unless they are offering dirt for pay.
Anything with the word International in it is a big

What is the best Expander out there?
