OK this spacing after the periods is getting to be a pain

I have always double spaced my reports when I transcribed unless the client profile told me otherwise. I have noticed most of my ASR reports are single spaced and some are double, even on the same client. What is the standard for spacing regarding ASR? Thanks guys! I couldn't get any email back on what is what! ...

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail) He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...

I am curious if anyone can offer advice. I was recently corrected for not using periods after Mr/Mrs Dr etc. In my BOS 11 it says it is correct to use/not use periods as long as consisent. However, I thought in BOS III periods were elimiated. Can anyone advise? Thanks! ...

Keystrokes pays on the 1st and the 15th. Technically they do not have to pay until Monday, Janaury 3, 2011. I was wondering, however, if maybe it was the 31st because of holiday etc. Not here last year so do not know. Thanks if anyone knows. ...

Anyone else having issues with the speech engine just randomly forgetting periods. As in, it knows the sentence has ended, has capitalized the next word or put in a paragraph carriage return, but there is no punctuation to be found. It used to be there'd be a missing one every now and again at the end of a paragraph, but this morning it's every other sentence. Happy Earth Day! ...

I just got an unfamiliar account. The ASR is only showing 1 space after periods. Am I supposed to leave it or add a space. One space is a rip-off! ...

I got assigned a new account this week - great - first week of cut in pay and now I have to deal with this yet too. I noticed someone was reading my reports today - I don't know if it was a routine audit or just because I'm new to it - whatever - the QA person made just an FYI, very nicely, that Medquist wanted 2 spaces after a period. I was under the impression that it got changed on the back end when it got sent on to the hospital somehow and it didn't matter. Why then on ...

I'm doing a psych clinic report and the doctor uses the patient's words in quotes often, and he always dictates it with the period after the quotes, which I learned is wrong, but I am wondering if the entire sentence isn't a quote, only the last part, does that still hold true, such as: The patient states he is tired, doesn't sleep and is "run down" Does the period go before or after the quotes? Thanks ...

Hi All! I just signed with Precyse and I know they will fill me in on all the details, but it's 8 at night and I was just curious about the dates of their pay periods. I know that they pay every 2 weeks. Can someone tell me the next pay date, please? Thanks! ...

I started using AutoCorrect for my expanders. The problem is when I use them followed by a period they won't work. So "t" doesn't turn into "the" just "t." They work after any other punctuation or a space. I've scoured the internet and Microsoft forums and I can't find a thing. I've tried turning off the auto-caps and that doesn't work. Help? ...

I'm having a problem when I use templates over and over, cutting and pasting. It's creating extra spaces in the documents. Has anyone else ever had this issue? ...

A lot of times when I use and expansion at the end of a line, it automatically will pull the expansion and sometimes several words before it down to the next line..Makes the spacing look terrible on my end, wondering if it fixes itself in the upload. I have checked my expansions and there are no spaces or anything in there that I can see that would cause this. ...

Have worked for a couple different MTSO's over the last few years. When copying and pasting prior reports I have typed into a new blank document, I have noticed 1 space has been removed after every period, colon, etc. Anyone else notice this? If the MTSO's are removing that 1 space, on every report, for every MT, I can't fathom how much $ that would save them in compensation payout... (over a month, over a year!); yet still charging the cl ...

Okay, got the shift differential figured out but now I am totally confused as to the pay periods start and end dates. I have an email from Cathy Jones with Nuance that says this pay period runs from 12/22 to 1/4, which I think would be correct as it is 2 weeks. My TL sent us an email this morn saying we have until 1/2 to approve our timecards and the pay period ended last night at midnight!!! What? Don't we work two weeks and then get paid???? Please explain. Also, have no ...

have been noticing over the last 3 or 4 weeks that the sytem is not consistently putting 2 spaces after periods. Used to not have to worry about this, but just one more thing to have to watch. Also having to now watch auto expansions and change them back to the accepted short form. Anyone else? Or have I just been here wayyyyyy to long? Make it a great day everyone! A lot of times y'all make mine! ...

I'm working on x-rays and this doc keeps repeating the same word the same way. It's in regards to the knee and he says - Cardia spacing well maintained. I cannot find that anywhere. Has anyone ever heard of it? ...

after the period or 2 spaces? The accounts I do have only 1 space after the period rather than the usual 2 spaces. I notice that on the final patient copy there are 2 spaces after the period.

Don't want to call support if I don't have to -- does someone know how I can make the period after a Q/A marker stay put when I key in spaces? Right now, it moves along putting the spaces in front of the period. Growl!!! ...

I just don't know what else I can do without really doing any proofreading. I never ever had this problem before. I am lucky enough to still do straight typing but the program is slow and I do have several accts in my pool which we all know is not the best way to work when you work on production. I am looking for another job and actually had 2 interviews outside of MT and I am just hoping and praying, but in the meantime I have never been so frustrated and downright angry ...
