My boyfriend commented on my worn keyboard the other day.

or are we just so numb that we just expected it? I read that update...no 401k matches for 2009 and no approved employee merit raises for 2010. BUT we should be happy with all the other benes we are given, according to the suits. Well let's see...I have the "benefit" of watching my pay drop over the last few years. I have the "benefit" of not seeing a pay raise. I have the "benefit" of seeing NJA almost every day. I know I am not alone. Aren& ...

Am I the only one whose boyfriend/husband cannot stand us working in the house? You're chained to the computer, you want to work regular hours like everyone else in America and you cannot get away. The constant SOS's, or you have to work evenings and weekends and you don't have time for your mate. We fought all the time and now he's gone. Don't say then he wasnt worth it. But he was right about everything. they shouldn't make you work more than 8 hours a day. ...

with MQ for some 20 years now. Lately it has become harder and harder for me to focus on my job. I really try, but it has just become so depressing. I focus better when I could do straight transcription, but that is just a past that will never come again. Does anyone have suggestions? I cannot stay on target for more than an hour now. Get so sleepy and zoned out, I HAVE to get up and do a power cat nappy.... Oh, yet ag ...

I just finished up the week, and no I am not doing any of their OT either. After today, I just was so fed up with the accounts I was getting. The sound quality was just horrible. I don't understand this company at all. Why do they insist on causing such grief to their employees. After today, my nerves were just shot after pulling report after report with horrendous sound quality. I am literally counting the days to get out of their clutches. Like ...

I've been looking for a part-time at-home medical transcriptionist job and there seem to be hardly any part-time at-home jobs, they all seem to require acute care hospital experience that I don't have, and have required very odd hours. I do have 13 years of clinic experience. I feel like giving up on medical transcription and doing something else. I also have secretarial/office experience and I am looking part-time for that also, but it's been very difficult.&nbs ...

I was wondering if someone could tell me how using a wave keyboard compares to a split ergonomic keyboard. Is the wave as comfortable to use? TIA! ...

Microsoft has discontinued these great keyboards and I need a new one. Anybody aware of a split keyboard that has a really nice touch (remember those old IBM keyboards?) for transcription work by Microsoft or another brand that you really like? I'm open for suggestions please ; 0 My only complaint with this one is the keys are a bit clunky to press down (especially the space bar). Thanks! ...

... the TypeMatrix (see link at bottom) If so (or otherwise) anyone using the Dvorak key layout? Actually I was just trying to search for fast keyboards (as it seems like my keyboard is slow to react), and came across info on this. Aside from the initial question, any tips on a regular keyboard with fast reaction and highlighting ability appreciated as well. (I prefer an uncurved keyboard that isn't real large though.) Thanks for any info you can give me! ...

Hi! Wondering what keyboards everyone uses. I currently have the logitech wave but think it is suffering a slow death and will be needing to purchase a new one soon. Any recommendations? Thanks! ...

I am going to be looking for a new keyboard. I see most of you seem to like the split keyboard. When I tried that at one time I couldn't get used to the 6 being on the wrong side of the keyboard (I use my right hand for it), for one thing. Is this something you just get used to or do you all not have that problem to begin with? Does anyone have an ergonomic keyboard that is not split that they like? ...

Hello all, I am in need of a new keyboard. I am using a Goldtouch now but the keyboard configuration does not really work for me, specifically the cntl, alt, and windows keys, as well as the home key. I hit the wrong keys frequently, too much, and it hurts my production. I do like the "touch" of it though. I would like something that feels the same, a little bit spongy but not sticky. Any suggestions. TIA. ...

Hello, I am using a Microsoft split keyboard that is just about worn out and would like to know what most of you are using now. After using a split keyboard I do not think I could go back to a regular keyboard. Also, I keep the keyboard slanted to the left slightly which is more comfortable for me, probably because I am left-handed, but it does make to getting to some of the keys on my right hand a little difficult. Anyhow, just curious to see what most of you are using now. Thanks. ...

Is anyone else having problems with their keyboard not working properly and sticking when in DocQScribe? I changed the batteries in my keyboard but that didn't help. This is an on and off problem in the past few days and I can't figure out if it's my keyboard, my computer, or DocQScribe. ...

For those of you who are experienced with VR, do you use the footpedal to control the audio or the keyboard. I am new to this. I am used to using the footpedal but have heard from a couple of others that using the keyboard to control audio seems to be faster for them. I would like some opinions please. Also, maybe you could tell me how long your learning curve was. How long did it take to get your speed up to the point that you were making what you could make trans ...

I am using a keyboard that I really like but over time, the keys are getting harder to hit and seem to be "sticking" somewhat I was going to buy another one but I can't find one just like the one I have already.

I'm trying to stockpile a 2-year supply (wishful thinking?) of Memorex TS1100 keyboards. I don't think they are being made any more, so I find them on eBay. I use them untill all the print is off the letter keys, all the plastic is gone from several of the letters leaving the metal exposed, there is a piece missing on the space bar where my right thumb goes, and then I dump them. Do you think I should them longer than this. I've only ever had one STOP working (I ...
