Question on computers - fozzie
Posted: Jun 04, 2010How many MT's work with more than one computer?
I have a laptop for backup or travel - Otherwise just the one main PC

My laptop has everything loaded, just as my PC does.
I use my desktop PC for work and personal.

I have two; one is supplied by TT, my primary employer, and the other is our own personal PC that I use for IC work and movie watching and Ebaying and all that fun stuff :-).
I've been debating getting a laptop though at some point since eScription is easy to download so I can work while my hubby and I travel a little bit.

? Re Computers Mar 17, 2011Hi, I was wondering if anyone could assist me in a little project I'm working on. I'm compiling a list for someone of the companies that provide you with a computer for doing transcription on.
Not asking anybody to do the work for me, but if you would like to share the name of a company who does this, I'd appreciate the info.
Thanks and have a great day.

Not To Smart With Computers Jan 08, 2011Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight. Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small. It is worse than with my smaller screen. I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc. Any suggestions? Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...
Laptop Computers Feb 06, 2011Just wondering if anybody who uses their own computer to do MT uses a laptop? I've had some problems with my computer and now need to take it in for repairs again, and I was considering getting a laptop as a backup so that I would still be able to work while my desk top computer is out of service. Any advice on what type of laptop to get? Thanks much. ...
For Those Whose MQ Computers Are Slowed By Apr 17, 2011(Moderator - please do not move to tech forum as this is a Medquist problem with Kapersky anti-virus program)
I spent several hours this past week trying to install Kapersky, and it would not install, so I called tech support and ended up escalating the problem to "Systems Administrator." She called back and remotely went into my MQ computer and installed the program.
While I was on the phone with her, I told her that others were having a problem with Kapersky slowing down ...

DQS, etc? I was hoping to use my own computer, which is a much more powerful computer than this outdate POS I have from MQ; I think it's the reason I have so many probs in DQS--the worst being the lag in typing....I have to constantly wait for what I have typed to "catch up" with me.......so annoying. Not to mention takes forever to upload a job, etc.
But wondering if we are tec ...

I Am So Sick Of Computers! Oct 27, 2011I know all the techies out there will say I must "get with the times", but I absolutely hate computers! It isn't enough that you have to learn a new platform for each and every company you work for, but they think you should know all the regular "computer stuff" as well. I don't use my computer for anything except work, email, and to look things up because I don't want to-- but everybody expects you to be a computer expert today, like it or not. If they didn' ...

Fiesa And XP Computers, Etc Apr 04, 2014Everyone acts like it's all something new not to be provided a computer. As a former recruiter, let me tell you that 98% of equipment sent out was not returned and this very expensive for any company. It's not Nuance's fault XP will no longer be protected. There is no reason to go in debt for a new computer when you can easily buy one for less than 200, and remember it's all tax deductible and they have the loan plan if you meet the qualifications.
Fiesa is ...

Changing Computers Question Jun 11, 2010I just started a new job. All the software got put on my computer remotely, and it took a long time.
My computer is slow, and I want to get a new one in about 3 months. Do companies hate it if you change computers? It seem like they would be put out by spending another 2-3 hours putting the software on my computer. I know every company is different though.

Moving Lengthy Autocorrects Between Computers Jul 23, 2011I have run into this problem every time I have to switch to a new/different computer. In Office 2003 I save autocorrect entires with the first four initials of the docs last name containing their usual physical exam spiel or sometimes a sample of their entire report. There seems to be no limit to how many autocorrects can be saved or how long the save can be. The problem comes when trying to move them to a new computer.
