can a KVM type switch be used ONLY for the keyboard?

I have a REALLY old, loud COMPAQ keyboard. I am going to buy a new one soon. What are the best kinds for transcription? With mine, you really have to punch down on the keys, and I know that a lot of the newer ones are much easier to press. Any ideas? ...

Cuz the letters are worn off! I need letters on my keyboard like a Nascar driver needs turn signals. ...

Does anyone have an idea of a good keyboard that is fast to type on? I have a few. One is an old Dell that is awkward and the other is a new Dell that is also awkward because the keys are so flat and touchy. Is there one out there that anyone prefers? ...

Any suggestions as to a comfortable wireless keyboard to use with my laptop? Currently using a logitech ergonomic keyboard but the keys seem a little sharp around the edges to me. Thank you! ...

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! ...

Does anyone use one of these and have tips on a good one, or even a bad one to avoid? I think I will invest in one and have been reading online reviews. It seems a lot of them have little quirks that may be annoying....... ...

My previous employer provided my computer and all the software. I'm thinking about trying independent contracting since most of the jobs I've seen require your own equipment anyway, but how do you know what equipment to get? Each company seems to have their own preferences. I'd like to have what would work across the board if I need to work on several accounts. I've read about using a different tax form too, but can anyone tell me what else I would nee ...

Does anyone know when the VR switch over for hospitals and clinics has to take place? I was just laid off from my job due to it going to VR. I was told 2014 but wondered if anyone had specifics. Thanks! ...

I am sweating this out, as everyone else has, and it is not working for me. The rules are too vague, the training insufficient, and I am struggling with doing whatever I can to get through the report and trying to correct "correctly" - whatever way that really is, there is no explanation. I don't know when to use F11. I gave ASR a 4-month try 4-5 (?) years ago when it first was implemented, and see similar non-recognition issues, similar heading issues, and probably I am ...

I don't know too much about KVM switches, but I am getting ready to start two new jobs and have two different computers. I thought I might try one. Today, my foot pedal for my second job came in and low and behold, it is the same one for my first job. Do any of you know if there is a KVM that will switch keyboard, video, monitor, headphones, AND foot pedal, and can you recommend one to me. I'm trying to research, but all this techie jargon makes my head hurt an ...

would be really nice if we didnt have to use the "dep" to search and not be allowed to be signed into the other one without that at the same time..Never used to be like that it is really annoying..They say check samples, well you check samples and there are none,in the meantime it kicks you out of the other and when you sign back into it it doesnt save your information so you start from scratch and they wonder why we have so much inactive time... ...

Something to consider before you invest in training. Not saying don't do it, just be aware that you're not guaranteed a job when you graduate. http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/14/news/economy/nursing-jobs-new-grads/index.html?iid=HP_LN&hpt=hp_t2 ...

Hi, I have an opportunity to switch accounts and work with new manager and team. Premise is works better with schedule, less out of work situations. Anybody familiar with CCMH and the supervisor there? Just want to know work statuses and things like that before I switch. Any feedback would be great. Thanks! ...

Well folks, email today regarding yet another MQ program- Account Trustee- those of us with good quality scores have the HONOR of sending reports directly through to the client with 2 blanks or less, thus bypassing QA. Instead of addressing the issue WHY QA is so backlogged (could it be because so many QA were underpaid and have left) this is the new decision. ...

So disillusioned. The company I loved for so long has turned into greedy liars. Who in the MTSO world is still decent? ...

I have always transcribed either from a C-phone, tapes, or worked for a national that had their own dictation platform. My local account wants to switch from tapes to something similar to Emdat and wants my advice. He has very little dictation and just needs something that he can dictate from any phone, where I can access it from home. Obviously, I'm not up to speed on new technology so any friendly advice would be helpful. Thank you! ...

Yesterday I had someone fix 2 computers with a KVM switch to share the monitor and keyboard... I know someone on here has this situation too, How do you shut if down or turn it off... I did shut one down, but then could not get to the other with tapping the button twice as I do to switch between them... Thanks in advance for any help... ...

Lately I have not been able to stay on the same account more than 2 days in a row. Since my primary that I was on for 6 years went VR and I did not go with it, I have been switched from one account to another to another. They say my work is great but I do not like being a floater. I did not mind at first because at least I still had a job; however, this does have negative consequences on my income since I have to constantly learn new specifics and docs, etc. I am beg ...

Hi, all, Remember the most recent ad that BabbleType placed here at MTStars? They were practically pleading with MTs and QAs to contact them and clear out their huge back log (tens of thousands of audio files they said). There was no mention of an exam; just contact them and request an assignment. If you need training to be a QA editor, no problem -- just ask, and they would provide training. Blah, blah, blah. The direct quote in the ad was this:&nbs ...

Tested for iMedX and passed the below Surgical job they had posted: Specialty: Surgery Job Description: Current openings for OPs (ambulatory surgery/multiple specialties) accounts as IC (Independent Contractor). Must have approximately 5 years of experience in acute care/hospital transcription. Coverage is needed 7 days. Okay....even though this job is STILL posted on another MT site they are telling me they are putting it on HOLD for a few more weeks and posting another add for a nu ...

What type of careers are any one of you who are leaving MT or who are former MTs are retraining for? I'm very undecided. I'm not too crazy about being in school a long time or least longer than 1-1/2 to 2 years. I thought about coding but heard that that field is changing too like MT. I would like to stay in the medical field but I'm not sure about the degree of direct patient contact I want. I thought about radiology technician but not really sure. Any ideas to at least all ...

I want to switch from MT to coding sooner rather than later but the problem is funds. It is so frustrating to barely make ends meet and have more month than money at times. Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks for listening. ...

Think someone here gave me the name of a gizmo I could use to toggle between 2 computers using the same keyboard and monitor but cannot remember the name. Anyone here know? Thanks. ...

Hi all, I've been an MT for the past 5 years and am sitting for the CPC next month to switch to coding. Who will hire me as a CPC-A? Does anyone know a good online company to work for that they're willing to tell about? :) Thanks. ...

My two docs, whom I have typed for 6 years, are considering going to digital dictation from tapes. I told them I would look into it and need some advice. I can't seem to find how to search the archives on this new board...can some of you offer me some names of transcription platforms that I can check out? I would be most appreciative.... ...
