MM doesn't send speakers with their computers anymore? - dnr


Posted: Jul 19, 2012

My MQ/MM speakers, which I plug in my head phones into, quit working. The techs called me and said they no longer send speakers with the computers. Anyone, within the last 2 years or so, get speakers send with their MQ/MM computer? I was told MTs are plugging the head sets into the computer directly and using a head set with the volume dial on the head set. Is this true?

that is what I do... - do you want my old ones?

Yes, this what I do - "MTs are plugging the head sets into the computer directly and using a head set with the volume dial on the head set. Is this true?"

You can buy those Logitech headphones like MM sends at - Walmart

They have the volume dial on the cord and they cost $20.

Volume control - On site MT

I don't work at MM, but if you use a standard PC I would think that almost any speaker set up would work. The speakers I have for personal use on my PC have a port to plug in your headset and a volume control button, they're made by Creative, I think they cost about $30. At work, I use Sennheiser ear buds with a volume control button on the cord. They're actually made for I-Pod but work really well. The over the head headphones hurt my ears. Do you have to adjust your volume quite a bit? I can generally leave it at the same setting for quite a while until I get someone really soft (or really loud!)

EditScript - How To Set That So That It Doesn't Open Up Anymore With Each Document?
May 02, 2014

I've been using EditScript for less than a year.. It's been working fine for me, but I must have just hit something wrong now because with each new document that comes up, a Navigation vertical window pops up on the left side of the screen, so I need to X out of it.  It says "Navigation" at the top of the window, and below that is a "Search Document" box, etc. Can someone please tell me how to set that so that it doesn't open up anymore with each document? Thank you.   ...

Speakers Versus Headset When Working
Jan 26, 2011

Does anyone use speakers instead of headset when transcribing/editing?  I have always used a headset (been in this field for about 20 years), and the more I work, the worse the ringing becomes in my ears.  I believe it is directly related to the headset (which does not insert into my ears--got away from that one because it really made it worse).  I try to keep the volume as low as I can.  Anyone opt for using speakers instead or the headset.  Anyone have similar symptoms ...
