Frustrated with eScription platform! - Can anyone help? - see msg


Posted: Jan 25, 2015

Is there any way to easily get capitals to change when you add or remove a period? It's so frustrating when, for example, when you take a period out and the next word doesn't automatically capitalize like it does in a lot of other platforms.  Word macros don't seem to work.  : (

 

Not that I could figure out - SM

I don't see what is so great about that platform either. I remember, though, that it was not like that on every account, so it is possible that it's something they have to fix internally, which of course they never will.

There are a series of keys, maybe alt shift . or ctrl alt . I can't remember, but that will automatically add the 2 spaces and cap the next word, but I never found a way to fix it when you take periods out. They periodically send out info about those tricks. Ask them.

Try this. - sm

Highlight the period (I use shift+ left arrow). ALT+. will insert a period, space and capitalize.

I do know about the ALT + but was hoping - there was a way to do the

opposite--capitalize that next word when you remove a period, which seems to happen often...
Oh well.

My TSM only answers emails when it's something like I'm saying I can't work or saying I can work OT (which I don't do anymore). If it's a questions like this, she ignores. EVEN though she always ends her emails with, "let me know if there is anything I can help you with"

Pretty sure it's Ctrl . IF not it's Alt . It works with - the colon also. -nm

So Frustrated
Jun 06, 2012

I am just venting. I took a position with a company a few months ago as a secondary income and the platform and dictators are great - very easy to make good money. The problem is there's not enough work to hit my daily line counts and when I ask for more, I kind of get the brush off. It baffles me because there are other accounts in which they have work and they have even needed to post job openings and yet, I sit with no work. I also find it suspect that when I do ask for more work the ...

I am feeling rather frustrated and need to vent... Over the last month or so I have been actively pursuing other employment in the MT field. I realize the pickins are slim and the grass is NOT GREENER on the other side, so to speak, but it is what it is and this is the field I am in and need to be in while my kids still need me at home....  However, I am an experienced MT (14+ years experience)... while I understand a company wanting you to test, I do not understand these lengthy 2-hour lo ...

Since medical transcription is really the only legitimate work you can do from home, I decided to go that route. I was amazed at the schooling and surprised at how well I did. I thought for sure, being an older student and out of the education loop for a while that I wouldn't do well. But I surprised myself. I real ...
