I downloaded SH from their website and paid for the smallest subscription fee available. When I got the activation key, they had updated the subscription the length of my old subscription.
Ex, I had 8 months left on my subscription to SH on my old computer. On the new computer, I paid for one month, and when I got my activation code, I now had a 9 month subscription on my new computer.
Then I transferred all my dictionary files to my new computer and was up and running in no time.
I have the Shorthand expansion program. Sometimes it will put a space between the first and second letters of the expansion. Not all the time, but often. Is there any way to correct this?
Thank you ...
It says it is a trail version though. Did everyone pay for their own word expander or did MModal provide it? I'm wondering why they put Shorthand on desktop and then we have to pay for it. ...
Did we all see that we are available for a $300 interest-free computer loan, for new computer, peripherals, software, etc. Did you also notice they want the RECEIPT FIRST? Now, why in God's name, once you have paid for a computer or whatever you would want a loan for them after the fact? Am I the only one confused by this? ...
I read that Medmedx supplies computers but you can only have Cable or DSL connection.
I live in an area where I cannot get cable or DSL. I have a wireless connection.
My question is, do they allow you to use our own computers?
Thanks for your time and have a great day? ...
The reason I ask this question is for my internet I have a USB modem. Do the computers supplied by Q have any extra USB ports so I can plug my Verizon in there?
Thanks! ...
I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...
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.

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. ...
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 ...

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 ...
