I am on a report where the dictator keeps saying what sounds like sub-5. He is very clearly talking about an ulceration on the fifth toe. I've not heard this term before, maybe it is being shortened. How do I transcribe this? Please help if you can. I've googled this and can't verify it. Thank you. ...

I am taking a test for a company and have gotten as far as taking the transcription portion. I downloaded their file (pedalplugin-win) but whenever I lift my foot off play, the tape rewinds to beginning. I cannot rewind or FF and autoplay to 0 isn't registering. Can anyone suggest what I could do to? Thanks!!!! I have 4 hours to complete test. ...

It actually sounds more like "ulcer debrided in a s/l dermolating manner," but I have no idea. This doc often slurs, mixes words and makes up words, so I'm clueless here. This is for a wound care doc in an ortho clinic. Does demyelinating manner make any sense? Thanks!! ...

This is a pt with OA/DDD/DJD and the dr is giving the results of the x-rays. "Right foot - s/l (accessory ossal cool with hypertrophic) changes. Left foot - OA." She runs the whole thing together so I'm not sure where the words separate and I have no idea what to look up. Does anyone have any ideas? ...

After 13 years of being an MT, I am beginning to see a way out. I've always had an interest in being a writer, and dabbled a little, but it's hard to make a living that way. But then again, so is transcription. I figure the world of writing and publishing can't possibly be any more stressful, and its a lot more fun (and I can listen to music while I do it ). After a year of moonlighting, I just had a book of true short stories published (I was an editor and a co ...

Hello. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on the best footpedal to buy. I am just getting back into transcription after being away from it for several years and I am not very technologically bright :-) I don't have any clients yet but I would like to have a wave pedal or foot pedal ready for whenever I do find a client. What would be the kind that would be the most versatile and go with most platforms/systems? I have Windows Vista. Any advice ...

Does anyone else have issues with the DVI-INF foot pedals using the USB adapter? I can push the pedal and nothing happens. The file will not play. It often will to the 1 second step-back, but does not play after that. So, I'm here pressing the pedal 4-5 times getting it stepped back 4-5 seconds before it'll finally play. It's driving me crazy! I'd like to know if this is a common problem with this pedal/system or if it's just me having ...

I'm over testing for the Q on their test site and thought I had installed my foot pedal but it's not working. Does anyone know how to use your foot pedal on the test rather than that silly F1 function key to start and stop the audio? I'm afraid I'll be here all night getting 5-6 words at a time with the "hand" method as opposed to the "foot" method, LOL! Any suggestions greatly appreciated...Grazi! ...

I've got a USB-2 foot pedal here, brand new from Martel Direct, as part of an all-in-1 kit. Some job listings specify a USB-1 foot pedal; others just say USB foot pedal. Is there a huge difference between the 1 and the 2 versions? ...

I was just wondering, reading the job ads, if it would be considered offensive to the experienced MT for ads for employment to state: No senior or experienced MT's over 5 years need apply! Ok, sure it is hypothetically a stupid question but, even though no experienced MT will answer it honestly, still makes a point. No matter what, if every job you looked at AUTOMATICALLY knocked you out of the water because the company preferred newer, younger, fresher, more trainable, less set in their ...
