I'll sure be no help there, I must admit, but i can offer encouragement, and I know you seem talented in your job, and I don't see a lot of errors coming from you typing. I am sorry they are making it so difficult when you have done it a certain way and then they start transferring you to another way. I wouldn't want to change how I did htings after 38 years either, and I have never understood the rampant need for pictures to describe everything, and when sighted people are working, they really don't like all those pictures covering the scren anymore than we do At least, that's what my boyfriend says.

Very discouraged at this point, it isn’t my MT knowledge that is holding me back it is their stuff and so far about 50% has been inaccessible. They sent me a document so full of pictures that I could not even print and then scan it back in and the lady said she had to “actually type the document” so I could read the instructions. Made me chuckle, it was not that long and typing it probably took a matter of a minute, provided she could read through the pictures, that is. Never having seen, I can’t understand why someone would put pictures over words as it was described to me. Even the Optacon would have had trouble had I tried to use it. I guess since it sounds confusing to me, I don’t see how someone with good vision would make sense of it. Then what do I know. Week to go and I feel as ready for this transition as I felt on my first day at the hospital using a MagCard typewriter a Lanier tank system with one take that was always getting off track. One report, a discharge summary by an OB-GYN I only understood the “thank you” at the end of the report. Then you have family who talked me into a custom-made desk, brought it and unloaded a shelving unit that was about 40 years old which had paper and other stuff in it but they used the large empty boxes I had been saving to unload my desk in the hospital and when I said those were for my office, they said they put my office stuff in them. LOL, now I have to find more boxes in less than six days. If it can go wrong lately it will. I want to dig a hole, climb in, and pull it in after me; this whole transition thing makes me feel really dumb.

There is a place called www.hartgenconsultancy.com which makes a program that works JAWS and Dragon together so that it does give feedback. I have heard mixed reviews on the product, but the demonstration seems like it works. i am not certain how well it all works, but it's good enough. Someone converted a dictionary into text files which I put on my braille sense, and they are done by letter. I doubt you'd even need such a thing, but I have it if you need or want it. I am getting all my textbooks converted right now into smaller files because they are too large, and when I try to open them, they just gum up the computer or notetaker that I am using.

How well does that work with JAWS, might be an easy to increase line counts if I could be sure it would work.

Which company are you now working for? I know we corresponded, but honestly with the meds I myself was on at the time, I was no good. Think I'll do better with a clearer mind and more help from rehab when I ask for it. i'll try that IPhone reference. I mostly use braille with my IPhone and have a display for computer and the IPhone so it's lovely.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eden Kizer Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2015 3:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: medical transcription reference material I attempted to do this years ago, but I just was not in a state of being where I could totally commit to learning transcription, but now that I am, one of the things I was wondering about is has having IPhones made some of the reference materials more accessible? Of course, one can go simply go online, but when you are transcribing, I would imagine it would seem easier to be able to look up something quickly on your phone without googling something. I was just wondering if any medical transcriptionists were on the list, and are you using any IPhone apps or other types of references like this? I use Windows for my computer, but like i said, I thought this might help keep the computer less cluttered while transcribing. A lot of the compter reference materials seem to be hogs.
