set up a timer to signal "switch" when teaming

Here's a tip for team transcribers . . . Thanks for contributing, Laura!!

In vista and windows 7 (sorry to XP users), you can have sidebar gadgets.  I put a clock on the sidebar, and then right click and tell it I want it "always on top."

While transcribing, there is a clock we both can see, to know when to switch.  (Because that itty bitty clock in the corner of the screen doesn't work as well, because we can't both see it!)

On the top right, it's out of the way, and on the far right in the reader area, it's not covering any necessary areas!

I tested out a clock gadget, too!  It's called TimeLeft.  Set pop-up reminders for every 15 minutes and you don't have to watch the clock!!  AND get this . . . you can customize the colors!!!  (I happen to like GREEN!) 

Here's an example of a pop-up reminder placed over the TypeWell window . . .

Works with Windows 2000, XP, Vista . . . and it's FREE!!
