I stopped sending emails and actually called my TSM. Didn't think I would get through to talk to her, but gave it a try. I asked, "why after all these years, is the dictation so bad?" I also told her that lots of blanks equal a low line count. This anyone in this field should know BY NOW. And speech rec is a farce. Anytime you are correcting darn near every other word in a report, it's just pitiful.
I hope positive changes for this field and those of us that do this work are coming soon. Yesterday wouldn't be soon enough.
