Documed - horrible test recording - pt


Posted: Feb 28, 2011

I tried to listen to the file provided for an orthopedic test for a job with Documed.  It was a horrible recording.  Forget this!

Agree it was bad audio - sm

But not untranscribable. I was able to complete it with two blanks in the last paragraph.

Searching Archives on this company, however, has made me leery of working for them. I don't cotton well to paycheck issues.

Seems to be a pattern; the worst test dictations seem to be for companies that have private schools - Bait and Switch

There seems to be a pattern here.  Have you noticed that the worst test dictations are for the companies that have in-company schools?  You think you are applying for a job, but the dictation is so bad, you start to doubt yourself, and then they tell you that you “almost” passed, and with just a few more courses (at their private school, of course), you “could” get a job with them.   


I stopped applying to any “company” that has a “school.”  Just a waste of time.  Plus, in the end, if you miraculously pass their courses and actually get hired, they only pay you what amounts to minimum wage.

Recording Of Doc Cheating
Apr 24, 2012

Recording Dictations
Aug 02, 2013

Seriously, I wonder if there is a way to record these dictations. I would LOVE to hear for myself the "errors" QA/QC are always finding and putting into Fiesa. The fact that we are not provided with proof of these "errors" really concerns me. Please Nuance bigwigs, prove to me that QA/QC isn't making things up or hearing things wrong. Really, are we to believe that we are the only ones making mistakes, that they always have perfect hearing? I want proof! ...

How To Transcribe From A Recording Using Foot Pedal?
Dec 03, 2014

I have to transcribe something that was recorded WITHOUT benefit of a transcription program. It's just a recording (I think it's on the Internet right now). It wasn't recorded via any sort of transcription program that I can sync up with a foot pedal, and it wasn't recorded on a tape or anything. Does anybody know if there's a way that I can use my foot pedal to transcribe this? (I really HATE to transcribe it without use of a foot pedal - obviously, it's going to t ...

I keep seeing the same ad for neurology/orthopedics for Documed.  It disappears for a few weeks and then it comes back again.  I took the neurology test (I have 13 years of experience in that specialty) but still do not hear anything.  Yet, the ad keeps reappearing on a regular basis.  Something seems wrong here.  ...


Documed?

Documed Would Like To Hear About Them

Would like to hear from anyone who currently works or has recently worked for Documed. I would like to know what your experience has been or had been with them. I have read the archives, and there is either really good or really bad. Would like to know what the current situation is with them. Also, does anyone know why the same orthopaedic position is repeatedly posted? Is the sound quality as bad working for them as the test was? Any information would be appreciated. ...

M-modal Being Horrible
Jun 07, 2010

I know there are a lot of comments on here about M-modal being horrible and I have to definitely agreed, it is the only VR I have used so nothing to really compare it to but cannot do many more lines per hour than I transcribe (usually about 275 lph or so), anyone willing to share how much they do on M-modal and how long the account has been on VR?  Just my curiosity since I don't seem to make any progress in increasing my lines per hour.  Thanks in advance. ...


Started My First Job, But It Went Horrible!
Jun 08, 2010

Hey everybody, I just needed to vent a little bit. I started my first day on my first job, and it went absolutely horrible. I was using the Emdat InScribe platform, which seems easy enough, but they have sooo many templates that the doctor should be using and isn't. My first few reports were okay, but then everything went downhill. I'm supposed to use the templates, but half the time, I had to erase 3/4 of them because it wasn't what he was saying. The wrong templates would load, ...
