Are names mentioned on MT test to get a job for real? - mel


Posted: Dec 07, 2010

I took a test the other day to apply for an MT job and the doctor loud and clear gave the patient's name. The dictation was a consult. When the doctor mentioned the name of the hospital, I heard a beep, but when then the patient's name was stated I heard it.

I hope those are fake dictations that we test on. If that was real information, I do not want to go there for help.

 

Oooh... huge no-no! - no1joe

and I'd report it. Best case, it is a fake dictation, but if it's not, I wouldn't want it being my name on there. Who would? And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some "companies" are actually using real dictation as tests, getting them completed for free by applicants, so all they have to do is proof them and send them out.

Inscribe Audio Test For Applying--Is This For REAL??
Jun 23, 2013

Is that audio file transciption FOR REAL? Is that truly what you transcribe, or is there something that we can actually understand, as if English is spoken--for example, the last audio file.   Sorry I could not put the file here. But to get to it, you just go to inscribe's website, apply, and download the application to your desktop. You have to have a zip extractor, so I used winzip and it opened fine. Anyways, I listened on express scribe, and I was shocked that the words--the dica ...

They never told us about the change to Transcend and certainly didn't mention the change back to Nuance. Oh well.  Just an observation. ...
