Do you think you can talk any faster? I actually understood a word!

Right when you think MM (Merciless Master) couldn't possibly come up with a new way to add stress to your job, they make you install a software that counts your mouse clicks! My friends who still work in hospitals wouldn't believe this! Okay, I've seen everything in this business now. ...

So I finally decided to submit a remedy ticket about the months coming through not capitalized (have you all noticed this?). I explained that when a complete date is dictated it seems to do fine, but if the month is just used in a sentence, such as "in September" they are not capatlized. When is a month not supposed to be capitalized? These used to be correct but for many months now they haven not been. So I get a call from "Phil" who wants me to explain the problem. He doesn't ...

While training on Docqscribe 7.1, do we get paid hourly or straight transcription rate with a little extra for training? ...

Im used to this once in a while,,but the majority of them are doing it today,,,or Im going deaf.. ...

and you'd better straighten up or we will PERFORMANCE MANAGE YOU!! So sick of being treated like I'm in kindergarten. Yaw-Hoo, getting PM'd by a TSM who has never been an MT ...

Here's how easy my job is with ASR. "Fifth once assistance of 99 ounces peritoneum 29-774 mg of 1-1/2 ml." It's gonna be a great day. ...

I know the "push" is to use the shortcuts but it takes me twice as long to remove my hands from the keyboard to reach the arrow keys and alt+shift or ctrl+shift than to just click where I want to go with the mouse. I was just wondering if it's worth it to retrain myself to use those particular shortcuts. I tried creating my own but they will not work in our system. The other ones we have are fine but the cursor ones stink. ...

Our work is going off shore faster than you can imagine. According to posts, I see we are wondering about the lack of work, in many cases for over a year. We are behind in getting info on this. Google off-shore transcription or any words that will get you the info. The information is plentiful. Many articles state the hospitals are unaware that work is going off shore. They just dictate, assume it goes to a central system in the states and we sit behind our desks and have so much wor ...

Wondering if anyone has been able to find a way to make M-Modal go faster or if it is just hopeless. The software can be extremely slow and bogs down a lot, especially if you increase the speed or choose to optimize the playback to skip over blank spots (dictator not talking) in the dictation. I increased the RAM on my computer with what my employer provided when we first switched over to the software, but it is still so much slower than our previous software. Has any ...

Since the report is already typed and we are just editing I know I should be going faster than I am. Sometimes I spend as much time as I do if it was regular typing, but I know I should be going faster. Do people go faster on VR and if so do you have any suggestions that will help. Thanks, ...

I have been straight transcribing for many moons. Then got into doing QA and a lot of the reports I get are straight editing of speech recognition rather than doing QA. My production stinks when I do straight editing and have no idea how those of you that edit speech recognition all day make a living. Kudos to YOU! I am one of the probably few QA who really appreciates you MT's who make our jobs easier and do AMAZING jobs transcribing what I can't even QA. Thank you for your hard work ...

Over my many years in this industry, I have worked with tons of QA folks. I was also one of them. Most of them were great. Also always wondered why everything does not go thru QA. They QA all kinds of products in other industries like food products, toys, cars, etcetera. ...

yet unrealized position is just plain unprofessional. What reaction did you really expect? What was the purpose? Right now you have a piece of paper and a promise. Why not wait out the 6 months and then 2 long Mmodal years and then come back and share your journey of a lifetime. Don't forget, they once sold VR as the ticket to tripling your wages. Now that that train has run off the tracks, they need a new "dream" to suck you in. The promise of #30/hour is probably nothing more t ...

I realize we work on production and that we're not making money when our fingers aren't moving, but I don't think there are too many jobs where you're actually actively working for the entire 8-hour shift. There's always downtime. I understand it being a problem if people aren't producing a reasonable amount of work during their shift, but come on! Being chastised for stepping away from the keyboard for a bathroom break or to grab a cup of coffee i ...

To make a long story short, I don't agree with QA scores I was given at my job. I received an e-mail about it and need to reply nicely and suck it up, not unleash and possibly get fired. lol. I have to keep this job and need the money. Please talk me down. It's sad how medical transcription companies expect you to be 100% perfect. It seems like the MT is always wrong. Not QA, not the supervisors, not the presidents of the company. Whenever things go wrong, the MT alway ...

Just for the sake of simplification, let's say there are 3 kinds of MTs: 1. The MT who does absolutely any work type; operative notes, radiology, hematology, cardiology, neurology, and all the hard stuff, including difficult ESLs. Good audits and production. Good at VR. This MT is also certified. 2. The MT who is not certified but has at least 10 years experience, many specialties, ESLs, good audits, VR, and excellent production. 3. The newbie who ...

You've made this board so completely boring that I no longer feel the need to come here every day. ...

Out of 4 slots how many of those do you think will be given to MTs? I wish whoever is applying good luck. ...

I used it ONCE and got an e mail from my CCM to PROVE in Remedy and cc her where it needed to be straight typed. I was told even if I could, to NEVER EVER use it again. She meant it. So why do I see several threads and suggestions here about people using F11 a lot or suggesting we use it all the time? I used it ONCE and got called down. The ONLY reason I was excused was I put in Remedy the job number and a good reason. However, I was WARNED STRONGLY to NE ...

Okay seriously.. Spark, the new instant messenger for Nuance times out for inactivity every 4 minutes, obviously set that way by Nuance since the Spark instruction page on their own website says it times out every 20 minutes. Here's to the Nuance Police and their new "big brother" software! ...

Before responding, please read this post carefully. Yes, I’m talking union here, but NOT an MT union which would be pointless. Unfortunately we’ve missed that opportunity. Also, this post is intended for experienced professional MTs and include my thoughts on several topics that started down below. And hold onto your hats; this is a long one. I’ve chimed in on this subject before, but I wanted to make an official post to put it out there and get valuable feedback fro ...

The only person REALLY interested is apparently the person who recently posted. ****** This followup is posted mostly to point out the REALITY and that's that MTs will NEVER unionize :) It's just a topic that comes up, everybody creates fervor for their POV and then it all goes away (thank goodness)! ...

Talk about unprofessional. Michael at Inscribe calls at 7:00 a.m. for an interview. Then, when I call back 4 hours later, it is a home number, and Roy answers, hello. I ask to speak to Michael, Roy seems dazed and confused. Again I ask to speak to Michael about a job interview. Roy puts the phone down and yells for Michael, and tells him he has an interview on the phone. Michael picks up the phone, also dazed and confused. I explain that I am returning his call, that he had left me ...

So, it's true. I grew up on a farm. We had cows and stuff like that. And in my early wanderings around the place, I happened to notice certain - er, differences, shall we say - among the animals. I lay no claim to being particularly sharp-eyed, because these differences were more or less at eye level to me at that age. You couldn't miss 'em if you tried. Of course, this led to certain awkward questions, and in turn I received this memo under my cerea ...

Let's face it, striking will do no good. Complaining about off-shoring has done no good, unless that will cease at a national level for all industries. Complaining about pay is doing no good, since there is always an MT that will take a job at any rate. What can we do? What if instead of a strike, all MTs did only the minimum line requirement for a week? I think many, many MTs should go the Labor Board and file a complaint: If a company requires you to clock in an ...

I do. My faithful dog who sits beside me all day must think I am talking to him, but sometimes when they say the most idiotic things I just feel compelled to respond out loud. It does make me feel better. On the flipside of that, I wonder if the dictators are thinking to themselves while dictating that they sure hope I don't leave any blanks so they have to fill them in. It would be fun (?) to get together with some doctors and have a session of "To Tell The Truth A ...

Some dictators really like talking into that dictaphone and telling stories (literally novels) about their patients... but , the more these guys talk (blab, rather) - the more money I get! So, it's a doube-edged sword in this regard. The downside is that it's sooooooooo irritating and frustrating to keep typing as they go on and on and on and on and on and on until the cows come home! You wonder when the dictation will end! What do you guys think? Does anyone else get "story telling" ...

.....been going on with my job as a medical transcriptionist for the last several years to see if I had any legal recourse (I don't). Anyway, while we were talking I found out that he did not have a secretary/receptionst. I told him if he was ever looking for one that I would be interested. Then we got to talking about becoming a paralegal, and he said "you really don't want to do that". He basically said lawyers can be jerks to work with, and when you are ...
