How can we boost production when ASR is so bad

I was wondering what happens when we start to run low on work. Does Boost accommodate this in our scoring. ...

OK, it's nearly the end of my 2-week pay period. I'm way past my minimum line requirements. My primary account is low on work. I'm going to clean my kitchen. Watcha ya gonna do about that? ...

Don't you love the long and drawn out explanation of the BOOST initiative. They have a VR program which is frequently only 10% correct, misses entire phrases, creates entire sentences without one correct word and they want to boost our production by having us never remove our hands from the keyboard so we can all develop carpal tunnel at a faster rate. What a bunch of geniuses! ...

Today's BOOST e-mail went too far. Now they're monitoring mouse clicks, keyboard shortcuts and pedal time? They can actually tell which keys we touch or don't touch? Folks, I'm pretty sure this BOOST program was our summer compensation adjustment...type faster... ...

Well, it finally happened. I got the e-mail from Boost saying I had been chosen to be mentored. I don't understand. I ALWAYS get my line count and more. I always type my hours. I have had some good numbers on the Boost reports, one 5, one 3.5, but I have also gotten two 1s, as I do not speed the report up during the report, and I don't use the arrow keys to go to the beginning of the paragraph and such. Can someone please tell me how the Boost mentor ...

stalked & forced to keep our hands on the keyboard rather than what feels comfortable for us, now that I'm keeping my right hand on the Ctrl & arrow keys to make constant corrections throughout this ASR garbage, I am starting to have severe hand pain that I've never had before. I wonder if this is carpal tunnel. I would imagine their workers comp cases for carpal tunnel are growing by leaps and bounds with this horrible ASR program. Seems like it would counter ...

This is a measurement of the amount of audio that is replayed, keeping the highlighter and cursor together and moving smoothly throughout the report. If you keep the highlighter and cursor moving steadily throughout the report with less stopping, then there is less audio that is replayed, allowing you to complete the job in less time. The above would work in an ideal world if one didn't have to do a lot of editing, would that be a correct statement? I mean, if I h ...

Boost liquid s/l impreme was provided. ...

Boost didn't help me like that at all. In fact, it didn't make any difference at all in my production. Only learned tricks to keep my inactive time showing as less. Also, according to statistics given in the statistics report, I am producing about the same as most others - which is still minimum wage (in my state). Even the average production is barely above minimum wage (in my state). ...

Did you know that minimum wage will be raised from $8.00 to $9.00 next month, at least in California? So I wonder what that means for Nuance. Does that mean that the minimum line per hour will now be mmore than the current minimum of 186 lines/hour to meet minimum wage without having the company pay MUP or make-up pay? Or does that mean that they will give employees a raise and leave required lines at minimum of 186 lines? I wonder. ...

inactive time, right? "Inactive time is defined as length of time when neither audio is played nor keystrokes clicked in an open job" as per the email. SOOOOOO, why dont we all just keep the audio running as we research, go to the bathroom, etc. Just make a note of where you are in the audio, go do your thing, come back and finish up. What would MM think of NONE of us had any inactive time anymore, lol. ...

Ok, not sure if I'm the only one who had this initial perception of the mentoring program and the BOOST initiative, but it is my impression that during my mentoring session it was kind of IMPLIED that if our inactive time decreased our pay would go up...me thinking my daily pay for SR. Inserted in there ever so sneakily from my mentor is the fact that the inactive time has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on our daily production pay! A low inactive time only affects PTO, downtime, etc., pay which is ...

TSM says since I got under 99% this week to take this seminar. What is funny is that a last week I got an email (bc I got 100% that week) saying how well I was doing and keep up the good work. LOL. Oops!. I bet she wishes she didn't send that email! Anyway, anyone do that Care Boost for Quality seminar and found that it helped at all? Not sure it's going to....I am positive I will continue being all over the place in my post audits....100 ...

I have a Boostaroo and it muffles the audio when I turn it up on my headset. Some of these dictators go back and forth in volume and I have caught several mistakes I made on deciding what I hear. This simple Windows function might help some of you, I noticed a small difference right away. I am also looking into an app to download as I don't have room for a set of speakers up on my work area to plug headset into. I am going to research more on this with l ...

anymore. What a morale killer, and they just tick me off. I already know the shortcuts, but if I find it faster or less painful to mouse occasionally, then that's what I'm going to do. As long as I'm meeting my quota, then please back off. Jeez, I've never felt more smothered or stalked by a company. ...

Is it mucous secretions and mucus production or mucous production? ...

I proofread EVERY report I send through,,,and I use my mouse to flip through it,,I know that takes a lot of time...Im about ready to say to heck with it and not proofread, my lines will go up and the inactive time will go down,,,unfortunately I care that my reports are done right....Fed up with this crap ...

I would like to know how MTSO's get away with paying MTs and MT editors not hourly, not salary, but solely on how much they produce like they are working on an "assembly line"!!! Being paid on how much one produces is "pathetic" and is not paying MTs/Editors based on their "knowledge, skill, or experience", and I think is an injustice to the medical transcription profession as a whole. What happens also when an MT/editor works over 40 hours per week. By federal ...

Does the company you work for have production requirements? I've never worked with any, but we were just informed that some are coming and that the industry standard is 150+ lines/hr. I could do 150/hr on a good day, but if there are not a lot of reports available, it would be very hard. Just looking for others who work with production req'ts and how you cope. Thanks for your feedback. ...

I'm at stage 2 now. I've got a conference call for my verbal warning next week. Problem is - I have been in the 'cesspool' for months now. One day I (and apparently everyone else in my group) suddenly had next to no more work from my primary accounts. The account has very apparently gone overseas. Every once in a while 1 report will show up, so I am sure MM has not lost that account. I can see a lone job show up every once in a while in DQM. Since then, I have had no ...

Is there a date set yet for when QC will be on production? My thought is, if they are going to this and do MLS work as well when no QC available, Nuance probably has to figure out some fancy grid work to figure their pay on this as well. Nuance still hiring like crazy, offering sign on bonuses, recruiting off different web sites, and then some of us sit with OOW, at least on the US only accounts. The last few weeks it has been VERY regular that we run into OOW. Not even offered to w ...

I have never been a top producer, but I have always been consistent and have excellent quality. All the MTSOs say they want quality but it seems to inevitably come down to producing that line count, no matter what variables come into play, bad dictators, just a bad day, lots of short reports, etc. All they want is that 250-260 lines edited per day. I realize there have to be standards and goals but it just seems that in the past copule of years, especially when I worked for Nua ...

Are there any companies that have any type of incentive plan anymore? I know several used to have production levels with incentive for reaching different levels but are there any of them left out there anymore? ...

If you don't make your production in any given pay period, do they drop your insurance? Do they give you a warning? ...

the work seems to disappear? I was doing over 400 lph and now no work. This happens every time I have great lph. Can companies do a switch-a-rooney, keeping the work away from people or can the platform be 'fixed' that if you hit a certain lph, no work will download to you? I'm really curious about this. I've been watching this happen for a couple months now. ...

I transcribe reports, do ASR reports and I also do MME work. I find it impossible when I an constantly "switching gears" every day on 5-6 accounts to maintain a decent production. How can anyone keep up with knowing all the CP's and keeping track of all the details of each account plus do the production we are supposed to do? If someone has a suggestion, let me know. We keep getting all these e-mails from QC regarding a complaint from a customer ...

The compensation structure and "minimum" hourly or daily production expectations often encourage people in our industry to work unreported hours in order to meet minimums. You have a day when you get a rash of the account's most trying dictators, for instance, and at the end of 8 hours you realize that you haven't met minimums...so you work another hour, while reporting only the 8 hours. Transcription companies are, of course, aware of this dirty little secret and do nothing abo ...

I have had a terrible Mon/Tues this week due to the software in my computer being incompatible with the upgrade, or whatever happened with DEP shutdown not being resolved. How can I get compensated, other than taking PTO. Have ticket in, but do not know how to document slow production to CCM, as I kept working thinking it was my issue and not the software's, and submitted ticket hours later. Am I the loser in production/pay? It would be a gesture of good busines ...

Got a split report. Never get them. Had forgotten what I learned in the 6.1 update so had to find it on MQ Central and re-listen to the blessed instructions. Took forever as it won't let you fastforward to the part of the instructional that you need. Don't guess their keystroke monitoring cares about that, nor the time I wasted having to do it (yet again). ...
