InScribe - Straight Typing Versus Editing?
Sep 08, 2014

Has anyone ever worked for them.  Is it hard to pass their test.  I sent the application in, and it was a long process.  How long does it take to hear back on the test results.  Are they a good company to work for?  Pay (cpl)?  Straight typing versus editing? ...


Editing Reports (sm)
Sep 14, 2012

It seems to me since the red box has been taken away that the speech recognition engine has gotten worse...meaning that while I am editing, some words are just totally left blank on the screen.  Then there are some words and phrases that are not even close to what the speaker is saying.  I know speech rec was not that good anyway but it just seems to me that it has gotten worse in the past several weeks.   Anyone else notice this? ...


Do You Re-read Reports After Editing?
Dec 15, 2010

I edit the report and then re-read to proof it.  I don't find it redundant because I do find errors that I've missed.  I just wonder if I'm an exceptionally slow editor.  I was a fast transcriptionist, but this is a completely different job.  I use Shorthand as an expander, but my speed just doesn't increase much. I find I spend a tremendous amount of time on the demographics more than else (searching for the correct patient, etc.).  If the patient i ...


Rates For Editing Reports
Apr 26, 2011

Can anyone help me out with editing costs.  I want to know if anyone knows a rate to charge by the minute for voice dictation.  I am advertising for editing services and I want the voice dictations to come along with the reports.  But if you get a rotten dictation that takes up a lot of your time to listen to it, I don't want the cost per line charge.  What would be a competitive rate to charge per minute?  ...

Providers Editing Their Own Reports
Jan 03, 2015

Providers editing their own reports, yea. Go back through and look at your old reports and see if the blanks are filled in. About 85% are not filled in. Many providers are salaried employees of the institution. When they stop seeing 1-2 patients per day to edit and/or type their reports, it will take awhile 2-3 years I suspect at the least, for the bean counters to figure out why their salaried employees are seeing fewer patients, generating less income. Then somebody will come up with the no ...

I know around 90% or more of my accounts are SR, but to go 4 full days without one typing report is rather odd.   Feel like someone is picking them out.  Have heard QC are allowed to type and pick what they want.  If that is what is going on --- hope Karma bites you in the butt. ...

Prefer Short Reports Or Long Reports? Sm

Editing Pay
Jun 05, 2010

I understand that everything is going to the way of the editor and not typing, but when the editor keeps missing whole sentences or makes up words that sound nothing like the doctor is saying, how is one supposed to make any money?  I only get paid .04 per line to edit and I am spening more time trying to fix editing mistakes than I would if I just erase the text and type it out.  Very frustrating.  Thank God my husband has a good paying job, otherwise I would have to find another ...


Is All Editing With VR Really This Bad?
Oct 28, 2010

I work for a company that uses M*Modal for VR and all the reports have SO much editing.  There are complete words missing, words added that clearly aren't being dictated, at least 2 words on each line that have to be edited.  I'm doing so much more work for less pay than I was straight typing everything.  This is the only editing I've done so I don't know if this is normal for editing or if M*Modal just sucks!  My line counts suck, my pay sucks.  Any ...

Job Sent Without Editing

So, last week the system went down right as I was finishing up an extremely long job.  When it finally came back up, there was another glitch and before I could hit "recover", the job sent to the hospital as I originally got it with no editing whatsoever!  The hospital got in touch with Medquist EXTREMELY upset and in turn I got an e-mail wondering why that happened.  I feel like contacting this hospital myself and letting them know this THIS is what Medquist gives us to work ...

Typing Without QA
Apr 06, 2010

You know, I think I am typing better and faster without the fear of QA hanging over me.  I never thought they were extremely helpful anyways.  Usually they couldn't fill in the blanks and just nit-picked the report like a pecking bird.  I have never had a report sent back from a client (knock on wood) because they were unhappy with anything.  I spent far more time trying to please QA than the hospitals and doctors (and have told my supervisor that more than once).  ...


Typing Into EMR
Mar 20, 2012

For those of you who are typing directly into EMR/EHRs, how are you accessing the voice files? Is it coming directly from the EMRs or do you have to grab them separately. I've been asked to type directly into an office's EMR and am curious how this is going to work. It sounds like some are charging per audio minute and others per hour. I'm trying to keep my job relevant and go with the flow. Thanks to all who post their situations. At least we can all pull together, learn and keep ...
