New auditing team - The Typing Dead


Posted: Oct 24, 2013

Alas, our 99.6% audits are no longer being done by our local BOB QA person but by an official MModal auditing team.  I wonder if they are as illiterate as the Mmodal corporate types.  Happy Halloween, now that's scary.  Kind of makes me picture the 3 witches in Macbeth, toiling over a pot of our work, creating mayhem.

This is nothing new... The auditing team have been doing QA for the 1-1/2 years I've been here - along with our regular QA person... Maybe they are just getting to your team.

Pay for quality - Doesnt matter

Pay us hourly or more per line and the stupid quality errors will go away for the most part..I can't afford to reread every report when I am done with it so I'm sure some minor errors go through.

The Auditing team - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Most of them are QCs that got a promotion so they ARE the MModal corporate types. I know, because my QC person was recently promoted to the Auditing team.

And BTW ... QA people have never done auditing. They fill in blanks and that's it.

anyone know? - anon

Anyone know if auditors are paid hourly or on production? I had a few on focus audits of my reports that had minor errors (oh my, I left out an "a" on one of them). Got me thinking and wondering if they are paid hourly and have the luxury of going slowly through a report, etc., while we try to fly through them as quick as we can with 99.6% accuracy, meeting line requirements, etc.

Maybe - Lolololol

Maybe they are paid by the error that's why they take the time to nitpick! Lol
Probably being outsourced - Nana

Probably being sent to where it is done cheapest, like Nuance. I would hope not, but probably.

My QA sends me audit summary on a spreadsheet that includes among other things the auditor's name. They are always Indian. She told us to stick to client profile like glue. That's what they use. If it isn't in the CP you'll get marked, i.e. mL instead of cc, etc.

Auditing
Jan 23, 2015

if they review at all of our work but because most are 100 percent, they don't upload to Fiesa, just choose ones with 99 percent or below and occasionally throw in one that is 100 percent to make it look good!!  I do NOT trust anythng they do and would not put it past them. We have no way of listening to even make sure that what they audit us on is accurate.  I am so paranoid that I think they may even change things that we type to make it an error!  So disgusted..... ...


Qualified For Auditing
Mar 31, 2010

Since Audits are affecting us so deeply at this point and possibly costing us our livelihood, I began to wonder WHO is doing the auditing?  We have lost most of the decent QA people (or will as of tomorrow when nothing will be routed to QA anymore).  I know that several of the CTLs, CCMs or whatever the acronym of the hour is currently called, have been morons and sent out E-mails filled with grammatical and punctuation errors, and some have not even been MTs before.  Shouldn ...


Auditing Of Reports Sent To QA
May 12, 2010

Back in April I sent 2 charts to QA.  They were both audited.  You think those charts were chosen at random? I passed with 99-100%, but it's still the principle of it all that gets to me!   ...

Who Is Left Who Can Perform 99.6% Auditing On Us?
Nov 09, 2013

Seriously, the only person I trusted for corrections was my QC.  If they are not going to be doing the audits, who is?  MMEs are just upper grade MTs who were suckered into working for less pay.  MModal has fired/laid off/chased off most of their competent MTs.   I can hardly wait until I get my first (and probably last) required audit.  A 99.6% accuracy requirement from this company of corporate incompetents is hysterically funny. ...

Does Anyone Know The Pay For The Advertised Auditing Jobs?
Dec 08, 2014

Just wondering if it's worth the transition in this company or if I should get away from Scruance entirely. (I love that word. Thank you to the original author.) To me, the fact that they are advertising for MANY auditors is extremely telling. I don't buy the 1% to 2% of a day's reports being audited. I think it will be much higher than that in order to SCREW us even more. ...


More Inconsistency With Post-Auditing...
Jan 04, 2015

Late last week I recieved an email communication about how they will only audit reports that were transcribed/edited during the current work week, only to log on this morning (I'm off Fri and Sat, so Sun morning is the 1st day of my week) to find that I had a post audit score below 99% that was audited on Saturday, so obviously it was edited last week sometime.  If I don't start my week until Sunday, how on earth can they audit a report on Saturday that was submitted the week prio ...

I currently work for one of the nicest and kindest companies and that are known for treating their employees with respect and kindness, hardly. I have been doing this for 15 years now and doing at home for 4 years and never had this problem. I being constantly picked apart and audited and t hreatened that I'm physically sick and so nervous to work that I can't make enough to pay the bills anymore. Now I'm even on 100% QA which decreases my pay even more. They have never showed me ...


Auditing Reports From "helper" Accounts?
Aug 24, 2012

Up until now (12 years with this company) I have not failed an audit, always 99% or above, and they do an audit once a month on my accounts plus the client audits. We recently were given "helper" accounts for 2 days when our work got low and I was more than happy to help out, as always. There were many difficult ESL dictators and complicated CPs. I did not think they chose reports from unfamiliar "helper" accounts to do their monthly audits as it had never happened to me before, but I was ...


Go Team!
Aug 27, 2014

Don't you just love how they try to motivate us to do a good job by emphasizing teamwork and how "important" each of us are as part of a team? Yet the pay is so low you can barely feed yourself or pay the rent? As a result, the team of employees are leaving in droves, at least as soon as they are able to. Certainly not motivated much by mere words not backed up by pay that shows real appreciation. ...

Team Leaders
Jun 21, 2012

Sooo, was just wondering what exactly does a team lead do and how much do they make? I am fairly new to Transcend/Nuance, and my regional manager seems to always be the one directing things, emailing, calling you back if you have ??. I really don't have any idea what my team leader is doing other than sending account stats and I think she checks the time sheets for errors. Add to that the fact that I get emails from 3 different team leaders within my region with essentially the exact sam ...


Team Leads/QA/QC
Nov 01, 2012

NOBODY IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE.  All the sudden no matter who is "on" always has a busy notice up on their status.  How frustrating is this when you work on an account where seems like every other crappy speaker wants things done their way, which contradicts everything else and ultimately makes no sense.  But do you think that anybody would be available to answer a question H NO!!!  All their "changes" to make things better are only making things wors ...

The TSM and QC person I've worked with forEVVVVER in the west is gone, both of them being moved up into new positions, and dividing their accounts and the entire team of MTs/MMEs has been disassembled and moved to other areas.  I am *terribly* sad about this because they were both absolutely amazing to work for, but I'm glad that I'll be staying in the Western region. My question is about my new TSM here in the West.  Her initials are KP ... anyone working with her?&nbs ...

We have a right to know who is auditing our work and essentially who holds our jobs in their hands.  We also have a right to be able to review our reports that have been audited.  I used to get the links for the reports that were audited, now I just get an email telling me how many mistakes I made, whether they were critical or minor and my score.  I want to be able to listen to the reports that were audited and that I supposedly made mistakes on to see if I agree with the audit t ...
