The software developers and people running the ASR should be ashamed - seeing red


Posted: Apr 02, 2010

of the quality of their work.  More so, though, MQ/CBay should be ashamed of claiming their ASR is ready for prime time and making us suffer by making us suffer through their cr*p and cutting our pay.  But, judging from their behavior, they have no shame.

No consistency - sick and tired

I just am amazed at the difference in facilities; some are really not too bad and my main facility is jibberish. You literally have to correct almost every word. It hasn't "improved" at all. There is also a huge difference in dictators and not really depending on their diction. Some doctor's reports come out decent from the start; others have to be almost totally retyped word by word.

Suggestion To Software Developers.
Jun 14, 2013

Won't mention any particular company here, but I am compelled to comment on the quality of the software.  I have never worked with anything this complicated in my entire MT career (25+ years). Demographics are a nightmare.  Database for CCs is......I don't have words to adequately describe the mess.  If I enter information into the *fields* too quickly, the system locks up. If I enter more than one search option, the system locks up. If I use SH, Ex-Text or other ex ...


Does Anyone Know If The Dictation Software Developers Omitted The "pause" Command?
Feb 17, 2013

What happened?? With my own accounts I've worked for 100 different doctors and every single one used the pause as a standard courtesy. Today - not ONE single dictator uses it, yet some still keep saying "sorry" when they have more than 10 seconds of dead air time. Do the dictators now consist of a new generation of rudeness or did they "forget" to include a "PAUSE" command in the programs??? ...

People Skills For Work-at-home People
Nov 01, 2010

I have been at home working full time for about a year.  I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other.  I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills.  Do others have this same problem?  It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others.  This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

Running Out Of Work
Feb 22, 2015

Hi, this is my first time on this forum, so hope this post goes through.  The hospital that I work for is outsourcing the transcription department to Nuance Transcription Services.  We have been offered a job to move right over, etc. and everything sounds just wonderful.  LOL.  However, I see on the board many, many unhappy employees.  Is there anyone that is happy with Nuance? and about running out of work - is that mostly radiology or is it also medical records?  ...

Running Windows Programs On A MAC
Sep 25, 2010

I have an opportunity to get a brand new MAC as a gift.  My boyfriend has an extra one.  I work on the BeyondText platform and remember seeing someone on here had a MAC but had a way to split it so her Windows programs ran on the MAC somehow.  Tech support at Transcend says it won't work on a MAC. Or maybe I was wondering if an external driver could be used that was Windows and would run on the MAC.  Probably a pipe dream, but a MAC!  Oh I would love it!  Anyb ...
