Straight typing - MT


Posted: Apr 13, 2015

Are there any accounts at Nuance that are straight typing and not VR? I find with VR I still have to make so many corrections it doesn't justify the pay per line so I might as well go back to straight typing, if those accounts even exist anymore.

Typing - Me too

If you contact AssistMed, they have tons of work and you can request straight typing jobs I think ... personally, I refuse to do VR ...

Of the 7 accounts I work on, there is only 1 account that is straight typing (Enterprise platform). There are only a handful of providers on that account, because the rest of them made the switch over to Epic about 2 years ago, so the work flow is scarce.

I believe it is very rare to find accounts anymore that are not at least majority VR. Believe it or not, companies DO charge less for edited work, so most clients are opting to go that route nowadays.

I am not sure why clients would be paying less for VR. The supposed intention of VR was to help the MT not have to type as much and do more editing to get the jobs done faster with accuracy but now they must be selling the software saying that the companies can charge less. It should not be less of a charge in any way since it is pretty much never accurate to begin with and never learns anything correctly. JMO

One MTSO started charging less for VR way back when in order to seduce their clientele, and it started a Walmart effect. Now all companies have to do it to stay in the game. Simple business, unfortunately.

are the ambulatory accounts recent acquires? - sm

If so, once the contract is up, Nuance will probably persuade them all into VR as well.

They are, about a year - and we've all already heard whispers LOL - nm

Bayscribe/BeyondText straight typing - HangingInThere
[ In Reply To ..]
I work on a straight typing account that is a Bayscribe/Beyond text combo. But I have not heard of anyone who has requested to switch to straight typing and has been allowed. I could be wrong, but don't be surprised if they deny your request. I also believe when we had backlogs at the beginning of the year, they brought on new-hires instead of cross-training VR transcriptionists.

ASR Vs Straight Typing
Oct 15, 2010

Got new accounts for the last 2 weeks that are not ASR (yet) so have been doing about 90% straight typing.  I have been averaging about $20 more per day than when I do ASR.  They can sell whatever snake oil they want, I can type faster and make more money straight typing than I can with their much-touted fabulous ASR --- EVEN ON BRAND NEW UNFAMILIAR ACCOUNTS.  ...

Why Suddenly Less ASR, More Straight Typing?
Nov 19, 2009

Hmm, let's see.  We get a letter from MQ extolling our virtues as MTs, more and more info about nationalizing the EMR with Verizon, etc. and I notice I'm not the only one getting less ASR, more direct typing.  Could be a coincidence, but could be MQ is gathering statistics on us, how the voice recognition program of MQ compares with our production as MTs versus straight typing on our own.  Could MQ be using us as guinea pigs right now to pad their statistics to prove the ...

Re Straight Typing Versus VR.
Mar 08, 2012

I have a pretty good and accurate typing speed, which has made me pretty good money in the past.  Then along comes VR.  I have had somewhat success with it, if the right dictation is placed on it.  The problem comes in when a company tries to put anything and everything on VR that does not belong there.  It defeats the purpose of using it in the first place. I am told that the computer calculates the accuracy of a report.  If it is 80% or more, it goes on VR.  ...

VR Is NOT Twice As Fast As Straight Typing!
Nov 28, 2012

I used to love my job, being an at-home medical transcriptionist. I used to make around $20-25 an hour straight typing and thought being an at-home medical transcriptionist was the best job ever! The flexibility of working from home and flexing my hours was great! I could get the kids off to school, work for a couple of hours, go shopping, work for a couple of hours, just so I made production requirements and everything was great! Unfortunately, things changed and they started making us ...

My Quality For Straight Typing Is Spot On, But ASR ....
Oct 22, 2012

Little errors here and there. The influence of what SR has put out on what should be heard and the constant struggle with how much of the SR ouptut is wrong along with the loss of train of thought from having to stop so many times to correct, delete, move takes its toll. Some of the errors I see, I can barely believe I left. Although, I probably didn't delete enough. SR, in so many ways, is going to be the death of me. :-{ ...
