DocQScribe - have a question - sm - Susan


Posted: Mar 05, 2011

I work for a company that uses DocQScribe (not MQ) but since MQ uses it, I thought you all would be experts on it and I could ask this here.

I copied a report I did from DocQ into Word and got different line counts - to the tune of me losing 14 lines in a report by DocQ's count (adds up by the end of the day).  Am I missing something or can companies manipulate the DocQ to count a certain way or it is what it is? 

I am a big producer and it never seems I can hit good numbers and now I wonder if this is why.

Thanks for any help.

Here's what you have to do - sm

I have seen on here a lot of complaints about this but never really checked myself (didn't want to get mad). Anyway, I took a report I did and copied it into the word document. We do not get paid for the red headers, so I removed them. Still had a different count than they did. If you have standards in reports, like I do, you have to remove the asterisks and the spaces left between all the paragraphs and any signature lines, headers, etcs. Then I did a line count and got what they got. I don't think it is right because we have to create our own red headings sometimes, which is my typing, and don't get paid for it. In the standards, I have to remove the jump marks, which is my using the keyboard, and don't get paid for that either. But, that is what it is. Try doing that and see what you get. By the way, when you copy the report, the red headings don't show up as red headings, they are typed with colons, so remember that.

Well, I had a friend run in in another counting software - sm - Susan

She got what DocQ got. Word inflated it but it also counted the headers (I didn't take them out and am not sure whether or not we get paid for those). Seems about the same but it sure is amazing how slowly the lines build up.

Thanks for the tips!

I guess I will have to try again but when I check, sm - mqmt

I get the same line count and sometimes a little bette than what word gives me----not a lot but maybe a line. Need to recheck!

What method are you using to count lines in Word? - SM

[ In Reply To ..]
Word does not count text in the header/footer area. Word does count blank lines between paragraphs in the Line count.

To get a correct comparison, you must first know exactly how your lines are being counted.

DocQscribe ASR System. Does It Really Get Better?
May 04, 2010

My account was switched over 5 weeks ago and truthfully I don't see improvement.  One day I think maybe it is getting better and the next day it's worse.  It doesn't cap what should be and does cap things that shouldn't.  It has probably 50 different things it uses for "next" or "next is."  It puts q.h.s. one time and at bedtime the next.  It will do a fantastic job on a crappy ESL dictator then get every third word wrong on a good dictator, but the n ...
