Need tips on how to edit VR more quickly - SM - binglebug

Posted: Oct 07, 2014

Hello. I have just edited my first 5 VR reports ever. It seems like ther must be a more efficient way to do it than what I was doing. Every time I needed to make a change, I had to stop the recording and manually move my cursor to the right place. I wish the Word cursor moved along with the dictation. I'm sure this must be a learning curve thing. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Put your cursor - in the

middle of the line and scroll down as you read, then move the cursor to the spot you need by using CTRL -> or <-.

Also if you're using instant text or another similar expander, set up entries that will let you insert punctuation and a space with one hand. that speeds it up a lot.

Use an expander program like Instant Text and make - sm

sorry but how does that help you still need to hit 2 keys for a punctuation entry which is the same?

to make the process faster and easier on your hands.

It is not so much about creating a list of the most typed words and phrases than about figuring out the most frequently used keyboard commands you use to correct systematic VR mistakes.

Creating glossary entries with a chain of commands will take more time than compiling a glossary of words and phrases. Remember, there was a time where this kind of word lists could and - with traditional expanders - still can only be done manually. Everybody was convinced that it was worth while to abbreviate "the" because it was a word typed a thousand times.

It will be the same with editing commands: with some (the ones where you chain a series of commands) you will save lots of finger-twisting keystrokes, with others you won't save that much, but it's still worth while because you will do it a thousand times - unless VR eventually learns to get it right in the first place. :-) I wouldn't count on it.

I just got Instant Text and was wondering if anyone had any tips about getting up and running quickly with it. Are there any shortcuts to choosing between the words that pop up besides mousing down and clicking? I'm trying to decide if's actually slowing me down or if I actually transcribe faster without all of the constant reading and clicking. Does everyone start out this way or am I doing something wrong? ...

We've all heard that, right? Someone should inform QA to not over QA then because adding in "a" or "the" or "an" is overediting! Plus, we get dinged for it. I'm so over this BS. I am literally so nervous now when I sit down to work. Yesterday, I slowed playback down to the point that I did 700 lines LESS than I had been doing just to see if this made any difference. Nope.

Just wondering...when the documents are imported into the client's system, can their doctors edit them if they find an error before they sign off on them? When I worked in-house, the doctors could either edit the report or re-dictate whatever we had blanked. I'm just guessing that the reports go to a queue for the doctors to "read" and then sign since, legally, they are ultimately responsible for what they dictate. Just wondering if anyone knew. TIA. ...

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but how many lines on average would you say you can edit with ASR per hour? I think the most I have ever been able to do was around 250 myself. I just wondered how I measured up with other MTs with the ASR jobs. I remember a couple of years ago not long after MQ started up with ASR getting a company email describing an MT (no name was given) who could edit over 600 lines per hour and over 400 with straight transcription. ...

Jun 02, 2012

I think the platform is great. I use most of the important hot keys to increase speed, do not use the mouse much, and rely on the keyboard. The dictators are crystal clear. The editing is minimal; it's the cleanest I have seen in my experience. My internet connection is fast. I am not having any technical problems. The account specs are simple and clear. To make the same in VR as I was with traditional transcription, I would need to do 300 VR lines per hour, and I just can& ...

Am I the only one who is constantly dealing with these issues? 1. Lines of text overlapping eachother into a confused jumble.

When leaving a pending note, the text I took 2 minues to thoughtfully word out just dissappears completely, and I have to type the whole thing all over again. 3. When leaving a pending reason, the drop-down menu will randomly pick a reason for me, and I have ...

Does anyone here use EditScript v10? I am in a perpetual state of confusion regarding how things are calculated at Nuance. In v10 there is an RDR mode, in which we review our reports that have been corrected and get our accuracy percentage. But, there is also FIESA, which for me has a different percentage (sadly, much lower). I've noticed that FIESA generally only generates about 1 report per day for me, which doesn't seem very accurate. My percentage with RDR is 99%, an ...

There was also mention of an upgrade to version 7. ...
