This VR is so far off the mark, it's SCARY: - Meerkat


Posted: Jan 26, 2012

Dictated:  "The patient arrived from home by auto."

VR's Version:  "The patient arrived by curvilinear polo player."

the company has given up on it and is working on the new program, thus, crappy ASR. Yes, it is getting worse and worse. Don't think anybody in tech is working on it anymore. JMHO

Well that would answer the question I wrote above - tired

Are you 100% sure they are trashing this program? I have a friend who left here and says that their program is 100% better..Heck I bought Dragon Speak when I worked for another company, not even the medical version, the 30 dollar one and it was better...:-)

That's what I hear - mmmt

They do keep postponing it but it is supposedly in the works. My post above is just my opinion on why ASR has gotten so bad lately but it makes sense. They sent everybody new computers for it so I imagine it is going to happen, just hope it is before I go broke and hope it is better than this garbage.

Mark Off By QA... Seriously?
Dec 05, 2009

Dictator dictates "She like has a problem with like eating solid foods, however, like can eat mostly anything soft."  I left out some "likes".... "She has a probalem with eating solid foods, however, can eat mostly anything soft."  I got .25 taken off for each "like" I left out.  This is not a verbatim account and it drives me crazy because if I try to make a complete/proper sentence or even try to use English (with MT rules of course) I get marked off!  (that is mostly ...

Hello Everyone: I was just offered a job from On-The-Mark Transcription and am wondering if anyone knows or has experience with this company? I cannot find them on the better business bureau. It is a smaller company and pays less than most places but hires many new graduates. I am worried about getting into something that might be "unsafe". Please respond if you have heard anything about this company. Thanks. Kim ...

I received an answer from this company and have a chance to work for them.  Thing is he says regarding pay, the transcriptionists get paid when he does.  He bills the hospital and when they pay he pays.  He says sometimes it takes 2 months to get paid.  Does anyone have any other info on this company? Is he reliable?  Thanks!     ...

QA Says IT Finally Fixed The Question Mark Issue.

Although, she said it will take a while to retrofit all the accounts and then we can stop correcting the question marks in the ADT. Huh? Two TSMs ago I was told we didn't have to correct the question marks anymore. I haven't corrected the question marks in at least the last year and a half. ...

OMG, Very Scary
Apr 29, 2010

A friend of mine was just fired from MQ with no warning whatsoever! Apparently she had CC'd the wrong doctor (very similar-sounding names, ESL dictator). I know this is a major HIPAA violation, but everyone makes mistakes...we are only human. My friend always had excellent QA audits above 98%, 15+ years as MT, no other issues with her work. You would think they would look at this on a case-by-case basis, consider past record, when it comes to firing someone on the spot like that. It is ...


Scary, Scary ASR
Sep 10, 2010

doctor clearly states "a fair amount of adhesions;"  ASR transcribed "some adhesions."  That is so bizarre to me and if I wasn't really LISTENING and was just flying through proofreading, I would have missed it.  Not particularly treatment-changing for the patient, but certainly incorrect.  ASR just flat made up dictation there.  Absolutely amazing.  If I did that, I would be fired.  ...

Scary Software
Feb 17, 2010

During my first visit with a new doctor yesterday, I wondered why I was not presented with the usual "book of history" to fill out beforehand.  As the nurse was asking questions, she was busy clicking on pull-down menus, etc.   On her computer screen was software called SOAPware, and there, formatted into SOAP format and all, I saw my replacement.  Later, in the exam room, the FNP was using the software as well as we went along, after exam, labs, etc.  I made a comment ...

I was just searching the web to find a type of surgical camera and found this on a used equiment site...

Check This Out, Very Scary
Nov 13, 2010

A doctor who cannot pronounce encephalomalacia! She fumbles around with it for a while and then says "oh well, I will just spell it" and did so like she was asking a question (did spell it correctly though). This is an English speaking dictator with an MD credential.  Must be a resident as she has a co-signer but, my God, she should be more familiar with terms by now you would think.  She also fumbles around with common medication names and mg instead of mcg for Synthroid. Fo ...


Scary VR Error
Aug 26, 2012

VR:  has been taking a lot of Tylenol. Should be:  has been taking allopurinol.  VR's way of "thinking" is getting a little bit frightening.  It seems like it's changing context to accommodate its own errors.  I've seen it insert words and phrases that are clearly not dictated but would "fit" with the mistyped term. ...


Scary Thought...
Oct 03, 2012

First, VR was going to replace us.  When that didn't work, now we -- American MTs -- are fine-tuning VR so the Indian MTs can replace us.  And to make sure this happens, MTSOs are paying us unfair, unlivable wages to force us out, thus forcing clients to accept what they get from the Indian MTs because there won't be enough qualified American MTs left. I know this really isn't news, but I thought I'd share anyway. ...


This Doctor Needs To Retire, Scary!
Nov 02, 2010

I have this doctor I've been working with for a few years through a company, who is very old.  He frequently loses his place while dictating and often doesn't make sense.  Today has been bad already.  One report he dictated 3 sentences that did not make sense, nor was it clear what he was really trying to say.  Another report he dictated the exam, paused, started to dictate exam and then realized he already did, started with the impression, dictated #1, t ...

work and be happy they had a job.  But now, those same MTs have turned into slueths sniffing out less than honest MTSO.  Must be scary to know any day, you could get a call from an attorny, like what happened to Transcend management.  Like what happened to MM several years ago. Must be scary to be an MTSO and know that you have to do business in an honest fashion, or else, these days, good chance you will be caught being dishonest.  Must be scary to think at the very least y ...

Anyone else get a status update that included "Skip the scary movie marathon and work overtime"?
