Almost All The Dictations Suck Today
Jan 15, 2014

What is going on?  So far, almost all of the reports I've received have been murky, fuzzy, hard-to-understand dictations, the kind where it sounds like they've been dictated under water.  I can take one now and then. but when it's one after the other, it starts to get annoying.  ...


Audit = Good Job! You Suck! All In One Day.

Nothing like passing the 5-report audit with 99.5+ only to receive a minor error on an individual report followed by a major error on another report returned from the client all in the same day.  Lovely.  Seriously considering going to the other dark side and hanging out at N until my coding training and my MBA are finished. ...


KEYSTROKES/MEDITECH - Larger Font
Oct 14, 2009

I  rarely post on this board, but I was surprised and dismayed to see the posts below regarding Keystrokes and Meditech accounts and wanted to respond. I have also worked for KS for 4 years.  I am very experienced on many accounts they have using various platforms; Meditech, Docuscribe, Winscribe, ChartScript, and others.  I type, QA, and do training on these accounts, so I feel like I have a pretty good idea of the situation.  Meditech has different bui ...

Goodbye Nuance. And Oh Yeah. You Can SUCK IT. Sm
Oct 21, 2012

I am writing this email to inform you that tonight will be my last night with Nuance Transcription Services. Over my many years in the workforce, I must say this is the first resignation letter I have penned without any sense of melancholy fondness for the job I am leaving behind. No, instead, it is a feeling of liberation from "time served." For the past 7 months, I have put in my time here at Nuance, suffered through many countless hours of horrible voice recognition files, made next to ...

For Larger Print When Reading Forum
Aug 09, 2014

When reading this forum or when on ANY Internet site, if you are having trouble because the print is too small, hold down your Ctrl key while using the scroll on the mouse. Moving the mouse "wheel" up will enlarge the print; moving the mouse wheel down will make it smaller. This pretty much works on anything except for e-mails. Don't forget to keep the Ctrl key held down while you are doing this. ...

Been Doing The Math...
Mar 08, 2012

...and I'm wondering about everyone else's situation.  If I work diligently and have work available, I can do 300-350 lph in SR, so that's $12-$14 an hour.  My hours actually spent engaged in my job, getting ready for my job, getting to my job, getting home from my job, etc. are basically the hours I'm working and the few minutes it takes me to boot up.  I have no car (don't need one--spouse and I work the same hours), no uniforms, no lunches out, no conve ...


New Math?
Jun 04, 2014

Just got notified the national audit team did a June audit on me and I failed.  I had the incorrect birth date.  Stupid me.  I am usuallly so careful that what is dictated and what ADT have are in sync.  This 1 got by me.  Said my audit score was 96.75.  If a critical error is 3 points, how can this be?  Even 97 would be failing.  HMMMM?  Guess slow down and triple check everything.  Back on the "worry wagon" again.  What will happen? ...


Let's Do The Math
Jan 14, 2015

Let's say you have 1,000 MTs.  If N manages to keep $100 per week per employee due to penalties, that is $100,000 each week that Nuance gets to keep....for nothing.  Multiply that by 52, and they get $5,200,000 to keep per year just on platform, QA, QC, LPH.  And how many MTs are there?  And how much more than $100 are we losing?  But heaven forbid they have to increase you by a few dollars to get you up to minimum pay.  Check where your total lines are comin ...


Anyone Out There Really Good At Math?
Mar 16, 2010

I've tried to do the math to figure exactly how much of an "increase" this is.  I'm sure it's chicken feed, but since I keep getting a different answer when I try, I'll never know. I subtracted my old rate from my new rate and got 0.0013.  Is this 1/13th of a cent my raise per line?  Lordy that cannot be right!   I kept doing it over and got different answers, and I don't know how, but math isn't my forte.  What does 0.0013 mean?  Is i ...

Has Anybody Done The Math For The Incentive And
Oct 17, 2010

I'm unsure if my math is correct, but this is what I got.  I average about 300 lines an hour for my 8-hour shift.  In order to reach the cap over the 4 days, I would need to type 16,666 lines above my normal line count.   That would be 4167 lines extra a day.  In my case, at 300 lph, that would be almost 14 more hours I would have to work daily on top of my normal 8.  I suppose 1 hour to sleep and 1 hour for eating and potty breaks a day is all I need, right?& ...


I Stink At Math
Mar 22, 2012

Here's my deal...I got a report a couple of days ago that shows my avg LPH for the previous ppd along w/ some other stats.  It shows that I edit appx 300 LPH (cut me some slack as I'm fairly new on these auths).  If I multiply that by an 8-hr shift and my line rate (0.045 cpl), I keep coming back to about $20 more per day than I'm actually getting.  My straight transcription pays about double the VR edit rate, so WTH am I missing.Apologies for being dense, but I rea ...

Cut In Pay Varies, I Did My Math
Dec 03, 2014

Many posts on this convoluted mess called a compensation plan. Here are my positives: 1) I don't have to notify payroll if they posted more lines than I should have gotten. I have no clue how many compensated lines I should be given. 2) I don't have to notify payroll if they overpaid me. I will never know. 3) I will know where all the food banks are and every other means of help with utilities, etc. Now, here's my negative after doing the actual math: 1) I am losing $350 per ...


Fuzzy Math
Apr 02, 2015

I just received my March report, graded at 99.3% and the accepted standard is 99.6%. There were 5 audited reports - 3 @ 100%, 1 @ 99.75% and 1 @ 99.3% which was the last one. My March report said I averaged 99.3% and need to improve quality, proofread, ADT screen, dates, labs and so on. Problem is, one missed comma gave me the 99.3% score. Yes, one comma in that report, nothing else was noted. Just doing simple math to come up with an average score for my audited reports (5) is 99.81% surpass ...


Did My Blank Math
Apr 04, 2015

I was consistently going over the metrics for blanks being submitted to the client and decided to keep track of why I was sending those blanks.  It turns out that 77% of my blanks are due to either discrepancy or audio issues; blanks that I am positive nobody could fill in.  77%!  These metrics either need to be done away with or adjusted for doctors that don't take the time to not be idiots.  The most common discrepancy is incorrect age or something else that I can fill ...

Who's Decent With Math? Have A Question About That 5%......

Okay, so today if I did 1320 lines and sent 93 lines to QA, which was only 2 reports all day.  Wow it adds up fast!  This is more than 5% for today (not sure exactly what % but I'm sure it's over 5%).  I'm pretty sure this is an average day.  So, I'm still confused about how much we get docked.....will I get paid 3 cents less a line for EVERY line starting when I first go over 5% in any given week, which will be the FIRST day?  Will it be on EVERY lin ...

Math Fun For Medquist Employees
Sep 15, 2011

search for the cpi calculator. Type in what you originally started making when you first worked for Q converted to dollars - like I started at 6 cpl, so I type in 6.00. then type in the year and calculate.  Mine comes up a little over 9.00. converting that to cents, I should be making a little over 9 cpl -- that amount has the same "buying power" as 6 cpl did when I started.  But actually I'm making a little over 7 1/2 cpl -- This works out to that I now have about 80-some percent ...


I Have No Idea What Kind Of Math They Are Using
Dec 14, 2011

In any case, I've been ignoring it.  You can double check your pay by taking the amount of money in the Current column and dividing that by the number of lines in the Piece Units column.    It may be a little bit more if you work nights and get the shift differential as it seems that they add that on.  It would be nice if they would show that in a seperate row like they did before Ultipro ...
