I fit in both of those categories. I've done this so many years, getting any other kind of job so far has been impossible. At my age I should be retired but that's financially impossible. Living in a rural community adds to it - no jobs.

  - I agree. We called it - voice wreck. (Views: 669, 2018-09-18, 12:04 pm)
  - Because you were not dictating into the system - nm (Views: 675, 2018-09-19, 8:30 am)
- We knew our jobs would eventually be eliminated - but (Views: 944, 2018-09-18, 12:03 pm)
- The point is we were lied to about the whole thing - sm (Views: 663, 2018-09-18, 12:26 pm)

    - Next question - I finally did quit (Views: 737, 2018-09-18, 5:29 pm)
    - Why did you stick around - The tone in this response (Views: 566, 2018-09-18, 5:33 pm)
    - Easy answer ... - sm (Views: 539, 2018-09-18, 5:45 pm)
      - "training" the voice rec engine with no compensation," that's the dictators job - sm (Views: 533, 2018-09-19, 8:43 am)
        Doesn't matter - What matters is what the MTs were told... - sm (Views: 608, 2018-09-19, 8:01 pm)
        Exactly! - nm (Views: 470, 2018-09-20, 5:16 am)

        relocation - burnedout (Views: 549, 2018-09-23, 12:45 pm)
    - My guess would be, some people had no place to go - nm (Views: 589, 2018-09-19, 8:51 am)
  - I remember working at MModal and when - voice rec first started, I (Views: 883, 2018-09-19, 6:26 am)
  - You cannot train voice rec, your voice has to be heard by it, - hence, voice recognition, nm (Views: 826, 2018-09-19, 8:24 am)
    - What about corrections to sound-alike words? - MTs do contribute. sm (Views: 610, 2018-09-20, 4:12 pm)
      - Nevermind, just saw your explanation below. nm - MTs do contribute. (Views: 457, 2018-09-20, 4:14 pm)
      - If the correction was made and the correction with voice is put back through the voice rec - sm (Views: 511, 2018-09-21, 5:25 am)
        My whole point is, Are MTSOs taking the time to put the corrections back through - to the VR, so it can learn? sm (Views: 569, 2018-09-21, 5:31 am)
        The software could be programmed to do that automatically - StillAnMT (Views: 481, 2018-09-21, 7:24 am)
      - Depending on how they have it set up... - bazil323 (Views: 744, 2018-09-21, 1:45 pm)
  - We were told the truth at Webmedx about voice wreck. - sm (Views: 748, 2018-09-19, 10:06 am)
    - You only train the engine if they put it through the VR a second time. - has to have a voice to learn,nm (Views: 598, 2018-09-19, 10:34 am)
- You have been misled. Voice rec learns from the dictator, not the person editing - sm (Views: 494, 2018-09-19, 8:22 am)
  - then how does it learn punctuation and correct grammar - sm (Views: 560, 2018-09-19, 9:30 am)
    - It can be programmed for certain things. In essence, your corrections are not - learned, without it hearing, sm (Views: 521, 2018-09-19, 9:37 am)
    - It keeps hearing 2015 and not 2018 when dictated. It types what it thinks it hears, that is - why called Voice Recognition, sm (Views: 441, 2018-09-19, 9:42 am)
      - I got tired quickly of the system constantly spitting - out 2000 18 for the year 2018 (Views: 433, 2018-09-19, 10:10 am)
        The system spits out what it thinks it hears. It's that simple - nm (Views: 653, 2018-09-19, 10:35 am)
        yes, the voice rec heard 2000 and then 18. it doesn't know it is a date - nm (Views: 669, 2018-09-19, 11:04 am)
    - I know how it works. It works by voice - nm (Views: 723, 2018-09-19, 9:48 am)
    - Punctuation and grammar. sm - Just a guess. (Views: 543, 2018-09-21, 11:38 am)
- I've seen on this board where a lot of you think that other transcriptionists are - making mistakes, sm (Views: 658, 2018-09-19, 8:47 am)
  - TRAINING DRAGON - Jaggar (Views: 594, 2018-09-19, 3:03 pm)
    - This is exactly - what is happening (Views: 733, 2018-09-22, 3:31 am)
  - Yes, and when someone corrects is INCORRECTLY - is certainly does have an effect (Views: 598, 2018-09-19, 4:44 pm)
