I have had Shorthand for about a year and have never had a problem with it. Recently I noticed some of the words I have in it type out wrong. Costing me a lot of time to have to go back and fix. Sometimes if I erase and type again, then it will come out correctly. Anyone have a similar problem with Shorthand? Would it have anything to do with my license expiring in about 3 weeks? ...

http://dockets.justia.com/docket/illinois/ilndce/1:2012cv05571/271621/ Found this on a Google search. Is this old news? It doesn't seem as though you can get any information about it anywhere. ...

Just got done transcribing garbage...there is no way that was any kind of English I recognized. Awful Asian dialect! ...

Let me tell you what happened to me the other day. I am traveling next week to Houston. I called a hotel there to make reservations. I said my name and then since it is sort of a long one, said let me spell that for you. Well no matter how much spelling I did, breaking it down into slow, 3 letters at a time, the person NEVER got it on the other end. I spelled the last name probably a total of 6 times total. In order to get confirmation through my email, it is my last name and then first and you ...

Compared to the old Medquist (M Modal), Nuance is a piece of cake. Wish there were more options like the good old days but looks like Nuance and M Modal is buying all the MT companies and ensuring there is no competion to allow MTs to make more money. ...

I had a horrible sound quality report from a dictator I'd never done before. He wasn't too bad, but the sound quality was terrible and it was a surgical speciality that is not too common and I've maybe had one other report on that speciality in the last 3 months. I had to leave a BIG bunch of blanks. Hated to do it. Of coure it was many more over what I am allowed, so I turned it in to QA and was looking forward to seeing what the corrections were because that is a good learni ...

I spoke my mind by sending this to all MQ addresses I could gather. I got canned for it. Not worried about it though. Maybe it will make a difference. I sure hope so. Here it is: I am hoping that this letter will alert any concerned MQ personnel to a potential disaster. By introduction, I am one of many MQ employees who take pride in their position, in their work, and in their loyalty. I am one of many MQ MTs who accepted and eagerly learned ne ...

At almost everyone of our weekly meetings there is a coworker who complains about everything. She is never happy and monopolizes each and every meeting. I know she doesn't speak for me, not sure about everyone else, but she speaks up as though she has conferenced with us all and that we are all in agreement. How do I politley tell her to stop whining unless she specifically speaks for herself? I am happy with my job, my pay rate, my hours.........everything that ...

I have the Standard version 10 and had to deal with a lot of bug issues with it. I love the program, but I didn't like the constant problems with trying to download updates, etc. (I have Vista). I wondered if anyone else out there bought this updated version and was pleased with it. I'm hoping to hear that they have the bugs worked out of this program, as the program itself is great and a valuable assest to an MT who types in Word. Any feedback a ...

This Shaw guy is pretty funny, telling all of DSG how great his company is going to be to work for! As if none of us read this forum and know the truth. I'm really starting to hope this 2012 end of the world stuff actually happens! ...

I have been trying to figure out for two days (even reading the tutorial) on how to import my MS word autocorrect/autoexpansions into this program to no avail.D Did anyone else have this experience and, if so, what did you find helped you to "crack" whatever code is needed? It doesn't come with many, if any preloaded expanders and the medical expanders on the download site require yet MORE downloads to install them (and to pay for them as well). Any suggestions appreciated bef ...

When you sign for the employee handbook, it says something about no employee or manager can make up rules that contradict it. ...

I've been a member of this board for years and feel it's time to speak out from a business owner's perspective. I see a lot of negativity against MTSOs (maybe it's just the big ones but still it touches a nerve) and just wanted to give my 2 cents.Not all of us are greedy, mean, nasty, evil people. I can't speak for everyone but as for myself, I don't consider myself that way at all and my team of transcriptionists doesn't think so either. As a ...

for MModal from yet another Indian employee: “Horrible company to work, near to hell” ...

had issues with Thin Client freezing ALL THE TIME or just going way too slow? ...

it was when we were originally training it? Some days now it's even worse. I wonder what is going on. Things that have been corrected forever now have to be corrected again, and a lot of times it is spewing out gibberish. What's up with that? ...

It's that cold time of year, where the MT is forced to listen to dictators with a LOT of snot in their noses, which they periodically loudly sniff back and swallow. Unfortunately, I have a very vivid imagination, and the mental image of makes me almost gag. Another annoying thing is when doctors speak in a low, barely audible voice, but their "S's" come out with a whistle, so each time you turn the sound up, you get the loud, shrieking whistle ...

I'm burned out as an MT and thinking of asking to be put in a QA position at my work. Does anyone know (or want to share) what kind of income a QA position provides? Ballpark figures would be welcome, just for some idea. TIA. ...

Has anyone used Dragon NS instead of transcribing? Does it take a long time to train it? Is it really faster and worth the money? Thanks! ...

I was thinking of using this as a replacement for typing/transcribing. For example when I hear the dictation, I then repeat it to the Dragon voice recognition software, and it types for me. (You need to read the post before this one for it to all make sense -- sorry!) Thanks, Abby ...

Does anyone know if Dragon Naturally Speaking can work with the old verson of the old Medrite transcription platform? Thanks. ...

I purchased and installed this application for some classes I am taking. I thought it would save time with notes etc and it does ------ when functioning properly. I also contemplated the medical version for my transcription. It is probably just me, I am sure, but I just do not know how to fine tune. The only thing I know to do when I run into a problem is to uninstall and rei nstall. To my knowledge there is no technical support. &nb ...

For the last several weeks I have been sending reports for a particular MD to QA with lots of blanks. No problems with other MDs or PAs, just that one. Found out a couple of days ago that I'm not the only one sending lots of blanks back for the same MD. Finally got a couple of my QAs back and there was a notation that the facility is working with this MD to take English classes because the blanks have been words/phrases from the native language. Seriously?!?! I ...

Is it easy to learn? TIA ...

I'd like some advice from those out there that are using this. I have 32-bit Vista. I have heard that version 10 is a nightmare to install with cruddy tech support from Nuance. Therefore, I am considering going with version 9 Preferred if I can find it. I can't afford the Medical software, but I have heard of MTs having good results with training the Preferred version to medical words. My hands are bothering me, and I need to get this software to help out with reports. ...

I wish someone would tweak the VR as lately I am taking more time to do corrections than I could have typed it. It prints out whole paragraphs of things the dictator is not saying and these are plain speaking dictators. No wonder I keep getting poorer. ...

Hi, I have been researching this voice recognition software, and have found that about a third of MTs think it is not faster than typing, another third thinks it does not work well at all, and the final third thinks it does improve productivity. Does anyone have any input here as to a few more opinions? Thanks, Abby ...

I've tried to use the search function, but either it's not working properly or I'm not doing something right (I suspect it's not working right now). I work for a company with a Web-based transcription platform (straight typing). What I want to try to do to improve my productivity is to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking, load it onto my computer, echo dictate (redictate) what my docs are saying, and then cut and paste the software's output into the platform windo ...

Has anyone ever used Dragon Naturally Speaking to type up their work? Or is there better voice recognition software out there? I'm thinking if I just speak intead of type, won't that be faster? But I do not want to make the investment if it won't work or be worth it. Thanks so much! ...
