Wmx - What's the difference between Native and New? - feeling senile

Posted: Oct 04, 2011

Hadn't used New version all that long (months?) before we switched back to Native. I honestly do not see a difference between the two besides native having an ugly font. Clue me in as to why the switch back, and what's the difference? Thanks.

New version was based in M-Modal. The original plan was to transfer all accounts over to the new editor, until Nuance acquired Webmedx. M-Modal (I believe now owned by Medquist) is a major competitor of Nuance. They did not want to keep paying their competitor.

Native version uses Nuance's Dragon speech engine. The speech recognition isn't quite as accurate and there aren't as many bells and whistles (autonumbering for lists, skipping over dead air space, double clicking to get to point audio for that word, etc.). I think Native is faster, though, because you aren't bogged down with inserting the headings like in M-Modal and it seems to run generally faster (faster upload and download of reports, not sluggish when editing). Nuance is supposed to be working on replacing Dragon with eScription in the near future so we will be using that as our VR engine. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

Native using Dragon and then change again? - AnnieOakley

So let me get this straight. We cannot be as productive on this Native thing, but about the time its engine learns, we move on to something else? Meaning we have to work 10 to 12 hours to make what we used to in 8? But we can use our vacation time in case we "need it" to make up for the lost income, so we never get a vacation, and then they are going to take away our holiday pay from what I understand. I do not know this to be true.

I believe the plan is to change to eScription (the best VR engine out there from what I have heard on this site). This will be a good change. It may require some time for eScription to learn, but I think it will be well worth it as it is a superior VR engine compared to Dragon. I think they are working on integrating this into our current platform so that would not change, just the engine.

I honestly prefer native to new version and can be much more productive with it.

Personally I have no vacation time left as I had to use almost all of it for times when there was no work over the past year. I have heard that Nuance doesn't pay holiday pay also and only pays a 25% differential if you actually work on the holiday. I'm not at all happy about being sold out to Nuance but have found that this is the place where I can be most productive, and production is the name of the game in this business.

Big LOL on that ugly font remark. I always thought it was ugly too (nm) - anMT

Thoughts on this? What do we do when they quit paying the hourly stipend to make up for the transition? There is no way we can be as efficient or produce as much on this platform, so this is, in effect, another pay cut, or is it just me? Anybody else spitting out the lines on this disaster? ...

Since switching to Native EP, my lines per hour have been running around 130. One day I decided to really apply myself to see how much better I could do, so I focused, did not give in to distractions, was fortunate to get decent dictators, had about 50/50 ISR and straight, and still only achieved barely 160. I attributed my usual low lph to an account with horrible dictators/audio, but that was not much of a factor this day. I am a seasoned MT, fairly proficient with ShortHand, but still strugg ...

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 ...

There is a cry in USA not to outsource US jobs to other countries. In the same way, are they crying for USA should belong to only native Americans and all others should be pushed out of US for the sake of getting jobs to the native people.

I need a new job apparently. ...

Is it just me or my region but the only difference I have seen in the upgrade is the doctor's data base and being able to number with the numbering function. I have yet to see the headings column come up on the left with a job or have the option on the top that says "type headings as dictated." When I try to use the alt-H for inserting headers it it is still coming up in the middle of the screen and it is not showing, "client preferred headings." Pretty much anything that ...

treated as such. If you do nothing to change a bad situation, the bad situation will never change. But I guess some, like my DS, thrive on the drama of poor me, I can do nothing to help myself, please feel sorry for me. And others, like me, hate drama, hate being treated bad, and refuse to stand by and let it continue. I will not let a MTSO rule my life to the point of draining my bank account, monopolizing my time and stomping on my self esteem. Why would I stay in a situation ...

CEO, COO, President, etc., came to you and said that management was taking a pay cut along with you? Has anyone ever been told that their office staff or other support personnel have been doing without raises or taking pay cut with the bad economy? Do they have mandatory reduction in hours when things are slow as there is no money coming in? I'm just curious how much the nature of the beast affects everybody in a company versus the MTs and what the reasoning is. Why ...

Procyte and Prosight I know that Prosight is a multivitamin. I found both on WebMD's drugs and meds A-Z. There was no information on Procyte. It was just listed as Procyte Top. I was not aware that there was a Procyte until earlier today. The doctor dictated "And be careful you use the correct one, but I am unsure of the spelling." That confused me a bit, so I did some research and the only place that I found any mention of Procyte was on WebMD. An ...
