I have been listening to this one female ESL dictator for a year now, - Abused Ears
Posted: Feb 03, 2013
and not once has she NOT been sniffling, sneezing, snorting, and swallowing/gulping down her own snot. Clean your nose out, already! These noises are really gross, I can never get through a whole report without stopping to gag. She is also a low-talker, so I can't just turn the volume down.
OK, vent over.
how utterly rude and disgusting.... - but, of course, we are not humans..
[ In Reply To ..]...worthy of any sort of courtesy from any part of this ridiculous "profession."
My condolences to you. She has a sinus problem for sure and probably parasites. Physician, heal thyself!
oh that is the worst... - Annie
[ In Reply To ..]I sympathize greatly. I have doctors (plural) who do the same thing - that awful guttural throat clearing, sniffle/snort - you feel like your ears are being assaulted. They know someone has to listen to that and clearly just don't care. Dictating manners should be the same as phone manners. If they were on the phone with someone, you know they would never do that.
Well . . . - Just be glad . . .
[ In Reply To ..]Just be glad you can't smell her breath. It's probably that horrible sinus-infected, rotting-meat stench.
I just aquired a new doctor who does nothing but sm - simply amazed.
[ In Reply To ..]Belch in my ear for every dictation! No sorry or excuse me, just lets it rip. I really would like to be able to tell him to make a gastroenterology appointment! It's amazing what some docs do. I also had one in the past that decided to use the restroom while dictating. That was REALLY pleasant!
Crazy dictation - Zenaida
[ In Reply To ..]I, too, have transcribed dictation in which the dictator could be heard urinating, defecating, belching and sniffing. But the dictation that ticked me off the most was a surgeon who had an 11-minute phone call with his girlfriend in the middle of an op report discussing where they could go for dinner that they would be least likely to be caught by his wife! I'm sure there are more horror stories out there. Would love to hear about your strangest dictation.

Listening To Dictator - And Loud Cartoons
May 13, 2015
Today I had the misfortune to have 2 lo-o-o-ng reports by the same dictator - I suspect someone else had him before me and said No Thanks and passed him on to me. He wouldn't have been bad at all if he'd just speeded up about 5 times faster, and if his son had not been listening to cartoons about 3 feet away. Actually, his mentation was so slow, it was probably his grandson listening to cartoons. At one point, he turned around and asked the kid to turn it down some, a ...
83 Rolled Caucasian Female?

Does ASR not "hear" year-old approximately 5 million times a day? This cannot be because someone "changed it wrong" in an ASR report. It is because it is stupid and whoever programs it is stupid. Also it takes 6.1 about 3 seconds to change the speed in a report now - up or down. I have to sit and wait. Going to be a really great day. I am sick with cold or flu and, of course, calling in sick is never an option. Sorry, I digress. Thanks. Jus ...

I am really really really (times pi) sickened but I figure if I write it here I can go to work and try to hang in there. I got the quarterly bonus and qualify for most times the weekly ones (depending on OOW situation and or if there are so many ESL a week I can't get the goal lines). Anyway, I have this high QA score on my weekly time sheet which is figured quarterly. Now, for the past 2 weeks, I am informed by TL that my quality is 98.6%, that I have in excess of 50, yes 50 critical error ...

Dear Nuance: Have you been reading ANY of these posts? Do you see the discontent? Do you feel the anger and worry you see on this page? Or are you too busy driving your nice cars and eating in fine restaurants to worry about the people who actually make the money for you? I know I'm ridiculous for just wondering if you feel even the smallest twinge of guilt,but I like to think that people still have some humanity left. Do you think about the families tha ...

So Sick Of Listening To These Foreign Doctors
Apr 02, 2013
I am sitting here literally ready to punch the wall out of sheer frustration. So sick of listening to these foreign doctors. Are there any of the regions that are not saturated with them? Seems like mine is chock full. When I transcribed for another company, with a lot of the hospitals in the Southern end of the US, it was not near as bad. VA Hospitals, full to the brim with them and overflowing as well.. ...

Love Full Listening ILP Reports For 3cpl....!!!
Nov 25, 2009
Because I need my job I bite hard everyday to continue with MQ. Being an MME is horrible when you are paid 3 cpl to full listen ILP. I get paid more to ME my own ASR reports which take me sometimes just as long. Each time the situation is mentioned on how unfair it is to only get 3 cpl to full listen ILP reports we are always told that it really isn't that many reports....funny I did over 90 of them in a pay period and they aren't short reports ever always long... ...

I just want to cry. I really had no idea that it is basically going to invo ...

That's what I found MQ advertising while I went searching for another job. Just what does it mean though? They certainly aren't listening to us.

Who comes up with this double-talk anyway? Probably the same person that writes our corporate e-mails. ...
