New to voice recognition....sm

I was wondering, is anybody making any money at all on voice? I keep hearing just minimum or maybe a little more. I call minimum wage 7.50 to 8.00 an hour. My experience with it was at one point I was told that I hadn't made enough for minimum and they had to do make-up pay. So how is everybody's experience with voice? I run from it, and I just want to know if anybody really can make an money? Thanks. ...

I just saw an ad on line for 03 for VR for IC. Isn't that low? I've never done VR so I am curious. Thank you. ...

I'm infuriated that the quota to keep benefits is the same as it was before voice recognition. I'm KILLING myself to try to keep up to maintain health insurance and just can't do it. With 96% plus voice recognition reports and half pay from straight typing, I'm losing health care benefits. SO UNFAIR!!! ...

Have to learn VR soon. What if a report comes to you and there were no corrections to be made, does MT still get paid for the lines on the report or do you only get paid for straight typing and then if report has errors you just get paid for those corrections. Never done VR before and for some reason they make it sound so easy. ...

For those of you who have had to make the switch to 360 VR, how is working for you? Our doctors are starting it this month and of course we are hoping it doesn't go well because we want to keep our jobs as is! I'm anxious to hear how it's going. Thanks! ...

Is everything with M*Modal now voice recognition? I'm in an area that until now has been doing regular transcription but am just realizing my area is going to be VR in the very near future. What little VR I have done I suck at. I can't afford to be paid less than half of what I am making now so I figure I'll be filing for bankruptcy very soon. How does anyone make money with VR? Is there a trick to it that anyone could provide? I sure could ...

Hi: I worked as an IC for 15 years and then went to work at a hospital for nine years. There have been layoffs where I work, and I think I will be included in the next round. I started looking around for jobs at a service again and was shocked to find out how much things have changed. Now, most of the services do a combination of transcription and voice recognition editing (I had no idea). Can somebody tell me something about VR editing? How is it done?&nbs ...

For those using VR or ASR at the going low rates today, do you feel on a fairly difficult account you can make the same amount of money as doing straight transcription. This is using the DQS system. ...

I'm curious about something and maybe somebody out there knows the answer to this question. Do the transcriptionists in India do voice recognition or are they regular transcriptionists. In my mind I thin this is what happened to the transcription profession. Someone thought that if we can get the work done cheaper in India then we should go there. However those girls won't have as much terminology as the ones here in the states so if we go to voice recognition that w ...

The company that I am working for is going to go with M Modal VR. I currently use ChartNet and they are switching to VR. I have never done this type of transcription before. For those of you who use it, is it that hard to learn? I am at this point so tired of learning new programs and I only wish I could retire now. MT is not what it used to be and I used to love transcription, but I am at this point just burnt out. I used to make good money working ...

Anyone out there have experience with voice recognition systems? We are being told our organization is going to transition to this format and we will become "editors". ...

I would like to get some opinions on voice recognition. I've never done it before. I've heard pretty much negativity about it, and it scares me because it sounds like a lot of companies use it. Also it really concerns me because I have to make at the very least so much amount of money to pay my bills! I've done clinic, hospital and at-home transcription. The at-home transcription was not a good experience. I actually had to go back to the hospital part-time and work a ...

the myth is that we're teaching it! The stupid thing refuses to learn! If this were a human, he or she would have been out the door a long time ago (and the interview process would have gone something like "Oh, yeah I can do transcription, I was a receptionist at a doctor's office!). So if there's anyone still concerned about being replaced by this thing, and resenting having to "teach" it, you can start worrying about other things (of which I'm sure you have plenty). ...

I was wondering if anyone has ever used any voice recognition software to do your work? I am having problems with my right hand that makes it a little difficult to type like I used to and thought that this would work for me. I could probably also get more lines a day. ...

Can anyone tell me some companies who do not do voice rec? I hate it!! Thanks. ...

How does VR know difference between peroneal and perineal? Is there an auto-correct feature on VR that everytime you say (for example) forearm it comes out correctly and not four arm? ...

I am new to VR. I just started a job yesterday and today was my first full day. All I can say is UGH!! How do you do it? Any advice on how to get productivity up is appreciated. Thanks. ...

I know this won't help, but I just feel that I have to vent a little before I go on to complete the document. My hands are getting so sick and tired of all the acrobatics they have to perform to do ALL THE EDITING necessary! One after the other without a break! I am literally sitting here ready to cry. I just want to type! I hate the mouse - and NO! I cannot be "mouse-less" you big shot executives! You try doing this job! ...

I have read the horror stories over and over about voice recognition and was literally scared to death to take the plunge and try it. I recently got hired on at a large company where my account is about 50/50. It took a bit of getting used to, but have found that I really can edit faster than I can type, and actually enjoy the break from straight typing. But from all the posts I've read about it, I know many people do not enjoy it. Granted, I hired on at another company a while back, where ...

Does anyone know if the voice recognition part of EPIC is like eScription? During the short period of time I had to use eScription, we were not allowed to recast sentences, etc. I honestly don't know how we are going to handle the ESLs when we move to that platform. We have been doing straight typing but I have to recast a lot of sentences. I guess in order to train the VR system I will have to transcribe the ESLs verbatim and those documents will not make a whole lo ...

When a job ad states it is for editing but not voice recognition, what exactly do they mean? I can't imagine what is different between the two. Sorry if this is a dumb question. ...

I would like to get some experience with voice recognition, how do I do this? Thanks in advance! ...

I was talking to a physician assistant today and she said when she was working in a hospital, she couldn't believe what kind of reports came out when doctors were dictating on voice recognition without having transcriptionists type them up afterwards. Hopefully, things may eventually turn around. ...

Hello, I have never posted here before but need some advice please. I have had my own transcription business for 7+ years working for a group of providers who are employed by a clinic. I have had nothing but praise and appreciation shown over the years regarding my speed and quality of my work. However, regardless of the preferences of the providers, the clinic is forcing a switch to voice recognition to save money. They have told me it is due to nothing that I have done ...

Just wondering about this. For one company that I work for, I had a secondary account -- a hospital, that we were told (e-mailed) we would no longer be typing/editing. The voice recognition program was getting better all the time and probably was pretty good at this point. We were just told that we would no longer by doing work for them. So 2 possibilities: 1) The hospital was not happy with our editing? 2) The voice recognition program had gotten so g ...

I have been a MT with the same company for many years with pay cuts and 4 cpl voice recognition rates. What is the average rate for typing and for voice recognition these days? Employee status as well as independent contractor. ...

Is anyone having problems with their eyesight because of VR? I am a 20-year MT and find that my eyesight is fading fast and am having difficulty with my eyes watering and burning, unable to focus, after a few hours of work with VR. I am also finding that I miss more errors/mistakes because of not being able to type things manually. Would appreciate any a response from others with this problem. Have really lost faith in the transcription world thanks to VR. ...

bipolar as their managment. One day it is user friendly, gives good drafts and the next day or later in the same day it pretends it has never heard medical dictation before and goes off on one of its wild tangents of rambling incoherently. Can't they fix anything in this company? ...
