VR unfair all around - crn

Posted: Apr 23, 2014

I just finished typing a VR dictation that was a little over 100 lines and VR picked up probably 10 correct words in the whole dictation. Basicallly, I had to type the whole report but only got VR pay, which is half of straight typing pay. How is this fair? It's not. This whole situation is wrong.

VR is only as good as the whole of the transcriptionists - happynow

that are training it. If there is no formatting that is constant and followed precisely you get a bunch of garbage. I now work for a company that has strict guidelines for their formatting and I'm not kidding, I make twice as much as I was making at Nuance and iMedX.

I send those ones right back. I refuse to - work for free - nm

Editing/proofreading ASR is just as much work as straight transcription. It should be paid the same. Trying to micromanage productivity and skew the data to somehow show we are being "lazy" (ex. productivity e-mails on inactive time) won't change the glaringly obvious fact that the MT is being ripped off. In what other profession would you see a pay cut for using a tool? Mechanic? Let's see. They used to have to practically dismantle half of the engine to diagnose a problem. ...

I had a very bad experience recenly with a company which will remain unnamed. I had been intentionally decieved about some policies. If I recall correctly I had read something about the labor board. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to contact them. This was an INTENTIONAL , DELIBERATE misrepresentation. Since I am no longer with said company I really have nothing to lose. I have also read repeated co ...

3 corrections per line when editing MQ's ASR and especially for 4 cents. And I am even stupider for continuing to do this. Grrrrr... For the last week, I have so been teetering on writing a truth-filled (and consequently not nice) letter to the ASR department condemning them for their shoddy work. Although, I'm sure I would get in plenty of trouble. ...
