"A computerized selloff possibly caused by a simple typographical error triggered one of the most turbulent days in Wall Street history..."

We get blamed for everything else that goes wrong in business... might as well take the blame for the Stock Market, too.

Stock Market - aintpurrfect

What they said on the news was someone; ie: typist/data entry person/whoever enters the stock market transactions apparently typed in an extra zero making a sale billions of shares instead of millions which was reacted to with panic by others causing a big sell off. No one is perfect, even MT's make typo's we don't catch. :)

My QA's go into apoplexy over the littlest things.... -sm - Rocky Raccoon

commas, semicolons, drugs accidentally [gasp!] CAPITALIZED!

Remember in Crocadile Dundee, when some thug brandishes a knife, and Dundee says, "That ain't a knife, mate... THIS is a knife", and he pulls out this positively humongous knife?

Well, that's how I feel about the comma-and-semicolon thing: "Those aren't major mistakes... what happened in the Stock Market today --- now THAT is what I call a TYPING ERROR!"

Who Is To Blame?
Jan 29, 2012

Perhaps we can agree that the general state of healthcare documentation is a mess. In fact, it's worse than a mess - it's what my dad would refer to as "a pig's breakfast", and he grew up on a farm so he knew a pig's breakfast when he saw it, whether before or after the pig in question had breakfasted. It's been more than 15 years since HIPAA was passed, and many years before that we had a little thing called HL-7 that was supposed to unify the way information was to be ...

Nobody Wants A Typist!
Mar 11, 2014

I have worked from home as an MT for about 10-1/2 years. Before that, I did word processing at a large law firm for 20 years. I've been trying to find a job recently, and having a VERY difficult time. Everybody wants experience I don't have. I tried at a couple factories, and even though they will hire housewives who have never held a job before, they won't hire an ex-typist to work in a factory. Also, I can't stand for 8 hours so they won't consider me for most assembl ...


The Blame Game
Oct 03, 2013

Nuance is all about selling their voice wreakognition product.  They will never take the blame for any and all of its failures, instead they will shift it to the MLS.  They decieve their clients leading them to believe that their software delivers quality at 99% to 100% accuracy.    Clients you hear that:  All aboard you ship of fools!     ...

6th grade daughter is a typist.  She's taken a typing course and is very fast.  I, on the other hand, am a MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST who has taken courses, had training, and have 25 years of experience with medical terminology, pharmacology, anatomy, ESL physicians, etc.  I will refer my 6th grade daughter to this "typist" job......... ...

I Am No Longer Going To Blame Myself As My MTSO Does

for lousy dictators!!  I am just fed up with being blamed for the dictator's inability to speak fluently.  I am just NOT going to blame myself any longer, nor am I going to shoulder the blame from the MTSO.  I am going to tell them talk to the doctors and I do not want to hear it again! ...

Okay, here I go again.  Time to start my shift and NJA.  This is the second day in a row this week for me.  Guess I will again be working second shift out of necessity and not choice.  Looking for a second job but don't know how that is going to work since right now I do not have a "set" schedule with M-Modal.  When I looked at my W-2, in the last 3 years my income has gone down by 1/2.  OUCH!  Where is that magic genie?  Where is that winning l ...

Seriously, Some People Do 300 LPH On ASR? Oh Yeah Sm
Mar 24, 2011

I pride myself on using ALL tools given us.  I have ALWAYS been diligent in making my reports as perfect as possible.  I ALWAYS researched terms new and not known, looking up old reports to help on unfamiliar hospitals and doctors.  If I could transcribe (old term type) my reports I could easily do 300-500 lph, but I CANNOT get any of this type of work.  I get 98% ASR.  Lately it has become more than stupid!!!   Entire wrong terms are entered when the doctor is ...

Saturday night, you know the night when we are understaffed, we need commitments for people to work extra, blah, blah, blah, and I am OOW.  I am no stranger to transcription and generally expect things to be slow on Christmas Day but to be out of work now, this does not bode well for the week.   ...

Employee Survey - Yeah, Right
Dec 10, 2012

Just got the survey email.  What a joke! The Senior Executive Team (SET) and I are deeply committed to improving the M*Modal employee experience and culture, and to do that successfully, we need to receive candid feedback from everyone.... it's that critical and that valuable to understand the employee perspective as completely as possible -- across geographies and across functions -- so that we can become the best place to work in the industry. ...

Goodbye Nuance. And Oh Yeah. You Can SUCK IT. Sm
Oct 21, 2012

I am writing this email to inform you that tonight will be my last night with Nuance Transcription Services. Over my many years in the workforce, I must say this is the first resignation letter I have penned without any sense of melancholy fondness for the job I am leaving behind. No, instead, it is a feeling of liberation from "time served." For the past 7 months, I have put in my time here at Nuance, suffered through many countless hours of horrible voice recognition files, made next to ...

"PRIMARY" Account Yeah Right!

I am sick of hearing I was "given" 2 primary accounts, but never see them, and instead am getting accounts I have never seen before! I am so close to quitting this very minute. I truly wish "they" had to suffer through this!!! I just needed to vent before I quit, which I may still do before this 8 hours is up. I worked my rear end off to gain experience and knowledge all these years for this? Guess I am a fool for thinking this would be a great career...not so much. Bitter pill to swallow an ...
