No, you're not. That ad, as well as some others - for anti-MT services bother me a LOT. (nm)

They are random based on keywords from this board. They are not advertising per se on this particular board.

Why it bugs me: - sm

1. I hear their ad on the radio and see these online ads at least 3 times a day each.
2. I work for Nuance and it sounds like the company is making megabucks with their products and yet their transcription service employees get pay cuts and difficult-to-obtain incentive plan.

Yeah, for me, it's personal.

Too sensitive - anon

you can often change these internet preferences - hope this helps (sm)

The ads are generated by your browsing habits, as another poster mentioned, but you can usually alter these ad preferences. Do you see the little blue triangle in the upper right hand corner of some ads? If you mouse over it, it will say "AdChoices". Clicking on this enables you to change the settings and effectively block entire categories of advertising.

Thanks. nm. - Did not know that.

May Be Losing Job To "Dragon Speak"
Aug 27, 2010

Hi all, I wanted to share my current situation.  For the past 3-4 years the doc I work for (I am an IC but have had an acct with this same physican for many years since I used to work in his office as an employee) has periodically told me and the full-time lady in the office that we may be losing our positions due to cutbacks in transcription.  I also transcribe for another family doctor in this same group and probably half of my lines come from him as well.  There was an office ...

I'm seeing a crap load of emails coming from the CCM and the Quality Coaches about information "not being input correctly" on the ADT.  In our region, just about every account wants their ADT "searches" done a specific way and it's very confusing.  I can't see where it's even ethical to reprimand us for a part of our job that isn't even paid for.  Can they do this?  I have been thinking all morning about replying to the latest ADT reminder, "Dea ...

I was on lockdown, now I'm not. I'm still on the same old accounts for the most part, with the same old CCM listed, but nobody seems to know it.  LOL Anyo ...

Is It Too Much To Ask For The Docs To SPEAK UP

How can we edit/transcribe if the volume is highest on the computer, ear phone amplifiers are on, and we STILL CANNOT HEAR!  If it comes straight typing and ASR cannot pick it up, why in heaven's earth does the doctor think I CAN HEAR. I cannot!  Are these docs being passive aggressive... Oh they don't realize?!  That is just MEAN, CRUEL.  Forget that I have to make a living wage, but think about just plain RESPECT.   This vent brought to you by me getting too ...


Can't Speak Properly
Aug 22, 2014

There are a couple of dictators whose grammar, pronunciation, and enunciation is so poor, you wonder if they actually need a translator in order to speak to their English-speaking patients. A translator that can translate poor English. That translator would be bilingual, that is, English-speaking and poor-English-speaking. Yes, it seems "poor English" is also a language of its own that only those who speak it can understand. ...

I Get Dinged Because A Doctor Can't Speak

I mean seriously this catering to their stupidy is starting to get old. Granted they aren't major errors. But, my theory is if they cannot give me the courtesy of even remotely completing a sentence, much less a paragraph here lately, I am sending it through. I know I can look at the repository and figure most of the stuff out, but that is a guess at best and not a chance I am willing to take with patient care. Sick of it!!! Unfortunately, my main offenders are 100% QA accounts so QA f ...

Nov 17, 2011

First, I was warned about low line count during a period of many MQ computer problems (finally got new one and now resolved), then audited during that same time period after being warned about line count, which I passed at 99.89%. Then 2 weeks later I start getting a work type I had never done before, like every other job, completely new terms and docs, which normally I do not mind learning new things, but now with the more-than-5%-sent-to-QA nonsense I do not feel comfortable sending blanks to ...

As I mentioned earlier I keep getting badgered, first for dropping percentage on FIESA, then for production. One of the things that bothers me, lately I keep getting more and more of those same dictators that I make the most mistakes on. It's almost like they want me to fail? Is that paranoia or just the elephant in the room trying to sit on me and no one notices? I am on an enormous account. I realize they can narrow work down to some degree but with literally 100s of clinics on this ...

What If Doctor Doesn't Speak English??
Mar 09, 2010

I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...


I Am So Sick Of Foreigners Who Can't Speak English!
Feb 14, 2011

They expect us to understand their Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Hispanic accents when they can't even put a simple English sentence together!  The hospitalists are the worst.  I think they hire them right off the boat from their overseas countries and put them to work in the hospitals-- probably as cheap as they can get them, and then put them on VR.  My MTSO increased their line requirements for this year and with over 30 years' experience, I struggle ...

I Think I Now Know Why Some Fail MT Test
Apr 13, 2012

I beileve it's when the company advertising closes the hiring process but doesn't let us know.  For fun, I just went to an older ad and went through the testing process.  I KNOW I aced it, but it told me I didn't have the skills necessary.  I also KNOW that the job hiring process was closed, but did it just as an experiment. So those of you who are so hard on yourselves, don't be.  I truly now think it's because the company has closed the hiring proc ...


What Happens If You Fail More Than 1 Audit?
Aug 05, 2013

Last year I failed an audit, barely and was out on 100% QA for 6 weeks after 1 email from TSM and no responses afterwards until suddenly I was off and back to regular work. Later I was transferred to another TSM. Wednesday I got an email that after multiple complaints from a specific doctor, all his reports were 100% QA and my report had failed the audit (barely). Nothing from TSM yet, but I am off Sunday and Monday. I wish I could quit so bad, but can't afford it. If I get fired and apply ...
