multi-party conversation account - anon

Posted: Dec 22, 2012

Does anyone know what it is or work on a multi-party conversation account? I am not exactly sure what it is and saw a job posting for "multi-party conversation verbatim account."

Thanks in advance for any info.

It's like court reporting - sm

You basically are transcribing the recording of a conversation between two or more people (multiple parties).

I tried it once and hated it. I was given a list of the speakers and the approximate places where they started and stopped, but it didn't match up to the recording and then they started talking over each other and were full of ums, ers, uh uh uh. It was verbatim also, so I had to include all those ums, and there were little codes I had to stick in where they talked over each other, or a door shut and obscured a word, *laughter,* etc.

I found it difficult and frustrating and would never attempt it again.

Thanks for the response. Doesn't sound like something I care to attempt either.

I have tried that fairly recently too and found it difficult and frustrating like the other individual said. It was just very monotonous and tedious, catching every little snippet of sound, etc. and sometimes the audio wasn't good and things just went on and on and on...

I did something similar - See Message

I did something kind of similar. It was for conference calls that techs had when there was a problem at a client end. It wasn't verbatim, just snipped. Hard to explain, but I'll try.

I did it remotely. There were up to 5 people on the call, which was live. Whoever in the "room" was talking, I would put their name down a line from the previous person who was talking. I would only put pertinent info on each line next to each name, not full-blown sentences. Kind of like if one tech said, "the client is having a problem with not being able to..." I would just put. "Problem with..." If they said, "I can't resolve this, so I'm calling advanced tech," I would just put "Unable to resolve, call to advanced tech." It was kind of hard, because I was just used to straight transcribing, but when there's no foot pedal, you can't do that.

There were also a lot of "tech talk" terms and abbreviations. We had a list of those to use as they were talking.

It was a little crazy. I didn't really like it, but it was an hourly rate and got paid during the time they were just waiting for a call back or something. I could sit there for 20 minutes with nobody in the "room" talking and still get paid for it.

I currently work with conference calls with multiple speakers. My company, however, does not make us include any ums and ahs and does not require adding laughter or any emtions. This is considered verbatim. Its not tedious and much less frustrating. I love it.

I actully enjoy that type of work. It's difficult, but - youre allowed a lot more freedom... - Meerkat

in terms of how you're going to type it. Basically they want accuracy of what's said, a little cleaning up for clarity, and ease of reading. None of the "OMG! YOU LEFT OUT A COMMA" lunacy of medical transcription.

Again, transcribing meetings or conversations can be difficult, but I find it so much more rewarding than MT. I also end up learning a lot about the subject I'm typing, too!

I agree, Meerkat, I have learned a lot about many topics from this type of work!

Regarding the conversation below about the end of the transcription profession, a while back MQ put a poll on MQ Central regarding professional development, goals and objectives, etc. I wonder why they would bother with this if they believe we will be replaced by the new technology (EHR).

This is exactly what we need to do. We need to help each other find a better job. While PF may not be the right fit for me, it might be perfect for someone else. If MModal, Nuance and others like them lose enough of their good MTs, they will have no choice but to pay us fairly and make working for them more appealing. We are extremely talented people and our job is very intense. We deserve a lot more than we are getting. I am happy to make half of what I made just a few years ago. It's time ...

All this conversation from people who realize what is and has been happening to their careers as medical transcriptionists is fantastic. Now, let's see some more action. Contact the attorneys that filed the Transcend suit, let's get other companies involved here. That's the only way we're going to send a big message. Just think, before the cut in pay with editing came about, we really didn't see too much problem with making the money that we neede ...

I received a request to chat on my FB account today. The person on the other end was an MT in India and he was essentially requesting American MTs to subcontract to him, let him do the work and pay him because (paraphrased) "even if the client doesn't wish the work offshored, there are many ways around this and no one would be the wiser." Anyone else had an encounter such as this? I did find out he makes about $700/month working 6 days a week, 8 hours a day. Has an ...

Anybody else get annoyed at docs who put every job they dictate in as a priority? I mean, everything they dictate, from a 2-month-old death summary to a 3-week-old T&A. I really hate the ones that are so old that the billing numbers have been erased from system. I'm guessing they were threatened with their license being pulled to get their work caught up. That's more important than H&Ps that need to be transferred with a dying patient right?? ...

I am not sure if this is going on with your accounts, but I have noticed on my primary that there are a lot of old reports in there, from days and days ago. A few weeks back my team leader said ignore those TAT times because they were pulling old stuff for "training." It started with DS, and now I notice that there are old H&Ps and Consults in there. So I am wondering if they are training Transcend employees to do my account, maybe VR, or I guess it could be the hospital tr ...

Did anyone ever contact a hospital after your account was lost to find out where it went and you were still employed with the former MTSO that had the account.

My state medical association publishes a monthly journal with a Classifieds section at the back.
