ASR and skip markers - frustrated MT
Posted: Sep 24, 2010
I accidentally hit the delete button and it did not put in a skip marker so wondering if the trainer was wrong.
Mine does it correctly about half the time. - anonymous

Sometimes puts the skip -- sometimes just deletes when there are enough words for a skip. No rhyme or reason that I can see.
I have noticed that... - newbiegalmt

I have noticed that when copying and pasting into a mandatory standard in ASR that the QA markers do not transfer and you have to add them back in, but of course then the time stamps are wrong. I have brought this up with several folks and they said just be careful until they get the new header system up and running. Sigh!
I got a call from MQ regarding the amount of <skip> markers in my ASR reports. I was told that there shouldn't be more than 3 to 5 skip markers in any given report??? This sounded absolutely ABSURD to me and I told them to give a listen to some of the reports I edit and explain to me how exactly I am suppose to accomplish that!
Has anyone been told that or something similar? It doesn't seem to me that the "ASR machine" will learn if we simply do correctio ...
So, I'm confused and could use some advice. I am in an accredited HIT program all online to receive my AA degree and sit for the RHIT. I have just two semesters left to complete the program. I am very unhappy with the education I have received, and I am not sure I could even pass the RHIT. I am considering quitting this program and enrolling in a bachelor program where I can sit for the RHIA (it's a healthcare informatics degree through WGU). I am wonderin ...
"Maisara Rahman, MD, who helps train family-medicine residents at a county hospital in Moreno Valley, California, noticed a while back that attendance at her lectures was falling off sharply.
Dr. Rahman hadn't become boring all of a sudden. Other faculty members were noticing a lot of empty seats during their talks as well.
Had the family medicine residents caught a slacker virus? No, it turns out that they were skipping lectures, lunches, and even an occasional rotation, said Dr. Rah ...
I'm fairly new to MQ and learning the skip marker thing. Could someone please tell me, are we suppose to remove the markers that say <non-s>? I've had so many reports that are FILLED with these markers. Or, are they suppose to stay in?
I'd appreciate input/answers. Thank you, Happy. ...
Has anyone else had this problem, where you put a QA marker, but when you go back to listen to it again, it takes the sound back to the beginning of the report and no matter how many times you try to fix it, it just keeps doing that? What's the deal? ...
He says "I was going to do the CMT genetic markers for the "excellent" gene".
I have looked under CMT genetic markers and cannot find any "excellent" gene or anything that looks like it.
Any ideas? ...
I was wondering why in the new 6.1 version, it takes more words to get an automatic S marker inserter (highlighting words then using the delete button). I used to have to count the words and if 5 or more, used to place the S marker. I wonder why now the difference. Do you think the Q keeps track of how many S markers are generally given in our documents as their ASR system is developed, and now wants to give themselves another pat on the back, exclaiming how their stellar ASR s ...
Since the new upgrade 3 days ago, the ASR reports are showing continuously these red non-s markers.... Annoying. And I don't hear in the report any lapses of time. I thought this was supposed to be something that was manually put in, so my guessing is Yes, we are editing ILP work!!!! Oh well, I am just ecstatic I now have high speed internet and now no longer at the mercy of dial up on top of NJA and other problems. I actually do li ...
Has anyone heard of Margin Map markers used during mastectomy? Previous reports have it as MarginMap markers, but I cannot find this in any of my reference books or online. The complete sentence is "The breast was labeled with a MarginMap markers." TIA! ...
My first report of the day was an ESL (typical for a Sunday when that's all I get). I had QA markers, but when I went to send the document, the QA box was already checked and I couldn't uncheck it. I didn't think another set of ears would have heard what I couldn't. Obviously this report went on to QA as I was given no choice. Aren't we supposed to have a choice to check that box starting today? ...
I had a few extremely difficult ESL dictations tonight and reluctantly sent them to QA, only to get them back with some of my QA markers listened to, and others left in the report. I thought they had to listen to ALL of the QA markers and either correct them or blank them? I thought we weren't supposed to send reports with QA markers in to the hospitals? Is this just the MME not doing their job, or something else?
By the way, 99% of my QA markers were turned into blanks b ...
When a doctor uses markers at the beginning of each patient's dication in a recording, how can I access those in Express Scribe when listening to it? I have e-mailed the company twice, and the first reply was totally unrelated to my question. There was no reply to the second query. I am currently using the free dl version of ExpressScribe but would glady upgrade to the $30 version if I was sure I could access the markers. Thanks for any help! ...
HELP PLEASE. The way I read the letter a QA marker will no longer automically route a report to QA, that we must request that it go to QA. So how do we do that? I'm stopped on a report with a marker because of no ADT feed. Thanks in advance.

Okay so I am going round and round with this. I understand that MQ will be using weekly figures to determine the submission rate. I understand how the submission rate is calculated but what I cannot figure out is how they determine what lines to pay the reduced amount on.
My super's comment was that you will be paid the rate on everything after the 10% (3-14 - 5-1) or 5% (after 5-1) that is sent to QA.
So, maybe one of you posters out there, who is not visual ...
Anyone else get a status update that included "Skip the scary movie marathon and work overtime"?
Them constantly asking for OT is what's scary and full of horror!
But I need the money, so I guess I'll batten down the hatches and "find an hour or two before or after my shift" to help them out! Heaven forbid the managers ever hop on and transcribe! But I know they don't because when you ask them a simple question about account specs, they have no clue! If ...
