ASR good point - cr
Posted: Jun 22, 2014
Many times, I've had absolutely no idea what the dictator said, yet ASR picked it up, and I felt so grateful and relieved that I had that to go by. Upon seeing it in print, I could hear it and confirm that ASR got it correctly. Otherwise, I would have likely had to leave blanks in those spots. It does help at times.
I could not even begin to straight type - Val
[ In Reply To ..]some of this stuff w/o ASR.
I much prefer ASR to straight typing. - L&L
[ In Reply To ..]I spend most of my spare time reading, I read fast, and I prefer just editing. The pay for ASR, though, not so much.
I prefer straight to ASR - sm
[ In Reply To ..]too bad we can't put in preferences so those that want one way can get the majority of their work the way they like it. ASR is physically painful for me, the way I have to hold my wrists is killing me
I think most want straight - Typing
[ In Reply To ..]More money!
It picked up things I didn't hear once in a great - while, but the boredom factor trumps that.
[ In Reply To ..]It's hard to tell for sure how often ASR picked things up, because most of the time I was fighting just to stay awake.
What about the 85% it gets wrong? - no name
[ In Reply To ..]....
I don't think ASR is 100% - bad,
[ In Reply To ..]but imagine if someone told a carpenter we will pay you half as much because you are using power tools... ridiculous. And no I don't think ASR is nearly good as having power tools, at its best more like having slightly better text expander. Come to think of it, wasn't there a time when they were trying to screw us out of pay for using text expanders?

What Is The Point Of Asking You What
Feb 04, 2010
specialty you really don't like if that is all they are going to give you? Now, before anyone flames away, I was hired by the Q several months ago as a tier 3. I pull my weight, work my shift, and don't have too much to complain about except for NJA from time to time. When I was hired, they asked me specifically what specialties I like the most and what I like the least. I was told that if there was a specialty that I really disliked or didn't have as much experience ...

of us looking at DocQManage to see what the backlog is? Several times I have looked and still I don't get the work. One day last week, almost 200 jobs on my primary account (not sure if it still is) and then an hour later, nothing! Of asking us to switch our hours? I don't see how that is going to help if there is no work at many different times during the day. Of a CP saying we need to contact CTL to get a list of abbreviations allowed for a cetain account?

Fluency "upgrade" is.

Yet we still don't have the fuzzy physician search fixed or the question marks by the physician names in the ADT, or control-arrow moving to the end of the word instea ...

Where The Finger Should Point

So much ire and angst pointed at MTSOs. I even read where the TAT is a marketing ploy :) It helps to remember that we're all in the same boat and for the same reasons, to support ourselves. What so many of you don't seem to get is that the INSURANCE industry is dictating much of the TAT. If reports aren't on a chart in xxx time then the facility/physician is dinged financially. If an MTSO doesn't meet TAT, they are dinged financially. So they a ...

With 30 years of experience over many platforms (16 of which are from home), what is the point of applying to any of these companies? They are few and far between. They certainly do not want to pay anyone what they are worth (since they can just outsource on the cheap)... Most of the time you don't get a response from any of them anyway, not here and not on MTDaily either. ...
0.5 Point Taken Off For Blanks SM
Apr 11, 2013
I just looked at my review for March and I see all these 0.5 deductions for "blank filled in by reviewer." There are also Valid Blanks that take off no points. Sorry if this has been asked but did they say they were going to do this? And if so, when? Also, I listened to these blanks. There is no way they can tell me 100% what was said in any of them, which is why I blanked them. So they are guessing. Two reports I have gone through so far are for real ...

If the backlog is low, I can't say screw it and go back to bed, I work until there is no work. And the Smart Summary, I have no idea what the purpose of that is, anyone? Quality and blanks reports,hum, no idea there either. Talk about waste of money and justifying your existence, not to mention wasting my time. ...

QA/MT From A Peons Point Of View
May 11, 2011
PA MT and others -- I have recently started for a company, where I am transcribing as well as doing QA/Management. Getting paid hourly for one and salary for the other. At some point down the road, I will probably be hiriing MTs as well. It is not easy, because I started out doing QA, then, having to transcribe on several accounts to make siure that when QA is done, it is done properly. Another thing to be considered when there is "lack of work" is the fact that there might be ...

Employees who can do most of their work via email and phone, such as employment recruiters,statisticians or analysts. Less-skilled, lower-paid workers, such ...
