Dont know why they dont tone it down a notch or two..the dial tones register as something stupid,,everytime they clear their throat, or now turn a page..It never did that so unscrew what you screwed up..

I had a doctor cough during a dictation, and it honest-to-God printed "cough." I know it was just a coincidence, but it made me laugh, and get a creepy feeling, all at the same time.

Well, I'm Doing It Again, Cherry Picking Feb 16, 2010Because earlier this morning I transcribed a job where the dictator was absolutely flipping his s**t about some of his reports not coming out exactly the way he wants them. He went on and on, in a very condescending tone, as if I were a first-grader who belonged in the "slower class."
I took the time to transcribe his rant verbatim into an e-mail which went to my supervisor, my leads, as well as the QA team, with the request that someone please look over the report to make sure I had done my pa ...
Picking The Right School Mar 16, 2010I am trying to find a school to get a medical transcription certification. There seem to be so many, but Penn Foster's seems the most affordable. To anyone with experience/knowledge is this a good school that will enable me to find work once completed? ...
WHAT IS QA NIT-PICKING & OVER-EDITING? Mar 23, 2012What is QA "nit-picking & over-editing?" Are the demands for perfection in what is now considered a low payscale & wage unrealistic and exploitive to workers? Looking for all feedback & thank you in advance for any input. ...
Seems Like Some Cherry Picking Was Going On... Apr 09, 2012I don't know what else could have explained it. I work at Transcend and got on this evening to work and had 3 reports staring at me first in my q that were from a hard dictator and were STATs that had been OUT OF TAT since 10-11 AM this morning. It would appear they had been skipped all day. I don't know how because I don't know how to cherry pick if I wanted to. Have never tried to. It isn't fair to other MTs. How else could it have happen ...
Cherry Picking??? Nov 05, 2012Today there was a memo regarding cherry picking. How can we be cherry picking in DQS? The CMT says that she knows who is doing it. That we are logging in and out to get our favorite dictators. I didn't know it was possible to do this. ...

Cherry Picking Dec 07, 2014I have a question. On my account I type a few notes a week, rest is all VR. So, when I see typed notes in my que, I may not take lunch or something so I can hurry up and get that note. I can type almost as fast as I can edit. My problem is this. At a certain time of day, someone comes on their shift and picks out all the typed notes and leaves me the VR. They also take good speakers. I see it ALOT. How do they do this?
Can I block it?
It's happened so much that now I check ...
Selective Picking Mar 27, 2015They wonder WHY so many have quit ???? I know they know what is going on, it is everywhere, many emails complaining about it, this board, other boards. One thing is certain, sooner or later, the ones that are "in charge" and those that selectively chose which jobs to complete and get away with it because of favoritism, will have to do them all because more are close to quitting. So tired of the dishonesty here. I have had it! I would rather pick food with the chickens th ...
Further Indications Of Cherry-picking Apr 08, 2012One of the absolute WORST dictators from my accounts had a gazillion jobs in the queue this morning, all about the same time stamp (must have been downloaded all at once). I started slogging through them, and after a couple hour,s noticed that his backlog was moving a lot faster. Soon, no more jobs from him were coming into my queue, and I was getting jobs from other doctors. I went to lunch, came back, and lo and behold, a couple of jobs from this doctor, now about 3 or 4 hours older.&nbs ...

Cherry-picking Email. Dec 28, 2012I didn't think cherry picking was even possible at Nuance. I like the idea of cutting cherry pickers off at the knees though. However, I am pretty sure the real cherry picking is sending all of the easy stuff to India and leaving us with the difficult work types and dictators. ...

I CAN'T STAND CHERRY PICKING Nov 06, 2013There's major cherry pcking going on at my job and there's nothing I can do about it and it makes me soooo mad that I'm considering finding a new job. The "best work" is being funneled to one MT and it's so not fair to the rest of the staff. To MTSO's - Would you rather have 1 happy MT or a staff full of happy MTs???? Doesn't make sense to me. ...
Cherry Picking At Synernet??? Jan 16, 2014Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with rarely ever getting to work on your primary account because you can really rack up some lines on it, only to be given crappy thick accented dictators? The reason I ask, is if work has been slow, then why are the dictations I have been getting in the evening shifts been dictated at 9 and 10 in the a.m.? Shouldn't those have been done during the day shift? I don't know how much more I can take of this place!!! ...
How Cherry-picking MTs Benefit Me. Feb 07, 2014On 1 account that I work on, there are a couple of dictators who are the worst of the worst. They actually should be reported to their superiors. Many times each day, these reports are downloaded by MTs who simply return them and rather have no work than try to decipher what these idiots spew out. I admit they are very difficult and many times impossible, as I see where QA returns them to the client with blanks, even after additional ears have given a listen.
What I have done ...
Cherry Picking Is Wrong Oct 07, 2014Cherry picking is wrong no matter how you look at it. That being said, I believe very strongly that being paid by productivity fosters that very thing! People who are desparate to make a living sometimes resort to doing things that they would not normally do. Add to that the fact that apparently some MTSOs PUNISH employees who do not meet minimum productivity requirements!! When did we start treating medical transcription like factory work???!!! I FIRMLY THINK THAT WE NEED TO BE PA ...

Well I Thought Work Was Picking Up For Me But I Was Wrong! Sm Jan 30, 2013For the 1st time in quite a while a actually got all my hours in yesterday and thought, Okay the slump is finally over...I was wrong. I am 2 hours into my shift today and have had nothing. You all are talking about being asked to change shifts, well I am not getting any work on even Saturdays anymore. I have (with permission) clocked on in the evenings to make up some time and still no work. I will not change my schedule. When I asked my abbreviation why my ac ...

TT--told Several Times Cherry Picking Does Not Happen. Jun 13, 2011I have all 8 hours worth of ESLs too. Hey, check my number gladly...it surely is not a FAV number by any means. Had a great account. One day I got a call to get off because the supervisor wanted it! Was taken off completely and now the entire account is gone.
The programs are such that they can block off a whole grouping and assign it to one person. They think because you don't see the manager as they do, you are stupid. But I guess we are for work ...
Know With Certainty Supervisor Is Cherry Picking Jobs. Feb 25, 2014Whenever I'm working and she is off, the incoming jobs are typical good, bad and indifferent with alternating different dictators, which is okay, just the usual. But, when she is working, there is nothing but bottom of the barrel crappola dictators, with no rotation until one is done dictating it's block and then another lousy one comes on with another huge block of blah blah crap. Never a good one in the bunch - unless, of course, she is gone. Coincidence? I think not. ...
Employer Picking And Choosing Which Bennies To Give Me Mar 10, 2014I've been working for these people for 7 months as a full-time employee. I have recently changed careers in the medical field and the administrator knows this and he knows i am searching for a job in my new career, which he supported me in. It's time to order uniforms for the office staff (they provide 4 sets) and he tells me he wants me to write a letter stating that I am not leaving or searching for another job before he orders my uniforms because he does not want to pay ...
To The 1 Person Cherry-picking On My Primary Account Dec 12, 2014You know who you are, and I know who you are. I have been watching you do this for months now. Whether you realize it or not, while you are playing this game, switching back and forth from VR and typing, logging off and logging on depending on the dictators, you are causing a decrease in my production. You have been around long enough to know if there are numerous reports in typing from yesterday, you should not be on VR doing the easy reports dictated just an hour ago tod ...
Learn From My Mistake About Picking A Good Coding Program Jan 20, 2012I am in my last semester of an HIT program at my local community college. This program is accredited through CAHIIM. I actually found this program on the AHIMA website as an approved AHIMA coding program and was so excited that it was in my hometown. Well, almost two years later and $4000 in student debt, I still have no idea how to code. Sure, I'm great at Math 101 and English 101 and my anatomy is amazing, but I have no idea how to code. One class that I have ...
