ASR vs straight typing - sick and tired

I'm just a tad embarrassed but I need to ask. I just applied for a job that is "straight typing" but I don't know what that means. Can anyone help me? Thanks. ...

I am currently straight typing and hate it, so I'm looking for a VR job with some straight typing thrown in every now and then. Thank you! ...

Hi everyone. I am putting in applications and I want to apply at jobs with straight typine, no VR. If anyone knows of any, please let me know. The VR is boring and while none of them pay the way they used to, I know that I could make more on straight typing...I have 9 years experience. ...

Are there any accounts at Nuance that are straight typing and not VR? I find with VR I still have to make so many corrections it doesn't justify the pay per line so I might as well go back to straight typing, if those accounts even exist anymore. ...

Hmm, let's see. We get a letter from MQ extolling our virtues as MTs, more and more info about nationalizing the EMR with Verizon, etc. and I notice I'm not the only one getting less ASR, more direct typing. Could be a coincidence, but could be MQ is gathering statistics on us, how the voice recognition program of MQ compares with our production as MTs versus straight typing on our own. Could MQ be using us as guinea pigs right now to pad their statistics to prove the ...

I've been away from the msg boards awhile. Is there any company out there big or small, that still does transcription the "Old fashioned way", typing instead of VR? I've tried the VR, Hate it, make no money. Surely there is a company out there somewhere that still values us and pays decently?? anyone? ...

Does anyone else out there get scared when you get a straight typing report? Every time I get a straight typed report, the dictator sucks, sound quality sucks, or both. I am totally scared every time a blank screen pops up. Don't mean to sound unappreciative of the increased income, but sometimes I feel like I am being pulled through a needle backwards! ...

Does Oracle have straight typing and SR? ...

Really don't like VR. ...

I have a pretty good and accurate typing speed, which has made me pretty good money in the past. Then along comes VR. I have had somewhat success with it, if the right dictation is placed on it. The problem comes in when a company tries to put anything and everything on VR that does not belong there. It defeats the purpose of using it in the first place. I am told that the computer calculates the accuracy of a report. If it is 80% or more, it goes on VR. ...

Which can you make the most money from? I have the chance to do one or the other and wanted some opinions from others before deciding. Thanks. ...

I used to love my job, being an at-home medical transcriptionist. I used to make around $20-25 an hour straight typing and thought being an at-home medical transcriptionist was the best job ever! The flexibility of working from home and flexing my hours was great! I could get the kids off to school, work for a couple of hours, go shopping, work for a couple of hours, just so I made production requirements and everything was great! Unfortunately, things changed and they started making us ...

Does anyone know if Accupro is straight typing? ...

Does TransTech have any accounts that are straight typing? Are their transcriptionists employees or IC? Thanks in advance. ...

Does anyone know of a company that has also straight typing too?? I know VR is here to stay but I think it is not a good fit for me anymore. ...

Where oh where do people find these straight typing jobs? If you don't want to share your company I completely understand, but could you possibly point me in the right direction? Thanks so much!! ...

I was never given a minimum LPH, but I feel I'm not getting a good line count. I've been here about a couple months, straight typing, Ambulatory. Just wondering what others are averaging and any tips to improve line count? I've been doing this for 10 years, but have always been paid hourly before coming here. ...

I am pretty sure I know the answer but need to prove it. I know Nuance is primarily VR with some typing accounts. If you get a doctor who is on VR and you decide to type it instead of using VR you will get the pay per line for VR not straight typing? ...

Or do I just need to bite the bullet and start doing VR? My job is straight typing 9-5 M-F! Perfect right? Not anymore. I'm an eTransplus employee and the big shot MQ bought them out, so I can either go to work for them or I can look at other jobs with other companies. I doubt there are any straight typing jobs left right? If so, they will probably switch over soon huh? Would like to know if anyone is doing ok on VR with the company you're wit ...

Does anyone know what Keystrokes is offering to pay for the straight typing jobs? Thinking of applying. thanks! ...

I left the Q (thank heavens) and now doing straight typing. Before the voice wreck I was transcribing 200 to 250 lph and now with this new job with word (horrible program) I can't get above 150 lph. What's wrong with me or is it the program? Just don't understand. Thx ...

Hi, just wondering what you think someone should charge per page for straight typing? ...

Ok everyone, need some advice please. At my old company I was straight typing and doing probably 1800 lines daily. I go do a new company and speech rec is all they have with probably 1% straight typing. I've been losing on the average of $600 per pay period as a result of speech rec. How the heck can I get back the money I was making doing straight typing? ...

Little errors here and there. The influence of what SR has put out on what should be heard and the constant struggle with how much of the SR ouptut is wrong along with the loss of train of thought from having to stop so many times to correct, delete, move takes its toll. Some of the errors I see, I can barely believe I left. Although, I probably didn't delete enough. SR, in so many ways, is going to be the death of me. :-{ ...

I have over 15+ years experience but stopped working in November of 2010 to be at home with my two young boys and give them my full attention. Now that they are both in school, I am wanting to start back typing again. I have looked on several sites but mostly all I find is VR or SR jobs, which I despise. Can anyone tell me of any places that hire for straight typing? Thanks! ...
