Almost all the dictations suck today

Almost all the dictations are coming through so muffled, I can't tell "S" from "F" and not even sure I'm hearing TIA correctly, which you'd think would be obvious. The dictators themselves are okay, but the quality of the sound is really bad. ...

Then how come I passed a test for another company with flying colors and am waiting for a call from recruiter, not getting my hopes up, but hopefully they do cal -- serioulsy I need something to hold on to, just got another e-mail reminding me about how much I do suck :( ...

Nothing like passing the 5-report audit with 99.5+ only to receive a minor error on an individual report followed by a major error on another report returned from the client all in the same day. Lovely. Seriously considering going to the other dark side and hanging out at N until my coding training and my MBA are finished. ...

I am writing this email to inform you that tonight will be my last night with Nuance Transcription Services. Over my many years in the workforce, I must say this is the first resignation letter I have penned without any sense of melancholy fondness for the job I am leaving behind. No, instead, it is a feeling of liberation from "time served." For the past 7 months, I have put in my time here at Nuance, suffered through many countless hours of horrible voice recognition files, made next to ...

For the past 2 days, I have been on an account with very short dictations - clinic notes that average between 7 and 30 lines. I am making less than minimum wage - it takes a certain amount of time just to do the ADT info and of course they are all ESL doctors. I don't have a primary and I certainly hope this account doesn't end up as my primary. Anyone have any tips on how to make money on these short little dictations? ...

Why is it that not taken into the equation of our pay is the fact that most residents, PAs, CNP, CNM, etc., do not pronunciate, have correct grammar, or the fact that they just don't dictate adequately in general? I spend way too much time looking up, confirming, trying to figure out what they are saying as they laugh, slur, set the phone down under paperwork while flipping through charts and sign papers (can hear this often), or constantly move the phone around where all I hear is cr ...

I just got done with a job where for the last minute the kid kept saying "daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daaaaaddddy, daaaddddy... etc" for literally over a minute. He just kept on talking like it was nothing. I on the other hand was telling the kid to be quiet!!! Don't think he heard me! ...

Hi! I am currently taking my MT final. My problem is, I am having LOTS of trouble understanding some of the dictations. Is there any tips/tricks to help understand some words that are dictated? Thanks! ...

When you have a dictation with a template that you have to pull in and it is ASR (why they ASR this is beyond me) do you hit the F11 to clear it out since it takes longer to move junk around. ...

Seriously, I wonder if there is a way to record these dictations. I would LOVE to hear for myself the "errors" QA/QC are always finding and putting into Fiesa. The fact that we are not provided with proof of these "errors" really concerns me. Please Nuance bigwigs, prove to me that QA/QC isn't making things up or hearing things wrong. Really, are we to believe that we are the only ones making mistakes, that they always have perfect hearing? I want proof! ...

I think all dictations at Nuance should be partial dictation worktype. Wtih "partial dictations, you don't have to do as much checking of demographics, figuring out date of service and filling that in, etc., and not having to pend and leave comments so mcuh. I notice I'm about 75 lines faster an hour when it's partial dictations because there's less outside-the-report activity to be done. This is extra activity we dont' even get paid for. After all, MTs are only paid ...

At my company (a smaller one) there are a lot of mistakes in the normal dictations that the doctors request. The way they are created in the first place is the transcriptionist types up the report and sends it to QA saying the doctor would like to use this in the future for his normal, but I don't think they get reviewed by QA. I think they just get created the way they are. So if it was a right eye, the word right is there all the way through it. If a word is misspe ...

Oh my gosh. It's driving me crazy. I end up making about 8 dollars an hour trying to interpret these jerks. Why can't they slow down and realize the quality of what they're doing? ...

As long as you (doc) dictate on a cell phone, I PROMISE to leave blanks in your reports!! RIDICULOUS! This company does not pay us enuf to struggle through that crap. Blankity, blank, blank, blank... ...

As of yesterday, I can barely hear some of the dictations. Am I the only one? I hate it when I have to struggle to make out what in the hell some rapidly-speaking ESL doctor is saying! ...

Is anyone else at Nuance getting foreign doctor dictations constantly during their shift? I do not mind doing a few at a time but having to do a full shift of foreign doctors is getting very trying. Thanks! ...

Every time I get a stellar report I go through the mourning process, because I know if they're great for me I won't be getting them again. Bummer! ...

She is advised to suck thumbs to get relief This is what the doctor is dictating. Or may be I am hearing it wrong, any advise will be appreciated ...

Worked as an IC 20+ years. Now having to work for a service. The account I do rarely has a dictation longer than one minute. It takes It takes a LOT longer to research, log demographics than it does to actually transcribe. At home I did 1200 to 1800 lines a day. With this account I can't even do one third of that! The doctors apparently have no idea that their MTs are in different parts of the US, that we have to research the spelling of doctor's names, counties, cities, faciliti ...

Yeah, it came in like: "Within the belfry San Francisco heated the tripod and pumpkin blazed with endometriosis...." The WHOLE report didn't have three words consecutively that made the least bit of sense or had anything to do with what was dictated. "Fix" it? You gotta be kidding. Wipe it out and transcribe as dictated, you mean. Oh, and here's your half line rate, thanks! You SR transcription companies MAKE ME SICK. ...

I tried to go back and listen to a dictation that I got docked on in fiesa. I got an error message saying I needed Active-X which I installed, but still cannot get the audio to play. Any suggestions? is there someone I should contact about this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! ...

Is anyone having problems with DQS taking a LONG time to download dictations? This is ridiculous! ...

WOO HOO! I landed a private account. I have looked online to find a reliable FTP server or the like for sending the completed files back to the clinic. Would any of you be so kind to let me know of reliable ones that are inexpensive or free? I'd be forever grateful!! Cruisinlady ...

I could use some help on loading dictations from Windows Media Player to ES They say ( .wpl ) is not supported ...

By this time in the day, usually, there has been at least 7 emails - several from QA, at least 2-3 backlog updates, and 1 reminder to work our shift and work our entire shift. ...

Seriously, if not, they should. Some docs just repeatedly have horrible dictations. I'm not talking about accents or anything like that. I'm talking such horrible mumbling it's ridiculous. Or talking to far away from the mic. Or apparently trying to dictate in a hurricane. Or trying to dictate over a crying baby. And on and on. Once in a while, fine. But when it is constant...when I see that doc's name get pulled up and I instantly know the horror that will soon fol ...
