Any ex-DSGers go to that training class yet? (sm) - Curiouser
Posted: May 07, 2012
I'm curious as to why it takes almost all day... is it just training on DQS or other stuff, too? And is there is a break for lunch and are there periodic bathroom breaks? I'm dying to know!
Its a lot of info they are lenient with breaks - and none of it is real life
[ In Reply To ..]You'll come out thinking ASR is the greatest thing since sliced bread and you go to work and find out very different..Docqscribe itself is one of the most user friendly programs I have ever been on, the ASR killed it though
I thought it was going to be some - crazy all day thing too...
[ In Reply To ..]but turns out it was 2 sessions at 2 hours each. No real need for breaks, but BOR-ING!
Are you all just now getting trained on VR? - have you been...
[ In Reply To ..]doing straight typing all this time? Wow.
Mine was two days, forget how many hrs a day - it was a waste of their money
[ In Reply To ..]but they paid me
I wish. (sm) - Original poster
[ In Reply To ..]I've been doing ASR for over 2 years and I never see a straight typing job nowadays. I have no idea what this class if for, but my original ASR training was mostly worthless, so if I pick up even a single tip that helps me, I'm grateful, plus I get to sit and not worry about production during the class, for which I am also grateful because any and all previous training (as well as conference calls) at DSG was UNPAID on my own time.
Yep at least it is paid. BUT, it was a complete waste of time - training us on stuff we already knew
[ In Reply To ..]I'm not sure why they thought we needed training on ASR that we've been doing for years on their software. There were only 1 or 2 things that were new, and it had to do with the upgrade to 6.1. Complete waste of time. We were supposed to be trained on things that were new to us, like Mmodal specs, etc. But like you said, DSG never paid for "required" meetings/training, so at least we got paid 4 hours for doing nothing ;)
Oh, I thought you all had been straight typing. - I was gonna say...lucky ducks!

Anyone Who Took CareerStep Class
Nov 09, 2009
A friend of mine is taking the CareerStep class for MT (although I tried to talk her out of it). Anyway she is in the transcription part, and using the disks that were supplied with the course. How did you listen to and transcribe from this. She put the disk in the disk drive of her computer, but there is no way to start/stop the dictation, etc. and I believe it would be very frustrating. Or are we both missing something? Did you use expresscribe or something and do ...

Teacher: Class, How Can We Be More Creative With MT Pay Gouging?
Oct 02, 2013
If a person types 60 words a minute (roughly six lines with 10 words per line), and it takes two minutes to type those six lines (roughly twice the amount of time as dictated), that equates to this: 30 minutes divided by 6 lines equals 5 cents, divided by 2 for the time factor of typing = 2.5 cents a line. I guess we are seeing the new low in the MT limbo dance. ...
