assist with mopping! I love how ASR at least tries to stay in context even if it is dead wrong, like when it picks up background conversations! It throws in some medical terms and tries to make sense.

Cough Assist May 17, 2010I'm transcribing a rehab H&P and they use the term Cough Assist a lot. It came in thru ESC as cough assist, but I'm finding that it's CoughAssist or Cough Assist, trademarked, on a lot of hits on Google. Does anyone know if it's supposed to be upper case or lower case? The sentence is "Continue with cough assist b.i.d." ...

Mobile Assist Info Apr 20, 2013Was offered a job by this company but once they sent the email requesting all of my personal information, I felt uncomfortable sending my information to them. I know that is normal when you are hired for a position but the way they went about it, and the amount of information they required, copies of things, etc., plus wanting access to my computer immediately, but a work start date of more than a month away - made me just question sending my info to them, so I didn't. ...

ASR And The English Language Jul 22, 2011Okay..... anyone else having trouble with ASR translating the English language tonight? For the most part I have pretty good dictators, but for some reason ASR is having trouble recognizing the English language tonight... I (or anyone for that matter) should not have this much editing on clearly speaking English dictators!!!!!

As Far As The English Speaking, Think Not Jul 04, 2013Let me tell you what happened to me the other day. I am traveling next week to Houston. I called a hotel there to make reservations. I said my name and then since it is sort of a long one, said let me spell that for you. Well no matter how much spelling I did, breaking it down into slow, 3 letters at a time, the person NEVER got it on the other end. I spelled the last name probably a total of 6 times total. In order to get confirmation through my email, it is my last name and then first and you ...
SR/VR - The Demise Of The English Language Nov 10, 2012Once facilities start using VR/SR or having a physician use Dragon/canned reports, they should realize that as long as a report is "medically correct" (i.e., the correct spelling of a medical word) that is as good as the report should be. Does anybody really think Dr. Jones is going to make a complete coherent sentence as he is dictating; or, Dr. Shaleplcakeeoa (made up name) is going to make a sentence that makes sense in English versus his own interpretation of the English language?  ...
What If Doctor Doesn't Speak English?? Mar 09, 2010I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...

I Am So Sick Of Foreigners Who Can't Speak English! Feb 14, 2011They expect us to understand their Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Hispanic accents when they can't even put a simple English sentence together! The hospitalists are the worst. I think they hire them right off the boat from their overseas countries and put them to work in the hospitals-- probably as cheap as they can get them, and then put them on VR. My MTSO increased their line requirements for this year and with over 30 years' experience, I struggle ...
ESL Speaking In English And Native Language??? Jun 10, 2014For the last several weeks I have been sending reports for a particular MD to QA with lots of blanks. No problems with other MDs or PAs, just that one. Found out a couple of days ago that I'm not the only one sending lots of blanks back for the same MD. Finally got a couple of my QAs back and there was a notation that the facility is working with this MD to take English classes because the blanks have been words/phrases from the native language. Seriously?!?! I ...

Spelling/grammatical Mistakes: English First Language Feb 23, 2013I have noticed, when interviewing for certain companies, some obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes in the emails I receive from them. While these companies strive for perfection in accuracy (which includes spelling words right and marking possession with an apostrophe, mind you), sometimes it looks like their emails have been written by ESL employees.
It's weird that after speaking with some of these people, their writing skills don't match their speaking skills. Maybe I'm j ...
I Hate Being Required To Transcribe Rotten English May 30, 2014"Strictly verbatim" makes me sick, especially when we now have - what? - maybe 60 to 70% ESL dictators on many accounts. I can't begin to tell you how rotten some of my dictators are, but you can only change it if it's so bad that it's incomprehensible. Otherwise, leave the stench alone.
It's actually wearing me down mentally and emotionally.

Seriously, How Did I Ever Manage 25 Years In This Business If I Can't Pass An English Grammar/m Aug 03, 2010I think some of these companies are pushing their luck. They either like you or they don't. Some of these tests are too easy. Some of them led me to believe I was applying for an internship after medical school. I admit I had to look up some of the answers because I didn't train to become a pediatric medical transcriptionist. Since when do we have MT specialty certficates? I have transcribed just about everything they can do to you in a uni ...

Lousy Dictators - Crappy, Hard To Understand Dictators, Both ESL And English-speaking May 17, 2014Today I will make less than half of what I normally get because all I've gotten today are crappy, hard to understand dictators, both ESL and English-speaking. Seems like all I get lately are the hard to understand, mush-mouth dictators. Guess Nuance doesn't want their MTs making quota. Sorry. I just had to vent. ...

Oh "Phil" If Only You Truly Understood The English Language Jan 29, 2015So I finally decided to submit a remedy ticket about the months coming through not capitalized (have you all noticed this?). I explained that when a complete date is dictated it seems to do fine, but if the month is just used in a sentence, such as "in September" they are not capatlized. When is a month not supposed to be capitalized? These used to be correct but for many months now they haven not been.
So I get a call from "Phil" who wants me to explain the problem. He doesn't ...
