Much more than usual, and this practice of spelling seems to be escalating.
Wish they spelled correctly though - TXMT

Really cringe when they spell a medication wrong.
Regarding spelling a lot, I've found that - there are

2 main reasons why doctors spell out simple words: They've been getting a lot of bad reports, or they're residents and don't realize some of us have been doing this since before they were born.

Lately The Doctors Have Been Spelling Out So Many Common Words Jun 11, 2014Lately the doctors have been spelling out so many common words, some are even enunciating fully now, which is nice, the enunciating not the spelling, that wastes my time..Makes me think that our out of country counterparts are maybe messing up in a HUGE way..Most of us know the words/phrases/slang they use and fix it. I just see so much in docqumanage that makes my jaw drop. ...
Doctors Who Keep Words To A Minimum May 10, 2011I have a doctor on one of my accounts who LOVES to dictate as few words as possible. VR picks it up really well; that's not the problem.
How do you handle thpse reports that need to be fleshed out so much? Personally, I don't think he should be on VR since you need to add so many words that the pay rate becomes next to nothing for his reports.
Example: 71 year old. Followup. Pain. Arm.
Flesh it out or leave it be? ...

Spelling Versus Not Spelling Feb 11, 2011I never thought I'd say this, but a dictator can do too much spelling. There is one at my company who spells out every single medication. While this is normally helpful, this doctor's pronounciation leaves a little to be desired. It would be much simpler for him to just say the name of the medication. ...

Tonight The MM ASR Is Particularly Bad! Dec 26, 2013And they wonder why my count is not up to par??!! I told my QAM that my production depends almost entirely on the quality of the ASR (of which there is none!). I am also so sick of the fact ASR will not output "the patient" and will only output patient. And, I know if I don't add in every single little "the" or "a", I will be dinged and shredded. It still can't get "HEENT:" correct anymore. Along with the fact they haven't fixed the ADT question mark problem they caused over ...

No Work On TT Tonight Feb 01, 2011Hi Everyone:) Is anyone else having trouble getting work tonight? I am on 3 accounts, and all I have gotten since this afternoon is 3 jobs. My main account has no work and my 2 secondary accounts have no work, and they told me that they give first pick of the jobs to the girls who work primarily on my 2 secondary accounts. I have the other secondary accounts in case I run out of work, so what good is it to have those? Sorry, just need to let it all out. Thanks ...
Doc Apologized Tonight Dec 23, 2011for spelling words for me. "Oh, I forgot I don't have to spell for you. That's only for the company in India that does work for the other hospital I go to." He has no accent, spoke a little quickly but certainly not bad and was basically a good dictator. WAKE UP to those in charge of outsourcing!

ASR Bull Tonight Dec 15, 2013ASR has gone slap crazy tonight. Just had a female dictator who has been on ASR for a while, usually very good reports. 11 minutes of one big ole solid paragraph, took 45 minutes to strighten the mess out. How in the world can we make money if we only do 1-2 reports every hour. This is just insane, every ASR so far into this shift has been problematic. ...
TTS Interview Tonight Apr 02, 2014It looks to me like a 50:50 blend of pros and cons regarding TTS on MT Stars Company board. I'm a glass-half-full type gal, so looking forward to interviewing tonight. Before I do, I'd love to know opinions on eScription vs. Dictaphone platforms. I've used eScription in the past and hated it, due to being constantly badgered about using the mouse. I refuse to give up my mouse. Some people are faster with the mouse, others with keystrokes. Wonder ...

Dear MQ/Cbay ILP Who I QA'd Tonight Apr 23, 2011If you can't hear parts of the dictation, leave a QA marker. It looks really bad when the client is on 100% for ILPs and all you did was copy and paste an old progress note with a few changes to the impression and plan. Seriously?! Did you listen to any of the dictation? Cuz it didn't come close to matching up.
Sure, the dictator was difficult and hard to hear, but I could hear enough to know that what the ILP typed didn't even come close to what was said, ...
Mind-numbing ESL Tonight Apr 25, 2011I remember reading recently on here about monotonous female ESL dictators. Well I have one right now and it sounds like she has placed her lips directly onto the receiver to speak. This is so frustrating! I'm about to tear my hair out. My shift can't end soon enough tonight. I am so burnt out from this job, just scraping by isn't getting it with my family anymore. And yes, I have been looking elsewhere but there's just nothing. My son wants to take his girlfriend to the ...

They were saying that they got SS numbers, credit card numbers, and all sorts of personal information that would make it easy for identity theft to occur. They also said that on the black market, medical records bring far more money per record than credit card numbers. They even said during the report that this wasn't a ...
