Does DQS7.1 know - what a comma is???

Posted: Sep 13, 2012

I spend much more time editing than I used to because of no commas in lists of meds, etc. Come on!! I can't believe they couldn't program the *&$# thing better than that. And the HEADER thing!?! Willy-nilly-free-for-all headers. My Rant for Today. Thank you.

why cant it learn a comma either? - Ive been adding, and adding, and adding

Another useless program.

DQS 7.1 Comma Issue - I like it overall, but...

...that darn comma thing. The ASR used to insert the comma between meds and labs, and now nothing. Also, the headings thing. It used to just automatically makeheadings that were in the heading list (albeit, whether we wanted a heading or not), but now it seems to just make will-nilly stuff, like Patient as a red-tagged heading.

i could ask the same question of a lot of MTs - ginger

As a QA, I find that people are quite lazy with commas. I'm talking about obvious ones. Like for some reason no one seems to be putting a comma after the year in a full date. Example: The patient came in June 21, 2012 to the ER. That is pretty elementary!

I could ask the same question - of QA

I put commas in and they take them out; I don't put a comma in and they add one.

and now that i think of it...how about periods too - ginger

I get so many run on sentences that need to be broken into like 3 or 4 separate sentences or even just 2 compounds sentences. A couple of short complete sentences separated by "and" is fine by me, but any more than that and you need to add punctuation whether the dictator states it or not.

On the other hand as well, don't use so many commas. I abhore sentences that are constantly separated by comma after comma after comma after comma...Doesn't anyone know how to use a semicolon or a period anymore?

I used to do QA - ...and you are correct

It's pretty horrendous, and I don't know if you've noticed or not, but the schools aren't teaching our young kids anything about anything. They don't know how to properly construct a sentence.

I also think some people have become tired of fixing ASR messes year after year after year...

I figure - that if

they want to pay me half the price to use a ridiculous program like ASR, then they need to fix it where it knows how to punctuate because I am not wasting my time on anything that does not affect patient care like commas, is/was, etc. They even tell you not to over-edit, but QA wants to pick at commas.

This company has never, ever introduced new software or a new account that did not have to have its intro postponed. You would think they might have learned by now not to make any announcements until all the kinks are worked out but no, not MQ. Yet the MTs have to be 99% accurate. Everyone else can just goof off. ...

I have a problem quite often, both in ASR when correcting or straight typing, where for some reason, the text from one line will drop to the next line when it clearly hasn't gotten to the end of the line I'm typing on...leaving only 1/2 line of text. This happens quite a bit. Anyone else having this happening? ...

Our region is scheduled to start DQS7 in a couple weeks, and we were required to watch the training video - way ahead of our start time. I don't think I'll be able to do this!! They talk about keystrokes I've never heard of, the fonts in the demo were so small I could barely read anything, They talked about pushpins I never did find! Is this as awful as it looks? Getting nervous. ...

as I thought. In fact, I did not sleep last night and my stomach was in a knot before I started work this morning. Basically, I worried myself sick for nothing. I am glad, however, that I went over the tutorials one more time last evening, so I think that really helped. Though the screen is visually different, most of the commands are still the same. The first report was slow going, took about 45 minutes to do because I was being sooooo very caref ...

Just starting DQS7.1 today and wondering about spacing between paragraphs. In ASR, when the dictator says next paragraph, it goes to the next line. Is this correct, or do I need to insert a hard return to make a like between the paragraphs? Anybody know? Don't want to mess up the formatting. ...

I have 1/2 the required RAM, told by a microsoft website techie through a Serv Man ticket that DQS7 has shown to work OK with 890 RAM instead of 2. The MQ computer is struggling now AGAIN like last time when the system went down with the major upgrade - slow whirring computer, always downloading or updating Kapersky or some mystery software or action. Speech is so slow I have to wait for it to correct - this especially in long jobs. Anyone else have these intermittent - but lon ...

Back from vacation. Logged into the new 7 version - would not work. Tried a few times. Called Support. 1-1/2 hours - no luck - they will contact Advanced Support. Will try again tomorrow. They estimate it will take 2-3 hours to fix it. Meanwhile CCM instructed to do straight typing on version 6. Like heaven - the old days. Anyone else have this experience ? TIA ! TGIF ! ...

In DQS6, where the screen color was determined by what you set Windows colors, I had a nice pale green which is very easy on the eyes. And what's up with the dark grey highlight for SR!? Harder to see the black text underneath. Shesh, these changes from DQS6 where definitely made by people who do not have to look at a computer screen all day. I will never forget the day I was looking for a specific keyboard and the computer salesmen did not comprehend why I was so picky. They had ...
