Grrr - 20 minutes to do a 3-minute ASR job

Don't you hate when that happens. I was all stoked up to get some lines for once and what would you know. I should have known it was too good to be true. ...

Our quota is for minutes only. I average about 1400 lines a day though. We have to make 90 minutes then we make incentive. I do not hear anyone ever mention minutes. Thanks in Advance for the replies. :) ...

Is it too much to ask on my last shift before the weekend that I get some decent work? I swear the transcription gods are punishing me! ...

I was curious if any other MTs are getting paid by the minute too. Replies are welcomed. I am required to get 131 minutes for an 8 hour shift. We get incentive if over. We also use VR, so that helps, and we have weighted doctors. Thanks, MeL ...

Only warrants periodic scans. If anyone comes back at me for that, they can listen to 64 minutes of nothing themselves. If the doctor dictated, too bad he did not follow protocol = put the dictation on hold when not dictating or hang up the phone! ...

It appears to be only counting the active time to be the actual time the audio is playing and not all the time I spend in ADT and formatting. Looks like they may be manipulating the figure to ding people "for not actively working" for long periods of time. Hmmm, building another way to fire people? ...

Have 4 years experience. Mostly acute care/basic 4. Got a job offer for Radiology using Meditech platform and pay offered is $1 per dictated minute. This is an IC job. Haven't done radiology exclusively before and haven't been paid per dictated minute either. Thoughts? Thanks! ...

I typed AcipHex just liked the manufacturer spells it. Is this wrong? MME corrected it to Aciphex. How would you type it at MQ? ...

I AM SO MAD AT THEM. I retested with them today and they had the nerve to tell me that I did not have the minimum requirements for them. I thought I had a passing grade, wish I knew what their passing grade is? Any body know? If they do not want my services, then I should not offer them. ...

If I can not make up the time from this DQS downtime today I have been instructed to put in for "excused--no pay in Teamwork. Beyond frustrated... ...

Patient has 2 children. Further on down, C-section is dictated in the medical history, and MM ASR output is 2 C-sections! What the heck. 2 was not dictated! I am so sick of the crummy ASR after YEARS of promising us better, yet it gets worse. I have not been doing MOT because my hands hurt too much from the repetitive movements getting to the numerous corrections. I actually got a nice long straight typing job, and my hands stopped hurting. ...

Hi- going to generically ask this question: Do your supervisors always answer your emails or phone calls? Where I work, they are horrible about getting back to MTs and sometimes just simply do not. I am taliking about important questions about scheduling, which account to work on, software issues, etc., .............. It is frustrating! ...

I question things now that I never before questioned in my life! Thanks for any help. ...

Are there any companies that pay minutes or line count whichever equals the most? I have docs that leave a lot of air space on voice files. ...

Instead of wondering how many LPH one can do, I'm wondering how many minutes of editing a person should be doing in an 8-hour day. I'm asking this because this is a discussion in the company I work for right now. Thanks for any helpful replies. ...

did anyone log in after 15 minutes after scheduled time and still got in? I downloaded a job right at the very minute my shift should have been over and it still let me download a job. Just wandering if i can take an extra 15 minutes logging in at my next shift and still get in. Did not get a straight answer from ccm. She just said it will allow you 15 minutes ahead of time but nothing about logging in 15 minutes after. TYIA. ...

Can't work, can't make any money to pay light and internet bills so I can work! ...

There was a story on the people who lost their jobs. They have COBRA, but there are no jobs, unemployment pays $200/week or so, and COBRA insurance costs $1600/month (I can't remember the exact amount). So they are jobless, losing their homes because they can't pay their mortgages, moving in with other family members, who also have lost their jobs, and of course have no medical insurance. My heart went out to one woman when she just cried out that she didn't know where they ...

then maybe 1 or 2 short jobs and then NJA again - do we have to wait another 15 minutes or do you count the prevous 10 minutes of waiting and just wait 5 more minutes. I could go on all morning with waiting 8, 10, 12 minutes, then get 1 job, then wait 5 minutes, get a job and so on and so on. Should I just add the total wait time until I get to 15 minutes or do I need to have a solid 15 minutes before I can log off? ...

I am just getting back into transcription, and I forgot something. I am an independent contractor, and I want to work 5 hours a day. Roughly how many minutes would that translate into so I can ask my coordinator how many minutes to give me each day? *I know it's different for everyone, but I'm just looking for a rough estimate. ...

in the north region, anyone else? This is getting old! ...

Didnt sign off fast enough, couple more just came through..darn ...

Does anyone know about how many minutes the average radiology transcriptionists types? ...

How long does it take to transcribe 75 minutes of dictation? ...

how do you know you've been paid that time by looking at your pay stub? And does it show up on your time sheets as an adjustment by your CCM? The reason I ask is because I don't believe I have ever been paid this 15 minutes of time (the waiting time when we get NJA). I asked about this recently. I asked both my CCM and payroll, and my question was never answered...it was just swept under the rug as if I never asked. I am planning to call the labor department about this becaus ...

73 freakin' lines because of the way the dictator did. Very slow, lots of stopping and dead air, repeating himself. In fact, he dictated the Impression 5 times and would say correction and start over. He even had the nerve to laugh and snicker and said "to start over again". Wish I could reach through the computer, down all lines to wherever the **** this jerk is and rip his tonsils out by hand without anesthesia. ARG. Glad I'm done! And he is a ESL ...

What could "insilun" be?? She was conscious immediately after the fall but became lethargic over the *insilun* minutes... Thanks! ...

Does anyone know what 100 minutes of dictation equals in lines per 8-hour shift? ...

they send out email asking us to give up our weekend time to help out??? Uh, I don't think so. ...

Grrr - 20 minutes to do a 3-minute ASR job - dnr

I was told that everyone will be doing this - if not already

Ah, yes - Whatever they can possibly due to decrease line counts - tongue-in-cheek

what benefit does reducing line counts serve - sm
