I hope those of you who delete skip markers - are not the same who complain about ASR not learni


Posted: Sep 10, 2010

Just a thought.  I'd rather not have ASR learn too much.  If it gets too good, I'm out of work (more than usual anyway).

ASR has not learned much since the get go in my opinion..don't complain, actually like doing ASR..

Sometimes mine automatically puts in a - anon

skip marker for more than 5 words, sometimes not - just deletes. I "undo" it and manually put in a skip marker. This upgrade is ridiculous.

I totally agree with you - I B no dummy

Ever since my first ASR conference training call, I had a hunch the better the system got, the closer I was to being out of a job. I had to hold my tongue when I heard a couple of other anal MTs get overly concerned about learning the ASR system rules. It was like MQ planted them in the call to brainwash us that this system will be so good for the MT. Their voices really sounded like that used-car salesman doing the 6.1 training video. Wdo you think is the ultimate goal of ASR? If you think it's to make us shine as an MT, I beg to differ.

Skip Markers
Jan 25, 2010

I got a call from MQ regarding the amount of <skip> markers in my ASR reports.  I was told that there shouldn't be more than 3 to 5 skip markers in any given report???  This sounded absolutely ABSURD to me and I told them to give a listen to some of the reports I edit and explain to me how exactly I am suppose to accomplish that!  Has anyone been told that or something similar?  It doesn't seem to me that the "ASR machine" will learn if we simply do correctio ...

Used To Hope For Lots Of Work, Now I Hope For NJA Or To Be FIRED
Oct 09, 2013

This job is not worth the trouble.  It certainly does nothing for me when I open the "paycheck" every 2 weeks and see that despite my 40 "power hours" every week, I made less than last time.  No matter what, I cannot manage to make a decent living here any more.  I am over it.  Sad to admit, and yes, the shame is on me, but I do wish for NJA or even better, to be FIRED from this place.  Just had to get this off my chest before I burst into flames of fury at the horrid qu ...


A Little Holiday Message Of Hope (I Hope!)
Dec 10, 2013

Hi, everyone. A year or so ago, I read a message by a former transcriptionist who had gotten into medical school and was at last working as a physician. I'm sure it's still here in the archives somewhere; please forgive me for not digging it up. I remain grateful to that poster to this day. Yes, even if she was making it all up! It still inspired me so much. Last month I began work at only the second job I have ever held outside the MT field. It took me seemingly forever to find it, a ...

Should I Skip The RHIT And Go For RHIA?

So, I'm confused and could use some advice.  I am in an accredited HIT program all online to receive my AA degree and sit for the RHIT.  I have just two semesters left to complete the program.  I am very unhappy with the education I have received, and I am not sure I could even pass the RHIT.  I am considering quitting this program and enrolling in a bachelor program where I can sit for the RHIA (it's a healthcare informatics degree through WGU).  I am wonderin ...

Residents Skip Lectures To Chart
Oct 16, 2013

"Maisara Rahman, MD, who helps train family-medicine residents at a county hospital in Moreno Valley, California, noticed a while back that attendance at her lectures was falling off sharply. Dr. Rahman hadn't become boring all of a sudden. Other faculty members were noticing a lot of empty seats during their talks as well. Had the family medicine residents caught a slacker virus? No, it turns out that they were skipping lectures, lunches, and even an occasional rotation, said Dr. Rah ...

I'm fairly new to MQ and learning the skip marker thing.  Could someone please tell me, are we suppose to remove the markers that say <non-s>?  I've had so many reports that are FILLED with these markers.  Or, are they suppose to stay in? I'd appreciate input/answers.  Thank you, Happy. ...

Some Thoughts On The S Markers
Sep 16, 2010

I was wondering why in the new 6.1 version, it takes more words to get an automatic S marker inserter (highlighting words then using the delete button).  I used to have to count the words and if 5 or more, used to place the S marker.  I wonder why now the difference.  Do you think the Q keeps track of how many S markers are generally given in our documents as their ASR system is developed, and now wants to give themselves another pat on the back, exclaiming how their stellar ASR s ...


What Are These Non-s Markers Showing Up Now? Sm
Oct 31, 2010

Since the new upgrade 3 days ago, the ASR reports are showing continuously these red non-s markers....   Annoying.  And I don't hear in the report any lapses of time.   I thought this was supposed to be something that was manually put in, so my guessing is Yes, we are editing ILP work!!!!   Oh well, I am just ecstatic I now have high speed internet and now no longer at the mercy of dial up on top of NJA and other problems.   I actually do li ...

How Do We Check/uncheck QA Markers?
Mar 14, 2010

My first report of the day was an ESL (typical for a Sunday when that's all I get).  I had QA markers, but when I went to send the document, the QA box was already checked and I couldn't uncheck it.  I didn't think another set of ears would have heard what I couldn't.  Obviously this report went on to QA as I was given no choice.  Aren't we supposed to have a choice to check that box starting today? ...

Why Is MME Leaving QA Markers In My Reports? Sm
Oct 26, 2011

I had a few extremely difficult ESL dictations tonight and reluctantly sent them to QA, only to get them back with some of my QA markers listened to, and others left in the report.  I thought they had to listen to ALL of the QA markers and either correct them or blank them?  I thought we weren't supposed to send reports with QA markers in to the hospitals?  Is this just the MME not doing their job, or something else? By the way, 99% of my QA markers were turned into blanks b ...

Can I Access Markers In ExpressScribe?
May 08, 2012

When a doctor uses markers at the beginning of each patient's dication in a recording, how can I access those in Express Scribe when listening to it? I have e-mailed the company twice, and the first reply was totally unrelated to my question. There was no reply to the second query. I am currently using the free dl version of ExpressScribe but would glady upgrade to the $30 version if I was sure I could access the markers. Thanks for any help! ...

Frist Time Right - New Procedure For QA Markers
Mar 05, 2010

Okay so I am going round and round with this.  I understand that MQ will be using weekly figures to determine the submission rate.  I understand how the submission rate is calculated but what I cannot figure out is how they determine what lines to pay the reduced amount on.  My super's comment was that you will be paid the rate on everything after the 10% (3-14 - 5-1) or 5% (after 5-1) that is sent to QA.  So, maybe one of you posters out there, who is not visual ...
