garbled mess ASR puts to Eliquis, for example, for a couple of years now & it still hasn't "learned" the term, I have doubts it's set to learn at all.... seriously....

the dictator coughed and SR heard "it has been"

I especially like when there will be a beeping - sm

in the background, and while the dictator is flipping quietly through the chart, it will transcribe the beeping as entire paragraphs of nonsense. Yeah, voice rec is so great they don't need us at all anymore...

And then there's - smmt

I used to type Dr. Mariwalla, but it always came up in SR as Dr. Marijuana.

I am thinking now, maybe we ALL need to see him.....

Do you correct the dictator's grammer? My 12 year old niece just recently corrected my mom when my mom said she was laying in bed. Taylor went on to explain the difference between laying and lying. I learned that in school but certainly had forgotten that rule. When the dictator says "The patient is laying in bed", do you correct it to lying? Just curious. I've had no complaints and I hate sending out dictation with grammatical errors. ...

Anyone ever had this happen? You spell something and you know it's right, plain and simple - however, the doctor corrects you on it, but its still wrong!! Do you spell it "wrong" -just for him only- to make him happy so he doesnt think you're not doing your job right or do you keep on spelling it "right", which he says is "wrong"? ...

Does anybody happen to know if there's a best way to correct VR to hopefully have it actually "learn"? For example, is it better to completely delete and reinsert the "respiratory" part in an error like "respiratory clear breath sounds" by using my expansion for the capped RESPIRATORY: heading, or would it supposedly learn better if I used case change and added the colon? In other words, are corrections to existing text better or deletions/insertions instead? I don't ...

Just a small rant here. WHY in the world do companies tell US, the MT to change this or that when the DOCTOR says it? An example....VR work, hospital policy is dates in numeric, so doctor dictates June 22, VR types June 22, but we have to change this to 06/22. Hospital says don't say patient names, but doctor dictates Mr. Smith, VR types Mr. Smith and WE have to change to "the patient". I mean, wouldn't it be MUCH more simple to just TELL the doctors to say it ...

I can't help but think of my days and months of training and if I consistently put out work like I am correcting, I would have been fired in a New York minute!!! Please don't post the normal you can get out, it's your fault for staying, blah, blah, blah. I just wish someone would listen as to what a mess this is and the chances of mistakes getting through because there are so many corrections and words that are not even medical or consistent with the report. Just ...

MM ASR output looks just like ILP work. We really should be getting paid at least 2x to correct this junk. If they are indeed running ILP work through to "train" the program, send it to the ILP! ...

Fixing errors on the fly or letting them stay until you spellcheck the entire document? If it's a they're/there/their type of error, obviously you have to fix it ASAP, but for the ones where your fingers just make a major flub that gets red lined, which do you find to be a better use of time? I can't stand seeing all those red lines, so I almost always backspace and make the correction right away, but I'm wondering if that isn't more of a time waster than n ...

Just curious - do you all correct any typos AS you type or wait to do it/them at the end of the report? I do mine as I type; just curious if others have a better way. Also, each day have a different word that won't "TYPE" out right that day - today is STONE....this is coming out SEONT...dyslexic today. But each day it's a different word that just won't behave. Always interesting to see what my fingers will pick each day. Anyone else have this h ...

There has to be a fine line between vertabatim and what is transcribed. :- Blanks are sometimes left for a reason, and anyone with the knowledge they should have to do QA should know when the value and/or unit of measurement is impossible. The measurement unit the doctor dictated, probably by mistake, was impossible. If that value was so, that duct would have been half the height of the patient. Although, the doctor was ESL, so he may not have known the difference anyway. At least I know ...

Okay, I just started working here and I've been trying to keep my reports perfect. When a doctor says "past medical history," I've been just typing "medical history" because isn't past and history together being redundant? I'm still on 100% QA and all my feedback has the "past" put back in. I'm not on a verbatim account, so shouldn't me correcting this be okay? ...
