Is everyone else's MQ ASR end-of-sentence spacing 1 space - dnr
Posted: Jun 29, 2011
after the period or 2 spaces? The accounts I do have only 1 space after the period rather than the usual 2 spaces. I notice that on the final patient copy there are 2 spaces after the period. Makes me suspicious of possible line count manipulation. I am sure that I am probably losing a lot of money over time not getting paid for that space.
Well - sm
[ In Reply To ..]If client wants 1 space and ASR is putting 2 spaces, you should contact support so they can fix that. If ASR is putting 2 in and you are removing 1 of them, then I personally would leave it that way and let them fix the spacing issue. I'll be darned if I would remove all the extra spaces. NOt sure exactly what you are saying. If ASR is putting 1 space and in final copy it has 2, then another support issue.
here is what I am told - about spaces
[ In Reply To ..]We are only paid for 1 space, whether we put in 2 or not. ASR puts in 1 space and changes it to 2 because that is the way it should be, they just wont pay us for it.
It is line count manipulation because we were NEVER informed by anyone that we would not be paid for 2 spaces!!!
Can you even imagine how much they owe us?
I understand we only get paid for one space anyways - (even though
[ In Reply To ..]QA instructed me to do two spaces). Who knows, we probably don't get paid for any spaces (or letters for that matter)?
I have compared line counts - sm
[ In Reply To ..]where I copied and pasted report into a word document and it seems the spaces are counted. I have actually had more lines on the MQ count that what I get. Guess I'm not sure how they do their line counts.
also deleting the word "the", cutting space counts - alphamt
[ In Reply To ..]When accompanying words are deleted, our space counts are less. I wonder too if the QA process accepts this, or dings us. Lately SpQ has been rewording tricky phrases that we would reword ourselves, but not accurately, and not reflecting exactly what is dictated. This is problematic for the MT - what will QA do with this SpQ alteration of text in our finished documents if we accept it? Does this cut out the keystrokes we would use with blocking and rephrasing? Anyone know if we get any credit for what we change, and if this takes away from our counts by SpQ automatically correcting. Can it be traced, and do we lose $ and time trying to reconfigure a SpQ-edited sentence?

Over and over on these boards I read angry and disgruntled posts from MTs about how they feel it is only due to greed on the part of their MTSO, or due to some conspiracy carefully crafted by AHDI, that requires one space after a period at the end of a sentence. One period after the end of a sentence is not strictly an MT standard. Everywhere in media, print journalism, and academia one space between sentences has become the norm. This, ...

I was under the impression that it got changed on the back end when it got sent on to the hospital somehow and it didn't matter. Why then on ...
