It is totally ridiculous (and unfair) and crazy to still be making

Honest to Pete, this woman has no clue about pronunciation. A couple of reports ago she's reading a radiology report and says very clearly "primitive destruction" and then goes on to spell it "permeative." Those are two very different words and to me have very different pronunciations. Now she's on a patient who has had chemoradiation therapy, "altima" and zometa. Umm, you mean Alimta? It's going to be a long afternoon. ...

I know I have a month to go yet, but today I checked Fiesa, and I am down to 99.19% with only a little over a month to go. I hate that it will affect the next entire quarter. Why can't they be reasonable and at least do monthly. Without bonus I will not be able to make ends meet. I know, I know, I'm not alone. Just had to vent. I am so stressed out and hate it! I really want to find another job, but it sounds like the grass is not any greenier anywhere else. ...

in such slow halting manner, almost like a computer voice only worse...I have this dodo at maximum speed and he is still so slow I want to browse between windows... this is probably the result of using voice transcription machines. Hello, we're human !! please just talk like a regular people-person... ...

Anyone else notice more reports showing up with SR instead of TR lately? I have several on my accounts that seem to have been added lately that should not ever be on SR. These are not situations that the speech engine is ever going to "learn." It takes human ears to deciper their "words." These dictators are just awful. You know the ones...they talk so fast they don't finish the sentence and let you guess what it's supposed to be, chop off words mid thought, etc. Well, of c ...

Hey, has anybody taken a job with Med Ink and not passed QA? Any shared experience would be appreciated. ...

Scoring the ones I send to QA for proofing because of blanks. Obviously had trouble or would not have sent it to QA, just wanted another set of ears, QA person couldn't even fill in all the blanks, yet went ahead and scored the report. (No, it didn't pass.) ...

I just finished typing a VR dictation that was a little over 100 lines and VR picked up probably 10 correct words in the whole dictation. Basicallly, I had to type the whole report but only got VR pay, which is half of straight typing pay. How is this fair? It's not. This whole situation is wrong. ...

Editing/proofreading ASR is just as much work as straight transcription. It should be paid the same. Trying to micromanage productivity and skew the data to somehow show we are being "lazy" (ex. productivity e-mails on inactive time) won't change the glaringly obvious fact that the MT is being ripped off. In what other profession would you see a pay cut for using a tool? Mechanic? Let's see. They used to have to practically dismantle half of the engine to diagnose a problem. ...

How are we supposed to make up our time AND do the mandatory OT?? ...

I had a very bad experience recenly with a company which will remain unnamed. I had been intentionally decieved about some policies. If I recall correctly I had read something about the labor board. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to contact them. This was an INTENTIONAL , DELIBERATE misrepresentation. Since I am no longer with said company I really have nothing to lose. I have also read repeated co ...

Pinging in and out. Getting booted off. Losing reports. And what slow reports are coming through are all wrong...wrong patients...wrong data in ASR. I knew when I read that email a couple of days ago that they were going to update the client's database and apologized for any inconvenience this might cause, we were in for trouble. So predictable. Thanks MQ. All I want to do is WORK! ...

So I send resumes to about 20 places yesterday and I get responses. They say they only pay 8 cpl, but their test is ridiculous for a pathetic 8 cpl. Forget it MedInk!!! ...

I am currently doing a doctor who actually spells out "N-O" whenever he says the word no. I'm ready to scream. ...

One of the docs upset because many of us are leaving the word "and" out of one of his sentences so we got an email instructing us to make a note of this. Never mind that he dictates at the speed of light on a speakerphone, we need to be sure we get every single little word. Heaven forbid anyone should ever tell these docs it is their responsibility to slow down and make sure they are understood. ...

I sat here for 2 hours waiting for work, and I finally have a few reports. Now the sewer just now backed up for the 3rd time in 2 weeks. ARGHHHHHH!!!! I have had the plumber out twice already and still owe for one visit! I make way less than minimum wage most days and am having to depend heavily on my retirement account (I'm only 56). Feel like everything is raining down on me! I also had to call a wrecker the other day because I locked myself o ...

Is it just me or are a lot of you making minmal wage? ...

As if speech rec can't get more annoying and stupid. Working on a report that had Progresso for progressive over!! ...

My team is required to be signed into a conference in Spark when working our account. That is not a bad thing, in fact it is quite educational because I am seeing just how ridiculous everything is. The account is verbatim, you only type a heading if it is dictated. Someone is worried that the doctor said Procedure for a heading naming the procedure and then later used procedure when beginning the real procedure. That MT was worried about getting dinged if she changed the ...

I was supposed to have an interview with a company today at 2:00 p.m. I sent in my work environment information prior to the interview. A few minutes before the interview, they told me I needed to buy a lower version of Word and they would re-schedule my interview. I wrote back and told them thank you. These companies are getting free office space from us and they pay us practically nothing! They speak to us as if we were schlumps! With all of ...

Talked to the recruiter 2 weeks ago tomorrow (Friday, after her postponing the interview on Wednesday), she was very nice was told the paperwork would be send Fed Ex after not receiving it was told the gal in fhe office was out and would be sent later, and of course based on a "background check" etc -- with training to supposedly start 06/14/2010 -- I have since accepted two positions and if I were an MT, I would be VERY leery of this company -- a month to start is ridiculous especially wh ...

As with most of you, my pay from Medquist has taken a total nose dive ever since ASR went to 85% while at the same time cutting our transcription rate down for ASR from 70% to 60%. That's a 40% pay cut!!! I've had to take another job elsewhere to try to make ends meet. Besides that, our health benefits are the absolute worst and get worse every year. Can anyone ever remember any kind of cost of living raise? I used to make $36,000 annu ...

What is wrong with these companies! That type of transcription is a minimum of $1.00/min!! You have to look up so much drug terminology and who knows what the audio quality could be like. I can't believe they have the NERVE to offer $.07/A LINE!! And as usual, they are targeting the "newbies" who they can take advantage of, rip off and pay slave wages to - they are right up there with that other company who posts jobs for general transcription - the name of which escapes m ...

are there any MTSOs who hire part-time weekdays? I'm looking for something M-Thurs or Tues-Friday with morning hours (7 a.m. to 12 p.m.). I realize most larger companies require weekend work, but I have family commitments (sick family member) that interferes with my ability to work weekends. ...

This is soooooo ridiculous, my blood is boiling. The doctor dictated: "Continue vancomycin and will obtain a vanco trough and further dosing recommendations." I get it back as a minor error. She changed it to: "Continue vancomycin and we will obtain a vanco trough . . . She's acting like he put a contraction in there such as we'll. That's purely a judgment call. No wonder we're getting emails complaining about our high ra ...

Up to now, I have hardly ever run out of work but the last 2 weeks it has become steadily more and more and here I sit on a Tuesday morning with no work. I hope to God we are not losing this account because it is an awesome account. I cannot sit here and work all day as I have a second job that I work also. This is truly killing me!! Might as well go back to bed ...

It kinda looks like TTS can't get anyone to work for them with their ridiculous wages. You'd think they would have figured it out by now. ...

OK...everyone wants to complain about QC and I get it, I am sure there are some QC out there who should not be in the job. However, I just processed a report, and even before I started doing 100% on it a glaring issue stood out... Chief Complaint: What's finger paint. Um..yeah....listened to it and can anyone guess what it really was??? Left finger pain. She also typed that he got his hair caught in a clothing rack, when it really was his finger, left out words everywh ...

For NJA, will someone please explain to me where I post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule excused, as well as where to post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule PTO. I believe they are 2 different sites. TIA ...

It is totally ridiculous (and unfair) and crazy to still be making - crazy and stupid

My primary accounts - x

From my experience, the length of time a physician is - fuming and crazy

I wouldn't count on that. I've been on ASR since the - Kiki
