Regular MT vs. MQ ASR - Heartbroken by Vikings again
Posted: Feb 03, 2010
I'm curious about something - maybe it's because when I started doing MT, it was straight typing. I've only been doing ASR 2.5 years.
Has anyone noticed if they're more accurate when doing regular typing than they are with ASR? I have. I rarely make mistakes with straight typing but sure can have a lot of typos, duplicate words or whatever pop up on the ASR.
Plus, as an added benefit with regular MT, whenever the dictator pauses, I close my eyes for a few seconds until they start talking again. It helps keep me a little more fresh. I can't do that with the ASR.
It's just really strange to run your spell check and do a brief double check with regular MT and almost never have errors yet when I do same with ASR, I get a lot more typos, etc.

[ In Reply To ..]I especially notice the mistakes when I have to use a template with ASR. All those headings and moving things around! UGH!
well, my take on ASR - mqmt
[ In Reply To ..]Seasoned transcriptionists hear more things and pick up on more things that a new MT won't. I therefore feel it is harder to do ASR than straigh transcribing. I have heard company heads say the same thing.
Unfortuantely I hate it and I am not sure what I am going to do as pretty soon I will have no choice. I do straight transcribing for MQ as a part-timer but I think pretty soon all companies will have the voice recognition and we won't be able to get around. But again I hate it!
Moving around for template - Vikefan
[ In Reply To ..]That is definitely a pain. Thankfully, only a couple of my accounts have templates. However, I love templates when it's straight MT.
I - love
[ In Reply To ..]templates too, but sadly I hardly see a straight chart any more.
Template - Sunflower
[ In Reply To ..]I don't mind doing ASR at all, except for the fact that I get paid 40% less than straight typing and those templates do drive me crazy. I have one dictator who states to insert his normal and then inserts little changes here and there. At first I was copying and pasting 1 or 2 words, but now I just make the changes and insert skip marker over his changes for the ASR. I have asked that this particular dictator and work type be changed to straight transcription....No luck there. I keep telling myself...at least I have a job. I have made much less mullah with ASR, but at least its work and not NJA.

Lab Values - Convert Decimals To Regular Number
Mar 14, 2011
Sorry, my math really sucks and I can't seem to find a site that will 'convert' decimals to regular numbers. If a patient's lab test reads as 23.0 and the doctor dictates it as 23,000 are these both correct ways of putting it? Also had absolute segment coung of 17.48 that was dictated as 17, 480 and bands of 0.23 that were dictated as 230. If these are just other ways of expressing the same number and are all correct, great- I just want to be sure that is the case. I ...

M-Modal has a current job opening listing for PART TIME MTs (there is a separate listing for FT ones too). WTH is up with that?

It's not an old listing, has TODAY's date on it. What is the reasoning? ...

Just shoot me now. I had some great accounts that are outside my area coming in. Unfortunately, now my regular accounts are showing up and my count is taking its usual dive. Bad audio, crummy output. And the compliance coach thinks it is me that has the problem??? Performance coach was performance managing me for "failing" audits, i.e. getting 99.65%. Now she is our compliance coach, so I am getting informed that my line count is teetering just below the requirement. I let her know that ...
