SR programmers - I am new

Posted: Apr 25, 2012

I am new to speech wreck and M*Modal in particular. There are programmers who are correcting the speech? I have asked my manager why the SR cannot figure out where to put in a new heading WHEN EVERY DOCTOR SAYS THE SAME THING. She gave some lame excuse. The SR cannot figure out the name of the hospital. It's the same hospital, two words, gets the second word okay, first word has been a string of ridiculous attempts to get the name of a state correct.

So are the managers supposed to be programming the SR to stop these repeat mistakes, or there are actual software programmers? Who are these programmers? They write code (or are supposed to) to correct SR mistakes, or what? I did not know there was a job like that in MT industry. Am I understanding correctly?

Thanks.

if anyone thought they might be purposely sabotaging our work, purposely not fixing things, for whatever reason. Maybe the answer to my question is yes.

I don't think it's that - slave wages

well I could be wrong. But as I said below, they don't seem to have to answer to anyone. I for one wouldn't know how to get hold of them. You can point out a particular change you'd like to see to your CCM and hope they are able to get a message to them. Maybe someone else here knows more.

what their pay might be.

Instead of allowing me to transcribe a report and get paid well for it, the entire industry was mucked up by speech wreck. They added layers of management and a layer of software programmers to correct SR, and that's why my pay has been cut? Great.

google it - voice recognition forums

Just google Voice Recognition Forums. good luck!

There is no real concern to improve SR. That's what we're - here for. :(

Oh if you are new, you will have sooo many more - problems than just missing

the name of your hospital!!! It will miss most every other word soon, it will make sentences every time the word he or she appears. It will run every sentence together. No headings. Then headings out of stupid things like when a doctor says "EKG" it will expand it and make it a heading. It will capitalize generic drugs sometimes and not sometimes. It will begin just adding words like "not" as in "The patient is NOT on any cardiac medications" (right before the list of cardiac medications). This is what we all complain of. We can type faster than we can edit this garbage. Good luck.

Does anyone know anything about this job? Are they real people? Or is is a software program correcting the SR software program? What do they get paid? How does it all work? How does the software program work? It is watching the corrections we make on a dictator and make changes? It is working from some kind of medical dictionary of possible pronounciations (I made that up!)? Anyone up for the challenge of explaining it to me? Thanks in a ...
