Should I "upgrade" to Fluency 7.5 like I am supposed to? - dnr

Posted: Jan 09, 2015

I don't like the new shortcuts that require more keys. (Like Shift Alt I for ignore for spelling check)

yes - corgi

I'm not happy with everything that goes on at MModal, but I try to be the best employee I can for my own integrity. Therefore, if asked to do something, even though I know it will not be productive, I still do it. But that's just me. You'll have to make the best choice for yourself and then live with it.

I am referring to functionality and speed, not whether or not I was asked to upgrade. - dnr

Are the changes cutting line counts?

Is it taking extra time or effort to use the changed keyboard shortcuts with the added key?

No extra time nm - stevie

Spellcheck cuts into line counts ever so slightly because, in my case, it runs spellcheck twice for about half of my dictations. The time is made up, though, with the age in the ADT. I no longer have to use my calculator consistently. I end up probably getting slightly more work done during a shift with the changes.

Are the keyboard shortcuts taking extra time because you have the added key? Oh please, you have got to be kidding me with this question!

Do the upgrade, don't do the upgrade, do whatever you want to do...but you live with the consequences. There are those of us on this board who have been working with the new changes for months. It's not a huge change. With MM you need to learn how to pick your battles.

In my opinion, you didn't get any responses other than corgi's response because everyone read your post and scratched their head and decided they didn't want to (A) take the time to respond so such a silly post, (B) fell back on the "if you have nothing good to say..." approach, or (C) all of the above.

One person responded to you and you cut her down unnecessarily...and yet she said what all the rest of us wanted to say, only nicer.

Don't know what you mean when you say the spell check runs twice for each job.

Spell check twice - clyde

If you run spellcheck and it finds any "errors," like an unknown heading, after you've made the correction or ignored it, you have to click "upload" again and it runs spellcheck a second time before uploading.

Don't have to use key - sx

combinations. You can click ignore with your mouse. That hasn't changed.

simpler the way it was, but it's not going to take up much time.

Upgrade? - What upgrade?

I've heard nothing from the TSM mgr of my 375-member POD about any upgrade.

Its a stupid upgrade - but

Im a "mouser," its a couple of extra clicks, if you don't make a lot of mistakes. I'm not going to learn all these new keystrokes thats for sure.

7.5 - still waiting

The very same day I got the email (couple weeks back) I did the training, finally using my Mmodal email addy, password for which i saved exactly one year ago... sent confirmation Code to my Manager and am still waiting for something (link?) or other so I can upgrade. Should I be looking for an answer to my new Mmodal email addy, inside intranet inner circle or something ? Since I defo do not have that email attached to my Outlook Email Program. thanks for anyone who can understand my plight and feels like replying. Bottom line is I do NOT want to waste a lot of time figuring all the new pages and the whole page of new keystrokes (which I HAVE ready and printed off); like mouser, I am still getting up to speed with KS as I did not ever learn them in the past. What all else are people doing/ feeling about the new upgrade. I am panicking a bit i am sure you feel my fear, but surely when all the screens look like nothing I have never seen before, and searching for where to press or what to use (KB) it gotta be a big time waster initially, are you getting me ?

Upgrade when - TJ

I've noticed several things since the last Fluency upgrade and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed these same problems. I would like to gather as much info as possible before approaching my TSM, but also I want to make sure it's not just me. Have any of you noticed these things, or perhaps other things that I have not noticed yet? Thanks. Loss of line per hour, 30 to 50 lph on average.

According to an MM communications email, we were supposed to upgrade to 7.3 by February 24 or we would not be able to log in. Well, it's past the 24th, and I can still log in. According to the version number, I am still on 7.2. Any additional problems with 7.3 that would make me have second thoughts about upgrading as instructed. According to the email, supposedly 7.3 upgrade would give fuzzy MD results and but nothing else was stated. ...

There is extremely loud static, so much so that we cannot even hear the dictator except for maybe 1 or 2 words in a paragraph? Do we abandon the job or send it to QA or.....??

Just got an e-mail from my QTLmnop? that we are supposed to still send reports to QA when we think someone else will understand what we can't. (!?) If I can't hear something, I just can't hear it. Period. It's after I've done my research. How can I predict if someone else's ears can hear it? Maybe, maybe not? I think they're just asking us to be superhuman. The bottom line is that with all these restrictions, I'm d ...

Bad enough that they pay us less for ASR and now we may be getting paid less for sending through QA markers - how are we supposed to know when we are getting paid less and how can they pay us so many different rates?
