Speed Type - Coco

I am having problems with my Speed Type program not keeping up with me. I do not understand the pause feature and cannot understand what to do to give it time to catch up. It almost works perfectly if I do not continue typing after an abbreviation is typed, but that makes me pause too much. If I put a period or space in, sometimes it just does not type anything but the first character of the abbreviation and at times the abbreviation cue I give it also remains attached. Such as, tp for the patie ...

Is any body using Smart Type speed typing software? I could not find it on the net. Please let me know if it is still availabe. sf ...

I've been transcribing for 23 years. I recently got switched to pretty much all ASR and I really like it. However, the pay is only 4 cents per line plus my shift differential, so that's 4.75 cents per line. I started ASR three days ago. I find it totally non-stressful, pleasant, and interesting. But I am averaging about $7.50 an hour! I don't necessarily need to get tons of money, but this isn't even minimum wage in California (which is $8.00 per hour). How can I get speed? I ...

Does anyone know what a safe speed is for QA? Some MT's I know can edit at 180 to 190 on the speed bar on Nuance Escription. Managers say these are their "top performers," but I would like to be a fly on the wall to see how their reports are finished on QA. ...

So tell me, how do I pick up speed? I average about 184 lines an hour. The stats they send out say most of you are doing 220 lines an hour. What can I do to pick up speed? My accounts do not allow templates of more than 75 words. The 7.1 is better with regard to looking up reports, but I still don't know if I am supposed to hit enter after one section before moving on to the next one (history and physical...enter???, then past medical history, for example).&nbs ...

Just wondering how many lines and hour an MT who uses no expanders or macros whatsoever can type. Anyone know? The fact that there are so many variables kind of sucks because an MT can't really argue if their company gives them a hard time about their speed since there may be no one else to compare with (in an fair way). ...

I am just curious as to what speed setting to most of you keep it on when doing ASR? I try to keep mine between 8 and 9 unless it's an extremely slow dictator. I would like to increase my line count, but I'm afraid if I speed it up too much I might miss something. ...

Does anyone have any hints/suggestions/help for working more quickly in Powerscribe editing radiology reports? The program seems a bit sluggish and you have to wait on it when you want to go on to the next step/next report. Any hints for copying/pasting more quickly, etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to increase my speed. TIA ...

I'm wondering if anyone else likes to keep the VR speed above 100% when doing VR? What number are you comfortable with? I know there are some docs that have to be slowed down to 100% speed or below, but what's your comfortable speed? I have mine set at 115%, but I'm trying to creep up to 120% to see if it helps the line count a little. ...

No one seems to talk about typing speed these days. I see a huge difference in earning ability of an MT by their typing speed. I get resumes and people don't even put their typing speed on a resume often. I have to go back and ask them. It is the best ruler out there. Are there any 100 wpm typists out there looking for clinic work, M-F, 9-5? Since we all work by production, obviously the faster you type, the more you will earn (and happier you will be) bu ...

I was wondering how long it would take an experinced MT to transcribe a 1:20 (one hour and 20 minutes) report? I am new at this and I think this took me waaayyyy longer than it should have. Can't help but to think I chose the wrong path....lol I guess my speed was about one hour per 9 minutes....The company told me a good transcriber would be one hour for 15 minutes....Is this correct....Turn around time was 24 hours and I barely made the deadline.... ...

Does anyone know what the expected typing speed is to get a job - have lots of experience, but ASR work has slowed my typing speed! ...

I know everyone's different, so just asking for an avg. Just found out today (after finally getting to a somewhat stable line count) that my former Spheris acct w/ be switching to it shortly. ...

I am so tired of these docs and PAs screaming through their PEs that I am just so tempted to just put a big fat QA marker for the whole thing. Yes we can go back and look at old reports (full of conflicting info, blanks, plain wrong) but between that and listening over and over, geez we sure do spend a lot of time "working" for which we are not paid! ...

How long do you give a new job a shot before you know whether or not you will be able to be productive with it? I really want to give up my current full-time job, but I have tried a couple of other MTSOs and their platforms are so much more time-consuming and I end up not being able to make any money. I know that it will take a bit of time to get totally up to speed. Just wondering how long it takes others to get up to a comfortable speed at a new company or when you know you have to throw ...

Not only their mail server but the DocQmanage server as well. Its ridiculous. There have been so many times where I knew I could fill in one of my blanks if I could just look at some of the old work in DQM, but when doing a search, it takes so long, I end up just saying the heck with it and sending it off with the blanks. It's not like I have a slow connection either. I'm on fiber at 10 mbs, so that's not the problem. ...

A lot is being said about stepping up speed and productivity as far as keyboard techniques, but I think my problem is mostly that I cant think that fast as far as sentence structure and meaning. And if I speed things up, I worry about whether I actually heard it right and if I have left out words here and there. I like to quickly proof the report but I have read that an MT should proof only 2 reports per day. Any advice? ...

On every single report, the speed starts out so fast that it is hard to keep up with even the dictators I am familiar with. I have to adjust it on every report. Can some one please tell me a way to fix it permanently? Thanks. ...

Same speed that I always have it marked, but sounds like the dictators are dictating at the speed of light today..Bet the company changed it to try and speed us up ...

Don't you just *love* it when the system decides to speed up certain dictators to so fast that no one can comprehend - and theoretically they want you to edit them that fast? Gees - so annoying to have to slow them down to a reasonable level all because some idiot who doesn't do transcription thinks we can go faster! ...

Would someone be so kind as to tell me, does Medquist pay at least minimum wage after formal training, but while you are learning your new account and trying to get up to production requirements? Or, do they pay strictly on production only? Thanks! ...

I've been working for a while on the Editscript platform. My company pays me 3 cpl for VR (ridiculous) and 6 cpl for ST (also ridiculous). I felt like I had to take this job because I was a new grad and it took me three months to find it. I am unable to make over $10/hr at my very fastest, even using Instant Text. Most days, it's more like $7-8/hr. I can't survive like this! Anyway, it's good that I'm learning the platform, and it sounds li ...

I'm switching up my office stuff and i'm thinking about getting an ergonomic keyboard. I have been typing on a laptop and every once in a while my hands cramp up. I was just wondering if anyone had a learning curve with the ergo keyboard and if it slowed down their production at all. Thanks! :) ...

The offer packet says we have to have 4 to 8 MB download speed. Do you really need that much speed? Living in the country, my average high-speed is 1.5 MB download and 0.54 upload. What I have works fine for me now, but will that be a problem working for MQ? ...

I need some help/opinions. I think I transcribe fairly fast, i.e., lines per hour. I have been looking to get out of MT and into something related and have been given a typing test (in person) on a couple of occasions. The problem is that I stink at typing from written copy as opposed to from hearing it via dictation. My brain just isn't wired to pass these tests :( ...

On both my Win XP and Vista computers I had tremendous slow downs and freezes while using Internet Explorer. In checking the Task Manager/Processes it showed several iexplore.exe files running and getting bigger, up to 500,000K. By shutting down the biggerst one I had immediate improvement in speed, but sometimes this would shut down the Internet connection. I was constantly having to shut down one of these files. I switched to Firefox and what a huge improvement! It consistently runs on about 1 ...

I don't get it. Suddenly companies are asking about download & upload speed of my computer. My computer has worked just fine for MT work for over 9 years now. Nobody has ever asked about the speed before, and I've never had any problems. Now I'm looking for work and because my upload speed isn't 1.5 or above, places won't hire me despite my qualifications. ...

My work computer seems to be slow doing research, etc. lately. I recently had unfamiliar work given to me and keep quite a few tabs and manuals open, so thinking it could be a RAM issue but not sure. I did a speed test during a slow spell, and my download speed was 15.75 mbps and upload speed was 2.90 mbps. I'm really not sure what a good speed is. - I have a personal computer as well, but it is barely running these days, so it's always very slow (so can't judg ...

I do transcription for a hospital conglomerate, and we have thousands of doctors. I find that ever since we started a new program last year, I no longer get a lot of the same docs like I used to, but I get different dictators, different work types and different specialties all day every day. It's very frustrating because I find that I'm learning new specialties all day but, because there's apparently nothing I can do about it, I have to just live with it and work on getting m ...

I've always kept mine on 0.8 and thought it was perfect but turned it up yesterday to 1.0 and didn't really notice too much difference. I like it right around there because I am able to hear every nuance of what is dictated and rarely miss any of the small details. I read on a different thread that someone else kept theirs much faster so it got me curious what the "average" is. Is mine ridiculously slow or are some of you just ridiculously fast? :) ...
