VR quality worse since Friday?

I had some horrible reports lately! I had one today that was horrid that I know will get me a big fat FIESA report! Also a few others that were really bad. Has anyone else noticed this? ...

Is it just me or is the sound quality just getting worse and worse? Distorted, static, background noise, on and on. And these are doctors who used to be crystal clear. I am adjusting the tone & jamming my headset onto my ears but that's a waste of time. Very frustrating. Just my gripe o' the day. ...

or is it just me? Static, low volume, horrible! ...

I know that a lot of my perception is being influenced by the mass influx of ESL dictators over the last few years, but the problem just doesn't seem to be about accents; it seems that the dictators are much more sloppy and careless than they used to be in time past. Also, some of the younger ones seem to consider dictating to be some sort of a game. It's as if they do things on purpose to make the dictation more difficult (such as racing through certain portions of the nar ...

I've been at this almost 30 years and it seems that today's dictators just do not care. Yes, there were dictators "back in the day" who mumbled, shuffled papers, dictated at the speed of lightning, etc., but it didn't seem like there were as many of them. These days, it seems like nobody cares what they're dictating or how they're dictating it. I've had dictators clearly read over a mistake in a template (expander mistake, wrong word, etc.,), they ...

This company's written test says that I can't use any references, but based on the questions they're asking, I'd have to be a doctor to be able to answer them! So am I to assume that I can't use references when I work either? So sick of jumping through hoops for these companies... ...

on Fluency. I have had problems with it all day. ...

I ran an error report for all reports, all accounts on my platform for this quarter, 10/1 - 10/18. So far the Quality Index is 84% vs Quality Score 99.18%. Didn't they advertise this new error scoring as working out in our favor? Doesn't look like it to me. This is based on 2194 jobs and 105,358 lines audited on E5. I checked the box that says view all corrections on the correction report. ...

I have had so much work this week I felt like my head was spinning from one account to the next, to the next platform and back, and then to the next platform and next acount, and all over again. I've been working on a couple new ESL's and I literally wanted to put my head down at some points and just cry. Listening to their rolling tongue and 100-mile-per-hour speech over and over again trying to understand what they were saying. It was making me nuts!! I'm ...

Best early Christmas present I could have ever given myself! Now I can't say for sure that the new company I signed on with as an IC is going to be any better, but a girl can dream, can't she? At any rate, it will be different and will hopefully give me a more flexible schedule so that I can work on that totally new career of upscale cat furniture. I have not finished my prototype yet as hubby may be getting a new job too and we might be moving for this new job. ...

Has anyone elsed noticed that ASR sometimes "takes a break" on Fridays??? I was doing pretty good with my line count for the week, hoping to make a decent bonus tier for this last week before the new pay plan rolls out. Then, BOOM... nearly all reports are straight transcription this morning. Long op notes that I usually edit this time each day (and can get a very good LPH) I now have to type out. Bye bye bonus. ...

On Friday, all my coworkers seem to take off early. I thought Friday was a work day. LOL. ...

Please everyone cross your fingers and toes!! I tweaked my resume and I've been getting some interest from potential employers and have an interview for this Friday for a medical records clerk for the prosecutor's office. I'm so hoping this is the one, but I won't be crushed if it's not. I've had so many disappointments in my new job search over the past year, I'm getting used to it. I'll let you all know how it goes!! ...

It used to be twice a month so I'm wondering if the every other Friday is true? TIA ...

My paycheck today was a whopping $40.00. Nja again today. ...

And it feels great! Wrote my supervisors an email that I was quitting and said all the things I have wanted to say for so long but didn't dare, then proceeded to delete all their software from my computer, including email, and will never look back. Cashing in a pension plan from a previous job that will carry me through until June when I am 62 and can retire. Done with this thankless job!!! ...

Did any one get an email on Friday that was a zip file and could not open it? I have tried on 3 different computers and could not open on any of them (different operating systems and versions). the last one said a threat was detected; however, when I check the sender it does come from Nuance. Just wondering if anyone else got it and had problems or was able to open it. If you could open it, did I miss anything important or that I might need to know? Thanks!1 ...

I got up and showered just to SIT HERE. This is so infuriating. My accounts used to always have work. I felt sympathy for everyone griping about NJA, but I just laid low and was thankful that I hardly ever had NJA. Now it is almost every day. Where did all that work go? ...

While that stupid background virus scan is working on all workstations!!! Can the management people who work behind the scene not get it through their heads that this interrupts everything?? Geeze. My computer locks up every single time this thing runs and it always runs every Friday night. They must be using some updated Java thing with the program because that is what locks me up. My computer has an older Java version that they are using and right in the middle of running their scan, Java mess ...

Was fine over the weekend, but found myself all morning typing for less familiar facilities and wading through a technical procedure from a doctor who doesn't remotely speak the English language, and once again I could hardly see to type for the tears. I just don't think a job should make you suicidal every work day. ...

Well here we go again with NJA to me in the North Region. Looks like another long and soggy weekend, again. Tell me again what I should change my hours to . . . do the "others" ever sleep? Just wondering . . . . ...

First I find out I am not getting paid for certain lines (which I was NOT told upon my hire), then I find out I am let go with no word as to why. Hmm, I am most definitely going to be warning people about this place!!! ...

I've worked on multiple accounts and there is almost always NSA on Friday mornings. What is the deal? ...

This is so ridiculous. Friday afternoon and no work. I can't keep checking back every hour and do perhaps 2 charts and run out again. Stop sending so much work to India and at least leave the US MTs something to do. ...

that's odd.. anybody else? ...

I am nervous but breathing a sigh of relief!!! After countless applications, I was offered and accepted a secretarial job in a local school. Less hours, but at least I know what I am getting paid weekly! I will have the same days off as my children. I am looking forward to this new chapter and happily spreading my wings :0) For my fellow MTs, keep trying, keep plugging away. It is possible! I will let you know what life is like on the outside in a few weeks once I ...
