Very interesting, another reason my counts are higher during the day. - dnr

I normally work nights and get the worst dictators and horrid ASR. Of course, the worst dictators are usually the low man on the totem pole and get the worst coverage. At least, that is my experience from everywhere I have worked. Plus you get the sleepy doctors that can barely move their mouths in between yawns. I also only rarely get operative reports. On the few occasions I have needed to work a day shift, in addition to much better dictation, I get a lot of operative reports (I am tier 3). Only tier 3 are supposed to get operative reports, so these have, basically, all been edited by tier 3. OMG, the output for these reports are normally spot on! Maybe that's a hint that only tier 3 edited reports should be used for training the speech engine! Ya think?? But, I have always thought that was their biggest mistake when it comes to training the speech engine.
Night must be unbearable - sm

I always work days, tier 3, and get terrible ASR - sm
[ In Reply To ..]op reports and consults and H&Ps, etc. all day long. It must be your account that has good ASR because mine stinks.
Only good on op reports. nm - dnr

Tier 3, days, and ops are the worst - nm

I'm Tier 3 and work days, but... - Coco
[ In Reply To ..]...it's not so much the reports I get, it's the doctors who dictate them whom are horrid. English is their third language behind their native foreign language and jibberish as their second language.
It doesn't matter whether you work days or nights, if you're Tier I or III, working for this company is a challenge.

What Could Be The Reason For Odd Line Counts?
May 12, 2010
According to the Escript, I'm doing an average of 300 lph on VR but usually at the end of 8 hours, I don't top 1100 liines most days. On Dictaphone's ExSpeech, i used to consistently do 1800-2400 a day on a combination. I have noticed with EScript that 1 day a week, my lines will hit 1200-1300, and I even hit 1500 one day, yet the lph were still 300. It doesn't make sense. No, I do not take breaks. Half the time I don't stop ...

Are Requirements Getting Higher
Aug 03, 2010
Seems to me, "one year acute care experience" was the basic requirement to sign on with an MTSO. Then it went to three years. Now, a lot of places require "five years' experience." Plus, QA has gotten unbelievably picky. I've always had top-notch quality and even been complimented personally by physicians at various local clinics. Recruiters call my test scores "excellent." And YET, wherever I start working, my QA looks like the homework of some dyslexic third-grader that comes back fr ...
Higher Productivity--same Pay
Jun 28, 2012
After AGAIN seeing more productivity and no increase in my pay, I sent my CCM an e-mail asking to explain it. Will keep you all posted! Maybe everyone should do the same, let them see how frustrated we all are. Betcha M*Modal is the only one reaping any benefits from our increased productivity. Bet the suits are getting major bonuses while we can barely keep our heads above water. ...

Let's see who reads this board. This is a challenge to the "bosses" to try and improve production and cut costs. I have worked in many jobs in my life from delivering papers at 12, to retail, to public service jobs, the one constant in ALL of them is..a happy employee is a productive employee. Business 101 says, if your employees produce more, you need less of them, and that cuts overhead. That being said I would be happy if: 1. You simply paid 15 or 20 minutes a day paid time to re ...

Reason For So Much
Oct 03, 2012
I have read countless articles today that state that the reason that so much MT work is being outsourced is b/c there are lack of MTs on the US side working in the industry. I love when the uneducated write these articles. They are totally missing the entire reason work is outsourced, MONEY. There would be plenty US based MTs to do the work provided we were paid what we are worth. The reason the work even went over to India and other countries is b/c it is cheaper for the ...

Another Reason Why Offshoring Is Bad For Everyone

Last year my relatives started getting calls from a collection agency saying I owed a Payday loan and would go to jail, etc. if I did not pay up.

Of course Americans can rip you off too but sending confidential info overseas is just asking for trouble. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg http://w ...

Is There A Reason Given For The Terminations
Sep 11, 2013
I haven't been to MTStars much lately and noticed some are talking about being terminated. Are you given a reason for the termination? I scraped by my last evaluation (this percentage you have to keep is scary no matter how they tell you the scoring is changed). Scared silly I'll be terminated because don't want retire until I'm 65 (getting close) and too old to start looking for a home job again because I can't work outside the home anymore. Wha ...

Well, I decide to write a pend note and then try a few spellings afterwards. I get to MEDICATIONS section. He invented a new medication! He says TOPEPENEX. Huh? It printed TOPAMAX. Okay, since I don't have a degree in pharmacology, do I look up what Topamax is for? Does he mean XOPENEX? WELL, I CAN'T look it up o ...

Yet Another Reason It's Unwise To Offshore

Look at what just happened in Mumbai today. Three terrorist bombs in the busiest business sectors, killing 20 people and injuring scores of others. Something that seems to happen from time to time, currently being blamed on their rival, Pakistan. (Another favorite U.S. offshoring destination). Those blasts could have just as easily hit one of our MTSOs' main offices, servers, IT techs, QA, etc. over there. There just isn't the same level of security ...
