Watch your headings - Not spell checked

Posted: Sep 09, 2010

Make sure your headings are spelled correctly before uploading as the spell checker ignores them completely, which makes me highly suspicious that they are not included in our line count whether we type them or insert them.

You know, DQS was the only good thing MQ had going for it until this update. They had some good ideas, but implemented them poorly, not to mention should have done a beta with a handful of non-suck-up and non-family-member-to-the-CEO MTs first.

I have a feeling they have a group of MTs that they give all the gravy accounts to and give the best computers and it is these MTs that they get their feedback from, whether it be how FTR is the best idea ever, they make 6 bazillion lines on ASR, or any other silly ideas they have. I'm sure these MTs have won more contests than the other peons out there. Now, I'm being paranoid.

I'm not with MQ, don't know what you use. - Audrey

There is a spellcheck Word setting, Ignore words in Uppercase. Uncheck it. Now the spellcheck will check it. Maybe this will be helpful.

Rats, DocQscribe does not have this option - No Message

Thank you! - I did not know that

I have a feeling there is no group of MTs at all testing this stuff, they just want you to think so.

Pilot Program Refused - Guinea pigs

[ In Reply To ..]
My CCM told me that over 40 MTs were asked to participate in the 6.1 Pilot Program but they refused. Don't know if that's true. I know I wasn't asked, but when I go a new computer sent to me, it already had 6.1 installed on it and I had to figure everything out on my own, unfortunately without the help of this board. I have a feeling the Q asked a few MTs to try it out and when they refused, they just decided to throw it at us like guinea pigs, just like they did the cesspool a few years ago. Human experiments? That's what we are to them.

Spell check has never checked words in headings, not just with 6.1.

Yes it did - Old part-timer

I can remember several specific occasions where spell check picked up a mistake in one of my headings.

Yeah this would be the lady who does 600 lph - still not believing it

600 - anon

I don't type 600. I barely type 175 most of the time. I was just saying I've never in over 10 years have spell check catch anything in a heading. SORRY!

How do we find out if we are paid for them or not? - NOT PAID--NO HEADING

[ In Reply To ..]
If I am not paid to put them in... they will not get them!

I will just type it without heading in mixed case. Maybe their "high tech back end programming" can fix it!

Headings are being paid on my acount - sereneone

After seeing a post below that said they ran a count in Word and came up short, I checked 1 of my docs yesterday. MQ's count for that doc was just slightly higher than what Word counted. I do this occasionally just to double check anyway. MQ count has always been a little more than what Word counts but it wasn't quite as much more yesterday. Maybe it was just that document, don't know, but I'll be checking a little more often for the next few weeks. If you do this, you need to make sure you take the count WITH spaces, not without as Word runs both, and then divide by 65.

Oh,the way I do this is copy and paste a report into a Wordpad file, put it on a flash drive then plug it into my personal computer that has Word and run the count. Any personal ID gets replaced with an equal number of random letters/numbers before it's saved in the Wordpad file.

I agree about DQS being a good thing before. sm - ververyoldMQMT

Yes, DQS has always been a good platform!!! And, as for myself, I have asked many times and suggested why automatic numbered lists could not be implemented. Now, on ASR picking up every single thing a doc dictates, it still is quite simply work intensive to have to go in and edit the medications, etc. I have found it easier to just delete the meds and then retype them. As for this heading list option to the side...What Clown thought this would be good. In my opinion, it is there because offshoring ILPs don't have to understand the docs. A waste of time. I cannot believe that other MTers (and don't slam me) did not already build their expansion to have headers come up as dictated. Hey everyone, that is just basic conscientious MT expectation for whatever company you work for. I see from that so-called tutorial (that sounded like a 12 year-old cutesy was doing it) we should be able to use our expansions on headings. Again, all we are doing is training the ILPs. I am an unfortunate one who has dial up. I DO NOT have satellite, as suggested below, and I cannot get DSL here for some unforeseen time. This upgrade is going to personally mess up my entire life again. In my region we have not been given the okay to download the upgrade as yet. IT took me almost 3 hours to even download and complete the useless tutorial on DSL Fast Access. I have many questions about it. Are we NOT supposed to change the attending when the doc dictating is obviously the one is the attending??
SO USELESS!!!! And yes Matilda, I did paint my toenails while waiting for everything to load on DSL at my parent's home. :-} HA!! Oh yeah, called for home delivery of my favo Veggie Pizza, and brewed a pot of coffee and had a cup while still waiting!!!

You can hide the headings and outline view - derp

If you don't like the required heading list and the heading outline window taking up your screen, it can be closed. The main function for it was for those accounts that are "Transcribe As Dictated".

make sure of your spelling settings - NJA Queen

Check under Tools, Options, Spelling. Mine was clicked to Ignore all capped words, I unchecked it and yes the headings are being spellchecked. Now, whether we are paid for them or not is yet to be seen :)

Mine is unchecked and headings not being spellchecked - Strange...

I stand corrected- does not check headings - NJA Queen

[ In Reply To ..]
I purposely mispelled a heading and ran it through spellcheck and it did not catch it. Yet another glitch of 6.1. Thank you for pointing that out.

I just failed another audit. No indications I was even being audited, no % showing up in my feedback like usual. I thought it was so weird because I have been extra extra careful. So I go to actually look at the work I typed instead of just the info that is sent to me. My last audit was done on 5/24 all reports were typed that day and audited that day. My audit this week was work from 5/23 and 5/24. They didn't even audit my current work! ...

They have squeezed all the blood out of MTs they could (for a while), then they start on the QC.. Sorry QC but we all must share the evil as well as the good. Now the QA who have the power to impact all our pay must have to wonder "Could this happen to me next?" I sure as heck hope so. They usually say "Sh** flows down stream", but in this case it seems to be going up. I like my TSM, but also find it annoying for them to discuss their vacations, letting us kn ...

Beware . . . Watch out for this company!!! They do nothing but move employees around continously and train them on new accounts so there isn't any room for advancement or the ability to excel on a specific account. Lastly, they have US MTs get all the 'bugs' out on an account and then move the account off shore and lay off their US MTs. There is a lack of communication and lack of professional management throughout the entire company. Just a heads up to any ...

Since Septemer 2014, every visit with every provider has gone like this. 1) The medical assistant types into my record. 2) The provider types into my record. At the end of my visit, they hand me the summary of my visit that day. It goes like this 1) The medications are mostly right although some are wrong and way wrong. 2) My age is off by 10 years at one facility and they 'cannot correct it.' 3) My height and weight are off a whole lot at another facility and they 'cannot c ...

Nuance believes (wrongly) that fairness does not matter, that they can unilaterally define every aspect of our work and compensation, with no input from us, their MTs. They can try to take away our voices, but if we act badly because of it, no one should be surprised. I don't see my fellow MTs do their work and how they are compensated. I work alone. But ... I do see other people working for other companies, doing demanding and difficult work, and being compensated with a fair wage an ...

While editing, have you ever come across a read heading that is not meant to be there and sometimes has nothing to do with what is dictated, and then, upon normalizing the heading with ctrl-shift-H, it shows exactly what was dictated? This happens all the time with me, but this one really stood out. The red heading was FAMILY AND SOCIAL. What was dictated was "dairy and wheat." Without typing what was dictated, I normalized the heading and, sure enough, "dairy and wheat" ...

What bugs me is that since switching to DQS 7.1, all the headings in the ROS and PE are in lower case now, and each time I edit, I have to change them back to caps per client preference.
