What is your favorite example of corporate-speak

i prefer VR over transcribing and would love to find a company in need of my services. I have over 15+ years experience and I am one of the oddballs who does enjoy it. Of course, as an IC I prefer to work my hours and days as long as I get their requirement met for TAT, which is no problem. ...

I am going to be getting a new computer soon (yay!) and was just wondering what everyone's favorite computer is for doing transcription on. I am looking at a Toshiba, but I have heard they have bad speakers. Opinions please! ...

I'm looking at everything from old IBM clackers to Kinesis to Logitech to those funky as all get-out flat rubber keyboards a poster below mentioned. Input anyone as to why a certain keyboard is your fave? ...

Hi all, I'd like to know your favorite MT software that you've worked with before. What were the pros and cons of it? We are looking to update our system from the old school mini-tapes that our MTs have to come in and get to something that'll allow them to stay at home and receive the dictations. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. LW ...

Thank you, dear doctor, for deciding that your account has to be 100% accurate, that the 98% industry standard is "lazy" and "impossible." I love that you decided there should be no numerals or ordinals in a medical report, that all numbers must be spelled out except the date. I appreciate how your secretary will fax in 4 pages to complain about one isolated, non-critical error while also calling the OM repeatedly about the same error. I enjoy that this leads to the OM calling ...

Does anyone have a favorite kind of earphones? I need something to better filter out all my white noise/static. ...

water glass :( It was a really old Dictaphone headset with a three mile long cord. I hope it works when it dries ...

This one particular account I absolutely despise. The dictators whisper. Even with the volume turned all the way UP, it is a struggle to hear them. Have reported this too many to count times with nothing being changed. What a bunch of garbage. This job just keeps on giving. ...

We are trying to pick a new typing package to interface to Meditech. Right now we are using Dictaphone EXText. What is your favorite to type in?? ...

I have done the tutorials and been doing ASR for years and didn't know about the alt-K to break and capitalize. Maybe this old dog could learn one or more new tricks. Teach me everybody!! What are the best hot keys that really work? ...

As if we don't have enough BS to wade through and crap emails to read before trying to get a little money from them, I read an email that says "Here is a list of the previous MTIs that were renamed today." Really? Like that matters. If I am going to spend my own time reading the emails that seem more like a trap on how they can keep from giving my my bonus, I would rather read a specific instruction....not that someone got paid to change the name of the instruction. ...

I know this subject has been gone over before, but I need your opinion. I have spent the last week evaluating the line counting/invoicing programs out there, which I might add are few and far between. I really don't like any of them! LOL! Could some of you share with me your experiences? I appreciate the input! ...

No conscience, this LG, hired to slash, and slash she is good at! l shudder to recount all the I.D. numbers I've seen come and go from her matrices. If you were just switched to one of her accounts, beware, there is only one reason for that! She is on the AB (COM) team last I knew. ...

It all started approximately a month ago with a note from CCM saying she was going on vacation. Not a word from her since then. Letter from corporate saying I had a new CCM. Wrote that person and got a reply that she would like to help me but I wasn't hers! Been well over two weeks since any word from QATL. I was on lockdown, now I'm not. I'm still on the same old accounts for the most part, with the same old CCM listed, but nobody seems to know it. LOL Anyo ...

Has anyone heard of or worked for Speak Write? ...

I just put some things together that are enlightening. MQ/Spheris has 12,000 MT's in the U.S., not counting those overseas. Transcend has 5,000 MT's in the U.S. and another 1500 in India. Webmedx has 1200 MT's. KeyStrokes has 600 MT's. TT has 200 MT's. Softscript has 200 MTs. NEMT has 200 MT's. Transolutions, or whatever they are called now, has 300 MT's. Medware, again not sure what their new name is, has 3 ...

How can we edit/transcribe if the volume is highest on the computer, ear phone amplifiers are on, and we STILL CANNOT HEAR! If it comes straight typing and ASR cannot pick it up, why in heaven's earth does the doctor think I CAN HEAR. I cannot! Are these docs being passive aggressive... Oh they don't realize?! That is just MEAN, CRUEL. Forget that I have to make a living wage, but think about just plain RESPECT. This vent brought to you by me getting too ...

There are a couple of dictators whose grammar, pronunciation, and enunciation is so poor, you wonder if they actually need a translator in order to speak to their English-speaking patients. A translator that can translate poor English. That translator would be bilingual, that is, English-speaking and poor-English-speaking. Yes, it seems "poor English" is also a language of its own that only those who speak it can understand. ...

uh it's uh hard to type uh uh when uh you uh speak with uh uh all the pauses uh uh JERK. ...

The low volume of the dictations even on 100% is driving me nuts! I shouldn't have to strain to hear what you are saying. ...

I mean seriously this catering to their stupidy is starting to get old. Granted they aren't major errors. But, my theory is if they cannot give me the courtesy of even remotely completing a sentence, much less a paragraph here lately, I am sending it through. I know I can look at the repository and figure most of the stuff out, but that is a guess at best and not a chance I am willing to take with patient care. Sick of it!!! Unfortunately, my main offenders are 100% QA accounts so QA f ...

dictate in the noisiest areas. ...

I've work on an account that 80% of the doctors dictate many abbreviations/acronyms that I have never heard of (I've been transcribing for 16 years). Some of them are very hard to find. Googling gives sites for acronyms, but mostly that is not helpful. A lot of them are not found in the Stedman's Abbreviations book or that particular field book. I spend an incredible amount of time trying to find these. Can you link me to your favorte site to fi ...

I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...

Can anyone tell me if there is some sort of formula for pricing out the finall editing of a DragonSpeak report? I am assuming that it would be much less than if it were priced for typing the entire file. thanks, bill ...

They expect us to understand their Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Hispanic accents when they can't even put a simple English sentence together! The hospitalists are the worst. I think they hire them right off the boat from their overseas countries and put them to work in the hospitals-- probably as cheap as they can get them, and then put them on VR. My MTSO increased their line requirements for this year and with over 30 years' experience, I struggle ...

How is it that they expect such a high level of skill but want to pay us as unskilled labor? I am so ticked listening to this one foreign idiot - I am typing it just like she says it! I dare them to confront me about it? You want it cleaned up - pay for it!!! You want it to sound intelligent? Pay me more than a high school student! ...

About half of the dictators from my new account are Indian, most of them mumblers, so I'm going crazy. They can barely speak English. Wondering why there are so many Indian dictators here? ...

We need transcriptionists?? We have not overstaffed?? We continue to hire?? Maybe that is why I have NO FLIPPIN WORK?? Whatever! We need you my tushie. ...

Reach out to (MT, QA, QC, CCM, insert one of your choice) and - advise them..... Really??? nm

Mandatory. - (Rolling eyes)

Stating the word in EVERY email. STRATEGIC - Finger pointing to back of throat.
