You know, MQs speech wreck is bad enough - but to add insult to injury

I worked for Spheris for 4 years and it was great. Mmodal took over almost a year ago and changed everyone to speech wreck, took Outlook email away and put us on some horrible slow email system and now it takes at least 30 minutes of wait time to get the Help Desk on the phone. I am looking for a new position that is straight transcription. If anyone knows of one, PLEASE let me know!!!! Speech wreck has caused by paycheck to be cut in 1/3 at least. Thanks! ...

As per usual, SR came up with a medical worde for a non-medical word and used it throughout a report. Think about what might sound like "peanuts" and substitute that in sentences like "the patient was allergic to peanuts," "She ate some peanuts." ...

hypo in a tree mix = hyponatremic I wish we could bombard the emails of the powers that be and show them the crap that comes out of their famous speech recognition :o) ...

I have tried to explain to manager that the program is slow, and does not seem to ever correct a lot of "normal" dictation, so I have come here to ask a question of you. I feel that we are not getting enough keystroke count for these jobs. I have had lengthy jobs with small actual counts because of all the repairing (MEing), and pickiing up of nearby conversations, using markers judiciously as requested. None of these markers are included in the count that I can see, but they a ...

Does anyone know anything about this job? Are they real people? Or is is a software program correcting the SR software program? What do they get paid? How does it all work? How does the software program work? It is watching the corrections we make on a dictator and make changes? It is working from some kind of medical dictionary of possible pronounciations (I made that up!)? Anyone up for the challenge of explaining it to me? Thanks in a ...

We were supposed to provide 3 job numbers with examples of the same errors being made over and over again. Well, I did just that with numerous jobs because of numerous errors. Not one stinking thing has been done. Does this mean my TSM was just whistling Dixie and blowing smoke and did nothing about the information I provided, or does it mean the ASR technicians were whistling Dixie, blowing smoking and did nothing? Why is no one held accountable for the mess that is called Nuance? ...

I just came across "Benzapril" listed as a medication that Speech Wreckignition picked up. Granted, that is how this doctor pronounced it, but it should be "benazepril." (Also notice that the original was capped while the correct is lower case.) Now, I've seen this a couple times, and from what I understand, the speech system can't just "make stuff up." Someone has had to have physically type that out in straight transcription (either when it was learning) or c ...

I work for another company, and they recently got a speech-wreck program that I believe has some M*Modal software in it. Do they have SR software that is specifically for radiology? Also, if a company purchases SR software that has M*Modal's stamp on it, how likely is it that the purchasing company might be in line to get taken over by M*Modal? Because if that happens, I'm out of there. ...

Dictated: vegetations SR: bitch dictations I sat and laughed for a good 2 minutes...smh and the thing I wonder the most is HOW does SR even know that word?? LOL ...

I am a coding student at Andrews. I have been looking at coding jobs tonight and came across this one that really got my attention... in a not so good way. Would like to hear your thoughts on this one my friends. http://careerassist.ahima.org/jobseeker/job/10710369/Remote%20Experienced%20Coders/Healthcare%20Coding%20&%20Consulting%20Services%20(HCCS)/?vnet=0&t731=39387 HCCS Remote Coding R&D Specialists are working on the most advanced and exciting CAC p ...

These are just from TODAY: "proctitis" (should be tardive) Hearing aid is present in patient's "inner thigh" (should be right ear) Mary neck tummy (should be myringectomy) gestational sac (should be gas station clerk) The patient is a gestational sac? Hmmm..... This last one made me LMAO...I mean, really? Come on now! ...

Anyone else notice more reports showing up with SR instead of TR lately? I have several on my accounts that seem to have been added lately that should not ever be on SR. These are not situations that the speech engine is ever going to "learn." It takes human ears to deciper their "words." These dictators are just awful. You know the ones...they talk so fast they don't finish the sentence and let you guess what it's supposed to be, chop off words mid thought, etc. Well, of c ...

What's with voice rec when most of the file is full of words that are not what the dictator says. I have to type more than edit on these reports. It seems to me it should be put in the straight type pool. It is hard to concentrate on these kinds of files and do a good job. ...

I can't help but think of my days and months of training and if I consistently put out work like I am correcting, I would have been fired in a New York minute!!! Please don't post the normal you can get out, it's your fault for staying, blah, blah, blah. I just wish someone would listen as to what a mess this is and the chances of mistakes getting through because there are so many corrections and words that are not even medical or consistent with the report. Just ...

I know every time the phone rings or I get an Ipswitch email i'm going to have a tiny heart attack lol The news probably won't come until tomorrow but it's the waiting to determine my whole future that's got me on edge! ...

Voice wreck has been set up to make us fail. That is clear to me now. The dictation could not be more clear, but the voice wreck will change it just to mess us up and prevent us from attaining any incentive or bonus. This has been particularly true with regard to numbers in lab values, ages, medication dosages, numbered lists, etc. NUANCE DOESN'T CARE. They just want their money. Also, there is no chance for advancement in this company. The only chance for change in this company is t ...

Dictation could not be more clear. Voice Wreck is putting in udder nonsense. Yes, I know it should be utter nonsense. I'm trying to make a point because this is exactly what this sorry excuse of voice recognition is doing. We really have to ask ourselves, is this being done purposefully with the hope that we make more errors? My best guess is a resounding YES! These people will stoop to anything to squeeze a few more pennies out of us. ...

I've been reading these boards for years, and have never posted. But I'm desperate for some advice. I have worked for years at a very small company as an IC and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, life events threw me a curve and I was forced to find an employee-status job. I thought I landed THE best opportunity. I have been with Accentus for a few months and absolutely hate it. I WANT soooooooo badly to like it and make it work, as I do believe it is one of the better companies out ...

Is it possible for voice wreck to be better on one account than another, or am I just noticing coincidences? One account, I might re-type anywhere from 60-80%, another account I might re-type 20%. Could this be due to software or equipment, or is it just a coincidence? ...

so posting this here. I just can't seem to get any speed on VR and the drafts coming through are really not that bad. I can easily straight type 150-175 LPH, but I struggle with VR so much. I just got hired at this company and we are only required to get 200 LPH, which is reasonable. Why is it such a struggle for me? I have tried and tried to figure it out. My eye cannot seem to follow with voice and I end up going over and over words. Have tried magnifying the screen to about 14 ...

I am on working right now and had to get away and vent on her for a second because the editing with voice wreck is SOOOO bad right now, I am putting way more effort into the reports than what I am getting paid for. There are amazingly stupid mistakes, whole sentences missing, other sentences made up that are nothing like the dictator is saying. If this is going to be the way it is tonight, it's gonna be a short night for me. I refuse to make crap pay for this kind of work. ...

The phrase is She will be evaluated by PT, OT and speech therapy, corrected to She will be evaluated by PT, OT and Speech Therapy. I thought it was only capitalized in when followed by a proper name like Montana Central Hospital Speech Therapy. Thanks. ...

when you look at the reports you have in QUEUE and the status of the report says CONTEXT ADAPTATION ADMINISTRATOR, what does this mean, and why am I not getting paid for these reports??? ...

Question--Has anyone tried beating them at their own game by purchasing their own speech rec system, installing it, and re-dictating what the dictators have said? Has it worked for you? Did you increase your productivity? What system did you use? Looking for info. Thanks! ...

My quality has gone down since the clinic that I work at started this. We use Dictaphone Extext. Anyway, I must be going too fast or something because I seem to miss things. Has anyone else had this problem? I have started reading over my reports myself now before sending them through and I asked my supe if they have improved. She said yes, but I still am making mistakes and she will send me my reports back shortly. The only thing else I know t ...

1) is this the correct way to type the weighted score of 1+3 in this paragraph?? The weighted values for speech symptoms associated with velopharyngeal incompetence, (McWilliams and Phillips) were completed today. Overall, he received a weighted score of 1 + 3, indicative of a competent-to-borderline competent velopharyngeal mechanism. ...
