have they changed accuracy requirement?

Very shortly our accuracy requirement will be 99.6%. Since this company cares nothing about accuracy, my conclusion is two-fold: 1) As they always have, they are going to use this as a marketing tool. 2) Anyone who falls below 99.6% will have their pay docked thus reducing the company's labor costs even further and will probably result in administrative bonuses. For new employees - welcome to MM. For everyone else - get out if you can. ...

It is still 150 lines/hr for straight isn't it? (I think I've gotten a total of 3 straight transcription jobs in the last month). So, is it 150 lines for VR too, which is what the majority of our work is? Or is the line requirement much higher for VR? This is all assuming there is work of course........ ...

what are you all doing when there is no work during whatever your shift may have been? Are you having to make up the hours elsewhere? (That could lead to potentially a lot of bouncing around the shifts trying to find work.) ...

Well, I see not much has changed. I've been out for nearly three weeks, just flat out stopped working, I think they probably know by now I'm not coming back. Have not heard a thing from the Q about it. But I think I've found another way to go. We have a bartending school near where I live. My sister used to bartend, I never have, but I know what she used to do. The school will teach everything about mixology and offers job placement when you graduate ...

Doing the same thing I have done for years...Now all the sudden there are some QA that are comma and semicolon nazis..They are everywhere. You want them, you will get them, more money for me with the extra spaces. ...

I find it ironic that ad after ad on the job boards here and others on those pathetic Indian websites that go on and on about wanting only the best, blah, blah, and 98% accuracy, when their are typos throughout their ads, and we pay beggar wages to boot! ...

I've made lots of 100% accuracy scores, but I just saw that I made a 3.0 Critical error on a VR dictation at Nuance. It was where the doctor said a medication amt that sounded very much like another amount. I have been extremely careful with the medication amounts and the laboratory values, but made this mistake!! Anyway, that brought my accuracy to just under 99%. I want to go back and listen to that dictation again, bet it was hard to tell the difference in t ...

I just heard that Mmodal is requiring 99.6? Just blinked my eyes a couple times. This can't be true, right? ...

With Nuance's high standards and QA picking apart every report, I am feeling pretty down on myself. I question my ability to do my job. I question every comma, every word, and dread waking up to this job for fear of making mistakes. It isn't a good feeling. I have been in this field since 1992 and have never felt so incompetent and stupid. ...

99.7% accuracy when told to a recent business school graduate. Sure 99.7% accuracy is what they strive for in production of goods in a factory..To try for 99.7% accuracy in a job that has as many variables as transcription is a completely unrealistic goal. Speech patterns alone of different people makes errors almost inevitable. What they are striving for is an impossible goal. Hum, wonder who is running the company because this is from a 22 year old ...

Any report that is 100%, give a 2 cent per line bonus for that report, you would be surprised what a little bit of positive reinforcement does. ...

We've all seen the blogs lately. Failing audits for not putting a comma, getting marked off for adding or deleting a word to make the sentence make better sense, not following CP and so forth. Here's something for MM to ponder (if they were actually reading all this). If accuracy truly means something to you, and that is one of your "selling points" to your clients (their website boasts "industry leading accuracy rate"), then why don't you give your MTs a chance ...

I just cannot wrap my head around why I continually get 100% accuracy and still get the shaft. This last week?.....I'm over QA by 0.23%, yet I repeatedly get 100% accuracy time and time again. I so need to change jobs, but I just cannot figure out which way to go…not to mention since taking pay cut after pay cut for the last 10 years, I cannot afford to go back to school, and I wouldn't know what to go for anyway…when I got into this field, I thought it was a sure thing, ...

I didn't get points off but still - the client profile says NOT to use cc but to change it to mL Go figure! ...

All headers are now no longer counted in the line count. We're already out of work most of the time and now this. We don't get paid for cc's that we add or all the info on the pt before we ever start typing. I'd say when we do have work they're getting a lot of free work from us. ...

murmurs, gallops, or rubs OR murmurs, gallops or rubs? I am old school and taught that the first is correct, but I waste a huge amount of time and keystrokes correcting this and other instances like this. I looked at the AAMT link, but really didn't get a sufficient answer if the second is OK to leave as that is the preferred way ASR puts it; however, every grammar site I looked at online puts the additional comma in. ...

Log on this afternoon to NJA. This is after my TSM asked me to switch hours because they needed help on Friday. Praying and hoping work starts to trickle in soon as I do not want to be sitting up all night waiting for work. Need to get in hours like everyone else. ...

if the 99% accuracy rate also applies to the ILP? After all, CBay and Medquist have become one company called Medquist (something, it has changed too many times for me to remember), but I would think if it is company policy it should apply to all. Most of us have an average of 99% or above accuracy rate, but I still have a problem with making it the standard rating. Especially given the consistent inaccuracy or ASR and the increase of lines per hour for many MTs. If this ...

Are they kidding? Who has 99.5% accuracy every audit. This is the new Mmodal accuracy rule. Sounds like they are trying to weed out that is for sure. You would have to be a robot to get this accuracy every single time you transcribe. ...

I started at Nuance about a month ago. I am a new MT, graduated from CareerStep with Honors at 94%. I've been transcribing for 2.5 weeks now. I have quite a bit of anxiety because my QC scores are not improving, sometimes even getting worse. I seem to have troubles with numbers in particular. I will listen through labs or vital signs again and again and I am sure that I am hearing 116, not 160. I am just beginning to feel hopeless, like I am not good enough. A goal of 99% seems so far when ...

I just checked the accuracy of one of our best ESL dictators after editing. He has 28% accuracy. Total words: 350. Total errors: 64 (words and punctuation). This was a full page of report. I wonder what the average accuracy is for your dictators? How low a figure will they settle for allowing in the patient records? ...

I was wondering if anyone would tell me their experiences with the accuracy requirements for Synernet, how many audits they've had, what you did to bring up your scores... Like that. I cannot for the life of me see what I am doing, yet for the past 9 months I've been audited and keep getting put on 3-5 day QA. I'm worried that this is the last time... I mean, I READ the feedback and take it all in, but there is no consistency to what they mark against me! Any info would be a ...

I downloaded FlashCount and love the ease of use. However, it gives a count which is slightly higher than when I manually do it in Word by dividing characters with spaces by 65. Is there a way to adjust the settings in FlashCount so it will give me the same count. I wonder if it is counting things like bold, etc. Or, is there another counting program that will count batches of files and do it accurately? It need not be freeware. I will pay for it. Years ...

How in the world are you supposed to meet that? Do they pay more for that kind of perfection? 98.8 is only about half a typo. Seems like they want something for nothing. That was in the recent job ads on this board. ...

There probably have been answers to my question out here before, but does anyone know what causes the formatting in an EditScript document of which I am either editing or transcribing? It tabs, bolds, changes font sizes, and messes up the spacing between lines.....things I did not manually do myself. Is there something I should be changing on my RTF? Or is it something else? Seems like I may have seen something about that, but I can't find it in my manual (which doesn ...

I just got an email saying the 10% submission rate starts April 1, and the 5% on May 1. ...

I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore. &nbs ...

Instead of the funky little Q's everywhere, it will be a pair of M's. Then for MT week, they will pass out a tiny bag of M&Ms, gold of course, with little MM on one side and big $$ on the other... ...
