having suffered through MModal's SR for a number of years... - SOSDD


Posted: May 14, 2014

I happened to have the TV on mute and was reading the typed output at the bottom of the screen.  Going strictly by the context of the balance of the text...saw "ret" for rest, Row Grahm for program, and several others that I noticed but can't recall at the moment...are they using speech recognition now? The quality of the text output has dropped dramatically lately.  Any thoughts?

Ikr?! My thots are that ppl - dont care how 2 spell

You know you do too much editing - when

you edit the news flashes on the bottom of the TV..There was an amber alert one night and they spelled so many things wrong I was kind of amazed..And the print media is really not much better, find a lot of things in there now as well.

I was looking - on the Greyhound website

They want you to strip when looking at their website because apparently they are???

Something funny re: - Editing...

Not long ago a couple of guys went all around the country correcting grammar and "editing" things like billboards and other signage, The Great Typo Hunt is their book. Sounded kind of amusing.

Has Anyone Ever Suffered The Displeasure Of Earning...

$1 per 3 minutes of "audio?" That's right, $1 per 3 minutes! Wasn't it supposed to be $1 per minute, the "going rate" for the past several decades...?! It seems to me, $1 per 3 minutes would yield approximately 3.3 cents per line, based on the old .10 per line rate...(I repeat, old rate)....and also, the $1 per 1 minute rule-of-thumb was supposed to be based on "decent" dictators, most of whom are extremely fast, as we know, so $1 per 3 minutes would likely be even less than 3 cen ...

After Years And Years Of Being IC, Obtained Employee Status At A Co. Sm
Nov 26, 2012

Thought that after not having enough work for a couple years now and always chasing work, I'd now have a "real job" as an employee and wouldn't have to worry about a steady paycheck and paying the bills anymore. The reason I thought this was because at the interview and in their professional company emails, they use all the "real job" words:  Shift, scheduled hours, overtime, PTO, benefits, etc.  I felt relieved to finally have a "job." What a big bunch of BS! I was "hired" ...


3 Years. Question: How Many More Years Do You Plan To Be An MT/editor?
Dec 20, 2013

There is much speculation about the field of transcription - how many of us actually plan to be here 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now. I realize that the field is going to change, which will contribute to your answer. Will there be enough transcriptionists/editors to fill the need in 5 years and in 10 years? Will the industry be forced out of offshoring because of taxes? Will there be a need even for editors if VR gets better? These are all unanswered questions, but my question is, what ...

Set Number Of Reports
Jul 29, 2010

Something new I have noticed about several different companies is how they give you a set limit of reports when first starting out...Anyway, we are paid based on production.  How is someone supposed to live on say 10 reports a day for 2 weeks?  To me, I find that to be very insulting, and needing to pay my bills, it's just not something I could do.  It would be similar to someone who is being paid by the hour being limited to 3 hours a day in their first 2 weeks of their new ...
