i swear MQ's asr is not getting any of the months of the year right - its a conspiracy

The worse ASR is the more they need us to fix the garbage it spits out. Plus the worse it is the less MQ can justify cutting ASR rate. Just know you are trudging along in the same ASR slop as the rest of us. Plus remember MQ probably either fired the ASR tech people or outsourced them to India, they are reaping what they sowed.

Anther conspiracy? A lot of people have been complaining about the aundunt, crazy mistakes that ASR has been making.

Our region got an e-mail from our CCM that said that they are aware of the problems, something after the "upgrade" but unless the MT alerts support a lot of the stuff is just going to stay the same.

Gotta get pro-active at work. I've taken the time to point out several incidents and the results was that a couple of the docs were taken off and a couple of the words that were consistently being typed in wrong were corrected.

Make it easier on yourself, call support and make reports. Copy and paste what ASR is saying, that's what I did.

PRO-ACTIVE. Remember since ASR IS here to stay, it learns from what we, the mighty MTs teach it. Might as well make our work easier.

Redundant speech - flying fingers

[ In Reply To ..]
One thing I do to make life easier (and to try to help ASR learn) is to make macros via Autocorrect for endings that the dictators say over and over again. For example, if Dr. Jones always says, "Dr. Jones, end of dictation, thanks." I make a macro, call it jonesend, and when he says his ending (which ASR will inevitably type in wrong), I highlight it, type jonesend, and it puts it in there. Then, I highlight it again and put a redundant speech marker over it. Supposedly, it SHOULD learn. It has learned things like "send a copy to" but "end of dictation" usually comes out "indication" or "medication."

Hi Everyone: I am an attorney-turning-medical-transcriptionist. I began a training program due to the fact that, shortly, I will be living in the U.S. part of the year and in Mexico 5 months of each year. I wanted a "portable" and enjoyable career. I am discovering, though, that companies are very leery of this arrangement. Primarily, I think the problem revolves around perceived tax implications (there are none-I continue to pay U.S. taxes as if I was not physically out of t ...

I've been gone from MQ for about 5 months now, working at the front desk at a local group of docs office. I learned how to schedule patients and meetings, take payments, do the office bills, and file claims and bill insurance for patients and I've got to say, I never gave a thought to much of the person working the front desk. I have been yelled at, threatened, given dirty looks and was once even told that I was an "old, ugly hag". All this usually happens when ...

Is there anyone out there currently employed with Cardioscribes? I realize that there is some India association but at this point I am so desperate for a job I would take any kind of association with it if they were to offer. If you are employed with Cardioscribes would you either please email me or just give me some insight on the company before I apply? Platform, pay, benefits, schedule, strictness of the schedules, etc., the usual and anything that you can think of. ...

I have to say the stress level went down almost immediately. I went on to be a CNA and though physically harder work, there is room for growth financially and moving up into another position. Not so with Nuance. Growth potential at this place was zero-more like they try to keep you held down as much as possible. I loved transcription when I started 10 years ago, but this company made me dread even looking at my computer. Good luck to all those who are still here. Prayers for you as you struggle ...

the summer. I took a couple months to find a new job. When I did, unfortunately, the only thing out there was transcribing so, I reluctantly took the job. I was absolutely floored. They are without a doubt the best company I have ever worked for. They don't do off shoring or use MTs from India/in India. I just got a gift card in the mail from them! My boss is wonderful. I have issues with taking care of my husband and they never give me grief ...

Can someone please tell me how 4 MONTHS NOTICE is insufficient for PTO?! It would seem that as a manager your responsibility would be to assess and find coverage as required, and with that much advance notice you shouldn't have a terrible time doing that. Besides, it's not like my shift is the one that's always hard up for extra help. C'mon! Don't act like I've put you in a pickle, you have 4 months to figure out a simple 5-day solution. &nbs ...

except to get worse, so I don't regret leaving.

I have done MT work my entire adult life and always thought I would do it until I retired because I found it interesting and challenging, but the profession has changed so much now that I hav ...

For months you have complained about NJA and other people logging on randomly and taking your work away. So MQ comes up with a system whereby this will no longer be allowed to happen -- and you are now complaining about it too ? The point here is to make sure that you will have work at your scheduled time without other people hopping on and doing it. Isn't that what you have been wanting ?You have been really spoiled by MQ if you are used to logging on 15 minutes lat ...

I worked for DIT Transcription for almost four months and only received $128 from them. They still owe me $2130!! If this has happened to anyone else please contact me. I am trying to get a group together to do something about this once and for all. New transcribers do your homework. If something seems too good to be true it ALWAYS is. They were the only company that would hire me right out of school with no MT experience and now I see why. If I had only Googled this company thi ...
