what kind of brainiac - sm
Posted: Jun 01, 2010
puts a stutterer on ASR?
Hard to believe - FormerMT
[ In Reply To ..]I had a general surgeon on my main account who had the worst stuttering problem I have ever heard in my life. He would literally have to restart phrases and sentences sometimes more than a dozen times to complete the thought. This would continue throughout the entire report. I can only imagine what that would be like on ASR.
It is a eyesore - I have one
[ In Reply To ..]I have one stutterer on my primary who some brainiac decided could be put into the VR system.
As you said, literally the same 3-6 words stuttered over and over again comes up to be edited *eye roll*
At least the stuttering areas REALLY stand out and are easy to delete but, yeah, I hear ya...it's an eyesore and a time-consuming pain in the derriere, lol!
The same ones who put all the horrible ESLs on it and think it is going to solve everything - Old and Tired MTs
[ In Reply To ..]I have complained about this all the time and I get the same answer-- they think the ASR is the "cure-all" for everything-- no matter that it types out nothing but garbage. If you can't understand them in the first place, how are you supposed to fix the crap that the voice churns out?
I have one I call The Tongueless Wonder - Who really irritates me
[ In Reply To ..]Totally American, not ESL, and no reason for her sloppiness.
I swear to you this woman's tongue is dead and lying on the bottom of her mouth. She enunciates NOTHING, just slurs out a 4 minute report that neither the human ear nor ASR can decipher. That limp tongue of hers is so bad even after a year on ASR it still picks up or discards random pieces of her dictation because it can't figure out what she's attempting to spit out.
She's my biggest pet peeve and I fear if I ever met her face to face, I'd take a pair of forceps and pull her tongue out and staple it to her chin.
Ahhhhhh, that felt good to vent!
Thanks for the laugh. - CA-MT
[ In Reply To ..]I know what you mean about that dead tongue. It seems our younger generation is enunciating less and less. Maybe it's just not cool. ?
You could be onto something because there are 3 that speak similarly - The Tongueless Wonder is just the worst of the lot
[ In Reply To ..]The other 2 aren't QUITE as bad as The Tongueless Wonder, but same sloppy enunciation skill set. They're more in the too-lazy-too-open-my-mouth-all-the-way category (another pet peeve of mine, but this tongueless one is probably the sloppiest dictator I've had in 20+ years experience).
I always find myself thinking of that little girl in the "Vacation" movie who had no tongue but could whistle like a bird and eat like a horse, or however they described her...although sadly, even with that visual, I can't laugh at her indifference to her dead tongue, lol!
just coming back to this thread - sm
[ In Reply To ..]You have me ROFL!!!! Thank you. I needed a laugh today.
My pleasure! - Tongueless Wonder MT
[ In Reply To ..]Unfortunately, she and that lifeless oral appendage of hers are in my cue tonight...
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
sm - dog daze
[ In Reply To ..]why, the MQ kind of course!
The very same who have had me NJA for 2 days now. - Tired
[ In Reply To ..]Only after PROMISING extra work on Memorial Day.
I didn't transcribe a single word yesterday.
DYING, I AM DYING from laughing so - hard at your post
[ In Reply To ..]You gave me tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard. Hubby thought I was losing it, but that was the BEST laugh not only of the day but by far the YEAR. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for that laugh, it was SOOOOOO needed.
