Credit for difficult dictators

As above, I hope in the future this particular issue could be addressed. This problem is already escalating (at least from where I am now). This was made even worse by the advent of the SR system. So, probably some form of counseling or even penalty (major or minor) can be imposed on the dictator if he/she fails to comply. Coz the way I see it producing a good or even the best transcript is not just the MT's responsibility, but also the dictator's. I hope these dictators do e ...

were supposed to be paid more for doing? MQ knows exactly what it is doing and knows very well that things need to be sent to QA. This is nothing but a reason to drop our wages to Indian wages, they have no respect for us at all. They are now putting these rules on us, THEY ARE, and then saying it is totally on the MTs shoulder for anything that goes wrong. Is this legal? ...

It is difficult enough to understand some of the foreign dictators but when they dictate with monitors beeping, nurses and doctors talking, in the middle of their lunch -brups/cruch/slurp and then they WHISPER ... UGH!!! It sure makes for a long, long work day! Just once I would love for a manager to send that message to the hospital to please ask the doctor to either speak up or move to a quieter place to dictate ... alas that never happens and we suffer through the report ... but at lea ...

I didn't see a cost differential for difficult dictators in the new plan? Did anyone else? So you can work day shift with the lowest tier and have the crappiest dictator around but still get lowest pay. And isn't it lovely that the new rate will be on the Dec. 26 paycheck? I guessing there may be a mass exodus in January. ...

to dump these reports so the owner doesnt have to pay QA for them because they cant do them at all. They QA the whole report almost. I am totally burnt out with this and not sure what to do. Any ideas out there. ...

Today I will make less than half of what I normally get because all I've gotten today are crappy, hard to understand dictators, both ESL and English-speaking. Seems like all I get lately are the hard to understand, mush-mouth dictators. Guess Nuance doesn't want their MTs making quota. Sorry. I just had to vent. ...

Anyone else had a credit inquiry alert from Nuance? This happened lately too. This is sort of disturbing, and I don't remember applying for any other jobs there too. I've been working there for a while too. Don't they have to have my permission to do this? ...

Now that I have my certification, I am starting my job search. I applied to a medical center in a large city nearby that requires a credit check. What does my credit history have to do with a job? ...

Let me get this straight, if I send a job to QA for demos or if I am in training and have 100% QA, then when they correct or proof it, when they send it, they get the line count credit! Is that what I am reading into this? REALLY? Please tell me this isn't true. ...

Last night I did two fairly long duplex studies where the doctor says "use my standard" with a lot of "move this, take that out, insert this..." Not difficult, but time consuming. When I went in to look at my line count after my shift, I got a total of 20 lines for the two reports, or 16.48 cents! What gives with this? Did I miss the memo, or did they just not tell us? Next week they'll be asking us to pay them when we actually get work. :o( ...

cant win for losing these days in this field. Cant WAIT for school to start this fall, so I can start my new career. This field is pure insanity anymore., a real blow to the ego. Its like all these years of experience we have mean NOTHING anymore. ...

After my worst day in a long time or maybe ever, I noticed DQScribe was weird when I tried to log out. Sure enough I checked later and didn't get credit for my last job. Don't know if it went back into the pool or on through to the customer for free. I hate this stupid company. ...

If someone has lousy credit, why would this matter for an MT position? Maybe there are extenuating circumstances why their credit isn't good, like loss of previous job, death in the family or other emergencies. ...

Had an excellent job until hospital outsourced 5 years ago, downhill from there. Paycheck for the last 2 weeks was $88. I bet over in India they made more than me even with 35 years exp. I have tried so hard to get credit cards paid down or off, but then we have to use them for buying gas to heat house, buy groceries, buy gas, etc. I would have nver thought I would be in such a mess like so many of us at my age. Major back disability and surgery, have not been to ...

Anyone know if you can get the tax credit? I asked the school and they were not sure. They don't participate in federal financial assistance programs. Anyone know? Thanks. ...

Hello. My wife just finised the Career Step course in March. She is already employed and doing great. My question is in regards to any 2011 tax credits/breaks we can claim as she studied full time at this program. Can we claim that she was a full time student for at least 5 months? Any thoughts? Have a great day... Jeff ...

I have to file bankruptcy in the next month or so. There's no way around that. I am also going to be starting a coding program. A lot of coding employers do a credit check. I guess I'll finish coding school in a year or so, so by that time, after building back up my credit, will the bankruptcy not matter so much to future employers? ...

I gave before thinking about. Now I am wondering should I have done such a thing. If have had some financial issues due to the economy and my credit is horrible. House almost went into foreclosure and such. Consistently ran out of work until I took a full time in-house position. ...

Does anyone seem to be missing credit for straight transcription typing. I keep meaning to keep track of the straight transcription reports I type compared to ASR even though they are very few and far between, but I swear, every time I do get them, when I review my counts, it seems like some of them are missing. I am going to try to keep better track of them. Surely Medquist wouldn't stoop THAT low to cheat us . . . or would they?? ...

My account went to Epic, not the first time I've lost an account to Epic, so I should be used to this by now. All these little partial dictations of a couple lines or less makes it extremely hard to get a decent line count/make money (!). That, in addition to no punctuation and apparently the speech rec engine has to start "learning" the dictators all over again. It's just horrible. Words of support or encouragement desperately needed. ...

you just edited their VR program? What software would you need/use and how would they send it to you, etc. Moving out-of-state and thinking of ways to get new business. Thanks in advance for any help! ...

Can someone please advise how to handle one physician in practice who mumbles and rambles? I believe someone has spoken to him before, but it has not gotten better. I have many years of experience, but must leave many blanks in his dictation. This is very frustrating and time consuming for me. Thanks ...

Just sitting here laughing to myself as I listen to an ESL dictator that I've had report after report by, heavy accent, talking about how difficult it was for him to get an exam done with a patient who is "difficult to understand due to language barrier." HA!!!! Welcome to my world. ...

I've worked as an MT for 10+ years, but haven't taken the CMT exam. I'm wondering how difficult it really is. Do I need to study for a month straight or is it fairly easy? ...

I have done everything else in tier 2, but I have only done a few radiology reports a long time ago, can't remember. What's radiology like? ...

I am an MT, I am 51, I haven't been in school for over 30 years. I know there was a discussion below about being too old to start school. But I wonder from the MTs who did this in their 50s, did you have trouble with the work? I am not stupid, I don't feel that I am too old, but I am afraid that I won't be able to do it. Just wondered if anyone else felt the same way. Please no comments about if I don't think I can do it, I won't be abl ...

I'm seriously considering enrolling at one of the "top two" MT online schools. I'm good at English grammar, spelling, type over 100 wpm with 98% accuracy, a perfectionist, and am also very focused. I do have a full-time job, but can easily devote evenings and time on the weekends to complete the course. I'm up for a challenge, but after doing quite a bit of research, this sounds really difficult. Feedback please! ...

First day for me beginning FTR. Started out very well, no markers, then BOOM!!.....right into one of the most difficult doctors. Ugh! This is one we discussed in our "conference call" for FTR. This is frustrating because we were told that it does not matter how difficult the dictator is, there will be no exception as to sending anything to QA. I'm sitting here with about 8 blanks yet to fill...unsure what to do. First time to post on this board, but I've ...
