Does everybody keep a log of at least job numbers? - anything to speed up
Posted: Jan 25, 2013
I've been keeping a Notepad document running of all my job numbers in order to confirm Fiesa feedback (sometimes they get the wrong MT, had that happen 3 times so far, so you need to check that if a correction is not familiar to you) or whatever issues might come up. But occasionally I forget to even log a report, and I realized that I can double-check via Metrics as well as with my ID and date on Search Dictations, so why bother? Just wondering if some don't bother with this and have had any trouble with not keeping a log? Or any other feedback on whether or not you feel it's worth spending time on this would be appreciated. I think I'm only going to note those that are straight transcription from now on (because I've also had a couple of those not credited correctly, argh).
I used to write down the job # ...... sm - mt2
[ In Reply To ..]for the above reasons but that simple step is time consuming and a pain. I do not look at FIESA any longer. Upsets my entire day. Now I just log in, work, log out.
I think it probably is more time-consuming than I realized. - OP
[ In Reply To ..]Even just typing it with going back and forth from EditScript screen to my log with Alt-Tab. I can't imagine that it's hardly ever been necessary for anyone to prove a lost report, but I don't totally check my log against my Metrics to be sure. I did for a while early on and never had anything missing, so I stopped doing that, but still kept the log going.

My actual ASR lph and what they say I could do if there wasn't any "inactive" time is usually almost double. I have no idea how I can humanly close that gap. And yes, I am not using the dreaded mouse. I put my nose to the grind stone with absolutely no inactivity due to doing anything other than edit, and yet, I still come up with the lph they report I am doing rather than what they think I should be able to do without any inactivity. Interesting that this time they had a mouse click re ...

Examples are hearing a 0 instead of an 8 such as 130 instead of 138 or hearing a 2 instead do a 3 or even in platelets thinking I am hearing a value of 300,000 versus 200,000.
