Unofficial poll - escription numbered lists - 7th child


Posted: Apr 24, 2014

I am just curious. About what percentage of lists that appear in your reports numbered, as in past medical history or medications, comes out correctly? I am guessing that with medications specifically, which I think it does a horrid job at, about 2 or 3 times a day out of about 20 reports, the list will come out correctly. The majority however is completely messed up, double numbers, wrong medications, etc. I can't believe what a piece of work voice wRECk is?! When I see the advertisements on TV for the Dragon software and it works perfectly...it makes my head want to explode! It reminds me years ago when they came out with those "electronic mosquito repellent" devices for your wrist. They advertised like crazy and didn't work for one second. They just try to sell voice wRECk to as many people as they can so our CEO moves up in rank from the 17th richest. Us peons fix it so the docs don't know how bad it is. Sigh

That dragon commercial is usually on while I am eating lunch. Makes me want to put my foot through the TV!

I have no idea what my reaction would be if I ever saw an accurate list or accurate transcription period.

Unofficial Survey --equineluvr

Hello ...  Especially Equineluvr  (E-mail name) Not sure when you posted your initial "vent" comments, but I couldn't agree with you more.  I hope that you stumble upon my reply.  You are right on with regard to AAMT, now AHDI, the "ole girls" club. Yeesh, where do I start.  First of all, I too, am completely and totally irritated by the name change from AAMT to AHDI.  The key word missing is transcription.  There are many reasons for that, one of which ...


Days Are Numbered
Feb 04, 2010

This is probably the last time I'll post on this forum--finally moved on from the Q this last week and start with another company Monday.   The relief I felt leaving MQ was palpable.   Our profession is doomed.  And I say that not to be a frowny Fannie, but because it's a fact staring us all in the face. The problems with the Q , although vexing, are not what we have to worry about.  Well, we do, but what is going to phase us all out is the electronic medical reco ...

Macro To Automatically Correct Numbered List
Dec 09, 2012

Hey guys, this is for all the editscript users or people who can't use the auto list function in word.  This macro will run through a list that looks like this: 2.  cat. 9.  dog 10. bird. 2.  fish. and corrects the numbers to look like this: 1.  cat. 2.  dog. 3.  bird. 4.  fish.   It stops after the list so nothing else gets changed.    To use it, create an empty macro and assign a hot key.  Then go in to edit the macr ...

Supervisor Hardly Ever Sends Patient Lists
Jan 31, 2012

My supervisor assigns me work, but 5 times out of 10, she never sends me the patient list, which I can't start without. I call or e-mail her, but sometimes she's not available when I call, and sometimes she doesn't answer my e-mail until 3, 4, 5, or more hours later. This wastes my time and does not allow me to work the times I need to. Any suggestions about what to do? ...

6.1 Poll

I'm one of the holdouts on switching to 6.1.  I use my own computer, a Vista 32 bit and it sounds like it should work.  However, there are so many people complaining how sluggish their computer is now, while others say they are having no problems, I'm curious.  My questions are: 1.  Are you using your own computer? 2.  Is it Vista, XP or Windows 7? 3.  Are you having problems with 6.1 being slow? I guess I'm hoping to hear that my computer will ru ...

How many hours a week do you work? What is your ...

Can We Do A Pay Poll?
Oct 30, 2014

I think it will help us all to know where we stand.  Maybe put a range of experience first, like 1-5 years, 6-10 years, 11-15 and 15+ and then your Regular/SR rate (not including any eve or weekend differentials).  I'll start:  11-15 years of experience.  0.0825 regular/ 0.0465 SR. For me, this is a pay cut recently.  I was working at a different company until recently, making .09 regular and .05.  Even though I know this MT thing is going down, it still suck ...
