VOICE WRECK IS WORSE THAN EVER

Voice wreck has been set up to make us fail. That is clear to me now. The dictation could not be more clear, but the voice wreck will change it just to mess us up and prevent us from attaining any incentive or bonus. This has been particularly true with regard to numbers in lab values, ages, medication dosages, numbered lists, etc. NUANCE DOESN'T CARE. They just want their money. Also, there is no chance for advancement in this company. The only chance for change in this company is t ...

What's with voice rec when most of the file is full of words that are not what the dictator says. I have to type more than edit on these reports. It seems to me it should be put in the straight type pool. It is hard to concentrate on these kinds of files and do a good job. ...

Is it possible for voice wreck to be better on one account than another, or am I just noticing coincidences? One account, I might re-type anywhere from 60-80%, another account I might re-type 20%. Could this be due to software or equipment, or is it just a coincidence? ...

so posting this here. I just can't seem to get any speed on VR and the drafts coming through are really not that bad. I can easily straight type 150-175 LPH, but I struggle with VR so much. I just got hired at this company and we are only required to get 200 LPH, which is reasonable. Why is it such a struggle for me? I have tried and tried to figure it out. My eye cannot seem to follow with voice and I end up going over and over words. Have tried magnifying the screen to about 14 ...

I am on working right now and had to get away and vent on her for a second because the editing with voice wreck is SOOOO bad right now, I am putting way more effort into the reports than what I am getting paid for. There are amazingly stupid mistakes, whole sentences missing, other sentences made up that are nothing like the dictator is saying. If this is going to be the way it is tonight, it's gonna be a short night for me. I refuse to make crap pay for this kind of work. ...

This company's written test says that I can't use any references, but based on the questions they're asking, I'd have to be a doctor to be able to answer them! So am I to assume that I can't use references when I work either? So sick of jumping through hoops for these companies... ...

on Fluency. I have had problems with it all day. ...

I was wondering, is anybody making any money at all on voice? I keep hearing just minimum or maybe a little more. I call minimum wage 7.50 to 8.00 an hour. My experience with it was at one point I was told that I hadn't made enough for minimum and they had to do make-up pay. So how is everybody's experience with voice? I run from it, and I just want to know if anybody really can make an money? Thanks. ...

we have dictators who compose sentences such as this: "A xx-year-old female accompanied by daughter in secondary to within the last week has run out of her amlodipine, Prozac and clonidine anywhere from 3-5 days ago each of these." I kid you not, that is what this doctor said. American doc, speaking clear English. Now tell me, what am I supposed to do with that? It is a verbatim account, but the last time I let some gobbly gook like that go through I got chewed out for it (!) ...

I worked for Spheris for 4 years and it was great. Mmodal took over almost a year ago and changed everyone to speech wreck, took Outlook email away and put us on some horrible slow email system and now it takes at least 30 minutes of wait time to get the Help Desk on the phone. I am looking for a new position that is straight transcription. If anyone knows of one, PLEASE let me know!!!! Speech wreck has caused by paycheck to be cut in 1/3 at least. Thanks! ...

As per usual, SR came up with a medical worde for a non-medical word and used it throughout a report. Think about what might sound like "peanuts" and substitute that in sentences like "the patient was allergic to peanuts," "She ate some peanuts." ...

I can't help but think of my days and months of training and if I consistently put out work like I am correcting, I would have been fired in a New York minute!!! Please don't post the normal you can get out, it's your fault for staying, blah, blah, blah. I just wish someone would listen as to what a mess this is and the chances of mistakes getting through because there are so many corrections and words that are not even medical or consistent with the report. Just ...

hypo in a tree mix = hyponatremic I wish we could bombard the emails of the powers that be and show them the crap that comes out of their famous speech recognition :o) ...

I have tried to explain to manager that the program is slow, and does not seem to ever correct a lot of "normal" dictation, so I have come here to ask a question of you. I feel that we are not getting enough keystroke count for these jobs. I have had lengthy jobs with small actual counts because of all the repairing (MEing), and pickiing up of nearby conversations, using markers judiciously as requested. None of these markers are included in the count that I can see, but they a ...

Does anyone know anything about this job? Are they real people? Or is is a software program correcting the SR software program? What do they get paid? How does it all work? How does the software program work? It is watching the corrections we make on a dictator and make changes? It is working from some kind of medical dictionary of possible pronounciations (I made that up!)? Anyone up for the challenge of explaining it to me? Thanks in a ...

I know every time the phone rings or I get an Ipswitch email i'm going to have a tiny heart attack lol The news probably won't come until tomorrow but it's the waiting to determine my whole future that's got me on edge! ...

We were supposed to provide 3 job numbers with examples of the same errors being made over and over again. Well, I did just that with numerous jobs because of numerous errors. Not one stinking thing has been done. Does this mean my TSM was just whistling Dixie and blowing smoke and did nothing about the information I provided, or does it mean the ASR technicians were whistling Dixie, blowing smoking and did nothing? Why is no one held accountable for the mess that is called Nuance? ...

I just came across "Benzapril" listed as a medication that Speech Wreckignition picked up. Granted, that is how this doctor pronounced it, but it should be "benazepril." (Also notice that the original was capped while the correct is lower case.) Now, I've seen this a couple times, and from what I understand, the speech system can't just "make stuff up." Someone has had to have physically type that out in straight transcription (either when it was learning) or c ...

I've been reading these boards for years, and have never posted. But I'm desperate for some advice. I have worked for years at a very small company as an IC and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, life events threw me a curve and I was forced to find an employee-status job. I thought I landed THE best opportunity. I have been with Accentus for a few months and absolutely hate it. I WANT soooooooo badly to like it and make it work, as I do believe it is one of the better companies out ...

I work for another company, and they recently got a speech-wreck program that I believe has some M*Modal software in it. Do they have SR software that is specifically for radiology? Also, if a company purchases SR software that has M*Modal's stamp on it, how likely is it that the purchasing company might be in line to get taken over by M*Modal? Because if that happens, I'm out of there. ...

Dictated: vegetations SR: bitch dictations I sat and laughed for a good 2 minutes...smh and the thing I wonder the most is HOW does SR even know that word?? LOL ...

I am a coding student at Andrews. I have been looking at coding jobs tonight and came across this one that really got my attention... in a not so good way. Would like to hear your thoughts on this one my friends. http://careerassist.ahima.org/jobseeker/job/10710369/Remote%20Experienced%20Coders/Healthcare%20Coding%20&%20Consulting%20Services%20(HCCS)/?vnet=0&t731=39387 HCCS Remote Coding R&D Specialists are working on the most advanced and exciting CAC p ...

I get really good dictators and the stupid machine screws up what is said and I am changing things all the time! It is very frustrating and I should be getting more pay than I am because of this crap! ...

Been sitting here a lot of the morning with NJA. Then I finally get a 500+ second job and by George if it isn't a female resident who sounds like one of the Lollipop Guild from the Wizard of Oz. I can't win anymore. Let's see -- alcohol or drugs. . . . . . ...

I thought this ASR crap was supposed to get better as it "learns" the doctors and their frequently-used phrases... didn't someone say that back in training? I'm talking about DSG in particular, but I know a lot of people use DQS ASR, so please bear with me. So, how come it now can't seem to get a single sentence without major corrections having to be done? I'm about ready to apply at McDonald's if this keeps up... my pay is about 1/3 of what it was when we did straight ...

I was terminated for reasons I won't go into here--after 9+ years at my last employer. Thing is--I was looking anyway and informed potential employers that the company just was "no longer a good fit." What finally tipped the balance was an e-mail we got a few months ago stating that after an MT had sent a certain percentage of reports to editing for comprehension issues, for instance, they would be penalized 0.03 cpl for doing so! Assuming this is legal, IMO, it's immoral ...

Now MTSO are offering 7 cents a line transcription and 3 cents editing?? When are we experienced MTs going to say enough is enough. 8 cents and 4 cents was bad enough, guess this is what they will try and get away with. ...

Hello all,I've been reading your messages regarding MedQuist and I'm a little confused about something. I see that most people are complaining about how horrible they are to work for, but what I'm wondering is, isn't working for them better than not having a job at all? I have only a little experience and am having a very difficult time finding work. I have been contacted by MedQuist and all of this talk makes me nervous. I am in dire need of a job though, so I'm thinkin ...

Had not heard of this before. Now it is automated dictation. You know how the national weather service bulletins are computer generated voices, chopping and mispronouncing words, monotone, etc.? Just got a call from a fellow MTE who is transcribing this type of dictation. Very difficult. I am disgusted. All this technology has done is add steps to to accomplish a very simple job. When I started in a doctor's office 30 years ago, we typed the dictation, pl ...

Dictator: The patient has a history of rheumatoid arthritis. ASR: The patient does have prior history of 12/11. SERIOUSLY!!! ...
