using Shorthand with editing reports

It seems to me since the red box has been taken away that the speech recognition engine has gotten worse...meaning that while I am editing, some words are just totally left blank on the screen. Then there are some words and phrases that are not even close to what the speaker is saying. I know speech rec was not that good anyway but it just seems to me that it has gotten worse in the past several weeks. Anyone else notice this? ...

I edit the report and then re-read to proof it. I don't find it redundant because I do find errors that I've missed. I just wonder if I'm an exceptionally slow editor. I was a fast transcriptionist, but this is a completely different job. I use Shorthand as an expander, but my speed just doesn't increase much. I find I spend a tremendous amount of time on the demographics more than else (searching for the correct patient, etc.). If the patient i ...

Can anyone help me out with editing costs. I want to know if anyone knows a rate to charge by the minute for voice dictation. I am advertising for editing services and I want the voice dictations to come along with the reports. But if you get a rotten dictation that takes up a lot of your time to listen to it, I don't want the cost per line charge. What would be a competitive rate to charge per minute? ...

Providers editing their own reports, yea. Go back through and look at your old reports and see if the blanks are filled in. About 85% are not filled in. Many providers are salaried employees of the institution. When they stop seeing 1-2 patients per day to edit and/or type their reports, it will take awhile 2-3 years I suspect at the least, for the bean counters to figure out why their salaried employees are seeing fewer patients, generating less income. Then somebody will come up with the no ...

We need mandatory overtime for this? ...

Can anyone tell me if there is some sort of formula for pricing out the finall editing of a DragonSpeak report? I am assuming that it would be much less than if it were priced for typing the entire file. thanks, bill ...

Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)? I definitely prefer very long reports! ...

Am i the only one that just hates the long ones? And by long I mean anything over like 4 minutes. I love progress and ER notes! ...

Someone recently had an issue with Shorthand and Autocorrect both operating at the same time, and they were apparently fighting with each other, because both of them had some of the same expansions/corrections, so the user was getting duplicate text. I finally worked out a system for myself where Shorthand is used for actual expansions, shortcuts, etc. Autocorrect is restricted to correcting misspelled and mis-capitalized words.If I have done it correctly, never the twain should meet, and I can ...

I've been using Shorthand all along on my work computer and love it, particularly the fact that it works anywhere - email, Word, platforms, etc. I recently downloaded the trial version for my home computer, but, while it works fine in Word documents, it won't work at all anywhere else. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? ...

Ok, I downloaded Short Hand expander program but, for the life of me, it looks just like the standard auto expander/auto correct that comes with word. I've looked over the very brief tutorial that came with it and I don't see where this will increase my productivity anymore than my current Word-based AC/AE work for me. All those Short Hand experts out there (and I believe there are at least a few of you), can someone tell me how this works differently than what I'm already usin ...

Does anyone know if Shorthand will work in MS-DOS? Thanks. ...

Do you have a Shorthand 10 program to spare me that's not limited only for 30 days? I just updated to Windows 7 and badly needs a shorthand expander compatible for Windows 7.here's my email just in case:top_v_gun@yahoo.com Thanks! ...

that message again about your Shorthand license will expire in ??? days? Just wondering if it's just me ~ or they trying to tell me I will not have a job in 20 days? ...

Since I'm unable to use MS auto correct with my current platform I explored Shorthand, a program I used years ago. They've gotten too smart for me. All I want to do is add words on the fly. The screen I get when invoking SH10 shows no way to save any entry I might make. Surely I'm missing something here. If anyone can point the way I'd appreciate it--enter text, save and move on. Thanks. ...

Does it work interactively in MS Word? Can you easily transfer your entries from Autocorrect to Shorthand? I was checking out Instant Text but apparently now you have to download it, not avail on disk. I think this means if your computer crashes and/or you want it on a new computer you have to RE-BUY it (at almost $200)...yeah I don't think so! ...

If you get 800 lph on VR, what platform to you use, what types of reports do you type? ...

Can anyone tell me about VR editing, the pay seems quite low about 3 cpl. How many lines can you do in an hour? I am a very fast typist, but unsure about VR and have a job interview for this. Thanks for your help ...

I understand that everything is going to the way of the editor and not typing, but when the editor keeps missing whole sentences or makes up words that sound nothing like the doctor is saying, how is one supposed to make any money? I only get paid .04 per line to edit and I am spening more time trying to fix editing mistakes than I would if I just erase the text and type it out. Very frustrating. Thank God my husband has a good paying job, otherwise I would have to find another ...

I work for a company that uses M*Modal for VR and all the reports have SO much editing. There are complete words missing, words added that clearly aren't being dictated, at least 2 words on each line that have to be edited. I'm doing so much more work for less pay than I was straight typing everything. This is the only editing I've done so I don't know if this is normal for editing or if M*Modal just sucks! My line counts suck, my pay sucks. Any ...

and I know that they use Escription. Does anybody know if they EVER will start someone out higher than 3 cpl? I have 32 years of MT experience and about 3 years of editing experience. Thanks for any comments. ...

So, last week the system went down right as I was finishing up an extremely long job. When it finally came back up, there was another glitch and before I could hit "recover", the job sent to the hospital as I originally got it with no editing whatsoever! The hospital got in touch with Medquist EXTREMELY upset and in turn I got an e-mail wondering why that happened. I feel like contacting this hospital myself and letting them know this THIS is what Medquist gives us to work ...

Does anyone know of a good VR editing course? I've been an MT for 26 years but it seems obvious that editing is in my near future. Help! ...

Is it even possible to make good money doing editing at 4 cpl? How much could one expect to make per hour at such a low rate? ...

I'm a seasoned MT and would like to learn how to do VR editing. Are there any companies that will hire and train? ...

Recruiter called me today. 3.3 cpl for editing? Next!!! ...

Obviously we know the whole 50% more productive thing was a lie, but has anyone ever done a study on how much editing needs to be done on average? Just curious if any real numbers have ever been posted on this. ...

Or will all editing be done in India in the future? I see more and more MTs retiring early and/or finding work other than MT (Walmart, etc.) until they can retire. What will happen when there are no more MTs? Just a thought. ...

Just wondering if someone out there could explain to this transcriptionist who has never worked with VR how the line count is done? Getting ready to come to work for MModal in the near future and trying to figure everything out. ...

Any of you currently performing EMR editing? What does it entail? How's the pay and how does it compare to standard VR editing? Thank you for your input. ...
